Hi I came from Xperia T2 Ultra usually get around 8-10 hrs sreen.on time with lowest brightness, no auto sync, stamina mode on + queue background, browsing all the time, playing some games around 10-30 min Aspahlt 8, no location on no scanning.wifi.even.when.off, watching youtube with 80%-100% sound @360-720p with facebook or facebook lite turn on sometimes, wifi on all the times and mobile network set ti gsm only. Is this possible with Xperia Z2? Or even.greater with the same.usage? I usually get 1 hr + screen.on time with 10% depleting on my battery so estimate is 1hr+ scrren.on time = 10% battery depletion. Thanks, sorry for bad English. I really like Z2 so maybe its better than Z3. Right now I'm on 75% Battery with 3 hrs and 13 seconds screen on time I did not play Asphalt 8 at this day yet.
The answer is no. You can't get this because z2 is much more powerful device, where performance = power consumption.
I usually get 15-18% of battery usage per hour (depending on rom).
However playing asphalt will drain the battery very fast.
Expect 5h+ sot time.
PS. I don't play games on the phone.
Of course to achieve similar results you could limit cpu frequencies.

Well some people seem to got 8-9 SOT and GSMArena rated Web Browsing at 11hr and.32 vs T2 @12hr and 12min. If I apply same usage will I achieve a little less.or equally SOT? If onlg Web.Browsing.plus my settings? Thanks. I think Z2.is a.really big step up from Z1. I had Z1 once.it was given.to me the device I waited for 2 yrs was.lose good thing I was Alright thank God.
EDIT:I also have off my Xperia and Android dev management only on was Enterprise. Lanhs usage of T2 Ultra from Android Authority he got 6.5 hrs SOT on my phone.

Of course if you apply all those power saving settings you will get better results, but as long as you won't limit your cpu frequency you can't expect such a good results, because the phone uses 2.27ghz very often when you browse Internet.

Which has better screen on time? Xperia Z3 or Z2? Well for me I like the Z2 overall. Escpecially the light bar notification. Whats your usage on Z2 on that 5SOT? Because of GSMarenas battery test which is very close to my T2 Ultra I think Z2 is twice better than Z1 based on results. and a total of Z2 is 89h vs my T2 96h vs Z1 53h.

I can't speak about z3 because I don't own this device, but it will probably have the same battery life as it has almost the same specs.
For me it's mostly browsing Internet, sometimes listening to music, visiting xda, etc. but not playing games, and in this way I can easily get 5h+ sot.
I had z1 long time ago and the battery life was almost the same, however I wouldn't recommend z1.

I was very sad when I heard that. Almost the same as Z1? Thats very sad. Many people said battery life has greatly improved on the Z2. And most tests proved that Screen on time has greatly improved. Thats why I was amaze at Z2 even at Sony's website. Video playback has greatly increased. And GSM tests also proved that without underclocking. Do you think Sony will still repair the Xperia Z2 after 2 yrs???
I can get nearly of 7 and on WiFi 8 hours of screen, I use Greenify with Xposed, I hibernate everything except systems apps and Whatsapp, stamina mode on all the time, see image attached

Can you get 10hrs screen on time if you do my usage? I usually get 8-10hrs at 20% left on my T2 Ultra. I think with almost similar results of T2 Ultra and Z2 at GSMAarena I think its possible with Z2. Well my T2 Ultra drains faster if I have 3G and LTE. On. I want Z2 cause its cheaper and gorgeous.

Maybe Z2 could get those results, or nearly, I got 8 hours using WiFi, was using 3G only, a few minutes LTE, then everything it's almost the same as your configuration, except sync, that I have activated, but just Google contacts, Whatsapp, and Firefox... Then like I said before, I use Greenify, Xposed (for use boost option on Greenify), everything is hibernated except Whatsapp and system apps, full debloated brightness auto on, set it minimum in auto, Z2 has more mAH than Z3

Well with this settings I usually got this SOT. Well today I got from 95% to 94% in battery within 8 minutes so 1% = 8min of SOT while google chrome browsing with wifi ONLY no other activities just browsing. No Youtube yet. With youtube only I got 89% to 88% in 5:30-6 minutes. @ 360p and 70% volume I think with 12/15 volume. Well with my cousins Z3, I got 1% = 8-9 minutes in Web Browsing and 5:30-6minutes in Youtube like my T2. With same settings Z3 was able to achieve what my T2 can. I wonder how Z2 will fare? I dont know if my test are going to be consistent but in what I test earlier that was the result.

