[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] TheMystic:
I guess that's because you used your phone normally. Pretty much everyone here who is very impressed with the battery life must admit that their usage was largely watching videos for long hours in minimum brightness, and on Wi-Fi.

For that kind of usage, even my S22U would give me 7+ hours of SOT, but with my real-life usage I get somewhere between 4 to 5 hours on average on Wi-Fi (only about 3 to 3.5 hours on mobile data). I keep all radios ON, screen brightness at a comfortable level (my eyes are more important than my phone's battery), and I just got used to charging my phone twice everyday. By the time my battery life degrades to about 75% (currently it is at 89% according to Accubattery after almost 2 years), I'll get my next phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Liquid Li0n:
I googled some more about it and I read an article for the S23...Which is probably similar. but then I read this:

Using navigation: If you are on a long road trip with Google Maps running on your phone while it is being charged, you can use bypass charging to keep your phone temperature under control without completely discharging your device during the trip. Note that Samsung does not support the feature on non-game apps, so you can’t use this on Samsung phones just yet.

Docked use cases: If you plan to use desktop mode fairly frequently, you can keep your phone’s battery in good shape with bypass charging. Note that Samsung does not support the feature on non-game apps, so you can’t use this on Samsung phones just yet.

You can theoretically add any app to Game Launcher, not just games. However, Game Launcher will present a toast message saying, “This app isn’t a game. Some features will not work.” Sadly, bypass charging will not work in practice, as per our testing, even though it may appear to work. Your battery percentage will increase when you use the feature in a non-game app.

The parts I marked in red, Does someone know if that is still the case with the S24?

A bit of a pity that it can only be used for gaming...
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] T1Cybernetic:
I wonder if it would take effect if there was a game running at the same time as a navigation app :ROFLMAO: might be worth a try.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Liquid Li0n:
Yes indeed. A very basic game but good enough to trigger it. Hopefully the games doesn't need to be on the foreground for the function to work.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
I've been using the S24U for the last 12 days. And the batterylife has been so far seems to be less than S23U exactly in similar usage pattern and settings.

My experience is similar to THIS.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] michellejordaan:
Finding the same thing, the s23u last longer for me. with same day to day usage. hate this new battery monitor on phone, preferred being able to see a full charge to next one
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] michellejordaan:
also considering getting a watch 6. would using it paired with bluetooth to s24u use alot of battery
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] TheMystic:
I keep mine connected all day. Although I can't quantify the battery usage, I don't think it is anything significant. On the other hand, if you keep your watch connected to WiFi instead of Bluetooth, then that will drain the watch battery much faster.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Based on first hand experience,

It was quite hard to completely drain the battery of S23U in a day over heavy usage. Same doesn't hold true to the S24U.

Hope it changes with the upcoming firmware update..s.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hollabizack12:
My exact thoughts.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] NullZeroNull:
I didn't notice significant changes between the S23U and S24U. It may be a bit better for the S24U. It is so dependent on individual usage patterns...
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] inthedark22:
Me too. But then i let the battery run al the way down to zero and it was much better
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] eyeatoma:
Same has been at best the same as the s23. I'd like to see people with elite battery levels who aren't disabling half their features on their phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Goku1992:
IT will change. For most people the s24u seems even better than s23u...
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Goku1992:
Yeah calibrating it is always a good thing
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] MrMike2182:
For some reason I don't think it's mind blowing that the iPhone last as long as it does and that's because it doesn't even have nearly half the functions our S24s do! I could swear that if Apple took the operating system from the S24 Ultra and put it on any of their devices it always be number 1 to die! It never has any new features or anything I mean your home screen and icons have to be whatever they choose for you which is why I hate iPhone! You can't optimize it and theme it to truly make it yours and just about every stupid app in their store has to be bought! They're nothing but the same year after year with just a little extra strength.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Spere:
Stopped charging 2d 14 hours ago. 7 hours of SOT and I'm at 33%. Very happy with the battery life on this device.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Liquid Li0n:
give us some more details.

