Galaxy S24 Battery Drain

GitDatPC — Wed, 28 Feb 2024 19:13:28 GMT

Always On Display drains nearly 2% of battery per hour on my S24 Ultra. This is much higher than the S23 Ultra. Hopefully this will be fixed in an update?

Remember the full screen AOD lights more pixels then the older AOD. If you want to return to the lower power AOD, you can do so by going to
Settings > Lock screen > Always On Display > then setting the style (settings navigation attached, but can't show style options since my phone doesn't have it).

Hope this helps 🙂

Mine seems to drain fairly quick as well. I just turned off the wallpaper on AOD to see if the helps.

I tried that, but it didn't help. I just deselected the show music option, but I doubt that will do anything either.

My S24 Ultra's battery drains very quickly without even the AOD on. The SOT is like 6 hours and the phone dies. I only use common social media apps and music apps. This has gotta be an issue.

S24 Ultra battery draining...

I am experiencing a rapid depletion of my battery's charge, despite minimal screen time and a maximum usage of only 1.2%.

Yeah my battery drains pretty quickly too. I noticed this the first day I had it I went out somewhere that didn't have the best signal. I was there for 6 hours and by the time I got home my phone was 20%. If I am home and on Wi-Fi though the battery is of course great.

I've barely used my phone today, yet it felt kinda warm in my pocket earlier this morning. 🤨 Just took it out and it's at 60% battery, which is weird. 🤔 I do have the highest resolution and 120Hz refresh rate turned on, and my S22 Ultra had better battery life with the same settings. I don't use adaptive brightness, so it stays pretty low all the time. I also have auto AoD active, so the display shouldn't even be on while it's in my pocket.

Side note I **bleep**in love the AI writing styles 🥵

A struggling solid network connection anything that's considered a weak signal (ex. -117 dbm Mobile Network strength) results in significantly more draining on battery on mine but it's to b expected considering it's trying to get u a better signal essentially the whole time cuz it's so weak is all & the only way around that would b to not use a connection aka Data off of Airplane Mode until ur in a better coverage area that is not considered a weak signal. My ex is only what my device was approx in so the range to which a device considers a weak signal would b more appropriate in this answer just cuz it's a range not a specific number if u will. I just don't know what weak is as far as the full range. But i imagine the entire range u would wanna avoid when trying to save ur battery from draining excessively.

Also, be sure ur battery Power Save Settings are setup the way u want them to b if u choose to use this feature when it depleats to a specific percentage then turns on to save battery until its above ur designated percentage & so forth. I assume ur aware of this setting already tho. If u need help with it tho holler.

This is all assuming something else like another app etc isn't actually causing the problem on& that u ruled this cause put already k.

Mine isn't great either but Samsung batteries tend to get better after a week or so of use. I'll reserving judgement until then.

Constant rebooting, memory eating, battery draining!

dedrater88 — Mon, 29 Jan 2024 16:36:21 GMT

My partner and I each got the new S24 Ultra and each of us have had several issues; He's still functional, but I am returning mine for another unit today:

Mine rebooted itself every hour or so (even in SafeMode, and after a factory reset)
His has a massive battery drain
Both notice that the memory is being eaten up by something (always only 4-6GBs LEFT of the 12GBs)

Not sure what is going on, but I hope Samsung/Google rolls out a massive update/patch soon.

@dedrater88 Sorry that you are having these issues. A comment on the RAM usage. RAM usage should not be thought of in the same way as Storage usage. Unused RAM is a waste of resources and money. You want your apps to use RAM so that they react quickly with little delay. The only time RAM usage becomes a problem is when you have an app which wants more than what is currently free.

The sweet spot for RAM usage is anything below 80%. Looks like you are running at 6-8 GB of usage. For your device, anything below ~9.6 GB is fine and is not an issue.

Similar issues here switching from S23 to S24. Freezing during use with certain apps e.g. Ring doorbell video scrolling. Also filming with video led to sudden closure of function on a random basis. Playback on some videos taken with the device gives sound only and no moving picture. Battery does not seem to hold as much as expected. This too persisted after both safe mode and factory reset. My personal view is that it feels like device shipped before adequately road tested.

V disappointed as all the switching from old to new phone sucks up time and energy.

Yes! Your last comment was exactly what I mentioned to my partner too. It's not like a plug-and-play device.. there's always a lot of time put into it to set it back up and now I have to do it all over again 😞

I haven't had any issues with our Nest/Google Home cam, nor the normal Nest app; I didn't have the issue during film either, but then again I was on a mild setting of 1:1 @ 30fps....

Ughhh, I want to love and use the phone, but these issues are crippling. I'm hoping that by 2/1-2/2 there will be a massive update once the masses get their devices and also report all these problems.

Understood, however when I looked up what would cause the phone to constantly shut down and reboot, and running out of RAM was one of the issues, it's hard not to believe that it's not correlation but rather causation.

The same situation happened with me only in social media

Re: Re: S24 Ultra battery draining...

MLAAVISH — Mon, 29 Jan 2024 17:14:23 GMT

In the same situation, I fell under Battery Drain very quickly I took Power Bank with me and I received S24 Ultra on January 28th

I am also facing the same issue. My battery drained by 40% during the nighttime when i was sleeping. Overall, i am liking this phone other than battery drain problem.
