Ahh okay, well I'm going to assume it's not carrier specific then. Pisses me off that samsung released a phone that isn't optimized for the chip
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Deiota77:
I already considered doing a hard reset now... to start all over again but I don't know if it's worth it...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Soulstace:
I've tried that, didn't do anything. I originally used smart switch then tried hard resetting. It didn't help.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Deiota77:
That's what I thought. What about debloating? considered that?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Soulstace:
I haven't connected to a computer but I have manually went into the apps I could and disabled them.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Deiota77:
so did I.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Try this, I'm able to get 8hr SOT by changing a lot of settings and some light debloating and adb commands following this thread

Thread '[NO-ROOT] Samsung OneUI Optimization Guide - Settings, Fixes, Debloat, and ADB Tweaks' https://xdaforums.com/t/no-root-sam...ettings-fixes-debloat-and-adb-tweaks.4376755/
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Deiota77:
I haven't either.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Soulstace:
Kinds sad how someone would have to go through that just to get decent battery on a 1200 dollar phone
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Deiota77:
Another hard reset? are you sure we should do this?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
I'm not telling you to do anything, the thread is just a suggestion because it has helped others achieve better battery life. There are many different settings and configurations you can play with.

I agree that one shouldn't have to go through all of that to get better battery on a flagship.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Soulstace:
No no I know, I'll try the adaptive battery trick but I already follow most of the procedures outside of the adb list of things
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Rubby1025:
I recommend using an app such as Accubattery to get insight into which apps are chewing on the cpu too much. Using this tool I was able to fine tune my S22ultra SD to almost 11hrs SOT as per Accubattery.

View attachment 5574925
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Soulstace:
I have been using accubattery but something that isn't an application is draining it
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Rubby1025:
It may sound crazy but try turning off power saving under Device Care. I did and made a positive difference even though I have motion smoothness set to adaptive.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Soulstace:
Power saving is off, it only turns on whenever battery drops below 15%
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] gettinwicked:
I've flashed U1 to my phone, factory reset twice, manually disabled a bunch of apps, then disabled a bunch more (not anything that takes away the functionality of the phone), followed the steps in the link from the last page for some of the settings and such, and I still get maybe 15 hours. I REALLY don't understand how some folks are getting amazing battery life WITHOUT doing much to the phone, but meanwhile I have crappy battery life WITH doing a bunch to it.. Whatever, hopefully another update or two fixes it some. For now I have to charge it for a bit when I get home from work.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] totallyrandom:
My battery drains overnight 10% in seven hours even in airplane mode. During the day I loose 30% just on standby, no FB, manual sync etc. I've tried everything to fix the battery problem, nothing works. SOT 4 hours, love the phone but this is driving me crazy. Is there any way Samsung can fix with future updates?!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] can_85:
I'm thinking opposite, this phone feels cooler than my previous devices. Also 35 C is about human body temperature, so feelin it hot is not the case, atleast for me.

Also today my battery seems to last longer. Only noticeable thing is that I didn't activated Blokada (adblocker)

Edit: I changed my theme to default colors and wallpapers on lock screen and home screen to still images, not video wallpaper.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Goku1992:
Guys please write exynos or snapdragon so we can help you more... cause drain without airplane on exynos is due to the modem, high drain is a Bug that will be fixed by Samsung as fast as possible ( i hope)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Soulstace:
If it's a bug then why are other people not affected at all? (Snapdragon user btw)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] totallyrandom:
For sure, exynos, UK, 3 network. Can it be possibly linked to the s-pen by any means? Many thanks Jakub
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] thegios:
Batt drainage with days is becoming a little better, but overnight drainage is still high, 1% per hour. Is the phone not going to sleep? Especially when in do not disturb mode...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Goku1992:
Its likely a Bug then. Please send Screenshots:) no the spen only need a very small amount.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Goku1992:
Cause the exynos need to be optimized.... seems like the gpu need better drivers. Many people have frezes, glitches and other graphical bugs. Also the gpu in the exynos needs more energy....

Hi, iPhone user coming back to Android, any suggestion to improve the battery life, my old iPhone 12 pro max battery life was amazing compared to my 2 days old s22 ultra, thanks on advance
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] saturn3000:
S22 Ultra Exynos. After 48 hours from the S908BXXU1AVCJ update, the consumption at night in airplane mode has gone from 10-11% to 2-3%.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Nghtmare:
Yeah Stand By has been improved, I noticed it straight away.

