Well i am a moderate user i don't play games and usually getting fantastic battery life for ex. My current battery status is 1 day of usage and my sot is 3hrs and 15min and still at 60% all is on except mobile data.

Bad cellular reception , Gps and mobile data effect the battery life indeed.

Yes you are right, if you did check the *post your battery status* thread Snapdragon variants seems to get better battery life than exynos
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Ausboy 2011:
10 hours sot no worries
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iamnotkurtcobain:
This isn't normal right?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] AlexMullerSA:
You getting the same problem as a lot of us, most probably dont even know. Proximity sensor is being turned on, you only got 27min, i get about 10h per day....

Still trying to figure out why its keeping the sensor on.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iamnotkurtcobain:
How is your battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] AlexMullerSA:
My battery is pretty decent if i compare with previous devices. Getting about 6h screen on time (sometimes 7.5h) during a 24h cycle, but then my proximity has been on for 10h+, so hoping to fix that then should be getting an extra 3-5h standby time, if not more!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iamnotkurtcobain:
Is your kernel (android os) also as high as mine?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] AlexMullerSA:
Bro iv tried AQCC, AQDG and the latest AQE5 all with stock kernel, Jesse stable, semi and test as well as batstock kernel and still getting the same proximity sensor drain.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] iamnotkurtcobain:
I'll check if my S7 has the same problem...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] AlexMullerSA:
It shouldnt be like that. The sensor should be sleeping UNLESS you have some smart gestures on which will turn it on and off, however I have seen results on other S8 devices with same OS setup WITH sensors turned and only getting ~5min sensor time in a cycle.

So either there are bugs in the OS or possible hardware faults, all we can do is either find what process is keeping the sensor on and keep it asleep or disabled, or wait to see if updates fix the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] biffwitch:
I get over 8 hours SOT over two days on the Exynos S8+. Not sure snapdragon battery useage is wiping the floor with my version to be fair. Exynos is also less laggy.

I would put it down to how people set up and use their phones.

I do not use AOD as it's a waste of resources, or NFC although I do not believe that uses any battery to speak of. I have brightness between 60 and 100 percent. I usually use FHD+ but noticed well over 7 hours even on QHD.

This is my new one after I broke the last one so if I remember I will post screenshots tomorrow.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] kimern:
I get terrible battery life ever since flashing custom rom. Android system eats battery and the phone is always warn to the touch.

Phone has been on for an hour now, and dropped 20%. Seems IMSservice is what keeps the cpu running (Samsung Dex?). Tried disabling the package with TB, will report back with results.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MannyManny714:
What version do you have exynos or snapdragon? My battery got slightly better but is still pretty bad I'm waiting for a custom Rom/Root to be released to flash onto my s8+ that's my last hope for this phone
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] zetlaw:
Go back to stock rom without root and dont install the ****ty process management apps(greenify,forcedoze,amplofy) and you battery will be best.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] YandereSan:
I've got two S8 Plus devices. The first one I use for work with light usage. It has email sync and a few meeting apps. I get roughly 7 days of battery life with it.

[IMG="Battery"]https://i.imgur.com/U71vvvC.png[/IMG]

Second S8 Plus I use more for personal activities. I have 3 syncing Google accounts, FB Messenger, Twitter, Instagram, a few other chat apps, and a weather widget. This device squeezes out roughly 2-4 days, largely based on how much I chat to people and browse the internet. Most of the battery drain is from FB Messenger and screen time.

I have used Package Disabler Pro on both devices to wipe out almost everything I don't like, including a few system apps.

I would argue against Greenify being ****ty. It allows you to explicitly choose which apps to hibernate while still supporting GCM push notifications, unlike the stock power management utility. However, Greenify is semi-useless right now as 7.0 doesn't support Xposed yet, thus no push notifications.

Otherwise, if properly configured and supported, Greenify is godly.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] standard101:
the stock power management utility also allows you to put apps to sleep. once you set an app to sleep when not in use, it looks to be always asleep if I'm not using it. can you expand on what is better about greenify? i never used a third party power app before btw so curious why it's even necessary.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] YandereSan:
You can put them to sleep, but apps that are asleep don't notify you when you receive a push notification. Greenify (Donate) + GCS-enabled apps do, only downside is that you need the Xposed Framework, which is currently not available for 7.0+.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] B3311:
Pretty happy with this. 13% left.

My normal usage would have a bit more video, hence my high screen on time, but otherwise representative. I never sync and don't use social media.

My battery life has been around 8 hours+ lately but today i'm on course for 9 maybe 9.5. 50% -100% brightness, FHD+, WIFI. Mostly youtube, Instagram, texts.

