I can confirm with my s24 ultra which I've done everything to protect my battery  not a heavy user also when I swich performance profiles the phone doesn't make you reset not sure if that's a new thing or just one you i7 I can barely get a day out of it with one ui7 absolutely ridiculous feel like selling and getting a OnePlus 13

the first week after ui 7 battery slowly gets better but at first is a mess a lot of people seeing this samsung screwed this up they only care on the s 25 series and the new z 7 fold and flip.. I hope them devices get bad issues on ui 8 I hear they are getting in June. karma for samsung I hope they basically said screw s 24 series and older.. its corporate greed to make you buy newer not me im done with samcrap and copys apple features they should merge and call the company sam-ple lmao 🤣

Hi Team, M facing severe battery drain issues without doing anything on my S24plus after oneui7 update. It's draining like hell and heating too much!!! My other phone which is Iphone 12 a 4yr old device is giving me more battery life and better thermals than this new phone worth 1Lakh INR. Please roll out the update to fix it ASAP @samsung #overheating #battery drain

Yes , my battery has been draining rapidly on my S24 ultra since the update. Also my phone will randomly start playing audio from videos even when the screen is locked.  If im on any social media watching reels/videos and i scroll up it will split the usually 3 videos and start playing all 3 audios at the same time and I'll have to restart my phone to get it to stop. When I'm texting or searching the internet my keyboard will put letters in that I didn't select or it will start jumping the cursor all over the text and I'll have to restart my phone. Not only that my screen freezes all the time now. I love my Samsung products by they need to fix this ASAP! I used to be able to go all day and maybe use 30% maybe 40% max of my battery and that's using my phone a lot. Now my phone goes through 30% in 2, maybe 3 hours and im barely using it.  I had to put my phone on charge yesterday because it died in 8 hours.

Everyone keeps r3comending to clear caches,however trial and error with several people shows that does: nothing.

 

Some phones have heated up enough that cases have melted,my phone burnt my fingertips.

This is a disaster.