Is this the April update?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] saturn3000:
Yes.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mariuszuzd:
Great battery performance, any suggestions? I have almost finalized the reset of the Phone after the leatest update. I decided to do that without any data movement from the old phone or account.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] a5ian300zx:
Seems like battery SOT is quite varied on the s22 ultra.

I have a oppo find x2 pro which I get around 5hr screen on time (120hz and qhd+) and on my oppo find x5 pro the first few days was a bit rubbish at 5h:3m SOT and then after few days I was getting around 7-8hrs screen on time which was amazing with the same settings. The 80w fast charging does make a difference as I just charge my phone in the morning when I am getting ready and in 30-40mim fully charged again.

I have ordered the s22 ultra to try out (UK version)

The screenshot is from my oppo find x5 pro.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] s3fan:
I have all my apps on restricted under battery. The life is good with 1 day plus and 8 hours screen time. However better batvstats shows the phone active a lot when on idle. Even over night when it's dozing the phone goes active for 5 mins plus regularly. I'm force stopping apps to see if its a roque app causing this
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] webjunky:
Exynos Wifi and 4G

8h28min SOT with about 4% battery left.

In Apps / go to every app that doesn't need to use mobile data in the background and disable the usage of data in the background.

Eg: youtube , facebook , bankapps , apps you use in shops for customer discounts etc...

Apps that need usage of mobile data in background eg: messenger apps (teams,whatsapp,telegram,mail application) , make sure you dont disable those.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] s3fan:
I found it easier to press and hold each app then use the I in top right. But you were right, loads of apps still had background data on. Banking and TV apps. Hopefully that's it

Was wondering if this is any good, 120hz, FHD+, most part of the day WiFi but with YouTube running on the background
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] tap77:
I am pretty happy with the battery life on my S22 ultra (Exonys). I've disabled 5G, but are using wifi as normal, running on FHD+ resolution with 120hz enabled with april update. Primary browsing internet, 9gag, social media, YouTube, benchmarking and a little bit of gaming.

Google Play ervice is not at all a problem for me, what is strange is that I lose 5% in 30mins of usage, under wifi and with 50% brightness.

You probably have the same issue with Google services. Please have a look on last 7 days, you will be eveon more shocked ;) I did the factory reset on Saturday so I have to wait to stabilize, and of course, on the begining I was installing a lot of app etc. However, at the moment the usage of services should be a very small percentage.

Oh well my XIAOMI 12 PRO (same screen size, same resolution, ,same refresh rate, same brightness, same wifi connection but latest QC SOC in 30mkins doesn't lose 1%

In 30min ? The phone has over 50hours screen on time then? Amazing. Wrong calbrated then.... my huawei does the same 100% for 5hours idle and 20min sot but then it decreases faster so does your xiaomi...
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Nghtmare:
Im sure he didn't even think about that message lol

Last one, it has around 1hr 30min on-screen between 2 games so could had been better.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Nghtmare:
But notice how I have 28hrs of screen-off time (1d 4hr), you have 7hrs and 40min. At 1% per hour (not even sure that is right) my phone could have at least 20% more battery. Yours was from 85-17% while mine was 100-15% so that is 17% in your favour. It's pretty much the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mariuszuzd:
Have you seen this -

I have the same issue and the battery life is not perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
That just means you sleep more than me. I use my phone for long periods of time so my screen off time will not be high, but if I did leave my phone for a day the screen off time would be 24hours so idk what you're getting at lol.

My phone drains about 5% overnight in 8 hours when I'm sleeping.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Goku1992:
Okay thats a good find.... also this is the reason some phones are hot even in idle....

Someone should inform Samsung about this
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mariuszuzd:
it is good but this drains my battery ... I don;t know what to do. I believe that it should be checked by samsung...

I'll raise that, this is my best so far, I forgot to charge one night and just let it go through the next day. Probably could have gotten into the thrid day but didn't want to take it down that low. I don't have any particular optimizations, using adaptive brightness, vivid, FHD+, adaptive motion smoothness, no battery saver. Not playing any games though.

Hex plugin
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
Here is my result. This is FHD Resolution, Adaptive Battery On and mobile data off because I was at home on 5G WiFi. Thinking Mobile 5G eats up a lot of battery as well as WQHD Resolution.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
I am getting identical results as you. I also use FHD+. Download Samsung Band Selection and choose LTE to disable 5G. My speeds are about the same so I don't need 5G as it does use more battery.

