Battery and display issues on my S23

[Zach009]

Hi fellow Samsung users,

I've been noticing some issues on my base S23. 

See provided screenshot:

I've been noticing this glitch or issue on my display for quite some time. It's not continuous, it happens randomly. It disappears whenever I interact with the display. 

I've also been noticing my battery has been declining. I don't like to use battery saver, but I use it when I'm out in public. Any tips on how to extend my battery? I'd like to keep the 120hz and the AOD. 

I will answer any further questions.

Thanks!

Hi Zach009,

We understand how frustrating intermittent display glitches and battery decline can be, especially when using premium features like 120Hz refresh rate and Always-On Display (AOD). Below are some troubleshooting steps and optimization tips that may help improve your device’s performance:

Display Glitch Troubleshooting

• Update Software: Ensure your device is running the latest version of One UI and Android. Software updates often include bug fixes and performance improvements.

• Safe Mode Test: Boot your device into Safe Mode to check if third-party apps are causing the issue. If the glitch disappears in Safe Mode, consider uninstalling recently added apps.

• Display Settings Reset: Navigate to Settings > Display and reset any custom settings to default. This may resolve inconsistencies.

• Clear Cache Partition: Power off your device, then boot into recovery mode and select “Wipe Cache Partition.” This can help eliminate temporary system glitches.

Battery Optimization Tips (While Keeping 120Hz and AOD)

• Enable Adaptive Battery: Go to Settings > Battery and Device Care > Battery > More Battery Settings and turn on Adaptive Battery to limit background usage.

• Use Light Performance Profile: In Settings > Battery and Device Care > Performance Profile, select “Light” to reduce system strain without disabling key features.

• Adaptive Brightness & Dark Mode: Enable Adaptive Brightness and switch to Dark Mode to reduce power consumption.

• App Sleep Settings: Put unused apps to sleep via Settings > Battery > Background Usage Limits.

• Disable Background Scanning: Turn off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Nearby Device scanning when not needed.

• Screen Timeout & Resolution: Reduce screen timeout and consider lowering screen resolution slightly while maintaining 120Hz.

We hope these steps help improve your experience. If the display issue persists, we recommend visiting a Samsung Service Center for a diagnostic review.
