Hello peeps,

some story:

"

Just 3 days ago i bought my S8 comming from iPhone 7 Plus ( imagine the worry i had ) because of the phone sive/screen .

the 7 plus had a great battery which never disappointes you and yea i thought the s8 is the same.

first day i noticed the drain and i thought it is because the app downloading and so on .

some personal searching and tries here it is

"

To The Solution ( 2 ways to be done ) .

1 : Apps Location permission

Battery drains because of the GPS , any app with the permission could wake the gps and use it without using the app .

1- Go to settings -> Apps -> Press thr " 3 dots " ••• -> App permission

2- here is the treasure *huehue*

Go to " Location "

• Uncheck everything ( if you wanna keep some your choice but to see if the drain is stopped )

EXCEPT !

• √ Google play services ( sadly a MUST )

• √ Google ( for google assistant )

TA Daaaaa ! Done :laugh:

------------

2 : from Apps -> Google play services -> Storage -> Manage storage -> Clear All Data

√ nothing will be deleted nor changed from your google account

-------

Hope this helps you and cheers you up as it did to me when i reached to it :laugh:

the 3rd day im testing the battery with

AOD always !

LOCATION High accurasy

FHD+

WIFI 80% | Data 20% of time

Edge lightining

Youtube Fb Insta and so on

•

battery on 28-29%

with 5 h 30 mins SOT

cannot add attachments for a reason idk why :/

tell me the your results
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sukhi:
Doing step 2 would further add to your woes as everytime you clean it, it would again build up the cache resulting in further drain. I agree with step 1 and you can further disallow it for few system apps like Samsung Connect, Bixby voice etc. Populate the system apps from the 3 dot menu in app permissions. Those are the real suckers.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Quickvic30:
It's also takes the battery/phone about 3-5 days to learn your usage pattern, so at first battery life doesn't seem that great.

Another HUGE battery drain on the snapdragon models is IQ services, you will need BK package disabler to disable app services.

Two bad drains are wifi always scanning and search for near by devices, those can both be turned off in settings/connections.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Overloadhyper:
Great We have got EXTRA solutions . :good: :laugh:

Thank you guys :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dannytgt:
Great trick, worked for me even with package disabler, custom tuned kernel, disabling that location permission improves my battery life for about 5-10%. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Overloadhyper:
Great to know its working ;)

cheers for this.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 07argon:
What are the process names? Can't seem to find it
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] HanMan5000:
Surprised no one has mentioned Facebook and Facebook Messenger. Both of them use a ton of battery but it's hidden from usage monitors.

Uninstaller both of them and install Facebook Lite and Messenger Lite.

Even those are resource hogs, though, so you can use BK Package Disabler to disable many of their processes (I believe it's 16 and 9 processes respectively) and boom, low resource Facebook apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Xshooter726:
Thanks! followed the steps on here and will report back. I was getting about 4 sot.

The fact that Facebook comes pre installed really grinds my gears.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] HanMan5000:
Not just Facebook. Facebook, Facebook messenger, and two additional Facebook apks that deal with its own update system. It's ****ing ridiculous.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] linom:
Not sure if we know about this. I tried it out for FB and it works: https://www.xda-developers.com/freeze-app-background-processes-without-root-android-nougat/

The apps just dont use any services when in background. No need of any drastic steps
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Quickvic30:
It's in Android system app/services/iqservice tick to off, this is using BK package disabler only, I don't think the other package disablers have this option to shut off specific services within the app like BK disabler does.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] rafael3r:
Works for me! Thanks very much!

I looking for a solution have months. My galaxy S7 had the same problem and I had to sold. I bought S8 and after few week the same battery problems occurred. This is the only solution that really worked Thank very much!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Androidnotiphone:
Doesn't work?

What S8 are you using? Because there is no location option in my app three dots , nor is there a clear all data option in Google play services...
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] djtiesto22:
Disabling device maintanance also work for me as it running all time for no reason if you know how to clean, maintanace your phone. Nothing is broken only now cant see battery usage but install some sort of battery monitor app if you need this reports of usages..

Or you could just turn your GPS off when you're not using it lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] davidisflash:
This. If it weren't for fb and messenger, my battery life would be steller. With moderate use, thanks to them, I drain about 10-15% battery an hour. I caught them using the SystemPanel 2 app.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] thejackalsmark:
Anyone know what "IntelligenceSevice2" is? Safe/beneficial to disable or no?

PS: I hibernate all apps except Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, Snapchat, Pulse SMS [because I really want to be able to text from a web client] and Google Assistant and Maps...

Gives me battery life until the end of the day
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Anonaru:
Hey there,

Curious-- Services come up as "ABC" for me, and I have no way of getting into them or changing them. This appears to be the case for all apps. Happen to know what might cause something like that to occur?

