I am using bixby routines to switch between 120 and 60hz. Mainly the UI is 120hz and apps that don't cross 60fps like streaming services or some games are just set to 60hz.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] omer7:
Edit: Okay thank you, I have found that option :)

How to use bixby routines to switch b/w 60 and 120Hz. I couldn't find any such option.

Can u plz share screenshot or tell the option?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] CornelisZ:
Not a heavy user, but I'm quite happy with the battery life. This did include about 15 minutes using android auto connected, but that charged only a few percent.

View attachment 5574995

Some extra info:

- mostly WiFi

- only used 4G when not on WiFi

- airplane mode during the night

- screen mostly set to 60Hz
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] nktwister:
Switched from note 10 plus to s21 fe for slightly smaller phone as s21 battery was much smaller..

Battery life is pretty good with wifi most of the time and many apps in deep sleep so it's not running in background .. my suggestion to others is to setup Bixby routines to switch to power saving at night or when battery is lower than 30% or so.. continually review apps draining battery or memory..

I get 5-6+ hours SOT.. need to test with navigation and lte use while on the road
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] KlemenC:
You set your default refresh rate to 120Hz

Then you set up your application routine where you put in all the aps and set them to 60hz

With the exception of those you want to still run on 120Hz ofcourse

That is how i have it setup
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] GotamaTheSearcher:
I probably could get 9 hours, but I am using battery saving mode and limiting cpu usgae to 70%. It still is really fast. To preserve the battery I limit it to 85% and from 85% to 35% it last about 4.5 hours. Meanwhile I have GPS and Bluetooth on all the time. One pro tip if one wants still smooth experience with the 60Hz change the animation scale in the developer settings to 0.5.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] blackhawk:
Kill animations completely... a fast device has no need for them.

A snappy fast flagshig phone is like love, you just know it to the bone...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] WarVic[NZ]:
I would say that battery life of my S21FE is better that I expected and better than many reviews claimed. Apart of Adaptive Battery tick and Dark mode, I haven't done any optimizations, didn't switch off a thing, screen runs at 120Hz and I don't charge the phone every day at moderate use. I can't complain about the battery at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] hamer221:
Worst phone ever owned in terms of battery. I will return it 100%
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] KlemenC:
Battery is good if you use the phone. I would say that standby battery usage is bad... i think that snap 888 is inefficient for stanby time...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] jbs68:
Maybe you have too many apps running in the background ?

Take a look on here to optimize your phone ;)

https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-no-root-complete-samsung-oneui-optimization.4376755/
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] KlemenC:
I did optimize it. Almost all apps on deep sleep. ran de adb debloat. Running battery saving mode and 60hz.

I had Galaxy A8 (2018) before. With optimization and low use i could get up to 5 days even a week without charge. This phone i couldn't get past 3...

And it had smaller battery, yes i know a smaller screen too. But if i compare over night usage (airplane mode and battery saving mode on both) i lost 2-3% on A8 and 5-7% on S21 FE. That is why i put it down to the processor efficiency.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] jbs68:
OK, thank you for your feedback and detailed explanation.

I never tried to let it running in airplane mode...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Roei.e:
You can't compare a midrange device to a flagship one.

S21 FE have better and larger display, it has way more processing power, better cameras etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] KlemenC:
That is why i was talking about standby battery usage. As it eleminiates all the other things except processor, and OS ofcourse. It is possible tha Pie is better optimized than 12...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] demirlijanp:
There's no deep sleep on this phone. If you're not using it at all during the night, it will drain 1% every hour. That's just awful comparing to huawei mate 30 pro and poco f3. Bottom line, battery life on this device is nothing to brag about. That's one single worst thing about this phone, maybe they should have put snapdragon 870 in this device.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] DarkStar9173:
Something isn't right with yours. I went to sleep at 1:30 last night with the phone at 85%. It's now 10 am, and I've been awake 1 hour and on the phone since. 80% battery left. No power savings and enhanced processing is on.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] demirlijanp:
Enhanced processing was off, now I've turned it on. Doesn't make any sense but I will try it. I don't turn my data or wifi ever, I really don't know what I'm doing wrong. Compared to poco f3 when in deep sleep overnight, 8hrs the phone only lost 1%, that's what I'm comparing it to.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] chazy chaz:
i get easily 6-7h SOT with this great phone .. 4G on all the time, i don't play games on my phone and i always use 120hz
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] DarkStar9173:
You have a lot of apps running in the background compared to me. Xiaomi software has more agressive app shutdown/sleep rules by default.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] d3tr0:
Me too. I don't use any optimizations and also don't play games. 120Hz with dark mode.

