Well my Gear was rooted and running Null 07.
I couldn't resist taking the offer from Samsung and installing the new firmware...
Since then the battery life is drastically improved.
I am running Pedometer watch (I do most of the time).
It has recorded 6000 steps today
I have read 25 emails
4 Wordfued moves

My gear has been unplugged for 12 hours and I'm on 83% - nothing short of stunning.
The new notifications are amazing, Wordfued notifications are telling me who made the move, what they played and how many points it was worth.
I simply cannot think of a better smart watch on the market at the moment. (but that's my opinion )
Wow.....
sepiroth887 can start sleeping more I guess.... Seems like Sammy hacked his ATN (or hired him ) and the notifications finally are what they should be!!!
Anything you pick in MK7 gets notifications on the watch. Awesome!!!!!!

Yes. I have gesture for wake up enabled. We were out shopping yesterday so I know it woke up quite a few times. Wish there was a way count to it.
I can only see the need for running Null 8 at the moment for internet and GPS.
Honestly the battery life has been massively improved :good:

Mine feels like it drains a little faster. 83% after 12 hours?! Sounds like a miracle.

With null 8 you can go into battery stats and have a look how long the screen has been on. I'm at 57% battery with screen on time of 2 hours. That's after 20 hours of charge and lots of playing setting nova launcher up.

Sounds good. I didn't wear the watch today. Although it was lying around my Gear and connected to it (only received some text notifications) it I only lost 9%. That's 9% in 16 hours to be specific. So yeah, in standby the battery life is amazing.
Definitely going to do some measurements to see what the biggest power hog is when using the Gear actively.
Seems incredible
With the new upgrade the Gear battery is more than fantastic
48 hours and has further 42%
I originally thought my battery life had shortened, then again I realised I charged it 3 days ago and have been using it a lot more with the new notifications activated still on 30%
How did you guys get the new firmware already? I got the gear manager update and have been checking for the watch firmware update and nothing super annoying
I've recently purchased Nova Launcher Prime and been using it for some days, I love how customizable it is, but I've also noticed that my battery drains A LOT faster, and also I've checked under the battery usage settings and the thing that's been draining the battery is the Android System. For example: if my screen on time usage is let's say 20%, the Android system is about 10% and when I use the Samsung stock Launcher the Android system is always about 1/4 or 1/3 of the screen usage (I know it's strange but that's how I meassure the battery usage). Also I use the rootless pixel launcher and Hyperion launcher and it only happens with Nova. (FYI I normally get around 7 or 8 hours of SOT and with Nova I only get about 5 hours max)
Any thoughts?

I have been using Nova Prime for many, many years.
Overall /battery wise, Nova Prime has never been
an issue.
However,
yes, a few times i did have issues with Nova Prime, draining my battery.
The reason I eventually found, was that directly / indirectly, the beta Nova Prime version (I'm a beta subcriber) was in some way corrupted or it was a bug or another app directly or indirectly, related to the functioning of the Nova Prime beta version.
Bottom line
is that if sorted out, Nova Prime should not be a battery drainer
See example screenshots
I'm using nova beta, and I think it is worse on battery than rootless pixel launcher from amirzaidi, which I'm back using again
I just wish you could lock the desktop cause my kids are always moving things .

I'm not a beta user, but still the problem persists. I read that it might be caused by the incompatibility of the At a glance widget, I've disabled it and nothing. But the weird thing is that I use that widget with all my other launchers and only with Nova the Android system tab is the one with a lot of drain.
To prove my point, I'm currently using the Launchair V2 and check the SOT and the Android system battery usage. Screen is 27% and Android system is 10% which is nearly a third. With Nova for example if the screen were 27% the Android system should be around 15 to 17% and I think that's a lot.

