[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Digie:
Exactly. It happened after the Spen issue happened.

And today i got the "Notes stopped working" error when i was playing with Spen/notes to see if i could replicate the error.

And just now, i tried to replicate it again and moved the window around aggressively.

Only issue is time to time Spen stopped dragging it as if i have lifted.

Other than that, the phone acts/reacts normal.

The only differences are as follows;

1) The note screen is smaller than the beginning if it may have an impact

2) I think the first time it rebooted, i was dragging it aggressively while it was giving (or trying to give) the first time tips for the Spen notes

What's the battery optimization that's set for 'em? Unrestricted, Optimized, or Restricted?

Do you tend to listen to it in the foreground or have it running more so in the background?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Nghtmare:
Battery is set to Optimized. I just connect it to my car via Bluetooth to play music while I drive. The songs are downloaded to the phone to prevent using 5G.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mobzter:
I wonder if it's the Bluetooth causing the drain... What's your battery like when you're using Bluetooth for anything else?

Ps. What battery drain did you exactly have?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mobzter:
Sorry, forgot to tag you to my recent message.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Nghtmare:
I have some Sony headphones but I only used them for 5min to set up the app. So I havent used BT for anything else really. My wife has hers running 24/7 because she has a smartwatch and it's fine. She also has Tidal as the main battery drain app on her phone (I bought 2 S22U). I think it was like 14% on the previous charge.

I never had an issue with Tidal in years :/
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mobzter:
Interesting...

14% drain for how much usage?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AwesomeARC:
This has been my battery life on the recent update.

not bad....

Tables turned or what?

Exynos left with 19% battery when the Snapdragon ver. died in this side by side comparison.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Sudo77:
To brighten things up, I wouldn't worry about about battery that much. Say you used your phone for a good 2 years and your battery is feeling "under the weather" you can get it replaced pretty inexpensively. The battery one of the least expensive parts. So long as you don't screw up the more costly components (screen and motherboard) you should be fine.

Here is a list of all cost for the repair parts for the S22 Ultra (listed in THB, you can convert to USD) EXCLUDING service fees:

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mtotallywired:
Got my phone on Feb 21 (snapdragon 512 at&t) - lived with the crap battery life until about 3-4 days ago when I started having serious issues with messages not downloading. To help troubleshoot that i flashed latest unlocked U1 firmware and I am currently on Day 2 with it. Had been getting absolutely awful battery life and issues with messages not downloading. like only 4-5 hours on AT&T firmware.

After clean flashing U1 followed all the steps in this thread, up until the adb debloating which I didn't do: https://xdaforums.com/t/no-root-samsung-optimization-guide-debloat-tweaks-settings-and-adb.4376755/

Then Got these results after wiping cache / repairing apps / and installing good guardians - app booster and one cycle of battery calibration.

This is on WQHD / 60-70% brightness / adaptive refresh / no adaptive brightness / no battery saver / no adaptive power saving / mobile data off - since am on wifi all day bc covid. Disabled Chrome and using Samsung Internet and set all apps to deep sleep, except messages. Put gmail, google photos, Spotify, banking app, vanced to sleep.

I know running video for hours at a time is not an example of real world usage but just wanted to see if my phone could even break past the 5 hour mark with SoT and was surprised to see almost 10 after all those tweaks. Trying to use it more normally today and expect the system to improve more as it learns my usage. Will report back.

So, I'm on the U1 firmware and I don't have a 5G toggle/setting.. Is there somewhere I can turn it off to see what that does to my battery life? I've read about folks doing this, but I can't find a setting for this anywhere. I'd also like to turn off 2G if possible, since it's now a security risk.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Download Samsung Band Selection app then click on Launch Band Selection and then you can manually choose LTE. You can also click on More Network Settings to turn off 2G and stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
I'm still at 42% but let's see if I can beat you. You went down to 10%?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] thegios:
coming from a Xiaomi 12 Pro with newest SD, and this s22 ultra with exynos is a buttery hungry in comparison. The xiaomi takes at leat 10 minutes to go from 100% to 99%, the samsung in 5 minutes loses 5%
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] readymarc:
How are you achieving this? All settings max? QHD with 120hz, Adaptive brightness?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Running on FHD+, Adaptive Motion Smoothness (via Galaxy Max Hz app), Processing speed set to Optimized.

No power saving. No adaptive power saving. Adaptive battery off. No adaptive brightness. I have a bunch of apps in sleep and deep sleep. Mostly WiFi since I work remotely and some light LTE usage when I go outside. I turned off 5G as I get about the same speed with either. I manually set RAM Plus to 1GB. Dark Mode and my location are on at all times.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] haifish9999:
Yep mate... remaining 10% at the time the screenshot has been taken.... seems so your result will better than mine with some tricks different than mine...

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] haifish9999:
Mine just 2%-3% with wifi & data off only.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anergos13:
Anyone else with this kind of problem?

