cannot be helped, you're the only one complaining about battery life.

A lot here have advised you not to focus on the battery life for the moment, but yet. If you cant help yourself, neither can we.

Furthermore, you are using s8+, the battery is more than capable to last a person a full day even with gaming involved. But you still focus on the battery drain of it when idling..

Go ahead and do the factory reset, hope you will find an improvement after doing that. If you still unhappy, guess the S8+ is not the phone for you.

Actually I check a few person on XDA also complaint about standby time. I'm normally not that particular about battery, but maybe cause I have AOD turned on so I can keep seeing the battery decreasing.

I used smart switch to transfer from iPhone 7 Plus when I set up my new S8+, so that might cause some problem. Will reset the phone tonight or tomorrow.

Still the same ? I tried disable my 2nd sim this morning.the battery life is much more better. Unplugged this morning @7am.2 hours sot on whatapps ,facebook,internet browser and wechat. Left 78%. Customized power saving mode with 1440p.Aod and gps off. Yea you should try to do a factory reset.

Yes it's still the same. When I first commented about my battery here about 20 minutes ago, my battery already drop 3 person without me even touching or using it sad.gif

Will try resetting tonight.

After enabled battery stat still can't figure which section drain ur battery? Placebo effect? I found AOD in S8 is draining more compared to S7E & Note7 that I have used before.

If 2%/H still consider OK for AOD on in standby mode.

Reset ur phone sure help at first, but after u setup & install all the apps that u wanted then same scenario came back. I tried this 3 times until I give up & let it be. Who knows it learns to control well now...  doh.gif

Also, u can also try to reset battery gauge using dialer on code *#0228#, see whether it helps or else?
*
It's definitely not placebo effect cuz I can see it decreasing when I look at the screen (AOD on). GSAM battery shows Android System the highest yesterday, with TMD4906 Proximity Sensor awake for a lot of the time, dunno what sensor is that.
Mine is 2% every 20 minutes not 2% per hour haha
Ya I think cause when I used smart switch to transfer apps/files from iOS some files might be causing problems. Hope factory resetting will fix it, or else i'll just learn to live with it lol

Either way it's odd, never happened when I was using my Note 5 so it's leading me to think it's only happening on S8/S8+ devices.

it's a bug with the FB app, I've had this bug since day 1.

Use custom launcher that supports gestures, the only one I can confirm have that feature is Nova launcher because that's the only one I've ever used, you can find it on Play store along with other launchers because surely other launchers have that feature too.

EDIT: Nova Launcher Prime(paid version) is required for gestures to work, if you want a free one with single swipe gesture available you can try Apex Launcher(paid version required only if you want to use double swipe gestures).

Nova Launcher is awesome, I bought the Prime version for only RM1 during promotion rclxms.gif

Yeah, something must have farked up my battery during the first setup. Maybe because I use smart switch to transfer files and apps from my iPhone.

That's great!
The results based on wifi or LTE or mix of both?
Turn on AOD, BT, location, sync etc?

Data and Wifi both on most of the time, AOD On, Location High Accuracy, Sync On, Bluetooth off.
It's pretty good I feel, hope it gets even better rclxms.gif

The battery on the S8+ is honestly a beast. After resetting and wiping my phone I'm now constantly getting through the day with around 50% left with 2 hours SOT. Before resetting I can barely get through the day lol