I think Xperia Z2 can do the same whike.browsing? Compared to my old lost Z1 which even witbout wifi It drains drastically. Even with reflashed firmware. I saw someone said that he drains 1% in 8-9minutes from his Z2 with his screen on.

That depends on your activity actually. There are 3 main power hogs in this (or any other Android) device:
1. Display Brightness
2. Mobile Data
3. GSM Signal Quality
Small Screen does not matter much, because the pixel count is the same with Arc. it is how bright the back light you set the display in. Mobile data should be turned down if unnecessary. And if the quality of 2G/3G is not good, it will drain your battery too.
For my case, when still stock, my Ray can survive about 1.5 day (texting, browsing for 1 hour a day, brightness at the lowest, no data connection when unneeded). If you use it too much, 12 hour is my best bet. Now after doing some overclocking, it is still the same case, but if i do some intense task (game, browsing large page) the battery might be lasting about 10 hours. If i use it like usual, maybe i can get about 1 day only.
My battery lasts about 15-20 hours, with modest phone usage.
Settings: wifi on, BT on, auto-sync. on, GPS on., data on
Activities per day :
-About 45 minutes phonecalls
-about 5 SMS
-internet activity max. 1 hour (browsing)
I really like this phone, but also I'm a little scared to actually use it as I "see" my battery indicator count down percent by percent while using the phone.
Today I dimmed the display some more, hopefully that helps a bit.

LOL that's true
I get around 24 to 40 hours on my Ray. And here's what I did:
0 to 20 texts a day(if there is anyone to text to)
2hrs music
0 to 5mins using the camera
20mins games
2mins calls(if there is anyone to call to)
my phone is rooted
Hi ,
I am very much satisfied with battery life of this phone... Its the best amongst all the Android phones in world...
I have used several different phones but all gave me less timings...
For me it lasts 22 hrs after
3 hours web browsing
30 min calls
5-6 text messages
Display ON time of about 6 hours
Wifi ON all time
Facebook sync ON
No Data, No GPS
I had HTC Sensation previously and that used to give me half the time i mentioned
I am kinda satisfied with it... If i use it lightly, it sure would do more than 2 days
The first 50% drops quicker than the last 50. .
New battery aka new phone would need a few charge & discharge cycle before it get to optimum performance.
Last weekend I manage to get nearly 2 days of battery life. Of course with minimal usage with WiFi always on, only a few call of the day and about 30 min on internet. Most of the time phone in idle.
FYI, i'm on stock rom

from our 4pda.ru guys (8 days of real use) (not my shot):
now I not find it but was a shot with 10 days.
I also believe that it has got thing to do with the new battery. It will be better for sure.

Around 1,5 days with
1-1,5 hour gaming (PES 2012)
few calls
Data on
No autosync
Wifi around 5-8 hour
Music 30 min...

Quite happy hear, almost 23 hours of heavy usage, 3G, WiFi, Calls, Internet, 2 email accounts, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Battery is still on 29%... Good ray!
2 Day's now and still 65% Battery.
Wifi= 20min. max. (router in same room)
auto-sync.= off
GPS= off
Bt= off
SMS= 3 received/ 4 send
Call= 4 (2-3min.)
Display Brightness= Enabled Automatic Light Sensor [Mod]
No mobile data service.
Phone is 4 to 5 months and rooted.
Well, running Cm7 FXP54(? Dont know exactly anymore; the first version with working flash) I get ~24 hours with medium usage (GPS tunerd on but no activity; 20 Minutes Browsing, ~5 Minutes calls, a lot of Whatsapp LED blinking; I would equal the Whatsapp usage with 20 SMS).
At first I wrote and thought low usage... Well I was wrong
I noticed a big improvement after installing easy battery save. It seems that i will be able to have my ray going for 5 days. Until now i was happy to have it going 48 hours
I'm running FXP103.

