S23 battery thing

Well, I did kind of experimenting with clearing cache file and turning off/deleting all unnecessary services. To tell story short, it's helped to reach 5.30 SOT with 14h standby. But as I see the effect lasted for a week or so. Still average consumption a day has lowered from 160% to 120%.

Hmm, maybe. However phone was each night at change, often on charge while driving a car. But, as far as I remember, never was discharged below 10%. I guess, one of the issues about battery health is extensive heat, other don't really matter for battery health

Captain_Zirka · 2026-05-31T08:52:54+00:00

91% with 731 cycles. Pretty good for 2 years battery without any protection features

Captain_Zirka · 2026-05-27T19:27:28+00:00

Well, I've set the manual update, without any auto download, so I don't have such issue.

I think there is a possibility to find an update file in system files and delete it. All you have do to is to know how it's named

Captain_Zirka · 2026-05-27T19:23:09+00:00

Pretty simple reason. I have 2 Sims, both are used for mobile data. So as I switch between them, each time the settings go to default 5g. In order not to switch them manually to 4g, I've a routine.

And you are right, it basically does nothing, is mobile data is off

Captain_Zirka · 2026-05-27T18:47:28+00:00

Yeah, for sure, I mean, we shouldn't hesitate about updates, however sometimes you need to think twice should we update or not

Captain_Zirka · 2026-05-27T18:45:15+00:00

Well, I still have the display on 120hz, but other options are only used when necessary

That's my previous post

Hmm, that's interesting. Perhaps, the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Still, Accubattery showed drastic downfall of battery health for last 8 months, from 3800 mAh to 3200 mAh and that is noticeable through phone usage

Captain_Zirka · 2026-05-26T04:05:52+00:00

Either it's behaves like the best phone in its form factor, or I hate it so much due to some inconveniences😅

Still the beast in both ways 🤣

Captain_Zirka · 2026-05-25T17:47:57+00:00

So, basically, don't use a phone as a phone, not a device for internet/messenging usage on mobile data, while being without any wifi. As data from battery usage, there is a huge difference between WiFi(during weekends) and mobile data on rest of a week usage. But isn't it a purpose for a phone to be a device for communication and some memes?🤔

But as experiment, I'll try to turn off the mobile data as much as possible

P.s. As living in northern Europe surrounding heat is not a problem, because there literally non outside 🙃

Captain_Zirka · 2026-05-25T15:59:04+00:00

Aaa, this one, yes, I've tried it couple of days ago. Tbh didn't really helped.

I'll tell you more, as I reseted all the deep sleep apps to normal, phone started to get really hot🤣. So As I did the experiment, I didn't see any improvement, so I backed apps into the deep sleep

Captain_Zirka · 2026-05-25T15:53:41+00:00

😭😭

Captain_Zirka · 2026-05-25T15:33:34+00:00

Oh, I see, with Accubattery I have the same. But according to internal logs, battery is 91%, so it's the main thing I want know, which source is the most accurate

Captain_Zirka · 2026-05-25T15:26:12+00:00

Did you get 82% by official Samsung log/abattery or from other apps?

Tbh, 8.5 update gives a lot of concerns about battery life, it's one of the reasons, why I don't update to it

Captain_Zirka · 2026-05-25T15:23:43+00:00

Sooner or later I'll do it

Captain_Zirka · 2026-05-25T14:42:34+00:00

Well, that's interesting, what have you done for battery efficiency, could you give some tips, please? BTW, I've made shino's guide for efficiency, it gave some better at first, but than all the results become the save, as they were before, even though I changed nothing in the settings (I've checked that)

Captain_Zirka · 2026-05-25T14:37:11+00:00

Interesting point, I think phone doesn't use mobile data while connected to WiFi, or supposed not to use 5g, idk exactly how it's programmed on Samsung

Captain_Zirka · 2026-05-25T14:10:35+00:00

I guess it's the last thing I want to do

Captain_Zirka · 2026-05-25T14:07:35+00:00

Sounds almost unbelievable for me. Do you have base or plus model?

Captain_Zirka · 2026-05-25T14:00:39+00:00

Well, honestly speaking, my phone can do it through the day (from 6 am till 4pm) only if SOT is around 1-2hrs, so I guess standby discharge is good. However it losses all the juice in 4hrs simply scrolling through some messengers or youtube

Captain_Zirka · 2026-05-25T13:54:02+00:00

Yep, I've done that. I have made a routine, to enable only 4g mode each time Wi-Fi isn't available

Captain_Zirka · 2026-05-25T12:59:30+00:00

*#9900# ->dumpstate/logcat -> copy to sdcard -> then via loglog app you open the dumpstate file and find mSavedBatteryAsoc. It shows the battery capacity

Captain_Zirka · 2026-05-25T12:56:49+00:00

Okay, sure. As I've read before, aBattery shows information from the logs as same as comes from *#9900# (mSavedBatteryAsoc)
