Battery Life discussion thread.

Are you getting a lot of notifications or messages? Normally I lose about 5-7% overnight and I believe that's due to the amount of messages and/or notifications from other apps.

I don't believe so. Emails, instagram, and Twitter are probably the only things truly still active overnight and even those are minimal.

One more from Device Care anyway lunch break over.

I wish I didn't have such poor signal at work. My battery life isn't great. Definitely worse than my Note 10+ too.

Sorry

Battery life is amazing so far.
Also. You guys should know you can turn 5G off if you want. I would think depending on your carrier you might want it off. I noticed my phone kept switching back and forth a lot I guess where I live it's not super good.

I agree. I was getting pretty high battery drain when I had 5G turned on. I don't live in a 5G area. After turning it off my battery life increased dramatically. I was loosing about 6% every 30 minutes SOT with 5G enabled. After turning it off I'm only losing about 2% every 30 min SOT. Just doing basic browsing, FB or forum scrolling. Nothing heavy.

I am running the same settings as you if not more and I am only at 1.5 hours SOT and at 62% battery. At this rate I will be getting 4 hours give or take which is completely horrible and worse then the Note10+. How is this possible? Can anyone answer this? I have even completely removed 2 of my 3 home pages with widgets and turned AOD to tap to wake and it doesn't seem to matter. I am at a loss and starting to think my phone's battery is defective.

AT&T does not.

I'm in the UK using a Note 20 Ultra from Samsung UK on a network called o2 so yes the permissions maybe different.

Wonder why Att don't allow this !!

This seems strange for the Snapdragon 865+, did you use smart switch or a clean installation?

Smart switch from a Note9. That's also in my list of culprits. If after a few more tweeks and it doesn't help, I'm going to try a fresh reset and install my apps via the play store manually.

 

[bandofbrothers2112]

I'm not keen on Smartswitch either.

I prefer to use Samsung Cloud to restore but download my apps via the mylibrary in the Playstore.

My battery is definitely better than before! Best I've ever had so far. What I did was turn on Adaptive Power Saving and put a bunch of apps I don't use in the "Put to Sleep" list.

Did you use Smart switch when you first setup your device?

 

[Venom0642]

Wow didn't even realize my SOT just got home from work. Definitely loving the 120hz, Also i did install my backup from Smart Switch.

Edited and no i didn't put any apps to sleep just saying.

I'm guessing you probably don't have many apps installed on your phone that run in the background.

I notice with mine when I use Whatsapp, it makes the battery go down fast, but if I use anything else it drains slow.
