Battery Fast Degrade - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

I brought the device on May 11 since on that day i install accubattery app since it will monitor my battery's health. . i keep my battery often from 40%-80% charge to keep it good. but when i found out this thread on How to gauge your phone's battery capacity after months of usage https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS7/comments/694urh/how_to_gauge_your_phone_battery_capacity_after/ my battery seems degrading so fast -306 mah for 2 months.?? and my charging cycle is only 67. I didnt experience any overheating since i bought this. i also use normal charging because i think that fast charge wear the battery faster. . . Im abit OC of this phone since it is not removable. . Is the accubattery making this false reading ? or i got a damage battery? what do u think? please advice.

I'm sure that software isn't accurate at all.

The other thing to keep in mind is that battery drain is almost always software related, and barring a bad battery, is rarely related to the hardware at all. If you have an app (or many apps) that create a bunch of wakelocks then your battery is going to crash and burn. I'll agree that my phone is brand new, but I stream music from Amazon Prime music ALL day and by 5 PM I'm at around 66%.

can somebody give me advice? I have quite big stanby drain. As you can see cell stanby and phone idle are high (around 12%). I lost about 10% of battery at night for 6 hours with wifi and data off..I am using latest radio and latest insertcoin rom. Thanks in advance.

Check the running apps in task manager at night before you go to sleep. There may be a game or an app which takes a large amount of RAM and battery power.
Losing 10% overnight is about what I have always seen with my phone..

I killed all tasks just to be safe..didnt help. I got about 180mA when idling which looks bit much. On my old Desire it was 3-5mA when sitting overnight..
There are plenty of threads on battery issues and how to minimize battery loss ... but otherwise one just have to live with the fact that batteries have not improved that much over the years as we would have liked to see.

[MUST LOOK]DeepShining lastest rom Battery Calibration WPextended error?

There is definitely something wrong with the battery. Either its a calibration bug or my battery is fried which is highly unlikely because it was working properly before flashing the deepshining rom
This is before i started playing a random game on my HTC HD7

This is after around 2hrs or so of gaming
As you can see its dropped from 91% all the way to 20% after 2 hrs of gaming which is ridiculous because i can get at least 4 hrs of gaming on this phone when it was interop and chervon unlocked.
This is the voltage at the start of gaming
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
This is the voltage for the phone after the gaming
What i found ridiculous is that when i started gaming the voltage output decreased but my battery percentage kept dropping at a fast rate.
Could someone check this out for me!
PS: I made the pictures big enough so you can see it clearly lol
ANOTHER PROBLEM : WP EXTENDED
When i try to switch profiles they don't switch properly. What i mean by properly is that if im trying to go from battery saver to user customisation by switching off battery saver and reboot the phone, it stays stuck on battery saver.

[HELP] Severe Battery Issues !

I do not know this is real or prank .....If it is real then very suitable for every person . What is price of this charger ? where it is available ..company name ....it should be mentioned .
No this is just a system optimizer. It optimizes your system, reduces energy drawing. Then your battery will charge fastly than before. Just try it.
I prefer to switch off my mobile off and then recharge it. Honestly, I don't like such apps as most of them them drained our battery as well as memory.
Just give it a try and then wrtie your feedback here please.
The link is changed. We have a new battery app now. Thank you

Capacity (reported by system) doesn't match the Charge Counter.

I'm using Devcheck to see my battery health. I've recently flashed the newest miui rom which is 13.0.5.
I did calibrate my battery after seeing that but still the maximum battery charge doesn't come close to 5160 mAh but only 4647 mAh. I know that battery degrade over time even unused but I just want to know for sure. I have this device for almost 2 years and rarely use it for gaming.

That's pretty good actually. Here's what AccuBattery says about my 2 year old phone.
