Battery Draining After a Recent Software Update? Here's What You Can Do
🧠 Why Battery Drains After Updates
After an update, your phone goes through a post-update optimisation process, which includes:
App re-indexing and background data syncing
System reconfiguration based on new features
Re-learning your usage patterns for smarter battery management
This process can cause temporary battery drain for 1–3 days.
✅ Tips to Fix or Reduce Battery Drain
1. Restart Your Device
A simple reboot clears temporary bugs or background tasks that may be stuck post-update.
2. Check Battery Usage
[Settings] > [Battery] > [Battery Usage]
Identify apps using abnormal battery and force stop or uninstall them if needed.
3. Update All Apps
Outdated apps may not be optimised for the new software version.
Go to [App Market] or [Play Store] > Update All
4. Clear App Cache (Optional)
[Settings] > [About Phone] > [Storage] > [Clean Storage] or use [Phone Manager] > Clean Up Storage
This removes leftover files from old system versions that may slow things down.
5. Enable Power Saving Mode
[Settings] > [Battery] > [Power Saving Mode]
This limits background activity to preserve battery.
6. Disable Unused Features
Turn off 5G, Bluetooth, Hotspot, and GPS when not needed.
⏳ When to Expect Normal Battery Life
In most cases, battery performance stabilises within 2–4 days of regular use after a system update.
