Indeed... I never understand how people get those 5 to 6 hours.

I do not use the phone at work a lot, try to use the websites on my pc browser but still, 3 to 4 hours.

I also think cell phone reception and all the whatsapp, viber, telegram, teams messages that popup, or rather vibrate and show a short AOD color, is a big drainer.

But still... If people can have 30 hours with 5 hours SoT and I can only do 22 to 35 hours with half the SoT... Unsure what I'm doing wrong or can adjust...

So, bring on the hints 😁😉
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] bodomfan:
Factory reset,install everything fresh
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Liquid Li0n:
That's the last thing I want to do. Especially cause I spent quite some time on setting everything up as I don't use SmartSwitch or google restore options.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] bodomfan:
Here is mine so far today , highest resolution screen setting
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Deiota77:
Hi.

Just got y the S24 Ultra and the battery is much battery is much better than the Z Fold 5's.

I'm using the 80% precaution the of the the battery and I'm very pleased with the phone. Tomorrow I'll test the cameras.

I'm glad I switched (literally) the Z Fold 5 to the S24 Ultra.

I'll keep you posted.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Liquid Li0n:
We always show the battery life in hours and with SoT but I am wondering what you get in the Discharging tab.

I made a screenshot so you can see all the figures and frequent used apps.

I don't know if they are low, good or high

for example I see: screen off discharge spee is 0.6%/h so in my eyes it seems good

1.5%/h screen off as average battery usage of 5 days
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] ratasana:
The maximum i've got is 3 full days with 6 hours SOT (100% to 5%). Mostly using 5G , browsing and 1h per day of bt turnet on for headphone , is that good ?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] bodomfan:
That's excellent over 3 days
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Liquid Li0n:
do you have an app like AccuBattery? show us some screenshots. it is really good. you probably don't have a lot of synced apps/pushed notifications.

I think my battery life is not the screen but the massive amount of notifications from the whatsapp, telegram, Teams, fb messenger chatgroups and emails. Also the wireless Android Auto for an hour a day.

I see in Samsung battery monitor that Android Auto and Waze are on the top.

On AccuBattery pro it shows OneUI home, chrome browser and whatsapp as Battery usage top 3

in the discharging speed tab it shows Google Play store and Galaxy store as most battery burning apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Kitsune977:
Would you guys say the "learning phase" makes a big difference? I have the phone for 4 days, and at the moment, I'm not very happy with my battery. I'm mostly on wifi even at work, and my stats today are: 42% used 1h 14 mins sot, 12h 8 mins screen off

At work, where I use my phone for 20 minutes at max, it drops 30% in 8 hours while almost not being in use.

I get through the day but if I used my phone more or had something planned in the evening I would have to charge during the day, probably.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Ploni_almoni:
hello fellas

I bought this phone about two weeks ago and battery was suboptimal for me

I see a lot of ppl here talking about 3 days, mine is barely holding for a day and thats after me doing all kinds of stuff, like putting to deep sleep almost all of the apps, disabling AOD, some other stuff that I dont recall already

I was following this video for that:

perhaps this drain is due to the fact that my only source of internet is mobile network and it being 5g and not really of good quality (usually 2/4 bars of network)

if so, please tell me, so that I at least would know that there's nothing that can be done about it (switching to 4g is not an option bc for some reason 4g only gives me around 100 kbs while 5g gives me 15-20 Mbs)

because of this frustraiting issue I'm not even using mobile hotspot to share internet to my laptop - I use usb tethering

heres a screenshot of good guardian battery tracker:
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] icoman:
We live pretty close to a tower, even though we are a bit remote, and my battery life is pretty nuts. But I'm on T-Mobile home Internet most of the time. However, even at work, where everyone complains about signal, I still usually end up with 45% or more after a 12 hour shift plus a 1 hour commute.

And the official 45 watt charger is amazing. My wife has the s23ultra and she lost her mind with how fast it charges compared to the 25watt. It's very helpful if you forget to charge your phone the night before. Even if you're at near 0%. Just plug it in and by the time you're done with your shower, shaved, gotten dressed it's up by another 40% and I'm good for the whole day. On the 25watt charger I might get 30% in the same amount of time, if I'm lucky, it really just depends on where my battery is at to begin with.

