I've just bought my phone two days ago, but it seems to have a really awful problem, my battery is draining like hell, I don't get more than 7 hours SOT and sometimes my SOTs are aweful.
Take a look at the screenshots.
Is it normal? Tell me if it isn't so that I can take it for a replacement.
One of the screenshots are from 100 percent to 14 and the other one is from 100 percent to 79
Also my phone is always warm and I think that it's too much warm sometimes.

If your phone is quite new , then I'd suggest that you should most probably put your phone through many charge discharge cycles . if the problem still persists then I'd really advice you to take a replacement

Thanks for your help, I'll try to do some more charge cycles and see what happens, may I ask if you own a S8+? I'm curious about your SOT, wanna know how much the standard of it is.

How much would be considered ok? At the moment i get around 8h 56min with 14% left. Is this a good value?

On my S8 i get 7-8 hours on an average SOT .
Mine is the worse. I can only get 4h SOT in a day.

Yes I think? I get only 7 hours with no batterry left.
7 hours SOT is good. You have no reason to complain about that.
Also, you need to wait a week for everything to settle, and let the Samsung power monitor start putting unused apps to sleep.
Also, dual SIM phones will use more battery than single SIM.

Only if the second SIM is actually in use, otherwise it doesn't.
@JohnSmit268 I have a Dual SIM S8+ as well, only use it with 1 SIM, but I get about the same battery life as you do, slightly better but I'm happy with it. I've put some apps to sleep permanently so they don't run in the background and I use it at about 30% brightness.

I noticed your computed power usage with 7h SOT was 1633 mAh, that's a lot higher than mine.
With 30% brightness, full res display, and a black theme, my computed power usage with around 7 and a half hours of SOT is only around 800 mAh.
Do you use AOD?

Yep, I read somewhere that it doesn't have much effect on battery consumption.
Now I'm charging my phone to 100%, see how the phone performs without AOD on full res. I really feel the drainage is faster than it should be, let's see what happens.

Yeah , my mobile data LTE is always on and I use regular stuff and YouTube (2 hours ) daily
Difference between FHD and WQHD+ is negligible and makes almost no difference to battery usage.
If you think 7 hours SOT is not good, then you are honestly very much mistaken. It is very good.
But you simply cannot compare easily with someone else. There are so many factors that change. Signal strength, wifi strength, how often you use wifi and data, brightness, auto brightness, AOD, vibration, sound, bluetooth, NFC, apps installed, apps used, apps running in the background, location settings. They all make a difference and vary between every device.
Colour of wallpaper will make a big difference too. Wallpaper with lots of black will save power because of how AMOLED displays work, so that will also makes a difference between every device too.

Don't know if it's luck or something, or maybe it's a one time happening but this is my test result, with the draining speed I have, it can give me around 9 to 10 hours SOT. I had the 3G always on, my brightness was more than half. This SOT is outstanding, I wish my device maintain this. I turned off AOD, switched to a black theme and used full res display.
Just wondering why the screen usage is that high. 2400 mAh...

Hi to all users, hoping you're having a nice day i ask you a question I bought two days ago a second hand Galaxy S7 Flat (G930F) gold platinum 32GB including original box and accessories and bla bla bla for 230€. The phone is working well is updated to Oreo with the latest security patch of July 2018 it's in the same condition as a new one really everything is fine except for one thing or two . Start talking about the battery that is really bad i can reach only 3h30min maybe 4h00min (only under WiFi usage) with screen resolution in FHD a lot of stuff deactivated etc everything setted for a low battery consumption (exeception for power saving mode that i hate) now the thing is i relate the battery to the second problem that i mentioned before and the problem is that the phone overheat a lot and i think this overheating is caused by the old bad battery is that possibile? An example im using only Whatsapp to text messages and the phone it's not hot but if alongside i open common application like Facebook or Instagram or anyway even if i open another two application that they are not Facebook or Instagram the phone overheat! I downloaded CPU-Z to see the temperature of the battery and it goes always from 30.4C to a max of 35.8C or sometimes 36.2C but never higher but the fact is that with this battery temperature when the phone is in my hand its really hot.. the thermal temperatures are always beetwen 36C when the phone is "cold" and max 46/47C when the phone is hot, almost forget to say not always but often the phone overheat a lot even when he is on charge.. now dont tell me that the battery its normal i know well that a S7 or S7 edge can do 6h or 7h of screen on usage (only over wi fi usage) or 4h on screen in 4G all day, mine with this battery reach only 1h33min or 2h in 4G i know this battery is bad and i will replace it in this days i hope until this friday but my question at the end is simple can an old battery cause so much overheating on this S7 or anyway in general on a phone? Thanks in advance to everyone that who spent time to read this and help me!
try installing Phone INFO apps from playstore and look the battery charging cycle. and i can confirm that with the Oreo my phone is hotter than Nougat. i'm using Snapdragon variant btw.

