    I agree. The radio is killing it. My signal has been **** lately for some reason and I'm only getting 6.5 hours max now without WiFi. Idk what's going on with the signal in my area but I'm usually 4-5 bars. Now I'm 2-3 this past week. And even standby I'm losing like 10% overnight from the...

    How is it subjective?

    That's pretty good. What's your signal like? Do you have location on? What are your settings for everything.

    Galaxy S8 / S8 + Battery Life Thread

    My routine is simple. I use the phone the night after I charge it, and it's usually it's at about 85-90 percent when I'm done screwing around. So I set all my alarms and put the phone down till the morning. My alarms go off now stop because I never wake up the first time. So they repeat...

    That's extremely odd. It has to be something to do with your service or an application you keep installing or something. Who's your provider?

    Yep back to normal. This is with a couple hours WiFi and the rest 4glte . Auto brightness, sync on, notifications on, and location off. High performance mode on.

    Buddy if you're still getting only 4.3 hours of on screen time you need to return the phone. That's not normal. It's impossible unless you are getting 1-2 bars, with maybe a 3 thrown in here and there, max ALL DAY LONG and have no WiFi running on top of it. With say maybe max brightness all the...

    Agreed 100%. An iPhone is nothing to brag about. I've been hearing this optimization crap for years now. That blanket statement doesn't apply anymore.

    Nah just one bad day. 7. 45 - 8 hours OST on strictly 4glte. 10 hours OST on WiFi, average over an hour OST per 10 percent actually on WIFI as you can see below If I mix it up and use WiFi and 4glte I get anywhere from 8.5-9.5 hours OST.

    Yeah I'm still good too. I'm getting 7.45-8 hours on 4glte with all settings maxed out besides location on. I never leave that on. And 10 hours OST on WiFi. That's fine by me. I had one bad day where my signal must have been screwy.

    Nah ik good. I donr use grenify. I've had nothing but problems honestly with stuff like that. Appreciate the advice but I'm getting 7-10 hours OST. I'm fine. If it dips below 7 then maybe I'll turn off auto brightness.
