Does this seems right for 8 month old S8+? What of Samsung's 5% degradation in a year claim?

How much SOT you usually get on a single charge?
Around 5 hours. Sometimes closer to 6, although I am a light user with not many apps installed. No FB, snapchat, Instagram etc. Just calls, texts and casual browsing really.
Well that went well..
5 hours? I get 3 if I'm lucky. and by the way, this app isn't that accurate anyway so take it too seriously.
i factory reset my phone 1-2 times a year. My S8+ slowly gets worse and worse battery life.
After factory reset its much better again..

Sadly. My results persist even after a factory reset.
To be clear, my battery life seems fine or normal at least, however I have the issue of the battery having degraded in health of 20% in 8 months of ownership which is so far off from Samsung’s claims of only 5% battery degradation in the 1st year of use. My S8+ appears to have quadrupled Samsung’s estimate in little over half of a year.
Mine has degraded about 10% in 9 months. I am disappointed but luckily the phone is covered by a 2 year warranty so will get them to replace it

You're assuming the app is correct, don't.

10% is still dissapointing given what Samsung claims. Unfortunately I have a little crack on the screen so warranty isn’t an option for me but good luck with yours, I would definitely have it looked at as even 10% degraded in 9 months seems off.

Its not just Accubattery though. The Samsung file system, using file explorer shows “fullcapnom” file and confirms the remaining MaH capacity is now at 2800 down from 3500mah which corresponds which the 20% health loss shown in AB.
I’m pretty much a light user tbf so I can only assume the battery itself was either degraded at manufacture or it’s simply a bad cell.

Hi
You will be able to use the warranty, they just won't fix anything relating to the screen damage.

i am not sure that file is correct at all... on my phone it shows 1056 but on my last full charge i had 118 hours (almost 5 full days) from full charge to recharge so that number can not be correct...
For anyone interested, here is the method I used to check maH value using a file explorer..

thats what i used but as i said mine showed 1056 but i almost had 5 days on my last full charge so that file can not be accurate at all.

It’s possible it’s incorrect but i have to say that it shows around the same value as the other app (Accubattery) shows. If you see my OP the pic attatched shows AB estimates my capacity & Remaining capacity of 2803 and the fullcapnom file also shows 2800 which makes me think they are somewhat accurate in my case.

Is this true? I was somehow under the impression that “any” damage to screen, “accidental damage” (other than scratching) renders the warranty void?

I think so, certainly give them a call first but I'm certain they will fix it.
According to GSAM, my average SOT is 4.5 hours, with a 20 hour average life. Sometimes I only get 3.5 hours of SOT. My phone is 2 months old. I'd say you're fine.
Hi Guys,
Thats my history: a week after the Note 8 launch, my battery was insanely good. 30h per charge, 6-7h SOT. But after an update my battery dropped 50% to only 15h per charge.
So I think: my battery is degraded with 6 months
Of course i tried to replace my S8 Plus battery And... Nothing
Now I have a brand new battery and have to charge after 15 hours with 3h max of SOT...
IMHO, its an efuse or some hardware related update that messed up battery life on some devices. Mine included :crying:
Ps.: I guess that the big bixby update was the responsible, but its only a feeling

Hey guys i'm new to this fourm i just signed up moments ago basically in search of some answers, so yesterday i brought a sony experia Z3 based on their battery life, there freedom, the quad core processor etc, basically for the nice design blahdi blah. but battery was the seller for me as it was known as the ''king'' of batterys..
anyway!
When i opened my phone out the box and started it, it had around 40% battery which is fine i understand they all come out the box half way charged. But i stuck the phone on charge around 12am and took it off charge 8am for when i go to work, now throughout my day at work i used the phone to look on social media, send a few texts, i don't game on the phone nor do i watch loads of videos due to only 10GB of data, but from about 8am to 4pm i was left with 2% battery, now before this phone i had an iPhone5 which in all fairness didn't last me the whole day it would last me till around 11am if i was lucky. but i've gone through various options (stamina mode) was already enabled btw, but nothings made much difference, i've turned the brightness down to nearly halfway, i've turned location services to battery efficient but this is my statistic for 100% battery..
So! my phone has been on charged since i got in at 4pm, haven't take it off charge and i don't intend too till the morning, hoping this will sort it by giving it a longer charge. but anway! as it stands at the moment my phone is on 100% battery, the usage i will get from it is saying 3 hours.. right? ridiculous. WITH stamina mode enabled i get 9 hours, now it seems 9 hours isn't that bad but my expectations was somewhere near the 17 hour mark. both of my friends have a Z3 and they get 15+ hours without stamina mode i believe. but if anyone out there could suggest what the problem is. failing that i will return the phone and swap it for the same model. i might of possibly just ended up with a duff battery sadly..
Sorry in advanced for the long thread.

