lately my avg SOT is 4 hrs. once upon a time I could get over 5 hrs/ guess something is chewing my battery lately.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] Draegloth:
At the start when it came out from box, the battery was okay, but nowadays, even after factory reset its just simply bad. 2-3 hours of browsing with chrome took 40-45% of battery with low brightness display and fullHD resolution. Its just disappoointing.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] DaReDeViL:
9h SOT ! The best I've ever had across all past years flagships I used...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] bravo_alpha1:
Best SOT for my S8 was 7 hours. But after having the phone since release, I'm probably averaging like 5 hours SOT.

I'm medium-heavy user on AT&T, Nova, heavy social media, 4 emails syncing, Waze GPS at least 1 hour each day, Amazon Music at least 1 hour each day, Youtube, shopping online and Amazon.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] loris100:
The S8 is kinda disappointing, cant get more then 5.30h SOT...with my S7Edge got 9h at best and usually more then 7h...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] bravo_alpha1:
That's bad? One of the best screens and 5.5 hrs is not good enough?

I get 6 majority of the time.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] AB__CD:
Sent my S8 in for a screen repair, and they replaced my battery as well. Getting better numbers out of this one than before. Consistently 4.5+ h, and today got 6 on mixed Wi-Fi and LTE. Can definitely get 7 on Wi-Fi alone.

How are You guys having 5h+ SOT? I barely get 3h.

Do you have any suggestions?

Many thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] dragvandil:
Must be some of your apps, maybe also try to debloat your phone. One of the first things I did was debloating it and only installing apps that i know dont drain the battery and now i get always 7-9h SoT ( S8+)

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] pantapanta1:
I am getting barely 3.30h SOT and now am on 35% battery left. The mah that all my apps use is 1460. Based on that usage i should have like 1540mah available for usage and that translates to 60% battery. So i guess that either i don't know maths either samsung has screwed up something with the software. (1 month old galaxy s8)

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] Pixelguy:
These SOT threads frustrate me ? there is no way your getting over 8/9 hours on a 3000ma battery unless your using your smartphone the same as a nokia 3210!

Can someone give me a realistic SOT for a heavy data user? (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat)

Currently get 3.5 hours SOT from my Nexus 6P but looking to upgrade to an S8.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] MRm0g0:
I'm getting around 3h SOT. I don't know how these people are getting this crazy 5h+ of sot.

I disabled almost everything. I don't know what to do more...

BTW, the phone is superb

PS: I have his android os that is killing me.ill try to do a factory reset to see if it'll help. Currently SOT is 1h
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] hpagliettini:
Can you tell me the configuration do you use? Ex kernel?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] ciolnadu:
2 to 3 hours SOT that if u use all every thing that great phone cand do:

wifi - always on

mobile data - always on

AOD - always on

bluetooth with 2 devices (watch and headset) - about 6-7 hours a day

location - always on to max accuracy

auto brightness

.........
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] AlexAlonso:
You have to set off the data saver. When it is on create a conflict with the Android OS draining your battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] ryanpm40:
I'm getting decent SOT with my new S8+ I got yesterday. 12 hours on total, 2hr 48 min screen on, and at 47% right now. Doesn't remotely compare to the V30 but not bad.

My V30 has AOD, I left it on my desk at 32% at 12am last night, came back to it at 22% at 7:10pm the next night. Can easily get 5+ SOT without throttling your settings. But dat display defect ain't worth it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] Jostian:
I have data saver on and am getting 5 to 6 SoT, I have no heavy drainage...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] AlexAlonso:
Weird, I just done it once,and Android OS was draining my battery, 22% I think. As soon as I disabled it everything was fine as normal.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] Raphael17:
Yeah, I'm getting roughly the same stats. Never understood why; I don't have facebook/messenger installed either. I'm lucky if I get 3hrs SOT with any phone I use and yet I see people with like 5+. I also don't think I use my phone that much. I reply to snapchats and check the twitter from time to time.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] istrikerx:
I easily got 7 hours+ SoT in a day with my S8 before I returned it after 2 weeks due to pink screen defect.

However, I have disabled most of the "features" Samsung like to bloat the phone with.

Specifically, I still used the Samsung Email/calendar/phone app, but disabled literally everything else that Samsung provided, even the samsung app store once the apps i kept were updated. Bixby was completely disabled, and is known to be a battery killer on the Note 8, nevermind the S8. I also did the usual black theme and dark wallpaper as I do with all my AMOLED devices.

The only social apps I had were Twitter (notifications off, no syncing, etc), and Whatsapp. Everything else was the usual chrome, couple of games, youtube, and thats about it.

Every app other than music players, email, and whatsapp were put into sleep mode with the battery saver settings, meaning I used to drop 1-2% in a 8-9 hour sleep overnight, with zero wakelocks if no emails or messages came through. Samsung are pretty epic for standby drain.

Thought a bit more detail might help as to why I get such SoT. I'm currently using a OnePlus 5, and at home on wifi I can get 2 days and 8-9 hours SoT with this usage.

