Ive already been using this phone since the first day you could buy it in Spain and yes, I know you can charge it in 40~ minutes, actually if you are at home there is no problem, all cool, but ive been leaving home two days in a row at 9:00, I put it in 60hz FHD and at 15:30 my battery already ran off... Yes, I use it, I use bluetooth, youtube, soundcloud, camera, etc... But I come from a One Plus 7 Pro and with 90hz config I could easily leave home at 9:00 and still have battery life at 23:00 or even 00:00 with a similar use. I really love all the other aspects of the phone, but this one screws my whole experience. Im really thinking about buying one plus 8T pro or iphone 12/12 pro when it comes out and sell this phone, I realised battery life is way too important for me, and I know I could use a portable battery to charge it in the street, but come on... Not gonna carry that in the pocket all the time. I'd like to know your impressions about this topic guys, thank you so much.

You may need to do a factory reset....?
I get up at 05.10 every day and get home at 15.50 120Hz/QHD+, Bluetooth, 5G(Amsterdam) deezer, calls, photo and always have around 45-55%

Mmm using it? Or in the pocket and looking it barely 3 or 4 times, man, i dont want to doubt it but sounds strange to me... Ive been looking for people screen times and no one gets that many screen time hours at 120hz QHD+... You have brightness at the minimum maybe? What firmware version you got? Thank you
Battery life is not good I would be honest. Never lasted me a day if I play games now even a half day.
Oppo have done amazing working tuning the display, far more superior than the OnePlus 8 Pro, I leave my house at 10am & return at 6-7pm, consistently with 20%+ left, on QHD, 120hz, using social media apps, banking, NFC, Bluetooth, music & 5G on at all times (other than when WiFi is available)...
In short battery life is amazing for me, Oppo nailed the optimization :good:
Awful battery life
Oppo needs to improve the battery life of Oppo find X2 pro ASAP !!!!
Max 4 hours of SOT is really bad !
I reported this problem to the German oppo customer service one week ago but still no response !
The battery life of OnePlus 8 pro after the latest update has improved the battery life (6-8 hours of SOT).
Oppo just do something you're selling a smartphone that is more expensive than iPhone pro max !!!!
I'm a super heavy user that plays many games, even heavy 3D games like Mortal Kombat Mobile for many hours, while playing videos over YouTube Vanced picture in picture sometimes, too.
No matter what I do, even when I brainlessly put the brightness as high as Mt. Everest, where it would burn every vampire to death and constantly playing Mortal Kombat Mobile over 5ghz WLAN, the phone keeps its accu power. 4:14h of constant playing MK (99% SOT) was the worst one losing 71% accu and that was with death ray burning brightness instead of normal or low brightness (which is actually 'normal' brightness on this display).
The longest run with heavy usage (37% SOT) was 18:05h where it lost 97% accu and the longest run with normal usage (24% SOT) was 18:29h where it lost 55% accu... That's with Global latest version (2025.11A24), standard settings, dark mode, location on, always-on-display, bluetooth+NFC off, energy saving @20%, 120hz+3k, Microsoft SwiftKey with black theme and using accu killers like Facebook, graphic-heavy games, YouTube and stuff...
So whatever you do, you are doing it wrong or something you installed is keeping your phone awake, when your phone can't handle a few hours without using it... Maybe you are simply 'think' you handle it right, but using it in an extreme way like graphic-heavy gaming with full brightness on top of that and think that's normal use. Normal use is sometimes phone someone, write a few messages every hour, look on the clock, play a game for maybe 30 minutes or searching for something special and reading a few news - that's 'normal usage' that doesn't really puts the battery in stress. Even when you are a long runner that writes 12 hours in one action (like I do), your display won't mess up the battery and you have enough battery to get over the day...
What you should do:
>Lower the display brightness (somewhere around the sun in the bar is 'normal' brightness and it really gets dark first around 5% brightness in the night)
>use dark mode for all apps
>put Facebook and Instacrap in normal state - especially Facebook is well known for killing battery life, while not using it (apps>facebook>don't start automatically + don't allow in background). These apps getting worse and worse from year to year.
>no automatic updates in Google Play (developers are just making frequent updates to stay in the top list of Google Play, that's why it doesn't make sense to have it on auto-update, because it kills your battery, overstresses electric facilities and never touch a running system if it ain't getting faster or better. Only update when something is 'not' working!)
>always charge your battery between 20-70% if you want it to live 'always' like Bon Jovi and Erasure, only make a full charge when you 'really' need it and never charge over night. Better: install an app like 'AccuBattery' that helps you with that (since the phone has 2 accus its normal max mah will be around 2055mah, but will function normal like it has the double).
>take off Bluetooth and NFC - they are accu killers and you don't need it anyway, while an open NFC is the best way to let you pay everyones bills, when you are in the city and hold their device near your phone. Just use NFC when you are temporarily need it.
get 4 hours SOT at least an hour gaming. And after 14 hours of the day i still have 40% left. I reckon it's one of your apps causing the problem. Install GSAM and use ADB to grant it access and find out what the problem is.
How can I grant permission via adb? It doesn't seem to work with the app's commands. Adb Devices indicates that it is connected, but the commands result in an error message. Must I be special activate in the developer settings, except usb debugging?