Most of the time at home via wifi :

One more wifi Best for now:

only lte all day :
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] adek89:
Do you still use battery save?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Randi03:
No, I don't.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] MaStErB_1984:
I think the main problem is the oneui rom itself. It contains a lot of bloat. I bought the phone and debloated (like every Samsung phone on regular base) a lot (115 packages)...I have all the features I need and get an sot of 7-9 h...it is often enough to charge every two days..
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] B00M01:
I've had the S21 FE since release, I have the exynos variant.

My SoT just about doubled after a couple weeks after it learned my usage habits.

Yesterday I rooted and then used the optimization guide to debloat.

At this moment it's still learning my usage habits but I'd say it's doing well, battery isn't great but it's not bad either.

I'm a heavy gamer and I can get about 6h of playing done before this thing hits 20%.

It will improve after a couple days of usage.

I've got battery saver on, 60hz refresh and extreme debloat, no root tweaks apart from feradroid and superfreezz since greenify makes my ui freeze since rooting.

I'll report back in a few days to share my results of usage after my habits have been learned again.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] MaStErB_1984:
sounds nice....did you know that it is possible to debloat without rooting ;-) If you need a tip pm me .
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] B00M01:
I did know it's possible, I prefer root for extras, thank you though.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] szerwony:
How do you all get those crazy long work times? I have S21 FE Snapdragon since 2 weeks. AoD is turned on at day and screen has adaptive refreshrate with Galaxy MaxHZ app. The best I can do is 2-3h SOT and after 24h phone needs charging.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Randi03:
Every app I don't use I have put to deep sleep. I have about 84 apps that are permanently shut off which contributes to the SOT. Also, I never fast charge, 5G is always off and dark mode is always on.

snap888 is made by samsung, it's still crappy, but less than exynos
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] BenItBuhner:
I have this phone and the battery is okay. If you're on wifi it is amazing but you use any data it drains a lot faster. I'd get like 4-6 hours of SOT on data and 6- even 10 hours of SOT on wifi!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] xda-eh:
On my S21 FE the battery drains very fast, even though it's connected to wifi (as opposed to 5G or LTE) most of the time, and almost all apps are on battery "restricted" mode and "background data usage" is turned off (and I had to manually go through each app to toggle those settings). This is in additon to the touch response (or lack thereof) glitches.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] alfaseo:
Thanks tipsnesia
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] BenItBuhner:
Does anyone have a Snapdragon variant of the S21 FE? I have it and the battery is horrendous. I've been tweaking many settings from simple battery settings, all the way into developer settings. There's been very little change in performance throughout my testing. A friend of mine on Twitter found a way to combat this issue but when I alter my settings to match his, it doesn't improve nearly as much as his did. He can get over 7 hours of SOT compared to the previous 4_5 we would both get. We also have similar scenarios in which we use mostly Wi-Fi compared to data (and 5G). I really hope future patches fix this. The January patch came in just after a week from getting One UI 5. You can tell the update was rushed as there's many new bugs. When selecting something like files or images, the checkmark just disappears. When connecting to a Bluetooth device, it will try and try for as long as the phone runs. Every now and then the fingerprint activation animation will freeze. Yeah... Samsung has a lot to fix, hopefully it is all fixed and more with One UI 5.1, when the S21 FE gets it. (Thx for reading, this is so damn long...)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Randi03:
Snapdragon with 4G+.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] mewcatchew:
I have an A53 that has great battery life, and compared to that phone the S21 FE isn't that much far off (Both are on Android 13). I'm not a huge power user so the S21 FE can easily last me 3 days or more. I do have the refresh rate set to 60...120 looks amazing, but not worth the battery drain to me. Plus, I have it heavily debloated with Univeral Android Debloater. I love the phone, it's fast and no issues with battery life at all. I always have Wi-Fi, mobile data & battery saver on, & Bluetooth and NFC off. Overnight idle drain is between 2-4%.

Hi guys, i am a new for TP,

just wondering, the led light at earpiece will on or not when you turn on the phone, please note that i am not talking about the camara led light, is the one on the phone earpiece...

becasue my old phone like Touch Cruise, or P3600 also have a Led light on for antena or bluetooth...

i am using Australia 3, Touch Pro, ROM Ver 1.90.8617

Radio ROM 1.02.25.19

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] leejiahui:
nope, unlike your previous pda, this (TP) does not have any LED near or around your earpiece. and the only light notification is at the D-pad which will light up when u are charging your TP or when there is a missed call or a new msg. No notification for bluetooth.

I would say i missed the bluetooth LED notification though...

Is there anyone outside and can help me?

It is really annoying.

FAQs

Does having Adaptive Refresh Rate really work better with a battery instead of 60 Hz? (Asked by @brokyneo)

Ans: It depends on the usage. If you reading something and not watching dynamic content like videos, you don't need to refresh the screen 120 times a second!

