Great, the option to disable Wi-Fi 7! Thanks friend 👍🏻

[@RADERTECH]

You're welcome, thanks for watching my friend, appreciate you.

[@indian4peace]

Simply grt ❤❤❤❤

[@RADERTECH]

Thank you so much!

[@Cryptid71]

Just so you know switching it to 1080p does not save battery. There have been several people who have done battery tests and the phone is actually built to be used on QHD so turning it to fhd actually drains more battery

[@RADERTECH]

Interesting, thanks for sharing this, I'll look into it more. Historically that hasn't been the case, I'll check it out. Thanks for stopping by.

[@tonyc9477]

Yes, I have experienced this before too!

[@crovian1985]

How would it drain more battery

[@teranyan]

@@crovian1985 the physical screen still has the same number of pixels and the hardware now needs to upscale the 1080p image to its native size. so you put more work into that. But i don't think it will consume as much energy as rendering everything at the native res.

[@Rufiowascool]

Great vid, thank you for this.

[@RADERTECH]

You're welcome, thanks for stopping by!

[@enadolgel5504]

You are thé best

[@RADERTECH]

You're too kind my friend, thank you!

[@joemammatube]

Wi-Fi 7 off! But all the other diagnostics you get with the with Connectivity Labs are amazing too! Great tips. I have tried the GPS routine. Finally got it to work with Android Auto where it turns on the GPS fast enough at the start. It's a great tip and will see how much batter gets saved as a result. A downside to this routine is that if the phone is lost, may not be able to find it without GPS and also the weather apps won't update in the background based upon your location. Probably the biggest battery saver is placing unused and apps that you don't need notifications, into deep sleep. The little rascals can't be churning in the background. Thanks again for the great video!

[@RADERTECH]

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your experience using that routine with Android Auto. I really need to get it setup in my ride.

[@alexpascu1985]

Hello, Really good video, thanks for the tips. Learned a bit more about routines, these look extremely usefull. A small observation regarding Battery protection, for the charge to only stop at 80% you actually need to chose the third option under Battery protection sub menu ( click on the name to enter the menu ) . Basic only does 95-100% slow charge , adaptive uses basic combining with sleep mode , and maximum always locks Battery charge to 80% Thank you and good luck !

[@RADERTECH]

Thanks for stopping by, and also for the info on the battery protection feature! I honestly haven't played around with it much, so thanks for your insight!

[@S1L3NT__]

Changed performance profile to LIGHT and didn't notice any slower apps opening or something... will see how long battery lasts now..

[@RADERTECH]

Awesome, hopefully it makes a little bit of a difference for you. Thanks for stopping by.

[@JoeAnderson-vz6hi]

Hi Great video. Thanks, just quick question: How are you getting nearly 2 days on a full charge on battery, but mine on a full charge is saying 16 hours

[@RADERTECH]

Thanks Joe, I appreciate it. It could be a lot of factors. I don't use AOD and I always keep it in Light Performance mode. I barely notice a performance difference when it's enabled, and it seems to help with the battery life a lot. I rarely game these days, and I keep the brightness at around the 1/3 mark indoors, and it varies a lot outdoors. Other than that, I can't really think of anything special that I'm doing.

[@mahsoomcp]

Hello, I am also experiencing the same problem. The device is heating up and the battery is draining quickly after the March update. I would like to know if this issue will be resolved in the next update. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[@RADERTECH]

It might be related. You can try to clear your cache, and also check the Battery settings to see which apps are consuming the most resources. Here's directions for clearing your cache: Turn off the device Press and hold the Side key and the Volume Up button Release the Side key when the device turns on Keep holding the Volume Up button until the device enters Reboot Mode Press the Volume Down button to select Wipe cache partition Press the Side key Press the Volume Down button to select Yes Press the Side key The device will automatically reset and reboot

[@deep2236]

You can make screen resolution change in a routine If battery goes below or during night or sleep mode or routine reduce the resolution else have it at max. Same for refresh rate. It takes the battery backup to next level.

[@RADERTECH]

Yes indeed, those are some great Routine options. Thanks for stopping by and sharing!

[@starlite3597]

but the screen is off at night anyway?

[@lizvickers7156]

Your power saving mode will only be on for about a minute if you have power saving mode set to turn off once it gets past 40%.

[@RADERTECH]

Huh? It will stay in power saving mode until the charge gets to 40 percent or above. Depends on where your battery is at. Thanks for stopping by

[@davetech356]

What's the battery widget you're using?

[@RADERTECH]

it's one of the 2 default battery widgets. You should see it listed under Battery in your default widgets. Thanks for stopping by.

[@user-wr2ko7hr5y]

Instead of install good guardian, made a routine when you put on ultra save battery mode on that schedule

[@RADERTECH]

Lots of options! Thanks for stopping by.

[@halledwardb]

Does the intelligent wifi need location services turned to automatically connect to your home network or need the faster wifi scans? Mostly I just forget and use more cell data a lot for videos.

[@RADERTECH]

No, it doesn't really on location services/GPS in any way. Thanks for stopping by.

[@JH-666]

And best tip for battery problems left list. Wipe cache allways after uppdate.

[@quadriderhonda]

Where do you go for that

[@alexpascu1985]

​@quadriderhonda do the following Power off phone Plug phone via USB to PC or Mac Hold volume up+power until you see Samsung logo Use the volume keys to go to clean Cache option Press power button to select and again to select ok (to confirm the cache clear) Reboot the phone from the menu Done

[@BLACKPANTHER-me6qn]

Location is nneded for smart tag and pther stuff or no

[@RADERTECH]

For stuff like Find My Phone for smart tags, you'd definitely want to keep gps on. You can go to Settings, Apps, then in the 3 dot menu, Permissions Manager. There you'll see Location, and you can take a look at all of the apps that have used it on your phone to get a feel for things. Thanks for stopping by.

