Hello Samsung experts, I noticed that after the latest update. My S24 battery is draining so fast. Any solution for this? Before update, my battery isn't like this. I noticed it after the new update with extra AI functionalities. 

Hoping for your respond soonest

Thank you

At the very least, Boot into Recovery & Wipe Cache. 

I, along with others, always Factory Reset after EVERY Android Version Update.

Hi RaffyRosete,

Battery drain after an update is common due to background processes or new features. Please try the below steps and see if it helps to solve the issue.

Check Battery Usage: Go to Settings > Battery and device care > Battery > Battery usage. See if any app is consuming excessive power.

Disable AI Features: If you don’t use the new AI functionalities, turn them off in Settings under relevant categories like Smart suggestions or Battery optimization.

Optimize Power Settings: Go to Settings > Battery and device care > Battery > Power saving. Enable power saving mode or Adaptive battery to help manage usage.

Clear Cache: Clear the cache partition to remove residual data from the update by booting into recovery mode and selecting Wipe cache partition.

Hold the Power button and Volume Down to open the power options where choose the Power off > When the screen goes dark press the Volume Up and Power keys together > Let go of all held buttons when you see the Recovery mode on the screen > Then you should select Wipe cache partition. Use Volume Up to navigate and the Power button to accept it > Choose Yes and press the Power key to confirm that operation > After that select Reboot system now with the Power key."

If nothing works, as a last resort please perform back up and factory data reset.

After update, try wipe cache partition on recovery mode:

- Power off your phone
- Press and hold vol up and power key until you are in recovery mode
- use vol up and down to navigate
- select Wipe Cache Partition
- press power key to confirm
- click yes
- click reboot system

Should work better.

Peak brightness not working for more than 10 minutes unless using power saving but limits to 60hz, but android 15 will drain battery even more , i hope it will be a nice design and not copy apple too much
