My battery life is nice enough. I use the Galaxy Max Hz app with the sensors off setting, adaptive refresh 120Hz-24Hz, and as well the power saver with -10% brightness, AOD off. CPU perf is set to default (throttles) and I don't use the 70% limiter (these devices have been smart enough to manage themselves well with respect to battery heating for years now)

I don't run many auto-syncing apps besides email. No facebook or tiktok or constant notifications (and I like it that way). I use a custom configured old Firefox .apk set up to behave like a full desktop browser for anything like FB or gDrive, what have you, instead of apps. Dinosaur behavior and loaded with potential rendering incompatibilities, yeah, but I like being in control of the device.

My usual day is streaming ~7 hours of Spotify over a bluetooth headset with ~1.5 hours of SoT at work,

I managed to leave the house with 98% battery and come home with 76% in a middle-to-low signal quality job site. Cannot complain!

I think Android's calibration/our battery hardware's calibration takes a little while (or perhaps a few 100% to 20% or less sessions) to accurately gauge the capacity.

For reference, my S21U set up similarly would usually come home with ~65-60% remaining. I did not use any sensors-disabled-while-screen-off app like Galaxy Max Hz with that phone.

The ultra high brightness screen really eats battery life. If I leave it at auto (I work outside, and usually take breaks/check my phone/change songs in the sun) the batt noticeably drains faster than dealing with reduced visibility on a manual brightness setting. It's a welcome tradeoff, and one of the benefits of OLED - Can see clearly in harsh desert sun light, even with tinted work safety glasses. I can have the brightness set to "80%" manually, and while it's much less visible, can still see and use the phone fine.

All in all the batt life, for me and this extremely specific use case, is actually better (with disabled sensors contributing at least some amount) than the S21U.

I thought I'd be victim to the claims of poor performance, but as always a little time with it in my hand has proved the most vocal complainers wrong. Again.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Rubby1025:
Got my S22u 256gig SD on T-Mobile about 2 weeks ago and have been perusing this forum for ideas on tweaking/optimizing. Very happy with the results with over 9hrs SOT with 25% remaining. Using 5G/wifi with FHD+ @ 60hz manual screen brightness, power saving mode and adaptive battery. I have optimized apps via settings but have not done any debloating. I can tell a few remaining gremlins in android so l'm looking forward to the next firmware update.

Venom are you on original U carrier locked firmware or did you flash U1?

AVCK?

I also have 512gb AT&T and I was getting 10 hours of SOT when I was on AVC8 but this new update is pretty bad, I get a half of that.

Is your service provider software version

Wondering if flashing XAA or USC will make a difference.

Hey! Good to see you! Glad you're still around. Haven't been messing with XDA for a minute. How do you get this crazy SOT? I clock about 4-5 hours with the same setup as you. Did you debloat? Do you have a link or something with steps to get to your level? (:

Venom's found the unicorn that's giving him more than double the battery life of everyone else here :ROFLMAO:
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
I wouldn't say that I have gotten 9.5 hours SOT. The only thing I did was use FHD resolution instead of WQHD and I turned mobile data off for the whole time because I was on WIFI all day. I still get my texts with mobile data off and don't need it on unless I am going to send or recieve a picture. Just following those two simple things will increase your battery life I bet. Naturally the 2k resolution is going to use more battery. The weird thing is it appears Celluar 5G is huge data hog on this phone. Everyone talking about how excellent the reception and coverage is vs their old phone could mean this beast is using a lot of power to make that happen? This is just a guess.

My phone is in flight mode at night. In this case, it consumes 3% in 8 hours. A little more. What wakes up the phone then?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] _GRIZZLY_:
I think that 3% per 8 hours even in flight mode isn't a lot and and is normal.

Usually my previous samsung devices like Note 5, Note 9, Note 20U (all exynos version) consuming after night 3-5%.

Even fold 2 (snapdragon of course) consume about 3% per night (7 hours) but in 2g mode with disable all mobile data, bt, wifi etc.

Only midrange samung's devices like a5 2017 or A8 2019 in my case consume per night 0-1%.

All above devices are usually only few apps installed.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] CConn882:
So I've had the S22U for about a week now, and I'm seeing like shockingly bad battery life. Like 4 hour SOT, a percentage point of battery disappears every time I put down the phone then pick it up again kind of battery life.