I think you should used more "Advanced battery apps"
eg Gsam battery (ADB method,no root, Play Store free)
BetterbatteryStats (ADB installed method, no root, Play Store,/ XDA forum
Wakelock detector ADB install method, no root
Play store /XDA forum
3C All in one Play store,
to analyze your battery consumption /drainage /use.
You should get more info, on type of wakelocks/battery drain etc.
I don't use or even look at my in buildt battery
app.
If Nova Prime launcher is causing
excessive battery drain then there should be a good
reason.?
The obove apps could pinpoint reason.
I believe most of the popular, Android launchers in Playstore is battery friendly /optimized.
As stated i have been using Nova Prime for many
years.
I have no battery drain issues presently and I'm using the beta that should have bugs etc.
The stable version of Nova Prime should be stable.!
Good luck.

I've used Nova Launcher Prime for a long time, at least 4-5 years. I don't use the beta releases but with the paid public releases I've never ever seen or experienced battery drain issues ever. My top battery drainers are screen on, and always on display. Everything else from there is virtually nothing to worry about.
One thing you may want to try if you haven't is go into settings>device maintenance>then tap battery in bottom left, and in there you can place all the apps that you don't need updates from or get messages from in the always sleeping apps catagory. The "Unmonitored" catagory would be for apps you never want put to sleep. I'd say 85% of my apps are in "always sleeping". Doing this should help save battery. Also running your display in FHD+ and not WQHD+ saves battery, black themes/wallpapers, and keeping screen brightness low will help too. One last tip is Uninstall any bloatware you can if not using it and if it's not removable force stop it, then clear cache & data and then disable the garbage.
As for Nova being a battery hog I'd have to say maybe there is some underlying issue or conflict. Mines been light on battery on all my phones.
^Excellent info!

Yeah, actually I've done all of those things, I have the "always sleeping" section with a lot of apps. But after reading all of your responses (which I thank btw) I think none of you have experienced my issue, because the thing that drains my battery is, after screen on, Android system, but only when using Nova. Because I switch to the stock launcher and boom, no more drain. And it's strange because I use the exact same apps with all the launchers. It's a shame, because I love Nova but I'd rather have my battery than a "good looking device".

I really don't know what else to suggest, but I can add a comment in the form of a question, aren't Electronics wonderful? Haha at times they seem to have a mind of Their Own and do as they wish. Sometimes it's the simplest thing we overlook that is causing the issue, and other times it is a hardware issue or conflict.
Here is my use all the battery you wish (Unmonitored) list & battery stats, check Nova.
And my phone info...
I wish you all the best, hopefully you will figure it out. Nova is the best launcher in my opinion when it comes to customizing the way your phone looks and operates. But like you said it would be better to have a phone with a battery that performs rather than a phone that just looks good.

Using nova launcher prime on my note 9....no battery drain at all compared to the stock launcher of the phone. That's where I experienced drain. Also I disabled the stock launcher from the apps. (force close)
I use nova launcher for a couple of years, since samsung launcher stop showing the notifications in some apps and lot of options missing.
and nova launcher show all notifications badges.
and consume very low battery.

Wow it's kind of annoying, everyone seems to have no problems with the battery in some cases even better. So I guess it's just me? Then again I'd like to remark that the thing that's draining my battery is Android System, not Nova itself. But it ONLY happens when Nova is selected.
I'm only bringing this up in case someone had the same issue and somehow figured something out.

Nothing changed on my side when I turned it off. Just saved a little more battery life.
I also noticed a faster discharge when charging with anything except the original charger it came with.

Hey how are you, nova launcher drains a little bit but less than the stock launcher,
Did you restrict the background for nova launcher?

Only if we don't use the phone.
for those who got the final update, or had the beta, how is the battery life and general performance compared with PIE ?
Mine is snappier and battery life is better.

