Samsung s25ultra Draining Battery too much. 🔋👎

[Nitun]

My new Samsung S25 Ultra is draining battery too much due to the System server and Google Services Framework. Just watching YouTube or X, or doing regular browser searches causes my phone to get too hot and the battery to drain rapidly. Note: I haven't downloaded any third-party apps or modified my UI. It's a simple setup for my S25 Ultra. (Note: I downloaded the Thermal Guardian app from APKMirror to find out why my phone is getting hot.)

Please anyone assist me on this. 

Thank you.

I haven't been using my S25 Ultra for the past hour, so just as a reference, here is the temperature of mine. 

I don't see any issues whatsoever with the temperature. 

As far as I am concerned, it's perfectly normal.

As for the High Usage, I suspect that it's also perfectly normal depending on what you are doing with the phone.

As for the Battery.. No issues in my opinion. 

But if you have a high performance car, and you are using that performance, of course it's going to use more fuel.

Totally agree. Mine issue is different. Even though I am driving a Toyota ( FHD, Standard motion) . But gas sucking as Mercedes 😅

Hi Nitun,

We are sorry to hear that you're experiencing battery drain and overheating on your Galaxy S25 Ultra. We understand how frustrating it can be when your device isn’t performing as expected.

Please perform Clear Cache Partition. Clearing the cache partition can help resolve performance issues caused by outdated system data.

• Power off your device.
• Press and hold the Volume Up and Power buttons simultaneously.
• When the Samsung logo appears, release both buttons.
• Use the volume buttons to navigate to Wipe cache partition, then press the Power button to select.
• After the process completes, select Reboot system now.

Check which apps or services are consuming the most power: Go to Settings > Battery and device care > Battery > Usage. This will give you a breakdown of battery usage by apps.

If you notice that Google Services Framework or System Server are consuming too much battery, try the following: Settings > Apps > Google Play Services and Google Services Framework: Turn off "Allow background activity" if it’s not critical for your usage.

Disable Background Processes. Some apps might continue running in the background, which can contribute to overheating and battery drain. Settings > Apps > Running apps: Close apps that you're not actively using. 

Use Power Saving Mode. To help manage overheating and battery drain, use the Power Saving Mode: Go to Settings > Battery and device care > Battery > Power mode, and choose either Medium power saving or Maximum power saving.

It’s great that you're using Thermal Guardian to monitor the temperature of your device. If it shows consistent overheating, this might be due to specific apps. Monitor the app’s findings and try to identify any problematic processes.

If the issue persists despite trying the steps above, performing a factory reset could help eliminate any problems. Please be sure to back up your data before proceeding:

FYI, you are not alone with this battery drain and heating issue. I had the same thing. Had spoke with 6 different representatives from Samsung. Tech support got involved and connected to my device. I had lost all hope. Frustrated with the purchase, device and service. In the end I was under my 15 days warranty, I returned the device, purchase another one. Problem solved

[Nitun]

I guess i am late. I am using more then 15 days

[JMIKE]

Then, they will ask you to open a case with them and send the device for repairs.... I was advised NoT to do. Not sure, have you done a factory reset? Sometimes, it fixes the issue if it is not hardware related

[Nitun]

It's happening randomly. I'm not doing anything crazy with my phone. I have been using Samsung phones for the last 13 years. I'm not 100% sure, but I think "Now brief" is causing the heating issue. I have turned this off for the last two days. Let's see what happens. It's most likely a software issue, not a hardware one.

After this recent update my s25 Ultra is draining battery quickly. The phone now warms up even when scrolling 😥