[@bahareh_rezaie]

How about the screen refresh rate?

[@RADERTECH]

Switching down to 60hz will help save on battery life. Thanks for stopping by.

[@morm2173]

I remember when my s23 ultra was brand new on week 3 after adaptive battery learning and original one ui 5 version is came with. I was getting something like 9 to 15 hours a day w heavy use it was unbelievable. Unfortunately, I think due to excessive charging and perhaps lithium cycles I don't really get that anymore battery wise however it's still better than my s10 plus battery wise

[@RADERTECH]

They lithium based cells they use do start to degrade pretty fast when charged often. Hopefully it holds out for a few more years for you. Thanks for stopping by.

[@morm2173]

@RADERTECH what are proper charging habits to sustain battery ? Alot of contradictory information out there

[@MrDiyar-gp1vt]

With a simgle charge from 100 percent to zero or you got sot aroun 14 hours with 60 percent

[@morm2173]

@MrDiyar-gp1vt after 9 to 15 hours something like 30 % heavy use it was unbelievable coming from my s10 plus but I don't get that anymore and I think it's time for battery replacement

[@MrDiyar-gp1vt]

@morm2173 I think you used super fast charging and did heavy game the phone became hot 🔥 something like these you hurt the battery that's why you don't get it anymore I think mine is pretty good from 100 to zero used total time 11 hours and half or more

[@sivakrishnantr]

If you turn off location when app is not in use gps will turn off and that will mess up when u r using android auto. So I won't recommend to turn off location automatically option in routines.

[@RADERTECH]

In this situation, yeah, it's probably not a good idea. Thanks for stopping by.

[@sardarsalih996]

Hello i serch in galaxy store but didn't find good guardians why ??

[@RADERTECH]

It may not be available in your region. The full app name is "Good Guardians - the new name of Galaxy Labs". Thanks for stopping by.

[@hischackkkxo]

i actually found the WiFi power saving mode used more battery

[@RADERTECH]

Oh really? Oh wow, it's not supposed to be that way. Thanks for sharing this and for stopping by.

[@thomasramirez6212]

I turned on the force dark mode and it didn't work on this app called life 360. It stilled stayed in light theme.

[@RADERTECH]

Oh wow, that's really interesting, thanks for sharing this.

[@Maroon9Fifty]

Can't find the weather app in "app opened" 😢

[@RADERTECH]

Hmm, that's interesting, I'm sorry to hear that. Thanks for stopping by.

[@maryannfernandez9536]

Hi, i got my s24 ultra a month ago. It was working fine. Suddenly, a few days ago my phone started getting hot, fast charging took too long, battery drain like crazy. Anyone experiencing this? Please advice

[@de-luxe491]

May be you got an update... I recommend u wipe catche partition. May be do that every time u get an update, too. Secondly, if it does warm up in a particular location, u may have a low signal reception at that location, May be work or home.

[@maryannfernandez9536]

Yes, my phone got an update. How do wipe cache partition. I even tried to reset settings nothing works. thank you so much for your reply.

[@de-luxe491]

@maryannfernandez9536 did you just say you already rest the phone and still doing the same, or are you about to? And are u sure you do not have a netwrk signal issue like I mentioned, if your phone is overworking to stay connected it'll have heating issues and battery issues, to be sure, try using wifi for sometime and compare.

[@RADERTECH]

Hmm, it sounds like what others are mentioning - likely a bad update, or something is consuming a lot of resources suddenly in the background. I would hop in Device Care and see if it shows any issues, and you can also check the Battery settings to see what apps are bogging down your phone. If you do want to go all out and clear your cache, here's the instructions (stolen off google): Turn off the device Press and hold the Side key and the Volume Up button Release the Side key when the device turns on Keep holding the Volume Up button until the device enters Reboot Mode Press the Volume Down button to select Wipe cache partition Press the Side key Press the Volume Down button to select Yes Press the Side key The device will automatically reset and reboot

[@maryannfernandez9536]

@RADERTECH Thanks a lot for your advice, I am unable to clear cache on my device despite trying the method given, perhaps a different software overseas I will be servicing my phone at the samsung Service Centre in singapore. Thanks once again😊😊

[@PH_Vlogoffical]

I think this one is outdated? There's no good guardians in Samsung store.

[@RADERTECH]

No, it's not outdated. I actually downloaded it shortly before recording this video. I typically don't use it, but wanted to show that particular hint so folks know the app exists. I'm thinking it may not be available in your region if you don't see it. The full name in the Galaxy Store (now just called Store) is "Good Guardians - the new name of Galaxy Labs". Thanks for stopping by.

[@PH_Vlogoffical]

Ok thanks, but didn't find that apps in galaxy store, maybe it is available in selected country.

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Heard Good Guardians was bad...but dont know why...

[@RADERTECH]

I haven't heard of that, but you could always just use a routine to do the same thing. Thanks for stopping by!

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Only have my S22 Ultra my wifi is 99% never used cause I dont have home Wifi....so my wi fi power savings mode was grayed out...had to turn wifi on to be able to turn it on...and I dont have Wifi 7 toggle probably cause my device is old...But I figured out

[@mluterancik]

Or you could just use this beast of a phone the way it's intended to be used. It charges in like 30 minutes anyways

[@RADERTECH]

That's how I roll, lol! This is for those that need to squeeze every last drop out of it. Sometimes work situations can be tough for folks. Thanks for stopping by.
