Light use endurance - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Real Life Review

Once in a while, when your significant other yells at you, you might use your phone a bit less. Rate this thread to express how the Samsung Galaxy S8+'s battery performs under light use. A higher rating indicates that the device goes a long time when you're using the phone sparingly: no gaming or video/audio streaming, light web browsing, some calling and texts, etc.

Holds up pretty well. Light use (Whatsapp, Chrome, Wi-fi and Economy mode) will probably render me two days with no charge.

Impressive Battery Life (light usage)

Yes it's another battery life thread, but I don't think I've seen anyone post 2 days+

Screen brightness 30%, light browsing, 20 texts, few phone calls, bluetooth use in Torque, OTA update and sync with Gmail/twitter/facebook.
Biggest hit on battery life was probably the average signal at work.
Yes it's pretty much minimal use, but seems to better than the S2 ime and a massive improvement from the Desire I upgraded from.
Please just post in this thread already made, found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374286.
BTW, that's awesome.

Awful battery life...From 50% to 10% in less than an hour

I recently had a situation where I had my phone drop from 50% to 10% in less than an hours.
After that I installed GSAM.
Here are some of the pictures and stats for my Verizon LG G3.
I had my phone sit by me today for barely any use and it's at about 30% (10pm, taken off charger at noon)

On standby today
the only abnormal use would be the phone in this picture, had a long conversation.
Any and all insight would be great, I would really like to solve this. NO my phone is NOT rooted and I am not interested in doing so.
The only thing I can think of is there is a heat issue as I have a spot on my screen that shows up UNDER the glass that looks like a dull burn, and once the phone got so hot in my pocket, I had to take it out.

amoled power consumption, why no option for night mode

White on amoled uses so much more power that a lcd display does, why does Samsung or the market apps not help to reduce this waste, give use an option to make white gray.
Below is a comparison between amoled and lcd power consumption, compared, see how much more power white does than on lcd, the photo is a few years old, so the difference may not be not quite as bad now.
Also why do some people make a joke when this subject comes up, when almost everybody places battery runtime as the number 1 problem to be tackled by manufactures.

Question How to change the charging limit from 85 % ?

Any way to set the charging limit without root to say 90% from the preset 85 %?
If you are trying to charge up to 90% instead of calling at 85% is too sweet a bixby routine to stop taking a charge at 90% and your will be good.
i'm still playing around with bixby routines. at the moment, i'm using the app battery charge notifier, set the bat max with notification at 90.
I've made this in routines and it works nicely it stops at 99 and when I usually wake up at 8 it's topped up and didn't charge the whole night
