Guide to Optimizing Your Samsung Phone for Longevity and Stability

Keeping your phone running smoothly for years isn’t just about avoiding drops and scratches—it’s about how you set it up and maintain it. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you extend the life of your Samsung phone, improve battery health, and keep performance stable over time.

Step 1: Update Your Phone First

Before transferring any data, update your phone to the latest software version. This ensures you have the latest bug fixes and security patches.

✅ Why?

• Fixes bugs that might slow down your phone.
• Ensures the best compatibility with apps and accessories.
• Improves security against hackers and malware.

⚠ Pro Tip: After about two major Android updates, your phone might slow down slightly due to heavier software. If your phone is still running well, you don’t always need to update right away—wait and see how the update performs for others first.

Step 2: Factory Reset for a Fresh Start

After updating, reset your phone to factory settings. This ensures a clean installation without any leftover files from previous versions.

✅ Why?

• Removes old junk files that could slow down your device.
• Clears any lingering software bugs from updates.

⚠ Optional Step: You can also clear the cache partition before resetting, but a full reset is often better.

Step 3: Install Apps the Right Way

• Use Google Drive to restore your WhatsApp—let the app handle it.
• Install apps fresh from the Play Store instead of transferring them from an old phone.

✅ Why?

• Avoids carrying over unnecessary files or corrupted data.
• Ensures apps are up-to-date with the latest optimizations.

Step 4: Use Routines to Save Battery

Samsung’s Routines feature automates settings to extend battery life and optimize performance.

4.1 Power-Saving Routine

📌 Set your phone to turn on power-saving mode at 30% battery and turn it off when it charges above 30%.

✅ Why?

• Prevents your phone from draining too fast.
• Saves battery without always keeping power-saving mode on.

4.2 Flight Mode While Sleeping (If you have a good WiFi connection at home)

📌 Set your phone to turn on Flight Mode using samsung routines and enable WiFi during sleep hours. This works well if you have WiFi calling enabled.

✅ Why?

• Mobile data drains battery more than WiFi.
• You still receive calls, SMS, and app notifications.
• Helps extend battery lifespan by reducing unnecessary background activity.

⚠ Pro Tip: Set your routine to turn mobile data back on 30 minutes before waking up so everything is ready when you start your day.

4.3 Limit Charging to 80% for Better Battery Life

📌 Use Routines to stop charging at 80% and resume before your wake-up time to reach 100%.

✅ Why?

• Charging to 100% all the time puts stress on the battery.
• Helps the battery last longer over the years.

🔋 Best Practice: If possible, charge in longer cycles (one full charge per day or even longer if your usage allows it) instead of constantly topping up. This reduces wear on the battery.

Step 5: Adjust Brightness to Avoid Screen Issues

📌 Turn off auto-brightness and manually set it to around 30%.

✅ Why?

• Prevents green or pink lines from appearing over time (common Samsung OLED issue).
• Reduces battery drain.

Step 6: Manage Background Apps to Improve Performance

📌 Go to Settings → Battery & Device Care → Battery → Background Usage Limits and put less-used apps into Deep Sleep.

✅ Why?

• Prevents unnecessary apps from running in the background.
• Saves battery and keeps the phone running fast.

⚠ Only keep essential apps active, such as:
✔ WhatsApp
✔ Email
✔ Browser
✔ Banking apps

Put apps you rarely use (like telco apps or shopping apps) into Deep Sleep.

Step 7: Use Wireless Charging for Battery Health

📌 Switch to wireless charging with a MagSafe case or ring.

✅ Why?

• Slower charging = longer battery life (fast charging generates more heat and wears out the battery faster).
• Wireless charging is more gentle on the battery.

⚠ Pro Tip: Set up a smart plug to start charging at 3 AM, stop at 5 AM, then resume from 7 AM to 7:30 AM to reach 100%. This prevents the phone from staying at 100% for too long.

What to Avoid to Keep Your Phone Healthy

❌ Don’t charge your phone while using it heavily.
This includes:

• Using GPS navigation in the car while charging.
• Gaming or streaming while charging.

✅ Why?

• Overheating damages battery health.
• The battery drains faster when charged under heavy usage.

