S24 Battery Drain Post-Update

[Jay_Q]

I updated to one UI7 last night and now my battery while on idle is draining extremely fast. 

Had I known this would be an issue I would have never updated to this crappy software. 

This is a major issue and like I said I can notice the extreme battery drain while the phone is idle.

If Samsung doesn't fix this issue I will be filing a claim as to me this is now a defective item that they caused.

After this new update I've noticed severe battery drainage with my 24 ultra as well with my watch active 5. I recently started using a regular USB charging cable with my 24 ultra and an apple c block with my watch. Since samsung no longer supplies the c block with the devices it makes using their charging cable difficult unless you already have a block. I still have an old samsung c charging block from when I had my note 10 plus. I charged my phone the other night with my Samsung block and my battery does not seem to drain nearly as bad as when I use the old Samsung USB block. Maybe this conclusion can help others with their battery drainage after the update!!!!!!

This is my usage today. The drop is drastic and ridiculous. #Samsung needs to get their **bleep** fixed.

I've noticed the same accelerated battery drain on my s24 Ultra. I was in the beta program, and the issue seemed to appear in the last beta version. I don't know if it's related to the location icon always showing up on the status bar now, but, whatever it is, I certainly hope Samsung is preparing a fix. At this point, I'd just appreciate an acknowledgement of the problem and a statement that they're working on it.

Didn't need repairs before the update, thanks for nothing

Will turning off location services help with this at all?

I spent hours on chat with samsung over this exact issue.   They told me to do a factory reset ( and lose all my information)   that is unacceptable,  you caused the problem,  now fix it

We shouldn't have to repair our phones for your crappy update.  You can do it for free!
