I am in the process of transferring apps. data and so on from a Galaxy Note 9 to a Galaxy S21 Ultra

There is some issues but the biggest seems to be the horrible battery usage.
The Note 9 had a power mode under battery/power mode mine is set to optimized

I can not find a similar setting on the S21 Ultra.
Can anyone advise?

You have to long press each app >tap info>tap battery can change there , dont transfer settings over coming from different Android version and battery will take a hit for first few days until everything settles and learns your usage

In settings/apps I can press on any app for more settings but long press does not work

The S21 Ultra has a power saving switch under Settings > Battery and device care > Battery > Power saving

Your going through settings, I was referring shorter cut by long press any app on home page or apps drawer

I tried that and long press on app or home page does not get me to settings.

I just turned that setting on. What does power saving change?

[mustang7757]

I'll circle what I mean

[tonyvr4]

I'll circle what I mean

I am using a different launcher so it looks different. When I long press on an app I get options and one of those is a circle with an ! in it.
That brings up app info

But do you mean I have to change every app to optimize?

[tonyvr4]

I am concerned as to why a S21 Ultra with a 5000 mAh battery gets poorer battery time than a Note 9 with a 4000 mAh battery ?

Yes in Android 12 probably was Android 11 also

You'll have 3 selections it's no longer available in settings>apps>3 dots upper right corner>battery optimize

Note 9 had only 60zh panel and was one the best battery Life I had on that device 11 to 12 SOT a day battery

[mustang7757]

FHD screen resolution
Drop to 60 hz
Turn 5g off
Leave automatic brightness
Turn AOD off

What is SOT a day battery?

[tonyvr4]

You want have similar results
FHD screen resolution
Drop to 60 hz
Turn 5g off
Leave automatic brightness
Turn AOD off

I definitely would like to try that. Where are those settings ?

[mustang7757]

What is SOT a day battery?

Screen On Time with 1 day battery before charging

[mustang7757]

First 2 and brightness automatically are in settings>display

5g in settings connection

[Roadijeff]

It's supposed to extend battery life although I've never used it.

[tonyvr4]

First 2 and brightness automatically are in settings>display
5g in settings connection

I looked in settings/display and do not see FHD but I do see screen resolution FHD+.
It is set to FHD+ already

Is that what you meant?

I do not see 60hz

I do not see 60hz

Yeah then go to motion smoothness in same menu turn to 60hz

[tonyvr4]

Yeah then go to motion smoothness in same menu turn to 60hz

Ok so I have FHD+ set
I can not set motion smoothness to standard (60hz) because battery saving is on.
I had to turn that off.

What else should I do to save battery?
I have dynamic lock screen off

Yeah battery save automatically puts it in 60hz , turn AOD off of tap to see in settings>lock screen
Dark mode and turn 5g off you should see significant difference

Great. I will try those and see how it goes

I really appreciate all the help. There is always a learning curve with a new phone plus this is the first time I used android 12
Thanks

Turning 5G off worked wonders for my battery usage. Do it.
