I fixed my Galaxy S22 Ultra's battery life

- In my recent review of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, I nitpicked the battery life of that device. But as it turns out, it's not entirely Samsung's fault that my battery life was terrible, it was my SIM card that was draining my battery. This is also the reason why I've had bad battery life on my previous three Samsung phones (Galaxy S7, Galaxy Note8, Galaxy S10+).

I don't know anyone in real life that has a good battery life on the s22 ultra. I refuse to disable everything and not use things but when I am just texting and I see the battery level click off one at a time just from that it makes the phone hard to want to keep
100% true
I actually had to go from my pixel 7 pro back to my s22 u, My snapchat just doesn't work anymore on my pixel 7 pro and i think my p7p might have a better battery life compared to my s22u.
Going to sell my rog5s for the s22u seems a good choice for me😅
I got mine on release date & I have Max settings with Bluetooth & I get up at 5am & by 11pm I still have 58% or higher. I recharge mine wireless every night but I can get a day & 1/2 easily.
Mine is on Verizon Network. Never had any issues. Reason why I'm not updating for a few more years
@@Mike_The_Hog_A_Natorhave you disabled something for the battery to have a better endurance?, and what proccesor does your phone have?
This is why it's stupid to buy a flagship phone, you will end up dissabling every feature in order to save battery.. epitome of stupidity.
😢😢 hn
Can't argue with that one, specially exynos 2200 not great battery life on my S22U
Nah s23/24 ultra battery are really good with everything on... I get 10 hours screen on time with 5g/tethering/gps/bluetooth always on on my s23 ultra! On s22 ultra cant even get 5 hours screen on time with all these enabled... Even 15 pro max cant beat this. 5g needs so much power and iphones dies to fast with 5g...
@@theidiotgamer4306 Galaxy S23 and up, but before that......
@@f.ferenc88 Yeah I know... But still I prefer using my power bank the whole time than to turn off things to make it last a little more...
Got S22 Ultra since 2 years. Always using 3G, battery is ok. With LTE on, battery life is pathetic. That was solution for me.
I get 1.5/ 2 days or 12 hours of screen on time. All I have done is installing Good Guardian from the galaxy store. Hope that helps.
@@Pbhuk What are the settings on good guardian? Because i need 4g and 5g. Turn them off is stupid...
I am glad to hear the sim is the culprit because, I travel loads and whenever I use a different sim from Africa specifically Orange in Ivory Coast, my battery is halved
OK, so I have had the s22 ultra for 3 weeks now. I'm finding the battery to be very, very poor. Today (15th Nov) I've used the phone for an hour with 6 minutes camera use, 6 minutes of TH-cam, 2 minutes of phone calls and text and 1-2 minutes of using a couple of apps. My battery has gone down 20%. Is this normal, or is it the sign of a poor battery?
Same here..battery draining so quickly that I can't even belive how can this be possible that a phone costing so much , has such a terrible battery life...even worst than 10k rupees smartphones.
@Deepak Sharma I was told a few days ago to be patient with the battery. I'm nearly 4 weeks in to having the phone and I must admit, it's improving with my usage. It takes 2-3 weeks to adapt to one's usage patterns. Its gone from showing 1 day of battery usage on full charge and now when I fully charge it is showing 2 days and so many hours!
@@NazSBG Thanks mate..glad to hear that...what is the SOT you are getting(not screen off time number which is shown in battery usage) and Are you using exynos or Snapdragon one?
@Deepak Sharma I'm in England so I'm on Exynos system.
What are you referring to re SOT? Apologies, I'm not great with abbreviations and tech speak lol. One gets to 40+ years of age and tech becomes more daunting!
@King Rai I have set my phone to sleep setting. I also switch it to aeroplane mode turning of WiFi and any signal finding. I lose 2-3% during by the morning.
I've just read up that here in England and Europe, the exynos chip is not as good as the snapdragon chip that is in American, India, and Asian s22 ultras. Snapdragon is better for gamers though on which I'm not.
