Android 13 - Battery backup reduced significantly - A52s5g

[Sid_Karna]

On Android 12, September patch, I was getting 7 hours minimum SOT from 100 to 20 percent. After Android 13(December security patch), it has been reduced to 5 hours.

That's a drastic reduction of 2 freaking hours of screen on time!!

I already knew that they messed up the battery after the December update but never thought that it will be this worse!

Yes, I did send them feedback and error reports and received the mandatory copy-pasted BS reply. 

Hoping to get the January update soon which MAY fix the issue. TBH I have lost faith in Samsung and wouldn't have updated if not for the 5g. Everything was smooth on Android 12, especially the battery life. A 2-hour plus reduction is not acceptable.

Nb: The reduction in battery life is happening when I am not on 5g. At this rate, I am afraid that the phone will have to be used as a landphone(full-time on charger)when I am on 5g.

Android 13 - 100 to 20 percent

Android 12 - 85 to 20 percent

Android 12 - 85 to 20 percent

Nb: THE ANDROID 12 ONES ARE FROM 85 TO 20 WHILE THE ANDROID 13 ONE IS FROM 100 TO 20.

When you try to report an unknown number, the app starts lagging, and the call type pop-up sometimes doesn't come.

What do you think of my A52s battery stats?
The one with dark mode is current battery stats(still 29% remaining)

This seems to be something similar to what I used to get on Android 12. That's good, bro.

Okay. But I agree with battery drain problem in Android 13. I used to get 7-7:30hr average on Android 12 and my battery charge lasted 1.5days compared to 1day now.

Yes the idle drain has increased a bit after A13. The only time it drains 2-3% in 8-9 hrs is when you restart your phone and leave it without opening any app.

Hey do you use secure folder? If yes, do you have the bug I reported? Check my post on this.

Here is mine. Obviously it is decreased too much

[Sid_Karna]

Compared to mine, this is good bro. You played a graphics-intensive game for 2 hours, right.

[CODM6567]

Yup! But with A12 I usually gets 5hrs plus sot with gaming.
Even setting were not extreme. Medium graphics medium frame rates. I think at least 5hr sot should be there.

I am really disappointed with the latest update. With Android 11 I used to get 10 hours of SOT, which reduced to 8 with Android 12 and now it's only 5!!
