Thanks for sharing the firmware version — Q50XWWU2AYD1 — that’s helpful. What you're describing with the Galaxy Ring is likely due to a firmware-related bug introduced in the most recent update, and you are definitely not alone. Several users have reported the exact same issues:
Battery life dropping from 7–8 days down to 2–3 days
Inaccurate charge status via the Samsung Health widget
Sudden full-charge readings from the charging case, even when it’s not actually full
Needing to disable features like skin temperature, heart rate monitoring, or sleep tracking to conserve battery — even though it wasn’t necessary before

Here’s What You Can Do Right Now
1. Check for a Patch Update
Samsung is likely aware of this. They may release a hotfix firmware soon. To check:
Open the Samsung Health app
Tap Menu > Galaxy Ring > About Ring
Tap Update Ring Software
If an update is available, apply it immediately.
2. Unpair and Re-pair the Ring
This can reset battery reporting issues:
Open Samsung Health
Go to Galaxy Ring > Settings > Unpair Ring
Restart your phone
Pair the ring again from scratch
This sometimes clears corrupted data from the last update.
3. Reset the Charging Case and Ring
If it’s showing false full charges:
Place the Ring in the charging case
Hold the charging case button (if applicable) for 10–15 seconds to reset
Remove the ring and place it back in the case
Then re-check the battery status via Samsung Health
4. Re-enable One Feature at a Time
Now that you’ve disabled everything, try turning features back on one by one to test which one drains battery excessively. In some cases, continuous heart rate monitoring is bugged and causes the biggest drain post-update.

Community Insight
Users with larger ring sizes (like size 12) have reported more noticeable drop-offs post-update, possibly due to slightly different battery calibration curves. You're not imagining this — it's a pattern seen across forums and Samsung Members reports.

What to Do Next
Report it through the Samsung Members app:
Go to Samsung Members > Get Help > Error Reports > Galaxy Ring
Include:
Your firmware version (Q50XWWU2AYD1)
Ring size
Battery drain rate
Which features were on/off
This ensures Samsung sees the scope of the issue and can push out a targeted fix
---
Bottom line:
This is almost certainly a firmware or calibration bug, not a hardware fault. Until Samsung issues a patch, unpairing/re-pairing, resetting the ring case, and selectively re-enabling features are your best options.
Let me know if you'd like help crafting a feedback report or checking logs — we can get Samsung to prioritize a fix faster with more detailed submissions.
