Samsung One UI 9 Update is Destroying Battery Life on S26, S25 & S24 Series Devices. How to Fix. · eSIM STUDIOS Podcast - Tech News + Reviews

  Did One UI 9 mess up your device? Well, it looks
• 0:05
  like I'm not the only one. So One UI 9 just started
• 0:21
  rolling out to Samsung Galaxy devices such as
• 0:25
  the S26 series. Last month, this month, you're
• 0:29
  seeing a bundle of Galaxy devices, the S25 series,
• 0:34
  S24 series, Flip 7, Fold 7. A bunch of devices
• 0:38
  are getting upgraded to One UI 9 .0, which is
• 0:42
  Android 17, mainly because the Google Books are
• 0:45
  now available, and those don't work well with
• 0:48
  devices not on Android 17. I made a prediction
• 0:53
  last week that I think this One UI 9 .0 was rushed.
• 0:59
  And they rushed to put it out, push it out. Because
• 1:01
  ever since upgrading to Samsung One UI 9 .0,
• 1:06
  my phone's been jacked up. I'm seeing a lot of
• 1:10
  stuttering, a lot of jankiness. It's not as buttery
• 1:13
  smooth. It's just... I have problems every now
• 1:17
  and then, a couple of times where the device
• 1:20
  froze up on me and I literally had to hold down
• 1:23
  the power button and force reboot it. I'm not
• 1:25
  really excited about this One UI 9. And I put
• 1:29
  that out there last week on one of my videos
• 1:31
  and everybody else said, no, mine's fine. Well,
• 1:34
  as time has gone on and as Samsung pushes this
• 1:37
  update to more and more users, it looks like
• 1:40
  more and more people are starting to have issues
• 1:42
  with One UI 9. There are a ton of Galaxy S24
• 1:47
  and S25 owners saying that Samsung's latest One
• 1:52
  UI 9 .0 update is wrecking their battery life.
• 1:56
  Nothing worse than bad battery life. Reports
• 2:01
  have popped up since the update started rolling
• 2:03
  out more widely. And we've spotted a few reports,
• 2:08
  some users that are getting absolute horrible.
• 2:13
  battery life. There's some users that I've seen
• 2:16
  that have their phone has died in just over five
• 2:19
  hours of usage. There's some that say they have
• 2:22
  to charge their phone three to four times per
• 2:25
  day, which is an insane number. This seems to
• 2:31
  be an oddity and not the norm. However, as more
• 2:36
  and more people update, more and more people
• 2:38
  are having problems. Just common sense, right?
• 2:41
  Now, these reports aren't widespread. I have
• 2:45
  seen, with my own eyes, probably five to six
• 2:49
  comments saying they have issues. So we're not
• 2:53
  talking half the users that upgraded to One UI
• 2:56
  9 are having problems. It may be 5 % of the users.
