S23 Ultra Battery Drain After Feb Update

mickinetsystems — Mon, 19 Feb 2024 16:27:20 GMT

Ok so I am gonna say it. After the February update on the S23 Ultra, I have noticed serious battery drain. The issue is the S23 Ultra is not my main phone so I dont use it that often. Previously it could be there for 2 days before running outta juice since I dont use it that much.

Now, it doesn,t even last a day with little to no usage. After the update, Device Care informed me that MS Word was over using my battery and I uninstalled it. I don't even have much apps installed.

Something must be off with this update. Has anyone noticed same experience?

No Battery issues with my S23 Ultra since the February Security Patch OTA.

7 & a half hours on Battery. More than 2 hours of Internet usage & more than 3 & a half hours of SOT.

"The Given Link"?

Could at LEAST post a link regarding the Battery Drainage Issue, NOT a general link to Samsung Support.

This is the link you posted..

I think that you mean "Clearing Cache", or Wipe the Cache partition.

Repartition generally means to redistribute data.

Go to Settings > Battery & Scroll down to see which apps in Battery Activity are draining your battery. Put unused apps to sleep, and Restrict or Optimize the ones that are draining it.

This worked for me. I put a couple of apps to sleep and uninstalled some unused ones. Now the battery life has improved

Hi mickinetsystems, there are some rare edge cases where certain apps are not fully optimized after a software update.

As RedDogRabbit and Al-001 wrote, it is often recommended to reinstall apps that are causing problems to your battery's performance, clear the app's cache, put the app manually into sleep, or even do a wipe cache partition to reoptimize the entire device.

Should you observe an app that is causing battery drain even after a wipe cache partition or a reset, we recommend you notify the app developers regarding the issue.

Thank you for sharing with us. Thank you RedDogRabbit and Al-001 for your suggestions.

I went to settings >battery and at battery usage, I noticed some unused apps draining my battery unusually. I uninstalled those apps and my issue was fixed

The apps running in background for me are Samsung sharing and Samsung keyboard. No option to delete those.

Try clearing cache of each app. U can also wipe cache partition if u haven't done that after the update