I ve tried to freeze the app ...without success

Any solution?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Try going to the app's settings, click on Battery, then change it to Restricted. Then click on Mobile Data and uncheck Allow background data usage. Click Storage, clear cache. Restart device. This is what I do for most apps that are hogging battery. On top of putting them to deep sleep.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anergos13:
I ve done these settings but the app is up again . The situation changed after GOS update...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Reboot into recovery mode, wipe cache partition, then click repair apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] anergos13:
I ve done thje trick , I will post tomorrow the result after a day of use ...thanks!!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] brachiopod:
Here is a typical day for me, I usually end up at 40-50% left, possibly could make 2 days.

Running FHD+ because I could not tell the difference. Yes adaptive smoothness. Processing optimized.

No power saving. Yes background usage limits, yes adaptive battery. Yes adaptive brightness. Mostly WiFi.

I don't play a lot of games. The battery estimate is usually around 1 day 8 hrs when charged. Battery life is a little better than on my old Note 20U.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] thegios:
I've had the phone for 3 days.

Question 1: Why the estimated duration is not being calculated and analysis is always "in progress"? Do I need to wait a few days before the system learns?

Question 2: two hours of usage, of which 40 minutes of screen on, and I have lost 8%... Is this normal?

(PS: WQHD+, WiFi connection, brightenss 70%)

So im getting really confused at to my poor battery life... thought life360 was the main issue but other people have had it and no issues.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] matty100147:
was first big test for my s22 ultra this week as i took a city break which included hundred or more photos being taken, navigation on regularly throughout the day, social media apps being updated throughout the day, my old mate 10 pro breezed through such trips with 40% left at end of day, s21 ultra last year needed a 30% top up late afternoon and the s22 ultra needed topped up twice throughout the day, so it was a big fail for me..i really hope with software updates the battery gets better as now its quite embarrassing for Sammy, my friend had the mate 20 pro which is 3 years old and it easily outlasted my s22 ultra each day even though we both had roughly the same usage, and talk about a warm phone, it felt like my pocket was on fire at certain parts of the day, such a pity these problems exist as the camera is amazing

so I forgot the mobile data before going to sleep, woke up in the morming from 85% battery was 29%...is it normal ??!!! how am i suppose to have a full day at work..I have 200 apps in deep sleep by the way and i check the background services consumption and there was just 0.1 per hour microg services..i dont know what to do anymore with the phone and i cannot give it back anynore...my OnePlus did almost 2 days in the beginning, fast charging it all the time i never run out of battery. I have the phone less than one month and im desperate already. Im thinking of debloating of all the samsung crap and put some custom rom, its just feel so bad having a new phone and need to do all kind of steps already to have a normal use..
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
5 weeks in.

How are people getting such good screen on time?? I literally watch the battery percentage clock down when in use. If I'm lucky the phone drops around 11% per hour on a regular day of typical usage. And yes, I have reset it, updated the rom, done all the changes except reducing the screen resolution. This is after using it in several locations in different countries. Results are always the same.

I like the device but it really feels like it was supposed to be the note 21 ultra that got cancelled, as it's a combination of my note 20 and s21 ultra. It's definitely not an upgrade over the s21 ultra, more like an S for apple. I'm guessing that the next device, the S23 ultra will be a significantly different design, perhaps folding or some other upgrade because this feels like the last in a line of 10 years of devices as opposed to leading or bleeding edge.

I like the device. But The battery life sucks. I have battery anxiety every time I go out and always take a battery bank just in case.

Samsung, if you can't improve these devices without crippling them then simply put in a bigger battery! Or offer a version with a bigger battery. It's not hard!! Most sports cars have bigger fuel tanks than economic runarounds for a reason!!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] brachiopod:
Well, since you are asking for suggestions, 11% per hour just sitting there is a lot, it is about 3500 mW of power dissipation per hour. Assuming that you have already looked at the apps to see if any are using that much power it could be your connections in your particular usage situation. Are you in a marginal cellular situation a lot? Did you have 5G on your previous phone that you used there? The phone could be burning up a lot of power (I've read that the cellular radios could use 1500 mW or more) just transmitting a lot at high power to stay in touch with a marginal connection with lots of retrys or network congestion. If you are in a situation with both marginal WiFi and marginal cell a lot it could really be using a lot of power.

i'm almost sure the issue here is this bad optimized system software , cannot explain why with my previous oneplus 6 same apps i was getting 1.5 days... i really hope for some Lineage os + maybe a franco kernel but if i see from the previous models there is zero chance..
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
Thanks.

11% per hour with typical use, definitely not just sitting idle. I'll look at the apps

And here is over night drainage!

Used Galaxy App Booster by Good Guardians to optimize the phone.

Charged to 100% and left for over night.

10% idle drain 😭

Battery set to Optimised

Processing speed also on Optimised

I'm using Galaxy Max Hz, there settings are as you can see.

Pretty disappointed by Samsung!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] thegios:
From 100% to 90% in 60 minutes of screen in time, browsing Facebook, LinkedIn & co under wifi with 40% brightness.

Is this a joke?

My former Xiaomi 12 Pro would loose maybe 5%... (And would charge at 120W in minutes, but that's another story...)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kubas_inko_CZ:
You know that in that case, your Xiaomi would last about 20 hours SoT (considering that discharge rate is nonlinear, it would last even longer)?

