Wow, that is fantastic compared to mine. I did order one. The battery life was the only thing stopping me from keeping the s22 for like 2-3 years, hopefully the s23 does a better job. Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Xode:
Yup, its battery is really brutal...as is the device itself..
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] AA37Q:
I'm using dual sim in the US. Light profile activated, QHD 120hz, auto sync off, disabled most google apps and dont allow alot of location permissions. And my phone can last 1.5 days to 2 days on a single charge.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Bobthahog:
I've had the S23 Ultra since launch day and this is one of the best phone Samsung has put out in a while. I came from the s21 Ultra which was a very good phone but the battery life on this thing is insane. I'm including an extended screenshot and this is just moderate use but still I could easily get 10 hours on screen time and I haven't put this on a charger in over 4 days.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] elmor0:
Insane....
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] elmor0:
What is your phone smoking??

How can you get such unbelievable battery life/ SOnT??
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Bobthahog:
Well I do have that app called Galaxy Max Hz which allows me to change my refresh rate to 96 instead of 120. And then I have it set to 10 Hertz with screen off plus it's got a doze mode built into the app and I do have quite a few notifications turned off but I always have sync on and location is always on. Plus I also removed a bunch of apps using ADB commands so they weren't running in the background and I am still one of those few that use greenify because now it works even better with the shizuku manager.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bodomfan:
So you use galaxy max Hz and Greenify
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] unandroidemas:
What is the icon pack?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Keos214:
This is called "atom icon pack" 👌
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] iamnotkurtcobain:
I really like this phone...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
I've resisted the urge to take the plunge towards Galaxy Hz app this long...Since this is a native 120 hz display, restricting it to 96 hz could mean choppy animations? Is this true?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] iamnotkurtcobain:
Leave it at 120hz. Battery life is already great. Or use the light mode if you need even more.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Klaudas:
No it will work as before. 96Hz is pretty snappy too. But I agree with comment above there is no need for that 96Hz setting. Personally I'm using Galaxy Hz app for screen-off mods: 10hz always on display, extended doze mode and power saving mode(whenever I turn screen on power saving mode turns off). That increased my standby time.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dancrow:
Amazing battery life!

Sorry if I ask. Is your phone rooted?

What version of adhell are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] phormskaran:
Battery life is really very insane with 5G Gear4 Watch connected all the Time still 2 Days Battery
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
I have a feeling that VoLTE causes a considerable battery drain. Can someone please corroborate?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Luiz_Pennywise:
Could you provide prints of your used settings?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Klaudas:
Sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] iamnotkurtcobain:
My phone isn't rooted
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] linom:
Curious to know if Quick doze mod actually helps increase the standby time? I had bought the app for my S22U and nothing changed. I wanted to know if it works on S23U before I go ahead and buy it again. I am not interested in any other features on the app except the Quick doze. My S23U is already great in battery life so really doubting the effectiveness of this feature. Can you help confirm.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Klaudas:
Yes it does. I think it's the same doze mode on s23 as s22. S23u has great battery life because new snapdragon cpu is great at efficency. I had an amazing standby times without that program(I use 2-3 apps in the background constantly) but with those 3 modes (extended quick doze mode, psm activated when screen is off and aod 10hz) I've managed to achieve best standby time on android for me. Previous s21+ with exynos was way worse.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] linom:
Thanks! Will go ahead and buy it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] enigma79:
Samsung s23 ultra.

Light mode,120Hz,WQHD,charge battery to 85%. in screen is 5% left.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] phormskaran:
Hi do you have the light profile activated or the performance one when using the phone? And did you also enable adaptive battery?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Klaudas:
Hey. I'm using light perfomance profile right now and "adaptive battery" option is enabled too
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Imprezzion:
Light mode, 120hz, fhd+ res, charges to 100% but with a 25w S21+ charger. Basically just YouTube on the background, auto brightness in daylight in the office, some browsing and such. Wifi, 5g, NFC, Bluetooth everything enabled. It's at like 34% here and 10h sot is easily doable.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Ogy77:
Tommorow I get s23 ultra I hope is battery is really good😊
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] matty100147:
Does your notifications still come through with all that on? Or is there a delay in them
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Klaudas:
All my notifications comes in time. Apps which needs notifications are "unrestricted" on my device.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] matty100147:
Will give your options a try and see how I get on, after charging my phone to 100% before bed last night I woke up this morning with 2% lost, which is exactly the same as any other night, will see how I get on throughout the weekend
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Ogy77:
Can you help and give advice for better battery life,google service etc
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] enigma79:
New record for me,the settings is:

For battery is Light,charging in 0 to 100% for 1 hors and 10 minutes,adaptive battery is ON.

Display 120hz,FHD+,automatic lights(60-70%) and nights is dimmed lights.

