Screen on time

[Falaysia]

My fathers cousin has the s8 and he gets around 6 to 9 hours...

 

[Accerty]

I usually at 5h , maybe it will continue to grow

So I have G955FD with 128Gb of internal storage and 6Gb of RAM. I usually get 4hrs of SOT. I see people getting 8hrs of SOT. I tried installing a dark theme, but it didn't change anything. How do people get such a good SOT? Is that because of custom ROMs?

Hi, mate.
No need for custom rooms, we just have to test and learn how the device works, and optimise it.
I change from s8 to s8+, my first plus i don't know why but had some battery issues and i change it for a new one, and now its better than normal s8,
S8 plus give me more 1h30h more less than normal s8.
This means, s8, average 6h, s8 plus 7.3h sot.
But, there is a lot of options, and apps we don't use that can be disable.
Put to always sleep the apps you don't need notifications, and leave only that use more like, social media.
Usually instagram drain more than the others.
There is a few more.

I've already put to sleep most of the apps and I don't use AOD. Even turned off location and bixby using bk package. But still your s8+ gives you 7.3hrs SOT, mine gives 4

Its strange, i use bk disabler too, i disabled most of the things was always running, like bixby, AOD, and edge screen and a few more.

I don't know what happened with my phone, but today I got 6hrs of SOT and I have 40% battery left. I heard people saying that it takes time for this for phone to adapt to your battery usage, it's kinda strange tho
Can you also tell me which services did you disable? Just wanna know which are safe to disable

I'm 100% stock. No root. No TWRP. Just Nova Launcher and a black theme. And mobile data IS enabled 100% of the time as well

Does any of you NOT get these screen on times? Lately I've been struggling to get 4 hours of SOT in under a day of use. AOD, wifi and lte on during the day for 12 hours. 90% chrome, whatsapp and slack usage. Black theme on, location off.

Battery life is super awesome.

I easily get 10hrs+ Screen On Time every day.

Even with heavy usage it is achieved, I went full powersave though so sometimes I even reach 12hrs

You could put some screenshots for we see your usage,
And please share your settings.

I was planning to but the battery was at 64% the time I wrote the post

However I have now made some screenshots:

My usage:
-Powersaving always on, tweaked it for max battery save (medium one)
-Wifi/4G always on, GPS rarely used
-Heavy usage of Whatsapp, Instagram, Slide for Reddit, Youtube and Music is also always on, Discord, Gmail, Display rarely off

The secret :
-Powersaving always on, tweaked it for max battery save eg. HD+ (medium one), doesn't matter if you enable AOD or not as it consumes very little
-Rooted phone so I can remove all the bloatware aka Knox, Dex, Samsung store and all related apps,
-Pixel Filter app on Google Play store. This is awesome and 100% works by disabling pixels on Amoled displays
-Magisk installed with module "Enable Doze for GMS" to put Google Play Services in Doze too¨
-Black everything. I use GBWhatsapp so I downloaded a black theme, set black backgroundpic to lock and homescreen,

That's all

EDIT: Just realized I could download a black theme for more powersaving.

Thanks for the reply,
With root we can get a little more,
But i think you are extremely optimising your phone, and not using the best the phone can offer.
I never used power saving, i use always QHD, for this price phone i want the best screen, i see lot of videos and some movies.and no airplane mode..
I only have a black theme, some apps disabled and settings, and with wifi i can get 8h to9h and if i see a lot of video goes to 10,h.
And in 4G with high brightness during the day 6 to 7h.
This battery its not that bad.

Samsung S8 large size and high clarity screen give us so much joy on vision

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Samsung Galaxy S8+ before depleting the battery.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

Samsung S8+ is large size model screen smart phone. As a big fan of movie and online video, I spend most of my leisure on watching videos with my Samsung S8+. But on the other side, the display screen of a cellphone is sensitive and easy to broke. I would get my phone a protected case an a holder, and will take good measures to protect my Samsung S8 screen.
