I guess the way a phone handles bad network isn't configured on this phone very well. I can get more than 24 hours and more than 6 hours of SOT on days when I'm mostly on WiFi or on a good mobile network and on other days, I can barely make it to 2 hours of SOT within 12 hours.

Question for the android champions here, is this something that can be fixed?

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] flopyro:
I did a hard reset - with no other apps installed, nothing, like "out of the box".... and there was the same issue

I've started the Phone in "safe mode" -->still the same !

so there is no solution for this problem ?

Are you on Stock ROM ....or have you flashed any custom ROM's on it ?

it think it's a kernel related problem, i am interrested if this issue goes away with a custom ROM ! ... but warranty :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] keboom:
Nah. Stock ROM. I just got used to it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] flopyro:
ok, i did the test, without SIM cards inserted (i forgot to mention it, i got a G950FD), and wi-fi switched off over night, the battery drain stops. Last night it went down only 2-3% and i had "deep sleep" in doze.

no i've left my phone home with wi-fi switched on, to see how it behawes - if i will have battery drain or not.

next step: to see how it is with only 1 SIM inserted an so on.

[MENTION=6350229]keboom[/MENTION] have you tryed this app for deep sleep ? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.suyashsrijan.forcedoze
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] thibaly:
You can process to a factory reset,sometimes software suck and it drain batteries for no reason.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] flopyro:
Hello, i already did it, and also safe mode (i wrote it a couple of posts ago) still same issue
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] flopyro:
Update from Test:

1 Night without SIM Cards and without WIFI the battery went down about 3% (~7h , no interraction with phone)

2 Day with WIFI enabled also down about 3-4% (~11h, no interraction with phone)

3 Inserted 1. SIM card went down 2-3% (~2h, no interraction with phone)

4 Inserted the 2. SIM card, and played youtube videos(playlist) for about 1 Hour, battery went down 13-14%

5 Over night with 2 SIM cards, WIFI activated, and what's app activated, went down about 12-13% .... so that's a difference of about 10% from the night before, bu still .. better then over 40% over the night. (~7h , no interraction with phone)

Now to my phone:

G950FD

Running AQF7

DBT/DBT/EGY

nASV_Group_G3D number : 7

LOT ID: NC4R4
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] domsch1988:
Problem is, those values mean nothing really.

You went from 3%/7h

To 3%/2h that's already 3x

Then, number 5 suddenly changes two variables. Is the added drain Sim or WhatsApp?

And that's the problem with measuring battery accurately. You can't without specialized equipment. You have no control whether your phone decided to sync something one night.

In the end, 40% in 7 hours is your phone not sleeping. And no matter how often I've heard that the phone was stock or reset or something like that by anyone, in the end it always was a rogue app...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] flopyro:
I can understand your point, but still, i am trying to find the app which consumes the battery the most, or which is draining my battery (assuming that the hardware is ok)

i just have received the the answerd from ebay that they accept my phone back, and i can send it to them to get a refund....now...what to do .. what to do ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] domsch1988:
Rather easy:

- IF you have done a full reset, with just setting the phone up and not installing ANY 3rd party apps, and IF the drain persists (after a day of letting it settle), you likely do have a hardware defect. Your values above imply that's not the case, but then return it.

- IF you are not happy with the state the phone is in and you got offered a full refund, return it.

I've been in the "My Battery life is bad" "Business" since the Original HTC Desire days. Androids measuring and reporting tools are abysmal. Finding the app that drains your battery can be down to trial and error. For me, 90% of the time, it has been the My Vodafone app. As soon as i install it, my phone does not go into deepsleep.

But, i don't use FB (known to drain the battery), Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram or all the other new, and cool social networks. In most cases those apps are causing excessive drain. WhatsApp has never been a Problem for me in years. Same goes for Google Services/Assistant/... Yes, they do use some additional battery, but not to that extend.

If you really want to get down and dirty with analyzing your drains, Look into Battery Historian. It's a open source project from google. You'll need to compile it yourself and run a Webserver to use it. But this is the only way to get really meaningful data about what uses your battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] flopyro:
ok, i must say thank you for the useful hints and for battery historian.

i can see that you're on another level....ok!

i'll take option "A" --> - IF you have done a full reset, with just setting the phone up and not installing ANY 3rd party apps, and IF the drain persists (after a day of letting it settle), you likely do have a hardware defect. Your values above imply that's not the case, but then return it.

so i have to get home (for WIFI), reset it, and just see how it behawes.

i don't have the time to setup the Historian, unfortunately. (by time....i mean knowledge)

i will get back in 1 or 2 days with results.