hello, have you changed battery and have you seen improvement? because mine is at 68%.
in addition, it does not exceed the 2:30 of screen on time and gets hot
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Samsung Galaxy M30s before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
12 -13 hrs easily
Getting 9 to 10 hours with 2 day usage. Will certainly go above 10 hours if used continuously in a single day.
12-13 hrs average easily!!
With dark mode you can easily go 15-17 hrs
I don't know why my device having multiple issues such as call muting, Vodafone volte not working also getting only 6 hours of SOS with 15 to 18 hours of battery backup... Faulty device?
Sometimes I am getting message such as CPU usage is high please restart your device and not getting the speed over 4G at all...
I dont see any standby drain. When I keep data on (locaion,wifi and bluetooth off) in the night it drained only 2-3 % battery. with data off/location/wifi/bluetooth off it was 100% in the morning.
But I have a different issue, When I am using the phone, I see a drain now which was not there initially. Android system is draining most of the power. I usually used to get 9+ hrs SOT with 2 days usage. but now Both have dropped below to 1&1/2 day and around 8 hours SOT. Tried all the things found on net, but it dint helped.
Help?

I am testing M30s right now. Seems promisive. I still have my beloved P2 on the desk
First test: 3 days of light usage
Today ROM update flashed.
Next test from tomorrow morning
@butchieboy and others
No complaint here for sure, but have any of you noticed a definite worse battery life vs say S20??
Yesterday and today noticed after just a few hours of use I'm down to 70s on battery
In all fairness I did a full Smart switch transfer from S20 to the Note ,, so maybe something screwed up
Any thoughts?

I didn't move anything over from my Note 10+. I did a full clean fresh install. And my battery life is MUCH worse than my Note 10+. I even have some drain when it's not being used at all. Hoping it settles a bit over the next few days.

I did my standard test with Gsam battery monitor: (use the Widget)
1. charge it fully.
2. go to bed and put it next to my bed.
3. In the morning after 8 jours it had just .7%/hour battery drain which is somewhat less than my Note 10+ which mostly gives me .8%/hour battery drain while sleeping during the night..
Huib
First day after overnight change. Almost 6 hout SOT. 4% left at the end of the day.
In my subjective view, so far seems to be definitely worse than my S10+ both with and without adaptive refresh.

We were talking about this on Discord. Granted I only charge to 80% and don't let it drop below 20%. But have noticed that my 10+ battery seems better. I know it usually takes a new device or new firmware once flashed or ota a couple days to calibrate but right now it hasn't been great..not really bad but I thought it would be better. I did noticed that after using that crap out of it then doing a cache wipe and starting my charge cycle to 80% it is a little better. But battery usage will vary depending on how each person uses their device. I switched to 96hz to see if I get a little extra time on battery. And for me...and its just me because I'm kinda OCD..lol I never restore anything, I always start fresh.

3rd day today. Not bad. 2% left at 9:45 pm. Charged overnight.
No complaints on my end. You guys should give the phone a week to learn your usage patterns and then report back. Be sure to keep performance mode on optimized.

The standBy drain can be really bad. It seems to be losing 1 percent after every 5 min. Similar to while screen is on. Did a restart still the same. Google photo somehow keeps using battery while I had it killed and no uploading. Never transfer from my note 10+. Manually installed all apps and data.
Battery's been great for me so far. Looks like about 7 hours of screen time, can't complain about that.

are you on snapdragon?
The first rule of "new phone club" is to not talk about the battery. For at least a week after having the phone. It's pointless. Phone adapts after being used.
Please use this thread to post everything about the Battery live of our S22 ultras
Pretty bad the first day (drained 40% in 12 hours of not doing anything).
This is currently day 3 of me using it. The battery learning or whatever is done and it is noticeably better (but not perfect). Although the fact that on low brightness/ambient light you are stuck with 120Hz kinda kills the battery in the evening.
My Phone runs actually 2Days and 1hour without Charge. I have 7% remaining and 6h 5 Minutes SOT.
I Use energysaver mode(always on+bluetooth+wlan is non stop on) and all apps in deepsleep that i dont need
For me it´s good so far^^

When it comes to battery drain while the phone is not doing anything (just sitting with the screen off and all apps closed) it is worse than my almost 4 years old S9+...
While using it it is hard to tell, but sometimes it seems to just eat through the battery.

