My battery life after the February 2025 update has cut the life in half, I use to take the phone off the charger at 7am and not have to plug it up till around 930pm even with heavy usage, now I have to charge my phone during the day.....
Anyone got any ideas on how to boost the battery life back up, or is this more of the planned let make the phones obsolete so they upgrade?

Hello 👋 @Truckdude239
First please use the optimisation option in your device Care section.
Then under the battery section look at what apps are using your battery and take appropriate action such as using sleep or deep sleep or remove the app if its not needed.
You can clear the phone's System Partition Cache Files Section too.
May I suggest to perform a forum search as you may find already existing threads with help and advice within.

If they don't fix this the only upgrade I'll be making is is switching to a phone that has a very distinctive logo in the shape of a fruit and a number 16.

How about a class action lawsuit?

Yes, battery life significantly reduced compared to before. Similar thing happened after an update couple of months ago and next update almost fixed that issue. Now here we go again! I put battery protection to maximum, power saving mode on, no any background apps other than whatsapp. Unused appa already in deep sleep mode. Still battery is draining so fast. With sams settings, if i charge 80% at morning, it will be around 20% remaining by evening 6-7. Now by afternoon it reaches to below 20%. Its fishy that every time there is new model on market, updates for old models ruin their performance!! Hope they fix it asap.

I finally tracked this down to the spectrum software looking to auto connect to spectrum wifi and hotshots, I went to settings connections wifi press the ... advance settings and turned off auto connect to spectrum wifi and hot spots now battery lasts from 7am to around 9pm again
