I was getting around 7h of SoT in 60hz QHD.

But something really strange was happening, my phone was losing 2% in literally 1 minute after been unplugged, without any use.

I installed GSam and I saw this... Facebook is really poorly made.

I disabled it and my standby is definitely way better, but not as much as I wanted.

Also, this is the second day of usage.

From Note9 android oreo to pie, the method of disabling the program in the android system list bar to achieve power saving has started to not apply

After android pie, a large number of background management mechanisms and permission management mechanisms have been changed. Blindly disabling the programs in the android system list bar will only cause the disorder of the battery.

On High performance mode, the battery drains like no other, drains way more than while it's on Optimed mode.

For a comparison, the battery drain difference in between performance mode and Optimised mode was pretty minimal in the S10+ in my experience.

Hi i am using my S20 (not+) for a week now, the first an second day was really bad, now it's better but far from expectations, i still own my Pixel 4 ( which has a bad battery reputation) and S20 seems just a bit better.

The thing made me look the forum was the Stand by time drain. I just took off from the charger now, 2 minutes later it show 98% , put back on the charger, 10 sec. it show Full battery. Bad calibration perhaps ?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] K4Y3R:
I wouldnt say bad calibration.. the battery should calibrate itsself in the firt few charging cycles.

But as far as i can see the battery got better from day to day and is even with an iPhone XS max

Usually a low SOT is due to a process or app still running eventhough the screen is off and the phone is meant to be asleep. I set all of my apps except instant messaging ones to only refresh on wake. So they are not continuously refreshing in the background.

People should be banned from reviewing phones until they've owned and used them for a couple weeks. The biggest thing with all these call to arms bs threads is Android takes days to a week or two to adjust battery saving settings to give you maximum life without interfering with how you use the phone. I absolutely bet you my life savings that 90%+ of the people who say it's terrible haven't even owned the phone for a week.

People like you must be banned first. who just comment out of blues.

Thousand of users are criticizing about the bad performance of s20 series.

Do you think all are joking here. We have put our money expecting the superior quality product not junks.

I have been using samsung for past 5 years. this 20 series is undoubtedly the worst of all the series i have used.

i own an s20 exynos for a month and note 10+ as well.

Iam having terrible battery life on s20.

just use the device for 10 min temp raises to 40 deg. do u think its normal?

forget about camera can not use for 10 min, it becomes an hot cake.

I have tweaked to my best knowledge(optimse, put almost 90% of the apps to deep sleep, 1080p, reduce animation, disable most of the apps that i dont use).

but still i cant use the phone as per normal. do u this its a joke.

At the first place we are not suppose to tweak the phone. They must be used as it is out the box.

Kee the bet for yourself.

ppl are frustrated with the phone after pay such huge money.

I hope that Samsung will not disappoint/loose their user base.

hope they will release the good base firmware so at lease we case the phone as normal.

No offence. iam just letting my frustration that i cant use the phone as normal at these lockdown periods.

Have been having some pretty bad battery drain on my new S20 4g Exynos model. I have already disabled quite a few apps/services with CCSWE but still my S9+ with hundreds of apps installed had better battery life than this currently.

I have AoD off except for when charging I get the charging info down the bottom. The only thing I think that could be keeping my phone awake in the background with screen off could be the double tap to wake feature. Is that causing my super high 'app' usage in my screenshots?

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Sleepycat3:
Mine is an S20 Ultra Exynos 512GB.

When I leave the CPU monitor app to sit by itself, the CPU usage drops to the level as shown in my screenshot. If yours does not do this, that means there is a rogue app running in the background which you need to identify and put to deep sleep when it is not loaded up on your screen. Culprits tend to be web browsers, Youtube, Facebook. These apps chew up CPU cycles eventhough they are not doing anything in the background.

After setting all of my apps up properly so that the only ones allowed to keep running are the instant messaging apps. As a result, the longest I have been able to run at 60Hz has been 9 hours 42 minutes on a single charge, running until 1% remaining through normal use across 2 days.

Comparing the current draw between 120 and 60Hz, I found that with only Accubattery on:

120 Hz discharge current: 185 - 289 (642 mA peak when scrolling)

60 Hz discharge current: 129 - 224 (453 mA peak when scrolling)

Based on this, the power consumption difference between 120 and 60 Hz is up to a whopping 50%! Very high and disappointing as I was expecting maybe 20-30% difference.