The battery life is slightly increased and rest every thing is okay.
Was a beta user. Exynos variant. Im sure the battery life and performance of Snapdragon variants would go more better. Exynos always sucks.
I think battery is better, lets see the rest
Mine is about the same. In the beta forums it seems to be all over the place though, some are happy, some not so much.
Any changes in the camera quality ?
My Exynos S10 used to reach 30-40+ hours of battery time on P (mostly web whatsapp and regular phone calls, no games at all, see pic).
After upgrading to stable Q, juice can't even give me 30 hours. As I see it, in my case Q is clearly the culprit.
SOT is not a valid metric for me, as I'm always on web whatsapp -- lots of use, no screen on.
Stable version of Q. Better battery for me
2 hours of screen
It takes me 2 hours of screen. plz heeelp

For starters, try and disable the following settings, case they are on:
. location
. bluetooth
. AOD
. NFC
. WiFi (case mobile data is suitable for you)
<Display>:
. set screen brightness to something around 50% (middle of the bar).
. set <Screen timeout> to , say, 30 seconds.
. set <Screen saver> to "none"
<Device care> / <Battery>:
. set <Power Mode> to "optimized"
. set <Adaptive power saving> to "on".
As for apps, Facebook is known to be a huge juice drainer.
Let me know how this works for you,
Cheers

Disabling everything isn't the solution.... Something must have gone wrong during the update process. I have everything on and I have a great battery life. Maybe trying a factory reset for example (even if it's annoying)
battery is marginally better on mine, after the update i entered the stock recovery and wiped cache, i dont know if that does anything.One UI 2 is very underwhelming, not many changes