Another issue with the phone is that under the sun the fingerprint sensor is unusable.
I think I'll go back to OnePlus 8 pro or even to iPhone pro max. Its battery is amazing!!!

I just uninstalled facebook, who cares, no one uses facebook nowadays lul, I never use it, only instagram, thank you all.
Personally I get between 6.5 and 8hrs SOT (6.5 if gaming and 8 if not)
I use FHD, 120Hz, Auto Brightness.
I have fine tuned settings, turned off wifi and bluetooth scanning, have location off if not used, same with BT and Data.
As for the fingerprint reader, it's pretty good but as like all Oneplus phones with the same scanner, it's hit or miss sometimes.
Therefore I use face unlock which works with Google pay and works 100% of the time even with my face mask on.
Now if only I could get a decent Gcam and June security patch.

Coming from a Xiaomi Mi 10 with its 4700mah battery and 1080p 90hz screen, the battery life on the oppo has been abysmal.
I use auto brightness and I'm indoors 90% of the time so my brightness is really low.
The same usage on the Mi 10 would give me 10 hours SOT but the Oppo barely gives 5 hours SOT. This usage is mainly Google play books, social media, and Google Chrome.

Lets see that monster
As i posted on my first impressions:
Here we are, my first full battery cycle . I'm sure you will get better SOT than me, my gps usage was about 3h , spotify , bluetooth , android wear, high brightness , apps updates , downloads etc.. and this is what i got.
I notice you can get better results, why? Well, with my one plus one and my usage i got 4h of SOT, and most people could get easily 6h , with my SG6 edge i get around 3h SOT and most people got 4h / 4.30h , those are my daily results, with my normal usage statistics , if i wanted i could make it better, way better.. but thats not the case.
That's an impressive result. 5 hour SoT on 5.5' is great nevertheless and you claim that the phone was under heavy usage.
I need to ask though; have you done any Greenify/Powernap/Amplify? I would guess no as I doubt you are even rooted but your wakelock status seems impressive; almost nothing while the screen was off. That means the software optimization is really good.
BTW, X Play does not come with a Turbo charger, right? How long does it last to fully charge with its own charger?
Maybe after 4-5 days of usage, you may start getting better SOT? I thought it could easily touch 6-7 hours, nevertheless this is great.

telegram drains so much i just unistall it

It really is impressive, consider i'm using with almost full bright . No settings for battery saving, no greenify nothing, just my usually apps . It comes with turbo charger , and it charges fast on it, but when using with a car charger or a power bank , it take forever to charge.

Damn, not bad.
Well for me.. this was perfect since I was always charging my phone (HTC M8) and I hated the camera in general so this is a huge upgrade. I think I charged it once for like an hour or so because it had went down to 34% and I wanted to keep it anywhere between 40-80%. I haven't had to use it for too much- I generally just use it to browse FB, Instagram (haven't installed yet- only on the chrome ver), messenger and now have a launcher. Still pretty good because it lasted 2 days (34% when I wanted to charge it) easily and also said it had more than a day left of charge.
I don't have my batter screen short but My phone's batter was superb & it almost used to run for one day.
I did well yesterday
First day - on wifi webrowsing with crome, facebook, youtube + 2 hour mx player - I1m satisfied with this
First full cycle, everything turned on 100% of time (wifi, 4g, gps, location). Also, brightness level set around 70% with adaptive brightness turned on.
I noticed some wakelocks and Goggle Play services sometimes runs in background without reason.

