I upgraded to the S22 Ultra from an S20 FE 5G.
Is it normal to burn through 30% battery use with an hour and 30 mins of screen on time primarily scrolling through old FB messages on messenger, and friends lists (no videos, few photos). Brightness was at 25%. Extra dim is on, extra brightness is off. WQHD+ on. Adaptive motion smoothness on.
It feels like this phone burns through the battery much much faster than my S20 FE.
Switched over to tiktok and was on it for 4 minutes with the same settings. I went from 40% to 36% in just 4 mins.
There are other threads that address this same topic. Battery life is something that with these new devices take a while to get "to the point". Battery and system need about a week to learn your usage pattern and determine how to distribute power (as I have read). I got my device yesterday and it's still to early to issue an honest opinion on the battery life, I don't complaint at this moment as I know it will take a while for this to "calibrate" to my usage and needs.
btw TikTok will always drain more battery as you are basically streaming video on a huge ass screen so it is a power consuming task.
I find battery life generally poor to awful. I'm on 5th day. No change. No draining apps. Nothing unusual.
Same with me. Got my device on Monday.. now im finally seeing how much usage i will get on a full charge.
100% - 17hrs remaining. Sigh.
That March update needs to come quickly. Most of us had this same issue last year with the s21 ultra when it launched.

It doesn't take a week. It takes 2-3 days to learn patterns. Or are you saying after it learns your patterns it takes a few additional days. My s22 ultra stopped giving me the learning patterns message after two days, and it predicted I would have 17 hours of battery life. I ended up having about 12. The battery life on this phone is abysmal. I had atleast a day on the s21 ultra. Even the people showing high amounts of screen on time, are only getting about 18 hours. That is not a day, that's still short 6 hours. Something is seriously long with the battery consumption. Oh, and I have a snapdragon which is supposed to be better, but clearly snapdragon has done a terrible job with this year's chip as far as heat and battery efficiency.
Most people require 6-8 hours of sleep to function in the real world so 18 hours battery life will satisfy 95% of users.

Based on past experiences (N20U and S21U) after it "learned" it still worked on optimizing performance. I have not experienced heating issues on Snapdragon S22U. Battery is not bad, could be better of course, but then again, I think it matches S21U in how much it lasts.

Fair enough, but why are we making excuses for Samsung. I've had an s7 edge, an S10 plus, and S20 ultra, and S21 Ultra and now this one. All of those versions were exynos which were worse than Snapdragon on battery life, and all gave me over a day of battery life.
Are we seriously giving Samsung a pass because a person doesn't stay up for 18 hours?
As I mentioned mine isn't even that high. After learning patterns, mine said 18 hours. I ended up getting 12 hours on that day. Inexusable. This is a snapdragon variant that I have.

I'm not giving it a pass at all as I havent received mine yet. However if I find it's performance unacceptable I'll simply return it for refund and get on with my life.
If you optimize it, it is the same.
Go to app info and set apps as restricted battery usage.
Also turn off apps on Usage Data Access.
Change to LTE if you are on wifi at home, set a routine.

Good point, Samsung stated the 4nm chipset improved "efficiency" by 30% which implies battery life would improve significantly. Samsung's touted a number of specs for the S22 which have failed to materialize.
In my experience with Samsung phone's I find that even after the initial learning phase has concluded the battery tends to drop pretty fast from 100% to around 75% and then stabilises.

My battery underperformed after I updated to April ... now I've applied the May update so let's see how it goes.
Snapdragon btw.
I have big problems with battery..In the first 2 weeks it was fine, but after those 2 weeks the battery life it's awful..Can't get more than 5h SOT even with social media apps uninstalled, I'm starting to hate this phone, it's worse than my ex S20+

So I want to know if you all have similar experiences..
I have Galaxy S9+ 128 GB Exynos Version - ALL STOCK
The screen on continuous use battery consumption is very good... it drains 13.5-14.5% per hour at max with location, 4G on.... Which means it can get to around 7 Hrs of Screen-on time easily.... even more if we use low powered media apps like youtube, netflix etc....
However, the screen off battery drain is relatively high...
A standard day has around 10-12 hours of standby time when you are out and moving with 4G on all the time and 1-2 hours of music... and in that time the might drain up to 35%+.... Limiting the screen-on time to around 4:30 hours... The deep sleep percentage of the total screen off time is around 65% which is no so great....
This is without using Power saving modes...
So the battery life gets around 7/10 for me.... It is good enough and for 90% of the days it will last the full day.... just not as comfortably as I might have hoped..
On my Galaxy S6 I used apps like Forcedoze, turned off sync, location, 4G, haptic feedback, unused apps, and I could squeeze livable battery life out of it... I am sure that if I did the same with the S9 the phone would have 2 day battery life.... but the out of the box battery life of the phone is average...
So I recommend turning off 4G when not in use and use Power saving mode once you hit 35%.... this way you can easily get through the longest days on a single charge....
The phone needs improvement to its stand by time....