Problem is its a premium phone £1000 plus I shouldn't have this problem it's so annoying I'm just waiting to pay it off then im gonna upgrade hopefully 6 months left 😅
this video is secretly sponsored by AT&T to push e-sim conspiracy!!! (joke)
@@dickwyn I think prepaid is easily dumped..and reused...so I doubt they might not able to make it to esim
@@dickwyn for prepaid :o
We buy phones for large sums of money to enjoy their features and capabilities, then they tell us to turn off those features so that we can use our phones without problems!! What is the benefit of paying money to buy a phone like this?!!
I get maximum 3.5 hour screen on time :(
same
i get 6-7h
I switched to eSIM, and stopped using the old physical sim, battery life seems no change, still not good. Any idea?
That's because it doesnt depend on the physical sim itself to receive the cellular signals, that's entirely up to the device's internal antenas, the SIM or eSIM works only as an "authentication/information" thing. So if you're receiving bad signal, it doesn't matter if you change to another physical SIM or a different eSIM, the signal will be the same
My steps to improve battery life is 1) display resolution 1080p, 2) refresh rate to 60hz, 3) disable "always on display", 6) disable 5G, 7) use dark mode, 8) enable adaptive brightness, 9) enable adaptive battery, 10) disable gps, nfc if dont use it, 11) put in deep sleep all the apps that using rarely and keep in sleep the main.
So basically don't buy an s22 ultra
display resolution doesnt save battery at all fyi
You might as well just use a 5 year old phone if you are going to disable all the modern features
Yea ok disable every single feature you payed for just to get mediocre battery life at best
@@kostas214pro4 exactly. He might as well use a galaxy s3
It doesn't matter sim card or anyhthing, you will notice in battery usage what causes frequent drain, for my case it goes max 4hr soT. and main players are whatsapp and facebook, I disabled facebook but still , it gives 4hr soT.
@diamondgirls777 same here . Did you find any solution
Hah that sucks. I have an s22 ultra and right now have 46% battery left with 10hrs and 14 minutes of SOT
@@Jewlawphin not realistic
@@thesnowmanMHH how so?
@@thesnowmanMHH i average 15ish hours sot
After 2 weeks of trying different things I'm now getting 8 hours of SOT and standby time of 1 day 4 hours.
what did work for you?
I cleared the cache and put a bunch of apps I don't use often into deep sleep. Before clearing the cache I also did a hard factory reset and did not use Smart Switch but did use Google restore during the setup. 👍
@@xavind did you use google restore instead of smart switch because it apparently drains battery?
@erfvn I used Google restore. Using Samsung Switch does make the phone not feel like a flag ship.
Additionally, with Modes & Routines I can set the phone to automatically switch on battery saver and dim the screen at 9pm. With this on I now get around +7hours SOT with about 20% battery left after 1 day 7 hours since last charge.
I have both s22 ultra and s23 ultra.. I can see no difference in battery life😢😢.. I use amazon prime, Netflix, youtube etc.. PLEASE REPLY IF YOU GUYS HAVE SAME EXPERIENCE
That is definitely one of the worst user-friendly informations Samsung or any other manufacturers give to us in terms of what's actually draining battery. When you open up the battery settings page and see the graph of battery draining, you only receive information about apps and screen on times, but not a single info about other stuff, system stuff, such as how much the GPS consumes, how much the screen consumes, the bluetooth consumes, the wifi, the cellular signal, the speakers, etc. And if you think this would be useless or irrelevant as if these things doesn't consume much at all, then you're entirely up for new discoveries, because boy oh boy, these things DO consume a lot.
Did you consider using an esim? Would that be even better for battery life?
Go to setting account diagnostic mange off then go location set while using then go wi film Bluetooth scanning off after u will be see battery life gain
wow, it never passed through my mind that i should've changed my SIM card... i think mine is 20 years old.. lol... and now im suspecting that could be the reason my signal is mostly on low ( inside my house) outside is a little better but still it should be on max where i live...
