You're not alone! Many Samsung S24 series users have reported battery drain, slow charging, and heating issues after the February 2025 security patch update. This seems to be a common problem with new updates, but here are some things you can try to improve it:

Possible Reasons & Fixes:

1. Background Optimization Still Running

After an update, the system re-optimizes apps in the background, which can cause temporary battery drain.

Fix: Give it a few days (2-3) and check if the battery performance improves.

2. Reset Adaptive Battery & Optimizations

Go to Settings → Battery & device care → Battery → More battery settings.

Toggle "Adaptive battery" OFF and ON again.

Restart your phone.

3. Clear Cache Partition (Highly Effective)

Power off your phone.

Press & hold Volume Up + Power button until the Samsung logo appears.

Use volume keys to navigate to "Wipe cache partition", then press the power button to select it.

Reboot the device.

4. Check Battery Drain in Settings

Settings → Battery → Battery Usage.

If a specific app is draining battery, force stop or disable it.

5. Slow Charging Issue

Check charging speed: Enable Super Fast Charging in Battery & device care → More battery settings.

Try using a different Samsung charger & cable (if possible).

Turn off Adaptive Charging (if enabled).

6. Heating Issue Fix

Turn Off "Processing Speed" if set to Maximum (Settings → Battery → More battery settings).

Disable Always-On Display and reduce refresh rate to 60Hz (temporarily).

Avoid charging in hot environments.

If Issue Persists:

Check for another update: Sometimes Samsung releases a fix update within weeks.

Factory Reset (Last Resort): If nothing works, backup your data and do a factory reset.