I think that a lot has been said about this topic, and in the end, the user is the only one to blame for the battery life, because there are a lot of things that can impact battery: location, apps, usage, signal, etc.
Is hard to do an objective and good analysis of battery life, because each user will put their own subjective thoughts. For me battery can be great, and for others can be awful.
Is true that 4G will consume more battery, but only if you are in an area when signal is weak, otherwise, in most cases it will have the same drain or even less, because with faster speed, the modem works less and the impact is less as well in battery.
Power saving mode is going to save you some juice in case you cap all the options to the minimum, but honestly, who wants to run an S9+ with an HD resolution?, and the brightness and CPU cap don't give you much more battery either, and I found it stops the sync of some apps, but not others.
I think that the only real way to improve your battery is to properly configure your device, set the proper permissions for every setting and app, and then use the "Energy Monitor" built in app to let which apps can be running in background and which don't. Doing this will improve battery by miles.

The whole thing has to be intuitive though... having to tweak 200 settings in the phone to get better experience is not part of the experience... experience is the stock default usage with some minimal tweaking... This is the reliable battery life I can get without breaking any service in the phone because I might have to analyze the effects of every option I change or turn off..

Is partially true what you say: if you get a Samsung, is because you know you will have all those options and most probably you will have to make the proper changes. We all know that Samsung phones usually offer ton of features and options, but if you don't configure them, probably they will mess a little the battery because most of them will come enabled and will have an impact in battery life.
On the other hand, if you want just the basics and a simple experience, you should stick with Android stock or closer.

Now with that said, I think Samsung puts an unrealistic expectation on the battery and continues to misinform users with fake data. They should be a bit more realistic, really, 20 hours of Video Playback? They forget to tell you that is more than likely at the lowest resolution, with the screen brightness turned all the way down, with the device in airplane mode.
I don't think this phone will get anywhere near those battery hours. I also think we should expect at least 1 full day of HEAVY use. This is a flagship phone.
Now... All said and done... I get decent battery life, I cant complain. However, I do think it should get better battery life. This cost as much as my Dell Gaming Laptop.

Well, car manufacturers do the same when they advertised they cars to give 5L/100Km, but we all know that in order to achieve those, you should drive in very specific conditions. The same applies here as well.
And yes, I also have great battery life in my S9+ and I can't complain at all.

My S9+ has had an appalling battery life and i have no clue what to do about it.
Apologies for the second post. It was done by mistake and now i can't remove it ...
What is really bad is the network reception.
Most time of the day I have bad or almost no coverage.
No matter what phone I had had they all had average battery life.
So for anyone who has bad battery life take a look at this.
But this is just one cause.
I've got my S9+ for about a week now. Snapdragon version with dual SIM.
So far I finding the battery life a little disappointing. Using betterbatterylife with the ADB commands I getting around 4,5 ~ 5 % / h of very light use (essentially stand by).
I've turned everything off, from Google Assistant to bixby to others Samsung services and still I think it's drainibg too fast.

Can't agree more. Samsung has been consistently misinformative about battery endurance data since the first gen Galaxy S I9000 . "S" series never had good batterylife anyways.(keeping sweet Exynos S7 Edge aside when new).

To me it has, I remember the day I got the phone I didn't even get more than 3 hours of SoT. But now I'm getting about 6 hours in a 15 hour usage, with 20 to 30% left. 120hz on all the time, no battery saver.

I mean... Honestly samsung has never been great when it comes to stand by drain (I've had every note since the Note 8 including the Snapdragon versions) but to me, when I sleep let's say 8 hours it drains about 4 or 5 percent, so I guess that's not that bad.
The N20U is the first Exynos phone I've had, and although it's not astonishing, I'd say it's not as bad as some people say.
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.
If you used the S21 Ultra as primary driver and then upgraded to the S22 Ultra, how's your experience with the S22 Ultra purely in terms of batterylife? Do share your thoughts. Thank you.
my experience, bad. In reviews, they claim that there is a 5-10% reduction, but in my opinion, it is at least 20% worse
Coming from a note 20 ultra. It has been worse. Battery drain while not using phone is ridiculous. Snapdragon 512gb. Hope a firmware fix is on its way.

This is my usage.....60 hz refresh rate...insta..WhatsApp...browsing...and 3 Google's accounts and one outlook in sync. I would say it's the same as s21. No real increase in battery life.

Keeping in 60Hz you used to get similar endurance with the S21U? If I'm not mistaken you got rid of S21U shortly after buying?

That is correct. I used to get similar endurance on S21 ultra. I sold it after 3 months as I wasn't happy with the camera and pro mode. Granted last year..there wasnt great smartphone cameras that were made..except 13 pro Max
it started off worse for me on the s22 ultra but has improved, i believe its slightly better now than the s21 ultra, battery life for me is like a rollercoater, some days i come out of a 10hr shift in work and ive only lost 15% and other days i lose nearly 45% so i cant explain what happens on certain days
I had the s21u and in the beginning it was the same or a bit worse on some days...Had the phone now for almost 2 weeks and compared to the s21u it's much improved. With my day to day use I could get 24 hours max on a charge with about 4 hours sot. With s22u I get with the same usage patterns at least 36 hours on a charge with 6 hours sot....There are some days of heave use with camera/video recording that it would last at the most 24 hours...This includes +- 6 hours when I sleep of idling of the phone

With such a huge difference, probably the usage pattern wasn't similar at all with the S21U or it was configured differently in settings or battery in the S21U depleted a lot I would say.
Actually the usage and setup was basically the same....for some reason my battery life was mediocre on the s21u....there were days when I got better battery life, but that didn't happen that often
Terrible compared to the S21U
This is my S22 ultra. My pixel 4a was better. Any recomendations what to do ? I have performed the factory reset yesterday and again google services are draining the battery.