Greetings
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] flopyro:
Update: i have installed the AQG5 FW, factory reset, with nothing installed except the SIM cards inserted. the battery went down in 2,5h by 40%.

so this morning i filled out a DHL form to send back the Battery hungry S8 that i got.

Than you for your help !
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] smartjie:
bro, i think the weak signal might be the main problem for the battery draining because the same issues happen to me when i stay in a rural place , my phone sometimes got signal sometimes dont and i just left my phone and goes to sleep. Then the next morning, i find out my battery has drop from 70+% to 45%
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] flopyro:
Update: i have sent the Phone back, received the refund, and bought me another one, this time single SIM.

The old one i have bought it from Ebay, the new one i bought from a local shop.

here a comparison between the 2:

Old One

G950FD

Running AQF7

DBT/DBT/EGY

nASV_Group_G3D number : 7

LOT ID: NC4R4

New One

G950F

Running AQDG (i didn't want to upgrade)

DBT/DBT/DBT

nASV_Group_G3D number : 7

LOT ID: NBVB6

I don't know what to say, but this one is at least 2x better in terms of battery then the other one. (yes i know single SIM / dual SIM --> difference)

I have installed everything on it (standard apps: what's app, twitter, facebook, ....) and still good battery (i hope it will remain like this).

And this time my phone also feels cool in the pocket, the old one felt warm all the time.

So: i guess it was a hardware failure from my last phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] gyromanx55:
I have also been thinking about this since I have a similar problem. I have a dual sim unlocked S8 and when I got it, I installed TWRP and Batman rom. The phone was still on AQDG. I then updated to the latest Batman rom on AQF7 and the battery just hasn't been the same. I think that is where the problem is. So now I want to know if I can switch back to AQDG while keeping my current rom and kernel.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] takeclear:
I've noticed whenever I connect to a 5Ghz network, it's complete garbage. At my house, when I connect to 2.4 Ghz I get a consistent speed of around 75mbps, when I switch to 5 Ghz, I can't get more than 20 consistent. Sometimes it works super quick for a second, and then anything I try to do, web surfing, videos, downloading apps etc.... just suddenly stop as if I have no connection and never start again.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] shineyads:
No issues here with 5ghz - can only suggest resetting router and phone, otherwise perhaps you have a faulty handset.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] *justintime*:
Also no problems here. I find the range off the antennas great.

Did several speedtests and no drop outs.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] 4ktvs:
Just got mine and AC 5ghz works great. Getting 235/23 mbs on my home internet.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] andybg40:
I have the same issue. Inconsistent connection and slow speeds on 5ghz, only way to fix is a router restart, but then if i turn off WiFi and re-enable, the problem returns. Possible IP issue?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Sildran:
When I received the phone 2.4ghz was fine (110/110) but 5ghz was not (550/3).

I had to go to setting > WiFi > Advanced (in the "..." menu near the gear on the upper right corner) and uncheck Wi-Fi optimization.

Then I got 550/250mbps

Not sure if it's relevant to your problem, but you could try that.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] andybg40:
Good point. Seem to remember something similar on the 10 too. Thanks!
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Sildran:
You're welcome :) Hope it will solve your issue.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] andybg40:
Unfortunately, that didn't work. Got a replacement handset yesterday, just to be sure that it wasn't the phone, same problem happens?!

I use a Linksys router, if the op is still on the thread, what about you? Have no issues on other 5ghz networks. Well, the other 2 that I've connected to.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Deleted member 2496007:
I think I remember a bug with some Android phones on 5Ghz if IPv6 broadcasting was enabled in the router. Are you using this? Tried disabling it?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] andybg40:
Thanks, i'll give that a try. I've never had this issue with any other phone, it's very odd and actually frustrating. While I can fix it at home, I wont be able to modify router settings when out and about, so if I struggle to get WiFi on the move, i'll be paying a fortune for data, which may force me to return the phone.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Galactus:
Just tested mine with Virgin Media router and WiFi optimisation turned on. Maxed out at 220Mbps
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] riggsandroid:
I'm noticing issues on a Linksys router as well. My wife's old M8 had an issue that would go away when Bluetooth was turned off.

I messed with settings tonight and it seems more stable. I just made 2.4 and 5 on SSID, and changed all band settings to Auto.

