S21 Ultra battery

[ColinHarkins]

Hi, my battery seems to be draining quite a lot

Today, I have dropped 16% within 1.5hrs 

Can anyone help?

I've heard that there is an issue with some camera sensor that wakes and that is causing the drain.

For a handset that costs of £1000 I should expect it to go all day surely using it an average rate?

Camera service wakelock 100%

That's what I'm thinking...any remedy yet?

Just to turn sensors off when your phone is in pocket for a while

[ColinHarkins]

How do you do that?

[adamlee]

Enable developer options and then quick setting developer tiles, and once you turn sensors off option you'll notic you have a quick toggle for turning them off. Just a quick warning, steps won't be counted, mic won't work and the camera won't open, also auto rotate stops working. But obviously just turn the option off when you turn on the display

I agree. I had a Huawei P30 Pro before I spent £1200 on an S21 Ultra and it was a challenge to drain the smaller battery on that in a day with everything running at full throttle. I'm sick to death of hearing about tips and tricks to save battery on this S21 Ultra, it just shouldn't be a thing we should be concerned about, it should just work. Turn this off, put that into sleep, restrict this, delete that app, blah blah blah. I didn't buy a feature rich phone to turn them off to save battery.

I had the P30 pro also .. and like you say had hardly an issue with it

Its one of your apps doing it

Which app? Everything seems fine when I look at the Battery Usage screen. I'm just using normal apps that most people have installed on their phones.
