Hey, can you help me figure out why my S23 FE's battery is draining so fast even when I'm not using it? It's fully charged at night, but by morning it's down to 70%! It's so annoying, and it even drains when it's just in my pocket.

Run device care. Check battery status. Use members app > support > error reports and report. If you dont get a satisfactory solution visit a Samsung care.

Meanwhile
Simple steps to save battery at the cost of sacrificing luxury
1 Enable Power saver
2 Enable performance mode light
3 Enable adaptive power saving instead of basic
4 Enable adaptive brightness
5 Disable AOD
6 Enable extra dim
7 Change display to natural
8 Screen time out to 30 secs (system default)
9 Record videos in FHD
10 Restrict gaming to HD or FHD and slower frame rate
11 Switch to dark mode
12 Disable near by device scanning
13 Disable WiFi scanning
14 If 5G is unavailable change network to LTE/3G/2G
15 Allow the battery to drain completely and recharge,say once a month.
16 Enable auto restart
17 Run device care
18 Disable apps running in background.
19 Disable RAMplus if you dont use memory intensive apps and do heavy multi tasking. Available RAM usually around 2 to 3 Gb is more than sufficient for normal tasks.
20 Uninstall bloat ware that came with your phone,eg. Spotify,LinkedIn etc.

You can mix match the steps above and arrive at a usage based on your needs.

Yo, that's super annoying! 😤 Your S23 FE shouldn't be draining that much overnight, especially if it's just chilling in your pocket. Here’s what might be going on:

Background Apps: Samsung loves to have apps running in the background, even if you're not using them. Some apps are notorious for chewing up battery when left unchecked. You can check which apps are draining your battery by going to Settings > Battery and Device Care > Battery > Battery Usage.

App Permissions: Certain apps, like social media or weather apps, can keep running in the background and use your battery. Turn off any unnecessary background activity for apps in Settings > Apps > [App Name] > Battery > Background activity.

Location Services: If you have location services turned on all the time, it’s gonna drain your battery. Try disabling Location or set it to “While using the app” instead of “Always” for apps that don’t need constant tracking.

Software Updates: Sometimes, a recent update can mess with the phone’s battery optimization. Check if you have the latest updates under Settings > Software Update. If the issue started after a recent update, maybe Samsung messed something up (typical, right?).

Screen Brightness/Always On Display: If you have that "Always On Display" feature turned on, or if your screen brightness is high, even in the dark, that can drain your battery. Disable Always On Display in Settings > Lock Screen.

Battery Calibration: Sometimes your phone’s battery stats can get out of whack. Try doing a battery calibration by letting your phone fully drain to 0%, then charging it to 100% without interruptions. This may help fix the inaccurate battery readings.

Bloatware & Syncing: Samsung loves to stuff its phones with a bunch of apps you don’t need. Disable or uninstall any apps you don’t use. Also, disable unnecessary syncing (like syncing calendars or contacts that you don't need) under Settings > Accounts and Backup.

Power Hungry Features: Check if features like 5G, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or NFC are always on, even when you don’t need them. Disable those if you’re not using them.

If nothing helps, you might want to check with Samsung, but they’ll probably just tell you to factory reset it.