I was wondering if somebody could share his/her experience with the Mi 4c regarding battery life.
As I am a heavy user and don´t want my phone to die on me on 2pm I´d really apreciate it if somebody could tell me how good the battery life is on this phone.
I'm also a heavy user and i'm happy with the batterylife on MIUI. I get the same as i got with my Sony Z1 Compact, and those Compact phones are known for their good batterylife. I mean if you come from a phone with 5000 mAh battery then you might be dissapointed i think
No, its really good. I had other phones which i had to recharge sometimes more than 2 times a day, but the Mi4c brings me through the day
So yesterday I had about 6 hours of screen on time, and it was off the mains from 8:30 am to 1 am, i.e. 14.5 hours. Three to four hours of 3G, half an hour of GPS tracking, and otherwise mainly chatting and browsing and using a few apps. This beat my every expectation, my previous phones would last barely 10 hours with only 4 hours of screen on time.
Edit: this is with Cyanogenmod. MIUI didn't seem to cut me such slack, especially not when Google Sync was on (which always timed out because I'm in China where Google is blocked).
---------- Post added at 03:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 AM ----------
I did notice, however, that once the phone goes dead because of an empty battery, it won't start until you actually charge it for a few minutes first. Or it may start and die straight away. My Nexus 5 would always still start with an empty battery.
Gsmarena battery life test
Gsmarena did run few test on Mi4C. Here are the results:
Endurance rating: 52h
Talk time: 18:31h
Web browsing: 9:32h
Video Playback: 10:47h
For comparison (LG G2, Xiaomi Mi 4, LG G4:
LG G2 (3000mAh)
Endurance rating: 81h
Talk time: 25:15h
Web browsing: 11:42h
Video Playback: 9:28h
Xiaomi Mi 4 (3080mAh)
Endurance rating: 68h
Talk time: 18:15h
Web browsing: 9:31h
Video Playback: 7:00h
LG G4 (3000mAh)
Endurance rating: 54h
Talk time: 16:40h
Web browsing: 7:54h
Video Playback: 7:23h
Web browsing and video playback times are very good on Mi4C but endurance rating is rather low. That means that Mi4C consumes quite a bit battery in standby. However that is easily fixed with couple tweaks. It seems that Mi4C have good battery life :good:
CM12.1 battery use attached. It's weird that (as I've said on a reddit review) standby battery use is pretty low for me, though the meter does seem to drop quickly when I use the phone. I think the battery might need calibrating, but it seems good enough got my needs!
For those who can't see the attached screenshots: 16hrs off charger, 2hrs 38mins SOT, mixture of browsing reddit, chrome and MX Player
I'm considering to get the mi4c to replace my Nexus 5 just for the battery life.
Is it worth to lose NFC, wireless charging and LTE (no 800 band)?

I think these questions can only be answered by yourself...for me, NFC is not important, i never used it in my other phones. And do you need wireless charging when you get through the day with one charge? Also, i personally dont use LTE because i find 3G is fast enough on a phone.
Over all those things i really prefer battery life. I once had a Sony Xperia V, with very poor battery life and i had to switch to 2G when i was home and used WiFi, or turn WiFi off when i was outside. And much more, just to save a bit off battery. Then i bought a Sony Z1 Compact and i didnt had to do all those things, which was really a joy. Just leave everything on and get through the day. And its the same with my Mi4c. No need for battery savers, tasker or such things anymore
But like i said, you might prefer other things.
You guys are using the unoficial cm 12.1 build or which cm rom ? could you pls post a link to the rom please? i am using the developer miui rom and the battery is very bad

Yes, the unofficial CM12.1, its the only one at the moment
One last thing about this cm 12.1 rom, how is the camera quality ? and with the miui 5.10.22 developer rom i am experiencing a weird issue with messenger, when i get a new message and i open to see it, if i already had messenger opened i dont see the new message, i have to click the back button to go to friend list, then it like refreshes, and if i go back to the chat, i can see the message.
Thanks

I was really surprised about the camera quality. All CM ROMs on other phones had a very poor picture quality compared to the stock roms. And camera is very important for me. Our unofficial CM12.1 has the same picture quality like MIUI in my opinion. No idea how the dev made this happen, but its great
Regarding the messenger, maybe its an app problem and not a MIUI problem? I don't know...
Thanks a lot, I am really thinking about flashing, eventhough I have always been afraid to flash unoficial builds, since I dont understand how they make them without the kernel sources. But the battery life is so horrible on the developer rom
So far, battery life is respectable for me as a second phone. 1.5 days off the charger, a bit less then 4.5 hours SOT, mostly YouTube, web browsing, offline game. Stock stable chinese MIUI 7 ROM, rooted and greenify.

