Battery optimizatiom

I think Samsung should focus on battery drain when phone is idle.

It is much better than earlier but not upto the mark.

Exactly, this is one area Samsung should really focus on

its not a big challenge for Samsung to do so, but they are not interested in doing that not sure why.
bigger battery without proper optimization doesnt make sense

as of now do these settings from your side if you want and observe for next 1-2 days, it will give a noticeable difference

1. Settings>Connection>more connections settings> disable nearby device settings.

2. Settings>>Location>improve accuracy >disable
A. Wifi scanning
B. Bluetooth scanning .

3. Device care>battery >power mode>select "optimised" and "adaptive power saving".

And then click on "app power management >
And enable these 2 options.
A. Adaptive battery
B. Put Unused Apps to Sleep.

4. Long press on each app specially 3rd party app(LIKE FACEBOOK, YOUTUBE) and rarely used apps and also ON "GOOGLE APP" as well, then click on>app info> go to these 3 options below on by one

A. Mobile data> allow background data usage>off

B. Battery >allow background activity >off

C. Notification >disable unnecessary notifications like promotional and unnecessary reminder notifications.

5. Go to settings> privacy > permission manager > location> and check which app have accessing your location all the time and if you not using that apps much, then deny access or set as " allowed only while in use"
As unnecessary location access by 3rd party app causing battery drain.

6. Go to settings > Google > on device sharing> check which 3rd party apps present there for e.g. if you use paytm , paytm will shared data to show recommendation and suggestion which also cause battery drain

7. Go to settings > account and backup> account > check which app syncing automatically there, and if any app which not necessary to auto sync then click on it and "disable sync"

8. Go to settings >apps>search "weather" >click on settings icon right side > change "auto refresh" settings as per your requirements and disable some unnecessary reminder. ( due to auto refresh it continuously consuming battery)

9. If you use Facebook frequently then disable "auto play video"
And if you are mostly uses mobile, on wifi connection then also disable "auto play videos" in YouTube.

10. Settings>Google >click on 3dot at right top corner>usage and diagnostics >off this option.

thanks Eshank, none of the above settings are enabled and i have taken care of above settings.
my point here not all can do these manually
its should be something manufacturerr have to take care via s/w update which i feel Samsung is not doing great battery optimization and even after many ppl put their concerns in this area.

i understand your concerns, but those concerns can't be implemented immediately, thats why I suggested you those settings, you can try and i hope u will get noticeable difference, very soon🙂

i have taken care of those settings already.
I am not expecting it to happen overnight and morever battery drain related issue isnt something new its been pointed out by ppl from long ago. being a big company that has strong user base its not that tough to take care of this its all about the priority on what company is looking at user feedback.
i feel somehow this is being ignored by Samsung

You can install S Power Planning for where you can use call forwarding when no battery , turn off location services when not in use and close background apps..hope this helps!
