Samsung recently rolled out another OTA update which was supposed to bring along a few bug fixes; however, it turns out that the latest update unintentionally brought a bug which is causing rapid battery drain on some devices.
If you spot an app draining the battery, simply tap on the application and then toggle on the Put app to sleep option. This would prevent the app from running in the background.
While the previous update might have ruined your battery life, it would still be a wise move to check for any new update to make sure you’re on the latest version. The new update might also bring along a fix for the battery drain issue.
Recalibrating the battery is fairly simple; however, it might take up a few hours of your time.
Drain the battery of your device to 0% without charging the device in between. Once the phone powers off, charge the device back to 100% without unplugging the device. Repeat the process once again. This should help fix any battery calibration issues that might have popped up with the latest update.
Performing a factory data reset should be the last thing to do since resetting your device would completely erase all settings, apps, files, etc. from your device. We’d suggest taking a backup of all the data on the device before performing a factory data reset to avoid any data loss.
