Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Battery Life + Screen Issue

JDKC on 18/10/2020 - 16:58

Hey everyone

I've had my phone for 1 week now and there's 2 issues I've noticed.

1) When the phone is in my pocket, it activates the screen and goes into emergency dial mode with a chain of numbers. Anyone know how to stop this? Its annoying as hell.

PS: I already tried toggling on "Accidental Touch Protection" in settings. Doesn't help

2) battery life… It seems I'm only getting around 4 hrs of SOT. This is with bluetooth mostly off, 5G off, auto screen brightness… Zero gaming, mostly web browsing, emails, WhatsApp etc

Any thoughts on the locker dialling issue?

And what SOT are people getting with theirs?

    I have the same phone..

    1 - only issue with the screen, is when I have the phone to my ear, when I'm talking, and the function that turns off your screen automatically, seems to turn on and off, and sometimes I'll put the call on hold, unknowingly…

    2 - My battery power not optimised… AOD is on.. 5G off.. BT is on
    I play games, bt spotify to a speaker, emails and msg etc, and I get more than a day's battery from it.

      What setting is it on if not set to optimised?

      Whats your SOT?

        It's on high performance…

        I'm on 74% now (19:40) and I had it on charge overnight.

        I've watched netflix as well.

        SOT is 5h 38m

          Thanks.

          Just so I understand, is your average SOT about 5.5 hrs or that's what it is at the moment with 74% remaining? If it's the latter, I think I have a dud

    If you are having issues with the phone maybe get it check at the store?

    • JDKC on 18/10/2020 - 20:09

      Yeah trying to ascertain if there is indeed a problem but it's not looking good at there moment

        Battery might settle with a few cycles

    Maybe turn off touch sensitivigy. Location. Do you have it runnung on 120 refresh rate and on highest Res. Maybe go down a notch or set refresh to adaptive.

    • JDKC on 18/10/2020 - 20:12

      Touch sensitivity is already off.

      Whilst I know turning off location and 120hz will help, it's something I should have to do to get through a day without having too charge a battery twice

    When it's in your pocket, is the screen facing towards or away from your body?

    • JDKC on 19/10/2020 - 20:45

      Normally facing me, it's how I've always held my phone's in my pocket.

      I am going to try the other way around though and see if that helps
