---------- Post added at 09:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 PM ----------

what about apps you have installed & your usage?

What to chose s8 or s8+?Both model is great but battery life is for me very important.Please suggestion!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] miyuru4u:
Mine was dual sim version but i still didnt use both sims . Only one sim i think using 2 sims will reduce the battery life...i have 40 to 50 apps installed and all are sync enabled
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrjoy:
Im using two sims. If there is really issue that reduces battery life with two sims then samsung should provide little big more battery power for dual sim variants phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] miyuru4u:
Yeah you are right using both sims will reduce the batt life specially when you are in low network signal area.. they should have increase the batt life with dual sims

Extremely happy with battery life on mine after finally getting everything set up as I wanted and phones wearing in

Heavy browsing usage and moderate fb/instagram/xda usage all day. Screen between 40 and 80% varying. WiFi and lte active all day. Lte ranges from full bars, to this one bar. Also have location turned off for every user app I have, besides like 1 or 2
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] badrsj:
You're right Android does eat more battery.

One thing you can do, switch your system to dark themes. For reference see all other screen shots are dark, yours is white. [emoji106]

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cavags5:

It will increase your battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PieTries:
I'm extremely impressed!

1080p, AOD and edge screen off, used Package Disabler Pro WiFi all day (but I think data shouldn't drain that much battery)

Galaxy S8 of course. Model SM-G950FD (unlocked dual SIM Asian variant)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Acoustichayes:
Yes it is amoled black themed. Pic attached of the name and theme to make it easier to find.

I have to admit, I also use a black themed facebook/messenger, keyboard and instagram which of course helps with battery too.

Given we are having issues with getting root for the snapdragon, i might end up making a proper black/cyan blue theme instead of making a black rom. Which will be free to the xda community

Data drains much more battery than WiFi. Especially if you don't have good quality signal
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] racingmatt1:
How did you get your facebook/messenger and Instagram to have black themes?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Acoustichayes:
I use modified apps. From team blackout. Check out their app here on XDA. They do black and clear themed apps. Some can just be installed as normal, some require root to flash.

FYI, the Facebook app of theirs, because it's still technically beta, sometimes force closes, and the notifications from it don't always show up in the notification bar. But otherwise I love them.

Here are some screenshots
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] PieTries:
Oh. Cuz IIRC, I remember seeing great battery life with data.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Acoustichayes:
As I said, it really depends on signal quality. Goes for both WiFi and data honestly. When you have strong signal your phone doesn't have to use as much power to broadcast back to the antennas and vise versa
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tristan1302:
I was in airplane mode because I was sleeping, look at the time :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cavags5:
Thats screenshots don't show everything, you need to show battery status.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ajai_dev:
A question does one bar of 4G have huge impact on the battery life and under which process is it shown? I have somehow managed to lower consumption around 2-3% overnight but it seems to fluctuate when the signal strength is 1 out of 5 in 4G
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] linom:
While less bars show a weak signal they generally don't mean anything. Check the signal in dBm in 'About -Status.-SIM Card Status-Signal Strength'. The ideal range should be between -60dBm to about -95dBm. Lesser the value, stronger is the signal. A poor signal will lead to higher battery drain.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Acoustichayes:
How was your data connection there? Low connection can cause hell on battery. Especially if your phone is constantly polling and switching towers
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mweinbach:
LTE+ and LTE. It was switching between the two.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Acoustichayes:
that can cause issues if its constantly switching. do you know what your average signal was in db?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mweinbach:
wasnt looking. I will check today.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ajai_dev:
Signal switching does do a lot of damage, just wondering if I set the phone to LTE only and active VOLTE will that conserve a lot of battery?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] insang-droid:
it's the AOD killing your Batt life. not resolution.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Acoustichayes:
Ehh. My AOD doesn't do much damage on the battery. Resolution can cause a huge hit if you do a lot of video intensive things

---------- Post added at 11:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 PM ----------

Maybe. But if it can't keep that lte, you'll drop that signal and constantly search for lte until it connects again

VERY VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE BATTERY LIFE.

I came from S7 edge wjere I used to get 4h 40m SoT max and I was very worried that with S8's smaller battery, I'd be looking for the charger midway through the day. But guess what! It's freakin' amazing. Here's the detail:

Today is my 8th day with the phone. I've brightness set at 30% indoors and 100% outdoors. I've not even set up my Wifi because I NEVER USE IT. I'm always, always on 4G data connection so getting impressive battery life is some feat. Location is off unless navigating. Sync, AOD is always on. I watch around 1 hour of youtube daily and some music streaming. Social media apps and IMs run all day long. Voice calls are around 15 minutes on average daily. I do not play games on phone, none.

I'm consistently getting on average 5h 30m SoT (Got 6h 4m yeaterday) and I'm very happy with it as I get through the 14-16 hour day with ease. With WiFi I'm sure I'll get 60-90 minutes more.

How much time do you have the s8?

6h is the normal for average user in 4G and some wifi.

But this phone doesn't have a better battery than s7 edge,

Im sure if you remove a new s7 edge out of the box with marshmallow like i did last year, and battery is not worse than s8. Practically the same.

S8 is more optimised in some ways.

This is what I'm getting with AOD on.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] apsis:
I'm around 6 hours of SOT with my S8 in around 16 hours runtime. That's fine for me, also there's no battery saver active, resolution is still on FHD+ (default, might change that when battery has settled), AOD is active all the day, two mail accounts synchronisation running each hour in the background, no airplane mode, mixed WiFi/4g.