Totally agree and this with CM, where normally battery life is bad
guys battery life is special bad when in options of wifi is on scanning always available.
i use miui xiaomi.eu rom number 5,10,22 and i finde it best at the moment.
1.58minutes of gps 38min of talk 4g on all day about 30min browsing and on the end of the day stil 35% about 2h of sot.
My battery life is pretty good. Regardless of whatever I do during the day, I can easily squeeze 4 hours SoT from the phone. My battery depletes the fastest whenever I listen to music while keeping 4G on the entire time as my phone is rarely in deep sleep, and idle battery usage becomes higher than screen usage. This is actually one of the more annoying issues; my music player seems to drain quite a bit of the battery as MediaServer is always on even when I'm not playing music - the app icon stays in the notification bar unless I actually terminate the app.
The best I got out of the phone was, according to the attached images, 5 hours SoT at 39% battery. This was with WiFi on the entire time, screen to about half brightness and middling reception quality.
I'm currently running the 5.10.8 MIUI EU weekly build. Quite interested in flashing CM12.1 when the bugs get cleaned up.

Yes, I use all of those. Keep in mind this is pretty abnormal for my phone. Typically, it would be around 3.5-4 hours of SoT at 40% battery, so you shouldn't get your hopes up too much. From memory, all I was doing was Reddit and some web surfing, with Whatsapp, Gmail and Messenger set to sync while phone was asleep. If I were listening to music, the battery drain would've been quite a bit more. And there were wakelocks but they don't really show on the stat screen.

I have a problem with CM and Mokee..The battery drops 2% for time (Instead of 1) very often..And i can do only 3 h of active display..In idle the battery doesn't drop down a lot..It can stay also an hour on 100%, but then when I turn on the screen it drops 3-4%..Can anyone help me to solve this problem?
Hi guys,
Background: I use my phone I'd say medium use. Clash of clans, videos and photos browsing, emails, whatsapp. But i hate to put anything off so 4G location bluetooth everything always on. My note 4 has been amazing with its removable battery allowing me to use a phone in this way amd has revolutionised the enjoyment i get out of it. No more switching on and off bluetooth or gps. No worries in the world. Now i need a new one with a big screen and decent enough cam and the only option with removable battery is the LG V20 which to be fair looks a decent phone. However I also see the Mate 9 and whilst it doesn't have removeable battery it has a sensible screen res and a 4000mah battery meaning it should last a full day no worries. And I prefer the faster Kirin 960 and the bokeh camera setup.
The issue: i was on the verge of ordering it when I came across techzillas 1 month review where basically trashes the battery. Yes he's a heavy user but he's comparing it to other phones which do better with his same use.
I don't understand. Is it his firmware? Has the issue been sorted? Is the battery not that great afterall? Id be buying from wondamobile so id be getting whatever international rom they use. Shall I just play it safe and get the lesser V20 if I'm going to keep all things on?
For me it seams that with the b156 firmware the battery is not as good as before. But still excellent I use my phone a lot and most of the time I manage a full day with out charging. I get around 8 hours screen time. I never play games on my phone but use it mostly for productivity and browsing. Occasionally I watch some movies , YouTube and listen to tidal.
Most of the time I use very low brightness as I prefer this for reading.