The price for the charger is steep, but I bought a pair of them, open box, off eBay for $40.

I'll update this post at a later date with some proper data.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] liggerz87:
I got this fast charger was cheap and does charge phone from like 15 percent to 80 in like 40 mins
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Liquid Li0n:
well, also here I charge the battery till 80% and I seem to have almost 24 hours or less, but only with 2 or 3 hours SoT.

To give an example:

almost 21 hours (80 till 12 %) and almost 3 hours of SoT

other moment: 14 hours (80 till 10%) with 3hours15m of SoT

but also: almost 25 hours (80 till 14%) with 5hours17m of SoT

So just like with my last phones, I put a lot in battery friendly settings, all black, my screen is never super bright, RAM plus off, AOD on touch, ... But what I notice is that on many places, the cell phone reception is not the best.

At home I have 0 to 1 bar

At work I have 2 to 3 bars

but I don't care cause at home and at work I have wifi.

Update: I have 2 sim cards from same provider in the phone (1 data only and 1 voice)

And you see, 0 bars... I think that's my biggest battery drainer.

What I could try is, I perhaps would put the phone in airplane mode and use wifi like that...it maybe goes on for 10 hours more?? But sometimes you still need the cellular signal for the MFA text messages or very occasional phone call.

Can someone help me identify what's draining my battery?

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] dome8802:
nobody any idea?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Klaudas:
@blackhawk the only one who can help you. He is Steve Jobs of samsung battery especially on note 10. Maybe he has something for you
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
Take out the trash for starters. Login to all social media and sales apps using the browser only. Turn Google play Services on/off as needed.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Liquid Li0n:
Also close all those tabs lol. 78 lol 😂
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
I get good SOT... 6-7%@hr using Brave if not streaming vids even with all those tabs open.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] bodomfan:
With an hour gaming added in
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Klaudas:
For more advanced procedures he should buy separate phone to call? Instead of using messaging apps he should talk with people in person?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
Being stateside I don't need the junkware to make calls or send texts.

I get excellent SOT, a secure, cool running device that fulfills its mission, but what do I know?

All I can tell is it wasn't an accident or dumb luck. Even after 4+ years I continue to optimize my stock N10+'s... zero breaches or installed malware in all that time.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Klaudas:
Never heard of anyone getting real malware on Android. I doubt you can call some ads or guessed passwords (yes, most people use passwords similar to this: "alan123". Super easy to crack, lol) malware. I think a smartphone's mission is to be smart. Deleting all applications and being paranoid about a dying battery, which costs around 60 bucks in most countries after a few years, isn't ideal.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
Androids get hacked in a variety of ways and are far from invulnerable. Almost always by the user themselves.

When I say "fulfills its mission" I mean exactly that. I can stream vids at 95°F ambient without overheating.

Not paranoid, aware. No forced factory resets in almost be 4 years. This load is over 2 yo (original load), the other one 4 years in June. Junkware isn't an advantage, it's a self inflicted downgrade🤣 You are what you load.

Less downtime means more playtime.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Klaudas:
What can you play if you don't have any apps? All mainstream, fun apps are disabled or uninstalled on your device.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Liquid Li0n:
I was curious to try...yesterday evening I charged again till 80% and a few hours later, before going to sleep, I put the phone on airplane mode with wifi and bluetooth still active. And the effect is crazy, 18 hours later I still have 59%

and the most amazing thing is, I tested to call my phone number, it still receives the phone calls because of calling through wifi!
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
Cloud backup and a few other system apps are the cause for excessive night time drain.

On my N10+'s with internet, text and phone on (don't use wifi so it's off) I get .3-.5% @hour with AOD set to tap on.

With AOD always on it's 1%@hour. That's with a smaller battery capacity too.

No cloud anything, Google Play Services and Playstore are normally disabled. OTA and software updates are always disabled. These services use a nice chunk of battery 24/7.

Personally I don't need or use them.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Liquid Li0n:
here it was actually quite good. Even after a night connected to wifi without charging. It is clearly the reception of the 2 sim cards that drain the battery. If I compare it with going to airplane mode...Now I still have 52% and it is almost 24 hours (and even used Android Auto, so airplane mode off)

I will make a routine I think. That, when connected to wifi, the phone gets in airplane mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
The dual sims may not use that much battery, never used it.

