s10+ exynos: Battery life issues. - Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers

Hello there,
I am newbie here, so please excuse me if tons of threads like mine are found across this forum, but believe me when I say i've read 'em all and I can't really work out a solution that suits me.
I've seen that people having the exynos version of s10+ deal with huge battery life problems, and so do I.
On the contrary, I've also seen screenshots of people getting 10 to 14 hours of sot on their s10+ and I really wonder how they achieve it.
First of all, I'd like to say that I've already tried all the minor tweaks like decreasing brightness, screen resolution, animations etc..
I don't really know how to use the "put apps to sleep" thing, and I'd like an opinion to that.
Anyway, I've observed that when I'm on mobile data/4G, the battery drain is insane. Like 1% per 3 minutes or so. Not that good for a smartphone at the cost of almost 1k €, huh?
These are the battery usage stats I get:
-usage by apps

-battery usage
-android system consumption setting
So...I don't know what's causing the android system to consume such large amount of battery.
-I didn't restore from any back up when I set up my s10+ almost 2 weeks ago.
-I wiped the partition cache yesterday
-I've optimized all apps (including facebook, messenger and instagram, although I use notification glimpse to get the screen to wake up when I'm sent a message)
-Always on Display is set to "off"
-Battery saving mode is set to "optimized" with adaption pattern set to "on"
-Almost 40% brightness during most of the day
-I'm running the latest software available
-animation frames decreased to 0.5x and also reduced via settings
-location and bluetooth permanently set to "off"
-I've already read the battery optimization guide, but I don't feel like turning all the features that drove me to buy this device to "off"..There has to be another way
Please take your time to look into it and enlighten me because it's so frustrating that a 1000 euros smartphone has to be so much tweaked to produce a decent battery outcome.

First of all. Your battery stats aren't bad at all. 20h on battery with 4 hours and 30 mins screen on and 32% remaining. :laugh:
You managed those stats with 4g only? That would be just perfect
10h of screen on is possible if you just stay on the phone after you unplug it.(did it myself) but only wifi and indoors brightness(@30%)

They are bad. Android systen usage is too high. Mine is about 7-8 % over 20 hours.

I had 4G open (whether the phone was idle or active & messaging etc) about 5 to 7 hours in total. Can't be totally sure. The rest of the day I either used WiFi or no internet connection at all.
The battery since the last charge lasted 25h with Android system draining 22% of it. That fkn huge. I don't know what's causing it. I just tried to restrict it from running to background, but the adaptive power option keeps re-enabling it.. xD

Yeah, I've noticed, I'm asking if there's a way to fix it or find what's causing this and then fix it.

There is plenty of things to turn off because of android system high usage. Install battery gsam monitor, grant adb permissions then you will see what drains youe battery.
Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk

So what app should I use to see what's draining my battery and what's causing android system to drain almost 30% of battery per charging circle?

I'm getting 4 hrs of average SOT on 4G with youtube, some browsing, calls with standby time of about 15hrs.
But on Wifi SOT is 7+ hrs.

Bad battery life after 107 update

Just like the title says. I have checked all my settins syncs which programs are running in the background and so forth.. so im sure its not that..
Anyways here goes.
Before the update I could get about 12-14 hrs of use out of a full battery charge, however after this update I can only get about 5-7 hrs out of a charge.. Nothing had changed.. my usage is the same, my wifi,bluetooth,gps,4g are all off. I don't have any programs syncing or updating in the background.. So i have NO CLUE as to why my battery life cut in half after this update.
I already posted this elsewhere......my battery life was really great before this update.
Same exact settings now as before, plus the phone was reloaded to factory settings by the Sprint store first as I was having some other issues...email not coming through timely, cell signal falling and dropping calls, etc.
My battery life is now 1/2 of what it was prior to the D107 update.
I would say wait and see. When I would flash roms on my HTC phone the battery would die quickly for awhile. After 2-3 full charges it would go back to normal.
Check Cell Standby in battery status. See if Time without signal is 50% or more.
Cell standby is 18% and time without signal is 7%
My time without signal is only 2% So I'm not sure what is going on to make my battery life soo bad.
i got 9 hours today with decent usage where before if say 12 or so ... since the update my time without signal is in the 30-50% range on average & it was 3-4% before .. im a little frustrated on that & i know its taxin the battery a little so . . .
my update has really screwed my battery life. I notice too that Juice Defender keeps reading at 1.00x instead of 1.6-1.8 before the update. I also notice my TWS was at 50-52%. I tried the Airplane mode toggle and it didn't do ****. I really love this phone, but i'm about to return it and try another before my 30 days is up.
So far, i'm concerned with:
back button is not consistent (works sometimes sometimes it sucks)
TWS over 50% of battery consumption.
upgrade made juicedefender not work
little wobble in the phone but not too bad
scratched screen just from rivet in jeans
AND pissed about the tv out that sprint omitted

