i really need some serious help here..:crying::(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] vegetaleb:
Sometimes I get just 4h and sometimes 5, I think it greatly depends on the screen brightness and background apps running, I guess to get 6-7 hours SOT they have put the screen brightness to 20% max
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] Muntasir Mahmud Saif:
i get most of the time 4h.. searched all over the Google..4h is the ideal...even mkbdhd gets 4h ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] ioancr:
No woodoo at all. I did get 7h and more SOT, but it depends on what services or processes are running in background. For instance, today I've forgotten to quit my navigation app which was active for 33 min with screen off (and sucked 6% of all battery!), the phone was getting warm, and it will barely get more than 4.5 hours SOT.

Love the battery life on this phone. Got this discharging from 100 on wifi only. Bo location no Bluetooth. With heavy usage, downloading torrents watching videos on MX Player. Downloading music and obviously the usual array of social media apps. Facebook, Twitter, IG, SC. Only issue I have is that the latest nougat update broke the fast charging on the exynos variant.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] apham69:
Snapdragon variant:

No custom ROM or anything, but I am using bk disabler. 0 dark themes. Mostly used Facebook, instagram, google chrome (30 tabs open), snapchat, YouTube and Netflix. Downloaded 10 songs, had a 30 minute phone conversation, and lots of texting. Location and sync was on the whole time. Only used wifi, max screen resolution, and aod off. 45 applications installed and 2 widgets on screen(1 of which is a weather app). Using nova launcher with the Google companion.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] ru_dimka:
Unbeliavable. Can not understand how did you do that. 4h of SOT is average for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] LegendM:
I guess that's ok :p
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] Miryu:
S8 exynos variant here.Im getting 3-3.5h max... Not sure what could be wrong... Hardly used it today. 20h on battery with 3h SOT very light usage and down to 6 % .No phone calls, sync and wifi on. Watched YouTube for like 15 minutes and checked Instagram, messanger throughout the day, not much else .. Any ideas?

I'm using always on display, but not sure if that could do such a difference from what I read.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] ru_dimka:
Install system panel 2 and investigate where is your problem
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] carlospaco:
Can you please tell me wich buildversion you have got.

I only got 4sot. This is amazing wat you guys got.

I also use bk disabler.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] ThaRealSaad:
I got that on the latest Nougat firmware which was AQL5. But my phone was charging slow asf on that firmware so I downgraded to AQK7 now, still pretty much the same battery life. I think the key here is that I didn't use any mobile data, location or bluetooth and was at home all day. If you're using all these radios then 4h SOT isn't a bad reading.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] Jostian:
Have you got data on all the time, data connection (especially on LTE) chows battery, if you have WiFi turn data off. AOD days a bit exorbitant if screen brightness is on auto cos then AOD can be brighter which does impact battery, install Naptime from play store it really helps battery.

Let me know you're settings pls btw I use snapchat a lot and instagram and most of all YouTube.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] Paddington:
I was having good battery life until recently. Today I am down to 42% with 53 minutes SOT connected to WiFi the whole time.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] prottoman:
Is that normal?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] :
Depends on the usage. I am on Oreo.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] corb06:
Get about 2½ hours SOT over the course of 15 hours long day. Battery normally around 10% then.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] hanifh:
thats just ace. installing stock Oreo now. coming from inconsistent SOT on a bunch of custom ROMs ranging from 3 - 5hr SOT but averaging on the lower (3.5 - 4hr) sides.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] popz dude 10099:
It gets worse after each update

When I first picked up my Galaxy S8 in May 2017, the battery life was astonishing. I am a heavy user and I received 7 hrs 20min on the very first charge. My previous phone, (which sadly got stolen), a Galaxy S6, could average 3,5hrs and the best I ever got was 5hrs and 5min on lowest brightness.

Therefore I was pleasantly surprised with the S8. Couple months in and after a few updates the battery started getting worse. Started averaging 4,5 to 5hrs instead of the usual 6+ hours. So I downgraded back to the software that it had from the box via ODIN and boom!! Back to the usual 6 to 7 hours!!

Fast forward to yesterday when I did the Oreo update and the battery is now terrible! 15 mins of SOT dropped the battery by 20% after I just installed it. Seems to have stabilised now, but I'm currently on 16% from a full charge with just over 3hrs SOT. Oh yeah, and the phone gets super hot. Will give it a week, if no improvements I will have to downgrade back to Nougat.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] prottoman:
you dont use any app? becouse you only have sot
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] :
I listen to music on Samsung music and all social media happens on browser no Facebook or instagram app. But yea, I do have minimum usage.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] hanifh:
day 1 was 3.5 hr SOT and 10hrs total usage before phone conked out. atrocious doesnt even begin to define it but this is day 1 and I am going to let it settle this week. also read a tip here recommending "keep mobile data always on" be turned off under developer options. done that and will monitor day 2's cycle.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] jasons1004:
Latest s8 oreo beta second cycle

Noice
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] :
Like I said before, depends on usage, this time was a bit disappointing but made sense.

