If so, then why are you making so much noise? You knew it's an open forum.
We are just trying to figure out what is causing the battery drain issue. 4 hours is your requirement, doesn't mean everyone has the same requirement as you.
Lowyat is a tech forum. If not us, who else want to discuss these?

Oh. So you mean you can give advice and others cannot la? Which made your whole argument more irony in the first place.

The reason I was telling you off is because you are stopping people from discussing about battery. Then you resort to name calling after you couldn't justify why did you do so. What's your intention here actually?

Last night, I had managed to make the battery drain only 4% overnight with WiFi ON but Aeroplane mode ON (i.e. no mobile network). Before that was ~9%. Need to monitor a few nights.

Sure.

On mobile network? That's remarkable.

Not bad at all. The ultra wide-angle lens gives a new perspective.

IMHO, it's the other way round. I find some S10 users cannot accept criticism about the phone at all, even if it's based on factual finding.

For me, there is nothing wrong at all pointing out the weaknesses. And there is no bad product. Only bad price. IMHO, for the pre-order free gifts factored in, it's a grear deal. And the price we get here is already lower than a lot of places.

But then, no phone is perfect. If users come here to expect all roses, then it's plain wrong.

About iPhone and Huawei....well you do notice there are a few forummers here who have or had a few flagship phones but they are just steady. Didn't dwell with these name calling.

Probably is Optimize Settings enabled under Battery -> Settings?

I think it's not Bixby. It's the Exynos LTE modem.

Mine has no Bixby setup at all and if I enabled Aeroplane mode but with WiFi ON, it's around 4-5% overnight. If both WiFi and mobile network ON, it's 12%.

It's similar when it's in used. When I was outside browsing on LTE network, it used up like 10% of battery for 25mins of SOT. On WiFi, it's almost 50mins of SOT for 10% battery.

Sensitive q here.

hehehe
Anyway jokes aside, read my reply above. That's my take so far.
I have an S10. LTE: ~4 hours SOT. WiFi: ~8 hours (extrapolated value from SOT/percentage rate because I never really finish the battery purely on WiFi)

Celcom here. I didn't notice the temp is high for light browsing.

Not an imagination. S10 series maintains the fast charging speed longer than S8 and S9.

S10 fast charging up to ~82%: https://www.devicespecifications.com/en/edi...eview/d1fc9b/10

S9 fast charging up to ~73% only: https://www.devicespecifications.com/en/edi...eview/b9e76e/11

Samsung made improvement with the S10 battery I guess. They control the charging rate from the phone, not the adapter.

Have u thought of seeing a psychiatrist to get an OCD diagnosis and cure?

What happen to the D600 exposure and dynamic range?

Hehe agreed. DSP in smartphone's SOC is way ahead of camera. Actually Sony is not smart in fully utilize their mobile division's expertise. Imagine DSLR with all these fancy algorithms.

Very smart move actually. They don't have to pay these artists as ambassador but at the same time lending their spotlights!

What a bummer. Sorry to hear that.
I had sold three units of Buds, all sealed and didn't open in front of buyers. Luckily no issue.

That actually has some truths and logic in that decision. I mean if you are the Alpha division director, you would also afraid non-Professionals slowly ditching DSLR altogether for smartphone if the smartphone can do a lot of things DSLR could. To me, they should have done both ways. If Alpha benefits from incorporating ARM processor inside, it will take them to even greater heights and hence no need to worry about Alpha market got eroded.

It's been removed. I couldn't find it as well yesterday. It was there last week I remember.

You are confused between distortion and blur. Both are not the same thing.
Without looking at the pic, my suspect is it's shoot in f/1.5 which does not have all area lens sharpness.
Not sure you guys are aware or not, most lens actually does not have full sharpness in all area. Normally the middle will be sharp and it will fall off at the side.

My battery yesterday was really bad. Started from 91%:



Will try this. No wonder the phone sometime feels warm.

The screen is the SOT. 56 mins for 50% battery....

Did you enable Adaptive battery?

Didn't know WhatsApp notification still works if limit the background activity. Will try it out!
Having said that, my other recent phones (u can check my signature) didn't have these issue at all, except S8. Lol...

The screenshot I showed just now was during day. Overnight, my phone used to drain only 5%. But lately it's coming back to 10%. Not sure what went wrong.

Yesterday was Playstore. I noticed it's very high. Ran 19 hours + at background since 12AM. Means it's running all the time!
I stopped AOD. Cleared Play Store service cache and partition cache. It seems to stop already.

Having said that, my P20 Pro never had this issue.


Huawei phone sleeps very well.

My WhatsApp seems to be back to normal today.
BTW mine is S10. Yours is S10+?

My battery wasn't that great even before using AOD; slightly below 4 hours SOT max for LTE dual SIM. I enabled AOD with "tap to show". Not even with scheduled viewing. I have now totally disabled that.

I don't know if there's any other way to know incoming notification. It's frustrating.

Exynos :-P

How do you cope with Chrome sync for tabs, password and history?

I do not carry my charger or power bank with me all the time. As per my previous phones. Might as well use a land phone if need to attach to a power adapter or bank.

For me, it must be able to last at least one office day with ~5 hours of SOT for mobile network. Now my phone is not able to. Yesterday only 1 hour SOT per 50% battery.

I don't see what's wrong with the battery discussion. It's obviously something is not normal with S10 series if so many people been discussing it.

I think the thread starter can make a poll whether we should make a new thread to discuss only battery and power optimization outside this thread...since they are people who cannot take it.

Only the S10 series. But since you are against it, we will stay here.

The key here is "someone." Not a bunch of Mate 20 users.

S10 lol. I think something wasn't right. WhatsApp and Google Play Service (background) usage was very high.
Here are what I did after yesterday's issue:
1) Disabled AOD. Before that was only AOD display on touch.
2) Cleared Google Play Service cache and phone cache partition.
3) Had to reboot toe clear the cache partition. Coincidentally fixed the Exynos unable to deep sleep after charge issue.
4) I put all unused apps to "rare" in Dev options-> Standby Apps.
5) Disabled some apps in Dev options->Background check. Some apps I don't even know what they are doing. So pretty much trial and error here.

Have not tried adhell. Will look into it tonight.

One thing that I think I made a mistake since the beginning is to use Android restore from backup. I did not use smart switch but I restore all the apps from Google backup. Probably that's the culprit.

Today seems to be much better. 40 mins SOT on LTE used 16% of battery. That's like 4 hours for 100% based on extrapolation.