Poor Ray battery life
I have a new Ray ST18a (american version) with AT&T and running the .62 firmware, and i have very poor battery life. Compared to some of the numbers I've seen in the above thread, I only use my phone moderately:
- 2-3 Hours music,
- maybe 20 text messages a day
- about 10 mins. worth of phone calls
- 30 minutes of web browsing
- bluetooth on (no devices connected) and
- GPS on (though hardly ever use)
and my battery has yet to last 14 hours on a full charge. If I charge to 100% before bedtime, and leave it on overnight, it has decreased about 50% without being 'used' at all - it is only in standby mode. I have noticed that in the battery usage screen - 'Cell Standby' is the dominant user - and it claims to have 'Time Without Signal' up to 50%. I've read in various places that this is a bug, but it is a serious battery drain on my phone. I have an AT&T 3G Microcell in my living room, so I have very good signal strength, and yet it still claims to be without signal upwards of 50% of the time.
Has anyone experienced anything like this? Can anyone suggest any other methods of troubleshooting?
I have tried various frequency switching methods (GSM only / WCDMA preferred / auto, and other permutations) - Nothing seems to help. I am wondering if it is a hardware problem, however the phone seems to work just fine, with the exception of battery drain.
Hello,
I'm an happy X10 owner since November 2010. Since then my phone has been intensively used. Hundreds of ROM changes, daily use. It has been charged everyday.Now I'm on Donout HD2, with unlocked bootloader without overclocking. After all this time the battery life gone crazy. For e.g. I'm not able to watch one movie because after one hour the battery is almost empty (on lowest brightness). I remember that ~1/2 Year ago I was able to watch a whole movie and the battery was more than 60% left (I'm using MX Player). It's weird, specially because my brother uses the same video player and his battery usage is below 10% after whole movie(SGS II). There is also weird thing that the phone is doing> After I use it intensively and turn off the screen and leave it for some time the battry gets loaded (+ 1-15%). The problem exists only when I have screen turned on (battery gets very warm). Today I've watched Youtube for ~15min (using WIFI) and I had to stop it, because the battery got from 45% to 15%. Of course I have some programs running in the background (musicXmatch,ProximityScreenOff,Program TV,Profile Settings, Equalizer, Flip and Sleep, Clipper, Missed Reminder, KeepScreen, Callrecorder, Setxperia, BlingBoard, Thumb Keyboard + system processes).
So my question is:
-Is the ROM wrong (I don't think so)
-Some of the processes need more energy
-Is the battery old and I should replace it with a new one (That's what I'm thinking of)
Please share Your experience & suggestions.
Hi,
how many empty RAM do you have when phone boots up?
Also try installing CPUspy and run it for a day, an you will show how is phone under pressure. Also install CPUMaster, maybe changing CPU governor will help.
Main power comsumption is form CPU and display. I also have set it on one of the lowest levels, because of durability.
I had tried about ten different ROMs (dont count many versions of each one); but in most of them I observed little bigger power consumption then on my current. I chose Wolfbreak gaming and cleaned junk apps (more then he did ) and got great battery performance - about 2 - 3 days with standart usage, 1,5 day with high pressure.
"Problem" is caused only when screen is on because CPU is awake, but when screen off CPU automatically goes into deep sleep mode with tiny consumption
But in you case, install CPUspy, report it here and try to cut off some junk apps - there are a lot of them in any rom...

