What theme do you recommend for best battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] godofpornings:
Got that 10hr SOT on just my second charge. Brilliant. Love this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] vibrantliker:
Still don't know how you all get this insane battery life. Any of you with the G955F getting these same results?

I'm lucky if I get 5+

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Amar.B:
You probably will get 7+ sot if you're on wifi I'm using EU variant. I cant lie to you and say that you could reach the 7+ sot since i didn't use 4g since i bought this phone(I'm in germany n roaming H+ wcdma) but 6 hrs sot is manageable with dark theme. I'm also getting between 4 to 5hrs sot with heavy use

With mobile data out in broad daylight at full brightness you won't get much screen on time, you know if you actually use it in real life not working for great screen on times. It will land around 5 hour screen on time on those days with a lot full brightness outside on mobile data. On WiFi however and inside with lower brightness and black theme high screen on and time like 10 hours is possible. However black themes are not very usable outside on sunny days you will see squat on the screen.

Black themes also harm your eyes more than normal! The edges of white text on black background make your eyes weaker and weaker because of very high contrast!

AT&T S8 Plus Excellent 9hrs SOT!??
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] killerocker:
Honestly dude, how are you getting times like that? We have the same phone, I use dark themes and dark wallpapers and all that but still I get around like 5.5 hours by the end of the day
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] someone261:
Hey guys, idk how you all getting this amazing battery life and SOT!! I get really really bad battery life. Can someone help me and tell me why? What's going on here and why does this Dex thing takes my whole battery?! I don't even have Dex! Please help me, I'm lucky if I'm getting 5 hours of screen on time.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] vibrantliker:
Same here!!!! SM-G955F
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] bajasur:
A lot of times this can be dependent on your signal strength and certain apps.

Try a clean flash and then run your phone in airplane mode for a cycle and see if your battery increases

This is my best one to date on my S8 plus. I've had several over 9 hours.

6 hours SOT. REALISTIC than 10 hours. Dual Sim phone with auto sync turned off. Auto brightness
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] suaverc118:
I have BT on for my watch and truck, but this was more wifi than data. I've had WiFi and day used in the same day and had 9 hours SOT. I don't game or anything, just message, XDA, FB and Google. Oh, I also disabled all my bloatware too
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] someone261:
And what about that Dex thing taking my whole battery?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] delinde:
Normal usage is around 5-6 hours tops for everyone.

Why are people impressed by 8-10 hours SOT when its obvious that the phone really hasnt been used. Just look how high up the list Battery idle time is. Come on guys. Common sense.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Amar.B:
Solution 1:(recommended) go to settings>apps>select the three vertical dots on the top right corne(pic attached) select show system apps>then scroll down to Samsung Dex home>storage>clear data>restart your phone and see

Solution 2: backup your data either using Samsung backup or Samsung software (pc)

You can use your cloud storage is more convenient for pics and app data after backup you can reset your phone to the factory settings

I agree and disagree with you in the same moment

This phone can archive 8+ sot n wifi only on moderate use

Meanwhile if you're using mobile data only then expect to get maximum 5 hrs sot

The combination of wifi+mobile data you will get the 5-7 hours sot "depends on how you use your phone"

* reaching 8+ sot is useless if you're not sharing your settings i considered as *show off*

*custom roms and kernels can have lots of benefits having the ability to tweak your battery temp, governor, cpu frequency and gpu freq could also help to archives extreme battery life and break the limitations of the samsung stock rom

* also disabling lots of features to archive the best sot is also useless i recommend you to buy nokia 1100 instead

* i am not trying to offend anyone here but the facts needs to be told (posting your battery life without giving details about how did you archive this sot is useless for everyone) you're simply waisting your time

First time in the last 3 months I get around 6 hrs screen on time...

I have more than 20 apps that are on auto sync and do many mins of phone call and video chats, plus messagers, browsing, and youtube.

What has been different now: around 3 weeks ago I had to wipe my phone completely due to some issue during the call. Since then I have seen a significant improvement in battery and speed.. This is definitely not a placebo effect as I been testing for the past 2-3 weeks.

