UI 6.1 Issues

[ValenDigital]

Anyone else phone heating up and using MORE battery after installing the latest ui 6.1 update? And latest Aug 2024 playstore...

Done the usual like clearing cache and updating apps etc but where I was getting around 2 days and about 6-8hours of battery it's now about 1 day and 18 hours plus heats up whenever you use for lets say 5 10 mins more notably when viewing vids on YouTube or facebook/insta...

Think they may have pushed out the update too quickly without testing... oh forgot. We are the guinea pigs for testing... ma bad....

Plus, it doesn't say 6.1.1 update but just 6.1 is that normal?

UPDATE: thanks to a few good messages from members especially @Fiona26 finally got this sorted.

It was a combination of badly optimised apps (here's looking at you PayPal) and doing numerous app updates (why can't they test apps before release?!! 🤔) AND the fact that after an partition clearing and phone restart for some funny reason adaptive power saving gets turned off! My phones now only used 10% for the last 14 hours! In total it's stating around 3 day battery life! 

Superb latest update to 6.1.1 (or 6.1 as its know for s24) is very good AFTER taking steps to clear and update apps and re add any settings if they get turned off...

It wouldn't show as Ui 6.1.1, that is reserved for foldables only you'll still get the same features just wouldn't show 6.1.1 In the about phone section only Ui 6.1.

because it isn't receiving 6.1.1 Read my comment, it's for the Z series, not the S.

No not at all, I only use the app booster myself.

Thank you

No, it's an official app. We're not going to tell you to download something if it's dodgy.

Hi. Also keep checking for app updates in both Samsung and Google store.

Yes. My phone has just updated to 6.1.1 (showing as 6.1) and now will only recognise a usb c cable attached to a super fast charger. This also means that's android auto do not work anymore either. With cable in it says "connect to car to start android auto". Using all same chargers and cables since before the update

No such issues on my Ultra since the update

I've actually experienced some large improvements to battery efficiency in various apps since the latest 6.1 update. The Steam App for example use to be fairly battery intensive for a relatively simple load. It's been improved significantly from what I can see now. This applies to some other non intensive apps which use relatively mild system use.

Yes it is. But it's labelled as 6.1. It's exactly the same.
