Anyone noticed huge Google play services battery drain on BUKG? After the update it seems to be on the top 2 drainers with more than 10% daily drain.

I just noticed that my battery drain is more fast respect One Ui 3.1.

But I have no idea of which cause that.

In every case it shouldn't be long before Samsung releases the December patches (hopefully with fixes for battery consumption and system fluency).

1. My AA is working great. Sure I have the occasional connection issues where I just need reinsert the cable - but that's just AA. Can't blame google completely - Car Manufacturer + Samsung are to blame too. And the cable..
2. No Idea. I see 3 dex app packages on my phone - a total of 7.5 MB. Not taking up space, so doesn't bother me. Dex can be handy at times. Just disable dex?

Thanks...I think I had to restart the car and the device to get AA to work properly...all's well so far.

Do you have any google account syncing? How about Google discover and the google app? Are these running too? Here's what I did...I uninstalled the google app, stopped my google account from syncing (using Samsung email for email, and Samsung cloud for contacts sync), and chose Samsung Free for the left screen...After doing this, google play services is far well behaved...

Both: one Google account and Google app (with every permission disabled. I don't want to uninstall it, because could generate FC on launcher).

How about stopping google sync? I'm sure that will reduce the play services drain...

I can't disable sync, without disable it on every account.

At the end every solution it's a palliative. Better to wait the December update, I don't think much time is missing before the release.

Damn 10% daily? That sounds bad. I'm still on BUK8 and Google services does drain the battery quite a bit, but less than that

Hope everyone is well,

Has anyone experienced any WiFi issues?
Mine keeps disconnecting or connected without internet.
It connects to the network and within a minute or two it drops and says no internet and goes to 5g.
All other devices at mine are connecting fine.

I've tried factory reset, tried resetting network, cleared cache, disabled switch to data in WiFi>advance, still no joy.
only started after BUKG update

Any ideas?

Υep, that's today with minimal usage (if you also see SOT)

 

[thanito]

That is baddd battery life. The s7/s8/s9 all perform better something ain't right

It sure ain't! Honestly, this is the worst phone I have had the past decade battery-wise.. Always concerned on whether it will get me through the day or not.

Battery usage from a note 9. It's at 25% so share your results when you reach 25% and compare them lol

 

[thanito]

Sell your S21/S21+/S21U and get the note 9 if you want great battery life 2 days usage and 6 hour screen time. I could never get that on my S21U. Maybe back in march when battery was good, but it looks like Samsung are going backwards

I'm really considering going back to my p40 pro which is patiently waiting for me in a drawer

South America still A11


If at least one OWO let it flash over odin.

Mexico MXO just pop in! Alongside República Dominicaca are the first OWO in the area

What's going on here?

Have you closed all apps and cleared RAM? My results are pretty much as good as before when I cleared running apps. Didn't need to put my phone in the fridge to vet this one either

@adamlee2012 Security patches time

Makes sense, my S10+ just got FUL1 so is on December ahead of my S21 Ultra

For the moment my prediction is still valid. 17th December it's not far by now, and the release could also happen before this date.
