Yesterday morning, I updated my phone to One UI 6.1. Finally, got to experience the new battery protection. I selected Basic, which the expected behaviour is that the phone should stop charging once it reaches 100% and gradually discharges until 95%, then the charging will start again.
But I have tried with 3 charges already. With the Basic selection, my phone will remain charged at 100% and charging doesn't stop.
Looks like this feature is not optimised for older models. I am wondering if this feature is working for newer models like S24 or S23 series, or even for Z Fold 5? Appreciate if you could share your experiences. Thanks. 😊
Same.. but the only way that u can tell that Basic protection is actually working, by turning off protect battery feature while charging at 100%, it will show fully charged with green battery icon. Then u turn on basic battery protection and u will see the fully charged with green battery icon will change to 100% with white battery icon.
But we both know that the 100% will never drop to 99% and has never dropped to 99% before. As opposed to the expected behaviour of battery charging should stop charging once it turns 100% and charge again if the battery drops to 95% while the phone is still plugged on to the charger.
Basic and adaptive battery protection not working. S25 Ultra. Original Samsung charger and cable. Feb 2025 UI update. Device Care app cache cleared. Cache partition wiped.
It seems that it won't drop below 100% no matter what. Not sure why they advertised as charging will stop completely at 100% and resume charging again when it drops to 95%. So far, it has never happened for me.
