3h screen on time on S20+

[EmersonHaensel]

Hi, everyone,

I'm wondering who else only gets about 3 hours of screen on time on the galaxy S20+.

I'm not doing heavy stuff. Just the usual day to day use.

you should post a screenshot of your battery usage stats

[EmersonHaensel]

I just added the screenshot. I think it's dumb that it starts a new cycle everyday at 12 a.m. So we have to take off 40min of my todays screen on time. Today a I got more than 3 but its usually around 3 - 3½

Is this the first week with the s20+? And also no dark mode on? 😟

[EmersonHaensel]

No, it's the 3rd week and I only use dark mode at night and 120hz is always on. I tested it with 60hz. It's actually not that big of a difference but still...😐

Yes I agree that the battery usage stats were better previously - Being able to see the SOT over the total time since the last full charge was more useful.

With the battery in your device - You SHOULD definitely be getting a lot more than 3 hours of SOT!

Check that you have Battery Optimization enabled & FYI - Social Media apps like WhatsApp - FB - IG want to run continuously in the background & are known to be battery "killers".

Try using Night Mode as well as it can improve the battery life per charge.

Okay, alright. Thank you very much. I've had battery optimization already on but I put all my social media apps "on sleep" maybe that will help. Thanks for your help

I much preferred this Battery Usage Stat.

on my note 10+...
EmersonHaensel are you sure you have tried 60hz at least for a 1 time full discharge of the battery.
Also, have you set adaptative battery and optimize function like on those pictures
