https://www.reddit.com/r/Galaxy_S20/comments/fv286h/how_to_improve_exynos_battery_and_snapdragon/ Hi try everything on that list. My S20 5g now goes up to 7.5 hours sot from 5. I'm still using 120hz too using the Bixby button trick. I'm using hd+ resolution now also. I can't tell the difference between that and fhd+ on this size screen. Good luck ... View more

Completely agree with this. I've seen a petition for Samsung to stop using Exynos chips 😂 . Like that ever changes anything.    Looks like they're changing chips from next year. That doesn't help anyone with s20s I know. ... View more

This is a fantastic Reddit thread on improving battery life on the S20. Plenty more tips on there.  ... View more

No I'm not saying I've  disabled everything. Just the stuff I don't need to be running.    I agree it's not acceptable for a near £1k phone. Samsung won't even acknowledge the problem. This will probably be the last one I buy from them as its never been simple with their phones. Always issues. (They should hire whoever engineers the batteries at Huawei 😂 ). I've been on to their Twitter help account and they keep sending me round in circles. If Samsung had anything about them they would offer an exchange to a Snapdragon variant or some kind of compensation. Obviously it's not going to happen.    I'm trying to make the best of a bad situation and actually really like the phone, it's just the battery issues.    I know not everyone is in a position to return their phones so why not pass on some tips? ...

So I arranged a return for the phone BUT I think I'm at a good balance now with performance and battery.   Currently using 120hz mode (one of the main reasons I got the phone!) FHD+  with medium power saving setting. This is achieved by adding a button to the home screen through Bixby routines that toggles medium power saving on/off and changing the refresh rate in normal settings menu. This runs the CPU at 70%.   In addition I've disabled background apps that I don't need and used Bixby routines to keep the phone on 2g and mobile data off when I'm connected to WiFi.    So recap, I'm now at 120hz, FHD+ and getting around 6.5 hours screen on time.    Yes this isn't amazing but for me it's just about enough. Hopefully with a few more tweaks I can get it up to 7hrs. I'm going to try the 96hz app next.  ... View more

I don't know about an update but I tried 60hz with fhd and it was barely any better.   I've arranged for a return. ... View more

I've admitted defeat.  I'm sending it back . It's a shame because everything else about the S20 is perfect. 5 hours screen on time is just poor. ... View more

No I didn't. I haven't been having overheating issues personally. Try messaging them on Twitter. They replied quite quickly. ... View more

"We understand your concerns. The S20 series has an in-built AI battery manager which works to provide the best battery life by monitoring usage, however this typically takes 14 days to learn before it provides the best and most optimum battery performance. In the meantime we recommend closing down all app, as well as disabling features such as Wi-Fi and Mobile Data, when not in use. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you" ... View more

I've been told by Samsung help on Twitter that it takes 14 days for the battery ai to work correctly. Can't say I believe this tbh. ... View more

Have you spoken to them? That's definitely not working as it should. They should give you a replacement!!!! ... View more

***** that's bad. Have Samsung even commented on these battery issues? ... View more

Sorry I don't know. Where did you buy the phone? ... View more

I'd definitely send that back! ... View more

Nothing too intensive, chrome, WhatsApp, Twitter, mainly. Bit of YouTube. I don't play games. Yeah yours sounds really good. Fingers crossed it gets better over the next week or so. I've read there's battery issues with Android 10 in general. Possibly a factor. ... View more

Doesn't sound too bad, maybe you're one of the lucky ones.    Mine is atrocious. If Huawei can sort it not sure why Samsung can't. ... View more