Curious. I have my Z3 for 4 months now and I can say the battery is brilliant. There are weeks when a 100% charge give me a 2 and a half day usage (with stamina mode on and 4h 30m screen time). In the worst situations (when I'm using it very heavy,5-6 hrs screen time in a day) a 100% charge last from let's say 8 am untill next moring at 10 am. Anyway look at the battery usage data and post a screenshot. Do you have the sync on/off? What android are you using?

Hi thanks for the reply, i cannot post a screenshot sadly but i can tell you the details for sure. the battery usage isn't telling me anything right now bizarrely, it says it's not available. if i remember rightly i know the screen was taking the most at 37% and the android im using i believe you're asking the software version or something? Android 5.0.2

Damn thats the usage i want to be able to get out of my battery, sadly for some reason it's not displaying anything for me it did earlier but now it won't let me see anything which is odd i must say, but from what i remember is that the screen was 37% then it was the android OS at like 7% no biggie, maybe shall i let the juice run all the way out till the phone dies then give it a full charge then see what happens maybe?
Try some full discharge-recharge cycles. I remember my battery wasn't ao great when I first bought it. But neither that bad as you... Try that and come back after if you have the same issue

Yeah i think that might be the best bet, i'll give it to the weekend before i swap the phone see if i can get the phone to adjust, but failing that i will just get it swapped as it's only a day old. kinda disappointing tho lol as i was expecting it to be awesome as yours is and it literally lasts the same as an iphone would
So one night I left my phone off the charger at 40%... it was about 2am. I woke up at about 6am and the phone was completely dead. 4 hours of STANDBY drained 40%. So I thought I was just imagining things and compared my phone usage stats to my buddies who got the same phone at the same time. Here's a quick comparison... and mind you.. my numbers are after a FRESH factory reset with only stock app updates installed and maybe 2 or 3 of MY apps that I needed. I can't speak to what he's installed, but with these contrasts... I don't think it matters much.
Does anyone have some insight to this, similar experiences? I'm really thinking that I have a bad battery perhaps? I get usage varies by user but I really don't think this much especially considering that I intentionally let my phone just sit uncharged and unused for a good chunk of the day after it hit 100 and I pulled it from the charger.

Here's the Usage Stats from a *#*#4636#*#*.... nothing out of the ordinary
same carrier? Your signal may be horrid in comparison to his.
Could be location, could be carrier. Make sure to take a look. If your phone is struggling to keep a data connection you'll kill your battery easy.

Same carrier, we live down the street from each other. Signal strength according to the *#*#4636#*#* is -92dBm 48asu (whatever the asu part means)
Sorry I don't have anything to add but I had this plague in S7. My battery died very fast.
The S8 has been opposite for me. I was able to get 15 hours out of the battery using it all day (where 8 of it was in a really bad reception area).
I hope you get it sorted out. I could never figure it out with my S7. I did alot of research (all here)

I am planning on bringing it to the AT&T store and presenting my findings to them and demand a replacement. I know that I had no issue chatting AT&T support and getting a replacement but they say that since it's brand new, I need to get support from the AT&T store.

I don't know the battery life on mine is amazing 100% after 8hrs standby. and I was on my phone yesterday for 14hrs doing stuff and that brought me down to 5% from 100. I have most of the gestures and crap that drains the battery off though.
My point is if your not happy with your battery life there maybe something physically wrong with the battery or phone.
It's bound to happen a lot of people are buying these so not every phone is going to work as it should.

I agree completely that there is a battery issue. I've had a LOT of exposure to testing battery life, troubleshooting what impacts battery, etc... and I'm fairly confident there is some sort of battery issue. There are FAR too many people reporting stellar results for me not to as well. Even with how much I use use it, there was someone getting 40+ hours on battery... so I should be able to get 12 right after a factory reset... you'd think

Would love to know what his is. -92 isn't terrible but it's not great. You'd be amazed based on tower placement what even 50 feet can do, much less building materials, etc.
not saying this is for sure it, but i've been in this same situation with another carrier, was dead set it was the phone/battery and so were they, we tried 3 replacements before I gave up and determined it had to be a signal problem. Switched carriers and got the same exact phone, issue was gone.
Mine is exceptionally good. I get 0 to 1% drain overnight. My battery seems to last forever in the day. I don't think it's your signal. I have been in bad signal areas for long periods of time with this phone and no significant drain. I would definitely get a replacement and go from there. Good luck