I recently bought a Note9 and love it but am just curious. Can someone who uses their S20+ Exynos on FHD+ resolution and 60Hz refresh rate say how much screen on time they get without trying to save battery by power saving modes or turning off wifi, etc. I know it depends what you do but still, a user with relatively normal usage who does a little from everything would be nice to post their times :) Just curious how much better 1000mAh more would be over my Note9's 4000mAh.

Gyus you may try this bixby routines method for Medium power save.

If we try to set medium power mode from settings/power mode. device will drop to 60hz.

but with bixby routines we can still maintain 96 ot 120 hz and can save a bit battery & as well can avoid heating issue to certain extent.

I got the S20 Ultra Exynos version during lockdown on the 20th of March , so I haven't been out of the house much to judge.

Today though I had to go out pick up some stuff and our car failed and it wouldn't start running back up. So I had to make some phone calls for assistance to come take the car and search for some info on the matter.

I left the house at about 60% and came back home after about 2 hours and I was down to 48%, if I recall correctly. I actually had to turn on medium power saving mode an hour before I got home, cause I felt the battery was discharging quite fast.

I am on my phone a lot, especially these days since I am at home all day but I feel like the battery won't last a full day when I will be out of the house with mixed use.

It kinda stresses me out that the phone won't keep up when I will actually need it.

(I really depend on my phone, I suffer from anxiety attacks so when I am stressed I play around with it)

As for the camera, at first it was really disappointing. The photos were blurry and really bad quality prior to the update. After the updates, photos improved a lot. I am coming from an iPhone X and I have to admit the camera app was always super snappy and responsive. The camera app on the S20U, will lag sometimes and won't snap the frame you really want, or will take a blurry photo, especially with moving objects.

Unfortunately for Samsung that was never the case with the iPhone. I never took a bad photo with it.

Oh well, you can't win them all.

I have to say though, I have taken some really nice photos with the right lighting.

Attached a screenshot from AccuBattery, not sure if it's good ratings or not.

I have quite a few apps in deep sleep, etc.

How long you got the phone? I got it on March 20th.

Also, you leave it charging at night?

I try to avoid super fast charging since I am at home it doesn't matter if it will take longer to charge.

Ridiculous idle drain even on airplane mode

Not sure what to say really... hugely disappointed with idle drain. To the point where it's dropping 25% overnight 11pm - 7.30am on airplane mode. I have everything switched off except double tap to wake. AOD off etc. When looking at GSAM battery monitor Android OS and Kernel are ridiculously high see attached. To be fair I've only had the phone a week but at the moment have the screen off drains more battery than having the screen on... Has anybody else had a similar issue and seen it settle over time?

Better Battery Stats is pretty good. You'll have to run a few ADB commands to get the full potential out of it though.

GSAM Battery Monitor from Play Store is also pretty good. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] RandomJazz:
Are those better than AccuBattery? I need to find out what's causing this high off screen discharge.

I downloaded GSAM but it needs adb to enable more stats. I will try and do it tomorrow, since I haven't done it before.

Also, should I keep both GSAM and AccuBattery or uninstall

Accu?

I apologize for all the questions.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Meakii:
No dramas about the questions. I have Accu, Betterbatterystats and GSAM installed at the mo. I've always enjoyed the full potential of Better Battery Stats because when everything is unlocked via adb commands it explains the exact kernel wakelocks and partial wakelocks that seem to be the problem. I like to cross reference them and stats across the different applications but that certainly isn't necessary. In fact, I'll probably delete a couple soon as they're just going to add to my idle drain issues. But at least you're not alone. My idle drain is simply killing this phone with no clear indicator as to what is causing it.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] RandomJazz:
So I slept and woke up, my phone's screen off time discharge percentage dropped to 0.7%/h.

I use medium power saving mode though when I go to bed.

Now lets see how much the percentage will change under optimized power mode.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] RandomJazz:
I got the phone on the 20th of March, so 1 month and 7 days. The battery health is at 101%.

I think, it has do with it being in medium power saving mode during the night and so the background traffic is minimized

I have also disabled some apps and packages that were recommended in this thread along with some I don't need using CCSWE App Manager, that alone improved the battery drain dramatically.

But for example, I assume that if the screen is off and it starts updating or something in the background, that should be upping the percentage quite a bit.

It's been two days since I tried the above, so I am still checking the phone's behavior.

I wish I could help out more.

Accubattery is a very interesting application but I would not take it very seriously. All the information they provide is math calculation based on the current that is going in and how much power your phone is consuming at that exact moment.
