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...

Since the update last night.  System Vibrations will not turn off or stop.. regargless of changing options.  Its terrible and wasting my battery for no reason.. rebooted, applied settings again.. no option to fix

I'm having exactly the same issue. Thought it was my charging port until reading this

Re battery performance - my a55 5g now takes about 7 hours to charge from about 10%. This used to take just over an hour. Again using same leads, adapters, wall plug

That's very unusual indeed, @mjt59. To ensure you find a solution to this, I recommend having a look at the threads on the Galaxy A Series board:

If you don't find a solution there, please create a new thread, detailing the issues you've encountered with charging your A55 and listing the steps you've tried so far.