In the S8 forum theres a lot of 7h+ and an 8h SoT, from the times in here it looks like the S8 is doing better with SoT than the plus, which is meant to be lasting a bit longer.

My first full charge, well not quite, only charged up to 97%. Best battery life I have ever had on a phone! Blows my S7 edge out of the water.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rocku_dj2000:
Depends on the usage pattern. For me it seems quite good on wifi. I have switched off WIFI just now after taking these screen shots to mix up things a bit. Will get to know pure performance on mobile data only on Monday.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] optimummind:
These battery life results of the S8+ are looking good. The best SOT I got out of my GS7E on the 935U ROM was 6 h 23 m in a 19-hr period with 3% left. Cant wait for the coral blue unlocked model!

Here's the battery life on my T Mobile Galaxy S8 Plus running only WQHD+. As it should be.

My previous phone was the Note 4 and my S8 Plus kicks its Ass all over the place. As expected on a 2017 flagship. Very happy with my upgrade I love this phone. Further OTA updates will most likely improve the battery life further. The recent OTA update made my battery life even better despite removing the ability to remap the Bixby button.

How your screen is black like that?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] standard101:
coming from a S6 edge. I'm still on my original charge, but running FHD instead of WQHD for this run. Light usage compared to what it will get in regular use, but going on 1d 7h 19m with 18h 33m left to go (37% remaining). I will be switching to WQHD once I get it on a charger, will there be a huge drop from FHD to WQHD in terms of battery life? I see many of you posting much less time on WQHD, looking like it'll go less than 24h. Let's see if the resolution gain is worth the time difference.

Battery has been great so far
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] dhorgas:
You're not the only one. Anyone who claims good battery on this device either has severely pared down services or is a very light user. The battery life is quite bad. You can practically watch the battery drain. I go though a lot of phones and currently have an iPhone 7 Plus in addition to the S8+ (Snapdragon). I also had an S7 Edge (Exynos) on latest Nougat release until a few days ago. S8+ has an identical setup to the S7 Edge but the battery life is 15%-20% worse. iPhone 7 Plus smokes both, so much so, it isn't even a remote contest. Heck, I spent 40 minutes now on the forum here, using the XDA app and brightness at low, yet I still lost a total of 3.5% of battery. Standby drain alone is 1.1% per hour. I am now forced to try to tame the drain by dislike High Accuracy location. I will see what impact that has.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mlock420:
What is a light user to you?...Because me getting 8 hours on screen time with brightness at about 85% all day looking at youtube ,surfing the web mainly amazon...looking up nba stats...listening to pod casts....getting on xda all day reading threads....being on 4g no wifi...talking and texting....i claim these things with screen shots.....to get ****ty battery results should I turn everything on even if I'm not using bluetooth,GPS etc....? I'm on this phone so much I get bored looking at it lol....
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Tidbits:
I got 12 hours with 7 hours of SoT. That's better than other devices I have owned. Max resolution and auto brightness, adaptive mode on, Bluetooth On and connected, LTE On, Bixby on, GPS high accuracy, no power saving and nothing disabled. Gear S2 connected. I did a few hours of gaming, and I even did a few hours of phone calls on top of that. For reference I do go through just as much as you do. Maybe even more if you include the testers and loaners I go through.

My S7E is set up the same way and my S8+ gets better battery life. Way better than my iPhone 7+. I could turn stuff off and my battery life should be better than than what I got.

I almost didn't get this phone. I was so disappointed with the S7 Edge and it's 2-3 hours SOT on a GOOD day that I just wasn't that interested. Though since there's a 14 day window to return it and my local AT&T store hadn't sold a single one on launch evening so they were on hand, I figured I'd try. But this time I wouldn't count on a patch to fix things like I did with the S7E since it was basically abandoned as far as that issue went from day one.

Super impressed and glad I did. 9 hours SOT on my first charge, 7.5 hours SOT on the second with extremely heavy usage. Starting the third now.