Obviously I know the battery saving mechanisms have to adjust to my use, but isn't a week usually the threshold for it to do that?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Rubby1025:
My experience after the first week was about the same. Took me 2-3 weeks of fine tuning to achieve a 2-3% drain during an 8 hour night and about a 8-10% drain for every 1 hour of SOT with my normal usage. I did not take any extreme actions such as debloating, just normal app tweaking through android. Your mileage of course will vary.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] CConn882:
The only app it's showing as draining my battery to any great degree is fb, and I already have that restricted and use it constantly...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dabrownie:
I have not "de bloated" but I did disable all the T-mobile apps and restricted some apps. I also have all my sensors turned off except the finger print sensor (Bluetooth, GPS, auto dimming) and I think I might turn off the always on display as it shows 7% drain with 33% remaining batter today. That way I can a bit more battery out of it but not sure as it's already a 2 day phone as it is now! 😀

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] jayr04:
I just got my unlocked S22U a few days ago to replace my P6P in hopes of more SOT but I'm not seeing an improvement. Should I give it more time? Or is 4 days as good as it's going to get?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Rubby1025:
See my feedback about 3-4 posts up from this one. Probably take at least 2-3 weeks with some fine tuning.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dabrownie:
That's exactly what I did. I replaced the P6P for this and I'm so glad I did. The first thing I did was install GCam and make sure it worked, I actually got 2 of them on here. Then from there I just set it up like the P6P and the battery has been literally double! So I am very happy with this. Haven't used the pen yet as I have no idea what I can use it for, for my personal use case that is haha but I'll find something one of these days.

Anywho, the battery is much much much better than the P6P!

That is some amazing result. Do you debloat or run any adb commands? Is adaptive battery and put unused apps to sleep enabled or disabled?

Whatever he got going on might also be with the apps he is using. Gonna try them out because I do see a difference in app battery drain with Instagram for example. Yesterday I got 14% drain with 1hr and 30min compared to his instander 6%!

So I will be using all the apps he uses!!

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mobzter:
It was purely luck. Doubt I'll ever reach that mark again 😅 I'm just happy that I'm consistently getting a minimum of 8hrs SOT.

I have debloated my phone by pretty much getting rid of things that i don't use/have any need for. Started off with disabling. Then once happy that everything seemed to be working fine for a few days. I used adb to uninstall 'em.

They are both disabled 👍
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mobzter:
Interesting! I didn't think too much of that, as I've been using these apps for a long time now. I usually like the modded versions cause they're usually customizable or have additional tweaks.

What is the name of this theme?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] jayr04:
One week in and still only 3 hours SOT.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Cr1meCop:
For me it needed over 3 weeks for my SOT to get "better". At begging of usage i got around 3.5/4 hour's max with ridiculously low standby time. I tried hard reseting device in recovery 2 times, but i didn't notice any significant improvement, so i was really on edge to get device back ! But i decided to wait a little, and eventually it started to geting better, and around 3/4 weeks later battery finally "settled" and now i got around 5/6 hours SOT and around 22h standby time. I have brightness around 40%, bluetooth always on, FHD+, adaptive Hz, and Wifi 65% of time, most of apps in deep sleep except apps that need sync (WhatsApp, Viber, Gmail etc...).

Im not completely satisfied but is lot better then it used to be, i wish i cant "catch" around 7.5/8h in daily use, but unfortunately I don't think is possible without havy deblotainig.

Edit: I forget to notice is Exyons version.

Wow all over here and website Exynos very bad i think Samsung should get rid of Exynos, since it's a piece of garbage.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mookiexl:
Getting better as I learn the device. No adaptive battery, Suspend execution of cached apps enabled, all seldom used apps set to sleep with lesser used apps set to deep sleep, GalaxyHz set at 24hz-120hz, Naptime set to aggressive doze. Really can't complain with SD US version
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dabrownie:
On light usage, I got 2 full days out of it which is awesome. It's a weird feeling not having to always plug in my phone every night.

Something that I noticed on the battery usage is that it doesn't account for Hotspot. I used hotspot for at least an hour. So I'm pretty sure that my SOT would have been at least an hour more because I was streaming music on Tidal and for those that know, Tidal uses a lot of data.

And another note, when my battery gets down to 5%, anything I do from that point on will just drop the battery percentage like a rock. So it will go from 5% to 2% and then 1% within a minute or 2, literally!

I have purchased my s22 ultra yesterday (S908E) but my SOT lasts 3 hours only😔
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
If you just bought it yesterday, then yes you will see something like that , but you have to understand need to let the phone and battery to settle and learn your routine so give it a week should be better your battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mobzter:
Yeah the last 5% thing pretty much happens to everybody, don't worry.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dabrownie:
I never had that issue of battery life being that low. On day one I got about 6hrs and from there it slowly kept going up. I've had the phone now for about 3 weeks.

To me that's strange but of course I would give it a few days and if it wouldn't go up, I would return it, but that's just me. I traded in the Pixel 6pro for this one because of the battery life on it
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mrjoy:
Thanks for you advise. Does it takes time to extend battery life for new device or We have to adjust any special settings to increase SOT?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
Let it settle and just do your normal things as you would with any phone and go from there.

17 minutes of usage of Facbook eaten up almost 5% of battery. Facbook is the only apps which drains battery extensively. I was very much frustrated about the battery backup of S222U, later on I give up using facebook and start using facebook lite and now I am getting good battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dabrownie:
You know, now that you mention it, I have put Facebook on deep sleep and I still get notifications all the time!! It's so annoying! I think I will just uninstall it and just use the browser when I actually need it. I use it like once a month anyways.

