Screen on time

[jclu52]

60Hz, Airplane Mode, WiFi on, BT on, power saving mode on, adaptive brightness:

AccuBattery estimates 12h 20m SOT
GSam estimates 9h 36m SOT

Power Saving Mode was on by accident. I can't remember when or how it was turned on either

Hello! Just I buy this phone s20 FE 5G... For the moment, I do not see ghost touch and the battery are very good. Stil on Android 10. I do not update to 11.
My question : What do you recommended? To stay in Android 10 OneUi 2.5 or to update to Android 11 OneUi 3.1?
... I am afraid about battery. Some people say: more battery drain on Android 11.
Thank you!

EDIT!

I updated. The battery drain more in standby.
... With power save function and 120hz activated, I get 8-9 hours SOT
from 100% at 7AM to 3% at 11:45 PM

P.S. in OneUi 3.1 you can activate 120hz on powersave only with the app: "Galaxy Max Hz." Nedd acces ADB ..... ( NO ROOT NEED )

Galaxy Max Hz.

activate usb debug on developer mode
connect to PC and enter this commands:

adb shell echo success
adb shell pm grant com.tribalfs.gmh android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
adb kill-server
diconect phone from PC

In the end, deactivate usb debug on developer mode. (it is for your safety)
Done!

Hello everyone.

I find that the battery does not hold very much do you have any tips?
I am generally in 120Hz mode day by day and night by night.
the trick of economic mode with 120Hz seems good but it's a shame to restrict the processor to 70% and not to use with all its power isn't it?

(5G version).

thank you.

HI ,
My battery on s20 FE Exynos is crap. Not more than 4 hours. Biggest drainer is Google Play services. I tried many different tips on youtube or online. Is working for some days and returns the probleam.

Have you find a solution?

Regards.

i buy the s20 plus exynos version last year, used it for 3 months and sold it to buy the s20 fe 5g snapdragon. The performance and battery life is 100% difference ! Exynos has been crap since s8 ! Now with s20 FE 5g i got 6-7 hours of sot , (cellular, wifi, location, bluetooth &120hz enabled) !

I get 5hours max of SOT on exynos with :
60HZ
power save ON
Auto brightness - OFF {they use camera as light sensor so it added 1hour of SOT}
Allways on - OFF
NO games or anything, just whatsapp, Messager and chrome.

I was used to xiaomi note 8 pro which did like 8 hours minimal imagine my surprise

According to GSam the biggest consumers are android system and android core. I believe that samsungs crapware is gonna have something to do with that, although I used https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/clean-os-4-rom-stock-based-rom-exynos-snap4g-snap5g.4386251/ ADB debloat script

I'm waiting patiently for Lineage OS .....

And the phone is like 5 months old...
Let's see what oneUi 4 does
[UPDATE] ONEUI4 gave me 1hour SOT+

After update to Android 12 on my S20 FE 5G (SD version) I get really bad SOT, ~6 hrs max from full charge to empty with 120Hz and a lot of gaming. Before I used to have ~8 hrs. Also 'super fast' charging got really slow all of a sudden. Something got really screwed in the latest update.

Bluetooth,wifi,sync all off
Data turned on only when I used app.
23 to 17 overnight in airplane mode.

even after the UI 4.1 update from today the battery and charging issues are not fixed. really don't understand why they wouldn't fix issues many users have reported on their official forums.

Yes, as I wrote previously, after the Android 12 update the phone battery lasts much less than before, mainly during gaming sessions etc. in addition when charging using 'super fast charging' I get longer charging times than I used to get before the update. it is even comparable to regular 'fast charging' , ~1hr10mins to charge from around 20% to 100%.
Overall, I do recommend this device, as it is very good value for money, but only if you get the SD865 model, and if you can, try to avoid the android 12 update.