The back button is a defect in an early batch of phones.. If you swap it, you will probably get a working model..
My email app didn't sync after the update, so I had to reinstall Roadsync. It might be the same thing with JuiceDefender.
My battery is getting much better. Not sure if it is the galaxy rom, the update or my battery is just getting conditioned better. I unplugged my phone this morning and have been on it constantly web browsing, music, 4g, 3g, lots of tapatalk use. 36% left and just approaching 4hrs of being unplugged.

How do you roll back this update.
Sent from my Samsung Epic 4g using XDA App
after i re-flashed and updated, ive experienced big drops from the 90% zone to like 75% in a short amount of time but then the decrease stays pretty slow.
im using adv task killer on maximum and juice defender
this combo works pretty well for me, i cant explain the 25% loss. I think my battery still needs calibration, but i get around 14-18 hours normally.
I've noticed the increased battery drain also. I've been tracking it the past couple days with Spare Parts. If you open Spare Parts, click on Battery history. If your phone is running like mine is right now, the Running time is at almost 100%. That means that something is preventing it from sleeping. Next, click the tab that says "other usage", and change it to "Partial wake usage". Mine is showing that Android System is the culprit, causing the partial wake lock. It was not doing this before the DI07 update. I did a factory reset this morning and the only app I installed was Spare Parts, just to make sure it wasn't an app I was using. I get the same results on a fresh clean ROM as I do using noobnl's ROM. NOT COOL!
Well my full run through of the battery is over. I've turned a new leaf about the battery on this. I'm keeping the Epic.
Conditions: Was at zero brightness for about 4hrs of this. Set it to 0 after getting to work. You can see the screen perfectly fine at 0 indoors. (30 minute ride)
GPS - Off except the couple times I checked out google earth
Sync - full manual syncing / with background data on to use the market
Usage: Heavy heavy usage for all but 20 minutes. Total time with screen actually on was about 4 1/2 hours. Lots of tapatalk use, streamed about 20 minutes of CNN via Slingplayer, Streamed about 10 minutes worth of music via last FM. Dolphin browser usage. About an hour of total usage was over 4G
No task managers (well Androids but that doesn't count), no juice defender.

After all that it has been sitting at 3% for 20 minutes (after taking the ss) with no usage as I wait for it to finally die and write this post. Just over 5hrs straight of near pure 3g/4g data usage over various applications and multimedia is perfectly acceptable to me. This is WAY longer than the average consumer laptop would get under similar usage w/ an aircard.
If I didn't use the phone like a miniature laptop so heavily and just kept it to normal use and some phone calls with auto brightness on I'd guesstimate I'd easily get 10 hours or so if not a lot longer out of it.
Running: Andromeda Galaxy Rom 1.0.3
the reason your getting bad battery life is because it reset all your battery stats. it's going to take a couple days til your battery life gets better. try the bump charging method.

