Here I played Magic Rampage for 1 hour or so, it was over 30%, I'm using Stock ROM, with Magisk (just the Viper4android module) and Xposed (just the Gravity Box module to customize the Nav Bar) and it's a game extremely lightweight, and burst with the battery.
same here. Gaming not only cause the phone to heat but loose large amounts of battery too. I love this phone but poor battery is what tempting me to switch to some other.
1 hour of pokemon go, and droped 15% of battery...
im always getting 3-4 screen hours in heavy use, so think thats not so bad
stock rom, stock kernel, september security patch

Same stats for me, 3-4 hours screen battery life
I'm running the latest liquid dark rom and this little g⁴plus scoots. Multi tasks well I stream audio from 8am to 6pm every day. GPS on wifi off,lte on, I come home with 30 % battery left and only a quick charge away from topping it off then it snoozes next to me unplugged as a second alarm clock. I have a one plus 3t and it would be in battery saver mode well before the end of my day.

2 hours of clash of clans yielded about 20% drain.
2.5 hours of Minecraft max settings wifi hosting a second player and bluetooth controll used 22%. Im impressed
Handles Pokémon Go incredibly. Played for maybe four hours and still had juice in my battery mod.
Lots of heartstone, Sudoku. Some Super hexagon - cruising the interwebs lololol....show and prove, no extended battery mod, 30 mins with the JBL speakers, no mid day charge and still got juice!
This is from a recalibrated battery charge ( phone off - let it charge to 100 and then leaving it on the charger for 30 more minutes) and does seem to make a difference in really getting a full charge properly.
As I type this - 31% left -8 hours estimate at almost 3 am. Very impressed.

I'm not a heavy user. About an hour to two of screen time per day. I listen to music through the speaker at work. When I plug in at bedtime, I have at least 50% battery left.
light user here too.
SOT is about 2 hours with phone idle the # 1 user of battery. At this rate the phone gets 1 charge per 7 days with 15% left.
On the odd heavy day(s) SOT is over 6 hours. This phone gets the best out of it when used hard and hates sleeping.

Just passed 10 hours of SOT with 34% left in the tank, from 1 day and 6 hours of usage. This phone made you forget when was the last time you charged it.

This phone just leaves other in the dust - when we consider battery life
Don't know what you expect with this question as there is a fine SOT thread for the phone. You get about 10-15 hours screen on time. You have to charge it around ones a week if you use the P2 one hour per day if you switch off messengers, google services, wifi, gps, bluetooth, data and set your screen to very dark auto mode the rest of the time . If you don't use it all you may have to charge it ones a month. I would call myself a light user so I attached the SOT of my current week. As you see with 70% of the energy of the battery I got 9 hours of SOT within one week.
I'm a really light user it seems. I get over a week of use out of one charge on the standard OS. My last phone only gave me 2 days using a light custom rom.
With 1-2 hours spotify per day and aprox 1-2 hours screen on time per day aaaaand 40-100 push messages (fb,whatsapp,discord,skype,messenger and and and) and some gaming 30 to 60 minutes per day, 2 sims active (lte & 3g) + bt (always connected to mii band 2) + nfc my battery lasts at least 3 days! Stock rom, android 7. No services deactivated. This phone is so frkn awesome ^^ have it since one year, going through the upgrade process (a6 to 7), never did a reset. Great device. First phone i'm using for more than 1 year haha

Think twice before upgrading....

I find the stand by drain right on par with my Note 10 Plus. It was fully charged at 7 PM last night and this morning at 6 AM was at 95%. I installed Nap Time by Francisco Franco with a couple of adb commands for the aggressive doze features.
Went to bed last night at 1am at 100% battery. No apps are running, i have a bixby routine that puts the phone into power saving mode while not in use over night. Woke up 7 hours later at 8am and the phone had gone down to 93%, so it has gone down 7% which is 1% percent every hour being lost. Looking at app usage nothing was running in the background this entire time. Had my device for 5 days now so has gone through learning stage. This is ridiculous standby drain, is anyone else having the same issue?
Yes my drain is also bad. Are you guys running Snapdragon or Exynos?
I am Exynos unfortunately.
Can any one try standby drain after installing naptime? Let us know if it helps reduce the drain.
I'm using Naptime and I think it does help with standby drain. it is in the par with note10 at around 6-7% over night.