Ah.. I'm new to this of concept of SOT. I don't know how it works. I can't imagine anyone sitting there staring at their phone literally for 8 hours! I work in the day and use it every now and then there, then when home when the wife isn't having a spazz at me for daring to go on the phone I use it now and then for using Kodi remote and youtube etc... I don't know how much screen on time that'd equate to.
Do you keep all things like bluetooth and GPS and 4G on or do you have to be careful with it like with all my old phones in order to get a full day? With my Note 4 as I say a breath of fresh air that I could keep everything on and just change battery once I got home.
Everything is on, during the day I mostly use 4G. The reason I get between 6 and 8 hours is because I have to do a lot of emailing and maintaining appointments etc for my work and blackberry hub is so good in emailing (mush better than the outlook my company uses) I use my phone for that instead of my laptop. Also I do lots of reading both work an pleasure related.
If i have slow days I can manage two days on one charge easily. In short the mate 9 has an excellent battery. I'm never thinking about the battery as I did with my old phones it seems to be even better than my old BlackBerry Passport
It's the best battery life of any phone I have used. Mine is on 4g all day with GPS and bluetooth always on.
My previous best phone was the Note 4 that I had to charge every night. I only have to charge the Mate 9 on alternate nights however hard I use it.
I have other issues with the Mate 9, but the battery is certainly not one of them.

Also I do lots of reading both work an pleasure related.
If i have slow days I can manage two days on one charge easily. In short the mate 9 has an excellent battery. I'm never thinking about the battery as I did with my old phones it seems to be even better than my old BlackBerry Passport

Wow ok that's surprising. No idea what this techzilla dude is on about then on youtube. He seems quite an honest and credible chap so I wonder if it's firmware related or perhaps he got a dud.

It's the best battery life of any phone I have used. Mine is on 4g all day with GPS and bluetooth always on.
My previous best phone was the Note 4 that I had to charge every night. I only have to charge the Mate 9 on alternate nights however hard I use it.
I have other issues with the Mate 9, but the battery is certainly not one of them.

As above, I'm surprised it's this good after the techzilla trashign of the battery on youtube. You wouldn't know yur firmware would you?
What are your issues with it? I hear low light cam performance isn't excellent but it isn't great with my Note 4 either and I can't imagine it's ever satisfactory with the size of lens you can get on any phone. I'm looking to use the Bokeh effect for nice pics of my daughter, is this bit at least working well?

It certainly seems from what you guys are saying that this beast will live from morning to evening without even needing a charge for my sort of use even with everything on. Sounds really awesome and might have swung be back into getting this over the V20 again.

I'm on L29C432B156. I haven't noticed any loss of battery life after two upgrades.
I think I have to most recent one. All I can think of maybe the guy plays allot of games or has some rogue app on his phone eating all the battery life. In any case most reviews are positive about the battery so if one dude that dislikes it does sound like an isolated incident.

Yeah the more I look into it the more I think this is the case.
He seems like a nice decent likable chap who I'm assuming doesn't have a bias either way. But according to his "heavy use", when people say they're getting much better battery than his alleged figures he defines in his comments his heavy use as:
" i stream music from Spotify, watch YouTube, i have 5 email accounts syncing constantly, i get around 1000 emails an hour, 7 to 800 Telegram msgs an hour, fb,twitter, instagram, fb msg, /google Plus, snapchat, youtube studio, surfing the web, a couple of hrs phone calls, text messages, XDA, 500 Whats App msgs per Hour. This is how i test batterty life, and for me the Mate 9 can't deliver more than 6hrs SOT"
All I can say to that is WOW! Who on earth links five emails, gets 1000 emails AN HOUR, 100s of telegrams whatever they are, 500whatsapp messages PER HOUR (I mean that's one every 7.2 seconds!!!!). with loads of other stuff running and TWO HOURS of calls etc etc.. If doing all that with everything on he's getting 6 hours SOT then I can say I'm mightily impressed with it! Even heavy users wouldn't be be using it that much I'm sure. And if he can honestly say he gets the same SOT with iphones and samsungs with more powerful screens and smaller batteries all I can say is at worst I frankly don't believe it, at best he's got a dud Mate 9 or more likely all the aforementioned phones are awesome and we have nothign to worry about as 6 hrs SOT with a whatsapp message every 7.2seconds and an email every 3.6seconds plus all the other **** running is very respectable.
Personal experience over the Note 5. this thing kills battery life expectancies.
The Note 5 with:
BT ON Connected to huawei watch
GPS off
No Autosync
All apps killed
No calls
15 texts per day max
Packages disabled
1-2 hours of screen use tops
I Got maximum 13 hours. I get up every day at 8am and by 7-745 its nearly dead doing next to nothing. Android will not sleep and samsung refuses to accept its their software. My Mate 9, buds Moto Z play both on tmobile never have issues. he gets 8-9 hours screen time i get 8-9 hours screen time charge once every 2-3 days.
My Settings are EXACTLY the same with the exception of:
BT off when not using my Sony M1000x headphones.
300+ textsPer day.
No calls
Checking FB via Metal for FB
Email in Gmail 5-6 times a day
Camaro Forums via chrome browser
Instagram
Spotify + many more apps
And i never have issues. Granted i exchanged it because the B156/157 idk which one ruined battery. i have a B138 fw now and it works flawlessly. Its pathetic samsunbg phones barely make it through the day even when NOT used. Im dropping samsung and sprint very soon.
@applehater00
If your main consideration is battery life I do not think you will be disappointed.
But for what it is worth I will tell you the points I do not like about the Mate 9.
The vibration is very weak.
The notification light is tiny and almost invisible except in the dark.
The GPS is poor and no good for sports use.
There are various problems with notifications and some email apps don't work properly.
All these problems are discussed in this forum.

