Yea he did but I think he just did the sd vs exynos under identical conditions (I think all the handsets have the capability to take 2 sims), but if I remember correctly he only had 1 sim in both handsets at the time  ... View more

As a very rough test I disabled the second sim (and my secure work profile) last night and my drain from 100% overnight went from .9% an hour to .4%.   Seems a significant difference but part of that was likely attributable to the work account not syncing  ... View more

Yea that does sound too high, guessing there is no obvious culprits in device care > battery if you check it first thing in the morning? Also worth checking cpu spy reloaded just to check its entering deep sleep ... View more

That's good battery life, especially for the smaller device.   There was a bug that was causing big standby drain but it should have been fixed in the April update. You shouldn't be losing more than 1% an hour over night if it's working properly. (I manage that on wifi with 2 sims and a secure work profile)   I think people always get distracted by the 24+ hour usage shots. Provided that the standby drain is fixed, the only difference between a 5hour Sot/ 24 hour standby and 5hour sot / 16 hour standby is that 5% of battery where someone hasn't used their device overnight.   It's always tough to compare but if you are able to use the phone as much as you need without running out of battery between charges then that's pretty good right?  @Dabided wrote I'm on the regular S10 Exynos, G973F/DS. I managed to get 5hrs, 30mins SOT,  30hrs on battery, with 20% remaining. I'm on wifi all the time, black wallpaper and theme, optimized setting with adaptive power saving, apps put on sleep when not in use. Apps I use are mostly social media apps facebook,messenger, instagram,youtube, netflix, spotify, samsung browser. Is this good battery life? And also I noticed at night when I sleep I still loose around 12-15% (7hrs). I came from an almost 5year old Galaxy S5, and the standby on my old phone is a beast, just loses 1% overnight. It just saddens me that the my new S10 drains so much overnight. 😞 I tried 3 part resetting, and factory reset but to no avail...     ... View more

Was having problems sending emails via the Samsung email app and also having issues receiving them anyways    - I have turned off autosync entirely on the phone - the downside to this is that my phone won't back up to Google this way - I am trying a few experiments with Tasker to try to automate this somehow but am still playing around with it (still receive notifications by doing this including whatsapp)   I am at nearly 1.5 hours SOT and am at 77% battery life - note that I only charge my phone to 93% before going to bed as it drains 3-4% overnight (the almost 10% drain a few weeks back seem to have disappeared....) so really at 87% battery life if I had of charged my phone to 100% overnight and unplug when I leave for work.    I think some other stuff has been pushed to the phone as my keyboard does weird things now - it's not uncommon for this to happen without doing any formal updates but we will see.  You can set up a Bixby routine that turns on sync when charging and turns it off when the phone is discharging.   Thanks for the tips, will try them out ...

I think there may have been  an issue loading one of them from Sd card, so you have to load via adb commands. Not too complicated if you have a look around and read some guides, don't have the links to hand though, sorry ... View more

ZRKA was just the initial beta software that wasn't released to the UK, ZRKN is just an update to that. If you search around in that XDA link you should be able to get the updates and sideload via sd card or adb ... View more

So I can't categorically say as I haven't received an OTA update yet.  You can downgrade using Odin (I haven't used this before) and then sign up again or do what I did and sideload the latest 2 versions  (you have to do them in order), see link below. https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9-plus/how-to/galaxy-s9-s9-one-ui-android-pie-beta-t3867446/page41   Will repeat still yet to receive OTA  update though, but that might be because there isn't a newer version  ...

  Patch is still 1st November  but build number is what is important.  I had side-loaded 'ZRKA' which wasn't part of the UK beta so didn't get the OTA updates. Provided your build number  ends in ZKRN then you should be on the latest version  ... View more
