Hello , recently i updated my s24ultra to the latest February security patch and my battery life has decreased significantly . I used to get around 6 hrs of SOT but after the update i cant even get 4 . i know that 6 hrs is nothing but i have life 360 running and a galaxy watch 4 classic connected . Can someone help me thanks !
It sounds frustrating to see your battery life drop after the update, especially when you had things working smoothly before, @OOFXBOTKA . Since you’ve got Life360 and a Galaxy Watch 4 Classic connected, that could be drawing more power, especially after a software update, which sometimes alters how background apps behave or optimises power usage differently.
Here are a few things you could try:
- Clear Cache: After a software update, some cached data can affect performance. Try clearing the cache partition (you can find this option in recovery mode).
- Check Battery Usage: Go into your battery settings and check which apps are using the most power. Maybe one of them is behaving abnormally after the update.
- Optimise Settings: You could try optimising your settings for battery life, like turning off high-refresh-rate display or enabling power-saving modes when you’re not using the phone.
- Update apps: Make sure all your apps, including Life360 and any other relevant apps, are updated. Sometimes they need to update to be more compatible with the latest OS changes.
- Reboot: A simple restart after the update can help sometimes with clearing out processes that may be running unexpectedly in the background.
I have already applied the battery optimizations said in your reply but before the update i never saw google play services consuming that much power
