S21 Ultra Google Play Services Battery Drain Following Android 13 UI 5.0 Update

[Ben2024]

Good afternoon

I updated to Android 13 this morning.

Since then Google Play Services has chewed 25% of the battery cycle as seen in the Battery page.

I have reset Cache, and cleared all data, the chewing persists.

Does anyone have a suggestion for me?

I have also updated all apps via the app store.

Hope I am not the only one with this issue.

It may take a few days for the phone to fully settle after the update however do run the optimisation tool in your device care section as this can help to highlight battery drain.

If absolutely necessary back up and Factory reset as a last resort @Ben2024

I hope so... it's really bad!

This phone has been so good up until now.

It is bad.

Check you app permissions for location and background Data.

Keep location only when apps used for most apps if possible.

You can also try clearing the app cache.

HI @Ben2024 Whilst you have deleted the play store's cache and Data it is also advisable to wipe the cache partition after updates by the following steps:

1. Turn off the device.
2. Connect To Computer or plug in USB-C Headphones , Press and hold the Volume Up key and then press and hold the Power key
3. When the Android logo displays, release all three keys.
4. An 'Installing system update' message will show for 30 - 60 seconds before the Android system recovery menu options appear.
5. Press the Volume down key several times to highlight wipe cache partition.
6. Press Power key to select.
7. Press the Volume down key to highlight yes, them and press the Power key to select.
8. When the wipe cache partition is complete, Reboot system now is highlighted.
9. Press the Power key to restart the device.

It is also a good idea to Repair apps from the same Recovery Menu.
