Question S21 Ultra SOT (screen-on-time)?

[sswagonman]

I've done a factory reset after today's awful Battery drain. No smart switch restore so let's see if it improves. Started since the Feb update. I have very good Battery life on the January patch.

Did u restore anything from Samsung account backup?

That's more like it! That's what I'd expect from a big 5Ah phone battery.

I got my device 2 days ago and my first cycle was yesterday where I started the day att 7 am and ended roughly 01 am. I had 15% battery left and got around 7h 55min SOT in my first cycle. AOD, location etc on. Also have adaptiv battery and adaptiv motion with FHD resolution.
As days will pass i think battery will improve further. Today I will test without Aod. I am very satisfied so far.

Quick notice that this device gives me crap cellular connectivity. I have ordered a new SIM card, hopefully that will fix it. I dont know if any of you have had the same issue or not.

Has anyone got a day of battery life with HIGH USAGE OF CAMERA ?

i get around 7hrs of SOT in normal usage (after lots of optimizations and updates) but whenever i start to use the camera i can see that battery deplets way faster than usual

can anyone get around 7~8hrs of SOT with taking high amount of pictures / recording vids?

I'm on AUB9 in 512/16Gb Exynos Variant !

Crazy to see what you guys are getting battery life wise. Today I got 22hrs run time with 5.5hrs screen on time. Thought that was alright but seeing 7+ hours and over 26 hours, seems mine is under performing. I have the SD variant. Seems also that the exynos is back. Much better battery life overall than the snapdragon. I just Uninstalled smart things and put a bunch of apps to sleep. The apps I use on a daily basis, like Instagram, Facebook, snapchat, Chrome and YouTube Vanced are still not put to sleep.

Any updates? Snapdragon T-mobile here. Came over the forums to see if battery life could be better as this phone has a massive battery and was barely outpacing my S10. Looking into what to do with mine and seeing if a factory reset and no smart things restore would do the trick

I've got the Exynos version and have been super happy so far. Actually I can't believe how little the battery drains when watching videos. A 45 minute Netflix episode in QHD drains about 4%. I always run QHD and adaptive refresh. This is my latest SOT with 7% battery left.

Which firmware you are on?

I'm seeing terrible values, never get more than 18h out of my phone with 2h SoT.
Got in contact with Samsung, they say it's a known issue and to be resolved in an upcoming update.
Yeah, sure...

Snapdragon S21 Ultra

Mixed usage between 4G & Wifi

It can easy get 6-7 hours of SoT with heavy usage..

QHD+Adaptive 120hz

For now
53% left of Battery life
3.56h SoT
18.42.h since last charge

No optimization at all, everything is on by default.

Hi guys, my battery drain is terrible, averaging around 4 hours SOT and that's without playing games... any ideas?

Running FHD, adaptive brightness and 120hz adaptive..

Thanks!

I'm at 9 odd hrs SoT, but i have debloated a bit, 5g off (eats battery looking for 5g) also data off as I'm in WiFi zone 95% of the time, most apps i don't use often are in deep sleep. Adaptive refresh rate, very happy, coming from now 20 Ultra (which i loved) but the battery was at least 30% worse in terms of SoT and standby times.

did you debloat it using adb or twrp?

I used this tool (ADB) https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...app-manager-debloat-tool-for-android.4147837/

Any tips? Mines been bad lately and factory reset did nothing.

I debloated a bit, don't have 5g activated (eats battery looking for 5g), only have WiFi on not data unless not in wi-fi area. Went through apps list (including system apps) and disabled background data and battery usage, also put apps i don't need it use into deep sleep or sleep mode. That helped quite a bit.
