Impressive. Considering the most I have ever managed for SoT on my S5 is 4-5 hours ands thats with screen brightness turned down quite a bit, cant wait for my s8+ to arrive!!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] nosympathy:
that makes me so happy. The iphone 6s Plus I had would last all day. The Note 7 I had would last all day. The S7E is almost dead by noon (5-6 hours.) Looks like the S8+ will last me all day again.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MeltdownSpectre:
Very impressed with the battery life on the little S8 and the S8 Plus.

Considering the former only has a 3000 mAh battery, it lasted surprisingly long.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jrwingate6:
It's because there were many people who had battery draining bugs on their S7E. Certain apps (out of the box) and certain settings would cause the battery to drain extremely fast.

I know all of this because I went through it and I created a thread on how to fix the issue.

My final results with a Snapdragon S7E were roughly 8 hours SOT.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] JasonJoel:
Looks like I'm projecting to get 5.5-6 SOT on my S8+. Although that is only 30% into the battery, so we'll see.

Seems ok to me.

But im on the highest resolution setting (raised it from the default), auto brightness, wifi/bluetooth/nfc/location services on, and an android wear watch connected.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] bkchr:
Hi, does someone has the same problem with the proximity sensor? Gsam reports an abnormal high usage time. I already deactivated all kinds of features that try to use the proximity sensor. I also observed that this happens mostly on mobile Internet, so on WiFi I the sensor usage is not that high. I also looked into battery historian and saw that the grip sensor has almost the same amount of usage time. There needs to be running something that constantly polls this sensor..

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] underdog_656:
Interesting after I took my picture and battery was on 3 percent my screen Mah was 3000 meaning that other apps, mobile data and wofi only used 500
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] eleuname96:
statistic of the day

I don't know how many of you are getting 8 or more sot, but here are my stats, if anyone can help me find out what could be drain my battery in this way.

I noticed that i have 65% of app usage at the moment, but as i have seen in many of yours screenshots you have in most cases about 25%.

My settings:

aod on.

WQHD

sometimes 4g but most of the time in wifi, bluetooth on, sync on

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] aroy97:
I have mine at FHD+, mostly on wifi, Bluetooth off, aod off, sync on for 3 different emails.

That is interesting, maybe because your brightness is higher? I have mine on auto and it's usually at 40-50%
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] underdog_656:
Most of these 8 are from fhd+... the reason that most of us get that amount is that we don't really leave our phone on idle meaning that we use the phones constantly. This means that the phone isn't draining on idle I mean it does but it also counts towards the SOT instead of only counting screen off time. I know I'm mumbling I don't really know how to explain it to you, hopefully you get my point

---------- Post added at 11:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------

Ahhh that's probably it. I use mine always 80 to 100 percent brightness
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] :
This has been my usage on my last charge.. pretty much all of the battery draining settings have been turned off, screen on fhd+, Bluetooth and Mobile Data have been on several times but Wi-Fi mostly.

This is my current battery life (without AOD on and with the highest resolution activated) on my Samsung Galaxy S8+ (Exynos) after taking the battery from 100% to 1% for the first time after i got it.

1. Total battery time: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3F_Zi5tyeKCdzhPUXVHZzhPREk/view?usp=sharing

2. Screen on time: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3F_Zi5tyeKCaG9qU1lDUW9McTA/view?usp=sharing

So this is pretty nice considering i have like 80-90 apps installed :D.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] akira888:
Understand that high phone usage comment. Nevertheless, how did you achieve such a great sleep time? Seems the phone never got woken up during that time.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Sorry, yes. It's the Exynos version
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] underdog_656:
I don't really know what you meant by the first point u said.

Exynos is a beast at sleeping... I don't really get any notifications at night so possibly that's why. My stats don't really show good use of sleep as I have always used the phone as you can see that the graph is decreasing fast. You can only see when I unplugged as I was getting dressed and wasn't able to use my phone
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rocku_dj2000:
Sleep time only gets good if you disable AOD. i disable it during sleep time and get quite a flat line during the night. Seems i am in line to get over 5 hrs SoT with more than 40hrs of total usage. I would consider it an excellent battey life since it will take me through 2 days of usage.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] underdog_656:
Interesting I leave aod all the time never turn it off. ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rocku_dj2000:
If you check GSMArena battery test, you will see that with AOD off, the endurance time is 88hrs but with AOD on it drops to around 58hrs..so AOD makes a lot of difference during idle time and specially during sleeping since during day time AOD does not come on too often as you are always playing with your new phone [emoji12]

