It's the variability from one phone to the next that's so perplexing.  Some users report they actually see better battery performance with One UI7.  It's a lottery at best.  But for those of us who see much worse battery life, there doesn't seem to be an easy fix.  I guess we're waiting for the next update.

With no apps open and nothing running, display off, I'm seeing a 10% drop in battery every hour.  If I, God forbid, actually use my phone, the batter drops precipitately.

Estoy en la misma situación con mi S24 ultra, ya no dura la batería y se pone muy caliente al usarlo continuamente, he estado leyendo que después de un tiempo se equilibra y vuelve a la normalidad, ahora tengo que llevar mi cargador a todos lados. Si No, esperemos una respuesta.

Yes! Not only does my battery drain significantly faster since upgrading to UI7, but my phone also drops off the network so frequently that Google voice, for example has become virtually unusable. This is network "flapping" occurs regardless of whether I'm using wifi or not.

Ever since I auto updated my s24 ultra to ui7 a few days ago I've experienced significantly increased battery Drain and frequent network dropoffs that occur regardless of whether I'm using wifi or not. The network dropoffs are so severe that some services, such as Google voice have become unusable.

Can anyobe help? Samsung?

Samsung directly won't see this.

First thing to do!
* Soft reboot—hold power button and volume down until restart.
—Fixed most people's issues.

Next steps
* Clear cache partition.
*settings- general- reset- network.

* Note—For the first 14 days after an update, the phone will be calibrating the battery.

*absolute final stage
Backup data via smarthings to pc, factory reset device

If all else fails contact samsung support
