Thats interesting as debloating for me did absolutely nothing for my battery life, i deleted over 150 crapware and was no different
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Probably too much removed*. It may cause excessive battery usage if you remove a parent apk that a dependency constantly tries to poll or vice versa. Many of the small Samsung system apks just sit there unless needed. Some are needed for functionality and usability.

Target the apks that are battery hogs or eyesores like Digital Wellbeing. Know what you're disabling and preferably know all dependencies it may have. Find them by battery usage or bandwidth usage. All cloud apps are prime suspects. Google play Services which Gmail, Backup Transport and Playstore are dependencies are major culprits. Enable it as needed. I enable Google play Services to manually sync Gmail, then disable it. Playstore (disabled after paid for apps are activated)** and Backup Transport are always disabled.

*On my N10+'s, one running on 9, the other 10 both have about 80 packages disabled. This is in spite of 10 having over 100 new small Samsung system apks which I ignore. Some may be disable eventually but most are needed and provide functionality/usability or are used to preserve the UI's appearance. These use very little resources.

**you need to firewall block those apps then so they don't revoke paid for status, example Accubattery. Anymore I've gotten away from all paid for apps in Playstore because this and the constant Playstore power drain and meddling.

So I used the camera extensively a few days ago and then battery just plummeted. 1 hour of camera use (3-4 videos of 5-7 mins each, 200+ pics) and the battery dropped from about 95% to 50% in less than an hour. This means you can use the camera only for about 2/2.5 hrs before the battery drops to 0? I have the S22U SD version with latest OneUi 5.0. What kind of optimization is this by Samsung?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] kkapoorr:
I am finding similar battery drops during camera use. About 200 photos and 2 minutes of 4K 60FPS videos over 5 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Cams use a fair amount of power; they are processor intensive. Overall this phone plainly sucks power. Adding another high current load just makes it more obvious.

Shooting outside in the sunlight jacks up the display brightness as well which definitely eats power.

Try closing the cam when not in use, it may help.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] vodo_virus:
Hi Guys,

This is ridiculously unacceptable

89% battery drain cokes from app usage when it was mainly sitting unused... Also the main culprit here seems to be Android system

Is it a setting that I am not paying attention to?

Also bear in mind that this was on battery saving mood and I was using it as a hotspot for my tablet

Any fixes? brilliant ideas?

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
How much data was use while sitting idle?

Cloud backup running?

A logging firewall can be useful in tracking down the offenders.

That said all Samsung's should be optimized. First thing I kill is OTA updates and bixby... lot of stuff you don't need but what you want dictates what you keep.

Unfortunately a lot of system apps fall under the Android services umbrella...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] vodo_virus:
The thing is, this is AFTER killing everything, and putting all apps to deep sleep and I know it works because I do not get any Notifications

My inly justification would be the Tethering is counted as a "system operation" of sorts

normally it sits around 70% software drain which is still ridiculously high

Any guidance on how to identify the culprit ? or even a list of usual offenders?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Is it tethered? Why?

These are what I block on my N10+ 's in addition to disabling Google Framework and Google play Services (unless needed).

Excuse the mess but my export function isn't working for this app, a glitch and I'm not going to reload it just for that🤣

Some are 3rd party apps I block unless needed. However all the Google and Samsung apps shown as block are safe to do so... if you don't use them. Avoid blocking the dozens of new smaller Samsung system apps as most of these modify the UI, are likely needed and use little resources. Find and target the power hogs that can't be otherwise toned down.

Hey man, turns out it was a mix of

Find my phone 19%

voice wake 17%

and surprisingly text to speech 18%

I guess Google is very interested in what I say and where I go 🤦
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Always disabled.

Tap on AOD, double tap wake/off

No voice* anything, no Google quick search box, location normally off, all feedback disable and Google Firebase. Brightness is almost always set to manual. No social media, sales or banking apps are ever installed; browser login only.

These are my preferences as a lot of the droid tricks don't serve my needs... and suck my battery and good will down. This load remains fast and stable after over 3 years. No security breaches in that time. That one glitch I pointed out is one of the few present and likely the app itself. No updates, upgrades including apps. (unfortunately Good Lock apps evade this).

This configuration gives me almost no trouble and requires only a small amount of maintenance. Occasionally I reboot, clear the system cache, run SD Maid, Galaxy App Boost, sometimes Malwarebytes and manual backup (all critical data is on both internal memory and the unencrypted SD card) then onto OTG flashsticks and hdds.

