18 Ways To Extend The Battery Life Of Your Galaxy S24 Ultra

If you're rocking a Samsung Galaxy S24 and want to keep your battery going strong all day, you're in the right place. We've got some simple tweaks that'll make a big difference. Let's paint a picture of what's possible. Picture ending your day at 7:30 p.m. with a solid 55% battery left. That's after using your phone from morning till evening. Let's explore how to make that happen.

1. Light Performance Profile

The Galaxy S24 Ultra, with its powerful processor, can afford to take a lighter approach without compromising your experience. By navigating to Settings > Device Care > Performance, you can switch your performance profile to Light. This mode prioritizes battery life and cooling efficiency, making it an ideal choice for the long haul. And don't worry, if you ever need that extra burst of power, switching back to the standard profile is just a tap away.

2. Auto Optimization

Within the same Device Care menu lies a feature akin to giving your phone a mini-vacation. The Auto Optimization setting allows your device to periodically cleanse itself of the digital clutter, ensuring it runs smoothly. Setting it to restart once a week, say Sunday at 3 a.m., means you wake up to a phone that's refreshed and ready to tackle the week ahead.

3. Adaptive Power Saving

Diving deeper into the Battery settings, we have the Adaptive Power Saving mode. This isn't your average power-saving feature; it's more like a smart assistant, learning from your usage patterns to apply power-saving measures when needed. Whether during those low-activity hours or while you're lost in dreamland, this feature minimizes your battery consumption without you lifting a finger.



Imagine plugging in your Galaxy S24 Ultra at night, and instead of charging straight to 100% and staying there for hours (which can strain the battery), it smartly stops at 80%. But here's where the magic happens: based on your daily routine, it learns when you usually wake up and completes its charge to 100% just in time. This way, your phone is fully charged and ready when you are, without overcharging.



If your battery dips below 95% before your wake-up time, the system gently tops it back up to 100%. This ensures your phone has a maximum charge for the day ahead without compromising the Galaxy S24 Ultra battery's health. It's all about finding that perfect balance.



You might wonder, "Why not just charge to 100% and be done with it?" Well, lithium-ion batteries (the type used in smartphones) have a longer lifespan when they're not constantly pushed to their maximum capacity. By avoiding staying at 100% charge for prolonged periods, especially under charging conditions, you ensure that your battery remains healthy for longer.


Activating the Battery Protection Adaptive Mode is as easy as pie. Dive into your settings, find the Battery Protection option, and switch it to Adaptive. That's it! Your phone now has the intelligence to manage its charging cycle in a way tailored to your lifestyle without you having to give it a second thought.

4. Eye Comfort Shield

For many, the phone is both the last thing seen at night and the first in the morning. However, the blue light emitted from the screen can disrupt sleep patterns. This is where the Eye Comfort Shield feature becomes useful, acting as a form of nighttime protection for the screen.


To activate this feature, navigate to the Display settings, locate Eye Comfort Shield, and set it to activate automatically according to a schedule, such as from 11 p.m. to 6:50 a.m. This setting reduces blue light emission and enhances warm tones, making the screen less intense and more conducive to sleep.


Once programmed, the Eye Comfort Shield automatically adjusts the screen's color temperature to warmer hues, effectively minimizing blue light exposure. It's as if the phone prepares itself for bedtime too. Moreover, these warmer colors can be beneficial for the Galaxy S24 Ultra's battery life, potentially extending its duration.

5. Do Not Disturb

Being awakened by an unexpected notification at 3 a.m. is unpleasant. This is where the Do Not Disturb (DND) feature becomes invaluable, acting as a digital "Do Not Disturb" sign to ensure uninterrupted sleep.


Activating DND is straightforward. Simply access the quick settings, press and hold the DND icon, and set the desired quiet hours. It's possible to synchronize these settings with features like Eye Comfort Shield, for example, from 11 p.m. to 6:30 a.m., enabling the phone to enter a silent mode and mute notifications until the user decides to start their day.


For situations that cannot wait or for certain contacts who might need to get in touch regardless of the time, the DND settings offer a solution. They allow specific contacts to bypass DND mode, ensuring that important calls or messages can still come through.

6. Wi-Fi Optimization

First up, we're talking about switching to a better Wi-Fi network. This nifty feature on your Galaxy S24 Ultra is like having a personal assistant constantly looking for a superior Wi-Fi connection. When it finds one, it makes the switch, ensuring you're always hooked up to the best possible signal. And the best part? It only does its magic when your screen is off, so your streaming or scrolling never skips a beat.



Next, let's chat about the auto Wi-Fi on/off function. This is a no-brainer to turn on. It learns which Wi-Fi networks you love and automatically connects you when you're in range. Picture this: You're walking into your house, arms full of groceries, and your phone hooks up to your Wi-Fi without lifting a finger. And when you leave? It smartly switches off Wi-Fi, saving your battery from searching for signals that aren't there.



Last but not least, we've got the Wi-Fi power-saving mode. This isn't just any power-saving trick. Your Galaxy S24 Ultra puts on a detective hat and starts analyzing Wi-Fi traffic patterns. It's looking for the most efficient way to connect, saving your battery life by avoiding unnecessary work. Whether it's choosing the best Wi-Fi band or deciding when to hop onto a different network, this setting ensures your Galaxy S24 Ultra is using its brain, not just its battery.

