Does S8 have bad battery or what? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

My phone when I leave it alone it consumes about 3% an hour with everything off like (Bluetooth, AOD, NFC, Mobile data, and sync) only my WiFi is on.
Is it normal or what?
My Huawei P9 was much better.
P.S: my S8 is Snapdragon variant

this photo describes my battery life

Bout the same as what I have, I've noticed if i customize the "mid" power thing on the battery choices and just turn brightness to 5% and allow the notfications I get a lot better life and dont really notice it slowing down any with the cpu limiter. Its an option if you're stuck with the phone.. I'm waiting for Pixel XL 2 to come out then i'm goin back.

Get the Galaxy S8 Plus Battery Case, Wuloo Charger Case 5500 mAh Extended Backup Battery Juice Pack Rechargeable Charging Case Power Bank Cover for Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus 6.2 inch. It's the best in class, by far.

Doesn't sound normal. I have AOD on, WQHD+, 50% brightness, on WiFi most of the day, and I can get 5-6 hours of SOT (15-16 hour day). When I leave it alone it drains 1% per couple hours (2-3 hours maybe).
I do have Package Disabler installed and disabled the stuff I don't use. I also have several apps set to always be sleeping since I don't need them to be running in the background. It's found under Settings > Device Maintenance > Battery > scroll to the bottom > Always Sleeping Apps
I have the Canadian Snapdragon version.

Time spent without sleeping : 7h 13m 56s
Screen on : 3h 07m 13s
Wifi on : 1h 32m 35s
About half and hour of gaming, 1 hour data connection, sync of blur accounts on
I would say my battery life is pretty great

I'll pass with Edge. What can you get with 3G on 24/7?...

If your data connection isn't on, you're not syncing. Did you mean 1 hour of browsing? Are you using "battery saver" mode, which kills data connections after 15 mins?
If I put my phone in airplane mode and didn't turn it on it would last all week but it would be pretty useless.
Yes 1 hour of browsing through 3g data. Of course i didn't on it 24/7 it gets hot in my pocket and considering i come from tropical rainforest part of the world, its even hotter lol
I reckon that's pretty much average to be honest.
You got 2 days but your screen is hardly on.

I actually got 9h 40m on 2% i was waiting to get 9h 45m before i took another screenshot just missed out by 5 minutes either way im happy to lose 1% for almost every 5h.
I fully charged the phone before I went to sleep unplug it and when i woke up i found i only lost 2%
using XXKF2 VillianROM 1.4
quick question, is that screen cap from the regular sgs2 or from a battery app?
just normal regular sgs2 screen cap no battery apps used.
for me with VillaimROM 1.4
Is there an app that compares actual battery usage as mA hours or whatever the relevant unit of measurement is?
These graphs are interesting but we can't see the actual battery usage as the % is misleading.
Terrible battery with VillainROM 1.4
Hey,
Here are my stats. I'm not blaming VR 1.4; I'm just posting my stats. It could be a problem with my phone, I dunno. Anyway, here they are:
Battery Life: 16 hours 1 minute 28 seconds
Screen on: 57 minutes 3 seconds!!!

Is it normal to have ~30% of battery usage by Android System + Android OS on Wear 2.7

i use a verizon wear24 (without verizon, with all verizon apps like msg+ and my verizon disabled). i dont use anything special apps other than agenda (1 calender), facebook messager, and whatsapp. no google fit, no tracking, no location. the wear24 has a 400mah battery which is decent , and uses snapdragon 2100 but i'm usually only getting barely 1 day of usage. i noticed that i'm getting 30% of usage in Android OS and System, what exactly are they doing that uses that much ? when the watch first arrived it was on android wear 1.5 , sadly i didnt use it much so i dont know IF it really is the OS causing issues. i upated it , and it went all the way to "2.7"
here is my battery usage (you can see i havent really been using the watch at all based on the screen % usage):

i'm abit disappointed at the battery life as i used to use the moto 360 (1st gen) with a very very old cpu and less battery capacity and it would easily last over 1 day.
Don't know what is to be expected, but maybe these tips will help:

Also, if you aren't using LTE on the wear24, you can disable it in Settings under Connectivity to save battery there too. This may need to be repeated with each reboot.

battery is draining twice faster

Hey everyone,
my Note 4's battery (SM-N910F) is draining really fast. I bought 3 new batteries (1 samsung from their site and 2 rav power) and my battery still only holds for like 3 to 4 hours (instead of the whole day as before).
Can you help me figure out a fix?
Thanks !
Android 6.0.1 is running.
Version number MMB29M.N010FFXXU1DQL2.
Baseband N910FXXS1DQA1
3 -4 hours when using it? That is great. However, if standby is affected then you need to see what is running in the background and affecting the battery. Use BetterBatteryStats and or Gsm Battery monitor

no, 3-4 hours when almost not using it ! Before, the battery was lasting all my work day. Now at lunch, it's done.
I installed Gsm battery monitor, here's what I get:

Do a search on android system battery drain and try some of the fixes. Something is running causing the drain. Google or other backup or something constantly syncing etc.
Finally, I did a full factory reset and now the battery is back to normal!

WhatsApp / Facebook on background alot of the time

Hey guys,
I bought OnePlus 6T last week, so far I'm really liking the phone but there is something strange with the battery stats:
I charged the phone yesterday to 100% before going to sleep, then left it out of the charger to see how much it would use, in 9 hours it used 5% (it's okay, but maybe it could be better?), the strange this is, from the dump file from BBS attached, you can see that WhatsApp and Google play services were using sensors all the time, what's is happening with them?
Also, on the process tab, it's showing Telegram on top, what does it mean?
Now, after 30% being used with 2.4 screen hours, I can see these stats on these stats on the battery menu:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Facebook used 13% with 1:36 hours in use and 13:25 in background
Telegram used 7% with 0 in use and 0 background (I didn't even open it today)
WhatsApp used 2% with 19min active and 4 hours in background
Can anyone help with what might be happening here?
I attached a dump from BBS from the moment I wake up (idle) and from now.
Thanks.
Facebook app is just a rubbish. It's known for draining battery
Yes I know Facebook drains lots of battery, but that does not explain why it's running so much time in the background, I have checked other people phones and they do not experience such thing, this is probably something with my phone
get rid of the facebook app...problem solved, and you will have a happier life..