Can you share your settings? Do you run naptime the entire day or schedule it only at night?

I run it all the timed. Here's a screen of my settings, I don't disable BT on doze as I have my Note connected to my Panasonic home phone.
For me it was much worse, about 3% per hour during sleep! I just deactivated VoLTE calls (and also the 5G just in case) and it's much better all of a sudden! Can you try this, maybe it's the same problem for you?

Motion smoothness is the culprit
I have been playing around with Note 20 Ultra (T-mobile carrier locked version - SM-N986U)
I turned off 5G (Connections --> Mobile Networks --> Network Mode --> Switched to LTE/3G/2G (auto connect)
But even with 5G off my battery drained this morning while only have google maps open 10% in 45 minutes!
All my apps that I frequently use I have gone one by one under battery usage and selected put app to sleep.
My power mode was at optimized with so I lowered it to Medium Power saving and that looks like it took care of it.
If I go back to Optimized but keep motion smoothness at standard then the phone seems to handle battery usage much better (this is all with sync on for email push).
It much more on par with my previous Razer Phone and closer to iPhone XR territory.
Amazing. Only discharges about 0.5% per hour. Thats with always on display turned on.

Wow..you could be the first use reporting this less standby drain..I have 1% per hour with Always on and 0.5% without Always on...any special tweaks you did to achieve this?

My mistake on this. My Always On Display is set to tap to wake only.
However to get best battery life possible with Always On Display set to be on full-time, turn off auto brightness, then you can manually set the brightness down the lowest setting.
That might get you down to 0.75% per hour, but I haven't tested that myself on this phone. However with my S10+ I did that and it helped a lot. Only downfall is you can't see Always On Display in bright sunlight. However indoors is usually still visible.
Got the phone (n20u exynos) yesterday at around 7:45 pm. It had 64 percent battery. Did the phone setup, sync and played around with dex. The phone got warm. Went to sleep at around 11:30 and the battery lasted me till today morning 6:30, with 2 hours sot. Don't feel its that bad. I also think it might improve further as it is still in the learning phase.
i avg .9-1.0% a hour with screen off over night..
Use Samsung Members app

if you're having an issue with battery drainage, report it to Samsung directly via Samsung Members app.
Snapdragon. Switch off wifi and normal powersaving mode with 5g still on.
7hrs sleep time, consumes battery 4%
I'm losing 4 % each to Google and Youtube, though the apps aren't running. I've forced them to sleep when not being used and hoping that will slow the drain. I'll have to wait a couple of days to see if that has helped.
About 4% for a 8.5 hours of sleeping, not bad [emoji6]View attachment 5097301

