Samsung explained in a FAQ section the Galaxy S22 GOS throttling issue, indicating that a software update should fix it.
Samsung’s Game Optimizing Service (GOS) is a system app on phones like the Galaxy S22 series that’s responsible for throttling app performance. GOS should ensure that resource-intensive games do not lead to overheating and performance problems. But Galaxy S22 users found the app to impact apps that aren’t resource-hogging games. GOS on Galaxy S22 and other phones might slow down some 10,000 apps, as users recently discovered. Not on the list are benchmark apps. That is a form of cheating and it prompted Geekbench to remove the Galaxy S22 and other Samsung phones from its benchmark test. Samsung has already acknowledged the app throttling problem, promising a fix. Meanwhile, a list of frequently asked questions surfaced. Well-known Samsung insider Ice Universe posted the Galaxy S22 GOS FAQ answers on Twitter. The leaker has often voiced his concerns about Samsung phones, including the Galaxy S22 GOS throttling issues.
