Anyone else noticed their battery draining super fast after the update. It's 2:pm UK time and usually I'm on 80%. At work indont use my phone and it's gone down to 50% already? 
Any solutions ???

Did you follow the instructions exactly as I wrote?

Did you turn Auto Blocker Off first?
Are you using Samsung Phone App?

I did this just this week without issue so it does work.

I can browse the internet or just watch youtube and my S25 still starts to heat up for some reason. This after a full factory reset and clearing the cache from recovery menu, and I haven't installed anything else.

The samsung members app bug reporting is useless because they gave me solutions which barely even work (tried putting performance mode in light, only using wifi, all software is updated, nothing running in the background and whatever else).

Is my unit defective or will samsung solve this in the next update? It's quite frustating having experienced this in every samsung phone I had for years

If you think device is defective then Samsung support needs to be involved

What's the temperature you think. Care to find out? If yes then download some battery temp measurement app from Google play and post a screenshot

Yeah I did temperature testing yesterday but didn't take a screenshot. Temps shoot up to 35-40 simply watching youtube, wifi only and brightness on below half.

I'm gonna do more temperature testing tomorrow and take a screenshot.

Enable everything, measure and post a screenshot

35-40 is not bad

You can download an Good Guardians App from Samsung Store if you haven't done so. I have found the following setting to help. How long ago did you do the update?

I am currently preparing some benchmarks for a review. Last night I did some benchmarks and stress testing of the s25u that I own.

In these, I always allow the maximum heat before throttling... by using good guardians and giving it extra +2 thermal headroom.

This test attached is about as extreme as the performance can get. Wild life extreme test is rendering in 4k, is very demanding, and lasts for 20 minutes (20x1 min loop). It evaluates each loop, scores it, and shows the best and worst loop performance.

Just to say that the s25u is a powerhouse when compared to any other samsung and current phone.

My temp went up to 47 deg C maximum during this testing.

Can you test to see if it's the YouTube app causing the heat build up? I know for a fact my S25 Ultra is burning up randomly from using the YouTube app. It's obvious when it's happening as the heat can be felt from my case and I see my battery rapidly decrease. By force closing the YouTube app in the task switcher, it instantly stops, as I've confirmed this dozens of times.

Watching five minutes video make the device heated since the recent UI update (Galaxy S24). Do you have same issue?

No drain. Did you attempt any troubleshooting like wiping phone cache partition and or hard reboot the phone?