Crazy Android OS CPU usage

I am getting crazy CPU usage from Android OS, which is currently sitting at 52% battery usage. The CPU time of Android OS is between 20 and 30 minutes per hour! I have tried freezing many apps, I have tried task killers, rebooting etc. I have WKE7 firmware.
android os does use more than the rest, unsure why, but somehow the battery ife is still pretty good
http://goo.gl/cyd1T
KE7 (stock kernel) , full sync on google stuff + 1 email on push + auto brightness + about 1H of display on time on this, 1d20min and 68% left.
sent 3-4 sms and did a bit of various stuff since yesterday.
Seen worse lol
I would be very happy with that kind of batterylife. Sadly, my phone loses about 35% battery while I'm sleeping. With medium usage, I would usually reach 12 hours of battery.
i rate my battery life to smth like "amazing" xD

Yes for me battery life on sgs2 is also very nice - I'm comparing to sgs and it is about 20% better. My heavy usage today was 5 hours of screen on with wifi, some gps, 2h of gaming, skype running for about 3h, and battery run for total 9h. Also I use 2 push email accounts and sync is on. I think thats really good. And typically when I sleep in 8h battery is drained for about 8% with all email and google syncs active. So this is also quite good. All that on KE7. Most of samsung bloatware frozen.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Been trying to keep away from these battery threads, but noticed today that I've gone from android system 12% to 30% and I've no idea why.
Still on KE2, and am probably a "light user" - black wallpaper, brightness 20%, screen timeout 2 minutes, some phonecalls, lots of SMS, music - lots of Poweramp - shown a few photos, occasional wifi, GPS ca. 30 minutes per day, don't sync, don't use my carrier's dataplan, no e-mail as yet, and no Facebook/Twitter/games/Social hub/accuweather etc ever - in fact they were uninstalled on day 1.
Got 36 hours from my last charge, am now on 79% after 16 hours. Still happy with it, but no idea what has caused this spike.... Will keep an eye on it.
My $0.02 worth.
I am really starting to wonder why some people have amazing batterylife, while others are having terrible battery life. I would be very happy with 18 hours with 4 hours of screen usage, but instead I am barely scratching 12, today has been even worse. 10 hours with 3 hours screen usage...
So far mine is 2hr 15 mins screen on time, mostly browsing on 3G, 13 hours on battery, and have 29% remaining. Its OK, but I wouldn't describe it as amazing. Roll on 2.3.4
the thing is on android battery life largely depend on apps and setup anyway
Yeh, I know. But I feel like I have optimized my setup as much as I can. No autosynching, email check every 2 hours, facebook, twitter and RSS updates ever 4 hours. No GPS, automatic screen brightness, wifi sleep on. No widgets pulling real time info.
mine has the stock weather widget and animated background - also wifi always on (that prolly actually helps ..)
also i used some gps,played short videos, youtube, recorded some vids and took a few pics (you can see i used it more heavily today in the graph)
im supposing a lot of this goes as android system (bug?) cuz its certainly intensive and isnt in the list (not even lower)

Get rid of the auto screen brightness. I find brightness of 10% makes a huge difference. This samsung screen might look great but in fact it's practically useless as it drinks power
with ke7 as u can see auto brightness doesn't seem an issue for me anymore
i like it because i don't need to set the brightness in sunlight when it's auto hehe
What is your CPU time on Android OS vs. total battery time? Right now my phone has been on for 2 hours and 14 minutes, and CPU time in Android OS is 43 minutes!
If you've read through the majority of these threads, what's weird is that some of you that have uninstalled and/or frozen specific apps are getting worse battery times than those of us that are bone stock and have everything whirring in the background. As an example I use Wi-Fi a lot and also Kies Air and connect to a Blu-ray player using Wi-Fi Direct. The Wi-Fi Sharing app never appears in my running apps after I turn Wi-Fi off. Yet some of you with tweaks that don't use Wi-Fi have it randomly appearing and eating up CPU time.
I've kept up with this thread and other battery threads and for every "ah-ha!" moment there's a post following it showing worsening or no improvement. Somewhere in one of the three battery threads there were some tweets from Google acknowledging the problem in running 2.3.3. with dual-core processors. I think other than for the mad scientist fun factor we're just beating a dead horse and 2.3.4. is going to have to be our salvation. There's not even any assurance that a cooked ROM sans all the Samsung tweaks would work any better if the issue really is a core-OS problem.
Back to our ongoing debate...

