Question Improved battery life with OneUI 5.1 Mar'23 security patch

[TheMystic]

Are you seeing improved battery life with OneUI 5.1 Mar'23 security patch?

I'm seeing a good improvement, although it is just one charge cycle since the update.

My SOT crossed 7 hours after a very long time.

Snapdragon variant here. I'm in March security patch. Stock One UI 5.1. Battery saver disabled. My phone is telling me that my battery will last two days. I think it's a good performance, probably slightly better than before One UI 5.1.

I just got my phone recently its new and battery life has been abysmal. This is on lowest brightness and indoor use with wifi. And some light usage on data.

Are you on the Mar'23 Android Security Patch?

I see an app called 'Boost'. Uninstall all that junk first.

Boost is a reddit app. Isn't some app booster. And yes im on march patch

Didn't know that. Thanks for clarifying.

I'm noticing some improvements in battery life since the Mar'23 update. I get about 5 hours SOT and 12 hours standby on average (mostly on WiFi).

Display resolution is FHD+ (don't use QHD because there isn't much content at that resolution) and refresh rate is Adaptive. Location remains OFF most of the time. Bluetooth ON and connected to my watch. I have turned OFF Adaptive Battery as well as RAM Plus.

How are your settings?

 

[Takashibullet]

QHD, Adaptive refresh rate, Location is On, No ram plus, no BT, Most use is on wifi, 5g band disabled, UWB also disabled. Idle drain is still quite bad

Same here.

This is a problem with my phone too, although it is somewhat better now. My battery loses about 1.5% per hour if I leave everything ON on standby.

Samsung really needs to fix the idle drain honestly. My old phone used like 1-2% overnight without wifi practically no idle drain. I wish they add the light performance profile found on s23 ultra.

Yeah, waiting for it. But i don't know how that is different from the existing 'Optimised' profile.

If I turn OFF all smart features, then the idle drain reduces to 0.5% per hour.