How do you know its 4%. i think its more. Also on a personal note Who uses Tinder bro? Get rid of that crap. Plenty better stuff out there. Not to offend everyone has their own taste, i just said it on a light note.
I currently own an original galaxy watch and love the 4 days of battery life . Don't like the random disconnects though. Thinking about buying the 45 mm bluetooth version of the gw3 but not excited about the battery life. How is the battery life now with the latest updates that promised better battery life?
My Galaxy Watch 3 is only a couple of months old, but so far a 17 hour day usually leaves me with about 70% when I put it on the charger at night.
With relatively heavy use, agree that battery life good. After 24 hours, still between 55-60%
GW3 Battery seems good. Definately better than my prior Galaxy Watch!
I use AOD, with a brightness hack, and constant heart rate monitoring. I'd say it's good for about a day and a half. Only minor complaint is it doesn't turn the display back on when you wake up, you have do that yourself (and sometimes a few times until it recognizes you're really up and active).
Workout tracking is a HUGE battery drain. Again with constant monitoring and screen set to not sleep, a 1-hr walk with heart rate and GPS will burn about 20% of the battery!
If it matters, it charges quite slowly. About 2.5 hours from 0 to 100%. So heavy use, and maybe an hour-long workout, and you're going to have to put it on the charger for about 2 hours every day.
So it seems that battery life is around 2 to 2.5 days then with normal use. About 1.5 to 1 day shorter than the og gw. Hmmm something to think about. I am also looking at the fitbit sense for the 6+ days battery life. Its a toss up.
As per my opinion battery life for Watch 3 is not good. Earlier i was using Huawei Watch GT2e, battery life was 9-10 days.
I do not use workout detection (or any workout function ) and a simple watch-face (weather, dual time, date and battery %) it takes around 3 days on battery! pretty good.
At the beginning I used to use complex watch-faces and the drain was huge like one day and half.

Wanna buy mine? I had a few financial problems and need the money
My honest advice....if you're going to take advantage of all the features a smartwatch offers, then expect to live with charging every day or every other day. If not, there's really not much reason to spend the money.
If that's a deal-breaker, or if you don't want to use all the features, then maybe get yourself a nice non-smartwatch. Or get a fitbit that just tracks sleep and heart rate. Don't waste your money and convenience on a smartwatch just for telling the time. Or look into the Oura ring which is a pretty nice overall health tracker that gets about 5-6 days of battery life.

What settings are you using?
I use AOD with stock watchface and brightness set to 6.
HR tracking set to every 10 minute.
Auto workout detection disabled.
The Watch barely make it through the day with 20% battery left when i put it back in the charger
Am i the only one getting such battery life? (maybe battery issue?)
My experience is different. If I do any exercising and have it continually monitor heart rate, speed, lap times etc, and its typically for 1 to 2 hours, then the watch doesn't make it through the day.

I have continuous heart rate monitoring. I have notifications (from phone) disabled. AOD with brightness set to 4 and no auto brightness. Wake gestures and Bixby turned off. Sleep monitoring enabled.
And with all that, and one of my brighter more battery eating watchfaces (with a dim mode hack)....I was at 25% after 22 hours. So had I exercised for an hour with GPS and continuous monitoring, I would have had @12% left and just made it 24 hours, except in reality it would be on the charger for 2 of those hours. Other watchfaces I have fair a little better.
Doing an experiment between continuous HR monitoring and every 10 minutes. I don't think it's more than 10% additional battery drain over the entire day.

I posted a thread way back, it's probably one of the older threads on this GW3 forum.
You need to be using Watch Maker, and also Tasker. Basically, there's a glitch that tricks the display into being brighter. It probably costs about 1-1.5% battery life per hour. I've found brightness set at 4 with autobrightness off gives a very consistent brightness between active and dim modes. A lot of my favorite watch faces were otherwise barely readable in dim mode.
I have it with Facer app dimmed mode and not black screen, watch always-on is enabled, brightness set to 4, heart sensor is set to scan continuously, stays up to 20 hours which is more than enough, to be honest in my opinion...
I'm very unimpressed with battery life on the watch. Any day i excerise with continuous monitoring (for 2 hours), it's likely to run out long before end of the day. Occasionally I get a battery warning while running, and that's the worst. It's meant to be a health tracking device. Battery is too small IMHO

I'd say get in touch with Samsung service center, 2 hours most likely your watch battery has manufactury defect, my watch has the heart sensor set to continuous auto-detect work out with wifi and GPS turned on and besides the other things I said, stays solid 18-20 hours, Samsung Health App syncs heart rate and shows me everything, it shows me even my sleep...
I do not see this anywhere, there are two different size watches and each has a different size battery. The 41 will not last as long as the 44.