No Issue on my S8+ till now :fingers-crossed:
Chk my Video in Signature
I had this problem, turned off location and always on display before heading to sleep, battery was at 96%. 9 hours later when I woke up, 93%. Before when I had both settings on, my phone dropped by 14 percent overnight. SOT is amazing so far, 2h 40 min at 74%. Will post pics when battery is almost dead.
P.S. - Compared to my Nexus 6 battery, I used to get 3 hours SOT before dying, looking good so far.
I went to the AT&T store and they hooked my phone up to a diagnostic machine and it said the charging system was defective. So new phone and fingers crossed.

Wasn't a rogue app, not after a factory reset. However the AT&T store validated there was a battery issue based on whatever test they used. Would like to get my hands on that testing app.....

I've recently noticed that the battery on my P3 seems to be dying. I've gone from 1.5 days of use at the start to 0.5 days. I also had some other issues with the port malfunctioning, so I managed to get a replacement under warranty.
Before I send my old unit back to Google, I decided to document how bad the battery has gotten to see if anyone is having similar issues with the phone at ~10mo of use.
Here's a screenshot of what battery looks like on it with a blank flash of stock, left it on airplane mode for the entire day and didn't use:

I bought mine used from Ebay so I have never seen "new" battery life..
Battery lasts less than a day but I have very poor cell reception.
On a new P3, does the 100% less the usage ever equate to current charge?

oh damn, that's a pretty big drop. i bought my pixel last december, but my had to RMA it. My current unit is bouncing between 3 to 5 hours of screen on time.
I do run always on display.
Roughly 3.5-4 hrs, which after playing with the mate 20 pro it really makes you jealous.
Mine is a year old today. Accubattery says that health is 90% (2615/2915 mAh) and will last 6h 26m SoT from 80% full based on cumulative averages. I manage charge to 80% with tasker.

Exactly the same for me. 2617/2915 mAh. I'm extremely disappointed with battery life, I can barely squeeze 4 hours of SoT now.

2586 mAh after one year. I would say that's ok, considering that I keep it plugged in over night. As for it's high consumption, i blame it on Android 10. I have no numbers, but it feels like I've lost 1/3 of the capacity since I got the phone...
5 hrs SOT with about 15% left. Kirisakura + Servicely
I was on lineageos, had more than a day. Since I'm back to stock, harshly have more than 12 hours

That is pretty poor. No degradation noticed on my year old Pixel 3. My wife's 3-year old Pixel is about what you are experiencing, and she is due for a battery replacement.

Johnny... please show us some new stats. Will it work around 15 hours with normal/medium usage? I'm afraid this battery... just battery ;/
Hi,
Normal/medium usage is different for everyone.
All I can say, is I was worried about be the battery size, but it has got me through the day just fine.
Depending on what apps I'm using and light gaming, I've been getting around 3.5 to 4.25 hours of screen on time.
I've averaged 16-22 hours of use even with my smart watched connected for around 6 hours a day.
We have to remember though, this is an early software version, so may improve over time.
For now battery life is very disappointing for me. Came from pixel 5 when I could leave the house with half the battery left and not worry. However, I am sure this can be improved but need some suggestions based on the below. I have google play services and carrier services that are draining quite a lot. Any idea how to pin those down/improve?
EDIT: clearly me being stupid after too much work. that's usage over the last 7 days and not 24 hours.... still battery life for me leaves something to be desired for now. I do lots of calls for work. after taking off the charge at 7am, I had to plug the phone back in at 6pm. will report towards end of the week to see if anything improves
Any news after few days of using?
Horrendous for me still after clearing caches and even turning off location. Google play services is at the top.
I need to charge twice a day. Comparing to Note 20 Ultra it's very disappointing. I am thinking about returning my Flip.

Yea. Mine lives on the charger. I get better life from my Galaxy Book. I'm assuming this will be fixed. I've seen a couple cases where people said they had better life on the Fold than note.
Had the Flip 3 for just over a week now.
Battery for me was acceptable yesterday, fair amount of camera use (mainly on 4G), and today so far is decent (mainly WiFi). At 80%, with 50mins SOT.
the only thing that did it for me was turning off 120hz refresh rate. sticking with 60hz visually hurts but it improves battery life a lot. it is now capable of getting me through the whole day easily and lasting around 24hrs. SOT is around 3 hours.