I am getting between 12-14% per hour and all I do si run youtube in a popup and browse discord or chrome (with brightness around 5-10%).
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] thegios:
That's why I'm complaining about S22 Ultra, whose battery life is a mere joke
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] readymarc:
I did a factory reset and its the same. Samsung really needs to get this fixed or else a lot of people will ditch their phones. Not sure if its me alone but does anyone else feel their device randomly getting warm doing simple tasks. It comes and goes. I think there is definitely something going on in the background ever so often.

**sigh**

It really comes down to optimization. Next update better solve this issue
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
That's is basically my drain too. Often worse.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] mookiexl:
1st day after restore and QHD running 24-120hz adaptive using galaxymax Hz. I think the battery is more than good and definitely not nearly as bad as some have suggested
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] malikin:
disable Cellular and wifi for a night, you will be surprised.

Trashhy app on your phone constantly connecting to server to download/check something. Every request is wakes up your modem and makes connections.

solution is simple:

1) get rid of any useless apps on your phone via ADB APP Control app (disabled 144 apps on mine)

2)enable data saver for a night and add apps to it (fb, insta, weather, tinder, etc) so they will be sleeping at night

3)block background running and internet for bank/uber/tools/work apps, as you not getting money at night-so you no need it at all.

Be smart-its not a battery issue. Samsung gave you a tool, you can make it work as you want.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bodomfan:
Exynos?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mobzter:
Maybe Disable Vo Lte

(or atleast during the night)

There seem to be a lot of wakelocks! You may need to start doing some detective work to find the culprit(s). There may be a few that pass usage info but perhaps disable like Dream mode, motion sensors, Always on display (Change schedule time if needed) and turn off the network stats notification thing.

Galaxy Mhz - You can place power saving mode setting much lower. Yours is on 120. I keep mine on 24. You can enable Auto Disable Sync too.

Use Alliance Shield X - to help disable packages as well as additional options...

Use Ram Plus - This feature is found in Settings. Ramp it up. I have mine set to 8GB. Useful for heavy multitasking easily and i think power efficient for me.

Adjust Settings - Go through all the options in settings and adjust what you believe would help reduce the battery drain. There may be things enabled, like motion sensors and what not, which you may have never used anyway. Turn 'em off.

Modify Google App settings - Just go through each setting in there and adjust what needs be. I guess it all depends how much you rely on it too, i suppose.

ADB Uninstall - If there's any specific app that you're 100% certain can be uninstalled without causing your phone to crash then get onto ADB and uninstall 'em instead. You may need to do a little research if you've never used it before.

Hope some of it helps
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] thegios:
Disable... Disable... Disable...

My former Xiaomi 12 Pro with no app disabled would lose 5% overnight in 8 hours, this lost 5% in 4 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mariuszuzd:
Exactly, this is quite dissapoiting. However, at the moment life battery is acceptable in my opinion (ca. 5-6h sot) but the drain from google services in S22U is quite unusual and unpredictable. I again followed the procedure from the GENERAL BATTERY/PERFORMANCE OPTIMISATION suggestions and it stops, but we will see for how long. This is supprising and it didn't occur on my pixel 4a. Of course, in overall the battery is better on S22U with adaptive and FH+ but there is some...disgust as we say in Poland.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] saturn3000:
My S22 Ultra also consumes 10-11% every night in airplane mode.

I put the phone in airplane mode at night and it is strange that it consumes 10% battery.

When I had software version S908BXXU1AVA7 it consumed 3% at night in airplane mode.

When I upgraded to S908BXXU1AVBF and S908BXXU1AVC6 it started consuming 10-11% at night in airplane mode. I don't know if it's a coincidence.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mobzter:
Alliance Shield X allows you to disable apps, but they still remain on phone and take up space.

ADB uninstall allows you to completely remove the apps off the phone, which in turn saves space.

That's my basic understanding of it. However, Alliance Shield X has other features too. Forexample, i use one to prevent apps access to the internet via wifi or mobile data, or both.

I think removing it would help prevent it from loading, hence save some battery, i suppose. Maybe free up ram too.

Someone else would probably be better at explaining it, than me.

ADB install is easy to do, once you've set it up. I'm sure there's many guides on XDA somewhere.

The other thing about disabling it, than removing it straight away, is that you can see if that disabled app causes any adverse reactions. You can simply re-enable it again, if that is the case. However when you remove completely, it'll be extra work, if possible to get it up and running again.

Hope any of that made sense lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dj24:
It did. I'm trying to understand if Alliance Shield does anything else in the background from a battery life perspective outside of disabling them. I already manually disable a lot of the apps from the phone itself that I don't use regularly until the time comes that I need them. So I'm not sure apart from the convenience factor if/ what else Alliance Shield does anything different apart from the some of the other features you mentioned that might be beneficial to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mobzter:
It disables app that can't be normally disabled on phone... including system apps?

It's the disabling factor that helps the battery as it stops 'em from running in the background
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mariuszuzd:
I have the same, I still observe some battery drain from google services, any option to handle that ? I will install the alliance shield app which was recommened by @Mobzter