• 3:00
  10 % might be pushing it. But when Samsung sells
• 3:03
  millions upon millions of smartphones, 5 % to
• 3:06
  10 % can be a shitload of phones. What can you
• 3:10
  do? to battle the battery issue woes with this
• 3:15
  One UI 9 .0. Let's get to my issues. There's
• 3:19
  not really much you can do. Now, what you can
• 3:21
  do, if you have experienced stuttering, jitteriness,
• 3:26
  possibly the operating system freezing up on
• 3:29
  you like me, you're not going to want to hear
• 3:33
  this, but you're essentially going to have to
• 3:35
  factory reset your phone and try not to restore
• 3:40
  data. When you do the factory reset, try to set
• 3:45
  it up as a fresh device. I know a lot of times
• 3:48
  people factory reset their devices to try to
• 3:51
  fix issues. But when they restore that data,
• 3:54
  that app data from their last backup, well, guess
• 3:57
  what? Those corrupted files, that corrupted data
• 4:00
  is backed up. And when you load it back on your
• 4:02
  phone, some of the issues still persist. So if
• 4:06
  you do factory reset your phone, try to set it
• 4:09
  up. as a fresh brand new device i know that sucks
• 4:13
  not much you can do now when you get to the battery
• 4:15
  well i've made numerous videos in regards to
• 4:21
  battling these battery woes at the very least
• 4:28
  you can download a battery monitor application
• 4:31
  my favorite is gsam battery monitor now to take
• 4:36
  full advantage of that and that'll show you what
• 4:39
  apps or sucking your power out of the phone it'll
• 4:43
  break down in different categories it'll break
• 4:45
  down the power usage from your display your wi
• 4:48
  -fi your bluetooth your apps play services a
• 4:52
  number of things where you can see exactly how
• 4:55
  much power is going to each service and or application
• 4:58
  but if you want to take full advantage of that
• 5:01
  app you need to enable the battery stats in the
• 5:05
  settings of that app and it'll walk you through
• 5:08
  it it has easy follow steps you will need a windows
• 5:13
  computer and know how to download and or use
• 5:16
  adb but there's tons of tutorials online and
• 5:21
  or on youtube but i'm just going to put that
• 5:23
  out there it's pretty easy and i use gsm battery
• 5:26
  app now whatever application you're going to
• 5:29
  use you're going to want to enable battery stats
• 5:31
  you you can follow the same basic steps for enabling
• 5:36
  battery stats that are displayed in the gsam
• 5:39
  settings and just apply that to another battery
• 5:43
  monitoring application that's going to be step
• 5:47
  one trying to pinpoint if you have wake locks
• 5:50
  if you have an app that's uh just draining battery
• 5:54
  maybe it's the operating system itself now if
• 5:57
  that's the case you're probably going to need
• 5:59
  to do a factory reset again sucks but It is what
• 6:03
  it is until Samsung can release another security
• 6:08
  patch. So we should be getting another one here
• 6:11
  in about 10 to 14 days. So if it's absolutely
• 6:16
  unbearable, meaning that person that says they
• 6:19
  have to charge their phone to three to four times
• 6:21
  per day, you're probably going to want to factory
• 6:25
  reset your phone. If you've noticed the battery
• 6:30
  life decreasing slightly, 10, 15, possibly 20%.
• 6:34
  And you can deal with it. You can live with it.
• 6:37
  I would suggest you just wait for the next update.
• 6:41
  Samsung is aware of this. And look, if you're
• 6:46
  in Samsung's shoes, they're going to try and
• 6:48
  solve this, right? They don't want this on their
• 6:50
  record. They don't want their customers to be
• 6:52
  dissatisfied. And they have fixed similar issues
• 6:56
  in the past. Just a year ago, when I had the
• 7:00
  S25 Ultra, had gotten an update i think it was
• 7:03
  one ui 8 .0 was it one ui it was so bad it wrecked
• 7:08
  my battery life actually it was beta that was
• 7:11
  my dumb ass fault for getting in the beta program
• 7:13
  it wrecked my battery life i'm talking from from
• 7:16
  100 to 0 in literally a few hours it was the
• 7:21
  worst i've ever experienced but factory reset
• 7:25
  it or wait for an update now hopefully when you
• 7:30
  wait for that update when it does arrive hopefully
• 7:32
  it fixes your issues if it doesn't well you might
• 7:36
  want to factory reset it but before you do that
• 7:38
  make sure you do all of the prerequisites try
• 7:41
  to do everything you can last resort being a
• 7:43
  factory reset make sure all your applications
• 7:47
  are updated make sure all your system services
• 7:51
  are updated make sure all of your gallery your
• 7:55
  galaxy app store applications are updated and
• 8:00
  restart your device at least once per day to
• 8:05
  clean out all that junk random access memory
• 8:08
  i'm going to put a couple of links down below
• 8:11
  in the video description that can possibly help
• 8:14
  you especially if you download that g -sam battery
• 8:17
  application of what you can do to kind of walk
• 8:21
  you through self -diagnose the bad battery life
• 8:24
  on your samsung phone and if you have any questions
• 8:28
  whatsoever Leave a comment. I'll be more than
• 8:30
  happy to assist you with whatever you need. Peace.