I need to charge twice a day. Comparing to Note 20 Ultra it's very disappointing. I am thinking about returning my Flip.

Wow. Are you heavy user?
Latest after going for a walk to get some beer, and I know it's sad . Did some Pokémon Go on the way.

No, more a moderate user. A couple of short WhatsApp video calls, 20 text message, some light gaming, 20-30 photos, and maybe 30-60 mins on Chrome.
I have 2 accounts for Google/Gmail syncing.

Not terrible for me . It's not the best, but good enough for me. Gets me through the day, even when on the mobile network.
I have some back ground Sammy apps disabled like Bixby.
It has definitely improved over the last couple of days.
screenshot attached now. again, this is with 60hz only.

Could try the app in the mods section, set it to 96 refresh rate.
I'm going to give it a go, and try setting it up with 96Hz, and 48Hz idle.

thanks, I will give it a go in about a week. just want to see a little more how it deals with my regular working week when I am always on the phone. will post later once i've checked that.
why 96 though and not 90?

90 not available, 48, 60, 96 and 120 are the options
Am I the only one losing 30 percent after an hour of SOT? Not even using the big screen? Almost all apps are asleep too. Absolutely nuts. I'm gonna have to carry a battery with me if I ever take this on vacation. It can't last a work day. I hit 30 percent before 11am from 85.
Wow!
I know it's not real world, but this is looking very good for battery life on the Flip 4.
From what I've seen and heard in 72 hour reviews on YouTube, the battery is much better than the 3. I'm hopeful.

I've gone from from 100% down to 74% in 12 hours so far, for my usage (Light/Moderate).
My Flip 3 would have been down to nearer 50 - 55%.
So far, so good
This is NOT a scientific appraisal, as every user has a different usage scenario.
1 week update.
Battery life has been so much better than my old Flip3 this last week.
My usual stats on the 3 were around 65-75% daily usage.
On the 4, it's showing my average usage is anywhere between 45-50% on a daily basis
Get mine tomorrow. If i get 4-5 hours SOT i would be thrilled.

Give us a review about the battery life!
real world tests show I get atleast 25-30% better batery life as well.
I had the flip 3 since release, battery life was pretty horrible. Have been running this flip 4 for a couple days and I can say the longer lasting battery is very noticable. The claimed better battery life is the main reason I decided to upgrade, along with the great trade in credit
I'm new in this gathering. I have a few inquiries regarding this gathering. These inquiries are displayed underneath:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/magisk-general-jackpotresulttoday-support-discussion.3432382/
My inquiry is about this string. Assuming that you have any data about this string. Kindly statement me and tackle my concern.

I used to get 4-5 hours of screen time on my flip3, but that would end the day on about 15% battery remaining (starting from 85%, as I had it set to stop charging to protect the battery).
I now get 4-5 hours screen time out of my flip4, and still have 40%+ battery left (also starting at 85%).
Still learning patterns etc for the adaptive battery and background apps and suchlike, so it may even get better.

I'm only getting 4 hours on my flip 4... DId you change any battery settings or settings at all to get better battery life? Thanks

OMG, that is very bad only a 4-hour battery is not enough for a day of usage! I'm getting the phone and hope there will be updates for good battery optimization!

My battery also is so bad
My battery is no better then my S22 which was horrible.
The battery in mine is also horrible. I got it on August 18, only charged it to 100% once, but according to AccuBattery the capacity is just above 3200 mAh (see below).
My primary reason for buying it was its 3700 mAh battery instead of the 3300 mAh in the Z Flip 3.

im getting the same in accubattery
I get between 4-6 SOT with mixed WiFi/LTE usage. Honestly what surprises me is that the Z Flip4 gets me more through the day vs my S22Ultra, but the WQHD+ and > screen explains it.
So the Flip4 would usually give me better SOT vs my S22U.
Battery not as good as my last phone, which was like carrying a brick, but seems good enough. My issue is I like to use wireless charging, and seems takes 12 hours to charge to 100 from 35percent battery. Going to try another brand charger, but current one supports flip 4 max charge rate.
Edit: Found issue, my wall plug was too old, didn't support higher amps out
Better than the flip 3 for me. I only charge to 85 percent before bed, unplug, then use through the day as needed. I'm in my computer for work more than my phone, so I'm not a mobile "power user" by any means. Have more than 20 percent at night when I plug it in usually. If I'm driving then I have it plugged in while I drive, so maybe the accounts for my good numbers.
