Damn, my S8+ still consume 12% when I going to sleep
11.30pm batt 100%. Wakeup at 6am batt is at 88%
Normal usage seems less consume power
I suspect some app might backup using wifi while I'm sleeping
suspected culprit is whatsapp backup...
try to disable the auto backup now
*
u damn good already...
mine

12am - 7.10am, from 100% become 66%

Quite reasoanable considering 15 hours standby time. Battery usage depends heavily on how you use your phone.
No you cant transfer but Samsung will still honour the warranty.

i dun think got anything call transfer, as the warranty is follow the phone and not the person who buy the phone.

The warranty is actually registered under your name during purchase.

actually they just record who is the buyer only.
when warranty time, they will just see the imei, dun care who bring or what ever.

just a question.

someone scared of those pixels burned out.
some scare the battery cannot last long and disable many functions.
some reduce the brightness to barely can see to save battery.
some disable the AOD display to prevent burned out and some for battery life.
some disable many functions of the phone to save the few % of battery.

the question is, why do u all buy the phone?
pay so much but do not fully enjoy it or use all those functions?

my phone, all GPS, Bluetooth is always on. so i able to enjoy the full function of the phone.
my Display brightness is set to the high side, cause my eyes is more value than that battery life.

no offence, but because we would like our device to last 3 years without issues instead of 3 months. Battery health is determined by how many charge cycle, the less you use, the longer it could be use before deteriorating. Display burn in are real in S8, at least for now. I dont know if they are temporary burn in or permanent, but at this stage where nothing is confirmed, people are taking it safe to make sure we dont get annoyance that doesnt allow us to fully enjoy our phones after few months

no offence, but how to enjoy the phone when in the first place, already put so many restrictions on the phone?

all phone design to last 18 months to 2 years only.

nowadays, phone do never enter service centre within 1 year = lucky.
still alive after 2 years, untung already.

if can't afford, get a cheaper phone.

else create trouble to own self.

as what people say, use money buy trouble.

for battery health, this is the funniest part.
if like this, better buy 3310, can last years.

normal usage, battery like will degrade and left 80% or lesser after the first-year usage.
after 2 years, the battery is like half dead.

because the need to take care of the battery health, pay rm3699 and use only 5% of the phone function and pray the phone does spoil. really cannot brain this.

I dare not say for others but personally, I'm well aware of the multitude of features this beast has and I chose to use/activate as when I need it rather than all the time.

So I guess it's all about personal preference on how it's being used  icon_rolleyes.gif

sorry for any heavy wording....

i agree with personal.


really depend how people wanna use it.

for me, i would just on all and care free.
when i need to pay using android pay or samsung pay, i just tap my phone without need to go on this and off that.

when i open map, instant i get the location and use it without need to go on the gps and so on.

when i use apps like uber, i can just open the apps a request the car without set this and that.

when i reach home, it auto connected to my wifi without this and that.

the best is, when i with my phone, i do not need to unlock the phone as it auto unlock by my bluetooth miband 2.

this is why i pay the rm3699 and enjoy use all the functions plus ease my daily life.

it depends though, some of them are not really restriction but habit, like some of my friend would turn off GPS when not using waze, cos it also prevents apps from sniffing your location, and bluetooth as well, when they are not using so that their bluetooth dont go scanning the area every once in a while, or accidentally got connected to other devices.

For myself, what I did was what you did. Nothing, I enjoyed the phone as it is, and testing here and there to see battery life. The only thing I'm more cautious with is the screen brightness, where I only set 'just enough'. For video, the video enhancer feature helps me automatically bump up the brightness, so I dont need to manage that as well.

but just saying that there are people that wants to make sure their phone last them 3-4 years. I certainly do as well, so I'm paying attention on potential problems and gathering information. Once it is legit, I'll see what I can do to reduce the risk

also, to me, a lot of feature are great, and I'll use it when i need them, but rather not turn them on all day long. Most of the good features are just a couple of gestures away anyways, it's accessible enough for me, at least

try do not set too low for brightness, as it does more harm to eyes...

cause when brightness low, ur eyes pupil need to open larger in order to view the display.
because of this, more UV will enter ur eyes that harm ur eyes.

I think you quote wrong person

I bought all samsung S1 to S8 (4 units S4 precisely)
All samsung note series N1 to N7
All iphone from iphone 2G,3G,3GS,4,5,5S,6,6S,6S+ to Iphone 7+ (4 units iphone 4 precisely)

And I used handphone since malaysia handphone not using sim card.
(I believe this time you still in your diapers or still sperm)

want me to add more??
some of us here can afford vertu, but still low profile,

Asking about power consumption did not make someone stupid
We try to find what is the culprit make the phone alive when we are sleep
Maybe app corrupted when we do the installations,
If you have an idea you can give your opinions
If no idea, better not to post anything that offend others..

That what the forum are, to share the knowledge
Not to show arrogant or to show stupidity.

i not talking about u not afford to buy la, i just quote the person quote me only.

someone share it online.. i copy and paste here...
no idea share before at here or not.. smile.gif

Jus to share my test results on different charger + Type-C cable combi on S8+ at abt 44-45% battery life:

Wireless charging
1. Samsung charger + Samsung/LG/Remax cable = Fast charging wirelesssly 1h 33m to full
2. Aukey PT-16 QC3.0 charger + Samsung/LG/Remax cable = Charging wirelessly 2h 3m to full

Wired charging
1. Samsung/Aukey charger +
Samsung/LG cable = Fast charging 1h 2m to full
2. Samsung/Aukey charger + Remax cable = Slow charging 3h 42m to full
3. Samsung/Aukey charger +
another Remax micro usb/type-c combo cable = Fast charging 1h 2m to full

Conclusion:
1. Wireless charging - only original Samsung charger fast charges
2. Wired charging - both chargers fast charge but depends on the cable; the cable does matter!
