Hi @crimsoncrust How long does your Battery last? Have you cleared the cache partition lately which is advisable after updates. Procedure as follows:
- Turn off the device.
- Connect To Computer or plug in USB-C Headphones , Press and hold the Volume Up key and then press and hold the Power key (plus Bixby Key if phone has one)
- When the Android logo displays, release all three keys.
- An 'Installing system update' message will show for 30 - 60 seconds before the Android system recovery menu options appear.
- Press the Volume down key several times to highlight wipe cache partition.
- Press Power key to select.
- Press the Volume down key to highlight yes, them and press the Power key to select.
- When the wipe cache partition is complete, Reboot system now is highlighted.
Press the Power key to restart the device.
Are you using any optimisation techniques such as turning off certain connections such as Bluetooth or Wifi when they are not needed and putting apps which are not used a great deal into sleep Mode? You can also use a Power saving at certain times, some of these points explained in the article @xSteveuk posted. However some customers have adequate battery life with Adaptive Refresh Rate and WQHD+ turned on. The Always on Display does use some battery life and some social media apps, particularly Tiktok can drain the battery more. Some Members use Dark Mode though I am not a fan of this being constantly on myself , prefer a balance of battery life and the best experience.
