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

Hi, I get 9h SOT after 3-4 days of using my S21 Ultra Exynos (since I received it) and 2 full days since last charge. Attached screenshot. I am happy so far and I think SOT will further improve in few days, after the system settles down and the battery reaches full optimization. What do you think? Is it good or bad? What about your SOT?

is that on 120hz? mostly wifi or 4G/5G?

Adaptive resolution, mostly wi-fi (aprox 80% wi-fi / 20% 4G). Have eSIM with 4G call active.

E2100? I would love to have such SOT. Now with note 8 i get max 2-3 hours

Yes, Exynos 2100

After just 1 charge, i have this SoT (6 hours 32 minutes) with S21 Ultra Exynos 2100. I think it gonna be even better within a week or so.
4G/3G = about 50% of the time
Battery Save mode (It kicks in only when the phone gets a little of juice)

That's insane SoT, i could never reach it, i guess everything depends on how we use our phones, but you did not sapre in anything, gaming, web browsing, videos, etc..once i did have 8 hours SoT but that was because i just watched YouTube videos the whole day lol

Whoa that's insane! So far I've only managed 6hours with 12 hours of usage.

Exynos 2100. Its really badass in SOT.
Wqhd+, 2 SIM, LTE, WIFI, galaxy watch on BT.
5 hour32 min and 43% battery left.
Nice one, Samsung!

Oh, so the S21U does have eSim.

Got it yesterday.
First it discharged very quickly after setup etc. I did use Smart Switch
Now almost 24h, 5% left, SoT 10h29m
FHD+, wifi, mostly browsing and youtube/spotify (no gaming and wasnt taking lots of pictures). Didnt notice any excessive heat.

Spoiler: Screen shots
These are the first 2 cycles of my device was tingling and setting up and also in the first cycle sync was on all the time while second cycle it was of

For those hitting 20+ hours, can I get a detailed breakdown of your settings. I find myself averaging around 15-17 hours a day since I got the phone... And that's with...
1080p resolution
Wifi always on
Auto brightness
NFC off
Adaptive display
Bluetooth only on when in the car
Email sync, but every hour

So far loving it
qhd+
Adaptive
wifi on
mobile data on
nfc on
sync on
gps on
bt on
aod on tap
Got the phone on 29, coming from note 8 it's insane and when I still have old device I can see the difference side by side.

battery or software problem??

I am software version shown in ss
I just bought the phone and only getting sot 30 mins for 10% of battery consumption i got like 4 and half hour of sot for 73% battery consumption i thought x2 pro have around 8 hr sot help me it's frustrating
Well that calculates to more than 6h SOT, which isn't that unrealistic if you used 4g and max screen brightness all the time, but there might be something draining the battery. Check the usage details. I see you use something connected to bluetooth so that might be causing the issue.
Bro i was using the brightness at 27% and nothing was connected to the Bluetooth
I installed betterbatterystats (bbs) xda edition and gsam battery app with adb rights. So you can see the deep sleep with bbs and the times of dot/phone time/ect and which app use how many ampere.
In this charging time I get 4,5 hours dot with 40 hours phone is on. I have now 34%.
Debloating, netguard firewall, no energy saving, always 90 hz.
Also i am having fps dropping issue during online gaming like pubgm or codm
What should i do to get normal 60 fps as this phone has 855+ so i can get 60 fps normally
I'm having even worse SOT and I have the same realme ui version.
I'm not as much hardcore user as a lot of you and looking at 4k mah battery I thought that I will be getting at least 7h SOT.
I'm not playing any games, right now most of the time phone is connected to wifi. What should I do? Debloat my phone? Is it somehow dangerous for my software? Can i ever go back to normal version?
location services destroyes battery on this device
i disable it for one day just to see the difference and it went from 4 hours SOT to 6 hours plus
always talking full brightness wifi some 4g 90hz
and from 100% to 1%
You have like almost 30 hours of standby, and if you use always on display, then that's at least 30% on that. If you consider this then it doesn't look that bad. You do the math. The other guy's stats concern me more.
You will need to make some adjustments, battery can be excellent but you have to be realistic,
Check out App quick freeze and freeze the apps you don't use.
Dark mode,
AOD off,Screen light effects off,
You just got the phone,tinker with it a while to see,
Also battery will drain a lot when your setting up the first day

Standby drain

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
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.