Hopefully the S8 will get Samsung Experience 8.5 from the Note 8, or even 9.0 with an Oreo update. If so, I will definitely change back to the S8 for the camera and hopefully a nice display.

I had the Note 8 and the battery was nice, but the display uniformity was awful sadly.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] romskii:
My last run with my Galaxy S8:

7:30 h SOT with a 1d 22h standby time

active drain is currently 2,45%, overall 6,5%

standby drain overall 0,6%

With a custom kernel I'm getting very great results.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] Langduscher:
All time record for me. Stock rom. All wifi, indoors (low brightness), moderate usage

Usually I get between 5-8 hours of SoT, easily getting through the day.

Happy!

Edit: disabled all Samsung bloat
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] al3azim:
My phone fluctuates really (S8), this is what I got yesterday and still have a decent amount of battery left. Could have easily hit 6 SOT or maybe a bit more. Everything on for me (BT, Wifi), Brightness at 55% and connected to a Gear Fit2 all day - about 70% of the day on wifi, rest of course on LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] rockrossy:
How comes most people in this thread are getting 4 hours + and I can barely reach 2 hours , I have most of the advanced features turned off, AOD off location on and I keep my brightness below half. Any suggestions would be helpful :)

I am not rooted on stock rom

What kernel are you using? And what settings?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] khan.orak:
I had the OnePlus One.

Then bought an iPhone 6s+. Had a wonderful software optimization.

Now I'm on Galaxy S8 G950FD. I'm quite impressed with the battery life given the 3000mAh battery. Here are some stats.

View attachment 4313690

I use 80%/20% WiFi/Mobile Data.

Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Messenger etc.

Email Sync is on but at intervals.

Pretty good if you ask me.

This charge lasted for about 27 hours.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] Jostian:
you got data on all the time? or data off and wifi on, I know for me I get a 20% dip in battery life when data is on as phone continually 'pinging' for LTE/3G etc. with data off, things much better.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] hpagliettini:
Yeah... time of the day I use data... only in my home I use wi fi... :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] Jostian:
Using data will use a bit of battery cos phone is constantly pinging towers looking for LTE/3G
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] kamranhaghighi:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] Bal7o:
Which one?

Do you have a S8 or a S8+

Im thinking on buying one, but I don't know if I muss sacrifice comfort and bigger battery or comfort and a smaller battery (I have always Bluetooth, location, I'd like to have NFC on too, but no problem on having screen on +FHD) what do you recommend?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] Jostian:
S8+ was just to uncomfortable to use one handed, battery life is great with both, i went with S8 and am loving it, my first Samsung in a looong time and is the best phone I've ever had.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] Muntasir Mahmud Saif:
not so good

i hardly get 3.5h...most of the time i get 3h or less..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] crixley:
I'm glad to hear this honestly, I couldn't decide between the s8 and the +, and ended up going with the 8. I feel like the 8 is the perfect size, though I did still glance longingly at the + haha.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] recharged20:
got 9 hours sot with indoor usage, s8 exynos, noto kernel with battery saving profile on spectrum.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] abaggie:
Battery life can be a mixed bag in my experience. Sometimes it's pretty decent and other times it's so-so. I would say that I get around 3 to 6 hours of SOT on WQHD+ running stock and with some stuff disabled. Overall I would rate its battery life as sufficient and when watching video as good.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] hpagliettini:
Wow tell me how you do it?? Which rom? Which kernel and configuration in the rom and in the kernel?? Thanks

Hello! I have a question. I read all sorts of articles on the internet about li.ion batteries and how can you extend their life and I concluded that it is good to load between 40% and 80% but this way you can not enjoy the phone and take care of loading . Also, Dj Koh from Samsung said in an interview are new generation Samsung battery and lose 5% capacity within two years of normal folding. What is normal use, 20-100%?I use only normal charge. Thank you beautifully!

Guys how is the battery life after Oreo update ?

I'm confused which one to buy S8 or note 8 but i dont like the big size of the note but i still want a better battery life
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] Jostian:
I'm using BatStock ROM but before I rooted my battery was pretty good (I realised having data on kills battery as its always pinging cell phone towers looking for LTE) and cos I have wifi at work and home I put data off and battery improved 20% already. But I also disabled many bloat apps with BK (before I was rooted) and installed naptime app which helps doze mode kick in faster. and with that setup (before rooting) I was getting 5 to 6 hours SoT and 60 odd hours between charges (I dont play games etc. on my phone). After rooting the SoT is about the same but standby is better, just charged my phone last night was on 5% battery but had been unplugged for 76 hours, which is great.

Battery drains like crazy

Hey guys, I hope you can help me with my problem....

My S8 ist 5 days old, hardly any apps on it, and the battery drains like crazy. I can't make it through a full day...

Yesterday, I left the house a 7am with 89% battery, and reached 55% by 10am with 1hr 50min of screen on time. No heavy usage, whatsapp and google maps (no navigation, just checking where I was), phone was in medium saving mode for the whole time. At around 1:30pm I plugged the phone in with 32% and 2 hrs of screen on...

