Pravdan36, 07 Mar 2024When was the S22fe launched 🤔Sorry I meant the S21 FE.

So, i would like your answers to my questions please.

      Anonymous, 05 Mar 2024i do not have any problem. SOT 6 hours. So, you're telling me you don't have issues with your S21 FE? For how long have you had your phone? Have you turned on battery saving mode? Interested to know your answers.
      Right now my SOT have increased to more than 4 hours. I've also noticed the battery life has somewhat increased to 3-5% on top of the numbers i mentioned earlier. And that is without battery saving on, doing almost the same thing i did the previous day. So, do you think the battery usage is balancing out and getting better?

          Anonymous, 05 Mar 2024LowI thought so.
          I also totally agree. The S21 FE battery can be a lot better optimised even after everything i have done. I don't know what else to do to be honest.
          Either i return the phone to the reseller on eBay, sell it outright on eBay for a higher asking price or trade-in for an old Samsung S23/S23+ or a Xiaomi 14?

              So, as it stands i charge my phone to 100% overnight whilst wifi is connected.
              Without power saving mode turned on these are my stats:
              0600 - 100%
              0900 - 88% after listening to a 25 minute podcast, looking for news/weather/ebay/social media
              13.00 - 73% after watching 30 minutes of the news on Youtube
              16.00 - 61% finishing work
              19.00 - 40% after listening to another 25-minutes of a podcast, watching news on Youtube, social media, eBay, etc.
              21.00 - As of writing this it's now down to 25% watching 30 minutes of Youtube (phone reviews), music and news on YT and writing notes. I did not do any gaming, long video streaming or any video editing.
              Screen on time is just over three hours.
              Any thoughts on these?

I do check the apps that I have downloaded, deleted and disabled the apps that I do not need and use often, I make sure the battery options is set to "Optimized", etc.
                  I heard that Adaptive display (or Auto brightness) does help? I thought it's the opposite?
                  I also heard something about turning off Google Ads Services?

Samsung and Android apps are known for the too high background activity on every Android phone. Only: Viber, Gmail, Drive, Reminder, and Mobile Services are in default mode. I do not have any problem using all those apps while they are in deep sleep mode. I tested it for a year.

                    I do not use dark mode, not even at Samsung internet's google search engine.
                    I do use a blue light filter, i.e. Comfort Eye Shield because I look too much to screen over the day. Also, because of high default light screen brightness, I use it at 40%. Mobile data and WiFi are simultaneously always on. Battery easily lasts a day with around 6 hours of screen on time. When I do not use phone a lot it goes to even a day and a half. It is Snapdragon variant 6, 128.

                      So far, I've noticed the standby seems great. But when just doing basic tasks such as browsing, watching Youtube, looking at the news/weather, downloading apps the battery drops almost significantly I would say. I would say 1% per 5 minutes. I will have to observe more in the next few days as the phone is still learning my usage patterns.
                      FYI, I'm on the latest One UI 6.0, Battery saving turned Off and have turned off all unnecessary settings that we all know what they are.
                      Any thoughts?