Same here mate. My phone is even older than yours. I got mine in June 2010 - so nearly 2 years old. I didnt change ROM's till 3 months back (only changed 3-4 times till now, am on X10S now). Dont use phone for anything other than calls, chatting on gtalk, whatsapp etc. That too not too much. But yes, battery has deteriorated like crazy. *Battery loses 1% for every minute screen is on*. mind you, this is on 40% brightness with auto brightness turned off. Only data connection on, bluetooth, wifi, gps turned off.
I wouldnt say i have really used my phone a lot. So battery deterioration is really weird. I have always had a doubt about the FPS Uncap, that it causes the screen to draw lot more power than when FPS was capped (i am assuming the FPS at 55 is achieved at a higher refresh rate than when FPS was capped at 30). I couldnt find any script to turn the FPS cap back on so that i could test this. so cant say for sure.
battery does the "back from the dead" trick on me too. Playing a game like PES, Fifa etc., sometimes phone dies when battery was still 22-23%. Then restart the phone and it stays on for 2 odd hours. Start game again, and it dies within minutes again. Once it went to 0% while playing a game. I tried to switch it on, it did.. and i left it as it is... after 30 minutes, i check the phone, battery has crawled back to 31%!! and then it stays on for nearly 4 hours after that.
Basically, the battery can go on for 1 day or slightly more on standby... but if u use the phone (duh!), its kaput.

Same here mate. My phone is even older than yours. I got mine in June 2010 - so nearly 2 years old. I didnt change ROM's till 3 months back (only changed 3-4 times till now, am on X10S now). Dont use phone for anything other than calls, chatting on gtalk, whatsapp etc. That too not too much. But yes, battery has deteriorated like crazy. *Battery loses 1% for every minute screen is on*. mind you, this is on 40% brightness with auto brightness turned off. Only data connection on, bluetooth, wifi, gps turned off.

Your battery seems to have other problem - needs to be recalibrated. In worse it needs to be replaced.
But firstly try things I have described above for jakuburban, it might help also.
Good luck!

Yes, I'll try all of them. I've set the CPU usage to ondemand (like I always had) and noticed one thing.
Whenever the screen gets on the CPU freq. gets to maximum (only when screen was on, doing nothing)

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And only after I turn off the screen it looks like that
That means that the CPU freq. is Maximum or minimum, nothing between that (rarely).
I'll provide more snapshots after longer usage
to jakuburban:
Wow, he we got it! Phone is on max frequency as possible all the time!
Also I cant see the deep sleep - could you test this:
- open CPUspy, tap form menu Reset timers
- use some task killer, kill all the application
- turn off the phone (not shutdown, only to disable screen) and leave it for few minutes
- after that turn on the phone and look into CPUspy if deep sleep was active. If not, we have second problem.
To fix it, do you have unlocked bootloader or you have custom kernel with standart bypass method?
BTW.: Wow, I am now the senior member ! I am getting older faster, than I thought

So here is Your answer. I've changed my kernel to DooMLorD and everything works better
Nice to sse that it is solved
Also recommend to change CPU governor to "interactive" - its the best between almost nolags in eg. movies and apps and wit acceptable battery consumption. But not sure if it is includedin this doomkernel,so simply look into CpuMaster and give a try
"ondemand" governor has more battery drain in most roms.

OK, the battery seems better. I've been using my phone all day long browsing the Internet and it was still more than 50% of battery.
Thanks guys, after changing to interactive i had the perfect combination of no lag and battery life! Thank you!
I've been using XDA for a while, I don't post very much because most of my questions are usually answered by reading up on whatever I need an answer to.
I've seen plenty of posts from users saying things like "Omg, got 10 Hrs of SOT today", but then never post again when someone asks how they achieve it.
I'm starting this thread so that members can post their battery stats with specific ROM, kernel settings, usage, and one of my favorite - SOT (Screen on time) I know results are entirely subjective to each person's use, location, etc, but seeing other people's setup still goes a long way.
Battery is probably the most important thing for me when it comes to my phone since I'm usually very busy and out all day without a charger (not that I don't appreciate performance along with it)
So hopefully this thread will help other people when it comes to getting an idea of what other users are running, how it's tuned and so on.
Please post screen shots of your general battery stats along with your screen on time, kernel settings, etc.

