I can't for the figure out how to get more than 3 hours of SOT. My battery is at a 100% health according to accubattery, and it was just replaced a few weeks ago so the battery is for sure good.
Whenever I check accubattery, it'll give me a claim of how a full charge should give me 9 hours of SOT, but 3 hours later my battery is at 20% or lower. I add up the usage per app and it doesn't add up.
I've got adaptive battery, adaptive connectivity, and adaptive charging turned on. I'm only using LTE since my carrier doesn't do 5G either way. I'm usually at 50%-80% unless I'm out in the sun. I've tried resetting the learned behavior for adaptive battery as well, but that hasn't changed anything.
It's not even like my units defective because the one I bought first had a defective fingerprint sensor and had the same battery life.
Give me your secrets people, I just want my phone to last me the day.
Setting the lowest brightness setting you are comfortable with in the adaptive brightness setting. Do this for indoors and outdoors. You may have to set it a couple of times for each, but the phone will eventually remember. Also, turn off Bluetooth if you don't use it.