Horrible Battery Life, I've tried everything

I can't figure out what's going on with my T-Mo Note 4. I have about a hard limit of 2-2.5 hours of SoT (auto brightness, all in doors) before hitting critical battery levels. I've tried numerous factory resets, including odin restores. Then I tried all the greenifiy/amplify options but that didn't make any difference. I am currently only running a bare minimum subset of apps to troubleshoot the issue. The wakelocks aren't bad, but not great either. Over night I'll lose about 10% battery. But actual screen usage is what murders it. I even bought a set of new batteries thinking mine was a dud, but my usage on those is identical. I'm not even doing demanding stuff on it, just light web browsing, and non 3D type apps.
Currently I'm running the X-Note 3 ROM with the latest AEL kernel, battery life is the same on it.

also, what apps do you use mostly when screen is on
How's your signal? From what it sounds you may have a bad signal which is causing your phone to lose battery life. My phone drains pretty bad at work since I have a bad signal. I started turning off my data and battery life is better now.
I'll get some screen shots tonight, just popped a fresh battery in. My signal is all green on the graph from when I have done previous troubleshooting though.
should use stock. no stock ROMs have all sorts of weirdness.

The other day I had Deezer music app keeping my phone awake constantly. Just now i've checked battery and google services framework has kept my phone awake 4.5 hours since I unplugged it.
Very strange goings on on this phone. Still getting 5-6 hours or so screen time and a full day, but things like this surely have an impact.
Here's my 2 cents:
In the battery usage page under settings, tap the graph. If you are using an SD card AND your phone is awake while the screen is off (and you aren't playing music or something), then do this:
Back up any important data from your external SD card to a computer (movies, music, photos, etc).
Go to settings/storage and format your external sd.
Then copy all your files back.
This may fix the Awake issue. MAY.
My phone was staying awake 100% of the time with only about 2hrs of SOT. Battery was draining fast because the phone was never going into deep sleep. I noticed that when I removed my external sd, my phone suddenly began to sleep. So I did what I said (which was a trick from my S2 days on ICS) and it then made my phone sleep properly.

Hi , Sorry to hear the battery issue you have been having. I have been experiencing the same issues as well, as I only could manage a miserable 2 hrs SOT from the almighty note 4. I was fed up and looked into it the issue and adjusted some settings and stopped some services and now I have over 4hr. SOT . I have changed the following :
Disabled the location services
Disabled all the bloatware esp some of the Google services i.e.. Google Music, Google Plus & Google Play Movies (and any other Google services that are not required)
Bluetooth Off
Screen is at roughly 40% brightness ( I do not use auto brightness as it sometimes max's the brightness for no reason)
Try the above and you may have a phone that works as its supposed to.
As with the SD card I think that is your culprit. Look in the battery stats for "media server" or "samsungindex". These are processes that search for files in the SD card and cache them. So in order to fix that google has the answer but the basic principle is that you have to delete that corrupt file which these processes are searching for... hence why google lost faith in the sd card and why iphones don't have them coz of these problems..
Turn off sync and mobile data some apps in the background keep on syncing hence the drain combined with your mobile data makes it like bacon and eggs, if all else fails you may have a faulty phone, have it replaced. Good luck!

Moto X 1st Gen Battery issue.

I've been experiencing serious battery drain lately.
Lasts around 6 hours tops.
Check out the stats. Anyone know how to prevent this?
Drain is almost 3:40 min / 1% discharge.

Check if your phone turns off the display after the display timeout. I have seen this happen in Moto X sometimes.. It just stays awake. Restart fixes it.
How about brightness? Set it in Auto Brightness mode. Check your Settings->Display page and check all the fields. Apart from that Screen taking 38% is surprising.

I've been having the same problem. I updated a bunch of apps yesterday, (mostly Google apps) and it the battery seems to be better today. It may be too early to tell, but I'm hoping it was one of the Google apps that draining the battery and that it was corrected with the update.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who's battery suddenly got a lot worse. I thought it was Snapchat since I had started using it recently, but the battery usage page doesn't reflect that.
One thing to check is the awake time. If you notice that your device seems to be awake all the time, I'm willing to bet that it has to do with google play services.
If rooted, there is an easy fix via gservices app on market.

I'm having the same issue. Really only getting about an hour of screen time these days. When I first got the phone it was 2+ hours. Mostly use WiFi vs cellular for data, which I thought should be more battery friendly. I make sure I don't have apps running... I'm thinking maybe my battery has just been getting weaker over time.
Here's a good read on battery wear http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries
If you charge once a day like everyone the battery decreases by 15% after a year.