SIM 5G,Bluetooth is ON(Clock and galaxy buds 2),WI-FI is ON to.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] matty100147:
In location services menu turn off all options, Google location accuracy is the biggest play services drain, apart from that go into your apps and put any Google app into deep sleep that you don't need
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bodomfan:
How did you get 13 hours ,that's impressive
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] spacemanvt:
This is by far the best Android battery life ive ever had.

I have all max settings, in Standard performance mode. I get 6.5 hours of SOT, Light Mode almost hits 8

I have never hit over 5 hours SOT in any other Android phone I have ever had. S21U, P7Pro, etc etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
The answer lies in the screen resolution.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bodomfan:
I use the same but still don't get that much battery
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
The answer lies in "subjective usage". Everyone uses their phone differently and the phone is exposed to different network coverage, etc...Comparing 1 usage to another is just..........lol
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
By staring for 9 hours at YouTube videos at lowered brightness. Basically, ANYONE can do that. There is no magic behind that. Watching videos doesn't consume much battery especially when you lower down the brightness.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bodomfan:
Lol very true 🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] pratik_193:
Anyone with S23 ultra and using work profile (Microsoft Intune + SEP+ Outlook), how is the battery life? on S22u, work profile sucks the battery life!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] oVeRdOsE.:
Looks like Facebook has changed their stuff, Frost.apk officially stopeed working 2023-06-08....

any Facebook agent alternative to keep this battery up !?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] lil_kujo:
I use outlook for work and other Microsoft apps and it is a beast. Really don't have any issues and like other users have noted this is by far the best android battery i have ever had with a high end device. First time i haven't thought about rooting and installing other custom roms as the experience I have had son far has been glorious.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bopgun1:
I'm using it, but something is wrong - getting huge battery usage (down 50% in 4 hours) and Accubattery is showing deep sleep only 11% of screen off time, even though I have PSM on screen-off enabled. What gives??
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] enigma79:
I noticed one thing, if I use the screen on more, youtube, video, telegram and others, it reduced my time of inactivity and vice versa. I am currently like this in the picture. By default, I am 24 hours with the screen inactive and about 6 to 8 hours with the screen on.By default, the phone is on 5G network, WiFi is on, screen FHD+ and 120Hz, battery is on Light mode, screen on automatic mode. Most applications are in Deep Sleep, the rest are in Sleep and none are awake.

I don't know what else to write, this set on youtube that I made is at 60-70% of the screen, I watched clips in the channels I have a subscription to and then I had a big problem with vanced, namely that constantly when pausing or turning off the screen it was throwing out the profile and what I was looking at. It took me a week to find out that the problem was in Vanced Micro G and deleting and a new clean installation fixed this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] enigma79:
This is finally in battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] GoJo ^^:
AccuBattery reports : 87% to 49% in 8h05".. And 47" of screen on.. Checked app's battery usage, it shows about 10% used.. That's scary, what's happening here?!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] GoJo ^^:
3%/h this night, couldn't find any culprit in starts.. please help
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
There's a rogue app...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
It's been 5 days with AWF3, feels like batterylife has gone down a lot. It seems same holds true to AWF1 as per web reports.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JazonX:
AWF3 has been so far good on my end. No noticeable changes.

Use BatteryGuardian Module in Good Guardian Suite and check whether any apps are causing the drain. Also, as a habit, I run the App Booster once after every firmware update.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Feardarks:
Well i got 5 hour SOT from 85% to 34% medium brightness. Wifi only. Light mode
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] slayer03:
Same problem here. Before I have between 5 to 6h SOT, from 100% to 15-20%, 1.5 days of use. Now it's more 3 to 4.5h if I'm lucky, and only 1 day.

When I unplugged the cable after the charge is finished, 30min later I already lost few percentage without even use it.

On AWF1 update on a S9180, for already one week.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] s3axel:
Same here on AFW1, still investigating whether there is something I can do deviceside......
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Before creating this thread I tried and checked everything to find out if at something somewhere is "causing" it, found nothing. So it has to be the June update I believe.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nmt1900:
Had same problem initially. All went back to normal in about a week after update...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] m3ath:
Still good for me
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] cobhc:
Still fine for me, getting about 10 hours SOT within about 28-30 hours off the charger.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] NullZeroNull:
Same for all me. No changes in battery life that I could notice.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] tobias14:
All good here.

AWF1
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] malikin:
better than s22u
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] aureum:
I have AW1 and no issue with SoT, same as in February when i got the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Good to see the SS.