Is it on light performance or 60hz screens, FHD+ etc

that is exactly it. They also always say that they use it on peak brightness, so the higher NITS a phone screen has, the more energy it costs. They better put it on the same brightness. Also the resolution is sharper with Android phones then the iphone.

They can even put on the NFC, bluetooth or whatever on device A and switched off on device B to create another outcome.

They should also use chrome on all devices, not safari here and chrome there!

These battery tests doesn't do a phone justice
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] robbbzilla:
I think people need to wait a bit before concluding anything. First off it takes at least two weeks for adaptive battery to learn your usage habits. The phone is running lots of processes during setup as well. Once people have been using their phones for a month and notice a difference then I would be more concerned. Firmware updates can also help with battery life.

From tests I have seen the s24 ultra lasts a couple hours longer than the s23 ultra.

In my experience I would say that seems about right. Battery life is just a little better than the s23 ultra. I certainly don't see a degradation from the s23 ultra?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Spere:
S928B/DS

FHD+ (more than enough on screen this small)

Adaptive refresh rate up to 120Hz (stock setting?)

Adaptive screen brightness

Mostly WiFi (at home, 4G on the go. Always some kind of network connection)

Somewhat debloated

Quite a lot of apps in deep sleep

Performance profile: Light (Still feels a lot smoother than my S22U Exynos)

RAM Plus Off

NFC on 24/7

GPS and location services Off (I have no reason to keep apps tracking me)

Dark theme on phone and all apps that possible (not pitch black, just dark)

Never on Airplane mode or similar, only bluetooth off at nights.

Watch5 Pro connected via bluetooth (except at nights)

SOT mostly from Brave, Discord, Reddit and WhatsApp

Anything else you'd like to know?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] bodomfan:
Sounds like my setup besides NFC I only turn on when needed
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Liquid Li0n:
I have a routine that puts on NFC when I open certain apps like google wallet.

I was wondering, about RAM plus, it's on by default, does it take a lot of battery? If so, I also turn it off.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] bodomfan:
Mix of WiFi and data
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Liquid Li0n:
I've read, I think it was even on XDA forum, that using a battery monitoring app is just an extra factor that drains the battery more. Cause it continously scans for those statistics.

Is this still the case or does, e.g. AccuBattery (Pro) hardly drain the battery extra?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] sd97cl:
My battery is quite crappy. Idle drain is horrific. Off the charger at 430am and the screenshot was taken at 6am. S24U sd3 tmobile usa
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] jaseman:
RAM plus doesn't use battery...but it really is a gimmick for Android. It is basically a cross between a RAM DISK used in Windows and a SWAP FILE also used in Windows. Windows works entirely differently than Android. Without going into the ugly details you do NOT need RAM PLUS at all for Android...especially with any of the S24 series!
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Bigmille:
Personally, I don't believe that is the case these days. The battery monitor app doesn't show up as using any power when you are using your phone with the screen on or off. Therefore, the only difference would be extra drain when the phone is in deep sleep mode.

As you can see in the screenshot, my phone's battery discharged 1% for every hour in deep sleep. Personally, I don't consider that's detrimental to my usage to have AccuBattery running.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Liquid Li0n:
thanks for the info both of you.

I will turn off the RAM Plus and I had some play reward points that I used to by the pro version of accubattery so looking forward to the statistics.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] NisseGurra:
Any fix for the stupid implementation of battery stats?, why not give stats from charged instead an day?

Was fine in previous Samsung ui.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] KosInUK:
We have to wait for that damn update to come. Samsung this is my last phone that i will use (i know samsung spies read these comments). I'm thinking going back to Iphone.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Bigmille:
This and the non adjustable AOD brightness, lock screen notifications change makes the phone behaving like iOS.

If or when I want to use iOS, I have an iPhone for that.

