If you look carefuly you can see that there is a slight gap between the body and the screen, which is narrowing when you 'click' the screen. Such a disappointment

I have the Exynos version and they seem to have the same problem. So apparently it is a global issue where the screen is not properly glued in the left/middle part of the phone. You can hear it clicking and feel it slightly detaching a little bit. The quality is ridiculous

BTW what's your SOT having such low idle drain?

It is very difficult to compare as it depends on the apps and what they do in the background. I'm still surprised that your phone takes only 5% overnight (8 hours you mentioned) with AOD on. When I have AOD this prevents deep sleep (based on GSAM stats)

5% drain overnight is not bad and probably further changes may not be worth the hassle in your case. You still would have significant improvement changing WiFi and AOD, but in your case 50% progress would mean 2-3% overnight drain instead of 5%. In my case (Exynos S8+) AOD takes a lot of battery...

I do not think this is bad for battery but I have not tested it so it is only my guess. Most important thing to have stable (not necessarily very strong) signal.

I'm aware of that and I mentioned that this is compromising some of the main features. However some people may not use gestures for example or iris scanner then it is better to disable them to improve battery.

No, only change precisely what I suggested. You WiFi will turn off when you do not use your phone and you are in WiFi range. When you start using it it will automatically turn on. It will not affect the way you use your phone outside of WiFi range.

3,7 & 8 will not double it but should help significantly. You will see big difference

For those of you who implement my suggestions but are still not happy with the results here are some smaller things that will help a little bit, but will compromise the functionality: a) switch off google now cards if you do not use them b) switch off auto-sync for google play c) switch off...

1. Settings->Connections->Location 2. Settings->Connections->Location->Improve accuracy

My first post here, but have been doing a lot of research and thorough testing and Here is what you need to do in order to significantly improve your battery life (both SOT and idle on both S8 and S8+): 1. AOD off (very important for idle) 2. Google history location tracking off 3. WiFi on...