Edit: Ofc I knew this wasn't the place to seek support for this app, but was hoping the quoted was experienced with it-- that aside, I figured it out :) You have to use an older version of the BK Plugin (V2, build 1.11) in order to disable individual services. Sweet!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrbright25:
Could you link the apk please? I can't seem to find it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] gtrs36:
Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Anonaru:
You bet! It is specifically the plugin that needs a specific build version:

https://kunkunsoft.wordpress.com/news_2/

Just in case that link looks too weird for you, you can confirm the dev posted it as a response on their Play Store Review page (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kunkunsoft.packagedisabler&hl=en)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] iamnotexisting:
Oddly enough, I don't have IQservice listed under Service in Android System. I'm on Oreo Beta 4
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Anonaru:
Me either! I did end up disabling a few services here and there though. Wonder if it is no longer a thing in the newer builds?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] iamnotexisting:
My guess is that it either got renamed or moved somewhere else. Who knows?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] thevmax:
Sorry, but this option does not work for me.

After trying this, most of my functionality is gone.

Although most of us are unhappy with the Battery in the S8,

the reasons I bought it were for functions I use.

These require notification updates.

So I charged up to 100% and overnight my battery level went down to 92%.

This was after removing all the notifcation updates,etc.

YES, it was better, but at the loss of functionality.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Anonaru:
Eh, being a little more selective in what you disable can get you results without losing things you actually need--my drain is 3%/ 8 hours with the screen off, I still have Samsung notifications and the sort operational
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] chwads2k8:
tried it, doesn't work received battery drain notification from play services. Samsung need to sort their **** out
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] wezzel98765:
Today I tried a tip - reset all app permissions. This seems to have worked for me above all else! I was having to charge my phone two times a day before, it's now 730pm and I have 30% remaining

I've never had good battery on a Samsung device except with my Note 4

Hi, could you share your secrets?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] d33g:
Solid find! Fixed my issue after updating to 2018 patch on s7 930u!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Anonaru:
Disable everything you don't use is a good start. Don't be afraid to dig deep and nix some system processes. Murder everything Bixby, murder everything carrier related. With the service disabler part of BK Disabler, chase down and disable BixbyApp services which are spider-webbed throughout your phone (like a damn virus). These seem to attempt to frequently poll for Bixby, burning a tiny little bit o' battery each time. It is a lot of work, but getting truly a full day out of the phone is worth it
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Anonaru:
Added bonus of incredibly low RAM usage, never have things closing out in the background on me
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DooshPastesh:
I have my S8 from about a month and I was struggling with bad performance till now. First I thought that it was because of playing with phone all the time but now I found my solution. I've disabled bloat apps (like facebook, bixby etc.) that I don't use. I've reduced and disallowed background tasks under dev options, turned off animations, turned off bt and wifi fancy searching things and evrything is great right now. Without wiping and abandoning useful functions. AOD, full sync, max resolution, gps in batt saving mode, are all day. 4-6h SOT during 24H cycle without recharging. I usually make a lot of phone calls, e-mails, browsing, half of day on wifi, other half on Lte, bt always on because of smartwatch, sometimes tidal and occasionally a game. Where I live there is bad signal reception so I'm using wifi calling. now I'm happy with that I don't need to recharge during a day and I can use all features.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mejcmpr:
One more solution to add...

Get a High Capacity battery...

**NO THIS IS NOT MY EBAY PAGE** It's just a link to the item I bought.****

h++ps: //www.ebay > com/itm/High-Capacity-Samsung-Galaxy-S8-Replacement-Internal-Battery-3800-mAh/372032184366?epid=2155040929&hash=item569ed8a02e:g:RdAAAOSwQQdZgWnQ

Buy it from where ever you want or another brand for all I care, But this has been my solution to the samsung battery drain issue since the s4 was released :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] malimukk:
I dont see whats the point of having one of the best phones money can get and then having to disable things such as animations to get it working smoothly..

What the hell is wrong with samsung.

A big regret is that I bought this phone..
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Anonaru:
Shouldn't have to disable background processes and animations to get smooth performance... If you're not on Exynos :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Extreemator:
What a stupid idea, as your solution. You are mad fixing genuine battery by gold brick of manure.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DooshPastesh:
The worst thing in Samsung is that before Galaxy I had budget Xiaomi redmi prime. And nothing beside of screen and camera is different in functionality for my needs. Battery was great and phone was blazing fast. I'm surprised that I have top spec phone and I must struggle with lags and battery. I'm happy that I have all these fancy add-ons but overall functionality isn't much better than any Chinese budgets. It's just a phone that I overpaid. But still wonderful phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mejcmpr:
HAHAHA!

Yah, mad about HALF as much as I was with the OEM brick!

The "gold manure" you speak of lasts for 4-12 hours longer than OEM batteries depending on the model of the device.... Maybe you've had bad luck... BUT i've only gotten 3 "duds" out of the 100+ i've replaced for clients over the past 5 years!!! And I use them for Iphone/ipads and most samsung phones....

At least 20 clients have taken the time to call me and mention how much longer the battery lasts compared to the same phone even when it was NEW! So talk all the crap you want! I base my opinions on results....
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] -_Zerone_-:
I don´t understand guys like you. You post here in the forum at XDA but you are not able to eliminate your problems with a CustomRom?