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------

To add, you can set a timer on AOD. I have put it as off during 9pm to 7am.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] underdog_656:
True but from my stats you can see that it didn't drop as much when it was sleeping.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rocku_dj2000:
You had around 7hrs sot and around 12hrs usage?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] underdog_656:
What's ur point?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rocku_dj2000:
I was just curious about the idle time battery drain which you got. Mine showed a drop of around 1.2% per hour when i had the AOD on during the whole night (8 hr sleep) and when i switched it off it was only 3,4% in the same time. How much are you getting?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] underdog_656:
Well I don't really count what uses battery just sot... in my opinion gsam aren't accurate not even close to being accurate... probably 1 to 2 drop per 2 hours not sure tbh. Just that it doesn't drain as much as s7 did.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] rocku_dj2000:
I see..i agree with you.. battery usage totally depends on the individual and also on the signal strength in the area.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] underdog_656:
Definitely where I live the signal is excellent doest drop bellow 4 bars maybe once every 4 hours or so... really glad with this stunning phone
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jemael972:
When i m at work i switch data To 3g only because signal strenght drop in 4g ..i see the différence in idle time

---------- Post added at 10:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 PM ----------

True but don't look at the SOT as you can see he didn't listen to music as Well as the screen was turned on. Although interesting he should of easily gained at least 16 to 20 hours on battery instead of 11.... I guess his device didn't really go to sleep possibly play music was waking it up.

First two screenshots is from the first time I got my phone. A days use with almost 5hrs SOT. Phone restarted some reason while on FB when I tried to capture the screenshot. Battery life seems on par with my S7e.

The second set of screenshots is when I don't use the phone much. Idling on this phone is pretty decent (better than S7e - Snapdragon variant). I was able to get almost 40 hours on light usage with almost 3hrs SOT. I have default screen settings, medium auto brightness, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled, and having two Google accounts synced.

Amazing!

Screen brightness 50%, sometimes 100% cause many people wanted to see a video on full brightness... Aod, gps, Bluetooth off. 60%of the time was on tmobile lte, the rest wifi. The night i let it in airplane mode. Disabled bixby and knox via package disabler pro. Also middle battery safer. (screen on fhd+ cause of bug with keyboard) impressed so far, this was my first full charge
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Tom-Helge:
I have another update after doing another test of the battery on my Galaxy S8+. Last time i had about 8 hours and 24 minutes with screen on time on my phone. This time it got even better.

Here are my new results.

Total usage time: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3F_Zi5tyeKCMGpuZzdwTHpLSnM/view?usp=sharing (19 hours of usage time).

Screen on time: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3F_Zi5tyeKCU2E2N29BaEpLUGM/view?usp=sharing (yes, that's 10 hours of SoT).

This is done with full resolution (1440x2960), brightness at 60-70% and under heavy usage. I was struggling to kill the battery before i went to sleep earlier yesterday / today. Yes, as you can see, the phone was just inactive for 10% of the whole 19 hours of usage i had on it.

In short, the battery life on this phone is INSANE :laugh:.

So, I was wondering does anyone use apps to save battery?

Also does anyone have a specific percentage they get down to before they charge it or do they wait until it dies?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] underdog_656:
Here you go these stats are with qhd. Brightness 100 percent sometimes 80 if I'm in a darker spot but most of the 5 hours I used 80 percent around 30 mins or so...

Used Bluetooth for a decent amount of time then gaming for around 10 to 25 mins. To see the fhd stats for my usage you can look a few posts back If you want.... although on qhd I was more aggressive on battery as I did gaming and Bluetooth...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jemael972:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] racingmatt1:
Power saver used at all?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] underdog_656:
Nope, I never use powersaving
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] racingmatt1:
So you think I'll get better battery life with no power saving? I mainly browse xda forums and social apps and I get 3 hours sot over 18 hours totalwith power saver on mid.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] underdog_656:
It depends on the person. It's impossible to compare battery stats when we are 2 different people.... it's unlikely cause of that but I have exynos version...

If you look on my stats total on battery is 10 hours meaning that SOT is 5 hours, but as it stats are 18 over that means ur phone has been a lot more idle and you probably didn't use phone constantly like I do...

The way I use my battery is that u usually use 30 to 1 hour SOT then i Put down the phone for like 20 mins as in that time I finish playing a game meaning that I am going to check my phone again for like another 20 mins. So basically my phone isn't idle a lot meaning that when the battery drains it doesn't count down just idle it also counts down SOT and phone usage.... so yeah

Sorry for mumbling don't really know how to explain this...

For a day try to use it phone constantly without any idle just straight up use for 4 hours or so, of course take short brakes... so yeahh

I'm personally very happy with the results I'm getting. Definitely better than my S7 Edge was

To verify this, connect your phone to your computer, open adb shell and use logcat | grep -i sensor .

I'm extremely impressed with this battery.