I however use 2 SIMs and have been using both only over 5G(not using Wi-Fi at all) from the date of purchasing the phone and during all theses times, before and after(June update) battery endurances are significantly different and no "rogue" app is doing it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] camapghe:
I had battery drain for first few days after June update. However, I did clean up all app caches via SD Maid, ran Galaxy App Booster, restarted a couple of times, and found the culprit was the latest Nova Launcher version. Changed back to the 6.2.19 version and everything came back to normal.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Good that it was Nova in yours, something I stopped using a few years back due to not finding it necessary anymore for my usage.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] slayer03:
I also use 2 sims. Maybe it's the reason why we are the only one with battery drain with this update.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Problem is with 2 SIMs & 5G only, the batterylife with the previous updates before June update was extremely good.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Saleem360:
My phone is fine after this update
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] sklchan:
Have anyone experience battery drain issue after the June update patch? as it seem someone started a new thread mentioned about it. I'm exited as my new toy will be arriving soon...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Yes drains a lot faster than before in mine. But then there's always "some" with zero issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Goku1992:
Yes battery isnt as good for me but still very good so no big Problem but hope they fix it in the next Update...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
People using single sim and connected to Wi-Fi are saying how great the batterylife is..fair enough!

What I want to clarify again is that using 2 SIMs with 5G(having full signals and not using Wi-Fi at all from the get go) networks with June's "AWF3" build, I am constantly getting ⅔ of what I used to get till May's software build(March, April, May all were absolutely fine in terms of batterylife) despite of having the same apps and with similar usage pattern.

Clearing cache in recovery, app cache and clutters, identifying any possible rogue app(found none), waiting for more than a week and all the troubleshooting required to fix it were already done and the batterylife remains as it is - bad.

Factory resetting is the last resort(it generally doesn't help in terms of batterylife if one by one all the apps and settings are thoroughly checked) but haven't done it for obvious reasons.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] olafsand:
My june update
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] readymarc:
I noticed this too. I did a factory reset and set up from scratch. Its way better now. Consistently getting 7-8hrs screen on time.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Noticed before or after June update?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] alex6600:
Share the result pls you wireless charging speed (not fast charging) on Ultra from 10-15% to 100.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] superleeds27:
What version did you have issues with?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] readymarc:
After june update. I did a reset and all is well.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] manishsoni7689:
After June update I also faced drastic degrade in my phone's battery life. I cleared cache partition, disabled bixby routines but it did not help. I noticed my phone dropped around 20% in the night, without using it and on wifi.

I use 2 sims and out of it one sim is in always international roaming. I noticed that for roaming sim's signal bars symbol 'R' is missing. I went to Connections -> Mobile Networks and change network mode of international sim to 2G only. And now 'R' symbol appeared on the signal bars, battery drain in the night is around 2-4% only and battery life got improved significantly like it was before June update.

There is no harm for me to keep my international sim in 2G only because I do not use it for data or calling. I will keep it 2G only until the next update, I hope Samsung fixes this. I don't know if that's the right way to fix battery drain issue, but it worked for me. Hope it helps others.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] matty100147:
After July update my battery life has increased a good bit, 70% after day 1 of moderate use 3hr screen time and after day 2 down to 35%.. couldn't be happier with the battery on this phone
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] V0latyle:
@Virgo_Guy and others;

When a thread already exists on a topic, we expect you to use the existing thread instead of creating a new thread.

As such, I have moved all posts from "June Update Broke Battery Life" to here.

All members are expected to follow the Forum Rules:
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Since the issue is related to June update only(as per my experience) and not related to other builds it seemed, I thought it would be better to have a thread specific to the "June" build to differentiate it from other builds as this existing thread is about all builds.

Having said this, I absolutely care about the forum rules and if it's better when merged, then I have zero complaints.👍
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
"AWF3" build screwed up battery in mine, nothing helped.

However the latest "AWF9", maybe is good. With it, there's a sudden boost in battery post installation it feels but not sure yet. Just hoping it to be real..
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] gregpot2000:
I came searching Xda just to see if anyone noticed the same.

My phone has gone from easy 36 hours usage, to now barely 24 and needing to charge again before I go to bed

Might have known it was only a matter of time before Samsung broke that dream battery life!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] aafrankies:
What's wrong... Even after July update... Maybe reset can help?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Update:

That happiness shortlived. Endurance of "AWF9" is as bad as June's "AWF3" in mine. It's about 6 and half hrs in a runtime of about 23/24 hrs. It's more than enough for a day, but nowhere near that 9 hrs screen time in approx 28/30 hrs runtime that used to be the norm with every build till June build arrived.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Somebody's been busy fishing for Prime Day deals I see :ROFLMAO:

Has anyone here noticed any improvement in battery life post July update compared to the June updates?

Also, just a quick question: How many of you use "Protect Battery" feature and "Light" Performance Profile setting?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Bulls eye. 😂

I don't, and use on standard mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] shouren04:
I use Light profile always.

I'm getting 9-10 hrs T09/AWF7. About the same with T08/AWF1. Seems to be better than when I was on stock unrooted AWC8, I never did hit 10 hrs then but was only stock for 5-6 days & the first few days or so showed still calculating or whatever.

