I'll soon be updating to the new Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. Since this phone is brand new, is there a way to know if Kabam is ready to support them? They operate on Android 12, which is already in use, so I would hope the new phones don't cause issues. However, I seem to recall past problems folks have reported with brand new phones. This is the first new phone I'm updating to in 3 years, so it's been a while since I've had to deal with it.

what you can't do is use third-party software to cheat I'm the game.
not sure if the mcoc game is optimized for enhanced graphical capabilities of S22 or if game experience will be better overall.
The S22 Ultra is not yet widely available, and its unique hardware configuration apparently tripped an anti-cheat detector, as the phone isn't in general circulation yet and hadn't been reviewed by Kabam. It should be validated now.
@Saumik I believe this specifically includes you.
And also @Lollo2912, who I would assume is in same alliance as Saumik and so his post was regarding that other player's couple acct's.
I hope that kabam will retire the ban
For context, when these reports first surfaced, I contacted a developer involved with fair play enforcement for the game. He is at least substantively responsible, for example, for the recent arena mass bot banning and rank rewards compensation, so his knowledge of these types of situations is direct, technically specific, and first hand. Upon being made aware of the issue Kabam immediately investigated and discovered that model (or model family) of phone errantly tripped a fraud detection system. They then took steps to eliminate the detection problem and reverse any bans that might have been triggered by it.
This had nothing to do with software installed on the phone to the best of my knowledge. It had to do with certain specifics of the phone device itself which I'm not going to discuss the technical details of.
While nothing is perfect (it is possible something new might come up) those phones should now be safe to use. I do not know if Kabam will make some sort of direct statement about this, but this information does come directly from Kabam operations, and I've also specifically linked this thread to the developer in question for them to have the option to correct me if I've stated anything incorrectly. But as far as I'm aware, this particular developer has no presence on the forums and allowed me to pass this information along publicly.
@Kabam Miike , could you pass along the suggestion to keep "the switch" ON by default? This isn't 2015 and almost every phone should be capable of running the good graphics. Sucks that everyone on new Android gets stuck with bad graphics by default. Hopefully it won't take months to get addressed.
The Pixel 6 Pro just recently got the good graphics enabled and it was released in October. What takes so long and why do they have a worse setting by default, no matter what the device is capable of?
EDIT: I'm using the Snapdragon version and had no problems or anything regarding a ban.
Kabam Miike mentions a "small gift" in his announcement. I wouldn't hazard a guess as to what that might be, but it seems like Kabam is making some attempt to compensate for the errant bans. It probably won't make players completely whole, especially if there was a cascade of problems with the ban (like missing AQ days) but they are at least thinking about it.
I just got that phone.
