Notice yes. Just got my phone a month ago. Came refurbished from some funky place. Old software version, but what do I care. Battery life about 2 days. 9 software updates later, battery doesn't even last one day.
Maybe it's AT&T's network monitoring tool they use at the cost of their customers, bad bloatware or maybe Samsung/Qualcomm screwing me over, but it seemed like it all started about the same time to network logo changed to 5G wannabe. I had a software update almost every second day for 2 weeks, but definitely there has been a difference.
I got this phone thinking my S7 was power hungry - that one was also much better on old software's. Now it's the same sh*t.

Does anyone notice a battery draining from those monthly updates because my phone started having that problem when I update to June. If someone has fix on this please tell me/us

Small Conversation from Reddit that has same problem with me - https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS9/comments/c4di2o/battery_june/


Do you have a SD Card inside your S9?
When you have one take it out and use your phone 1 - 2 days and look if it's better (highly recommended to test this).

When your Device care shows that Google play services takes a lot of battery, then you should try that out:
- Deactivate Google Play service

- Delete your Google Account in "Settings"->"Accounts" then you can log it back in

-Activate Google Play services


- Restart your S9




- deactivate "Search for nearby devices"in "settings" -> "connections" -> "further connection settings"

- Turn off "Location"(GPS) when you don't need it

(- When you have the google find my device app take its admin rights and delete it)

(-When you have Facebook and Messenger delete them and download their lite version)

-Delete Samsung Health when you don't need it

- Deactivate Auto Update in Galaxy Apps (store) and in Google Play Store

- Activate "save medium energy' in "settings"-> "device care"

-Set your Display resolution to FHD+

- Deactivate adaptive brightness and use your s9 with low brightness

- Use Mobile Data only if necessary

- Delete Apps that you don't need that much



Do this only if you have very similar Battery life like in this screenshot (Where Screen on time is only 1 hour)


I've done this all and now I have 4Hours SOT instead of 1.5 hours.

I hope I could help those with battery life problems.