So far the phone has really been a disappointment for me. I come from an iPhone 6s Plus, which would easily last 1 1/2 days for me...

I will post screenshots of my stats later during the day. I unplugged my phone 2 hrs ago with 100%, right now I am at 85% with 45mins screen on....:(

Edit: I'm currently at 57% with 1hr 29min of screen on time. Let the phone sit for an hour untouched and that alone used up 5%....

The last Samsung phone I had, a Note 3, also had faulty Software causing severe battery drainage. Whats up with this company that, 4 years later, they still can't get their act together...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] crixley:
I'm at over 4 hours sot with 35% battery life left. I typically get about 6 hours. Not sure what you're doing or how you're using your phone. What is your brightness at? I get way better battery life than my 7 plus did.

That's bs, with my s4 i get 3 hours sot with all the things that you have listed there.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] MasterFlipFlop:
I wanted to show you my usage stats, but I cant, I have to have 10 posts first... oh well :rolleyes:

I have AOD display off, bluetooth off, auto brightness.

Yesterday I got 8h, 43min of Usage, with 2hrs 22min of screen on time and was left with 34%.

Battery usage was caused by:

Display 15%

Android-System 11%

Android OS 6%

Standby 5%

Whatsapp 5%

Google Services 3%

Battery on Standby 3%

Deezer 2%

Samsung Health 2%

Instagram 2%

Snapchat 1%

Now that all adds up to 45%, so where did the rest go?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] crixley:
I'm cool with this
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] crixley:
WhatsApp is horrible for battery life. You should use bkdisabler and disable some bloat too. That was probably the biggest game changer for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] rascal0pl:
This phone is amazing.

Wifi always on, LTE, sync ON, AOD ON. Localization off.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] jco23:
i've seen that happen before when google was trying to push an update for their Play Services. I would recommend to go into the Play Store and refresh your apps list to see if anything is pending.

Also, are you utilizing the Battery Performance feature? this appears to replicate greenify (i currently have greenify installed, but am debating on removing it now). also, as someone mentioned, adhell could help in terms of blocking those ads from trying to run in the background.

as for me, I'm getting decent time with AOD off (I scheduled it to turn on at night when I charge it), bluetooth/wifi/mobile data/GPS high accuracy always on.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] kris54241:

iPhone6plus to SamsungS8

I'm loving the new phone. But maybe it's just because it's a new toy. I miss some of the jailbreak tweaks and I'm yet to read on about rooting.

I agree SOT is dependent on use case basis. Anyway, here's my settings:

1.) 5 min

2) FHD+

3) Black theme

4) black homescreen wall and black and white lockscreen wall

5) Facebook disabled, messenger installed but haven't signed in yet

6.) Auto brightness ON

7.) AOD off

8.) mobile data off, always on Wifi, BT manually set when BT headset is being used and activity tracker is being synced

9.) manually disabled some app mobile background usae and settings

10.) added most apps to "Always sleeping apps" setting

11.) 6 email accounts all on Auto Sync schedule

12.) Location on (high accuracy)

13.) Bixby off, Gnow off

14.) No social media apps, unless you consider reddit and flickr as one

15.) Screen is set as AMOLED photo (no other reason than just trying this out when I sent photos from my mirrorless to the S8)

EDIT: my 3 year old iPhone6plus would've lasted half a day with the same usage. WIth the old phone having only 16gb, I'm loving both the 64gb (+expandable) memory and the battery of this s8.

EDIT 2: And this s8 fits like a glove on my hand compare to the 6plus where I constantly have to use both hands.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] jco23:
in terms of settings, I have everything on: WiFi, mobile data, bluetooth (constant connection to my watch, pairing with my car too), GPS high accuracy, multiple email accounts syncing. lone exception is that I set AOD off until at night when I charge it on my wireless charging pad. I also have bixby turned on.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] cricketgirl90:
What can I do to improve battery life? FHD doesn't help. I need the AOD
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] jco23:
- disable apps that you don't use

- block notifications of apps that you don't need notifications from

- lock your screen when not using it

- check your cell signal (areas like basements struggle to maintain a cell connection, thus burn through battery the most)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] cricketgirl90:
All done . I guess I need to disable AOD :(

I love the phone. But the battery life is disappointing. I was thinking of upgrading to note 8. But it doesn't have a decent battery life either. Might as well stick to this one then

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] jco23:
I set AOD to turn on at night when it's charging.

Battery life has been better than my prior device which had a larger battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] cricketgirl90:
What's the use of of AOD when you switch it on at night???

Sent from my SM-G950FD
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] jco23:
I really do not need AOD during the day since I have my watch and can tell what notifications are important from the LED lights.

If I wake up in the middle of the night, I can quickly glance at my phone (laying on the nightstand next to my bed) to see if there's anything important without having to wake the screen.

Plus, others have shown that AOD does in deed reduce daily battery life, so if it's on while charging, no harm.

But this is obviously a personal preference if you need to be looking at your phone every minute throughout the day. As for me, I try to avoid looking at my phone and focus more on looking at people instead.
