Galaxy S22 Ultra - Battery drains very quickly

Have had my Galaxy S22 Ultra (Exynos) since launch and it's really good coming from the Pixel 6 Pro but having three issues which I'm sure are linked:

 
> Battery drains very quickly. I'd unplug it at 100% and within 10 mins of idle I've already lost one percent of my battery. SOT maximum is 3 hours so am tied to a powerbank. This is pathetic and I'm needlessly using up charge cycles. 
>Phone is hot on idle. I'd pull the phone out of my pocket where it hasn't been touched but it will hot to the touch
>Constant microlags and stutters whilst using the phone in e.g. the interface. 
 
Anyone else having these issues? I already factory reset one day after having it as thought this to ve abnormal but it's still exactly the same.

If your getting 3 hours of screen on time only then your device is 100% defective - could turn on every power saving option on the phone and it wouldn't change that fact.

I got 8 hours yesterday. 75% WiFi rest 4G. FHD 120hZ. Optimized power setting

^ for reference on what you should be getting

I don't think it is as I've had a similar issue with my Pixel 5 where I thought it was faulty as it was draining too fast and got a replacement after a week and it did the same thing. It suddenly improved a fee updates later.

This feels like software to me as the disgnosists all indicate the battery is fine. I think it's google play services as it's always top of the battery usage for any hour I look at unless I manage to outcompete it with e.g. heavy YouTube.

I did a fresh install (was coming from an iPhone 13 pro) have you tried that instead of from a backup?

Fresh install both times. The only thing imported was SMS and Call logs using SMS backup and restore.

well this doesnt help since the SD versions have no issues. Its an issue with the crappy Exynos chip. It is an well know issue with the Exynos which are inferior to the Snapdragon. Nothing helped and even the latest update didnt fixed anything.

I reset the phone and restored from Samsung cloud instead of smart switch. Big difference Screenshot_20220305-125649_Geekbench 5_62_1646485009.jpg

I think I might have fixed it following a post elsewhere about the S21.

Went to settings > about phone > software information > click on Google play system update. I was on the February update but clicked on check updates and it brought up a 74kB update. Cleared play services cache and rebooted.

Unplugged at 100% and lost 4% over 8 hours sleep and system settings predicted 1 d 19 hours when I woke up based on idle. Using it today and it does seem a lot better but potentially a fix.

I'm trying the Google play system update to see if this helps.

Had S22 ultra a week and I'm really disappointed with the battery life