Brightness is already set to auto. Also, I've check the settings and display page. Its as it should. I wiped out cache partition and it improved a little. Though I didn't saw significant change by doing that. It still runs for max 6-7 hours. That's it.

Doesn't actually do anything. People need to stop facilitating this dumb myth.
Google said:
This file [batterystats.bin] is used to maintain, across reboots, low-level data about the kinds of operations the device and your apps are doing between battery changes. That is, it is solely used to compute the blame for battery usage shown in the "Battery Use" UI in settings. That is, it has deeply significant things like "app X held a wake lock for 2 minutes" and "the screen was on at 60% brightness for 10 minutes."
It has no impact on the current battery level shown to you. It has no impact on your battery life.

May be u need to calibrate your battery. Try to put the phone in charge and let it reach 100% and post that dont remove the charger for 4-5 hours. This is a method to calibrate. Try this and lets see if it helps.
And, I see that you are in H+.. Try using your phone in 2G for a day and observe the battery patterns.
You should clean battery stats from recovery.. Have you tried this?
Mine will drain fast but then it will sit at 1% for several hours before finally shutting off. I have not found a fix and it's been going on for a few months now.

u let the battery die out then recharge to full without switching it on. Once complete boot the phone and when booting is complete then remove the charging cable.

[RESEARCH] Zenfone 5 1.2Ghz Screen On Time

As the title said, I'm gathering some information about screen on time (SOT) of Zenfone 5 1.2Ghz (from 100 to 1-5 percent)
I want to see how my battery is after years by how much time it can handle now. Hope you guys help me.
In comment section, please including your SOT plus:
- What rom are you using? (Kernel version if can)
- Most used network: Wifi or Cellular
- Network setting: Always on or Never (Manually)
- App ram usage (Running Service in Setting/Battery or Develop Options)
Thats all I want to know for now.
Thanks!
Using stock rom Kitkat newest version, cause it uses much less battery!
I mostly use more of the Wi-Fi on always on
what is mostly using my ram is the screen ( brightness) and android
I will send more information about RAM usage later, my phone is recharging
Using 1.6ghz variant.
rom- resurrection remix nougat. but channging of roms didnt had any great impact
only wifi always on.
ram- 40-50% or below free.
sot i get varies from 2hr- 3hrs. only texting and light stuff gives around 2hr 40mins.
im using latest kitkat on my 3 years old zenfone 5 single sim variant.
this one with 100% cpu usage all time + [ full screen brightness+ bluetooth + wifi+ gps on ] from 100% to 5%;

How long screen on time did you get? That's quite impressive battery graph with wifi and gps always on.

Screen was always on in both tests. i used battery drain app to make screen always on with full brightness and wifi in second test and i get 3h45m screen time.
in first test i pushed cpu 100% and activated all gps/bluetooth/wifi etc and i get 1h53m screen time. but phone was really overheated and i scare to do it again (it was burning my hand)
actually i was shocked myself when i saw 4 h screen time when i used my phone to only read ebook all day in home with half brightness and i decided to test my phone. Results were amazing i agree, i hope it keeps that way for one more year.
i tested overnight battery usage and it dropped to 85% from 100% within 7 hours with wireless open while android sleep. i guess it might be better to close all network overnights

I wish I still kept the screenshot on Mashmallow to show you.
wireless is not the reason but the google play service. After disable a list of unneeded services, I let wireless enable all the time, gmail and other notification still can be recieved and battery drained 1% per hour (screen off). For specifically, after 6 hours over night, it will drain 6%.
screen on time is normally 3 hours but of course I have to tweak a lot to get this result. If not, battery just drains like hell.

i tried to close wifi yesterday , as you mentioned it does not effect the drain.
3 hours sot on marshmallow is great but unfortunately i cant use custom roms cuz i need Gps occasionaly and my simcard often keep loosing signal on thoose . i am considering to get a xiaomi mi or redmi phone by next year but until that i had to use asus zf5 with kitkat 4.4.2 and 3-3.5 sot is best i can wish for.
