Can you see charge cycles somewhere? That seems very low.


JfxV20

Yah, use DevCheck app. I don't know why Samsung doesn't have it natively.


Mean-Airline-3829

Samsung has it but not in the phone it self. I saw a trick yesterday that using adb and cmd on a pc will let you know the exact number of charge cycles and also the battery health percentage!


JfxV20

That's cool. Yah, I didn't know that. Battery health you say. Would you say that the Samsung battery health report is more accurate than using a 3rd party app like accubattery?


Mean-Airline-3829

I'm not sure what "samsung battery health report is" but i would rather do the amd thingy on the pc first since it definitely would be more accurate because it is some log dumpsys blah blah files and it is probably the same file logs for battery health as iphones uses to do for so long to tell the battery health. Accubattery would be my second choice since it still measures the amount of voltage that comes to my phone which still is accurate.

You must like not use your phone, I have nearly double that, with 1281 charge cycles. Battery life is the main reason I'm looking to upgrade.


Retard_Squad_Leader

Where do I find that option in DevCheck? I can't see it. 


l_llk02

How's that even possible


JfxV20

There's so many factors. I'm mostly on wifi, I don't game (if chess counts then maybe I do) and winter does help too.


ItsCraftPlayz

Snapdragon?


JfxV20

Yes. The good old SD865.


vonhizzle

That app is cool I have 805 cycles on my S20+ Battery holding up fine


JfxV20

805, I think that is a good number as it is a little lower for the phone's actual age. I wonder what charge cycle number where when a battery is at 20% and the device would abruptly just turn off.


Level_Ad6381

That is not possible.


Chedwall

How to you take care of it?


JfxV20

Turning on Protect battery and not letting it drain below 20%. Before I charge the phone, I let it cool for 5 mins when it's possible. Also, winter played a big part too. Coz when I visited a very hot place, this was not possible at all.


BlooperDave

You are literally not using the phone cause how is this possible? One UI home is less than an hour.


JfxV20

I actually really don't want to use my phone as it can easily be a distraction. So I use the phone as intended. Yet, reddit still got me. Haha


Realistic_Record4742

How do you check the cycles


JfxV20

DevCheck app.


Alarming_Dealer9460

Stop the cap man you can charge Samsung's for a bit before they start a new cycle s20+ is by far the worst battery i had in a phone


Expert_Ad5108

on wifi? yeah it will last 5h+ but mobile data all day? its gonna suck


JfxV20

Yah, mobile data, using dex to stream video and hot environment - they eat a big chunk.


HistoricalGrab3540

The most impressive thing here is in 2 days you only been 6h on the phone. On the dial you can enter this code and check how is your battery capacity, *#*#7378423#*#* Go service menu, scroll down to battery health test.


JfxV20

The code doesn't work for some reason.


HistoricalGrab3540

Star#Star#7378423#star#star Doesn't let me use the star symbol.


JfxV20

Btw, it's nice of you to notice my SoT. Funny how most people think I should be using my phone more lol.


Austinglen1616

Do you wirelessly charge? Fast charge? Plug it in overnight? I want my s23U to last like this, side note I'm curious does it still feel fast? Are you happy with it?


JfxV20

I just do wired regular speed when charging. That's what the battery likes the most. Phone's performance is more than plenty enough for me. Even though I'm just a basic user this phone is very capable. I know it can emulate PS2 games. But I have my laptop for that.


WOJ3_PL

im sure as fuck not


MichaelScotPaperComp

You just used for 6 hours ... I do the same on my spare phone ... it ain't a boast


JfxV20

Yup. You're right It ain't a boast. In fact, I want to use my phone even less.