Well well.... I just checked my battery settings and found Facebook eating away at my battery just now 😑
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Venom0642:
That's why i only use Facebook from Samsung browser doesn't eat your battery like Facebook app does.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dabrownie:
That is true. But I didn't have Facebook on my Oneplus 7pro nor on Pixel 6pro and yet the Pixel barely made it to 6hr SOT while the 7pro made it to 7hrs SOT. (haha 6 and 6 and 7 and 7)

Anywho, I got the 22 Ultra and right away noticed that the battery was insanely good so I got Facebook on here but even after putting it to deep sleep I still got notifications. So I just uninstalled it a bit ago. Let's see how my battery does now.

I debloat after the setup its the best thing you can do :)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] LovingIt:
Thank you :-)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Rubby1025:
I do not recommend debloating, at least initially. Why not just tweak normal android settings and see how much battery life you can get? Many people have gone a little too far with debloating and end up getting rid of features they need. Sure, you can recover from it but you can spend a lot of time trying to figure it out.

I can get 8-10hrs of SOT without debloating or rooting and are very happy with the S22u.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] xgerryx:
With 1440p and 120hz on?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Rubby1025:
I have enabled 1440p but not 120hz. My eyes are not that great and 120hz does not make a noticeable difference for me. If I did turn it on it would probably impact SOT by about an hour or so.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] xgerryx:
Had mine for about a week now and the most I got was 6 hours 40 min screen on time, with 1440p and 120hz on. It was literally dead at that point though. It's been a big disappointment though, standby drain and just generally losing battery without screen on has been abysmal. I did use smartswitch though. Did you? I may set it up again without it but that is going to be a huuuuge pain in the ass.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] LovingIt:
Good point thanks, I'm in Europe, I used the phone for a week normally (working from home, working in the office, Reddit, browser, email and Twitter only) with no settings changed and saw awful battery life dead in 10 hours with 4 hrs SoT so thought I would try a different approach.

So reset it, I've not debloted it but put apps to sleep and turned off WiFi/Bluetooth scanning etc and also set the refresh to 96hz, and i have since managed to get around 15 hours from it with 4 hours SoT, which is still very poor.

I agree, I see no need to debloat it to the point that you are just left with something akin to a cmd terminal lol

But I don't honestly get it, I don't Game or stream yet get vastly lower standby time and SoT to some people and ironically more than others.

Yes, I've heard the arguments it's how you use a phone and what for etc but if we take that logic I would get 6/7 SoT with the same type of usage from my Pixel 5a over 48 hours.

Thanks for the reply :)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Rubby1025:
Yes, I used Smart Switch to move everywhere over to my S22u. I've found putting as many apps into deep sleep sleep as possible and not using social media apps was helpful. Use your browser for social media instead of the app.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Goku1992:
Ive debloat only the things i dont need. Dont like full app drawer and I only use 5 Apps from this... Clean builds are better 👌🏽
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Rubby1025:
Most apps that get debloated are just sitting there with no background execution time until you specifically start them. I can understand debloating to free up memory but does it really wipe those apps out of memory or just disable them?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Goku1992:
They wipe the app out of memory its better than just disabling. No most Apps force Start and run in background...

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
That's an average of over 1200 mAh per hour!

It's not optimized and/or something big, huge is eating at it. It should easily get 8 hours SOT. At night with cell/internet on with AOD always on 1%@hr, tap on AOD >.5%@hr.

Those of you who exceed 8H of screen, how do you do it? How do you have the mobile configured? I have the screen in HD + and if I reach 5 hours of screen it is already a miracle
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] jayr04:
TBH, I think they are trolling. Opening apps and letting the phone sit on each app.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
No, sorry but you got a hog. With a 5002 mAh battery 14+ hours SOT should be doable.

Browsing Brave like I'm doing now, the N10+ uses 6-8%@hr with newer battery.

What do you think your SOT will be like after the battery losses 10% or more of its capacity? Those fast discharge rates and higher battery temperatures it will accelerate the Li's decline.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] liteweight13:
The main thing for me was debloating. This easily gained me 2 hours of battery life. I use internet browser alot instead of native apps when possible.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Yes, keep the social media junkware off the phone, logon through the browser only.

It's not one thing I did but many to optimize my N10+ for the way I use it. Both in settings, the 3rd party apps I load and what apps I disabled.

I still fine tune the load and keep an eye on it's power consumption although it's more to monitor the battery condition now.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] djixon:
I already debloated it and even so it barely exceeded 5 hours of screen time.

Like you, for facebook and other apps I use the browser, since those apps spend a lot of battery
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
You can get an extra hour or more of battery life just by uninstalling the Facebook App. I kept Messenger installed so I can still get my messages real time but access Facebook thru the web browser.
