Battery killing updates

user5LiNkNBOeh — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 22:57:06 GMT

Has anybody else had an issue with updates absolutely killing the battery I've been having back-to-back updates I do one and then it throws out a new date and says I need to do another update and then another one and then another one and today when my phone was 100% charged and I was on it for maybe 5 minutes by the time I got to my car 4 hours later it was at 0%. I have a fold 5. I had no issues before the last few days

Galaxy phones have an adaptive battery feature that uses machine learning to optimize battery consumption based on your usage.

After a major software update, this feature resets and needs to relearn your usage patterns. You may notice diminished battery life for 7-14 days while this process takes place.

In the meantime, You can potentially alleviate performance issues by using Samsung’s Good Guardians.

Download the app and run its various modules. These modules optimize performance and can identify unusual behavior.

App Booster re-optimizes your apps. This should be run after an update.

Memory Guardian helps clear up device memory and boost performance.

Battery Guardian provides a variety of tools to help extend your battery life.

Hope this helps!
