Question S22 battery life vs 5yo device (HTC U11, new battery).

[lolwatpear]

Just curious why you say that? It can go up to 120... Why couldn't it be limited to 96?

96 doesn't work. Enable fps in dev settings to check. It goes straight to 60hz. You're right, there's no reason why it shouldnt and it probably has to do with Samsung shenanigans.

 

[lolwatpear]

Do you know if one can fix the refresh rate to constant 96 without it checking continuously for activity in the adaptive mode? I.e. _not_ setting min and max refresh rate to 96 but just change the 60 to 96 in the constant mode?

I want to try if thst is actually more efficient than 60-96 adaptive since it doesn't have to constantly check the activity.

Anything between 60 to 120hz cannot be attained. I've tried every adb command/refresh rate app out. Hz lower than 60hz works, ie 1hz, 10hz, etc, but if I set it to 96hz it just stays at 60hz. But feel free to prove me wrong and show me a screen shot of the fps counter enabled had it showing 96hz.

Well actually I can force 96 Hz with the app by setting min fps and max fps to 96, but this is still in adaptive mode so I think it drains more battery than necessary because it probably keeps on checking for activity.

I am hardly getting 10 to 12 hours of battery life with a max of 3hrs of SOT. My phone was heavily draining the battery and getting heated up on normal scrolling or 5 mins of Camera app. Submitted my phone to Samsung Service center, they will factory reset and try and observe the phone for a day. Lets see what they get back with.


I did back up using Samsung Smart Switch from OnePlus 5T to Samsung S22 - 256gb, didnt realise that the app would be an issue. So what is the alternate method to backup then?
Below is the battery usages at different points of time. I doubt you guys are getting similar approx 12hours of max battery usages.

I am really concerned with such battery performances. Please do share your inputs.

I just restored each app individually. Some people have used Smart Switch and then used the "Reset All Settings" function to get normal battery life.

Can you please share what is the battery life that you are getting on normal days and Screen on Time? I am really concerned with the battery life. Have never gone past 12 or 13 hours with hardly around 3 to 3.5 hours of SOT.

Similar here, to push sot you can castrate it to iPhone level (ie fixed 60hz, no always on display), but the standby drain to get overall long times seems harder to keep in check. My guess it's a matter of software, literally overpowered soc and poor antennas / mobile data. At least on my exynos I have noticeably worse reception which would explain my poor battery life.
I ordered a used iPhone 13 to compare.

my current observations have been ..it drains from 100 to 85 in a matter of mins, then stabilises itself till 20% with some sustained usage and then just wipes off the last 20% in a flash.

I also observed this last night when i switched off mobile data to preserve battery at 10%, the battery sustained for next couple hours without any usage.

I have the same problem. And yet the phone turns off at about 5-8%

For me, the battery life on my S22 is good as I charge my phone fully once a day in the morning and use it till I go to bed. After using S22 it was about 25% when I went to bed as my usual timing is 11 pm! this is when I use it more than average but for average use, I have about 35% of battery at night! I use my phone for calls, gaming, social media, and Youtube. Overall the battery life is good!!!

Can you share the screenshot of the battery life and the Screen on Time?

Exynos version? I do not believe.

I just bought the QC variant after I returned the Exynoss one. Now I have an SOT between 5-6 hours and in the evening i still have 20-25% battery life.
Everything seems snappier and I`m happy with the purchase.
PS: it is HK version, not US.

I definitely ordered the snapdragon version from wondamobile.

Where did you buy ?

I have had the S22 for 3 days now. After debloating and turning off nearly everything in the background that I don't need, I think a full day will be no problem. I was worried as the battery seemed small versus the larger phones.

If you don't "fiddle" with your phone and run this right from the box I think you will struggle to last the entire day. There is a lot of crap on the phone running. There are so many hidden settings. So many apps trying to run in the background. Trying to connect/search for other devices.
I am coming from a 3 year old Huawei P30 Pro with Emui 10 and I find this software terrible (even compare to Emui! )

I used ADB AppControl to debloated. Great software. Very easy.

care to share your appcontrol debloat list ? thank you

 

[NisseGurra]

care to share your appcontrol debloat list ? thank you

My rather extreme uninstalled list (300+ apps removed...)

 

[xjust]

Thank you NisseGurra.
I remember you are also on exynos with the wifi bug.
What is your standby drain with this debloat (with wifi off of course) ?

 

[NisseGurra]

Some 0.8% / h with 2 sims. I just sent back the exynos and waiting for an HK s22, snapdragon.

 

[xjust]

Ok. Not much difference from stock with gps off.
I wouldn't buy samsung anymore if I could send this back

 

[xjust]

I was looking through your debloat list. Administrative privileges for apps still work with all of the knox stuff disabled ?
