Well, in my opinion, there should not be any faults in the first place for us to report as these devices should have been tested correctly before being sold. We are the end consumer so I think we should be getting a finished product that is fit for function. We are not beta testers for new devices and when I put my own money down for a flagship device I would at least expect Samsung to have made sure the devices don't have such as severe problem. ...

Just to let everyone know I'm using a unlocked galaxy s10 which I bought straight from Samsung and I also have the battery issue when using cellular.  ... View more

Exactly the same issue here. I did one full day using wifi only and it was able to get just over 8 hours of screen on time on my s10.    Then I did 1 full day on 4g only and I just about got 4 hours of screen on time.    On both of these days I carried out the same tasks on my device and the difference was massive. Half the screen on time!    As you said it might be an issue with the antenna or something. Samsung please could you look into this because when I'm at work or when I'm driving there is no wifi and the battery drains very fast.   If only Huawei did a trade in program.  ... View more

I'm seriously considering going to another brand as this is just awfull. Not sure if I'm going back to apple but maybe huawei deserves a shot. It was already a hastle moving from iPhone to android. I think I'll give Samsung 1 month to see if they can fix the problem if not I'm done with them. Seriously how is a s7 edge easily out lasting my S10 when doing the same tasks. They are both on the same network and both exynos devices. ... View more

Hello everyone I'm not sure if anyone remembers me but I was also having a bad time with my device battery. I reset my device recently and let it learn all of my habits but it has not made a difference. I've received bad two days of from work and that's given me some time to test out the difference between WIFI and cellular. For me being connected to WIFI doubles my screen on time. I did one day of WIFI only and one day of cellular only and the difference is night and day. I'm sure somebody else has mentioned that the battery drain when using cellular is very high compared to wifi to the point that it cuts my screen on time is half.    When on WIFI I can now manage 8hours of screen on time which is amazing for an s10 but on cellular I manage about 4 and a half hours. For some of us I think there is a problem of major battery drain or usage when the device is on cellular which might be down to a bug or something.    Since where I work the wifi is very poor I tend to use my cellular but as a result I only last half a day. I can't seem to figure out what the problem is but it's fair to say I've tried everything people have suggested on this forum and I've just given up with this thing. All of my previous mobile devices in the last 4 years have lasted longer than this which is unfortunate really. I feel like Samsung have just released these device in a rush and haven't bothered even testing the device in different regions properly. I haven't got a clue what else to do and I don't think Samsung even know what's going on and that's just crazy.    My friend who has a Galaxy s7 edge is able to last longer than my s10 by a significant margin so something just isn't adding up here.    So to sum is up battery life for me when using wifi is excellent but on cellular its horrendous. Samsung if you are actually looking at this forum please could you try and sort this out because I'm sure there has to be a problem with these devices because this is one the the most popular and active forum so clearly it's a problem which shouldn't go unnoticed for too long.  ...

Thanks Cara! Anything is worth a try at this rate. I love everything about this phone apart from the battery. I will let everyone know tomorrow about how the battery is and I'll have to let the AI in the phone learn its stuff again but hopefully fingers crossed the reset fixes the problem.  ... View more

All I remember was that when I was doing the same basic tasks on my iPhone such as listening to music, some youtube and using social media I would be able to last almost the whole day. Unplugged the device at around 8:45 each morning and it would last me till the late evening in the same work place with the same signal strength. I have disabled voLTE and the signal strength where I work is almost constantly 3 bars and above.  ... View more

Just to clarify I've got the BTU version of the s10 been using my cellular data most of the day at work. Power mode is optimised and the adaptive battery setting is turned off. Mostly indoors the same as my previous test so the brightness was roughly the same. All I can see is that when using cellular data the battery lasts nowhere near as long as using wifi which is expected but the difference is much more than I thought it would be. The only thing i can think of which is causing such poor battery life is something to do with cellular maybe. My device is unlocked bought straight from Samsung. When on WiFi my screen on time can reach 8 hours and 30 minutes as shown in my previous post but at 4 hours 36 minutes on cellular is a dramatic difference. I'm going to try uninstalling spotify to see how much of a difference that makes because it's always using data in the background which does cause fast battery drain when in use.    Overall I'm not very happy with this device coming from an iPhone 8 plus which has great standby time but we will just have to see with software updates hopefully. I don't blame many of you wanting to return the device because to be honest this is unacceptable is a flagship device like this.      ... View more

For some reason, the first 10 percent of my battery drains very quickly but after that, it seems to stop. I'll report back tonight about my battery life because I'll mostly be on cellular today instead of wifi so I will wait and see if that's the problem. ... View more

When I first got my s10 I was just about managing 4 hours of screen on time but yesterday I reset all the settings and cleared all my caches and managed at the end of the day managed 8hr 23 minutes of screen on time. I've never had a phone last that long for me so I don't think it's a bad batch of phones. I'm on the March security update but I don't think that affected my battery life.    @cara1 wrote: I think I am going to get in touch with Samsung  my battery is even worse - the more ***** I turn off the worse my battery seems to be lol.  How does that work?! I used to get 4-6 hours of sot but now I'm at not even 3 hours.  And now all of a sudden my wifi has been spinning out of control.  I've played around with settings but nothing different really to anyone on here or XDA forums but my battery keeps getting worse.  Have reset settings and phone and cache so many times I have lost count.  Tired of this pos!   ...
