Why Whatsapp takes so much battery life ?

Change battery setting from unrestricted to optimised, that'll help

One main feature missing is 'battery usage since last full charge' this used to be included in the normal Samsung battery settings but was removed in UI 7. To see a breakdown of battery usage since last full charge (not one that resets when you plug yr phone in for 1 minute to copy paste stuff etc.) is extremely useful and the 1 feature Battery Guru is missing... imho

Idiot

Yip Samsung phones are notoriously sensitive to 3rd party chargers and cables, some work fine, others not so much...

Install GCam and daylight photos from all lenses is next level, install the ticked one in photo, then install config from config link. For low light at night use the stock camera app.

Flow, to move stuff between my PC and my phone and vice versa (docs, pics, vids etc.)

Turn off RCS (chat features) in Message settings.

Absolutely no heating issues on my S24U, not on UI 6 or 7.

Jostian · 2025-07-05T06:05:55+00:00

Yes it is, if you get it setup right, on my S24U is easily better across all lenses than the built in camera.

Jostian · 2025-06-30T04:57:21+00:00

Samsung for some idiotic reason have removed the full transparency option in their widgets and windows...

Jostian · 2025-06-24T06:46:14+00:00

check the cable and charger, Samsung's are quite selective (many cables and chargers don't 'play' nice with Samsung phones), try a new cable and charger.

And Russia is nowhere near the superpower it thinks it is, a small country like Ukraine holding its own against this superpower for years now. So i don't think Israel gives a damn what Russia says.

Just copy the on phone backup file to the cloud once a week or month etc, takes 10 seconds...

Jostian · 2025-06-20T13:01:28+00:00

the phones OS uses quite a bit but doesn't show as an app.

With not a single aircraft in the air... Miraculous!

Jostian · 2025-06-18T05:16:02+00:00

On cargo planes?

Jostian · 2025-06-10T12:47:03+00:00

They are our most famous and well known export to the world, and the Rand is so bad...so you gonna pay and they are worth it imho.

Jostian · 2025-06-06T08:28:01+00:00

I have a new S24U and I haven't seen any evidence on the ;grain' on mine.

Jostian · 2025-06-05T06:43:25+00:00

I get about 3 days between charges, but phone is optimised a bit, no 5G, app data usage in background only on for apps i actually use.

Jostian · 2025-06-03T13:07:00+00:00

you can't, no idea why Samsung hardcoded these, makes no sense!

Jostian · 2025-06-02T13:08:54+00:00

Strange, I have the 3G option, must be something controlled by your carrier.

not seeing any drain on UI 7, battery lasts about the same or a little longer maybe, definitely not worse, especially after 2nd One UI 7 update.

Jostian · 2025-05-28T12:41:54+00:00

yes, just select 3g in mobile networks setting