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.

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..

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.

Question [Help] SOT

It is my second day with the phone. Exyons version. I charged it 100% and left home at 5pm and here were are 11:40 pm 21% with 2hours 44 mins SOT
How?
4g enabled about 40 mins
I only used camera, google maps, a little facebook and uber.
Bluetooth enabled for the watch and the buds.
No wifi. No nfs.
Adaptive refresh rate and 1080p resolution after it dropped to 60%.
What have I done wrong?
This is very similar to my situation but I have snapdragon version my SOT is not that good get about 2-3 hours with 8 hours of use. I already resetting my phone once I'm currently still going through the learning usage pattern after my reset. Hopefully it improves because I'm hoping that my phone is not defective.
I thought about resting the phone but I have already downloaded about 20gb of games :/
I will wait couple days to see maybe the phone is still learning usage pattern . Please keep us updated if SOT got improved with you
I sincerely advise you to do a factory reset, don't restore any data (except stuff like picture and video) and start again installing apps, don't install everything, just the necessary and check the battery, you will see a big improvement.
start from there and then look at the difference.
different apps can behave differently.
And of course put anything you don't constantly use to deep sleep in battery setting!
I did it and my battery now is totally fine.

Question for you. What is normal battery draining for you. For example, if you leave your phone over night usually how much percent does your phone drop. And how long does it take your phone to drop by 1% obviously this last question depends on what app you're using but ideally on average how long does it take your phone to drop by 1%. The reason I'm asking is Because I kind of want to gage how my phone Is performing compared to others. Thanks!
Yea what's been said above, don't use smart switch and give it about a week to settle in, you will genuinely see an improvement.
Put all apps you don't use regularly/ need notifications from in deep sleep. If you have crap signal at home turn on WiFi calling. Turn off nearby decide scanning in connections.
If you're still struggling after a week, download GSAM as it gives much more detailed stats
I lose around 0.5% an hour overnight on standby

on average I lose 0,6-0,7%/h when the screen is off and an average of 10%/h when the screen is on.
fhd+, bt with smartwatch, location off, mostly on wi-fi (when I'm on wifi I use a Bixby routine to turn off data and switch to 2g but I don't think it makes much difference), lots of apps to deep sleep but not apps like whatsapp telegram and gmail.
anyway, everything depends on your specific use and apps installed but I can say my battery life was half than now when I restored my settings and apps data using samsung stuff.

Thank you. I will do a factory reset and update you guys later
I heard that uwb application is the culprit. Many users reported worst battery life with it. It's something related to 5g ultra wide band. Hopefully future update fixes it. Check below thread on how you can remove it. Not sure what functionality gets impacted by removing it
What is Uwb Application and how do I stop it??
So this morning I noticed this app I've never seen before, Uwb Application hogged 14%. I've never seen it before. What does it do and how do I stop it? I recently installed microg and YouTube vanced? Does this have anything to do with these apps...

FHD+/120hz/5g off/smart things off/ everything else normal
Overnight loss is about 2-3%
From 100% to 99% withing 3 minutes after wake up in the morning. That's turning screen on checking Facebook, or browse news.
My Huawei P30 pro would go 99% probably after 30 or 40 min of morning browsing
iPhone 12 pro max I am testing now, stays 100% for about an hour fr a wake up, that's browsing internet social networks

To measure battery loss from 100-99 is meaningless. The last several generations of the iPhone have behaved like this but clearly this has no real meaning, Which is more accurate? From that clearly the Samsung is the "least worse". To stay at 100% for an hour is absurd. BS calibration. Similar for the P30 Pro. Overnight loss of 2-3% is par for the course (I lose -using GSAM Pro - 0.6% per hour overnight which is probably very similar to you) So ignore a 1% drop in 3 minutes. It is just a matter of calibration.
Edit - added per hour re the 0.6% to clarify.
iOS is lying about battery percentage. If you see 100% it's in 100-95% range.
Anyway, it has more efficient deep sleep.
Yeah. Shouldn't the battery only be at 100 while it's plugged in? Cause as soon as you unplug it, it's obviously using the battery juice...which means it's no longer at 100.
I'm not sure if these Temps and cpu usage are normal, which I don't feel like it's normal, but every time I pick up my phone My phone is just running at 100% cpu usage. Granted I already reset my phone two days ago and got two full charges in. And my battery says it's still learning usage pattern. I'm not sure if this is part of the learning usage pattern phase.

