Battery life is really very insane with 5G Gear4 Watch connected all the Time still 2 Days Battery

I have a feeling that VoLTE causes a considerable battery drain. Can someone please corroborate?

Curious to know if Quick doze mod actually helps increase the standby time? I had bought the app for my S22U and nothing changed. I wanted to know if it works on S23U before I go ahead and buy it again. I am not interested in any other features on the app except the Quick doze. My S23U is already great in battery life so really doubting the effectiveness of this feature. Can you help confirm.
Yes it does. I think it's the same doze mode on s23 as s22. S23u has great battery life because new snapdragon cpu is great at efficency. I had an amazing standby times without that program(I use 2-3 apps in the background constantly) but with those 3 modes (extended quick doze mode, psm activated when screen is off and aod 10hz) I've managed to achieve best standby time on android for me. Previous s21+ with exynos was way worse.
Hi do you have the light profile activated or the performance one when using the phone? And did you also enable adaptive battery?
Hey. I'm using light perfomance profile right now and "adaptive battery" option is enabled too
Light mode, 120hz, fhd+ res, charges to 100% but with a 25w S21+ charger. Basically just YouTube on the background, auto brightness in daylight in the office, some browsing and such. Wifi, 5g, NFC, Bluetooth everything enabled. It's at like 34% here and 10h sot is easily doable.
Does your notifications still come through with all that on? Or is there a delay in them
All my notifications comes in time. Apps which needs notifications are "unrestricted" on my device.

Will give your options a try and see how I get on, after charging my phone to 100% before bed last night I woke up this morning with 2% lost, which is exactly the same as any other night, will see how I get on throughout the weekend
New record for me,the settings is:
For battery is Light,charging in 0 to 100% for 1 hors and 10 minutes,adaptive battery is ON.
Display 120hz,FHD+,automatic lights(60-70%) and nights is dimmed lights.
SIM 5G,Bluetooth is ON(Clock and galaxy buds 2),WI-FI is ON to.

In location services menu turn off all options, Google location accuracy is the biggest play services drain, apart from that go into your apps and put any Google app into deep sleep that you don't need

Do not forget to disable all smart features as well, use it on lowest brightness available, only 2G, lowest resolution available. Or even better buy nokia phone with buttons. You'll be amazed with 1month battery.
Dude seriously your suggestions are out of this world. People are buying smartphones and you are suggesting to not use features/apps that makes this phone "smart"
Are you using camera? Asking because it will drain battery a lot4
38% left and 5hours SOT is pretty good. You can't compare directly your sot to other people. They are not using their phone same as you, they don't have same exact apps inside their phone, they don't live in your area(cellular strength), they don't use same settings as you.3
Depends if you need Google backup, I don't. Disable Google Framework and Backup Transport if you don't use Google backup. Playstore is another I disable and OTA updates.Will try that overnight
What puzzles me is the amount of battery used in "deep sleep"....guess it's not that deep anymore.
And I was happy as a pig in s.. before this update
Google Firebase is another one if you don't use it, all Google/manufacter/app/carrier feedback as well. Even with all the above disabled, temporarily disabling Google play Services will yield another 1% or so an hour SOT.
Note: Gmail is a dependency of Google play Services. Gmaps needs it for some functions.
I don't update or upgrade, this is one reason why.
A fast, stable platform that fulfills its mission is all that matters. When you screw with the firmware you change the playing field for better or all too often worse. Arbitrarily doing updates/upgrades is a losing proposition as far as I'm concerned.
This stock N10+ is still running quit well on Pie; last update was 11.2019, last factory reset was over 3 years ago. No malware since the last reset. Even on an old battery rated at about 3500 mAh it's getting about 10 hours SOT. I like that.
Anything from Android 9* and above is relatively secure unless you do stupid things.
*there was a huge hole in Android 12 (if memory serves me correctly) when first released but they quickly patched it. If it ain't broke don't upgrade it

I don't understand why you paste this long reply (I remember having read it earlier)...
I am just suggesting to check whether GP-services are updated... I've seen several cases of high battery usage by GP-services while it was more than 4-5 months not-updated - for whatever reasons.
My GP-services use less than 0.5% per 24hrs. I have not disabled anything and I use the phone as intended/bought.
I have 2 sim cards (many times in poor reception conditions in outback), mobile data is always on as are BT, WiFi and location. GW4 is always connected. Daily automatic backups are scheduled.
No power saving settings used.
My battery takes me through the day, with 6-8 hours SOT. I charge phone once per day to 85%.
Furthermore, I am not at all interested in stories about the Note 10+. I had the Note 10+ for 2 years, never an issue, then the S21U; those phones are gone and forgotten...6I came searching Xda just to see if anyone noticed the same.
My phone has gone from easy 36 hours usage, to now barely 24 and needing to charge again before I go to bed
Might have known it was only a matter of time before Samsung broke that dream battery life!6it's not a question of fake but if you remove all the options that make your phone called a high end device and you use it as a low end device it's normal that you can hold 150h of screen on time I saw your previous post where you use the energy saver WiFi no gps no social network apart from YouTube. might as well buy a galaxy a52 at 100 euro and you get exactly the same experience as you5
This argument presents a false dilemma fallacy and seems uncharitable, in my opinion. Additionally, it's worth considering that individuals reporting no change or even improvements in battery life may have different setups compared to those reporting a significant decline. Given the numerous variables that can influence battery life, it is entirely plausible that system updates may only adversely affect specific setups.
