Samsung Galaxy S8 almost a year after launch, the update is available Android 8 Oreo from the company Samsung, and unfortunately for users, it also comes with a serious, but very stupid problem. According to many European users, the battery life of the Samsung Galaxy S8 is greatly reduced in Android 8 Oreo compared to Nougat, and battery consumption occurs even when the phones are in Airplane Mode.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 has its battery power consumed in a completely unexpected way, and when the phones are placed in AirPlane Mode, 20% of the battery power disappears while normally only 1% - 2% should be consumed. The problem is so serious at the moment that Samsung has stated that it knows about the complaints of customers with Samsung Galaxy S8 and Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus phones and is looking for a solution for them at the moment.
Samsung Galaxy S8 Android 8 Oreo Stupid Problem
Samsung Galaxy S8 has also found a temporary solution, deactivating 4G before activating AirPlane Mode, this setting solves the problem, but completely deactivating the GSM functionality is not a solution. However, it is interesting that leaving 4G active before activating AirPlane Mode still generates high energy consumption on the Samsung Galaxy S8, even though theoretically all GSM connections should be automatically disabled by this setting.
"Reduced battery life is often a side effect of major updates, but for some Galaxy S8 and S8+ owners, battery life seems to have been affected in an unusual manner after the Oreo update: The phones have begun draining battery excessively when airplane mode is enabled .”
Samsung Galaxy S8 has had complaints of this kind since March, when the update for Android 8 Oreo was released, so quite a long time has passed since the report and until now, without any solution. It is normal for Samsung not to solve customer problems very quickly, especially since the Samsung Galaxy S8 series is old and in general Android manufacturers no longer care about the people who bought their phones, so the affected Europeans will have to wait for solutions .
