help me fix my battery on s8+

[JakeMcGovern]

Hey guys, battery life has always been fine on my S8+ but suddenly in the last week or so awful... does anybody know any way to get back to out of the box battery?

Phone has also slowed down quite a bit. Maybe because i am nearly out of memory?

Any suggestions appreciated!

Factory reset

I see you are a new user - welcome to Android Central! Before doing a factory reset, perhaps try the following options:

- put your S8+ into Safe Mode and see if the battery life/lagging still persist. If not, then it is likely an app that is causing some issues for you

- check out your battery usage stats. Perhaps there are a few apps running in the background (maybe they're not updated to the latest software, as well) that are causing a bit of a hog on your battery
--> screenshot your battery usage stats to us so we can assist you too!
--> if you use a battery-intensive app like Facebook or Facebook Messenger, there are some browser Facebook apps that do most of the same functions as the regular app and will use less battery

- have you downloaded any new apps or started using a new launcher or any kind of widget in the last week or so? Sometimes those things can affect battery life as well

Everyone will say factory reset. It's a oain to get your phone back to where it was and also reauthorizated everything.

A few things I do

1. Wipe cache partition
2. Look in developer options for running programs
3. Delete Facebook app and use web app instead
4. Use package disabler

Even with this I still have these issues. It's usually an app that is draining your battery using background services but finding that app or apps can be difficult imo.
