[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Joloxx9:
From what I can say in my case, I have the phone for 4 months now.

I was not happy with the battery life at all, I wake up at 4:30AM and I am going to sleep around 9:30PM. I would call myself as above moderate user. I do not play games on the phone, however I use facebook, messenger,redditt, instagram etc quite often and to be honest - my battery life qould not last me a day. I had to recharge the phone usually. I will just add that I walk quite a lot, around 10k steps a day. I had to use 4g at work, some battery saving(with 120hz)

I noticed, I think since August update, everything changed. Phone is more reliable, I got constant 5G at work + no battery saving and the phone can last me till evening, yes of course I can be at 10% when I am going sleep but it is totally fine. Samsung did a great job with battery improvements.

Hi guys.

I have been the proud owner of the S21 Ultra for a week now and I am very happy with it. After almost 2 years I decided to give up my beloved P40 Pro. After initial battery problems, I have now managed to get by for almost 2 days without a charge. What I noticed when researching my battery usage is that the Google Play services draw an immense amount of battery or wake up the cell phone an unusually large amount and thus the consumption in standby is also higher.

Can someone help me here or name approaches that I can use to get this under control?

Disable Goggle backup Transport and Framework.

Disable Google Firebase, in Google settings.

Disable Google play Services when not needed.

Disable playstore if not needed.

Disable any cloud apps.

Disable Google, Samsung and carrier feedback, never needed.

Disable or uninstall all Google and Samsung trashware. Some is useful or only runs when needed... don't go too nuts.

Turn off location and wifi when not needed.

Clear system cache and in Device Care>storage, use system cleaner.

Do not toggle on power management in Device Care; simply close apps when with them.

Keep screen brightness at 40-50% or lower.

Use dark mode and wallpapers.

Turn off animations.

Ditch FB, it's malware... same for twitter, WhatsApp etc. If you can't fully access the site in your browser don't load their trashware on your machine. At the very least use only through the browser...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] jimv1983:
GSMArena battery life tests are a joke. They are so far off it's just laughable.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] jimv1983:
Using a browser for Facebook is going to be even worse on battery life. The Facebook app uses a lot less battery than any browser. Especially the Samsung browser.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Mini Jay:
You mean about the SOT on the s21U? Well I usually charge my battery when I have around 30% battery left (well time to sleep, and I don't want to wait until 0% before charging, so when I say 8h SOT it's an estimation granted). I join some screenshots of my SOT from yesterday and today.

It should give an idea but battery life at least for me is very good. And I YouTube a lot, browse a lot, use Telegram, WhatsApp, rarely Facebook but the app is here and I have a VPN turned on all day.

On average my SOT is 5-6H per day according to the figures and I unplugged my phone from the charger at 5h30am. By midnight I have around 30% battery left.

I use 120Hz.

Anyway I'm happy with that I think it's okay

You can only send messages using the app so it's useless online except for viewing.

Regardless to hell with fb; spyware, malware, crapware and purveyors of disinformation.

I ran it for 1 month, 14 years ago until I started to see/understood it's risks and liabilities.

Never again... fk that $hit, deplatform fb, gut it, fb is beyond redemption.

This site uses between 6-8%@hr on my Brave browser.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Limeybastard:
Battery life under beta 2 one ui 4.0 is rubbish BTW. With rubbish it's worst than 11.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Limeybastard:
That's not bad considering you have VPN and WeChat running lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Mini Jay:
Yes I think so too, and the reason why i estimate 8h SOT it's because... I join a screenshot, it will be self-explanatory

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] jimv1983:
Only 6-8% per hour of battery usage for a browser? Is that wifi or mobile data? If that's true I'll have to try out Brave. Chrome uses about 12% per hour on my Pixel 5 and that's on wifi. Samsung's browser is even worse.

Also, I just have to ask "purveyors of disinformation"? What are you referring to?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] jimv1983:
I see the phone is on 5G at the moment of the screen shot. How much of that usage was actually on 5G vs wifi? What brightness did you have the phone set at? 120hz enabled or not?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Mini Jay:
Excellent question 👌

On a typical day my phone connects to the wifi when I'm at home (6h30pm-8-30am) and at the office (9h00am-6pm). The rest of the time it's 5G. Though one day I do remember being out of the office so using 5G and i didn't notice any noticeable difference, it was pretty much the same battery life.

