Man, I'm not getting anywhere near the SOT and overall time that I am seeing here by others. I have the Verizon 5G 10+.
Adaptive lighting on
Optimized power setting
Adaptive power not on
That does seem pretty low, and presumably you have the SD version which should have better battery life than the Exynos variant.

This is the best I've achieved so far in the UK, on my EXYNOS Note 10 plus 5G, and looking around the forum, this seems to be around the standard for this model.

Maybe you should check some battery saving threads and apply some of the recommendations, or alternatively get it checked by a Samsung service centre.

Yes I have the SD, I've done about everything I can think of to try to extend my battery life short of crippling the device. I'll be taking it in here in the next day or so to swap it out.

I have At&t verson and used to only get about 4.5 hours of SOT. I recently started using CCSWE and disabled all Bixby actions and am now routinely getting about 6.5 ro 7 hours which, is the best ive had on any device.

ATT Note 10+...
That's awful battery life, your Android System is eating your battery i have never had that so high

Also go to your mobile network, make sure that in red circle is turned off, i have read lots were getting the same issue you have and by disabling what i circled in red fixed the battery drain issue with Android System, also reboot after you disable it.

I have had my Note 10 plus 5G for almost 4 days now just worried about the battery life as I got very less screen on time with it and it constantly drained throughout yesterday when I took it to office.

Now, I could see that my phone was mostly on 5G when I was in office and sometimes it would switch back to 4G.

Battery stats:
Reached 6% in the evening after running for 11h 22m and SOT of only 1h 50m.

Also, I'm not able to attach a screen shot.. everytime I try through the XDA app.. it says "bad request".

Can someone help me on this..

Your problem may be signal strength, if the phone constantly goes from 5g to 4g back and forth, that consumes a lot of battery, try setting for 4G or 3G, and see what happens, this is no solution, but some things are the way they are, so it is better to understand them to take the necesary meassures

Setting on 4G defies the purpose of buying a 5G phone ?
But I'll try that and see if there's a difference.. Thanks..

Also.. can you help me in uploading a screenshot, it says "bad request" everytime I try to do so.. Screenshot may tell if there's any weird thing happening..

There is a setting to automatically optimize battery consumption and it is truly effective but disabled by default at least for me. Try to activate it maybe.

I also have 5g version and have been able to reach this longevity.Screenshot_20191030-225237_Settings.jpg

Thanks mate that's an impressive battery life (have you turned on 5G?), also I did activate this setting "adaptive power setting" just now.. hope this does the trick for me or I don't know if this one is a faulty device.

I managed to upload the images, as below:

Image 1 - i.imgur.com/kgJA8ah
This when I was constantly on 5G, with a minimal fluctuation to 4G

Image 2 - i.imgur.com/DRwKyFZ
This is mostly at 4G as there is no coverage of 5G in this area

Seeing others result I think this is very abysmal SOT I am receiving on this device..

I'll also post this on the SOT thread

I had the 5g option enabled for a few hours 3 or 4 max. After that I was in an area without 5g so I deactivated it. Well without reaching this you should have a really decent battery life however.

Maybe also activate night mode and things like that. Displaying dark colors especially black consumes less energy than lighter ones. Also I'm in fhd and I don't have my brightness set really high.

Like you said, I switched to 4G and I had a run time of 1d 6h but only 4 hrs SOT

Now is this average, or should I be worried?