Final Thoughts

Following these steps will help keep your Samsung phone running smoothly for years, extend battery life, and reduce performance slowdowns over time. A well-maintained phone can easily last 5+ years without major issues!

For best battery longevity, charge your phone less frequently but in full cycles (ideally once a day or longer, depending on usage).

It was this price on Shopee that day I bought s24u for rm3485 payday sales I think 25th

2025 wise people don’t buy pre order anymore. My last pre order was samsung s7 plus . Also kelam kabut they mix up people order, long queue and people cut queue.

Buy on lazy and Shopee cheaper, quick, reach door step . I remember I queue at machines for nearly 1 hour to just buy a iPhone 15 pro max . No free gift no discount, some more pay first only can touch your phone. While samsung store nobody

Especially s24u to S25u not much improvement

Samsung marketing done wrong should like who pre order get special price so who miss it regret but this is not pre order with overpriced value then price slow drop and drop and drop onl

Experience users don’t pre order from launch only newbie does. Even iPhone now you can get a lot discount after 2 to 3months.

Because the money you saved you can spend on other accessories or even to get samsung pay instead you donate to samsung earn more profit

You are right they thought Asia is like US

Other brands already nearly catch up like azhar said

Xiaomi – Leica (e.g., Xiaomi 13 Ultra, 12S Ultra)
Vivo – Zeiss (e.g., Vivo X100 Ultra)
Sony – Zeiss (e.g., Xperia series)
OnePlus – Hasselblad (e.g., OnePlus 12, OnePlus 11)
OPPO – Hasselblad (e.g., OPPO Find X7 Ultra)
Huawei – Previously Leica (before Xiaomi took over the partnership)

Samsung best camera now start to be shaken already

If they don’t start to innovate there goes

From my experience usually warranty activate before sent out so if delivery delay so is the date. Safest walk in to buy guarantee warranty follow buying date

your mistake is to sell to such service. They usually lowballed their customers.

You are hidden the app use . Kindly show that too

I check currently price is rm3,849 retail price + prepaid RM30 = RM4,569
Offer maxis price RM2,999 + plan 109 x24 +6% tax = 2,772.96. = Phone + plan = RM5771.96

The next question how much data do you use? if like 10gb-30gb then not worth

yes you are reading my mind.

yes before this SIRI was good, after become AI intelligence the AI is more stupid. Sometimes searching for this stuff it will ask me whether I want to use chatgpt and most of the it doesn't understand me after update. I use voice command with mi home to control my entire house lighting after update the command I always use become turn on the camera flash light or adjust my screen brightness.

YEs the AI photo also sux most of the time after erase something there some left over in the image.

% does not match the screen shot of usage

Yes iPhone I am using benks sapphire coated screen protector only 1 tiny scratch even countless time dropping my phone


Why not you share what you do in the 14 hours because screenshot about 8hours justified but other 8 hours missing

Btw if you full day wifi usually is achievable what bot achievable is mobile data full day

This post has been edited by aspire2oo6: Mar 8 2025, 10:25 PM

Try experiment full day mobile data/ no WiFi if you also achieve that hours then it’s jaw dropping. If WiFi usually achievable in low power mode and minimum settings

That pretty accurate for now.

Wow 9 hours purely on data it’s amazing

I also confused what you guys are saying? Let me clarify does they mean this? so means the discontinue is a window inside windows PC running dex. if that gonna go yes it should since Microsoft phone works the same

There are 3 different things mentioned here:

Samsung DeX - (this isn't mentioned, but this is the "real deal") the phone becomes the computer with an external monitor, Android apps run on the phone, but in a desktop fashion;

Samsung DeX for Windows - a windows app, that is run on a windows machine, that (via USB2.0) connects to a DeX capable phone, and opens up and shows Samsung DeX in a window on the computer. This means, that there is a significant lag (because the external monitor of the phone is a windows software), but it allows a windows user to use the phone on the windows desktop.

Microsoft Phone Link - mix of an android app and a windows app, that work together and you can use the phone's messaging/audio/video capabilities via the windows computer, even show the (non-DeX) screen of your phone. - I suppose, this works with Samsung phones without DeX, as well (like the A-series), and even wireless links are possible here.