I use 120Hz and I use auto-brightness
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] jimv1983:
So looks like mostly wifi. I'm surprised that your battery life isn't much different between wifi and mobile data. In my experience my phone uses a lot more battery when on mobile data than when on wifi. My Pixel 5 battery life drops by HALF when on mobile data for the same kind of usage.

If you are getting what you showed on 5G with 120hz that's incredible. Way better than my friend that has a Galaxy S21 Ultra. Any tricks for getting that kind of battery life? That's like the best I've ever seen.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Mobile, I never use wifi, it's disabled.

This stock Samsung is heavily optimized. Google play Services*, Playstore*, backup Transport, firebase are disabled.

One of the reasons I run the 10+... it's under my thumb.

*unless needed
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Mini Jay:
If I don't forget tomorrow I'll run a full day without WiFi and will upload screenshots. I can't recall accurately but I just know that I didn't have any trouble on that day.

Well again I use the S21U with settings out of the box which is :

- 120Hz FHD

- auto-brightness

- AOD off

I delete an app call "Smart things", because I heard it was causing battery drain (true or not i don't know i just deleted it).

By the way whether you set your display at 60 or 120Hz some says that the battery life is about the same. So better leave that on imo

On a typical day I use :

- Twitter

- Instagram

- WhatsApp

- Telegram

- YouTube

- Spotify

- Reddit

- WeChat

- Samsung Internet

That's pretty it, I don't play games.

I charge my phone every morning, that's pretty it.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Mini Jay:
I post a screenshot of how it goes today with WiFi off when battery is 50%. That should be enough to give an idea on how the battery goes. So I maintain that wifi on or off, the difference in battery life is not big. Pretty similar actually View attachment 5435111
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Tristan17:
After using alliance shield to install beta 3 on my s21 ultra the battery has been terrible, I have factory reset but nothing helps. Should I give my phone more time to optimise or go back to android 11?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Turn off all optimization.

It never worked right that I've seen.

Disable apps that are causing trouble or are outright bloatware you don't want or like in my case emergency services, wifi, OS updates that you need to muzzle.

Leave the quiet ones alone. Many have only one specific function and are needed, at least occasionally. Samsung has added dozens of new apks to make Android 10 and certainly 11 usable. The raw 10/11 OS is a mess.

As I compare my two N10+'s, one on Pie, the other Q, the difference is shocking. Around 100 new small apks mostly to rein in Android.

Samsung did a very nice mod job at least with the Q load. My package disabler configuration for my Q variant is very similar to the one I use on the Pie variant. Both run well with good battery life.

Try reverting back to the factory version for Google system apps. Install their updates one at a time... if you must.

Try killing Google play Services when you don't need it. Playstore too. All cloud apps should be disabled.

This is something you need to play with until it makes sense... then it's easy.

Use Accubattery's logging feature to show actual SOT and SO stats to gauge your results.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] jimv1983:
That's interesting about the "Smart Things" app. I don't think my friend uses that so I'll tell him about that. It will be interesting to see if that makes a difference. I'm not sure what refresh rate or resolution my friend has set but knowing him it's probably whatever the out of the box setting is so probably the same as you. Although I do think he turned off auto-brightness since I know he finds it as annoying as I do. It's also interesting that you get good battery life using Samsung Internet. I don't know if it's more optimized to run on Samsung phones or a totally different app than what is available in the Play Store but I've used it on my Pixel 5 and it's a battery hog compared to Chrome.

Anyways, thanks for the info.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Mini Jay:
Oh Samsung Internet is actually good. To be honest I don't have any problem with Samsung Apps they are good. Never really understand why everyone seems to bash Samsung Apps but whatever, preference.

"Smart things" I uninstalled it directly so I really don't know if it's really the culprit for bad battery life and that was long time ago. They probably fixed the issue by then.

Well I will sound like repeating myself but if the battery drain doesn't come for a third party app, there is a chance that it has to do with the network 5G etc. And depending on your friends location and how good he can get 5G signals it will have an impact on battery life.

If the battery drain doesn't come from an app or the network then, the phone must be faulty, which case, need to replace.

Also it will sounds obivous but, your friend needs to make sure he has the latest update installed.

Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Manual brightness always indoors. I don't use my phone in direct sunlight except rarely and then measured in seconds. Display conservation.

I use Brave, Samsung brower and Samsung beta browser. N10+Snapdragon running on Pie.

Samsung for watching vids, 9-11%@hr, 4300mAh battery

Brave for browsing mostly, 7-8%@hr

Brave is more secure, but both have similar usage rates. Samsung is better for watching vids. Lol, Brave can easily support over a 100 open tabs, Samsung maxs out at around 30.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ace2468:
If the battery life is really that bad then try to conserve the battery by managing app usage and disabling some apps can help increase the battery life.

And some manufacturers enable some default features for the pre release of the phone into the market like they enable auto brightness in default or location services are turned on in default which you may need to disable them because they're the biggest battery drainers aside from gps.

Try to debloat your phone but it requires root and the bootloader a.k.a the OEM must be unlocked in order to delete bloatware apps which require adb commands but since your phone is over android 11 you can use ladb app as a local adb shell app to run some adb commands by using the wireless debugging feature and just input your command to the command prompt.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Garcia123:
My s21 ultra get a poor battery life after I updated to Android 13.

This week i disable chrom and now it look like it going back to normal battery life again..

I can live whith samsung browser 😉
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ariabod:
Lower screen brightness and use Auto-Brightness.

Enable Low Power Mode in Settings.

Turn off Background App Refresh for non-essential apps.

Limit location services and GPS usage.

Disable push notifications for unnecessary apps.

Use Wi-Fi instead of cellular data when available.

Update apps and iOS regularly for optimizations.

Close unused apps running in the background.

Hello, I'm a Kaiser owner and I'm thinking about going to the Diamond.

Can someone tell me how fast is the Diamond compared to the Kaiser ?

Can you play videos faster than the Kaiser do (with no lags) ?

Thanks !
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tnyynt:
I am an ex Trinity user and Trinities were well known of beating the **** out of Kaisers, and many others. Compared to the Trinity, the Diamond does a slightly better job in rendering videos.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dizzy33:
Ok, thanks ... So does this mean that the Diamond really includes the proper graphic drivers ?

I did search for informations about that but could not find any answer ...

I saw on a thread here that the Diamond is really slow using GPS softwares, you can see the roads drawing one by one when driving ...

So I don't understand how this device can be so fast in reading videos, and so slow in displaying GPS softwares maps ...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tnyynt:
I never experienced that GPS issue. I believe it might have been something with a specific app or settings.

Diamond has different chip than Kaiser so it is not correct to say that Diamond includes the proper drivers. But YES, Diamond has optimized video drivers for its own graphic chip which is VGA and 3D capable.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dizzy33:
Thank you very much for your answers !
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] PJ6363:
I've moved from a Kaiser to a Diamond and say that using Coreplayer the videos are the same...albeit the Diamond is suposedly faster....but I never had any real issues with the Kaiser either :)

What I will warn you about is the battery drain....I find that with sporadic use the Diamond might last 3 days. I've not tried it yet, but I would think that the Diamond could not last a single 2 hr movie, with backlight over 70%. I do like the Diamond...but it has lots of funky flaws.....if I didn't know about this site and the experts here giving advice on tweaking and "new" ROMS that are faster I probably would have tossed it on the first day...:D

....then again, all HTC products (including the Kaiser) are not up to spec when they leave the box!!

Hope this helps :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dizzy33:
Thanks to you for your answer. In fact my Kaiser is the pocket pc which has the longer battery life other all I had before (Casio EM505F, Ipaq 1930, Axim X50V, Qtek9000, HTC Prophet ...). With the Kaiser, I don't feel the need to buy an extra battery.