On Android 10 I can't see a lot of the battery info I can see with stock Android 9.

Phone uses very little. Android Services which encompasses many services is and was always a hog. It's witchy to sort out too because simply disabling some services may not help battery usage at all or make it worse.

This is the only way I can track Android Services (see below) now on Android 10, maybe 12 and higher have made these hidden services are visible on stock Samsung's?

Basically I use the same disable settings that I learned worked on the N10+ Android 9 on my Android 10 N10+.

Android Services uses about 1%@hr with SOT, drops to near zero with screen off. If it jumps higher I clean with SD Maid, clear the apps in the cache with Device Care and reboot. You can also turn off background battery for it without harm, sometimes this help. Eventually it will revert back on by itself.

What a mess.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Liquid Li0n:
Dual sim in use or not will not be the issue. It is the phone searching for good reception that is what drains the battery imo. So single sim will drain less. Or when you are living or working close to a cell phone tower and have perfect reception, the phone will consume less battery I assume.

That AASAservice I cannot find on my OneUI

Funny that you mention SDmaid, as I used that as well on my S7 Edge and tablet. But I've read that those cache cleaners often do more harm than good, as they remove too much or it always needs to rebuild some structures again which drains too. So I stopped using it on my S10+, S20u and S24u. But you are satisfied with the app?

Do others here use SDmaid or any other cache cleaner?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
It doesn't have to be that particular app; any that are lumped together under Android Services will do.

Rethink firewall is useful for seeing which apps are going nuts on stock Androids. It's battery usage may be misreported; it's very low. Full dns logging and blocking.

SD Maid works well on both my N10+'s but mind the settings, use default if in doubt*.

I don't use the "find duplicates" feature either.

SD Maid Pro never damaged anything in its default settings. Some cleaners can make a mess of things.

*inspect all its settings before using
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Liquid Li0n:
I know the SoT is not much but this is the effect of going airplane mode (this morning when leaving home it is no longer in airplane mode)

from 80% to 12%.

50 or even 60 hours is for sure possible from 100% to below 10 % I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
You should optimize that phone, it's literally burning up the battery. You should be able to get at least 10 hours SOT.

What's using so much battery? Are you doing large up/downloads, games, streaming vids?

I use Brave browser to get a baseline; when doing so I just surf and read, no streaming vids or downloads. On an appropriately 4000 mAh battery I use 6-8%@hour SOT when doing this.

While I don't have 5G or a variable refresh rate display my ram, SOC, etc should be considerably less efficient then the S24U.

Other S24U users are claiming to get 14+ hours SOT; this is not unreasonable with a 5000mAh battery. Out of the box all Samsung's tend to be hot running battery hogs. It doesn't have to be this way. With a good chipset there's room for huge improvements without sacrificing usability/functionality. If you demand all the bells and whistles, bixby, etc than the improvement will be considerably less. More than likely though there's lots of power eating junk you don't use and don't need.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Liquid Li0n:
I don't game or do a lot of streaming on the phone. Most of the time the phone is at my desk or in my pocket. The most Screen on Time a day I get on a laptop 😅. So I don't know either. Whatsapp, messenger, teams and emails, are almost non stop.

AOD is on touch to display, screen never bright, always dark theme, RAM plus off, mostly on wifi (only on the go it's 4g/5g),Bluetooth always on. GPS and NFC only with routines. Phone never gets hot. I never wireless charge or fast charge.

You see, on that 41 hour streak, Samsung launcher is on the top
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
I misinterpreted the previous post? I stopped using Accubattery and switched to Battery Guru. Accubattery Pro was constantly trying to phone home and being a menace in general.

8.2% SOT isn't terrible considering what's running. It should run fairly cool. Still there's room for improvement if you want but some probably be counterproductive for you.

