This update makes my phone drain it's battery every minute every minute, before it used to last 1 or 2 days active use, now it doesn't even last an hour, the ui all of it sucks, Samsung really needs to re think there terrible design, they need to fire all people that created this horrid trashy ui

My S23 Ultra is using battery faster since new software update 7.0

[Lauren-design703]

Hey everyone,

I recently updated my Galaxy S23 to the latest software version (April 2025 security patch), and since then I’ve noticed my battery draining a lot faster than usual even with light usage.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

• Cleared cache partition

• Turned off background app activity for most apps

• Enabled battery saver

• Reduced screen brightness and refresh rate

Despite all that, I’m barely getting 4 5 hours of screen-on time, which is a big drop from before the update.

Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? Any suggestions or fixes that worked for you? I’d really appreciate the help!

Thanks in advance 😊

Same issue. I've taken extraordinary measures far surpassing the lengths I'd go to prior to update (lie if camping. ) Before the the update my battery could have powered all of California .

Same, my battery would last well over 24 hours before the update. I'm going to be lucky if I make it through today with a full charge

I am writing to express my frustration and disappointment with the recent software update on my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. Since the update, I have noticed a significant issue with the battery, which is draining at an unacceptably fast rate. It has become so severe that I find myself needing to charge my phone multiple times a day despite minimal use.

As a loyal Samsung customer, I chose your brand because of its reputation for quality and reliability, especially in terms of battery life. This rapid drain after an update is unacceptable, and it has left me questioning whether I made the right choice in purchasing this device. In fact, I now feel as though I’m experiencing the same frustrating battery issues that I had hoped to avoid when switching from an iPhone. Ironically, this is one of the main reasons I switched to Samsung in the first place.

I request that you look into this issue promptly and provide a solution, whether it be a fix through another software update or a recommendation for further action. As it stands, this problem is significantly affecting my user experience and, frankly, has tarnished my perception of Samsung.

I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of this matter.

Thank you for your attention to this issue.

S23 ultra battery drain less than 12 hrs since August 2025 update

This new update is wreaking havoc on my phone and my anxiety! The battery life, which was great before the update, is now draining extremely fast. Any suggestions as to slowing the drain down? I have a Galaxy S23.

I am not a fan of the update. It's been causing all sorts of problems for me. 🤬
