already put most apps to sleep.....

With Google services drain battery, you should do a factory reset then just remove app by app and see if it works.

From my experience, the things drain and heat up your phone, are not 3rd party app, which are system/samsung apps and services.
So what you should do, besides put 3rd party app into sleeps, is find out which package really runs in background and remove if you don't have a need to use it.
Remove a lot of packages may makes the phone heat-up and and drain battery, because some necessary apps/services are missing.

For me, what you should remove are:
- bixby assistant, voice wake-up
- samsung text to speech
- google voice/search
- samsung share feature like: link sharing, quick share
- digital wellbeing and device security
- nearby device scanning
- samsung customization services
- all samsung location services
- android system intelligence
- smarthings, smartswitch
- edge bar
- emergency feature (which useless)
- some knox services because them (maybe) send your data usage to samsung
- galaxy wearable, if you don't have smartwatch or earbuds
- secure folder, if you want

They are things which usually run in background, remove another apps (packages) doesn't help much to save battery.

i got performance profile via updated/latest device care app = this profile refers to the adb shell settings put global sem_low_heat_mode or if you have the Setedit app its faster to look up into it under global table where 0 = standard profile and 1 = light profile

you can even toggle it via quick settings or add it manually=>> custom(com.samsung.android.lool/com.samsung.android.sm.perfopt.PerfOptTile)
in the sysui_qs_tiles under secure table


furthermore, i found that in secure table there is a line that is refresh_rate_mode values can be 0 = standard, 1 = adaptive, 2 = high
this is connected to the motion smoothness settings in display and it is connected to the last digit of sem_power_mode_refresh_rate

You have a fold, it's available for all Z series

 

[Hamid Chikh]

wouldnt get rid of oneui launch solves the drain? or are you saying the drain of the other apps are high aswell

Yes, but will also disable gestures

 

[Hamid Chikh]

Can anyone tell what the factory setting of this parameter in the S22 Ultra?

Just delete it, there's no default value

 

[Hamid Chikh]

I'm having A LOT of frame drops, i'm starting to think it's an S22 thing, or maybe Exynos ? Or is it like i first thought a Software issue with the "adaptive" refresh rate algorithm ?

 

[antrekov]

Just delete it, there's no default value

Sorry for my repeat, but I can't figure out how to delete it. I used the command "adb shell settings put system min_refresh_rate 60.0" to set the minimum refresh rate to 60Hz. What should I do to return the min refresh rate to the factory value?

adb shell settings delete system min_refresh_rate

I just overall think its a software issue. It's a S21 Ultra issue as well. I honestly don't think Samsung is able to fix the adaptive refresh rate within the software. This problem runs across all if not most Galaxy devices. I got a bad feeling this issue will be present on the S23 when it's released.

 

[dominicstg2]

Yes, but will also disable gestures

Use third party gestures ? Or would that be more battery drain?

@nokia_16 Before you decide to do a factory reset have you try to :

- Go to settings > about phone > software information > Google Play system update .
Because sometimes they're not updating itself
- Download Play Service Info from Play Store > open the app to check if there is any update
- keep the Play Service up to date but uninstall the updates from Android System Webview , use the factory version , the last version on the Play Store have some bugs
- Remove & Re-add your Google account , because sometimes they failed to Sync properly
- Go to Settings > Privacy > Android Personalization Service OFF , this is related to Android Systen Intelligence app
- Go to Settings > Google > Manage your Google account & Turn off High contrast colors settings , Turn off location sharing , Check your apps and service connected to you account , Delete Google services you no longer use , Turn off your Web & Apps activity , Turn off activity from areas where you've used Google , Turn off location history

In the attached file , picture that i take from running service , take a look at my Samsung Keyboard & Android service library , that is how long my phone has been used since the last reboot and take a look at Play Service , it's barely running in the background because i don't use much of their services & always turn my location off when its not in use .

Sync , Location , and Background Services are more likely to causes the battery drain from Google Play Service rather than some installed apps.
Or it might be because of software updates & Android 13 stuffs that causing the issue , in Samsung official community S21 & S22 users are complaining of higher battery drain after Android 13 updates .
And if it is indeed because of the updates and the OS i doubt factory reset would solve the issue .
That is why i don't update my OS yet , from my personal experience when samsung says the update is stable , no it is not , that is why when people complains they always said "wait for the next update" , they need to do the update to optimize the "stable" version for at least 2-3 times to make it really stable (from my personal experience)

 

[caingatcarl]

I'm sorry , it is kept system apps , thanks for the reminder.

Your list is kinda confusing. Inside the txt file it says
UNINSTALLED SYSTEM APPS yet the file name says INSTALLED SYSTEM APPS

 

[OktaviAnabelle]

@caingatcarl It is installed system apps that i kept on my phone , forgot to rename the UNINSTALLED TO INSTALLED , really sorry.

Full Factory wipe x2 + Optimizations does not fix battery drain, it's a waste of time. It's amazing too me nobody here complained about battery drainage during their initial beta testing. So as far as we are all concerned the latest stable version is not so stable at all according to all the complaints so far. Sounds like another fantastic rush can't wait for Android 14 and go through the same process and headache. We have done all we can do while keeping Factory stock without using a custom rom.

You have to wait for 2 weeks or so after a factory reset for your phone to adjust. It is completely normal that the battery is bad at the beginning