The only thing that's bothering me is the standby drain, that's definitely more than 2% per hour. Couldn't find the culprit yet.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] hovanhuang:
One forum is fine. But I do agree with [MENTION=2182808]Semantics[/MENTION]. This is a thread about battery. Those you guys are already a s8 or s8+ owners. the thread is more important to users that are thinking to switch to s8s. Some of the post is confusing that I don't know if the 7+ hours SOT is for s8+ or s8. For some users or most of us in the thread, battery life is a pretty important element of our phones. So we do want to make it clear if the data you guys posting are for s8+ or s8 before we are deciding which one to buy.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dreadish:
some of the guys probably cheat, since u can charge phone not until the end and downcount SOT still continues. My s8 cell standby drains 3-4 % over night (8 hours or so). Good considering its not full bar reception. Genue SOT on my phone after two months of use is usilly 5-6 hours with half of that of 4g web browsing the other mixed use.

I could get SOT 7 hours IF i use ONLY wifi web half time and video watching other half with brightness around 25% or lower. Im gonna post in next days again. Impretty satisfied with battery life. Heavy users will get 4 -5 tops hours SOT most times (meaning heavy gaming +4g and other heavy stuff)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Malik828:
you are right people are cheating I can't get more than 3 hours sot
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] betovanbuuren:
Im having the same, looks high for me even with the phone in stand by mode, that increase if i activate the aod option. Im with AQF7 version, does a previous ones have better battery drain?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cavags5:
2% with 4g is very good, and could be worse if the signal is bad.

Data connection consume a lot, and depends a lot of the apps you have running, Sync and gps. Latest update don't change nothing.

Standby depends of some you open but don't put to sleep.

Ex, i don't use Dropbox much, but sometimes i transfer some files. Just simple things, its 30 seconds of usage.

But if i don't put it to sleep, in next hours show on battery status that Dropbox is draining. Some apps drain more other less.

I have to not optimise whatsapp and messenger, this 2 could affect standby too, but its my choice.

You can always test.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dreadish:
I was getting 5 hours SOT yesterday, with mostly 4g browsing few recordings with camera and gaming for about 25 min. was around 10% battery left.

Using data connections drains a lot faster then wifi. Especialy if signal is not full bars reception. 4G half reception for example with 30% of brightness set continus browsing takes 15-20% per hour.

Ill post screenshot next time

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dreadish:
Still i just tested video movie. Wifi, bluettooth off - only cell reception 2 bars .

Brightness set on 20-25% , powersaving middle ON- it took 7-8 minutes for 1 % of battery. This means ONLY under sthoes conditions, screen on time would give 10-11 hours - meaning turn wifi on, brightness on little higher level u get 8 hours then. BUT if you start surfing the web and mixed use, u get 5-6 hours tops!!!!

If you looked under batterylife of thoes screenshots who had 8 hours or so - they didnt use phone much in browsing or video playback - they prolly just had screen on too test and brag about batterylife.!!!

First charge on G950FD
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cavags5:
So i assume you are a expert to say its not possible, 10h on wifi,.

I have been testing Nougat since beta on my last s7edge, i know a little how this works, maybe if you read a little more you learn.

I with 4G only do 5h to 6h, and remember the apps you choose is important, uninstall and disable what you don't need but not to much, and use only what you need.

I don't use BK, use Adhell app and disable only bixby and AOD because have a bug.

Auto brightness on, maybe around 20 to 50 depending on the light.

Since there is no way to stop instant apps for Google services to install it self, i disabled playstore and enable when i need or remember.

Wifi is always on, but when apps sleep well during the night drain around 3%.

What do you need to know more.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Galactus:
Ahh I see you are still at it. Have you finally stopped tinkering lol? Is there battery bug with the firmware like on the S7 edge? Or are all firmware the same now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dreadish:
i got 2 or 3% lost over night as well, its good, but getting 8 hours on average everytime, this is really huge. If u use phone half web half videos and others mixed stuff, when on wifi or 4g, its almost impossible too get 8 hours SOT. Singnal drains a lot even when its full bars.

Also i tested another thing - used airplane mode, no wifi or radio singnal, got almost 2 hours SOT movies mostly and still 85% left meaning 1 % drain per 7-8 minutes . If i continue like that i would get 8 hours SOT - but thats it. If i start using wifi web for example, the phone quits after 5-6 hours SOT

Disabling Playstore - did it do much difference in battery?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] cavags5:
The only bug i notice is on AOD in s8 since out of the box.

This time in s8 i don't flash anything yet, only one reset and 2 OTA updates.

Its only optimised.

Like I said in wifi its possible and don't need airplane on or power savings.

Today i don see any movies yet, only browsing for some wallpapers, Facebook and installing some emails apps to test, mine stop working after update.

As you can see in the screenshot i have always 1bar signal at mu home and its not a big problem, if i have 4G on with one bar that yes it drain fast.

Im here to help not to deceive people.

The trick is you choose and check what app os drain more your battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dkido:
This is from 87%, and I belive I can pass 10hrs SOT even with this.

Wifi always on

Auto brightness

No power save

Idle (aod off): 3hrs/1%

Idle Aod on: 45min/1%

Facebook/web browseing: about 7min/1%

Screen on but not heavy load or uses internet: about 13min/1%

It pretty hard to completely drain out of battery now. And I usually charge at 20%. So, on real life, about 7-8hrs SOT, and still have about 20% left. May be less if I used heavy app example Line videos calling (2.5min/1%)
