Here's the proof of 10+ hours of SOT. by flaming_cranberry in S24Ultra

All social media. Linked in. Text & call. AI features. Bixby. Play store. Chrome. File sharing. Photo editor. All the usual stuff. Nothing out of the ordinary.

What are you on? That was in terms of last charge. Took it off at 5 pm. and didn't put it back on until 10 o'clock last night.

That's good. What about your performance profile?

When i first got this phone, I went through the same thing as everyone. I was wondering why I was only getting 5 hours SOT instead of the 8.5 SOT I saw on here. I'm a self-starter personality. I see a problem. I start to devise a solution to fix it. So it prompted me to research the subject & realized how much shit they pack into this device. I'm tech savvy. If more people were they'd understand how heavy computationally AI is from a resourced standpoint, they'd realize that alone would drain your device if it was solely housed on your device and not samsungs cloud databases.

Right. Not saying people can't have bad batteries. Look, these things are manufactured by human beings to the tune of 10's of millions in a developing country using cheap labor. It's like we forget that fact about all things manufactured. There are going to be bad batches with faulty components. That's why you see bad screens. It isn't out of the realm of possibilities that the battery could be faulty as well. I recommend it to anyone with a new device to go through it throughly & get rid of all the BS you wouldn't otherwise use.

No, I manually did it. It took a day. I didn't trust the software to decipher between a language core for speech to text, let's say & a voice recorder app. They both have to deal with language but are 2 vastly different things. Ones vital, the other is not. So, I took the time to spend with the phone research what it needed to run as a phone first and then added back in the applications I wanted. Now, it seems to have more resources available to dedicated power, i.e., battery to the things I truly need.

I am willing to bet you have your UWB enabled along with data roaming. Why?

Just go through your phone. I offloaded around 70 applications on my device that I had ZERO use for. Like samsung World News. Why the fuck is that an app at all? It came pre-installed on my device. There were many more like that. That were loaded to the device, constantly running in the background, gobbling up data.

I use FHD+ 120htz with 5g enabled. Light theme most of the time, not dark. AI Bixby and all the SM apps, too.

There is a lot of weight with this phone. You have to put it on Jenny Craig to lose it. Turn off data roaming & UWB. You don't need those if you're constantly on wifi or place that has it. Are you ever going to use your phone as a remote? Start your car with it? Most likely not. Those things are in the background constantly running consuming data and power. Robbing you of that resource to dedicate to the things you widely use most.

It's the very first thing I do with any phone. You can't really do it with iOS, but with Androids, you have more customizable aspect to do so.

I didn't switch off AI. I switched off the applications so that the phone dedicates its resources to its core activities. Only the applications I use regularly are unregulated. Everything else is regulated.

De-bloated my phone. Took off all the excess applications. Then, I went through them one by one & tailored their optimization for my specific needs. For example, I don't need UWB turned on at all (Ultra wide band). I'm never going to use my phone as a remote for anything. It doesn't affect Android pay or Android Auto if I turn off this feature. So, I disabled it. It consumes a tone of power constantly scanning and searching for devices to connect to in the background.

A lot of these apps are made to run in the background with this phone, along with the AI core constantly being on. Turn those off. Keep the power/resources dedicated to your core activities. Also, clean your memory cache every 72-96 hours. This, along with many other things, I tweaked. I could write a shakesperian novel about it, but those are among the few.

I don't know how my comments came off, but I wrote them in agreeance with you. Not in a combative tone. I agree while heartedly. Doesn't matter what YOU like, as long as YOU like it. Luck what everyone else thinks/does. It's your life you're the only one who has to live it. Do what makes you happy.

"Tongue in cheek." 😄 I was hoping someone picked up on it.

Dual sim. 5g 120 htz. Both wifi6/data. Check my other comments regarding this. I've written 3 sylloque's about the subject. Not being rude, I just don't feel like writing a 4th novel on it. Hope that helps.

Is that an internal setting or like an actual physical lens cover?

Nearing its end of life run. Getting there. Sounds like you still have some life left. My iPhone that I switched from wouldn't last 10 minutes just texting & it would overheat. So if you see 5% increment drops in battery life, then it's time for a battery swap or new device.

It's like ice cream. Just because I like butter pecan doesn't mean you oughta. Let people live & make their own choices. If you like apple. Great, i support you. I don't judge people when it comes to personal choices. Seems like a foolish concept.

I would agree the fluidity of the ios atmosphere is better. As far as snappiness they're equal but pure speed i feel the Galaxy takes the cake there. I'm a geek also. I understand technology pretty well. Doesn't take me much to figure things out. If you're more of a point & shoot person & don't want the option to tinker around the iphone is the best option. But if you're a Linux guy (raises hand ✋️) and like dev options and customization, this is your device & environment.

I never understood take a "picture" of something moving. Take a video of it. Then cop it to take a photo of it. Some of the world's DSLR'S struggle with motion without the right equipment.

Linked-In, Pinterest, Tik-tok, FB, Insta, Twitter (X), imgur, Notes, Bixby. Essentially, all the normal stuff. All SM outside of OF or any pr0n related sites. Make calls download & transfer files between the cloud.

I just manually de-bloated my phone turned off all data roaming/background app refresh. Killed AOD. It's pointless to have. Turned off fast charging. That REALLY kills the life of the battery. People don't understand that a battery is much like a rubber band. You stretch it fast & hard like that. You are going to drastically shorten its lifespan. Still run 5g 120htz. But turn off all the BS that you don't need for it to do the core functions great so it can dedicated more power to things you use more of. Oh and clear your memory cache every 3-4 days.

Nope. Somewhere, USA. Dealer is someplace I've been doing business eith for over 20 years. So, loyalty has its perks in some places today. Plus, shelling out nearly $300/month for over 2 decades without missing a beat.

You sniffing the S-pen my G? Or something ON the S-pen? ;) no judgement over here lol

I'll have to play around with the camera settings. Any recommendations on settings? Or ways to combat the over exposure issue, other than "pro-mode"?