Wait at least 3 full days after setting up a new Android phone before you assess battery life and SOT.

And thats so satisfying!!

General Screen on Time (SOT) - Note 10 Pro Max

I am at over 9 hours SOT with more than 10% battery intact yet.
Mostly run at 60Hz, a fair trade off for that kinda SOT.
Mine was similar 9 hours and a half , but with 120hz
Wifi, data, bluetooth on, auto lighting, and was only consuming social media and youtube that day

That is incredibly good. I haven't gotten that kinda SOT with 120hz y let. My phone's continuously connected with a smartwatch as well. But even at 60Hz, the trade off is fair enough.

Can't say it's farily good...theoretically it should give more than 10 hrs at 60 Hz.

It all depends on the use, and the time you use it, for example, if you use it nonstop with social media with a 100% cycle charge, I think with 60hz it would last 10 hours minimum, but if you use it, let's say, 3 screen hours a day, your battery will be over in day two with 6 SOT, becasue the standby drains aswell

I agree, but at the end what matters is reasonably good SOT overall and no idle battery drain. If these two are ok, everyone will be happy.
I just got 5-6 hours SOT, i dont know what cause it. Maybe you can share tips how to get long SOT on redmi note 10 pro? Thanks before
BB belongs to personal use.
I i am more kinda light user and i have about 3 hrs SOT but 3 one charge is enought for me to run the phone for 3 days

Idle Battery Drain: 1-6% for 7hrs night (observed only once)
(Sorry the SS is dull and dim because I had enabled the option "Adjust text and background automatically" in Display settings, turning OFF later fixed SS)
This phone is dha bomb! Crosses 9hr SOT easy with 120Hz on with 5-7% still left.
P.S: AOD turned off, don't like that feature until LTPO displays are the norm anyways.
Hi everyone.
7h 30m on 120hz
2+ days of comfy, normal use, with high brightness, etc.
(Pixel Experience, will test on 60hz next)
I get a max of 3 hours sot with 120hz and a 80% of battery in the morning. After 2 hours and 45 minutes of screen i have 20% left

Which tweaks?
I use tasker to UNDERCLOCK the CPU cores, but yet still keep it at 120hz, it's still smooth, and Greenify to hibernate unused background apps tasker and Greenify work very well together

Question Improving battery life

Help everybody,
I've bought the phone 3 days ago. Battery life is very bad, getting around 3 hrs SOT using Spotify, Facebook, Reddit and Instagram. Mobile data is always on, Bluetooth was on for 2 hours
Is there any way to improve battery life?

Ne Firmware should make things even better
I would try recalibrating the battery, I have found that it lasts very long after hitting 1%, and others have also found that the phone continues charging for a bit after hitting 100% (even with the LED being green). So completely drain the phone, let it charge to 100% and when it hits 100%, give it like half an hour more.
Also, disabling 5G in the Network settings should help. If you are underground (with bad cell signal), I would suggest you enable Airplane mode and then enable Wifi. This will prevent the phone from constantly searching for a better cell signal. Doing this helped me reduce idle drain.
Last night with a few videos + today, I got a total of 3h40 at 120hz durable mode (Charge limit to 90% and the phone is still at 15% battery left).

I got it via OTA.
Also you probably need to set up other (was tired yesterday evening):
dynamic mode
5g off
90 Hz Display (I don't really see the difference between 90/120)
Wifi, BT, location always on
I get around 7 h of SOT fully charged and 5 hours brings me from bed to bed.
Yeah 5g off makes a lot of difference to me. I also use Naptime.
I see a big change with location off. Just put it on qith quick toggle when needed. The standby is much much better with just this change for me. I have 5G because my plan doesn't allow it either way.
As others said, it's about 5-6 SoT, normal use on its stock Asus Android OS.
After installing LineageOS on now I got 8+ SoT.
Due to the clean LineageOS, 60Hz screen refreah rate, battery saver always on, no google spying services installed, 100% google free,no blotware, no whatsapp no facebook...
Phone now lasts me comfortably a full day of work (sometimes day and half).
I use it for work not as my playstation.
I'm super happy.
Btw, your post is duplicate with other post, That post has other feedbacks that may help you, better to stick to that post.
