I got my Jio back! I am happy :D
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] t.katsandris:
Hello, I know this is an old post but I would really appreciate it if you answered. I am running Lineage Rom 14.1 latest official build and I lost my imei because I flashed the newest twrp by mistake and then changed it to your build from scratch 3.1.1 as I was supposed to so I could flash updates. I am 100% sure this is a solid guide and I appreciate your work on the Lg K420N but the secret dial codes don't work on my phone.Is there another way to do this ? On a side note I'd like to ask if there is a way using Windows 10(Windows 7 are really slow on my computer because my computer is old)
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] pvineeth97:
How can one loose IMEI because flashing TWRP? Weird.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] t.katsandris:
Well I managed to run qpst on windows 7 after all and the imei was already written on the phone when I used RF_NV_MANAGER

but sadly this is as far as I can get with it, IMEI Information on the phone says IMEI and IMEI SV unknown.

Could this be a result of dirty-flashing a LOS update using twrp?
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] pvineeth97:
Flash Stock ROM again and tell me what happens.
[LG K10 Guides, News, & Discussion] t.katsandris:
The rom link on your back to stock guide for the K10 is not working,is there any possibility that you still have the files saved somewhere?

Post up your screen shots and show us how good or bad your battery life is. Tell us whether you have the snap dragon or exynos version, what carrier you're on, what tweaks you may have done, whether you have the S8 or S8+.

I have the Snap Dragon S8+ with T-Mobile.

I have auto brightness on, with optimized performance mode on. I have Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS enabled, always on display is also on. I have not shut any apps off except lookout security. I have adguard also. If I can answer anymore questions, let me know.

Best battery life I've ever had on a phone. View attachment 4119577View attachment 4119579

Not real impressed with mine yet, I know it'll get better but I've only gotten 1hr screen on time so far.

Display set to 1080p, 50% brightness, smart mode, and very little use other then streaming music.

But my lg v20 lasted that long doing the same everyday. Not sure why android eats ups battery streaming music, my iPhone 7 plus can stream music for 8 hrs and still have between 85-90% battery. Hopefully android will make it better.

Like the phone so far though. It's a lot smoother than my s7 edge was. View attachment 4119972View attachment 4119973

Holy cow. Is that the Plus or regular? Though guessing it doesn't matter much since they should be pretty close.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] MacTheRipperr:
This is the plus
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mjs2011:
Cool. I'm getting the regular. Should be somewhat close to that I'm thinking. Whats exciting is that your battery life is out of the box. The software must be much more optimized and the processor efficient.

I'm getting a lot of wakelocks from Android system and Android OS. I haven't disabled anything. I usually get around 2.5 hours of awake time per cycle. Is that normal ?

Are there some common things that are good to disable to help with that ?

Thanks in advance

8 hrs sot

Best battery SOT i have ever had on a phone. 8hrs sot Lg g6 was second. I Keep all unnecessary settings off. Screen at 40 percent and at hd setting. Use phone for texting, music, internet and studying. Not into any games yet. Btw this is 3rd time battery life was over 7 hrs on my settings. I hate samsung and best buy for the ****ty preorder situation where samsung was already out of the immersion deal by the time best buy let phones go in cst, but have to give it to samsung for a bad ass phone. Plus android auto works and audio quality is great. once i get 10 post xda will alloe me to put i pic on here
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] AB__CD:
Doing great so far. 29% left, 3h17m SOT, 4G all the time. No special measures. At this point, S7 would be close to dead with the same usage, perhaps 5% if it was lucky.

S8 Battery Life

I'm sure most of you will agree that the battery life I achieved was phenomenal!

Having trouble uploading an image, could someone help me?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TehPirate_:
Don't use it heavily on weekends or while home besides emails, texting, calling and occasional social media scrolling. Much better than my S7 battery life.

AOD: off

WiFi and 4G/LTE

Bluetooth on (earbuds and watch)

Enhanced location services: off

auto-brightness

dark themes where possible

Adaptive display mode

FHD+

G950FD on T-mobile and AT&T.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] AB__CD:
Agree with comparison to S7 battery. 3h SOT, 47% battery left. S7 Exynos would be close to dead by now. I shudder to think how bad mine would be on S820.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] AB__CD:
Update: day two. Very happy. Galaxy S7 would be about halfway through its second charge of the day by now.

Is it normal for the phone to be dozing and be active at the same time ?

My phone dozes fine. But I am getting about 2.5 hours of awake time per cycle according to gsam. Most of the awake time falls under Android OS or home dex so I can't narrow it down.

Thats very bad considering my s7e used to lose 0,4%/hr overnight
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] AB__CD:
Any special setting?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] AdrianE46:
I have the European exynos version.

Screen is set to 1440p resolution.

Auto brightness is on (keep adjusting it to make it a bit brighter than it wants to be).

Only settings that are off are everything Bluetooth and nfc related and 2-3 "advanced features".

Aod is also turned on.

So is video enhancer.

I think the best bet is to have a minimal number of apps installed (I have about 20 excluding the ones that came with the phone and can't be uninstalled or disabled) and disable settings that require permanent sensor activation that you really have no chance in hell of using.

Edit: the screenshots are misleading as i charged the phone for a bit during that cycle. Just look at the bottom for average and max.