I was trying to store all of my image onto Google Photos so I had to download and upload a lot from various online storage.

And I have been trying other launchers out so installing and uninstalling apps.

As to how I got that 2 day battery with 5 hrs SOT.

-> Battery saver was set on medium. No AOD and background data. CPU limiter on and -10% brightness.

-> I use Samsung Internet to browse social media because optimization and no background data.

-> GPS set to battery saving mode.

This time around I didn't use Battery Saver.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] AB__CD:
My battery has gone to crap lately. It's following the same pattern as my S7 and Note 5, except this one lasted an extra three or so months before it started deteriorating. I used to be able to get 5h+ SOT over 20 hours, now barely, despite having just factory reset.

FHD+, 4G, Location on, barely have any apps. (Insta, SC, Snapseed, VSCO, Uber, pretty much it). Patiently waiting to see if Oreo can fix it, if not Pixel it is.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] AllsGamingHD:
which version of update you use to have 6-7 of sot ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] Vogal:
Yup, you have the same problem with Samsung´s phones has i do.

In the beginning around 5h sot easily, a couple of months ahead i barely make 2.30h Sot. Since my S4 its the same problem (and i had it all).

The good news is that i already thought on a solution: I don't even care about S9... My next phone won't be a Samsung device!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] ehl.ey14:
why is the my SoT is only 3 hours? :(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] Knox316:
Because you probably have all Samsung services activated as i do.

I have had a pretty terrible run lately. I barely get 3h of SoT, here is an album of my settings : https://photos.app.goo.gl/bk7QtzvBzOQ9hKhC3 (S8+, FHD+, Oreo)

Does anyone know what is wrong with my phone? Except watching a 20 minutes DBS episode this morning, I have used it only to send messages (Facebook messenger - I know it's a battery sucker but my GF loves the stickers ... Lucky me).

I would appreciate any help, I love my phone other wise

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] actinhic:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] docfunk:
This is exactly what I was looking for, this confirms that Samsung never really fix the battery problems that pleague all Samsung devices,

Galaxy S2, replaced the battery twice with in 1 year, got rid of the phone after the S3 came out.

Galaxy S3, replaced the battery after the fist year, phone would go in a boot loop after it got to 30% battery ..

Note 4, replaced the battery twice with in the fist year.. phone would also go in a boot loop after it got down to 20%

Galaxy Camera, the battery compleatly died with in 6 months, I think the Note 4's fast charger killed the battery..

One of the big problems is Samsung using low grade battery's and the quick charger is probably killing the battery faster. I still have the Note 4 with a new battery and it's been fine since I don't use the quick charger, I normally slow charge at 1.5 amps over night and the phone is good for the day..

My main phone has been a Huawei Mate 8 for over 2 years and the battery is just starting to fade, I still get 1 day on a charge, Unplug at 8am, I usually still have 40 to 50% round 12am, I work in IT, so I use tones of different apps,VoIP mail, what's app, Skype, telegram, Microsoft teams, slack, line, i play the same 3 games almost every day.. plex drains my battery pretty quick if I forget to close it after I'm done listening to music.

The reason for me writing this is because I was thinking of getting the S9, but I think I'll just replace the battery in my Mate 8 and use it till it dies, it's fast enough for what I need it for.

hi,

i had just upgraded my dell axim x50v with A03 rom.

It doesnt have a ftp bluetooth and connection cannot be made because it doesnt offer any sevices.

pls advice , do i need to install any additonal pbluetooth program ?

thanks.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Cricri:
What A03? WM5? WM6? Or is it just the point of the game to guess?

For info, I have WM6 A03 Beta 1 and bluetooth works fine (with my GPS at least, so the serial port service works).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jameswongts:
dell axim x50v wm6 ao3

how about the ftp bluetooth file transfer ?

are they working ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Cricri:
Dunno, I really only use bluetooth for the GPS.

It's well known that WM6 has issues with WiFi and WPA on X50v, but with bluetooth, I assumed everything was working (since COM ports work fine).

I used bluetooth for network sharing at some point, which required a hacked Widcomm driver for a USB dongle, but that's a different story (and a different PPC using a CF bluetooth card anyway).