Hey everyone, figure i start a thread on apps/etc that can be safely disabled, so that we can dial on on removing needless junk from our phones. I am currently running a Snapdragon S22 Ultra, SM-S908U 512GB (AT&T variant) so my list may vary...

With this Combination you get at least 30% more Battery Life or even double or more.
Just don't be a Victim Noob of preinstalled Software. lol.
I am getting similar battery life when Im not using my Galaxy Watch4. Syncing with the watch seemed to have been killing my battery much faster. Of course I havent reconnected the watch yet for like a week already because of that. It is possible it is a coincidence that the battery life improved at the same time I got tired of wearing the watch all the time.
So far the poll suggested that S21U had better batterylife.
Some web reports suggest that after installing the GOS disabling update("AVC9" build) the batterylife has improved. This is not mentioned in the changelog. Take it with a pinch of salt, install the update and observe if it's actually true..
Mine isn't bad. The pic shows 5h50m SOT with 37% battery remaining. My brightness slider is at around 33%. I've debloated a bunch of system apps with ADB and also I've used deep sleep on all apps I don't need notifications from #exynos

Actually the usage and setup was basically the same....for some reason my battery life was mediocre on the s21u....there were days when I got better battery life, but that didn't happen that often

Could you use the phone only over 4G (No Wi-Fi) for a day and update the SOT and total runtime screenshot here (on 100 to 1% drain)? Thanks.
Im busy to check for you
I'm interested in the battery difference between iphone 13 pro max and s22 ultra. I now take out with s22 ultra 5-6 hours of screen on time max but in fhd +. If I play pubg, it takes 3 and a half hours without stopping. Is the battery difference so big for the heavy user? Can someone give me some screen statistics on time in heavy use, in games but also in normal use youtube, instagram, fb ... I'm thinking of returning s22 ultra and taking 13 pro max because I'm not very satisfied with the battery s22 ultra. But if the difference is 1 hour then it's not worth the exchange ... I am very dissapointed. I paid $ 1500 for a phone and charged it 2x a day. I do not agree to compromise at 1500% I want to receive what I paid. 120hz -wqhd ... I barely have 5-6 hours screen on time with all apps in deep sleep, 30-40 brightness, fullhd +, location off, 5g off .. Is there any solution ?? this is the exynos variant. Except for the battery, the phone is superb.
I get 14-16 h of total battery life with 3-4 h screen on time, not a heavy use, just some light web browsing, mostly Google Now feed, as well as 2h of Spotify over Bluetooth

I get similar results using the exynos variant. My phone uses 20-25% battery per hour for things like social media (Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat) and browsing/YouTube (FHD+ 120fps). I've seen people getting more than 6 hours screen-on-time with S22 Ultra, but I don't understand how they achieve it. The phone is great, but I am pretty disappointed by the battery life.

Thanks for the confirmation. For me, it looks power consumption optimization issues, either hardware, software, or both. Let's hope that software optimization helps in the future

The thing is that I've been using an S21 Ultra until last month (for the last 5 months). Its battery life was similar with the S22 Ultra I am using now, but slightly worse. I was intrigued by such poor battery life and I brought it to the Samsung Service (device was under warranty). After 2-3 days of service time, they fully refunded my S21 Ultra and I upgraded to the S22 Ultra. I really don't know what to think now, if this battery usage on my S22 Ultra is normal or if there are any problems with it....I can get with it through one day, but, again, I am intrigued that others are getting much better battery life results than me (about 10-15% per hour of screen-on-time).
I think most people on here are getting better battery life due to app usage, debloating, deep sleeping apps and dark mode with amoled wallpapers. I also believe that the device care doesn't give accurate screen on time. Sometimes i would use my device for 10min and when i check screen on time it doesn't refresh immediately.
We have to remember that this panel is brighter and a lot more vivid that what we've had before.
My suggestion if you're not into doing a device reset. Uninstall and then reinstall your apps.
I did this with Facebook and i have seen an improvement. Also i keep seeing apps that are recommended for sleep due to high battery usage and you wont believe some of the apps.
Guys, just monitor and keep all your apps up to date.

Going through your apps and weeding out those that burn through your battery is very important. As an example, I was using Google News app perusing some articles for about 30-40 minutes. Since I use DuckDuckGo with app tracking I later found that during that 1 session the Google News app sent 1401 tracking messages behind the scene. Lots of apps do these types of things and more, especially social media apps.
