Battery Life discussion thread.

Same here And that's a good thing.

I think I might make it to 8 or 9 SOT but don't think I would match my Note 10+ 10 to 12 SOT unless I go to 60hz and won't be doing that or change settings to connect only 4g/lte/3g lol

I'll give a week or on adaptive and then test on 60hz.

Think I'm going to be lucky to get 3 hours today screen time

So far I have been getting 6 to 7 hours SOT.....not too bad. If it stays like this I am good to go....

Only thing letting this phone down right now is battery life.

16:30 and it’s down to 27%. No doubt this will be put on a charger after i get home from the gym at 19:00-19:15ish.

Going to need to have look at ways to make this better. Maybe use AOD for tap to show....I’ve changed it to dark mode.

Will give it time to let the battery get used to my usage.

Maybe i need to use less widgets.

Thanks. My area is covered with 5G, but I have no 5G. It must be because I'm still on a old Unlimited Plus plan, that actually has a real unlimited mifi that I hate to get rid of......ugh, plus I don't think any of their newer plans offer anything more than I have now other than being more pricey?

Did you already do the old plan and new plan comparison?

 

[NIZMOZ44]

It won't show me any new plans other than mobile share plans for some reason when I try. lol.

How are you guys getting such good battery life? My first full day at work (no wifi) I'm getting 5 hours SOT, 100% to dead. Using T-Mobile 5g Network when available. Unable to last me a full day. I have AOD turned off and adaptive display on. What am I missing here? Should I ask for an exchange?

Note: Don't mind the COD I was playing the game while charging. And the SOT saids 5 hours and 56 minutes, but that includes the charge time and usage after so minus about 57 minutes which gets me roughly 5 hrs SOT on a full days.... Kinda disappointed. Hope it gets better.

Go to manage plan, you should get an option to compare plan.

I find the battery really drains hard when on 4GLTE/5G network compared to on wifi. I know this applies to all devices but my S10+ definitely had better battery life compared to the Note. My S10+ can last me all day without having worry to charge it at all. With the Note, I definitely need to charge it by the afternoon. Its definitely not an all day battery phone from my usage. I know its still early but its what I am seeing from past couple days.

This is all I see sadly.

My thinking also, after leaving my Note at home with no sim card, 8.5 hrs later it had lost 1% battery.

That's an older plan. Let me look, I think the latest one is "Unlimited Elite" and I think it's a lot lower than your plan. Here is the one I have.

Question, did you set it up fresh or used a backup ?