This is from 100 to 20%.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] eaoosa:
of course it is. why in a sense it's a waste of time comparing everyones usage. for whatever it's worth, mine has been great. unlocked snapdragon 1tb.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ekerbuddyeker:
I am not watching videos. Just email and browsing, reddit. And the drain is awful. I may hard reset and reinstall as opposed to the Smart thingy.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] gettinwicked:
My Verizon with the unlocked firmware, 12/256 was awful the first day. Went down to around 50% in just a few hours. To be expected though. I'm at day 3 now, and it is not bad at all. Six hours off the charger and sitting at 69% with moderate use. Definitely better than my P6P.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ultimatdan:
Are there drawbacks to using Smart Switch when first setting up the phone? Like does it bring over extra cache or junk files that muck up the system? I ended up having to use it because Google didnt want to ask me to redownload all my apps when logging into the account like i used to do with other phone setups in the past. I didnt see any other way to get my apps from my old s10+ to the Ultra unless I used Smart Switch or redownloaded each one manually.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] vhc:
I received my s22u and immediately got the march update.

On my first cycle, battery is mediocre at best. My s21u definitely lasts longer and that's comparing s22u without sim vs s21u with 5g. We'll see after a few cycles.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] freebee269:
Honest question here: why would you compare the s21 ultra with 50 cycles to your s22 ultra with 1 cycle? Do you think that's a fair comparison? Then post on here like it's a negative for the to s22 ultra.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] vhc:
Why not?

Personally the battery doesn't even improve that much over time anyway.

Just sharing my experience. Take it as you will.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] freebee269:
The battery definitely improves over time. That's been proven in battery tests over and over. That's where the ai built into the CPU comes in.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Sen2012:
That happened to me when I held the buttons down too long and got into the boot loader and selected reboot as I was still holding the buttons. Try only holding them down for 5-10 seconds.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] lawtq:
Im with him and disagree. AI, gimmick, LTPO, gimmick. All I've seen is the same battery life from the first boot of a phone till a year down the line
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] freebee269:
So your saying at first boot when you are installing 200 apps and all these apps are running first run tasks in the background and you lose 50% battery in 4 hours is the same as 1 year later? So that whole year you're losing 50% in 4 hours every day? Come on man. You're just spewing hyperbole. Logic should tell you that would be false.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Ceza21:
I had terrible battery life for the first few days but now it's on par with my s21 ultra ..with more optimization I hope it could be even better with the future updates...note I have 2 sim cards activated Bluetooth and Wi-Fi always on and few hours 5g today.View attachment 5547609
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mr. Orange 645:
I just received mine yesterday after two delays from FedEx. Apparently FedEx has a pretty big driver shortage, and mine just sat on a loaded truck for two days without an available driver.

It's WAY too early to tell on battery life. I always laugh when people start complaining about battery life on day one. This same exact thread with the same exact complaints is started for every single new device without fail. Think of the last device you had that you thought it was just an absolute beast, and the battery lasted forever. I promise if you check the forum for that device, you'll see battery life complaints during the first couple weeks of its release.

It usually takes a good week for battery life to settle in as the software learns your usage patterns and optimizes battery use. Plus the first day you're setting up the phone and downloading apps, etc.and the first few days you're using ii more because it's new.

In all reality, this thread shouldn't exit until about a week or two after release. I have a feeling when it's done optimizing and especially after an update or two from Samsung, this device will be a battery beast with its huge battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] lawtq:
No common sense at all you. Ridiculous.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mr. Orange 645:
On my experience battery life ALWAYS sucks rhe first few days. It gets better as things settle. I've seen it wirh every device.

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] AndroidPurity:
We can't know if that's normal unless we see the list of your top battery used apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
You don't have to download an app to turn off 5G and use LTE only. All you gotta do is go into settings and select Connections then Mobile Networks and choose the LTE and lower option.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Not everyone has that option accessible my guy, hence the need for Samsung Band Selection.

I'm carrier locked to AT&T, even with flashing the U1 unlocked firmware, that option isn't available in settings.

Using that app, it unlocks the ability to disable 5G.

I swear, some people just respond to be like "Omg look at me I know something and you're wrong!". Stop discrediting what other people know based on what you know.

If you have the option to disable 5G why didn't you do it in the first place? Unless you get higher download speeds using 5G rather than LTE. I believe it's based on your area and towers, for me it's the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] dalepl:
