seems like S8/+ has quite a few hardware issues, dont know its because of the unoptimized software between the OS and apps or memang hardware problem..

These are the prevalent issues so far (can be seen on reddit and xda of many users complaining about it):
1) S8/+ glass (front and back) very easy to pick up scratches compared to previous generations.
2) S8/+ fingerprint sensor also gets scratched easily (not glass)
3) S8/+ red-tint displays
4) S8/+ camera's OIS gets stuck quite often, have to shake the phone quite roughly in order to "unstuck" it.
5) S8/+ LED dying out of a sudden issue
6) S8/+ random sounds cuts from the speakers
7) S8/+ randomly rebooting.
8) S8/+ random vibrations after unlocking the phone via hard-pressing home button. (like it doesnt register immediately when you're pressing the home button to unlock, so the vibration comes later after u unlock the phone and touch anywhere on the screen)

then there's a plethora of software bugs between the OS and certain apps.
1) edge lighting not working with certain apps
2) facebook zooming in/out the wallpaper when exit the app
3) whatsapp LED notifications not working sometimes
4) whatsapp images received when open it, its zoomed a little.

Samsung's software feels to half baked. They only care about adding as much nonsense features as possible but never polish the software.

Hmmm, my experience with the S8 is quite the opposite actually. Of all the Samsung devices I've owned before, this one seems to be the best in terms of standby power consumption. Could it be something to do with Android Doze? Anyways, the standby time is not spectacular by any means, but for a 3000 mAh Android device from Samsung, this one has better battery performance compared to the Note 5 which I previously owned.

I'm using the S8+. I'm staying in a condo, and I unplug from charger before I get out of home, so it's fully charged 100%. By the time i reach condo carpark, already drop to 99%. By the time I reach office which is half hour away, 98%. Simply not acceptable. I'll let it settle for few more days, today ady 4th day using.

That's really strange. It's like a 1% drop in standby in less than 5 minutes? Mine doesn't drop that much and it's a regular S8 and not even an S8+.

Ya, doze like didn't kick it. I'll use gsam battery to monitor app usage.

Install GSAM battery monitor to trace down ur usage, simple as that. Never failed me in tracing my battery standby drain.

My primary battery standby drain due to bad telco (UMobile) reception.  doh.gif

Remember to to enable battery stat access for it.

Ya I've installed gsam but no root. Go back home use adb to grant access.
Ya I think poor reception could be one of the problems. But the native battery section in the settings app can't view sad.gif

That's why u need GSAM phone signal graph to trace on the telco signal. App battery drain is monitoring & controll by Samsung App power monitor so it won't make big impact.

Poor reception is not minor problem, it could drain ur battery faster than u can imagine compared to apps.  sweat.gif

Makes sense. I'll enable access when I get home tonight. Thanks for the tip!

Why keep checking. Don't check and removed all those nonsense battery checking apps. Use it as normal.

After few days you will notice it actually great in battery. You keep checking sure it get even worst as you keep turn the phone on and off for nothing include waste energy for those battery checking apps.

You notice or not seems only you complain on the battery performance now.

It learn your usage behaviour, if you keep on off for nothing, it can't learn.
*
I only use GSAM battery and it's proven to work quite well.
Because the native battery settings doesn't provide much detail about battery usage.
Maybe cuz I just got the phone so a bit paranoid keep checking haha hope it'll be better after a few days.

Btw, just wanna share a bixby remapping app called BixBye. It's much faster than other bixby remapping app, bixby won't even appear after the button is pressed, it'll go straight to the app you remap too.

here's the link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+...mapper-t3594528

Can include in the first page if want to.

I used that, but sometimes bixby still pops out. Basically what that app do is launch bixby, close bixby, open new app in quick succession.

I just use package disabler pro to just disable the bixby button. Down side is its just a useless button now lol.
*
Ya but it does that a lot faster than all the other bixby remapping apps.

I'm planning to buy the app too. What are the apps that you disabled?

dat app is old news & it wont be fast bcos it always hook to real Bixby app. same goes for other remapper.
use package disabler with cautious.
*
it's actually really fast, I don't even see bixby appearing. Other remapping apps will show bixby appear for a while and then disappear. But this bixbye one the bixby app langsung won't appear rclxms.gif

real bixby will popup occasionally especially in lockscreen mode & it goes slower when bixby need to relaunch once stopped by system or manually.

The standby time on my S8 plus is honestly terrible, every time I see my phone it'll drop 1% (like every 15 minutes). Planning to do a factory reset this weekend.
