May 2025 Update is horrid UI 7 - Battery life destroyed

[LizCB]

I hate the new update on my phone~!  The battery life is half of what it used to be.  
I'm vision impaired and the new icons are not user friendly.  It's extremely difficult to see the remaining batter percentage now. 
I have no idea why they updated it this way but I hate it.  I would like to find a work around to the display and figure out what exactly is draining my battery now.

Hi! Welcome to the Samsung Members community!

This has been posted about 20 times today—be sure to check the forums. Plenty of tips and troubleshooting regarding the battery are available. *and various other tips for ui7

Look at the comments.

Sadly, the battery icon cannot be changed. What you can do is add a widget to the lock screen that shows the battery bigger. Hold down on the lock screen and add the battery widget.

*note- this is a forum for customers to customers. To submit feedback go to samsung members app- support- feedback

Thank you for suggesting the widget. I'll try that.

Don't ask on here they will tell you so much bs its unreal dial a code to fix your battery clear cache. Just a load of nonsense only fix is coming from Samsung, not the wanna be Samsung employees

I see where you're coming from. These are suggestions, hopefully helpful. There have been so many reports that I'm becoming suspicious. I wouldn't call these ideas a "solution"—more like what's worked in the past and helped some, so worth suggesting anyway, given the public's limited ability.

Youre absolutely right! Nobody here works for samsung and I would like to hope nobody is trying to give that impression...this is why I made sure to add the last comment of leaving feedback to samsung- as then the devs get to see

Lol and I here I need ONE UI 7.1

Why are you on here then?

This is a Customer to Customer forum where people give up their time voluntarily for no financial gain to help others.

I find it quite rude to hear someone like you refer to "wannabe Samsung employees".

[-Robot-]

I actually don't want to be a Samsung Employee, justsayin

This update has totally destroyed everything on my phone! I will NEVER get another Samsung!!! I will make the switch to iphone when I'm ready, something I swore I'd never do. This update has ruined every app on my phone! I can't do anything with it!!! 

Shame on you, Samsung, for allowing this!!!!!!!

I fully agree!! I never asked for this "update". My Samsung worked fine before this. Now it's just a very expensive paperweight!! I lost WiFi and Google. Also the new interface is extremely difficult and unfriendly for visually impaired people!!