*Google is way too interested.

Hey Folks,

I kept my S22U (canadian snapdragon) on android 12 since purchase. I am with samsung since note 4 and one thing i noticed is that battery gets worse everytime i updating the firmware (i always do clean flashes and disable bloatware). What is you opinion for the s22U? Is it worth updating battery wise to android 14 and higher or better keep android 12?

I actually get around 6 hours SOT mixed usage (some gaming, mostly browsing and youtube).
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] iceepyon:
Most people swear that it is good practice to do a hard factory reset after installing a major OS update onto your android device. Personally, I just wipe the cache partition as it takes about a week or 2 for the OS battery AI to learn your usage patterns before it can adjust the battery power efficiency settings to suit you.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Global power management never worked right.

If you get the power hogs toned down the SOT increases from there on, not a week latter. More Google bs double talk bloatware.

The S22's Snap chipset has issues with power efficiency it seems.

This is what it looks like with adaptive battery off.

View attachment 6074504

All buckets are active. That doesn't mean they're actually running though. Hand optimizing yields far better results than the lame global power management scam.

Some of the worst offenders it does nothing about!

The following types of apps are exempt from entering the restricted bucket and bypass the inactivity trigger, even on Android 12 and higher:

Companion device apps.

Apps running on a device in Demo Mode.

Device owner apps.

Profile owner apps.

Persistent apps.

VPN apps.

Apps that have the ROLE_DIALER role.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AndroidPurity:
I have been averaging around 8 hours of Screen On Time so far.

Snapdragon 12/256gb with T-Mobile.

That's with using light mode, FHD 120hz, usually around 60-75% brightness, and no gaming. Also mostly on wifi about 90% of time.

It's really good battery life. Not amazing, but still very good. I imagine if I used dark mode and 50% brightness or adaptive brightness, then I'd be able to get 9 hours if I really wanted.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] vendetta17:
I see here some brilliant SOT times at some.

Its frustrating me because i rarely get over 5 hrs SOT. I use wqhd + and manual brightness around 35-40. I dont play games, i mostly use youtube vanced but with screen off, listening to music. I got exynos, 3rd day of usage. I feel like throwing a party when i get more than 5 hrs SOT.

Shall i be worried, will it be fixed? Im seriously thinking returning the phone, i never had such bad battery life. Pain in the ass, as its first Samsung device i had in my life. I decided to switch brands and i get this issue...

Too many stories about battery drain to be all faulty units. This can turn into the note 7 debacle.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Guyinlaca:
Battery life on the Snapdragon model has been excellent. When in standby mode or doing routine tasks, it drains much slower than my Note20 Ultra did. However during long videos or Wi-Fi calls, the battery drain is comparable. I’ve ended the day with 40-60% battery remaining. I’m seeing 9 to 10 hours SOT.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] borijess:
I have a note 20 ultra. It's performing way better than the s22. The battery sux and wirelessly charging is horrible. Hopefully I fix comes soon or I am going to send this back.

With 120hz?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] koryonp10:
ya probably
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Guyinlaca:
Yes, with 120 Hz enabled. I do wonder if it has to do with the fact that my city has solid 5G UW now and I've yet to see signal below 4 bars. Also have been using my phone in a fairly utilitarian manner, not a lot of video streaming or picture taking during the week.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] s3fan:
I did a fresh install. Exynos version. Today I got 10.40 with 8.37 SOT at 13 percent left.

I went into settings, apps, then scrolled down the list. Anything using batterybthat I don't want or use I clicked battery and moved to restricted. I also changed suspend execution for cached apps in developer options.

I had some strange apps using battery, like emoji etc

Exynos S22U here. 6,5h of screen on time on my second full day and this is already better than my Note 20 Ultra. Especially the last 10% finally feel like real number, the N20U used to burn through them like a rocket launch countdown 🙃 considering the fact I am running on full resolution and 120Hz and used some demanding apps... I am relatively happy with results. Hope I will get over 8 hours screen on time after a few days and maybe some optimizations.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
I really wonder what going on with the drastically different results. I been running WQHD resolution since day 1 and haven't had any problems at all on Snapdragon. Here is my battery screenshot and also enabled the Protect Battery option and it only charges to 85% max.

Enable developer options by

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] can_85:
Like s3fan wrote!

Go to:

Settings > About phone

There find:

Build number

And tap on it 7 times fast

This will unlock you the developer menu!