I guess that the VGA display of the Diamond drains faster the battery ...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] PJ6363:
Enjoy the tilt display as well.....the "dear ol Diamond" has to sit flat on the aircraft dinner table or you need to put a bread roll underneath it to watch your movie at an acceptable angle :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] darkenergy:
i switched as well, i managed to trade my kaiser for a diamond :o

reasons were better performance ( faster cpu en drivers) and thinner design

im loving it :D( my diamond)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] IBORGUK:
I am lucky enough to own a MDA Vario III and MDA Vario IV Compact (a free upgrade). I'd say the Compact IV compliments the Vario III but doesn't represent an upgrade. Personally most of the time I'll stick with the Vario III for the hardware keyboard but the Compact IV is a nice weekend more phone like form factor. Personally (and this is a personal view) I'd stick with the Kaiser if I had to choose between the two.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dizzy33:
Thanks a lot for your answers ! I think I'll keep my Kaiser and wait for a real better device (much more powerfull).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] darkenergy:
altough the diamond has better hardware and decent drivers there basically the same

the kaiser is basically the same expierence but more suited towards people who type alot using a keyboard

i personally like the diamond a lot more because its thinner and much much lighter

i dont care for manilla that much , i switched back to throttle launcher now

on the other way around, compared to the diamond the only thing that the kaiser has going for it is the tilt screen abbility if you can live without that go for the diamond or wait a few weeks till hTC bring out another 47 smartphones to replace the diamond/kaiser all together :)

Last night I updated to the new firmware and have had problems connecting my pokemon go plus( bluetooth device for Pokemon GO) with my phone.

I have noticed that if you unpair and try to connect the device it works fine the first time but then you have to unpair and connect it again in order to work. I reset bluetooth wifi settings. Reset the bluetooth device. Reinstalled the pokemon go app. Nothing worked. Any idea why this happens ? Should I try going back to the last version? How would that be possible? Any guides ?
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans] NOSS8:
For this you must unlock the bootloader

https://c.mi.com/thread-2262302-1-0.html

After:

***download the rom(tgz file) https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/lmi/ pick FASTBOOT

download miflash https://xiaomiflashtool.com/

select clean all and Flash rom.

****Open the tgz file and extract the "imi global image folder in the same folder as miflash. Rename the folder without space (ex: MIUI124Eu).

Use your pokemon go plus device on dual apps Pokemon Go, not in your main Pokemon Go apps. It will work normally like before.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brasscupcakes:
I'm guessing if someone had, I would have found something on XDA already but thought I would ask here just in case.

I switched carriers from a TMO MVNO to an AT&T MVNO (FreeUP paid plan). TMO used LTE 4 which the MM3 supports but AT&T doesn't in my area. The only viable band I can use is FDD-LTE 5 -- technically HSPA+ but pretty slow going. And I'm guessing even LTE 5 that won't be much good if COVID ever ends and I start driving again.

AT&T has a glut of FDD-LTE 2 towers here and little else.

Does the MM3's hardware support altering the NVRAM values? Has anyone here tried?

Many thanks!

Hey there,

I Installed this rom on my SM-T800 tablet. I took kernel is not seandroid enforcing message samsung screen but Lineageos can start. After starting Android says " system app stoped running" Is there any way to fix this problem. I want to use Android 8 on this tablet.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wellersl:
I recently installed Nougat on my SM-T800, and I have a couple of thoughts about your situation...

1. I *believe* "Seandroid not enforcing" means you tripped the Knox bit. It's an assumption on my part because I've never really cared. I've never owned a Samsung tablet that had a warranty anyway. Does yours?

2. More speculation. Make absolutely 100% sure you've downloaded the correct files for your device. I'll guess there's something in the GApps package your tablet doesn't like. In my case it was also the TWRP and Odin that made the difference. As a test, did you try to boot the device before installing GApps?
[General Questions and Answers] WhiteMoon-:
Hi everyone,

I just bought this phone and i noticed right away the first time that i opened Twitch that the videos have some kind of blurry, i compare this with a PC game without Anti Aliasing with the difference that in a game without it is not that noticeable like on this phone.

This problem happens on videos, for example Youtube or Twitch, i dont see if this happens on photos or apps icons too but maybe i just don't see it and it happens too. The only comment about this that i found on internet was on the Motorola forum with the same phone that mine and that person says that the icons are blurry too. I don't know if i can post the link to that thread but the way to find it is searching "moto e6s blurring issue", i replied to that thread and im waiting for a response from the Motorola support team.

Im attaching one screenshot of my phone (Hikaru playing Chess) where you can spot this problem pretty easy on the chess pieces, and one screenshot that the other person uploaded where you can see this problem pretty easy looking at the POCO letters. Im pretty sure you guys will see this problem everywhere on these pictures like i do.

Anyone have a clue how to solve this?

Thanks!!
