After this UI 9 update on my S24, it's losing battery life way faster than on UI 8.5. Please consider this and all the other battery life complaints on the next, hopefully soon update. Also, get rid of that stupid leading 0 in the regular clock on the lock screen! It's not a 24 hour clock, so put that back to what it was before, there's no need for the 0 there!

      Galaxy phones have an adaptive battery feature that uses machine learning to optimize battery consumption based on your usage.

      After a major software update, this feature resets and needs to relearn your usage patterns. You may notice diminished battery life for 7-14 days while this process takes place.

      In the meantime, You can potentially alleviate performance issues by using Samsung’s Good Guardians.

      Download the app and run its various modules. These modules optimize performance and can identify unusual behavior.

      Download Good Guardians here: https://apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.android.samsung.utilityapp

      App Booster re-optimizes your apps. This should be run after an update.

      Memory Guardian helps clear up device memory and boost performance.

      Battery Guardian provides a variety of tools to help extend your battery life.

      Hope this helps!

      The leading 0 currently cannot be disabled in the centered clock styles. You can choose a different style or create your own using the Clockface Good Lock module. You will need to visit the support tab and submit feedback to reach someone at Samsung and make feature requests.

      Same. My phone is draining 40% faster since the UI9 update I calculated. Same usage. It is also taking twice as long to charge now. 

      There should be a major WARNING on these updates. Hope there is a patch, soon, to fix this mess.