Which you can find at the bottom of Settings page.

Once inside this menu, you can find the option to show refresh rate!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
Thanks everyone. I'm assuming it's okay to leave developer's mode on and leave it there in case I need to tweak other settings in the future like bluetooth codecs and it won't affect phone performance right?

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] borijess:
Battery life still sux. Snapdragon version. Drains while in my pocket.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
This is a common problem on Samsung phones.

You're burning up the battery.

It needs to be optimized and using power management to do so is not what I'm talking about.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] borijess:
What are you talking a about?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
The high current drain stresses the battery in itself and forces more charge cycles. Just one over temperature (high temperature shutdown) event can reduce battery capacity by a couple percent permanently. Been there, done that.

Take excessive battery usage seriously.

Every Samsung I have had from the S4+ to the N10+'s needed to be optimized.

If you think they will run great right out of the box you're in for a rude surprise.

This is an optimized N10+, estimated battery capacity is now 3600-4000 mAh. In a few more months this battery will be replaced. I replace the battery every year or so now to prevent a failure.

This is a heavily used device. As the battery ages it's SOT decreases.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
You, and you alone.

The price you pay for the flexibility and customization of this Samsung Android variant. I run stock Samsung's and they run very well but it wasn't always like that.

I play with this device a lot... along with reading is how I learned. Lol, I use whatever comes in handy.

The last thing I touch is the firmware as that can change the whole playing field and nullify any known workarounds and fixes. This N10+ hasn't been updated in over 2 years. It's current load will be 2 yo in June, still fast, stable with minimal maintenance and more importantly, fulfilling its mission.

That's what Android's are capable of.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Slade8525:
100% stock, frozen in time Note7 still nets me great battery life with the right tweaks... Snapdragon 820 variant.

Been using it since day one. Best phone i ever owned, honorable mentions to an HTC Kaiser II/ATT Tilt and a Sony s710a.

ATT, (my carrier) Samsung, and Best Buy (where i bought it) all gave me the run-around on returning it so i kept it and kept using it.

Trading it in on an S22 Ultra tomorrow via ATT promo.

i was overseas when mine came (two), recall happened, girlfriend and i split so she left them on my desk, when i got back in feb of 17 everyone told me to pound sand... still pissed about that, but its been an excellent phone and i didnt die in a fire. 5.5yrs its been my daily except for travel, still awesome, love the size and iris scanner.

man, they were/are awesome phones...

dropped the 1st one in a ceramic aink and busted it all up; had to use s-pen to get it to clone stuff to my 2nd, screen just did a schitzo-disco the whole time, but it worked long enough to clone itself.

Im keeping the one im on right now; its literally MINT after almost 5.5yrs, probably trade it in next time there is a similar trade in deal. Battery still nets me about 16+hrs with 4.5hrs SOT, i charge when needed.

samsung pay and a bunch of stuff is unsupported, no updates, but its kinda funny, ive had zero issues with it otherwise.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] borijess:
I have I note 20 ultra and it runs circles on battery life against the s22 ultra. I never optimized the note 20.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] volcolm:
I'm at 1 day, 5h on SD.

SM-S908W. Power saving disabled.

Battery protect on (max 84%).

This might be a fluke of my own stupidity but it seems

Accidentally caused the phone battery to be self calibrated (one full power off, charge cycle to 100% and left the phone powered off at 100% after 30 minutes after charge complete plugged in -- then left phone off for an hour with no USB plugged in because I forgot to turn it back on) -- before it was reporting and operating with less time, even with power saver enabled. I guess letting it sit for a while recalibrate the charge_max value.

It also seems I get the same use whether power saver is enabled or not. No point in having it enabled (it was mostly the same on my Note 10+, perhaps just not using it enough).
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] volcolm:
Also this guide available for those interested in how some are calibrating properly.

Seems a bit convoluted. But clearly these things aren't proper out of the factory.

Some are saying they never had one that had no issues, however, for me previously a Note 8 and 10, neither had issues out of the gate nor later on down the road so somethings gotta give somewhere.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
The only thing that really matters is SOT. Poor SOT has little to do with battery calibration.

To calibrate run it through 2-3 full charge/discharge cycles. I rarely do this as it's needlessly stressful on the battery and my patience.

With a 5000 mAh battery I would expect 8 hours SOT as a bare minimum.

If you're SOT is below 6 hours you got a problem(s) that needs correcting...

What battery charging limit do you use? Between 20-80? I can see some people use 85.
