Verizon Galaxy S8 Battery

[Biker Dude]

I'm coming from the S7 Edge and am having terrible battery life with my new S8. Shouldn't this battery be better than the S7? I have tried everything I could think of so far to make it better but no luck so far. If I can't figure this out soon, I'm going back to the S7 (even though I love the S8, I need a battery to last a full day on only moderate use). My only requirement is that I must leave the bluetooth on all the time.

I just noticed that my 'Exchange Email' is taking up 23% of battery usage. What settings should I change to make this better?

Any ideas will be appreciated.

How long have you had the phone? Can you show a screenshot of your battery stats, please?

I have had the phone only since Saturday morning. As for the screenshot, I have been charging the phone so it doesn't show anything of value. However, when I looked at it this morning, it showed 23% usage for my exchange email.

Try closing that out or uninstalling and reinstalling. I am experiencing amazing battery life, something like 18 hours with the phone per day and 5-7 hours of SoT with a ton of stuff running all day. Also connected to the Gear S3 all day and bluetooth headphones for 6 plus hours. This has been the best battery on Android I have every seen but far.

Is this with the s8 or the s8+?

Great question as I suspect quite a few awesome battery posts are actually the plus and not the regular