Really seriously impressed with the Exynos Battery life.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mattprice86:
My battery life is not as good as you guys getting 9 hours +, but I did get 7.5hrs last week. Definitely happy with that result. This was mostly at home on wifi, watching a lot of YouTube and Netflix. I started off at like 75% brightness, but then lowered it down to maybe 50%, bc I had a really bad headache and bright lights made it hurt more
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] racingmatt1:
Can anyone do a mid power saver vs no power saver comparison with same or similar usage and sot?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] toby913:
anyone noticing a bad standby drain?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] EclipzeRemix:
have not had this issue, usually only loses about 4 percent over night at most.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MannyManny714:
I have a horrible stand by drain and it ticks me off battery drain is horrible as well battery was pretty good for a few days but then started acting up AGAIN I'm so over this phone root is my last resort.....
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] toby913:
I lost about 10% during night. i think it´s strange but since a come from a Pixel i´m careful.

location services are set to battery saving, data is off and wifi disables itself as soon as the phone goes to deep standby.

i already tried a factory reset but no results.

Didn´t use Package Disabler

the other thing is that my SOT is barely over 2h sometimes scratching 3h SOT which i personally blame on my use of Spotify. Compared to the S7 Edge i had however it´s worse

the screenshots with the black theme are over the course of last week and the white ones are from yesterday, i tried to see if i am not using the Phone correctly, since everyone with light/moderate Usage gets a lot more SOT from it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MannyManny714:
10%? Bro my phone was at 84% last night some up this morning and it was at 58%..... does anyone know the name of the package that is in charge of battery life on the s8+ maybe I can disable it or something?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] krwlng:
dont know how people get 8-9h SOT

i'm lucky if i get 5hours

i have aod turned on from 7am to 9pm.

9pm to 7am my data and wifi is off

location, bluetooth, nfc is always off

emails set to sync manually

no facebook app

instagram set to poll manually

black theme

klwp

whatsapp for about 2 hour daily.

fun run game for about 30 mins daily

internet for about 1 hour daily

greenify on. forcedoze on as well.

with the above settings, i thought i'll get much more batt savings.

but really doesnt help much
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] fade2green514:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] hackdrag0n:
Sitting on just under 5 hours with 27% left. I don't know how you guys manage to squeeze 8 hours of phone usage into a day. I'm actually trying to run it to empty right now so I can do a calibration and it's boring me to tears.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ace-user:
Not impressed by the S8+ battery life. Been using it for about 3 days now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] hackdrag0n:
Calibrate it maybe? To be honest I wasn't impressed with mine until I tried to run it flat for calibration today. The first 50% seems to disappear much faster than the second 50%. Currently looking like it will die at around the 7.5 to 8 hour mark. Definitely a solid performance.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Amar.B:
I will recommend not to use any 3rd party battery saving apps.

I am always getting 6 to 8 hrs minimum with moderate use. Location is on high accuracy, aod is off from 10pm to 7am and sync is on all the time
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] fade2green514:
If you use it outside I noticed the battery life drops drastically. It's pretty insane the difference.

See this screenshot the steep drop off is when the screen went to Max brightness on its own

Same charge still from a few posts ago BTW
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] racingmatt1:
How do I calibrate the battery?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] hackdrag0n:
Agreed. That 1000 nits has to come from somewhere though, right? My only real complaint is that it won't accept your manual override unless you disable auto brightness.

Run the battery down until the phone shuts off.

Power the phone on and wait for it to shut down again.

Keep the phone powered off while you charge it to 100%.

Sometimes the phone can get confused and 100% won't really be 100%. This will sort it out but should not be done very often. Emptying your battery is bad for it's health.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] fade2green514:
Honestly the screen brightness boost is great for outside and it controls it pretty well. It makes it way easier to see.

It's a shame that it drains the battery so quickly, however the phone still lasted me two days. I had to legit watch Netflix outside to get it to drain like that.

I didn't know doing that a lot was bad for the phone and it's battery life I did it and the battery life increased drastically and then I did it again and the battery life got horrible..... is there any way I can fix this? Do I need to calibrate it again? I'm going to do this again tonight and once I get the battery down I don't calibrate it anymore. Please HELP this phone is driving me nuts I'll donate to somebody if I have too
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] hackdrag0n:
I'd say you have other problems than calibration dude
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MannyManny714:
I kept calibrating it after I had already calibrated it because I was getting almost 7hrs sot and i kept doing the calibration and the battery life dropped again you said in your other post that doing it a lot was bad for the battery?

Your cellular reception looks bad use 2g while you're on wifi, Also using facebook app is one of the reasons your battery drains so fast use chrome.

Did you disable any system apps! If yes enable them

#Using a black theme also will improve your battery life. Recommend theme high contracts added a snapshot

#Set a schedule for your aod, i set mine from 10pm to 7am

Switch off your location and sync when you go to sleep

Battery life depends on how you use your phone

Usually 3 bars are quite good for cellular reception and yours struggling to get 2.

Yes and no it might be safe to disable system apps but samsung did some battery tweaks if you did disable one you will notice that battery life decreases dramatically. My advice don't change anything use your phone normally.

Background apps are potentially the worst drains. Naptime the app works great if you're rooted. I find keeping auto brightness off helps as well.