Wifi on all day when home, off when I'm out. Lots of texts, browsing, some Netflix through Chromecast, Pandora, some calls here and there.
Hope this helps, and feel free to ask any questions

Wow, I'm really starting to think there is just something wrong with my G2 or I've loaded some bad software on it [I've wiped, flashed, re-flashed, restored, factory restored, tried numerous things] yet I'm getting at the very best 4 1/2 hours of screen on time.
When using the phone on 4G for web usage, I get about 3 hours total SOT. Going to have to try something else I guess.
I'm running OptimusG3 1.4.1 w/ CloudyFA kernel. No greenify, GPS off and [and location services disabled entirely], bluetooth off, NFC off, etc.
Any tips or advice? [Can't post links yet so it won't let me post the screen shot of my GSAM results but I'm showing the following with 67% remaining:
Used 33% in 7h 24m ∆4.5%/h - 2h 13m Active

i will post tomorrow as i just had to re root my phone as the nexus 5 ported rom screwed up my whole phone but cant wait to compare
My G2 which I use as a reserve phone now gets 5.5-6.5 hours SOT occasionaly I can squeeze 7 hours, I mostly surf the web and play Fruit Ninja.

I've noticed some phones play better with AOSP while others to better with Stock. I find LG software atrocious so it's only AOSP for me.
Here'e the rest of my discharge:
No undervolting or kernel tweaks. I dont even know what half of the settings do

That's awesome SOT. What ROM are you using?
Well Sprint puts bloat but I can still get to about 6-7 hrs SOT on stock.
I get about 5-6 Hrs SOT on CloudyG3, which I currently use.

Hi man, what do you think about liquidsmooth? Have you faced any problems with the camera/anything else?
How do you like it? I'm thinking about installing it on my G2 as my daily driver.
Running liquid smooth. Only issue with ROM for me is camera with flash on photos will come out white.

The LiquidSmooth Milestone 3.2 is hands down the best AOSP ROM I've used on any phone period. I honestly can't think of any issues at all. The Developer Rev3nt3ch is one of the best, he squashed virtually every bug you can think of. Go ahead and give it a try, I think you'll like it.
anyone using unrooted kitkat stock rom here ? kindly share ur on screen time and usage.
i am rooted deleted all crap apps freeze all things i dont use even system things like music, slide aside etc etc.
no games at all only whatsapp fb sometimes no camera usage no music and everytime its on wifi 5ghz only single user me to that wifi and if not wifi then only 2g
still i am getting only 3 hour on screen time with
is my battery faulty ????????
Running CM11 with furnace 2.5.1 with greenify, google now turned off, and appops keeping a lot of things from waking up or keeping the phone awake. I'm pretty proud of this!
Few reports of battery life not as good on the BOE devices, let's try and get a better picture of what's happening.
I now have a BOE.
While I can get through a day of good usage I'm sure it was better on my first device with an LG screen.

How do you know the manufacturer of the screen?
I didn't expect their to be a difference in battery life between the two devices due to screen manufacturing. However I replaced my device with a BOE screen. This is day one for me and I will monitor and see how things end up in terms of battery life. The screen quality is much better though with the BOE

Andriod noob here. I feel i have the same issue.
My last phone was a iphone x, used phone clone to transfer pictures and contacts to my new mate20pro.
Installed all the apps i needed and i instantly loved the phone, fast and so much battery life. I didnt mess with any battery settings, wifi and 4g always on, brightness auto, auto updates and highest screen res.
I was watching twitch for like 4 hours straight and used very little battery.
Unfortunatly i had a LG screen and got the green edges. So i got a new phone with BOE screen (checked with the hw app) . Transfered everything via phone clone and i instantly felt like something was wrong. I really feel like the battery is draining fast. Turned off auto updates and been messing around with the app launch settings. Just installed gsam battery monitor pro. Will post picture. Any help is welcome.

Hm, AnandTech review suggested that LG panel have high standby power use.
My new BOE Mate 20 pro has the same battery life of the previous 6 LG ones. 8hrs SOT to 10 depending on useage.
I'm still not convinced I'm getting anywhere near the same battery time.
I've got 5hrs SOT + 1hr 45 of Talk time and I'm down to 23%. Wish I had recorded either of my previous returns (LG) to compare against.

