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.

Funny you mention the drain. Coworker had the sw0 and had battery drain. I was on the phone for Mayne an hour today and my battery drained faster.

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.