Samsung should give the owner all options possible, we can choose how to customise our phone to our liking.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] TheMystic:
I started using AccuBattery just to get back this Stat. I don't think Samsung and other OEMs who have removed it are going to bring it back. Morons.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] hand-filer:
Here's hoping.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Provinomico:
All the **** android phones run in the background plus all the vendor specific services -ie Samsung- is what make iOS phones more efficient. Mobiles nowadays are data farming devices and every joe and their mother is trying to take advantage of it. Apple is a bit more restrictive in that regard. That's the only thing I envy.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] 0rigin:
Why does screen off need so much energy? Is it the double tap sensor maybe?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] KosInUK:
Battery is great better then Iphone, stop whinging.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Liquid Li0n:
when I check my accubattery pro, I have at screen off/standby 47.3% (2399 mAh in 31h 26m
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] 0rigin:
Actually it was the first time I was using this app and thought the actual screen uses that much energy while off lol. Pretty happy with my current setup though, the phone seems very efficient and the battery lasts a while.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Liquid Li0n:
I also installed it recently and did a full charge to 100% (I will no longer do this anymore, will unplug it at 85% if I can) and the battery is great. But I remember that is always when the phone is new. In a month or 2, 3 it will already be worse. Although I always charge slow and never wireless

12 february around 22 o clock I unplugged it and now 14 february at 10 o clock I still have 14%
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] MasterThiefGarrett:
You can just turn on battery saver so it won't charge past 85%, so no need to unpug earlier :)
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] bodomfan:
What setup
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Liquid Li0n:
light performance profile

RAM plus off

auto brightness off and screen 1/3rd brightness or less

NFC off

AOD on

mix with wifi and 5g but mostly wifi

adaptive screen 1-120hz

all as dark as possible

QHD+ resolution

sync on (social media, 2 emails, chat apps)

I think that sums it up a bit

I already notice now that I charged to 85% and used some Android Auto too I have now 57% a few hours later.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] bodomfan:
Solid 💪
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Liquid Li0n:
Not that much. 5 hours on that 40 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] bodomfan:
Still good considering standby
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Liquid Li0n:
Thanks

I was wondering, maybe some of the guys here know more then me about it.

I had it on the previous phones too. when I slowly charge my phone, it seems to last longer then when I fast (or faster) charge the battery, then it drains faster too.

Also wondering if using different cables and chargers is good. At work, my bed, car, etc I all have different chargers. I only charge when the phone is below 20% (unless I can't) and the fast charge option is always off.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] bodomfan:
I use an Anker cable in the Samsung charger
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] 0rigin:
This is S24+ exynos and I am absolutely flabbergasted by the battery life in this thing. I could hardly get even a single day usage out of my previous S21+, even when it was new.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Liquid Li0n:
I am wondering why the Samsung battery monitoring is saying that the AOD is the number one battery drainer while Accubattery pro doesn't say this... For the moment it tells me my banking app (lol) and Facebook app are the biggest drainers.

I tend to believe that it can be AOD so why does a specific app for battery stuff doesn't mention it.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Liquid Li0n:
Meanwhile after some charges (app is in Dutch but you probably still understand)
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] giosal:
Hi all,

I've upgrade from S22 Ultra Exynos and am actually impressed with the battery life, I'm getting up to 18 hours of battery life with 3-4 h SOT vs 10-11 hours with 1-2 h SOT. Will post the screenshots later
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] giosal:
Here are some screenshots from my last discharge session.

What I forgot to mention is that I'm using QHD+ (3120x1440px) resolution with Adaptive motion smoothness (120hz) on S24 Ultra vs FHD (1560x720px) resolution and Standard motion smoothness (60hz) on S22 Ultra Exynos.

So, I am amazed with the battery life, honestly.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Provinomico:
I'm seeking to optimize battery drain @ screen off, I'm about 0,4% / hour , idk how much room for improvement there is left but I have not finished reviewing all the crap that runs just because, and on the 3rd full charge cycle it's bettering my old S22 ultra by a day or so
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] bodomfan:
What stuff did you stop running in the background
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Provinomico:
Well, I'm not a typical user, I don't want my phone to notify me of anything except calls, the original main function of a phone.

