This update makes my phone drain it's battery every minute every minute, before it used to last 1 or 2 days active use, now it doesn't even last an hour, the ui all of it sucks, Samsung really needs to re think there terrible design, they need to fire all people that created this horrid trashy ui
One thing worth noting is it opened a lot of doors for new permissions that give the chance for battery options like restricted optimized and unrestricted. also running in the background and also in your device care app you can check for excluded apps sync options with Google as well they put a few sneaky ones in there on the Google side with debugging
To be honest, I'm not even sure my battery life is worse. Could totally be the placebo effect. Battery life has never been stellar on my S23+. I also keep my phone between 30% and 90% (charger at my desk, in the car, by the couch, in the kitchen, etc).
I thought maybe someone who only charges at night might have a better handle on a change in battery drain.
Mine is notably bad. I can't even let it sit 8 hours without the battery dying. I used to have to charge like every other day and now I have to leave it on the charger all the time.
I have A Galaxy S23 Ultra 1tb tried rebooting cache from advanced screen still draining tried power settings still not working...hope Samsung will come up with a more refined update from the articles I've been seeing upgrading to the S25 Ultra won't solve the problem either
Good to hear Hopefully Samsung or Google will come up with a fix soon I don't want to go back to the old days of walking around with a back up battery pack this phone is pretty heavy as it is