Adaptive Refresh Rates on S22 Ultra has 7 rates: 10Hz, 24Hz, 30Hz, 48Hz, 60Hz, 96Hz and 120Hz. With 10 Hz, you essentially make the GPU display frames 92% fewer times! This should save your battery to a great extent!

(number one - make sure and enable satellite view in Maps before running it)

Now this is a hell of an idea.

GOOD FUN, too. I turned it on before going into a crowded WalMart the other day. Looked like a madman but it totally enhanced my shopping experience.

Pulled it out again today at the park. Made the trip from the swingswt to the car more fun, (and also the drive home, even though you kinda hope for the best as you can't swerve).

What I'd want added to it?

> networking for multiplayer (which I bet the developer already has in mind)

> the ability to add customer map overlays. As in, I screenshot the fire escape map at work and overlay it to the white roof of the building. (or with walmart even).

Let me explain this a little better,the first time I got this game to run I was on the bus and when it found my location I was in the middle of the bus and right when I picked my destination and the game started my phone vibrated shwing a zombie right near me,so I turn to my right reall slowly and grill this old man sitting next to me and then I get up and move to the front of the bus to get away and survive lol! It's not till the bus starts moving that I realize im getting away from the zombie and it had nothing to do with my position on the bus but where I was on the street lol!

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] xsam123:
You don't need to go to developer options. Open Bluetooth settings, find the XM4, tap the settings wheel and select LDAC codec (you need to have the headphones connected to activate this option)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Devhux:
That stumped me as well when I first tried activating LDAC as well on my Soundcore Liberty 3 earbuds. xsam123 is correct
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] adrianhoria:
Perfect, it works ! Thanks !
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] LdacMIUI:
Hi!

If you have any other problems with LDAC, even with using developper option, don't waste you time any further.

(I've spent so much time to correct the issue in this way)

Developer solution's won't work.

And you'll not have the choice to enable LDAC in Bluetooth normal user setting

Reboot your Xiaomi with hard reset.

Everything will become clear and operational.

LDAC Choice will appear correctly again.

Best regards

[G1 Android Development] jrgong420:
Just throwing stuff out there.....

in either /etc or /system there is a "security" directory...i assumed it had to do with the ssl certificates, but maybe it deals with the verification of the signatures in the updates. I mean the verification has to be checked somewhere on the device, when i get reliable internet i will take a closer look at this and see what comes of it.

excellent post by the way dark, glad your around

edit: took a closer look at your post and then the security directory, they are definently related....now it's time to study up on SHA-Digest
[G1 Android Development] afbcamaro:
It seems the signature file checks the sha1-digest signature againts the manifest file. The third file seems to be the signature in which the hash get compared to. A java jdk developer might know how to do this. There seems to be a way to do this with the sun jdk (this seesms to be the method used). We might be able to change signatures but a more permanent solution seems to be able to disable the check all together in the restoration utility.
[G1 Android Development] jrgong420:
if we could just figure out how to bypass it once we could have the modified update disable the check......
[G1 Android Development] Darkrift:
First of all let me state I didnt figure any of this out on my own. I basically gathered it all from 4 different threads (most on page 3-12 already) that have gone off track.

Second, without having root and being able to make changes to the update utility, all of our hacking will have to be done in the file itself (the certificate, or the manifest etc) for now. Once we can make changes to it and flash it, then we can give ourselves root (or just replace the recovery flash stuff to not read the certificates.
[G1 Android Development] neoobs:
Looking for the security key on the device will prove useless... the way SHA1 was designed was that you have 2 keys. A private key you must sign with... and a public key that you use to verify. You can't sign with the public key because it will be different. Now if you know of someone who can crack SHA1 that will be the only person who can help us. But as it looks Google signs all their stuff with the SHA1 algorythm which is one of the hardest to crack.

[G1 Android Development] snoslicer8:
I think what we need to do is research the iPhone root file system hack. Since the G1's stack is linux-based (same as iPhone), there are probably some similarities. Not sure if this hack would require taking a physical dump of the ROM or not, but that's for the more technical people to decide. :)
[G1 Android Development] afbcamaro:
You are right about SHA1. Google seems to have had some interest in keeping the T-Mobile G1 closed. :-) LOL

Thats why I suggested that we should disable the security check before sha1 digest becomes an issue.

The Iphone hack is simplicity compared to this. Apple left the root access password in plain open sight. Looking back on it, it seems google is a heck of a lot more security minded than apple...Go figure.

If this phone is truly open then we should be able to ASK google what the root credentials are. Making this public on androidcommunity should twist googles arm enough.
[G1 Android Development] neoobs:
Those are the permissions you can give your program. Sadly there isn't a root access permission... but you could give a program all those permissions and maybe we can find a way of getting root.