It wouldn't make so much difference..
Screen on time with 43% battery left, used GPS for 30 minutes, 20 minutes of YouTube, Slotomania game for 30 minutes. 3 short phone calls.
Pretty amazing I think.
Today's usage, been watching YouTube, and 3 hours of tv shows with Huawei video player. ?
Have you changed any settings or apps out of box? I barely got 7 hours today just browsing and YouTube with a few camera shots and 30 min talk time... Seems definitely lower than my LG screen. Oh and which resolution are you using? I'm full quad HD highest res possible.

How can I do that?
Well, my experience is the same. I had two LG screen Mate 20 pro units and while the green glow was a nightmare, I never had any issues with battery life. I was surprised that the battery test result on GSM Arena was not good at all...
Then I got my replacement phone with BOE screen and while the screen is ok compared to the "green lantern" LG screen, it goes nowhere near the two devices I had in terms of battery life. The standby drain is enormous, screen on time only around 3-4 hours and the features most draining the battery is mobile signal and wifi and screen in hardware. I needed no optimization with my 2 LG units, while I hibernate apps here when screen off, I also switched off autosync, but still my standby drain overnight (approx. 6-7 hours) is about 12-16 per cent, which is another nightmare considering how majority of reviews boasted with super amazing battery life - and every reviewer got a Boe screen version of the phone I reckon, at least in our country. When I take it off the charger, I lose a percent every 5-7 minutes I have the screen on. I do not get it but it is a real disappointment. Today I switched off automatic 4g-3g-2g because my signal at home is rather poor, but I did not do anything with the LG unit and when I charged to 100 before I went to bed, I woke up 7 hours later with still 100...
Hello,
I was wondering how happy you guys are with your S21 battery life?
I used a Huawei P30 Pro before. When going to bed, I usually had 30% battery left.
With my S21, I now usually charge at 7PM. I cannot imagine, that my usage habbits have changed much since - especially since I was unhappy with the battery life from day one.
I did some Analysis:
Idle:
With battery-saver (Samsungs; in Settings) on: 0.73%/h - Not bad, I would say.
With battery-saver (Samsungs; in Settings) off: 1.93%/h -Not good, I would say.
Now, do I want battery-saver on? Not sure... Why did I buy a first-class device when limiting its CPU and refresh rate?
Screen-On:
I know that here, comparing is difficult...
According to battery historian the Screen-On discharge-Rate is 16%/h. That would give me a screen-on time of 6.25h - I am hot sure if this is good.
How is it for you?
What I also notice in battery-historian is, that when switching off battery saver (green bar below) I have significantly more Userspace Wakelocks. Yes, I was also using the phone, but if you observe the yellow marked time around 12-1PM, there are wakelocks without me using the Phone.

I'm not having anything like your experience. I am a US user with Snapdragon in case that matters. You don't mention how much typical daily screen on time you have.
I am sure there are more expert people here to interpret all of your captured data. But I am wondering about fundamentals. Have you already configured:
Battery optimization for all apps that don't require background operation?
"Always on" display?
Display timeout to something minimal? (I set mine to 2 minutes; I can't tolerate anything shorter)
Hello,
that is interesting to hear.
Screen on time is usually around 4h. Then the battery is completely empty.
The 2%/h in "idle" mean already on a day between 7am and 10PM 30%. So, the idle usage is about 1/3 of my drain and thus clearly worth improving. But especially the Screen On drain of about 20%/h is too high, I think. This morning I used the phone for below 2 minutes and the battery was already at 98%.
Regarding Apps in Standby: The phone has put many apps automatically in the list of "APPs in deep standby". I have manually added some.
I have only few Apps never in Standby:
Kalender, Kalendar widget, Telegram, Threema, Whatsapp.
Always on display is off
Display brightness is set to around 50%. Refresch rate is "Adaptive" and Timeout is 2 minutes.
So, I think this is all reasonable.
Any ideas?

