For those still waiting on their pre orders from late Feb/early March.
I've just got 'tracking number allocated' on S22U & bundled item.
Finally :)

My S21 Ultra Camera failed and I heard back from Samsung they are giving me a voucher for a replacement. Im more than happy as Ill be able to get the S22 Ultra with a small top up. In fact ive ordered today from Samsung NZ website.

Anyone had bluetooth issues after the update that was released late last week? My Android auto is wonky. It connects, I can dial from within my car, but the audio is still coming from the handset and I can't make it use the car audio.

That's a shocker. You might be able to pick one up from a store quicker than via Samsung.

Try contacting Samsung NZ via Facebook messenger. Seem to have done the trick for me. Ordered 20th Feb was supposed to be delivered 17th March. After multiple emails had no real response until I contacted Samsung NZ on messenger. Couple days later finally got it on 5th April.

Could be coincidence but worth a shot.

Same here, but with my S20 Ultra. The camera failed a tiny bit over 2 years after purchase. I have an S10 from them as a loan phone which I thought was good service, and now they've offered me a voucher that with a small top up I can buy an S22 Ultra with (to be clear the voucher can be used for anything on their store). I'm very satisfied with the service :)

So I purchased a screen protector from a tech shop at Dress Mart. It worked well for a few weeks and then started to lift. I went back and they replaced it FOC. The next one lasted a week and the replacement, which I am sure isn't the Zagg I originally purchased, has again begun to lift. 

 

They have tried to convince me to buy a case saying the protector is coming off when I put the phone in my pocket. 

 

Given that the factory Note 20 screen protector lasted me 6 months before lifting, without a case, I am inclined to think that is incorrect. 

 

I paid $50 incl installation and they have replaced the SP twice now, but it requires me to go to the shop each time it needs to be fixed. 

 

Not sure what I do at this point. Ask for a refund? They are insistent it's a lack of case problem, but I really don't want a case.

If its a flat screen protector (on the 22,22+) it shouldn't really lift.. If it is a 22U curved glass protector and that the glue is only on the surrounding edge of the protector, then yes it might be related.

 

A few factors to consider here - glass or plastic? 
If it is glass and on a curved screen, I have had stellar results with LOCA style protectors on my note 9 - i.e. whitestone dome or similar. 
If it's plastic... sounds like shoddy manufacturing.

Slightly OT but similar, my S10+ won't stay connected to the car since an update on the 15/4, keeps disconnecting and reconnecting.