*Shrugs
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Tachi91:
If its happening on other connected devices on your wireless network either 2.4 or 5Ghz try changing Router channels.

I've seen this happen on 2.4Ghz. Turns out since I lived in a pretty Wifi congested area the channel my router kept picking as "The best" was actually 6 and all the routers default to that channel. Literally that frequency was so bugged down my internet went from hitting 60-80Mbps down to Kbps. Wifi Analyzer showed all 12 channels were pretty full. I switched to 5Ghz only and immediately saw a difference, but the few channels I do have on my router are getting congested nowadays too.

Nowadays whenever my phones Wifi speeds hit the floor I do speedtest on other wifi devices and Ethernet speeds. If theres a significant difference I quickly use Wifi Analyzer to see if its time to switch channels.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] rchris494:
when i got my htc u11 unlocked i had problems with the wifi not connecting at all or if it did it would disconnect. i found that there was a software update so i downloaded it on my mobile data. once installed everything started working correctly. mine will connect at 866mhz to my dlink-879 ACN router
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] ticklemepinks:
The ivp6 thing or whatever is what I did when I got the m9, it wouldn't connect to my wifi at first and it was 5ghz
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] takeclear:
I forgot about that option. Had issues with my 10 when it came out a d that fixed it, so far it's working on my 11.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] andybg40:
Still having issues with this. Tried above suggestions, not specified a channel, currently set to auto. My M9 and 10 have no issues holding a fast connection. Getting a bored of it now, as trying to stream Le Mans and it constantly cuts signal.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] riggsandroid:
Yea my problems still exist as well. Were you the one with a Linksys router?

I solved the problem switching the 5ghz standard from 802.11 n+ac to 802.11 n+a on the fritzbox settings. No more drops or stuck Wi-Fi connection.

For my internet connection speed is enough.

So I definitely think that there is a problem with the ac standard. Hope that future Updates will fix the problem.

Same issue. When I try to connect to a 5 ghz network, I have to turn off Wi-Fi, then start it again. Once it reconnects, life is good. If the phone sleeps, I have to restart Wi-Fi again.

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] rkoolkin:
Update - After upgrade to Oreo

Update. Upgraded to Oreo. Better, but not great. If I turn off WiFi and turn it back on, or if I "forget" the WiFi connection, and reconnect to my WiFi, the 5 ghz connection comes up and everything is good. Then, after a while, the connection goes back to 2.4 ghz and will not go back to 5 ghz until I repeat the process.

On the 5 ghz connection, my speed is awesome. On the 2.4 ghz connection, it is not great.

I disabled the power saving and WiFi optimization, and I am running the latest Android available for my U11. Any ideas?
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] tal_sarid:
I can confirm that upgrading to Oreo solved all WiFi issues I ever had.

WiFi works great now! :highfive:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insomniacno1:
Hi, I'm on Lollipop 5.1(not rooted) on my FireFly Mobile Intense Desire, using Google Now Launcher and I think it's Googles dialer ver. 5.1

I'm missing an option in stock dialer's Recent calls, for sending SMS directly, the only options there is Redial, IP dial and Details - right now I have to press on the name, chose Details then the 3 dots in upper right, then choose Edit number before dial, then the dialer comes up and I have to press the 3 dots there and choose Send SMS - really a drag to have to do it this way, and what I call bad programming.

This is only when the number is not in my contacs. From contacts it's not a problem sending SMS directly.

So I'm looking for an Dialer app (only) I'm happy with my contacts as it is)) that works on 5.1 and can send SMS directly from recents calls - I looked through XDA and Playstore and reviews on the net, but I'm concerned that some of these apps has been sold to chinese companies and some send your call log to china - Zero Dialer seem to be one of these. Therefore I rather ask here, as I trust you guys more than I trust Playstore(there should be more security there, than there actually is).

And a small guide on how to replace my dialer app with the new one, without running into FC and crash.

Battery: 3,550 mAh Li Pol w/ quick charging(non-removable)

OS: Android 5.1 Lollipop with Google Now launcher

Connectivity: Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, 3G, LTE, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, OTG, dual SIM (hybrid micro)

LED notification in front

Loudspeaker on the back

Regular charging / data cables, 1.5A quick charger, earphones with mic, tempered glass with bluelight filter and clear silicon casing.

Edit: I decided to go with Asus ZenUI dialer and contact(I know I said no contacts) and its working just as it should. I had to take contacts because the stock would not work with other dialers.
