[popmaster109]

Hello has anyone else experience faster battery drainage after updating one UI 7 on your S24 ultra and if you have experience the same thing has anyone been able to sort out the issue and if yes what have you done

• Didn't work on my S22. Still horrible drain on my battery. Why hasnt Samsung helped us out!

No it won't...the problem is with the software and not with the phone ....until we get another update, this problem will be there

Hi @Islamabaduk ,

Leaving these official battery-saving tip links in addition to the advice already given:

• https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/tips-to-make-the-most-out-of-your-galaxy-phones-ba... 
• https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/galaxy-battery/optimisation/ 
• https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-can-i-optimise-and-extend-the-battery-life-on-... 

If an issue is happening immediately after an update it's also a good idea to make sure all of the apps are up to date too, and possibly to carry out a 'wipe cache partition' to clear out any clutter:

1. Power off your device, and wait for your device to turn off completely;
2. Plug-in a USB-C data cable connected to your PC;
3. Press Volume Up + Power buttons for a few seconds, and the device will boot into Recovery mode;
4. Use the Volume Up and Down button to navigate through the menu, and the Power button to select & confirm an option;
5. Navigate to 'Wipe cache partition' , select & confirm it, and follow the step it advises;
6. Navigate to ‘Reboot system now’ and select it. Your device will reboot as normal.

If none of these tips work, and the issue persists over time and after any expected adaptation/learning period of the new software, you can always get in touch with your local Samsung Support (https://www.samsung.com/uk/function/ipredirection/ipredirectionLocalList/ ) for advice on further steps e.g. sending an error report with log files via the Members app or having your device inspected by a Samsung Support Centre technician.

I have an S24 Ultra. I have wiped the device to factory and then reinstalled manually all the apps.
It did not make any change.
Battery drain is very fast. The back of the device is always warm because of the power consumption.

Fast recharge does not work properly either. Takes ages to recharge.
Actually while installing the programs, although the device was connected to an original Samsung loader, the power consumption was so high, that the battery indication was going backwards.

One would expect Samsung to test big updates properly, instead of using customers of very expensive devices as beta testers.

Ive not said anything. I just told you what they meant

This is insane. S24 Ultra user here. Overheating is crazy. After the update to One UI7, the upper left corner from the back of the phone gets hot sometimes (after charging or after some light random apps like camera or youtube). It then overheats and drops the brightness. The interface is unstable. My phone often freezes, especially if I type something in the menu or in some of the apps. I opened my camera today and the image on the screen was twiching instead of moving smoothly. This is really bad, guys, this update. Samsung, how come? You delayed the update, you worked on it for more than a year and the flagship device now feels like a 100$ budget phone. I mean, ok, there can be some performance glitches after a new update, but not SO MANY!

Estoy igual, con eata actualización tengo que andar con el cargador a todo lado porque la batería dura como máximo 5 hr. Y el teléfono es relativamente nuevo, lo tengo hace menos de 6 meses...

Have someone any fix or any news, when they gonna fix this problem after new update?!

1. Turn off Auto Blocker

Using the Samsung Phone App (not the Google one)

Dial *#9900# then scroll down to battery stats reset. Click then restart your phone.

Turn Auto Blocker back on
