Battery drain S22

[hel22]

Hi so I got the galaxy S22 yesterday and the battery is draining like crazy!! Even while not in use it went down 5% in an hour. I have the October security patch ready for download, should I risk it? Will it make the battery worse? How can one use a phone like that!! And for this u pay a crazy amount of money!!! 

So should I download the update? 

Any other fix besides not using my phone 😛

You only got it yesterday? Little bit of patience then as the battery life will improve. And install latest update

Really? battery might improve with time? I never had that experience with some of my other terrible battery phones (iPhone 7)

@hel22 As @Tourbillon De La Vie hinted at, it will take a few days for your battery to learn your usage so it is perfectly normal for your phone to initially drain the battery quickly.

If the issue persists, get back in touch and we can help you further with this.

5% is nothing to lose, you do realise a lot of apps are running in the background even throu you might feel is doing nothing just siting there. One of the worse apps is Google maps as it tracks every movement you make and takes up battery usage.

It just lost 11% in one hour. That's a lot no? 

[Tourbillon De La Vie]

While actively using it then 11% is not that much, no. Usage on mine goes between 15-20% under heavy use

I have the S22 and there is no draining it may be a app in your device even if the phone does not show but it may be with the software

How can I know that? BTW many users complain about this battery issue so it's Def a Samsung issue

Go to settings (battery device and care) and if the battery comes up red then theres a high use battery app if not the something else can cause it