Disabling everything is for quick diagnosing purposes, for identifying shady component(s), not meant to be a solution. Think of a box that won't start. You start by ruling out PSU, then memory modules, video card, and so on. Sure, in the OP case update issues must be considered, as well as third party software.
Cheers
My phone feels great after the update. Fast and smooth, the battery is the same, gets me through the day with Wi-Fi,BT and mobile data on all the time.
Love the new animations but the gesture navigation needs improvement, especially when switching between apps. Overall great update.
Thanks you Samsung!
ram usage increased too...
I agreed. I'm on the stable version of android 10. I have a Galaxy S10 G973U and It is on T-Mobile. Battery Life has steadily gotten worse for me starting from the October security update and it is much worse on One ui 2.0. Overnight, I lost 15 PERCENT CHARGE. I don't know what to do. I'm not sure if its a problem with my device or a widespread issue and just a problem with the software. Pls help. I called samsung to report this 3 times and they referred me to a repair shop. I don't want to go to the shop unless I am hundred percent sure that this is an issue only with my phone. g973u1 users are reporting excellent battery life and some g973u users are reporting bad battery life. Pls help.
In only 2h of screen time, I've lost 40% of my battery and I was a 100%.
Few web browsing and some texts and Spotify playlist in the background.
Is there anyway to optimize the battery life on One ui 2.0?
Gotta love these "how's the battery life?" threads.
Mine is better.
Mine is worse.
Mine is about the same
Camera quality decreased
Phone runs hotter
Uses more ram
It ruined my marriage
The phone got bigger for some reason
And so forth...
For me its about the same
Hi. as I get the view of the battery life as it was in android 9ยก? While still not understand view of the battery life in android 10
Hello, I had p30pro and was perfectly satisfied with it but from curiousity changed it for oneplus 7 pro and then galaxy note 10+, wasn't satisfied with those devices because of worse battery life than p30pro, I had 8-10h screen on time with p30pro and ~5h with one plus 7 pro and galaxy note 10+. (gsmarena endurance rating is not correct, p30pro according to them has 100h endurance rating and galaxy note10+ has 107h, so I expected battery life to be pretty much the same but its far from that )
because of magnificent battery life on p30pro i changed back to p30pro, but this is second unit I got and battery life is not like on the first one. first one was 1 year old 8/128, current one is 8/256 3 months old and I have like 5-6 hours screen on time with new one which does not satisfy me, battery life is primary reason i got back on p30pro.
usage is the same, same applications installed as far as i am aware
I have screenshot from first p30pro with 8hours screen on time and 25% battery left, it was so great that I had to save it :laugh: and battery life was contant like that
Other pictures attached is from current device, 3h31min screen on time with 38% battery left, so by the time it drops to 25% like screenshot from first p30pro it would be like 4h30min screen on time, big difference. battery life is constant like that
any tips, solutions, suggestions, thoughts?
-i did wipe the cache in recovery
-i tried dark mode
-no app seem to be draining the battery
solutions that i am thinking about:
-wait for 10.1 update for my device and see if there is any changes
-sell this one and get third p30pro (really dont want to do that, I will lose money and time and would be furious if i dont get good battery like on first device )
-factory reset (really dont want to do that, I will lose half a day again customizing and installing everything)
is integrated battery info correct, could there be something /an app that drains the battery but is not showing correctly in battery usage?
FAULTY UNIT?
There must be somethnig draining battery , either delete one by one apk and see if it improved, then you will know which apk was trouble, or hard reset and manually reinstall all apks, do not use backup as faulty apk will do same harm.
Second phone was new or second hand? If second hand you should do hard reset first.., tip for future..
one thing I noticed on screenshot from first device is that I was using only one sim card back then, I turned off second one now and will see if battery improves, altough in Screen On Time thread I see people have 8-10 screen on time regularly with two mobile signals.
"there must be something draining the battery..." can there be anything like that but not showing in battery usage correctly? because everyhing in battery usage seems fine.
both phones was second hand and I did reset them, but from menu, dont know if there is any difference in reseting from recovery?
1. EMUI 10.1 have same battery in some cases may be worse battery than EMU 10
2. Why sell phone if this one is good just need find what eat battery
3. Factory reset thats in many cases fix drain problem but if you wont do that why you not do backup first than make factory reset
Solution
1. Try put all apps in sleep mode settings ---> battery ---> startup apps (there enable sleep mode on all apps only leave apps from where you want get notifications)
2. Dark mode i recommend you use it any time its not save your battery too much but it can help to save battery
3. Use Huawei optimizer app to clean junks and optimize phone
4. Disable synchronizatios
5. Disable GPS, NFC, Bluetooth if you not use it (if you use any navigation than just use GPS when you not need it)
6. I see your Google Chrome use too much battery use instead Kiwi Browser
7. Same about Instagram use light version of instagram or try InstaMod app its better for me
8. Your screen display use 24+ % battery try lower light i have set on AUTO BRIGHTNESS (Tips in settings display set lower resolution)
9. Cell standby try disable mobile data when you not need and btw try put sim in another slot
10. Disable or Uninstall all apps from Google i have disabled Google Movies, Google Music, Google Drive and mayn other apps just disable all apps which you not use
11. I see you are on stock launcher you can try Nova Launcher or Evie Launcher or Microsoft Launcher....(Tips Evie Launcher is one of the lighweight launcher and build for performance/battery i now use Microsoft Launcher which is same as Evie but with little more functions
If you need any info just ask
so I disabled second sim card yesterday and this is result I have now, much better! 1h16min screen on time with 86% battery, which corresponds with about 8h screen on time :good:
can't believe another sim card has so much impact on battery life. my signal is full!
in next few days I will try only 3g or 2g enabled instead of 4g for second sim card to see if that makes a difference.
5 hours & 40% still left, always using data connection. Mainly browsing and watching videos.
VOG_L29D EMUI 10.1.0.126, firmware updated using hisuite proxy
But also any other firmware version was giving the. Same SOT

Yes brightness is always automatic (indoor and outdoor) , i rarely use wifi,
Usage, facebook, YouTube and emailing, and some light gaming.
Also I'm using two sim cards but disabled 4g on the first sim card wich i use in calls and left the data line 4g.

