Battery draining faster after software update

[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

So been trying to find the source of the problem, one possibility  is that the problem may be in the problematic "Digital wellbeing" app which cannot be uninstalled or kicked out.

The app gives itself unrestricted access to data,and this data usage spikes whenever the phone is overheating.

This leads me to believe this is 100% spyware.

We're almost 3 months after the first reports regarding this MAJOR battery/heat issue linked to ONE UI 7 upgrade and yet, Samsung said nothing so they cleary don't care at all about their (too) many customers affected by this issue and are patiently waiting that we said nothing anymore... 

It's so crazy & ridiculous to think that we will just accept that our phone will not work properly anymore and be OK with it!

Samsung you took months to build, test & deploy this upgrade and despite that, it's a complete  nightmare!!  Shame on you for that and doing nothing to help your customers.

On my side, i'm waiting to see if ONE UI 8 will finally fix this issue and if not, despite the fact i was suppose to keep my S24 for many years, i will get rid of it and NEVER buy a Samsung phone again.

Is there any fix to this issue. I was getting 5-6 hours of screen on time of 80% charge (my battery limiter). Now I am getting around 3-4 hours after the update.

Same for me, battery is now awful after update...

Back to Apple I go.

624 messages is a ***** lot, anyway not 100% how it got fixed for me, but I turned off power saving and battery protect and then (accidently) let it drain to 0, i then let my phone charge to 100 (and more possibly), presumably completely filling it up and it seems to have recalibrated itself. Now my battery is quite literally excellent.
