Because having battery issues is trendy...
Hellow there. Let's cut to the chase. My trusty S7 has chosen to take part in the battery drain trend, without my consent. Used to last me longer... It would be great if anyone could help me.
Note that the M1 cores do enter sleep mode as I pointed out last time. Rest assured, cache clearing from the Recovery boot menu is a step I have taken on multiple occasions.
There's a screenshot of the battery usage screen enclosed, but is in French so here's a translated version.
1- Screen (3h33 SOT) 23%
2- Android System 16%
3- System UI (AOD) 8%
4- Device Idle 7%
5- Android OS 6%
6- Light Manager 5% (this is normal though)
7- audioserver 3%
8- mediaserver 2%
9- media.codec ( I assume HW decoding from watching very high quality, high compression videos) 2%
10- Cell Standby 2%
11- S Internet 1%
The only really unusual part is the Android System part. And you know, only 3 hours SOT. 10be0f8c-052d-4a22-88a3-4084cbfacad2.jpg

Well, IP68 and removable batteries can be had simultaneously. S5's the proof. The real choice is premium design vs removable battery.

Question, I was going through every setting on me S8+ for god only knows the hundredth time. This time I went into developer options. This time I noticed something that was enabled by default but never was before. Do either of you have this setting enabled as well? If I'm guessing right this would more than likely contribute to a large battery drain. Time will tell 🤞

Hum, I would gladly tell you if this setting was enabled, but there's a hundred of these things. Could you be a little more specific?

@LazyGhost - Do what you want, but encouraging people to commit Fraud is wrong - plain & simple.

Cry me a River. Lately you hsve become the forum BULLY. If someone doesn't agree with you then you get high and mighty, condescending, and terse. If you're such a tech wizard wtf aren't you working at Samsung on the software development team? I hate being a prick but you are exactly what I said. Do not communicate with me again. Your solutions are copy/paste right from Redddit. Even at that I still wish you a good evening and such.

Hey @LazyGhost. I know you are mad at him . But bro this isn't the best way to deal. He has a different view of the thing. Don't get me wrong I am supporting no one here. This is the only place where you can discuss your views and problems related to Samsung products. So please don't argue on these little issues. Thanks🙂

I don't know call me crazy but I find that controlling apps running in the background in power management really helps, because if you look at what is causing battery drain it doesn't show anything about apps running in the back, sense I have been controlling that my battery level have been stabilizing.
