Does your Galaxy S22 battery die quickly?
Since the end of July, I am officially now on my 3rd new S22. My battery dies very quickly. I have lowered my display, deleted apps, put apps to sleep, delete text messages and store photos in the cloud. I get out of bed around 7:15 during the week. By mid-morning my battery is nearly half-dead. Any thoughts on why the battery keeps dying so quickly?
Immediately after transferring and getting the device fully activated on T-Mobile (phone number port etc) and just using the device normally (which meant relogging back into all the apps, etc). Absolutely TERRIBLE battery performance AND I found that Samsung must have a typo in their web materials. Had to download the Samsung Members app which allows for diagnostics where it tells you clearly the size of the battery. T-Mobile support confirmed a 3700mah battery in the S22. Not big enough. The S22+ has a 4500mah battery but not going to pay more for the S22+...the only reason we went with the S22 was due to some of the great performance specs and camera + free on a T-Mobile promotion. For an athlete, a cost has as much to do with "availability" as "performance"...in a device "useability" is synonymous. Out of the box the S22 sucks due to poor battery life. So far after tweaking almost all of the available battery life improvement settings (mainly power saving mode reducing screen refresh from 120mhz to 60mhz) + drastically limiting individual app background usage, things better but this is our first day with those settings...starting at 7am unplugging a 100% charged S22. We'll see...
Have you checked to see what apps are eating your battery?
Not an app usage problem. My wife just got a new S22 and I transferred all her stuff from an almost 1 year old motorola Moto G power 2021 addition (cheapo phone). We noticed the terrible battery drain immediately. The old phone with the same settings (different hardware of course) lasted an entire day on a single charge and she is a pretty heavy social media user...the phone is seemingly in her hand and front of her eyes many hours a day
I'm trying to determine ACTUAL batery size. Samsung.com says 5000mah whereas Tom's Guide and others show 3700mah. The latter would be an issue I believe given the fast processor, great camera, high screen resolution, etc.
how long after swapping everything over did you notice the battery drain? or was said battery drain as you were transferring everything?
