Since I got My A54 i have not had an issue with battery life. The phone is only a year old. Based on my usage patterns I've been getting 18-20 hours of uptime. I have not changed my usage, but after the April 1 security update last week, the uptime has decreased to 16-17 hours. Seems significant, but not critical. Anyone have any insights? Why would a garden variety security update cause a battery drain? I did clear the phone cache, as per usual, after the update.

Just saying, I did not get a May patch yet.  I suppose it'll come.

It was a GPS thing that was using way more battery than it should.

My May patch fixed my battery issue and overheating.
