Ive got a S22+ worked really good before the update. I was so happy with this phone. I updated yesterday and now battery is draining way faster than before and the phone is over heating. Called the customer service today and the only thing that they told me to was leave the phone on safe mode for couple of hours to check the battery.

I've clear the cache but did not work for me. I dont see the point of having a phone like this if I have to change settings all the time to turn everything off if Im not using it, especially because it was working really well before.

I've tried every single method on the Internet and the phone won't go to the android recovery mode .. I should have got a Google phone there, gps works

Well finally I got it into recovery and the method was first plug it into a Windows pc then whilst the phone is powered off hold the volume up key and power button . After the knox part of the boot up appears let go of the buttons and it's in recovery a few seconds later. If this hasn't fixed the GPS then it's goodbye samsung and hello pixel 7 pro

After an update (particularly a major one)  it is advisable to wipe the cache partition and also Repair apps from the same Recovery Menu. (need to connect to computer or plug in USB C Headphones)  Ensure that the App stores are also updated. However it is not that uncommon for some customers to experience increased Battery Drain as the Ai relearns your usage patterns.  It should settle in due course.

If continued issues though it may be necessary to factory reset your Device (know some Members will find this a bit of a pain mind you), ensure Data  is backed up before performing the step.

I do not work for Samsung or make Samsung Products but provide independent advice and valuable contributions.

It is a pain because all the banking apps need to be verified by the banks etc. The gps has never worked correctly on this phone. I've been waiting for android 13 so there would be a fix, let's hope it worked as the phone was 1k and I would expect it to work better than a Motorola 7

On S22 the same problems. After the last update, the battery is being drained soo heavily. 6h and the phone is dead(previously it was around 12h, still it is far away from what diffrent vendors can offer), in my opinion, it is one big mistake. Guys, we talk about the flagship models and what we got is poor quality. 

What can we expect the solution for battery drained issue? #samsung
