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

    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?

    • @kelbinhow
      @kelbinhow หลายเดือนก่อน

      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

  • @makoulinos8

    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.

    @kelbinhow หลายเดือนก่อน

    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.

    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.

      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.
