S25 ultra heating and battery draining very fast

[Jannatlopa]

After the February patch update, suddenly my s25 ultra is heating too much and battery draining too fast.  the battery is draining quickly even when I am not using it. Any one else facing the same issue? Any suggestions to improve the situation? even my battery usage is not showing any unusual usage.

Hello 👋 and Welcome to the Samsung Community Forum. 

I've not experienced this on my phone but that can because we all set up our phone's differently, and use different apps ,and use the phone's differently @Jannatlopa 

Perhaps try >

• Clear Cache Files from the phone's System Partition Section  > https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-do-i-clear-the-cache-on-my-device/ You may need to insert your earphones or hook upto a powered On Laptop or use a Tv's USB Port or a usb-c to usb-c phone to phone set up to access the Clear Partition Section. This may help with lag or stutters as this clears the phone of old/unused or broken cache files.There is also a Repair Apps option in the Menu System too { Possibly excluding the s²⁴ Series of phone's } 
• Https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-to-start-my-galaxy-device-in-safe-mode/ 
• Optimisation tool in the Device Care section. 

May I suggest to perform a forum search as you may find already existing threads with help and advice within. 

And try this " in phone dialer you can type *#9900# then scroll down until you see batterystats reset press on that and see if helps. "

" the auto blocker must be turned off " for this code to work.

Fully disable digital wellbeing, it doesn't actually show in the battery usage but its constantly running in the background 24/7 and tracks all your usage activity. Unless you actually use the data from it, it pointless.

You could try switching the processor to light mode rather than standard, it wont have any affect everyday basic tasks such as facebook and internet browsing, etc.


If you dont mind dark mode it uses a lot less battery while the phone is in use.


Any apps you dont use very often put them into deep sleep. You can still use them whenever but they wont do anything in the background which is fine if you're not expecting constant updates or notifcations from the app.

Use a low brightness on AOD, visible but not in your face bright. This will also protect the Amoled from any burn in happening down the line.

Thank you for suggestions. But the device os draining very unusually. it's like draining 1% every 2-3 minutes. I am using it now on power save mode. but still draining. the area besides camera are getting hot even when I am not using it. very much frustrating. During writing this comment I just lost 2% charge.

Reboot it and see if it gets resolved

[Jannatlopa]

I have already done it. no improvement.

So when you bought the device was it like this or did it happen afterwards if not then it's faulty if your within your 14days cooling off period you should exchange it if not then contact samsung and send it off to repair

[moe192]

Have you checked the battery health if its faulty or healthy?

I am in USA, updated my phone 45 mins ago. Facing same issue. 

Without using anything battery dropped from 80 to 64% in just 45 mins.

Restrted the phone 2 times. But no improvement. It fell 2% just while reporting this.

Yes ive had the same issue. Roughly 180% drained with 9hrs SOT during the first day after the update, where I would usually be getting 90-100% drain for 9hrs SOT previously.
