Disappointing battery drain, again!

My one (1) year old A54 was charged to 80%, and taken of the charger when I went to bed.
I picked up the phone when I woke up at about 7am today and charge was about 70%. I used a little duolingo and YouTube, total just over 1 hours. Now it is 11.30, and my battery is at 23%.

How can my, 1 year old phone just last only a quarter of the day of use?

Checking the battery usage, Contacts Storage, a basic background process/app, took >10% of my battery charge. I don't even know if this is the main culprit. 

Not the first time I had raised battery drain issues. Threes after getting my A54, the drain was crazy even when left idle. Hence I had switched off, disabled, uninstall nearly all the Samsung automation, and at least I could get through to the evening. Note it is only till evening, not night! 

I resigned that my battery drain issues might be causes by network issues and the A Series will never be as good as the S Series. However reading around, the S series also suffers from unexplained battery drain. 

I'm envious of my wife's realme XT (4.5 years old) can still function from morning till bed time on a charge. Sigh. It will be three more years before my planned phone change. If by then Samsung does little to nothing to restore my confidence, I'll not entertain any future Samsung devices.

After you scan, can you reduce virus checkups to protect your apps installed , and you can do some references which one apps put in sleep good for you to uninstall. So your battery capacity gonna be 👍 1718544888453.jpg

Thanks for the tips. Yes, I had already resolved to uninstalling any app I don't use frequently with some hope of reducing battery drain. With my previous phones I only needed to do this when I start to run out of space after about 3 years of usage, not after just one month of use.

Anyhow, my recent gripe with my A54 is the basic background process "Contacts Storage" that is draining my battery. Storing contacts should never be a concern when using the phone, and certainly not cause any battery drain!

Same thing today, the Contacts Storage app used 11% of my battery during the day time.
It showed that 2.5 hours of CPU usage. 1718636456075.jpg

Keeping a record here of the Contacts Storage background process
Today, from 6am to 7pm, this process used 13.5% of my battery, taking 2.5 hours of CPU time.
Now I begin to wonder if this may also be the reason why my phone does not appear to be responsive.

Does anyone from Samsung read these support thread? I have submitted a feedback/help request on Sunday, and this is my duplicate attempt to get some help.

Selamat pagi. Uninstall apps yang tidak digunakan akan lebih menyejukkan smartphone kita (yang saya terangkan deep in sleep) . Saya sekarang lebih peka biar sampai habis bateri...around 5 minutes do check up device care . Scan and check the notifications background on. Ambil masa 5 minit cukup bergantung kepada apps apa yang kita install. Jika kita tak sempat sekalipun system running automatically. Sampai dia off sendiri so bila kita tahu CPU sudah ada problems itulah yang saya maksudkan pihak ke3 yang telah dilantik join together with SamsungLtd in our single gadgets

Dari apa yang saya nampak 6 perkongsian penggunaan WiFi
Security Max VPN data saver tak on
Ini cepat habis mesti kerap guna sambil cas
So jangka hayat bateri memang akan cepat jatuh
Contoh awak tinggal bateri tu 10% awaj cas sambil menggunakan smartphone tersebut memang no meaning la
Dia akan drop seolah dia masuk tetapi dihabiskan oleh kegunaan yang lain2 contoh sambil awak main game @ power bank pun menjadi salah satu penyebab yang boleh turunkan kapasiti asal bateri tersebut