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] tele_jas:
I lose about 3% an hour while I sleep. No other phone I've owned has drained that much.

I'm sure it's an app sucking the juice out of it.... I've restored it back to clean factory setting 3 times, after a few weeks it always goes back to about 3% an hour.

I uses Gsam battery monitor, but it shows nothing out of the ordinary other than: System, Samsux DeX (which I don't use), or the Kernel is usually really high.

I LOVE everything else about this phone, other than this.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] F@XDA:
did your mobile data is always on while u sleep? bcoz for me it drains only 3 percent after 7 hrs of sleep with mobile data off.

with mobile data 10% battery drain after 7hrs
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] h4cked:
I have the same problem, with mobile data ON...phone drains 3% overnight (8hours).

My old Samsung S6 drains 0-1% over night with cell radio on.

all draining apps optimized with brevent.

battery draining apps disabled with BK Disabler + some gapps services disabled

volte + wifi calling off.

gsam and better battery stats show no problems.

But Android Battery statistics show high cell standby drain.

I think it is a modem issue.

I have got an G950F with DBT Firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] thenessus:
I lose 0.5% overnight.

Not per hour... but over the whole night.

No AOD.

Disabled bixby and all bixby services.

Disabled anything related to Samsung's voice services.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] JPsy Droid:
4% in 6 hours :) (bad lte 1-2, wifi on)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] Neo3D:
I lose 3% an hour too. I have an old Galaxy Note 3 on Resurrection Remix 5.8.3 (Android 7.1.2) that lasts 25 days on standby. It's the stupid LagWiz bloated OS!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] sp1312:
I have the same issue.. even in day or night it drains 3-4% per hour with AOD off. on Power saving mode.

Not sure what to do.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] Jostian:
I was having massive standby drain, even with Greenify, then I set up the phone with these settings https://www.xda-developers.com/the-...r-community-radically-improved-my-experience/ (see "Linked a screenshot) and uninstalled Greenify (read somewhere that it can get into a loop of auto hibernation which drains battery) and wow! from 4 to 5% an hour to 2% over 7 hours :) so am very chuffed!
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] Cyraxke:
Hi there,new to the forum and just wanted to share me experience of the standby drain.

[MENTION=3769428]thenessus[/MENTION] how to disable bixby and voice without root?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] ryanstuart:
It is because of the android apps that is running in background. It keeps running if you are connected to the internet. If you checked which cause battery drains you will come to know that majority of apps are consuming too much power. It is better to install those apps which requires less space and don't updates frequently. Gaming Apps, Time management Apps, Fitness Apps, News Apps are updated almost everyday. So it is good to uninstall it if you are not using it.

I have seen many people who install so many apps but never used any which is not only uses the spaces but also consume the battery power.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] Jostian:
just install a package disabler from playstore and select bixby to be disabled :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] serling:
I wish i can remap it into sound/vibrate just like an iphone or one plus toggle.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] Jostian:
You can remap it easily, just use bxactions app, works well.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] serling:
after i disabled all the bixby services, using bxactions doesn't do anything. And i cannot use control mode on bxactions too because i don't have windows machine unfortunately.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] Jostian:
You need bixby home and voice to be active to remap the button with bx actions :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] serling:
i just tried, it's kinda hit and miss action. Perhaps i need to use control mode to get it fully working.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] dearnemo:
same issue. i got both the s8 and s8+, both lost 15% after 7-8 hours sleep...

after some normal usage the battery dies arround 5pm everyday... this is really annoying.

the battery is the biggest but the only disappointment on my s8 and s8+, hopefully this can be fixedby system patch on some day.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Real Life Review] Rafael_HP:
Bought a second-hand S8 last week. It was opened from Jan-2018 and I rebought from the owner. My first feeling is it's very beautiful with color black mid-night.

My old phone is S6e+, bigger than this S8 but I feel ok after 1 days used. Battery is always the problem but when I turned off AOD, replace Facebook and Messenger original apps with Lite fb and messeger, the problem is solved. Now I can go out without a charger battery ( wake up 7 a.m and come home at 7 p.m - web, fb, mess,... not whole day but sometimes)

It's a little heavier than my S6e+ so I think the material qualification of S8 is higher also.

I'm not using screen protector nor any case because I think its the most beautiful phone without all of this.

P/s: Sorry my English is so terrible but sure that all of you can understand xD

It's a beautiful phone, but even though it isn't wide, it's thickness still makes it more difficult to type with one hand. The V30 is easier with one hand despite being wider mainly due to how thin it is.