Battery Guru has handy notifications so you don't need to open the app. It's uses little battery but it's layout in the app is clumbersome. I like it better than Accubattery though and it's freeware.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Liquid Li0n:
I installed battery guru and will give that a try. Will keep Accubattery installed for now. I will charge the phone to 100% once again and see.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Liquid Li0n:
but btw, you often hear that those battery monitoring apps do more harm then good. And that those apps, in Android 14, cannot read as much as they could before. But here on XDA I see that most people use battery monitoring apps

AccuBattery, GSAM and now you come up with Battery Guru. Do you think that the constant scanning for temperature, energy levels etc isn't putting unnecessary stress on the battery?

cause I see that on idle the phone is burning 2.7%/h but you can nowhere see what is causing that...
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
Battery temperature is critical info. Real time power usage is a great tool. I use both a couple times a day.

In about 8 hours use it consumed .58% and I have its sampling rate set at max. If you don't open the app and use the notification pull down instead it uses little. It won't moan if Google play Services is disabled like Accubattery wants to. It can be firewall blocked without harm.

Android Services, Google Play Services and more. Many of the system services don't show even on Android 10, on Pie they do.

Google Play Services is probably using at 1%@hour. Backup Transport whatever it's called now, Google Framework and Playstore... they all add up.

You can temporarily disable Google Play Services and see how much more SOT it buys you. Gmail, Framework, Playstore and cloud backup are all dependencies of it. Although disabling just Google play Services won't completely eliminate the drain from those dependencies. I normally disable them all except Gmail (killing play services is enough).

This works on Android 9 and 10, higher versions probably behave similarly but obviously aren't identical. There's about 100 more system apps* in Android 10 than 9. Google made a mess of that and it's much harder to manage. Android 9 is much easier.

I imagine Android 11 and up are a sea of system apps too😖

*mostly Samsung to make them compatible with the newer Gookill system. The smaller ones are generally best left alone unless consuming excessive power. They provide usability, functionality and modify the UI appearance.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Klitoni:
Hi guys.

Im thinking to get the S24U 928B/DS model.

Is there any know issue with the battery or just improvements or firmware related issues?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] bodomfan:
Battery is excellent on my phone
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Liquid Li0n:
So, I used Battery Guru and AccuBattery together (as I didn't want to remove AccuBattery while testing BatteryGuru) and both are great apps, but I feel more or find the AccuBattery Pro GUI better (or got more used to it already)

Also the temperature, CPU usage, etc I can already see via Cool Tool. The app I use on all my Android phones before and you can see it on my screenshot on the top of the screen in post #169

Also I have to say that, with that Routine I made that: when the phone is connected to Wifi, it goes in airplane mode, is working great. The phones lasts minutes or even hours longer then before!

What I probably will try on this phone again is the SDmaid. I still have some play store credits so will even buy the pro version.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Paz9:
14 hours

5.5 hrs SOT

40% remaining with everything on (BT, gps, auto brightness, about 15% hotspot, some AA)

Really can't fault this phones battery ability, coming from a p8pro that would die after 3hrs sot and a 12 hour day
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] bodomfan:
Latest patch?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
That's horrible... it should to be optimized.

Almost 1000 mAh. It's hot running at that level of power consumption.

Maximum acceptable power consumption during SOT is about 500 ma @ hour

[Google Pixel 7] albi1102:
Hello!

I have a problem with my pixel 7.

I Recently thought about flashing custom rom so i needed to unlock the bootloader.

While opening CMD and putting my phone in bootloader mode then searching for ADB devices it shows nothing.

My drivers are installed correctly, phone shows as "android bootloader interface".

I even tried it on ubuntu and linux mint. While checking command lsusb - phone is recognised, but adb can't see it on any operating system. So I assume it's not a driver problem.

Terminal and CMD recognise phone while running and recovery mode whithout any problems.

Whats even funnier, PixelFlasher recognise the phone in bootloader mode and unlocked it without any problem, but now i want to fastboot vendor_boot from crdroid rom and im hitting the wall.

I also checked another USB ports, cables ect, i even tried older versions of platform tools - without success

Did anyone has this kind of problem? I'm stuck on this and it makes me pretty annoyed.

Thanks guys.
[Google Pixel 7] khusika:
The bootloader can only be accessed with the fastboot command instead of ADB
[Google Pixel 7] albi1102:
You're right... Thanks for your help :)

I just opened the cmd in folder where the recovery is and fastbooted it. It works perfectly.
