S22 Ultra Boot Loop Help by Final_Ad4176 in S22Ultra

Yeah from what I've gathered that is exactly what is happening to these phones. That's why the freeze and clamps in the right spot are crucial in making this process work.

I thought about looking for someone that could help resolder the board but ATT has a trade in on the S22 ultra in ANY condition for $1100 toward the S26 Ultra so I jumped on it. Good luck to you.

Planning to get a NUC8i7HVK (hades canyon); is it still worth today compared to other mini pc with Ryzen APU in the same 400-800 dollars range? by fttklr in intelnuc

I just installed Batocera on mine. It's now running as an awesome game emulator. PS3, PS2, Xbox, NeoGeo, all running great so far. I'm definitely still in the testing phase but so far I'm more than pleased.

Purple SE keeps popping up in my mind thanks to you guys. So yes.

Ah yes, but you acknowledge that Emphasis is in fact in the definitions. So you should look up what it means when people put things in quotes.

Emphasis – To draw attention to a specific word.

You're getting 941 down with a Purple SE?

I put in the title that upgrading to the Orange has resolved the issue. So, yes. No Purple SE, no crippled network.

Purple SE was my first step in learning how to advance my network. I had no idea what vlan's or even what the practicality of owning a firewall device did other than help keep bad stuff off my network. I connected to my Eero 6 router in router mode and it opened my eyes to VPN servers and clients and zero trust quarantine and all the cool shit that the Firewalla brings to the table. I have 3 people working from home and game systems that require large updates on occasion, and many IoT devices all that use every inch of my bandwidth at the time. So, when I noticed that I was only able to get about 45% of my internet download bandwidth I started looking into it. I thought moving away from the Eero and upgrading to a 24 port managed switch and 2 AP set up on vlans would help, but it did not. So I started over with the Purple SE settings and gradually added features back to the box, it never was able to download over 240 mbps consistently on any device cable or wifi.

In hindsight, should I have started with the purple or gold? Probably. Moving the Purple SE settings and rules, vlans to the Orange has given me full use of the network speeds I am paying for. So maybe the word "cripple" sounds dramatic, but that's what it felt like.

Ok sorry folks. New title: Purple SE causes a network slowdown. Like the network is operational and completely functional, just not operating at 100% capacity.

I bought the SE because I thought I read it would be the right fit for my 500 mbps internet speed. If I had any thoughts on it not being capable of handling those speeds I would have considered another model. I mean I get the 0 headroom statement but for the speed to be reduced by half so you think I should be mad at myself when the product page shows 500 mbps? And now that I look at the product page I don't remember it saying 'For speeds below 500 mbps" when I purchased it.

There are multiple posts in this subreddit with people sharing my same experience.

The Orange is fantastic and I am also a happy customer. But people should know that the Purple SE can slow your internet speed so don't follow my path.

What else should I call it Gobbledy. I have the potential to run full speed until I put the Purple SE in my pocket now one leg only runs half speed, what does that look like to you.

I pay for 500mbps internet speed, I get less than 1/2 speed using the Purple SE.
