    Jacek, 29 Mar 2023I just had a thought. My S20 was manufactured in June 2022 ... moreThat's what I thought and was a bit worried when I purchased the fe basically a month ago now but mine thus far seems good.. getting 5-6% drain overnight so all good

      I just had a thought. My S20 was manufactured in June 2022 (T6 date code in serial number). Maybe people who have high battery drain bought older models which have their batteries degraded over long period of storage when unused?

            And that's idle on screen surely would be worse right?

Also set DND (do not disturb) to ON. What's your drain rate overnight with those settings in (% drain/ _ hrs)

                The standby overnight drain is the only figure that is comparable between phones of the same model because battery drain during the day when the phone is in use is highly variable and not directly comparable due to the nature of the activity (gaming consumes a lot more than browsing or sending messages).

                  Jacek, 29 Mar 2023Fully upgraded to the latest version.What's the 'latest' version on your phone? OneUI 5.1 or is it OneUI 5.0? Other regions still have not received OneUI 5.1 so the 'latest' for them is OneUI 5.0

                    Today's routine: 85% charge at 1 PM, slightly less usage than on the previous day. It's 2 AM and I'm going to sleep - I have 23% left in the tank.

                    Latest version of the software, screen set to 60 Hz, AOD on, almost constantly connected to WiFi, cellular data off (and only 4G when on), BT and NFC off. Zero gaming, heavy Facebook/Messenger use and lots of Internet browsing.

                            Yesterday I have charged my S20 FE 5G up to 85% and used it throughout the day (Internet, Facebook, Messenger, WiFi on, AOD on) from 1 PM to about 2:30 AM. At that point battery was at 15%. Then I slept till 10:30 AM and battery dropped to 12%. 33 hours, 25 hours of usage, 8 hours idle and it used 73% of the battery.

I do agree it would be a pity to give up proper OneUI 5.1 experience too fast (not to mention a new phone's warranty). I currently wait for it on A52s and already have a few favorite features (have checked on other phones already) coming with this update, while hoping for better optimization as well. So again, "goodlock" to sort this out. (Smart Tutor - though the same)

Try going to settings and tap 'software update'. If you get a download prompt, maybe you can proceed with the OneUI 5.1 installation. That way, we'll both know if my battery drain issue under OneUI 5.1 update is an isolated case or not. You don't have to do it of course given the possibility your phone might do the same, but I'd appreciate if you give me feedback if you do decide to update to OneUI 5.1

Really smooth, lots of features my Pixel 7 can never offer, and it's really just the battery drain that's bugging me and no other software issues. I think I'm gonna tolerate it for now and try ADB commands first before rooting and installing a custom ROM if it becomes unbearable. As for Smart tutor, the customer assistants will probably be not much help. They're really not technical experts.