Hello, I had p30pro and was perfectly satisfied with it but from curiousity changed it for oneplus 7 pro and then galaxy note 10+, wasn't satisfied with those devices because of worse battery life than p30pro, I had 8-10h screen on time with p30pro and ~5h with one plus 7 pro and galaxy note 10+. (gsmarena endurance rating is not correct, p30pro according to them has 100h endurance rating and galaxy note10+ has 107h, so I expected battery life to be pretty much the same but its far from that )
because of magnificent battery life on p30pro i changed back to p30pro, but this is second unit I got and battery life is not like on the first one. first one was 1 year old 8/128, current one is 8/256 3 months old and I have like 5-6 hours screen on time with new one which does not satisfy me, battery life is primary reason i got back on p30pro.
usage is the same, same applications installed as far as i am aware
I have screenshot from first p30pro with 8hours screen on time and 25% battery left, it was so great that I had to save it :laugh: and battery life was contant like that
Other pictures attached is from current device, 3h31min screen on time with 38% battery left, so by the time it drops to 25% like screenshot from first p30pro it would be like 4h30min screen on time, big difference. battery life is constant like that
any tips, solutions, suggestions, thoughts?
-i did wipe the cache in recovery
-i tried dark mode
-no app seem to be draining the battery
solutions that i am thinking about:
-wait for 10.1 update for my device and see if there is any changes
-sell this one and get third p30pro (really dont want to do that, I will lose money and time and would be furious if i dont get good battery like on first device )
-factory reset (really dont want to do that, I will lose half a day again customizing and installing everything)
is integrated battery info correct, could there be something /an app that drains the battery but is not showing correctly in battery usage?
FAULTY UNIT?

I think I found your cause of drain. Go to settings, apps, apps, on the top right click on show system apps, then check for hms core. Click that, then on the top right you will se a gear. Click on the gear and carefully untick everything that has to do with data sharing, analytics etc. Check your battery again and let me know mate ??
Hi everyone,
I got my new S20 FE just a few days ago, and I'm still getting used to it, but I wonder if having to charge the battery every day on average is "normal" or not.
When I plug the phone into the charger, the battery is never flat. Rather, it's hovering at around 30%, and I usually stop charging when it reaches 85 to 90%. I use the 15W (?) charger that was in the box, so no ultra-quick charge for this one.
I tried to plug it into a Xiaomi/Poco 33W charger for a few minutes, just to see if it would speed things up, but the remaining charging time was the same as with the regular charger so I reverted to it, just to be on the safe side.
Still, I wonder if it's normal to have to recharge the phone every day, when my Poco X3 Pro needed to be charged every two days on average. Granted, the Poco has a bigger battery, but it has an LCD screen instead of an AMOLED.
I spend a lot of time on Twitter, especially in the evening, mostly, but that's it. No gaming of any kind.
What say you?

Hi,
I've turned Auto brightness off. I'll tell you if it changes anything in terms of battery life. I've also set AOD to fixed brightness instead of auto.
Thanks for the tip!
No problem, thank you for the question!
I think that debloating is not a bad idea, also try to go to all individual apps settings and set the battery to Restricted, except mail and messaging apps, so they won't drain the battery when you're not using them. Lowering the screen refresh rate also helps a bit, as well as restricting mobile data to 4G only, if you don't need 5G. Also, you can limit processor speed, turn Adaptive battery on and Enhanced processing off.
Hi again!
I've changed network settings to 4G and below since my SIM doesn't give me access to 5G yet, but battery life was still iffy. I then changed the network settings to something called "GLOBAL", and it's a bit better, though I don't know what that setting does exactly.
It also depends on how much your using your phone, what apps your running (games vs non-games, etc).
For example, I've played some games, but mainly have been on the internet via apps like social media, email, web browser.
I'm currently at 55% And it's been over 24 hours since I last fully charged it. The Battery graph says based on how I've been using the phone that I still have about 1d 3h left.
I do usually charge once a day, but it's definitely more than 24 hours after the last charge. I went to bed last night with over 62% left after having charged it probably 12 hours prior. When I woke up this morning, it was done to 59% and since then, is now at 55%.
So I've been pretty pleased with the battery life for me. Whether that's good or bad, I have no idea but it's definitely better than my last phone.
I don't do games on my phone (in fact, I don't do games at all, period), but I think the AOD being set on automatic lighting could have something to do with my relatively poor battery life. I'll try to set it to a fixed brightness and see if it changes things, though the brightness scale is pretty rudimentary. Maybe the light sensor is turned off when automatic brightness is off.
I usually spend more time on Twitter when I'm on the phone, so this could explain that.
Another possible factor is my application launcher: I use Microsoft Launcher, which I adore, but every time I wake up the screen, it does a position fix to update the weather widget. That could also explain why my battery drains faster than I expected.
I've just set AOD to fixed brightness. I'll tell you if it helps or not. Thanks for your input anyway!