Strange though because people are saying the B156 one is fine. Opposite to your experience.
Maybe the battery just goes crazy and dies at some point?

Hi guys,
Background: I use my phone I'd say medium use. Clash of clans, videos and photos browsing, emails, whatsapp. But i hate to put anything off so 4G location bluetooth everything always on. My note 4 has been amazing with its removable battery allowing me to use a phone in this way amd has revolutionised the enjoyment i get out of it. No more switching on and off bluetooth or gps. No worries in the world. Now i need a new one with a big screen and decent enough cam and the only option with removable battery is the LG V20 which to be fair looks a decent phone. However I also see the Mate 9 and whilst it doesn't have removeable battery it has a sensible screen res and a 4000mah battery meaning it should last a full day no worries. And I prefer the faster Kirin 960 and the bokeh camera setup.
The issue: i was on the verge of ordering it when I came across techzillas 1 month review where basically trashes the battery. Yes he's a heavy user but he's comparing it to other phones which do better with his same use.
I don't understand. Is it his firmware? Has the issue been sorted? Is the battery not that great afterall? Id be buying from wondamobile so id be getting whatever international rom they use. Shall I just play it safe and get the lesser V20 if I'm going to keep all things on?

whatever the reason is i bet every user have diff usage n diff type of apps running in their phone,but all i can say this phone can last me from 7.30 til 11.30pm with everything on(except for BT n NFC) and most of the time i m on 4g,i can get 6-7 hours of SOT with whatsapp,email,telegram heavy chrome browsing,youtubing,xda-ing,some gaming(coc,skyforce).and when i wanted to go tl bed at 11.30 it still have 20% left

The GPS is fine for ordinary driving use, and it gets a fix very quickly. But there are some serious issues that Huawei aren't mending.
Read through this thread for details. https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/help/gps-problems-stats-reports-t3508213
Sorry I can't help you with gmail as I don't use it on this phone.
Right now I have 89% left, 10 hours active, 33 mins SOT. I think I got 7h SOT yesterday and still 50% left.
Compared to my Note 4 which barely lasts 12 hours, and that's idle time.

Ah i see thanks.
Thats disappointing. I may wish ti get back into cycling and if it cant track my ride accurately it sounds like a dud. How ridiculous! Just as i was about to buy one another problem pops up.
I wonder if huawei just aren't ready for making phones...!
It's a shame, yes. There are of course many good things about the Mate 9. They just let it down on a few things.
my mate 9 gets 9-10 hours of heavy use - granted i have some mods and tweaks
I upgraded from my SD S10 to Note 20 Ultra Dual Sim Exynos couple weeks ago and Im getting dismal battery performance with about 2h35 to 3h15 of SoT, and I noticed the standby drain is pretty bad.
Before judging me: Yes I am fully aware of the whole Exynos 990 v Snapdragon thing, but because I couldnt get my hand on a dual sim N20U with SD so I settled with the exynos version, which I have seen people claiming getting about 5 hours of SoT vs. over 6 hours of SoT on the SD, and I would totally happy with 5 hr considering my usage. But barely getting over 3 hours of SoT is just plain stupid considering the price I paid for it.
I love everything else on the N20U, but having to carry around a power bank all the time is really annoying. Is anyone experiencing the same issue and any luck on fixing this? I am not sure if it is a software issue.
P/S: I attached a couple of screenshots for Battery Usage and Gsam Battery report. I did just reset my phone yesterday to see if the performance improves, no luck. I also did all the battery optimization settings + limit all background usage on all unnecessary app, including facebook and other social media apps..
I have the same phone, and i have the same problems... 2-3 Sot maximum. And i hate it.
If i turn off adaptive screen, turn down to minimal resolution and turn on battery saving only the standby drain gets better. The sot stays the same.
Every unnecessary app is in deep sleep, so nothing much more that I can do.
But if you find something out for a solution please share.
Until then I have to carry a powerbank also.
I considered to sell it and buy a pixel 5 , but the Note20U price dropped brutally, so it would be a waste to sell it.
Stay strong !