But I don't use a lot of apps, I don't play games, & I don't use any social media.

I do use Protect mode but has nothing to do with my SOT. I have routines set to turn on Protect mode while wireless charging overnight then turn off Protect mode 1-2 hrs before I wake up. Also have it set to turn off fast wireless charging overnight. Don't know if it will actually make any difference but worth a try.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Fl1nt91:
I was considering to buy a wireless charger.

Does the phone overhrats during slow wireless charging?

Are alle the charger the same? I mean, can I buy some cheap one from AliExpress, or should be better look into some specifics?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] OnnoJ:
You don't specify the service.... Probably talking about SmartThings Find (aka Find my Mobile)?

Why put this in a Battery Life thread?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
"AWF9" :

Went for a factory reset 4 days ago. Immediately put unused apps into deep sleep/sleep. NO sync with cloud services.

Batterylife did not improve, expected it and reminded me of predecessor S22U's as usual batterylife(almost).
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Bäcker:
with location accuracy off the Samsung Cam does not allow geotagging. Is there any way to circumvent this? Right now I use modes/routines to enable GPS when the camera app is active, but maybe there is a better solution?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] shouren04:
With slow wireless charging can feel a bit of heat in the phone & wireless charger. With fast wireless charging both get pretty hot in just 5-10 mins, much hotter than I am comfortable with so I never fast wireless charge for longer periods of time.

I would think there are differences in chargers. I have 2 genuine Samsung 15W pucks from my Note 5 days. When fast wireless charging they have a fan inside that kicks on. Still gets pretty hot even with the fan.

On my Note 5 & Note 8 I actually turned off fast wireless charging because of the heat. In my car I have a Pioneer wireless charging pad. No fan at all & fast wireless charging gets really hot. But I have a routine set up so that anytime my S23U connects to wireless Android Auto it will only slow wireless charge with battery protect enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Thanos88:
Working perfectly for me. Downloaded the free version from play store. Try enabling permissions before you open it (phone permission & notifications)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] lawtq:
Thanks for reply. 🤔 I'll try that
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] peacey8:
Battery life is amazing. Got 8.5 hours screen on time from 100%-0% while using 5G almost all day, WQHD+, performance mode. Could've had an extra 2 hours screen on time easily if I turned on power saving at 20% but I wanted to see how it is without it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] peacey8:
@Dinosaure42 Yes I do but the phone hasn't had a chance to learn my behaviours yet.

Also, this guy on Reddit got 11.5 hours SoT while using lots of social media apps! This is his picture. He does seem to have enabled power saving mode though, not sure when.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] vandal4e:
it's not the same processor it's overclocked for Samsung
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] EtherealRemnant:
I'm having absolutely obscene power spikes when you consider my screen brightness is less than 10% and I'm just using reddit and doing some browsing. I have already put it on the charger. I'm not convinced I'll get all day battery out of it unless I make a lot of tweaks. Right now I'm running 1440 adaptive refresh and brightness in normal performance mode. Anyone else seeing these crazy spikes? 2000+mAh is ridiculous unless you're gaming...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Thanos88:
It's not easy to tell which app is causing the spikes, can you use Gsam Battery Monitor and give adb commands ? It's one of the best apps for observing battery life
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] lawtq:
What's the name of this battery app?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Thanos88:
Looks like the default Samsung battery app
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Thanos88:
I ended yesterday with 10Hours 40Mins SOT, 2 days off charge, wqhd + 120hz + performance (standard) mode.

Fully charged the phone after that, switched to FHD+ + Light Mode, after 9 hours on standby I lost 0% battery.

Happy days 😄
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amar0ki33:
What is the way you get your battery callibrated when you turn on phone first time? Do you wait until it dies and than charge it to 100 percent for first time?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Klaudas:
You don't need to calibrate it. Charge whenever you want.

"This is an old myth that you need to fully discharge a battery and charge it full on first use. Today's modern electronics use Lithium-Ion batteries that don't have a memory which means they can be charged at any point in the discharge cycle."
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Thanos88:
I see ,👍. I've been using Gsam since my galaxy note 3, still works as it did 10 years ago . With adb commands it's perfect
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
You should be able to get all day battery life without making a ton of changes. You got a rogue app causing a drain?

I am using WQHD, Adaptive Refresh, Adaptive Battery and Standard Power. Have Facebook, Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, Paramount+ and Disney+ apps installed. Battery life is so much better than the s22U. I did find two things that were major battery hogs and gave me an extra hour to 1.5 hours battery time. Switching from 5g mobile to LTE only and uninstalling Direct TV app. Right now I am at 6.5 hours on screen time and still have 45% left.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
I did get better battery life after it got done learning so see how that goes. If it still bad after then one of your social media apps or something else is causing a drain. Other than the two things I mentioned I am completely Stock without Root.
