Hello

When you guys say no backup, just manual installs, does that mean i shouldn't let Android reinstall my apps when prompted in the setup phase after a factory reset from the recovery?

I'm not rooted (don't plan to)

Thanks in advance (1h12 minutes of sot per 80% battery usage, Facebook and bixby stuff are disabled), double tap to wake is disabled, AOD is always on

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.
The main problem is the mobile data... I saw this on my phone since a month.

When on WiFi - 6 to 7 hrs of screen on time
When on mobile data - 3 to 4 hrs

This is bad for 4k mAh battery...

I get 5:30+ SOT with 25% left on normal usage ( youtube 1440p 4h , insta snapchat and other social apps )

Also occasionally when i play Pubg , i get 4-5h sot easily which i think is more than enough.

Look what happens with my battery after I turn on mobile data. I't THE WORST phone I've ever had when it comes to battery life. Factory reset did nothing and other tricks mentioned helped only a little bit. I'm seriously considering switching back to my V30.

The phones battery is a joke.

I did the factory reset thing. Never restored from a backup. 20 apps installed. Phone had about 20 battery charges in total.

I rarely get 2 1/2 hours of SOT.

It really is a joke.

May update

I was getting very bad standby drain while my wifi was on.
Battery historian showed me wakelocks and wakeups related to wifi, while mobile data on 3G worked much better.

This may update ASE5, actually has fixed the wifi related standby drain, now I am getting <1% per hour drain.
I completely wiped using odin and started from scratch.

Maybe the ASE5 update will improve standby drain for all of you. :eek::eek:

Hello, I currently have the s10e with exynos, does it really work to restore everything from factory, and not restore backup copies? I'm sorry to use the google translator

It is so frustrating to reset every time when there is a update.

After doing a lot of research and testing and numerous resetting with the Exynos note 9 and the S10 plusI realised it's got nothing to with resetting. It is to do with the Exynos chip or the modem when connected to to a mobile network whether 3G or 4G it doesn't make a difference. It will definitely drain the battery. If your phone is connected to wifi, you will get a good battery life otherwise doesn't matter what you do it will drain. It's 100% to do with the mobile network and it comes under Android system and that's why you will always see high android system usage. This is only on the Exynos ones not in Snapdragon.

Resetting the phone after every software update? How stupid this is! Nobody should be doing this.

I'd rather sell this piece of sh**. If my battery doesn't get better after this latest update, I'll definitely sell this thing and go for OnePlus again. This damn thing costs a lot and it's struggling with the most essential thing for a smartphone, the battery. It's like driving a Ferrari with 50 kilometers maximum range. It's insanely stupid. Feels amateurish.

    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.

    Because my S10 was in repair I switched back to my Huawei P10 with EMUI 9.1 for around 2 weeks.
    I noticed a way better battery life from the first day. The phone is from March 2017 and was my daily driver for nearly exact 2 years until I've got my S10.
    Now I'm back on my Samsung and, man, this sucks. The phone is great but the battery life ist just awful in comparison with a 2 years old device with a smaller battery (3200mAh instead of 3400mAh, not much but it's older).

    I'm using the phone for browsing the web and 9gag, watch some videos and listen to music via BT two times a day when I'm in my car.

    The P10 had around 40-60% drained when I'm getting home from work at 16:00 with my average usage. The S10 lost the same amount when I'm going to lunch at 12:00 and I need to charge it. Very annoying and disappointing, especially because Samsung didn't fix anything since release in March '19.

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