Your Samsung Galaxy S25 FE battery could be draining because of this
Samsung Galaxy S25 FE user recently noticed serious battery drain and overheating on their phone. At first, the user thought Samsung’s One UI update was causing the problem. However, after checking the phone, they found a completely different reason.
The phone was getting hot and losing battery even when it was not being used. WhatsApp was also running in the background for many hours. The user found that WhatsApp was active for around 14 hours a day and was using a lot of the phone’s processor.
Further checking showed that WhatsApp’s contact-sync feature was not working properly. It kept trying to connect again and again. This caused WhatsApp to use more power than normal. But WhatsApp was not the real problem.
The user later found that MicroG was causing the issue. MicroG is an unofficial version of Google Play Services. It is often used with modified YouTube apps such as ReVanced and Morphe.

The user had MicroG installed along with the official Google Play Services. This created a conflict. WhatsApp was apparently trying to use MicroG instead of the official Google service. When the connection failed, WhatsApp kept trying again in the background. This constant activity caused the phone to become hot and drain its battery quickly.
The solution was simple. The user removed MicroG, closed WhatsApp, and cleared its cache. After that, the unnecessary background activity stopped, and the battery drain and overheating went away.
This shows that a software update does not always cause battery problems. Sometimes, third-party or unofficial apps can also cause unexpected problems.

Galaxy S24 grabs 4 great AI features
Looking at the update size, this doesn’t seem to be a major release. However, its impact is way too big; even the changelog doesn’t list the newly added features; it just does the formality of informing users that AI features have been added.
- Call Brief
- Custom cards in Now Brief
- My FanCam
- Now Nudge
Call Brief is a very useful feature that further improves the caller info screen. If you receive international calls, the Phone app will show a bit more information, such as the time in the local time zone and country details.
Now Brief is also being improved with the latest Beta. On the Galaxy S26 series, Samsung brought Netflix recommendations to Now Brief. You can also add Custom cards, letting you further tailor the briefing experience.
My FanCam is a smart addition right from the Galaxy Z Fold 8. You will love it even if you are not a content creator. Open a video featuring moving objects, select the one to be framed throughout the clip, and get a clip.
Now Nudge is a context-aware AI feature landed on Galaxy S24 series. Based on your routine, activities, and profile, Now Nudge recommends your next possible move, reducing manual inputs through agentic intelligence.
Software info and how to install
Samsung’s second Beta for the Galaxy S24 series brings the August 2026 security patch. The firmware build version ends with ZZI4 and weighs around 600 megabytes.