I dont know how are people claiming 5 hours of SoT for the Exynos version. I realized most of the claims were made back when it was running One UI 2.5. Not much reviews on battery life on One UI 3 so I am thinking it is software-related. Waiting for samsung to release 3.1 for N20U.
I use the phone to take notes a lot since I am on the go most of the time. I also do some recreational video editing on the phone and it is serving me well. It is unfortunate that the battery is performing like ****
Main is remaining for more than 10 hours of SOT without playing games, 7 to 8 hours while heavy gaming

Yes it's Exynos android 11 UI3, most of the time on power saving mode, usual settings nothing new screen always 60hrz, window animation .5, apps not in regulars use always on sleeping mode, stop Sync but need apps, stop receiving notification but for used apps, using ad block, standard display mode, wifi throttling, multicore packet schedule and other option can reduce battery consumption
Stop using third party apps speacialy for system tweaks after that use battery calibration to get the best battery consumption, screen shot taken just now
4g owners, is there solution for root android 11?
Anyone done?
After a month of using the note 20 ultra 4G exynos 990, I decided to swap it for a 5G snapdragon 865+ version. Got a good deal for trading in my 4G so I pulled the trigger.
Same exact app setup and usage, minimal battery saving tweaking => I managed to get 5+ hours of SoT right out of the bat! One UI 3.0. That's a whole 2 extra hours of SoT on the first day of usage and I believe it's gonna get better over time.
U.S. Unlocked 512gb - Snap Dragon Stock Settings - FHD
The Biggest Boost to the Battery Life came from Removing the Facebook App and accessing it thru the browser instead. Still have Facebook Messenger installed. Adaptive Battery ON, Processing Speed Optimized and FHD Resolution with Motion Smoothness at Adaptive.
Another upshot with accessing FB via browser is you don't get all the ads. Which is why the FB app uses so much battery.

Weird that you brought it up. I deleted the Facebook app and started using it on the browser for that very reason. There was this Dr. Ad with a banana pic and no matter what I tried I couldn't get it to go away. It kept coming back and was annoying I couldn't control it. Then after I deleted the Facebook app I noticed the battery life was way better so I did another test and hence this thread was born.

Well lets collaborate on that here? Anyway no I don't use the AOD Notify. Is that the app that makes the flashy light around the camera hole when you get a notification?
What I do is use (always on) but set to only show when notifications come in. So the screen is blank until I get a text or email then it shows up on always on display and then when I read it then it goes blank screen again. That works for me.

Absolutely, we van use this thread! =)
Yes, it's an app to blink in several ways. I use the one that a circle around the front camera hole (eco blink). The issue with aod is that you can't see if there's a notification just by taking a quick look to the camera hole without taking the phone from your pocket, right?
You need to look the whole screen to see the notifications. Aod also let you change colors according to app, so just by looking I can identify a WhatsApp message or a missed call.

If that thing flashing the whole time in your pocket until you see it then yeah I would think that would be a big battery drain. I only have one social media app and that Facebook. Then I got the basic Phone App, IP Relay App (Because I am Deaf) Text Messages App and Facebook Messenger App. Because I am now using Facebook on the browser and don't have any other social media apps that probably has a lot to do with why my battery life is 10 hours SOT and 14 hours Off. I guess it like Virgo_Guy and the others said about Social media apps being battery hogs. Also WQHD Resolution eats up battery and makes phone run hotter especially when you out in the summer heat. I noticed mine was getting a little hot the other day and switched down to FHD Resolution and it got cooler.