Snapdragon with Telus. WiFi/BT Scanning off, on WiFi all day today, vibration feedback off, keyboard vibration on, 50% brightness (with lowest brightness and blue light filter on at about 12am), WQHD+, AOD on, edge screen off, keep screen turned off on. All advanced features off except for quick launch camera, smart capture, and direct share. BT, NFC, sync, location, secure folder off. Included what I have disabled in Package Disabler Pro.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] km8j:
What is annoying is how system apps all roll up. You'll see in the attached that it claims dex is killing my battery but everything dex is disabled. Actually clicking into this though shows all system packages listed.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] km8j:
Attached is my usage. SOT "looks great" because of how condensed the usage is. A lot of people don't pay attention to that. Android system/os sensor usage is pretty high and so the more spread out the usage, the less sot you get. This is better than normal for me though since I switched to 720p to test

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nurmi_CEO:
Today was the best day I've had with my S8 battery. I was playing music/video on youtube, facebook, texting, brief phone call. Resolution was at FHD and I was not black theme'd until the evening when I started playing around (maybe when it had 35-40% . Bluetooth is off, wifi is on, NFC off and AOD off. Very impressed. Now that I have this dark theme, I bet i will get better battery life too. I also switched to QHD around 35-40% when i modded my theme and fonts on the phone. This is regular S8 on T-Mo
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xysonata:
Here's mine today. Played some heavy games and watched videos. Bluetooth was on for about 50% of the SOT for audio, WIFI turned on the entire time, AOD turned off due to the burning in (but my phone's display was turned on most of this time anyway), resolution on FHD+, blue light filter always on.

For just a 3000mAh battery, I'm very much impressed! Doesn't beat my Huawei Mate 8's battery but SOT is close!

Snapdragon s8 on T-Mobile. I use majority black themes where I can. I generally keep my brightness at just over half, except for night and when in the sun it's at full. Only have like 8 apps disabled. Battery saving location.

I'm a power user honestly and I'm impressed with how well the battery is doing for only 3000mah. Just disabled packages yesterday night so we will see. Usually I get over 6 hours sot. Pacing even better now

I just wanted to post my start and then I'll edit with my finish to see how accurate it's being

EDIT: I always keep lte data on and active through development settings even when im on WiFi
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Acoustichayes:
Usually your first charge or two will yield better results as apps haven't had a chance to build up, and you haven't fully customized your phone, etc
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hektsepulveda:
I dont know if I'm always unlucky and get the faulty phones or wtf is going on lol

I had a S6 with horrible battery life, max 1h 30m SOT, now I have my S8+ and can't seem to get past 3h 30m SOT

My S8 is the SM-G955F Exynos variant, can anyone with an Exynos S8+ with good battery life share me their model number, build number and country so I can try flashing their firmware, please? Maybe my carrier screwed the firmware and that's why I don't get a better battery life lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] skivnit:
Or maybe you're installing sht apps try to reset then use it see how it's holding up. Don't install any apps yet
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] AB__CD:
Particulrly heavy day, half hour of hotspot, poor signal in the evening. Impressed.

4.5h SOT
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hektsepulveda:
That could be too. Yesterday I reflashed the firmware through Smart Switch and installed my apps, since I can't be a whole day without most of my apps, tho I will try next week.

I'm gonna post later my battery life from this results, so far, same battery life as before. Approximately like 1 he SOT per 20% of battery. I'm at 81% with 1hr SOT. The culprit seems to be Samsung Dex Home (all the grouped Samsung things) and Android Kernel OS.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] alaa96:
crazy battery life :D

i got almost 48 hours of battery life with about 5 hours sot with moderate usage about an hour of youtube some facebook and a bit gaming
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrjoy:
Is there any s7 edge users who upgrades to S8+ & if they could tell the battery life in compare to s7e that its the same backup or better than s7e.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
Just abt 10% less in both Standby & SOT than S7e on S8. S8+ should be better.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hektsepulveda:
So.. I'm so dumb I didn't know restarting the device would reset the battery stats.

But basically, after flashing again the firmware through Smart Switch, with all my apps and all synced. I got like 5hr 30min SOT with Iris and fingerprint on, AOD off, 4G, location on, medium power saving on (only the performance decrease), QWHD+.

So.. it's better than before but I think it could be better.

Can anyone post their Android System and Android OS usage? Like, the CPU total, Stay awake, etc. Since I think mine's are way too high. I don't have screens because my stats restarted lol but I checked them before restarting the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrjoy:
Thanx for information but s8+ user should tell here the proper battery backup who earlier moved from S7e

Im having the same problem, standby drain even in wifi is bad.

I have to find what is the problem,

I have same settings one by one, in the s7 edge, and during the night s7 edge 2 max 3%in 8h with wifi on, but last night s8 drain 5 6% im sure its the crapy bloatware samsung have in the s8. Hope they fix this.

And i did a reset 2 days ago.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rgs2:
This phone is absolutely amazing! I can't believe the battery life I'm getting. Charged it to 100% late Thursday evening and unplugged it. From then until I had to put it on the charger again at 3% battery remaining I got 20 hours of which 9 hours was screen on time, mostly looking at Youtube videos of the S8 over WiFi. FHD. AOD on. Mobile data and Bluetooth turned off. I've never had a phone do anything like that before.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] leomagnani:
Exynos, QHD, AOD Off, BT off, Infinity Wallpaper On, poor signal @ work. With the S7E I would make 4,5~5h SOT.

PS. note that infinity wallpaper consumed more than whatsapp and tapatalk that were the most intensive apps after chrome....

Very nice battery life, I was afraid to have less battery life on s8 compared with S7E but so far so good

S8+ best battery life I've had. And I have the snapdragon version. Haven't used package disabler pro. Have had the phone for a week now. Had the regular s8 and the battery was so bad I went to the plus. It's more uncomfortable to hold but I like the true off. AOD off, Bluetooth always on, Wi-Fi on most of the time, watched a few hours of shows that's why it's highbscreen on time. The phone is highly efficient when watching shows yielding to 5-8% drop in 45 minutes of 1080p shows.

You mean you are talking about normal S8 version that you get the same SOT on S8. That means S8+ should give more SOT in compare to S7e.