Can you guys check your phone's max charge voltage at 100% it should be at around 4.45v. I got mine in december and since day 1 the battery charges max to 4.28v and drops voltage to 4.1/4.2v upon charger remove, went to 3 samsung repair centers and they only check the phone with an app and say its fine...
The voltage should be around 4.42/4.45v for a new smartphone
We shouldn't have to wait 3 weeks for adaptation. That's just way too long to wait.
If we want to take the phone back, it's too late.
Samsung needs to step it up.
First, the price is way too high for the phone. Second, at least include a charging brick. Third, adaptive battery takes way too long to adapt.
The Pixel 7 Pro is a better buy now.
Thanks for sharing this experience. I am also facing heavy battery drain issue, but when I vist Samsung service centre the executives keep telling me that there is no issue with my device at all. I am getting around 5hrs 45 mins of screen time and screen off time of around 6 hrs(I have enabled always on display), is this normal? Can anyone comment?
with always on display and nearly 6 hours of sot, I can see why they tell you that. I would feel the same. I'm lucky to get 4 hours, no AOD, 25% brightness, location off, most things off besides the refresh rate. Today, post update, I had 1 hr 10 mins sot for 50% battery. Getting hot doing basic tasks, constant stuttering, seemingly worse with each update. I've already gone through all troubleshooting steps a couple of times and I reckon they'll tell me to do it again.
Normal
@@zhenya7992 Probably a issue with your chip. you should go take it back to where you bought it.
So s22U is a miss. I'll wait for the s23u price to lower a bit more.
I read this comment on Reddit that basically says that with every update our phone gets more outdated because the new software is optimized for the newer devices with the better hardware. So now your 2021/2022 chipset has to work harder to run the latest software
I always had two sim cards in my phone. I actually never use the other one. Throwing it out, it might help the battery life, if this is correct info.
I am loosing upto 60% battery even when on safe mode and flight mode.
@King Rai yes bro.I was facing the same issue. Finally after 2, 3 regular visits service center changed its motherboard (one with the processor). For two days it's working fine.
Some S22 ultra units are faulty.
Why don't u factory reset ur phone
I thought abd i have the same issue. Subscribing .....
Very useful information thanks
Surely it's pot luck though. If you live far from a cell tower won't you get shocking dBm? Obviously some maybe more efficient but isn't distance from a cell tower the defining factor?
I was using a note 10 plus for almost 3 years and I am 2 days into using s22 ultra...I am selling this phone it can't cope with my usage..s22 ultra is not a phone for me...drains a charge like it got holes in it
I hv done 14 to 18 changes in setting and after complet changes in setting my battry life growup up to 4 hr.....watch everyone Whatgear video for solve battry issue
Bro s22 ultra battery life is kinda sucks should i get s24 ultra
Mine is about 13 hours of normal use is that normal?
Which case do u have on
i belive its the JerryRigEverything Dbrand
Sweet case Brò, can you share the link
im using the dbrand grip case (dbrand.com/shop/grip/galaxy-s22-ultra-cases)
Samsung Battery life is bad just too bad. If battery is your top priority guys, please get big iPhone.
Is it true that WQHD drains battery that much?
i have not noticed that much of a difference when using WQHD
Nice name
I didn't change nothing out the box and my phone last all day while using utube and games I don't know what people r talking about battery drain
3:54 shit mine was at -118
I have a new SIM card and very good cell signal and I get like maximum 2 hours of screen on time
Well at times even without any usage it drops like 10 percentage in 15 to 20 Mins and At times it works good is this a Joke. I am i spending over a Lakh in India and i get this shit I saw many reviews where it show u have to wait for 2 3 weeks for adaptive battery and it will get ok but it's been 2 months now nothings working and it is now showing 10 hrs for a day. Also I am noticing an Auto restart frequently in a day that to when I have turned off Auto restart in my settings. And this gets even while scrolling Instagram and watching YT videos all of a sudden
mine is that same problems!!
No useful stuff
Lol hehe just need for subscribe