I have already inherited my s8 but with the Batman Rom it runs reliably every day as the main phone of a managing director. No lags, one day per battery charge (18h | 4-5h DOT) (with a lot of phone calls). I'm talking about Exynos Model.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Extreemator:
Right 4-12 hours longer. We all know that all samsung engeniers are more than mentally challenged, and any 4th grade chinese factory can out do them with just some spit and lithium. Hell yea guys let's all go buy some extended capacity gold battery, just cut open backplate and insert better powerhouse.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Someguy14201:
uninstall all facebook system apps and services, as well as snapchat. Big battery drainers imo.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] skezza:
So, I like others ended up with the pink line issue. Took the device today to my local service centre. They swapped the screen as expected but weirdly, when I got the phone back. It said it was network locked again.

They've assured me all they did was change the screen, but that's clearly not the case as the phone was running what I suspect is a different software.

Does flashing a phone lock it again? I'm completely confused. I've never had a phone lock itself again. Im also slightly concerned. if they took then my bank details, login details, messages etc are all on that NAND memory and I guess unencrypted?

[General Questions and Answers] baldybill:
Should I get unlocked Pixel XL or unlocked Moto Z? I want to root & use it on Verizon

I am a Verizon user and looking to get either the unlocked Pixel XL or unlocked Moto Z.

Both seem to be able to work on Verizon.

Both seem to have a root toolkit.

Is one easier to root than the other?

Is one better for rom support?

Any thoughts to help me chose 1 or the other?

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Any time you can get a Google Nexus or Pixel device you'll be doing yourself a favor. You don't have to worry about them being locked down like other devices because they are pure Google android without manufacturer/carrier crap on them.
[General Questions and Answers] baldybill:
Thanks, DroidDriven.

. . . .

Any one else have thoughts on whether either would be easier to root, etc.?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Pixel devices are easier to root and the easiest to create custom development for them. As I said, they don't have manufacturer/carrier crap. This means they aren't locked down by the manufacturer/carrier like other devices that have permanently locked bootloader.

Pixel devices usually get custom development sooner than most other devices because they are pure Google android without all the extra crap so there are fewer issues to deal with when creating custom software for them. Developers love Pixel devices because they are the easiest to develop for.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Where did this problem start? Did you cause this by modifying, attempting to root or flashing the device with something that caused this?

If so, about your only option is to use your device's flashtool to flash the stock firmware. If your device's stock firmware isn't available then you might be out of luck repairing your device. If this is the case then your only other option might be getting someone that has a device exactly like yours that is rooted and getting them to pull copies of the various .img files needed for your device then using adb shell to dd those .img files on your device. But, to be honest, I don't think this is gonna happen for you. You probably will have to take the device to a repair shop. It will probably be cheaper to just buy another tablet because the cost of repair will probably be more than what you paid for the device.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Your device probably uses SPFlashtool or fastboot.
[General Questions and Answers] ayu321:
Its pretty easy to fix a soft bricked device , even if stock rom isnt available , any rom compatible with his device can fix the issue .
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
To be compatible, the ROM typically has to be ported and that usually requires the stock firmware or stock source from the device that the ROM is being ported over to. 99% of the time you can't just flash a ROM from a different model number, even if the CPU is the same, there's quite a bit more to it than that. The android operating system is built for the specific hardware it is installed on, the two devices would have to be exactly the same and have the exact same components, any differences in hardware make he firmwares incompatible.

For this particular device, I doubt the stock firmware or stock source code area available, even if it were, porting another ROM wouldn't be necessary because if it were available it could just be flashed with that instead of porting a ROM.

About the only time a ROM from a different model number can be used without any porting or edits being made is when the devices are exactly the same device just rebranded with a different "name".

But thanks for trying to tell me something that you thought I didn't know, now it seems I've told you something that you didn't know.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Odin is for Samsung devices, not other devices.

The device they are repairing is not a Samsung device. They have this device and a Samsung device. The issue on this device occurred while they were in the process of flashing their Samsung device.

I know you're trying to help but don't post anything unless you are absolutely certain that you know what you're talking about.

In this case, you didn't and that can easily lead to a hard bricked device because they followed your instruction.

Stick to answering questions about devices you personally have dealt with, don't go assuming that you understand someone else's device. They are all different, the methods, tricks and tools for one won't necessarily work on another.

You understand android somewhat but judging by your posts, you don't understand the differences in devices and methods. But you will after you've been here a while.

DO NOT USE ODIN ON YOUR DEVICE!!!

Odin is only for Samsung devices.

thankyou so much for the fast responses much appreciated to take your time to explain. Okay i have a question what would be the course of detailed action to preform getting any and all missing .img's it may need. Also i know its a crazy question but would i be able to preform this in store with the displayed tablet that matches mine? How difficult is something like this, and is there any other methods at all I can try to boot past this bootloader. And now that i remember correctly from reading others this happened when I upgraded to 5.1 or 5.0 thank you everybody once again!
