Wouldn't disabling all that prevent everyday functions from working? I've kept it safe for now as i have the app installed and have disabled bixby, svoice and just some random bloatware. What's your experience?

Importantly how's battery life

That is an extreme list that disables many everyday functions so I guess it's what you want, a little more battery or a phone with most of its features killed off.

Exynos S9

Used for 1 week
Disabled Bixby, Facebook
WQHD
Power saving mode off
AOD off
Max SOT 3.5 hours
3 times factory reset still no luck

Should I send my phone back to SAMSUNG for replacement?

 

[hosam_sy]

everythink good

Mines getting worse now, just had another main update and I can barely get 4h sot was getting 5-6 hours when I first got the phone.

Getting sick of it now tbf

Most people are getting a lot better battery life with the June update, I know I am


Maybe switch from Tesco branded firmware (If that's what you're running) to another like BTU or XEU


If already on another one, backup and reset

 

[BackDaws]

I've just factory restarted again, something wasn't right, the phone felt sluggish as well, I shall report back and let you know how battery life is in a few days.

I've been thinking, does always on display get added to screen on time ?

no it shouldn't otherwise it would be ridiculously high

It was worth asking lol, thanks

I have the problem that the battery standby and the system standby drain the battery very hard. The most time the have the same drain as the screen on time battery use. Is this normal?
I have disabled a lot of Samsung bloatware. But only the normal list for the bloatware disabler pro from xda. Not like the list some post before. I think I disabled 90 apps of the 120 apps.
Have someone an idear for that!?
My config:
black darkground
black theme
medium energy saving modus on (but everything disabled, only the app communications are allowed. And I think that gives me 1 hour more. Of course the medium energy saving is disabled with this settings but it helps I don't now why. )
most apps have an dark background
Package disabler pro plus (I post my XML file)

If you're not using the phone much then idle/system will be the highest drain

Screen will always be the highest unless you never turn it on
