Awful battery life on Galaxy S10 (Exynos)

[damirnikic]

Hi,

I received my Galaxy s10 a few days and the battery life has been pretty awful since day 1. As seen in the screenshot, I lost 31% battery with 35 minutes of screen on time with no background apps running in the background while idle. Is this just my phone or is this is a known issue because coming from my 2 year old LG G6 it is a significant downgrade in battery life. Any help would be appreciated

Hi,

Simple do a factory default from recovery.

I have had 8 hrs screen on time recently and very happy, factory reset via recovery helped me and never looked back.

Hey Damir, did you try the suggestion?
Any improvement?

Battery on the exynos is sh*t, it is better tho after a couple of the updates. After the latest update battery time on wifi is amazing but still really bad on 4G.

Could you explain what is the theory behind doing this please? I'd like to try it but to justify the hassle of doing it I want to be able to convince myself it's not snake oil. Thanks.

I factory reset it today, I will update the post in a couple of days

Guys before saying that battery on the Exynos is horrible try to rule out the possibilities why this might be happening.

1) You restored from a backup either smart switch or google back up

2) Have you check which software version you have, there was a bug that did not allow the phone to enter into deep sleep. Please update to the latest firmware, there is a thread on XDA that shows you how to do so.

3) You got the phone recently, you need to let the phone learn your usage pattern, first few cycles will be horrible.

4) Do a clean factory reset and do not restore from a backup, install everything manually

5) Do you have the facebook app install, well change it for either Facebook Slim or Facebook web.

6) Use Adhell or adb commands to disable any app you do not need.

No backup restoration, just install manually

The steps to get into recovery are, turn off device and then hold the vol button up, bixby button and power buttons together and then let go when the splash screen starts, I have done this after every update to be sure but not sure if it is needed on every one.

If the s10 exynos can reach 8H sot I will buy one rather than s10+
My 6t is only 7h sot

Update:
This is the battery life I've been getting since the factory reset, no backups restored exclusively on WiFi, quite happy with it, though I haven't had a chance to test it on 4G yet which was my main issue.

Nice!!
I was afraid to see the awful 4.5h sot I used to have with my ex-s8 but 7.5-8h is enough for me.
Not as good as the supposedly 10h of the s10+ but enough.
@damirnikic You have the exynos version?