Hello,
that is interesting to hear.
Screen on time is usually around 4h. Then the battery is completely empty.
The 2%/h in "idle" mean already on a day between 7am and 10PM 30%. So, the idle usage is about 1/3 of my drain and thus clearly worth improving. But especially the Screen On drain of about 20%/h is too high, I think. This morning I used the phone for below 2 minutes and the battery was already at 98%.
Regarding Apps in Standby: The phone has put many apps automatically in the list of "APPs in deep standby". I have manually added some.
I have only few Apps never in Standby:
Kalender, Kalendar widget, Telegram, Threema, Whatsapp.
Always on display is off
Display brightness is set to around 50%. Refresch rate is "Adaptive" and Timeout is 2 minutes.
So, I think this is all reasonable.
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Hendrik

Hi, AUHD(best on for battery life) or older SW? I have with first beta 5-7h sot, while night when I don't use phone I have 0,2%/h drain, with screen on max 7-9%
Wow, more than Double for me.
What is AUHD?
I have all updates installed.
Software version, if you have latest version there will be something wrong with your phone, try to find apps causing that high consumption. And never put any app to deep sleep or sleep mode, and don't use battery saver. This has for me other effect than lower consumption. These three things I have disabled - wificall,volte and 5g, nothing more.
And on WiFi turned off mobile data, GPS and bt.

In fact you have transformed your S21, you have made a Nokia 3310 now ......
Do not stop the adaptive battery, it is the best innovation from Google that Samsung has included. The I really do not understand your idea of using a smartphone with all these options to cut .........

I have the S21 from the start I have always held 1 day and 18 hours on average with 2 hours of stupidity, and I do not deactivate absolutely anything, gps, WiFi, 5g, Bluetooth, I leave everything on, and it works perfectly ... .... For the adaptive battery to work properly, it needs 7 to 10 days minimum ..... It does not do in a day .... And personally I have had all the galaxies since the 1st galaxy , I got them all. And many fail to configure it correctly. And above all, gave him time to configure himself on energy management.

Whit yours sot I have to charge phone every 8h, 3 times a day, this is not what a customer needs... I see you are fan of Samsung(I was also- S6,7,8,10 and now 21) but comparing to other brands you have sot from 5-11h with no restriction.
For last I will mention android auto, first time in 3 years I see the first device what can manage android auto, so many lags and no interest from Samsung to fix it...
I will also mention the good things because of them I still have s21, display visibility in outdoor, speaker sound, cameras.
Just use power saving mode with 120hz enabled and u will get 5-6h of SOT easily.
Hello,
I have factory reset the device now. I got 6h SOT now (twice of what I achieved before.
No Idea what the reason could be, though.
The only thing that I am not yet using again is Nova Launcher.
Greetings,
Hendrik
I also came from Huawei P30 Pro and I've the impression that I had more battery before.
I've a S21 (Exynos version) and I think SOT is around 3-4h.
Did you let everything in automatic like "smart wifi", 5G, Bluetooth, ... ?
I don't understand questions like this. S21 is basic model and obviously has shortest battery life. If you want a big SoT, open
Battery life tests - GSMArena.com
www.gsmarena.com
customize usage pattern and choose your phone for example S21+. If you have already bought S21, turn on 60 Hz screen, lower the brightness, reduce the processor frequency, turn off unnecessary communications and functions. I'm very happy with battery life for my tasks ))

S21 has a battery of 4000 mAh and a screen of 6.2 inch
S21+ has a battery of 4800 mAh with a screen of 6.7 inch
S21 Ultra has a battery of 5000 mAh with a screen of 6.8 inch.
Ok, S21 has the smallest battery but also the smallest screen.
I let everything in automatic mode like you can see on the attached screenshot.
I don't see the problem if we ask to someone if he let everything in auto or if he plays with Bixby Routine to optimize his smartphone.
I am also happy with this smartphone and its size but when I'm leaving to a place with power, I know that I need to take my power bank even in Batter Saver mode
I also thank you for your link. I can see, according to test result, there is a difference of 7h between S21 and P30 Pro. I don't have this impression
S21 has a battery of 4000 mAh and a screen of 6.2 inch
S21+ has a battery of 4800 mAh with a screen of 6.7 inch
S21 Ultra has a battery of 5000 mAh with a screen of 6.8 inch.

4000/6,2 = 645 mAh per inch
4800/6.7 = 716 mAh per inch
I don't know why in a place without power, for example, an option is needed "Turn on Wi-Fi automaticaly", Wi-Fi is looking for a router all the time.