Day one battery life is pretty awful! Hope it improves..
. I take it off at 100% and I watch the battery tick down almost immediately. Just general use dropped 16% in the first hour. Hope it gets better than this.

Wtf thats **** mate :/ hope we will See an Update on the official Release:/
Day three. This has the worst battery life of any device I have used in years. For example, Dropped 5% in first 16 minutes of use today. I used smart switch. Maybe that did it? Or is 5G?
I have 2 full days in now, and the battery life is good. S22U 512K unlocked SD version, no power savers, adaptive brightness. I have fast charge turned off and using Anker wireless charger, recharge in about 3-4 hrs.
Feb 23rd : 8h 43m SOT, 8h 22m screen off, 36% remaining at end
Feb 24th : 8h 48m SOT, 7h 51m screen off, 46% remaining at end
I'm on day 5. S22 Ultra with 12/256. It is technically getting better but I do not like how quickly it drains. I been finishing about 5-6 hours SOT max but with battery almost completely dead. Just from unplugging it and driving to work checking notifications, it goes down to 97%. Never seen a battery drain that quickly. Maybe I am just spoiled from the iPhone battery. Also running everything max QHD, 120Hz, auto brightness and Snapdragon version.
One additional comment, I wonder if the battery drain could be due to the GPU and people's different usage patterns. I don't watch a lot of video or play games and my battery seems OK. That and the reports of the phone getting really hot when playing games and the refresh and screen glitches makes me wonder if people reporting higher drain are using the GPU more.
I had this phone for about a week now. Got used to all the features. Did all the things needed to calm the draining issue. But no budge. I've drained from 85% protection battery on to 65% upon waking up. So much faster drain from my old s20 ultra. I'm sure there will be an update. The more we talk. We all should comment on Instagram comment section.

I've drained from 85% protection battery on to 65% upon waking up. So much faster drain from my old s20 ultra. I'm sure there will be an update. The more we talk. We all should comment on Instagram comment section.

And do you think that doing a hard reset and setting it up as new can improve the battery?
I lost 5 or 6% overnight, and after last week's update that's been reduced to 3%
I have poor reception at work and even there I have way less drain now, so I'm a happy camper.
Sounds like some app(s) that are draining too much battery imo.
Would probably help if y'all uploaded screenshots of your battery graph. i'm getting 9.5 hours SOT at FHD resolution with Power set to Optimized. I also use the Samsung Browser and not the Battery Hog Google Chrome Browser.

That screenshot shows %100 charge down to %10 charge over a 25 hour period after it was charged 100% full. Screen On Time was 9 hours 37 min and 15 hours 27 min idle. The phone was not recharged in that time period.

There's a small portion in the graph that goes up... batteries don't charge themselves...

Maybe it was connected to a PC via usb cable or something, because in fact it was charged twice as you can see on the illustration

UPDATE: I know what the spikes are now. Forgot I connected the Phone to the Car port for Navigation on way to work and then later on way home so that must be it. Sorry. I'll do the test again without connecting to car for navigation.
Battery issue is on EXYNOS models

Not just Exynos models. I have a snapdragon that has battery drain too.
The lottery on these chips is evident. You're either lucky or not. Too much variation, it's ridiculous

You should check which apps comsume battery too much, then decide what to do next.
When i first started i weren't happy at all with the battery drain. It barely used to last with 5hrs or so of screen on time! (Light usage too)
After the first 4 days it got better. I used an app called Alliance Shield X, which i believe helped me a lot. Now I'm happy with my battery drain.
Edit: Also the Galaxy Max Hz App.

Alliance Shield X helps to disable packages, create firewall, adblock, etc...
Galaxy Max Hz allows you to adjust screen refresh rates (highs and lows), and a few other settings like lowest hz on screen off/Aod refresh rate
Instander is just some 3rd party Instagram with additional features, lol. I don't use it a lot so i can't say for certain, but looking at the stats, it seems to be a decent drain