Well I was in a hot car when it was doing that. When your bright sun light, it's 95 degrees outside and the screen is in WQHD and at full brightness so you can see the screen it will get hot. Other than that circumstance no it doesn't get hot but it does drain the battery faster. It's a fact of life. The higher the resolution the more the drain. Mines on adaptive.

Ok, I'll agree with you there. I'm in Texas and the heat/sun is insufferable so if I'm going to look at my phone outside I'm finding some shade 1st!
I still can't understand how you all get 6, 7 or 10 hours of SOT.
I went through all the guides and disabled every nonsense, configured bixby routines to go to power saving in certain situations etc.. And still at the end of the day I'm close to zero battery with just 3-4 hours of SOT at best.
Are you just watching youtube the whole day connected to wifi or what? No LTE? No BT? No Location? Low brightnes? No games? No camera?
And I'm not blaming S22 Ultra. That happened to every Galaxy Note I had in the past (no more than 3-4hrs of SOT).

I used LTE and 5G for mobile. Had it on all day. But was mostly at home or work and streaming over WiFi connections. Processing Speed is set to Optimized and using Adaptive Battery. Power saving is off. But I'm not a gamer so the settings in Game Launcher are still at standard optimization and Alternative Game Performance Management is disabled. So pretty much the stock Settings. I also only have one social media app and I access that (Facebook) thru the browser although Messenger App is still installed. I think social media apps cause a big drain on the phone. The other thing I have is the Resolution set to FHD instead of WQHD.
Also don't have my Netflix, HBOmax, Hulu, Disney+, Paramount+ installed on Phone as I watch those on my Galaxy Tab 7+ or the TV.
So basically I am just using the phone For Texting, YouTube, Browser, Camera etc. Things that don't use a lot of power such as Gaming, Social Media etc. If your a heavy gamer and got 5 or 6 social media apps on your phone your results are going to be drastically different especially if you got the Exynos version.
If you have Facebook installed that's a huge battery drain cause of all the ads. Try uninstalling some of your social media apps that can be accessed thru the browser and see how that goes. And when you not gaming try settings of optimized and standard instead of maximum.

Those are really incredible SoT you got there. Mine is about 8h.
It is enough, but we always want more hahaha. How are your sleeping apps config? Do you put everything in deep sleep?
I noticed there are apps. like Find My Mobile, that always appears on the list when I use Device care. Do you do something about those background apps?
@bat0nas I'm doing almost nothing... I keep Bt and location on, 120 Hz screen. The only thing that I'm doing to get more battery is using "Put unused apps to sleep" setting, which I don't even know how much battery it saves. Oh, and adaptative battery.
EDIT: Paul_Deemer , my settings are basically the same as yours. But I stay a LOT more in LTE than wifi, since I'm working presentially and only turn on wi-fi at night when I got home. I dont use social media other than Whatsapp and Instagram. I don't game often. If I do game or use too much camera one day it will probably not last that long.
The aodNotify app and aod consumes about 1,5-2% each every day. It's 3-5% total, which isn't much, but could be better.
Location is on for me but I turned Bluetooth off when it's not needed like when phone is connected to the car. Rest of time it's off. Don't see Find my Mobile using power and it not disabled so maybe the auto settings putting it to sleep I dunno. Considering how much Mobile time your using during the day with no WiFi available like me at work and that you have two social media apps installed and are occasionally gaming I think you SOT is about as good as it gonna get. I wouldn't be unhappy with your SOT based on your usage patterns.

Well, I seldom game, and when I do is for about 20-30min tops. However i do stay at LTE for almost the whole day. Is there much difference between using LTE and Wifi?
If you count discord and telegram as social media, then I have 4, lol. But I don't use them as much as Whatsapp and Instagram. Indeed, Find My Mobile isn't in the usage list.
I'd like to know how much battery is consumed when screen is off, but I'm not sure settings can do that. Do I need an app for that?
I saw this little quote on the web and it fits with what people are saying about 5g being a battery hog. Not using any special apps for battery management . There are plenty available though. Just do a search on Google.
You may notice that your phone's battery drains faster than usual while you are connected to a 5G network. This is a limitation of the current 5G networks, and will be improved as the networks expand.
Oh one other important thing to note. When I did that test above that was with Protect Battery Off. Meaning it went from a Full 100% Charge down to 10%. I now have it back to Protect Battery which means it only charging to 85%. So naturally you gonna lose a bunch of time with it not charging to the full 100%.
