I just received the August security patch on my unlocked s20fe.
I hope you all have received it or will receive it.
I was hoping it would eliminate the ads but I haven't had time to check it.
My initial thought is that the announcement was too close to this release unfortunately.

I got the update a few days ago on my S20.

Ever since I've experienced severe battery drain.

I've updated all apps, optimized apps, and even cleared the cache partition.

Well I went through and updated all my apps again, did galaxy labs app booster, restarted and wiped the partition cache again.
Batter life returned to normal yesterday.

I did do one other thing that I need to test if its related. I turned off my phone companion app that links the phone to windows.

At least I'm back to going a full day with at least 40% left at 11pm.

My AT&T FE got it about two weeks ago - a bit of a surprise since the previous July patch came at the end of July.

As for the ad-less apps, I think Samsung said those are only coming with the next major One UI update. At this point, that's likely with the next Android 12 update. Unless they decide to release a One UI 3.2 beforehand... not likely.
