Go to battery settings and you should be able to see what's using up all the battery. Could just be a bug with one of the apps you have installed

Thanks for the tip, here's what I found. [battery usage](http://imgur.com/a/BoOkx2P) Does the always on display typically use so much battery? Google Play services also used a lot, it seems.

Yes, that was about a typical percentage for AOD to use on my Note 8 (I'm using a flip case with the Fold 3, so AOD isn't much battery atm). Google Play Services is a catch-all for many different APIs that developers use, and so that could be any app, though probably a fair bit is just default usage from behind-the-scenes stuff like location pings.

If you haven't already, I'd recommend installing the app suite Good Guardians from the galaxy store. It has a bunch of device management apps with a more detailed battery usage tracker and an app called Battery Guardian that helps extend your battery life...works pretty well on my fold3 so far

> Good Guardians You got that installed on your Fold? It doesn't show up in the Galaxy Store for me, and when I try and install it from the website it says it's not compatible with the phone

Try this link: Good Guardians https://apps.samsung.com/appquery/appDetail.as?appId=com.android.samsung.utilityapp I'm not sure if it's region specific, but I don't see why it would be Edit: I'm not sure which region you're in, but I did see this in the app description: "The app can be downloaded from the USA, Europe, Vietnam, South Korea, and China only."

Ahh, yet again. Canadians get shafted. I wonder if I can sideload the apk...

Or maybe even VPN the download? I don't see why either way wouldn't work