7. Auto Dim

Let's talk about that moment when you're chilling, maybe sipping on your favorite drink or being lost in thought, and your phone is just sitting there. Auto Dim steps in like a thoughtful friend, saying, "Hey, I'll lower the lights for you." It's not about turning off the show by shutting the screen down. Instead, it dims the lights after about 30 seconds, saving you some battery without going full blackout mode. If you've set your screen to turn off after 2 minutes of inactivity, Auto Dim is that gentle nudge saying, "Let's save some energy," without rushing to the end.

8. Battery Tracker

Within the realm of Good Guardians lies the Battery Tracker, a tool that sheds Light on the mysteries of your Galaxy S24 Ultra battery usage. It's like having a detailed map of where all your battery power is going. You can see everything from screen time to which apps are soaking up your precious juice. It's cool to have this insight, especially if you're the type who likes to keep tabs on your phone's energy consumption.


Have you ever noticed an app clinging to the top of your battery usage list, and you're like, "Why are you even here?" With Battery Tracker, you can put those energy-hogging apps to sleep, just like that. It's as easy as tapping on the app and choosing to give it a little timeout.

9. Standard Refresh Rate

You are moving on to something a bit more technical but equally nifty, the Standard Refresh Rate setting for apps. Picture this: you've got your go-to apps, those you dive into without a second thought. For me, it's Instagram and White Out Survival. They're like those comfy sneakers you can't stop wearing. But here's the catch, these apps can be quite the energy hogs, guzzling up your battery like there's no tomorrow.



So, what's the solution? Dialing them down to a standard refresh rate. It's like telling them, "Take it easy, will ya?" And guess what? They still run as smooth as butter. No hiccups, no fuss. Your favorite apps are doing their thing without draining your Galaxy S24 Ultra life force. It's a simple tweak, but it makes all the difference in stretching your battery life while keeping your app experience top-notch.

10. Pulling the Screen Curtain

Have you ever felt like your phone's Display is too lively when you're trying to focus on something else? Enter Screen Curtain. This nifty feature is like pulling a cozy blanket over your Galaxy S24 Ultra screen. You can keep jamming to your tunes or have YouTube playing in the background without the distraction of your screen's light show. Just imagine it as dimming the lights for a more intimate concert experience with your favorite playlist. And when you're ready to dive back into the visual world, a simple double tap brings everything back to life. It's like having a secret switch to vanish the digital world while keeping its heart beating temporarily.

11. Night-Time Power Saving

When night falls and the moon takes place in the sky, it's time for your Galaxy S24 Ultra to wind down, too. Setting your phone to Power Saving Mode during bedtime hours (say, 11:30 p.m. to 6:50 a.m.) is like tucking it in for a good night's sleep. This mode ensures your Galaxy S24 Ultra isn't partying hard with power while you're off in dreamland. It's a smart way to save energy, providing you and your Galaxy S24 Ultra wake up refreshed and ready to take on the day.

12. Battery Guardian

Battery Guardian gathers all the power-saving settings under one roof, so you don't have to scavenger hunt through your Galaxy S24 Ultra's settings to find them.


App Power Saving: This is where Battery Guardian shines. It's constantly looking for apps that drain more battery than they should. If it finds one, it's like, "Nope, not on my watch," and puts it straight into power-saving mode. This way, your battery life gets a boost without you lifting a finger.

13. One Tap to Optimize

Now, let's talk about the magic button—Optimize Now. Hitting this button is like sending your Galaxy S24 Ultra to a spa. It gets pampered and tuned up to emerge feeling brand new. From switching on Dark Mode to adjusting your screen resolution and refresh rate, this feature goes through your Galaxy S24 Ultra's settings with a fine-tooth comb. It ensures everything is set just right to extend your battery life without you having to check each setting manually. It's a one-stop solution within Battery Guardian that gives your phone's battery a much-needed breather.

14. Quick Settings

Let's not forget about the control center of convenience—Quick Settings. This is where you can manage all those features that are great to have but not always needed. For instance, Quick Share and Mobile Hotspot are like those high-powered tools in your garage. It's fantastic for specific tasks but not something you need running all the time. Turning these off when they're not in use is like unplugging appliances to save power. It's a small step, but it significantly extends your Galaxy S24 Ultra's battery life.

15. NFC

Sure, it's the magic behind tap-to-pay and easy logins, but it's also a diva, demanding battery power to stay ready. If your daily routine doesn't include waving your phone like a wand for payments, give NFC a break. Turn it off and watch your battery will thank you.

16. Always On Display

Now, let's talk about the Always On Display. It's like having a mini-billboard on your nightstand. Cool? Yes. Essential? Not really. If you're like me and don't need to know the time at every waking moment, consider turning this feature off. A quick lift or tap of your Galaxy S24 Ultra can tell you the time without the constant battery drain.

17. Don't Forget Your Galaxy Watch

Here's a pro tip: Lean on your Galaxy Watch. It's not just a chic accessory; it's your battery-saving ally. You're playing a smart game of battery conservation by glancing at your watch for notifications instead of lighting up your Galaxy S24 Ultra's Display. It's a win-win—stay updated and save energy.

18. Extra Dim

Lastly, let's not overlook the Extra Dim feature. It's like sunglasses for your phone at night. Perfect for those moments when you're trying to wind down but still need your Galaxy S24 Ultra's glow, just not in full force. Adjust the intensity to suit your needs, ensuring a comfortable, battery-friendly brightness level.

Final Thoughts

So there you have a handful of straightforward adjustments to extend your Galaxy S24's battery life. Remember, it's all about making these changes once and enjoying long-term benefits. Your phone doesn't always need to be in superhero mode, ready for action. Sometimes, letting it rest and recharge can be the best approach for both of you.
