Battery drain after One UI 6.1 update S23 Ultra

[czanek]

I'm experiencing a huge change in battery behaviour in my S23 Ultra after the One UI 6.1 update!

It's terrible! The battery life was excellent before the update, now - the phone barely survives a day, I have to charge it up during a day, it never happened before.

This has to be related to the update. I hope Samsung will fix this ASAP as this really cripples the phone!

If the fix won't happen, and some rumors turn out to be true (Samsung trying to push users to get a new gen phone) it'll be my last Samsung phone! I've paid so much money for the highest model only to have my battery life cut almost in half by a software update one year after! Insane.

After this big update this week, did Samsung reset settings, that we made, mentioned in this thread? Lige disabling the AI in many menus

Hello, after the new update of s23 fe (from one ui 6.1 to 6.1.1), I received the artificial intelligence features called galaxy Ai, what I expected was more than artificial intelligence, on the performance of the device, whether in heat management, RAM resource management , to improve optimal consumption and such things, well, I personally analyzed the phone for 1 day after the update, I felt a slight difference. On the other hand, I live in Iran and due to the filtering and restrictions that foreign companies have imposed on us, we do not have a VPN or IP changing software that knows the possibility of using artificial intelligence, so we cannot routinely use Let's use these facilities. On the other hand, the lack of support for the Persian language, which Samsung promised, is another factor that actually makes it possible to use the ability to translate text, convert text, and generally use artificial intelligence to translate and edit text (not available for Persian language). We don't have it, so whether these facilities are available or not, it doesn't make any difference to us Iranians (with artificial intelligence, we can change the IP provided that the VPN or software is turned on) to photo editing and adding and subtracting photos and a few other possibilities in Samsung. Note and a series of other features that I don't think are very important to use: on the other hand, having the VPN on itself puts a lot of extra load on the processor, which actually torments Exynos series users because of the high heat generation and Discharging the phone). I shouldn't have bothered myself too much because I have the Fe series and I shouldn't expect to feel any improvement on my S23fe with Exynos chip, but hopefully in other updates (one ui 7) a better experience in terms of stability. performance, battery management, hardware resource management, etc. thank you

Any solution to this yet? I am thinking on resetting my s23u hoping to get some extra time.

I don't think factory reset is the answer, unless it's an app or something installed causing the issue. Once reset is complete, you'll be back on the same 'update' which is perceived to be the issue. Keep sending error logs and contact support for anymore issues :).

We are watching this thread and providing feedback to the team.

Same. The phone just dies midday when I'm not even doing anything battery intensive. I always have battery saving mode on.

I am also experiencing the same issue. I purchased the Samsung Galaxy Set a few weeks ago, primarily due to its impressive battery performance. However, after the 6.1 update, the battery life has significantly deteriorated, which is quite concerning. I kindly request Samsung to address this issue promptly, as it is affecting the overall user experience. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

You say "we are watching this thread" but it's been I think over a year with no fix. 

Or faith is gone in Samsung. At this point even "if" Samsung fixes it this will be my last Samsung unless Samsung makes a public apology and compensates all of us here. 

I even opened a better business buro complaint which went nowhere. 

There were a few times it seemed my phone had been fixed but no. Drain still happening. 

How about fixing the battery usage screen and actually showing us where the drain is!