Mail, messages, etc, I'll check them when I want to check them. I don't want anything running in the background. Widgets? I'll refresh them manually. So aside from debloating the most common unwanted packages, on the last charging cycle I'm running having 'don't keep activities' enabled and background process limit to 'no background processes'. The only thing that's running is GSam -and a couple of good lock modules-.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Spere:
Didn't even get to 8h SOT (almost 4 days with single charge):p

Tbh, from 100% to 5% in 91 hours with 7h12m SOT is amazing for me. I'm very much positively surprised.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] willhub:
I've learnt over the years, there is going to be people boasting about amazing SoT, some will have done extensive tweaking possibly putting all apps into sleep etc.. which can have its own issues, but it's not easy or common to be able to hit the boasts of super high battery life.

My S24 Ultra life varies, 5-8 hours SoT with a mixture of WiFi and 5G usage, generally lasts the day always more than 30% left in the battery, can get by 2 days if I don't use it much at all.

So if it gets through a day then that's the important factor, the main gripe I've had is when I've ever been on holiday, mostly abroad and use the camera allot and it won't last a day, it remains to be seen if the S24 Ultra will do this, assuming I even get abroad before my S24 Ultra is traded in.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Liquid Li0n:
exactly. I want to have a smartphone and not a dumb phone and still I manage, the way the phone works, to have more then 24 hours of battery life. Although in a year it maybe becomes 20 hours or less, but that's with every generation.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Spere:
I'm not looking for best possible battery life myself. Yes I have disabled some bloatware and have many apps set to deep sleep (ie. I don't want some weather app to run ever in background, I'm fine it updating the cast when I open the app to see what's coming, same for many other apps).

Also I do have data (wifi or 4g) always on and some folders of my phone are synced to cloud if there is changes in files (ie. every photo I take with phone is uploaded instantly), these are running all time. Also I do get notifications of emails, whatsapp, discord etc. apps instantly, haven't disabled them in anyway (to not be at that dumb phone state). Basically same stuff I had with my S22U Exynos and it didn't get even near to this battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] NullZeroNull:
I agree with you. I want a usable battery life. I debloated apps that I have no use for, and I disabled some notifications that are not important. I do have the file synched in the background. That is a key thing for me, and I don't care if that uses battery. I keep the battery between 40 and 80%. As it stands now, my battery lasts enough for my uses before I need to charge,

The phone is a tool. I customize it to the point it suits my needs, but I won't spend an insane amount of time tweaking things for another 5% battery. There is the law of diminishing returns...
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Rzgorsek:
Hello. I have S24 Ultra for about 2 weeks now, and i have so bad battery life i just cant explain it.. before S24 Ultra i had iPhone 14 Pro Max and he lasts way more than S24 Ultra and its new!!! I'm so disappointed, i switch from Apple to Android after 5 years and this is such a shame. Anyone else experience this? I get around 7 hrs screen on time on 2 year old iPhone 14 Pro Max i get about 9hr - 10hr. S24 ultra also drains from 100% to 99% in 1 min of scrolling on Facebook
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] eyeatoma:
I have the same issues as you. How is your network signal. that might the issue right there. For me I was able to get more battery life by using Max HQ you can find a thread about it on the s23 ultra site.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] tfn:
Hi

If you want the best battery life

1. Never do Smartswitch

2. back up you contacts, messages, photos etc on Google One

3. Factory Reset your phone

4. get your stuff from the back except settings and apps.

5. manually install apps as and when needed.

Enjoy your phone. no need to dumb your phone down or whatever nonsense you people do.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] meyerweb:
I'm mostly on WiFi, and I'm not interested enough to go into great detail analyzing it. But I have mine set to cut off charging at 80%, and generally try to charge it when it gets down to around 40%. (That range is the sweet spot for long term battery life, and I plan to keep this long term.)