I used to use Microsoft Launcher, but then switched to Nova launcher. However, since getting this phone, I've moved to OneUI and I'm loving it. I haven't really changed anything. AOD is set to whatever it was out of the box and I've been on Twitter and the web since I last posted and I'm currently at 53%.
I think I have seen MS Launcher be a battery hog if I remember. Nova isn't as bad, but OneUI seems to work great.
Also, the number and type of widgets you have installed could also cause battery drain. For me, I only have one screen. I use smart widgets to "stack" widgets I need which are calendar, weather (from WeatherBug), Brave Search, PowerAmp (for music) and then the phone maintenance widget. So far, battery life is pretty good like I've said.
You can also go into Settings->Battery and Device Care and maybe check in there to see what might be eating up your battery the most.
I like the look and feel of MS Launcher, compared to others (I believe I've tried them all over the years...), even if I have to admit Nova is a close second. MS Launcher is a possible culprit, obviously. I may switch back to One UI to check how things are going, I don't know.
I've just topped-off the battery, and just idling, the phone is supposed to last over 2 days until the next charge, but I know it won't last that long.
So I got my phone used (only 2 months, still has back poly attached) and it came with august 1 update and the battery drain on it is abysmal. I can see the battery go down while I'm browsing insta or whatever, not even gaming. You know what instantly fixed it? Downclocking my gpu and cpu using FKM. But this is not a pretty solution as it requires root and I would like to experience stock without root for a bit.
Which makes me think the system isn't properly downclocking the soc when idle leading to increased drain. I would like to know if anyone has a better fix than just disabling all the options on your phone.

Well, considering it's used (was it refurbished or did you purchase it off eBay or some other market)? That might be why it was being sold. You said 2 months. Does that mean it was only used for 2 months or you've had it for 2 months? If the phone itself is only 2 months old, who knows how the previous owner used the phone.
Did you do a factory reset when you got it to ensure it was back to stock settings? If so, then it might be your battery is bad and could be the reason it was sold/returned by the previous owner. If you haven't factory reset it, that is possibly the only other option that I can think of if you've already rooted and downclocked it.
Mine was new when I got it a few weeks ago and the battery lasts 1.5 days for me, even with the refresh rate set to 120 Hz. And that's with moderate use (playing games a bit, browsing the web, texting, phone calls).
You might want to try setting your screen refresh to 60 Hz to see if that helps as well if you haven't done that yet.
Go to Settings->Display->Motion Smoothness and select "Standard" to set it to 60 Hz refresh. That will save some battery as well.
See if that helps as well. If not, and as I stated, if you haven't done a factory reset, that might be your only other option unless someone else has something I haven't thought of.

Yeah I got it from a store second hand. Came with the back poly still attached and no damages on the body. A killer deal. As for the battery issue, I had flashed wrong region stock rom. After learning what csc meant and figuring out I was on the wrong region I flashed the right rom and now my battery life is top notch. On a side note it has only 54 charge cycles after I got it.

Glad you were able to figure it out. Even though the phone is reaching 2 years since it's release, I've been very happy with it. My S7 finally died over a week ago after 5+ years of dependable service.

This is actually the second device I bought this year. At first I upgraded my Redmi Note 5 Pro which gave me 4 years of great service. Could have reached 5 but then I would not be able to exchange it so I did and got a Redmi Note 11 Pro Plus 5g. Considering how much I paid for it I was more or less satisfied except the camera. Then I bought this after months of careful consideration and also because it was a killer deal. I got a brand new device for half the price. Flagship specs at 33k bdt. You can't get a better deal.
