General Battery Life

[DefeatedSouls]

Battery is great once it settles down. Max standby is 2.5day, max SOT is 6hours. My typical use of 2.5hr SOT gave 1 day in the beginning: View attachment 5469923
, and after 2 weeks and limiting battery to 85%, it now gives 1.5 day:

Root, 96Hz, permanent BT watches, pushbullet, kdeconnect, VPN, AOD, wakelocks and effects on. Lil car charger bump there, but to me it's on par with previous Note20Ultra. Except now i can fold™ and the screen is finally scratch-free.

What have you done to help improve? Besides root cause my model is Canadian and i can't. I'd love to get back to a good battery life when I had A11.

Most of the time Google Play Services is the problem

Besides root:
- i don't use crapps like facebook, instagram and other permasnitching solutions
- AppOps https://appops.rikka.app/ can limit various activities (like scanning for devices) of crapps w/out root.
- DataSaver on, only give exception to few apps that can connect in the background
- shopping apps like Aliexpress have also background activity off (they're super agressive, they can have exceptions by the manufacturers, they keep changing notification bar icons to keep your attention, they avoid a lot of settings)
- AdGuard can completely cut off internet for some apps when screen is off
- disable auto start of any app that doesn't need to run immediatelly but only on demand (3c all in one toolbox)
I definitely put the apps in their place. And i still run stuff like location tracking, permanent connection to PC and watches, AOD etc. The problem is APPS.