Anyway, in my typical usage, which involves lots of screen on time and internet use, but no gaming, I'm typically getting between 22 and 24 hours from 80 down to 40. An entire day on less than half of battery capacity seem pretty darn good to me. When I het 20%, the phone tells me I still have more than 1 day of battery left.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] bodomfan:
My battery is fine
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] zax31:
I have both s24ultra and s23ultra, 12g1tb and 12g512gb latter.

Since day 1 i noticed some battery problems, i don't do much on the phone besides whatsapp, talk, some short and light gaming.

S24ultra lasts me half day the s23ultra would, i downloaded cpu x and checked battery, big difference. On s23ultra 57% means 2days of my usage and 24C, on my s24ultra means 1d and 30C.

both FHD+, adaptive, battery protection, performance profile light.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] bodomfan:
Today's use so far ,much better than my s23 ultra was
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] adrianhoria:
Very happy with the battery, 19h here, charging in the morning, all on BT wifi nfc, qhd ( i want to profite my phone), 5h sot, 45% remaining, lot of music streaming which seems to eats lots of battery. Very content, i can use my phone my way without charging at 18h like s22 ultra exynox
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] zax31:
exynos? srsly? my s22ultra was way too bad until i got to s23ultra, that is a beast, i charged the phone once at 2 days with intensive browsing, yt shorts and marvel snap game; nevertheless, the stutter it game that exynos chip was like playing on 60hz in 2024. now it seems i m back at s22 with my s24ue
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] adrianhoria:
I think i didn't explicite clearly enough, English not my native language. I'm content with s24U battery. 20h with all on, qhd+ on, way better than s22u exynos, which was 1 day max
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] adrianhoria:
S22ultra exynox, need a charge each 12h

~14 hr sot
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Davie Dave:
Any changes in SOT?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Davie Dave:
iam getting mediocre SOT just got the phone 3 days ago. Could it be a defective device. Im using Verizon version HD+ screen resolution, adaptive smoothness and auto brightness but mostly my brightness is close to max. Any advice?
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Liquid Li0n:
can it be, with the February update, that it needs to settle down again or the battery is less effective. In AccuBattery pro my deep sleep is no longer 0,x but 1.0% and restarted the phone already.

Now doing a 2nd charge after the update.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Davie Dave:
I don't know the phone is just new
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Davie Dave:
And I don't play games on it yet
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Liquid Li0n:
I have a question for the accubattery experts here.

I wonder why, and I've seen it more often already, that it splits up the charges in 2 parts? Is there a way to get it into 1?

In the screenshot here you see it goes from 14 to 45 and then makes a new one to show 45 to 80%?

Very confusing.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] willhub:
It's been 17 days since I've done a full charge, with my S22 Ultra I would have done 17 full charges in this time. So when I seen this in accubattery I was reassured the battery life is excellent.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] bodomfan:
Anyone else feel April patch gives less battery life than previous updates
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] liggerz87:
I found it's the opposite with march update I found battery wasn't lasting as long but with the April update I did do a factory reset been about a week
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] bodomfan:
How's battery since doing a reset
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] liggerz87:
I'd say pretty good wonder how long the 25 percent will last me now as I got a power cut
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] bodomfan:
I don't use accubattery anymore,here's mine today
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] liggerz87:
8.50 electric came back on so wasn't to bad
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Liquid Li0n:
I am quite satisfied I must say. but actually it just even depends from charge to charge almost.

you see 80 ->13 % in 33h with almost 3 hours of SOT

then the other 27h with almost 4 hours of SOT

but then: 79 to 9% only 22 hours with almost 4 hours SOT and it is not that the mAh is that much higher.

So the screen on time and CPU is not enough to know why it somethings goes over 30 hours and sometimes not even 24 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Deiota77:
Hello.

I have a Z Fold 5 and im swithching to a s24 ultra in a day or two.

My concern is the battery. Mine never lasts long.

How can i proceed with the battery (software meaning and charging behavior) since day 1?

Please help me out. I dont want to mess another brick..

Thanks
