------------------------PLEASE,
anyone with screenshot that shows specifically the breakdown of the discounts EPP and others. The various screenshots already included do not include the various breakdowns, which I remember seeing.
Also, for those who tried to price match the current price to the price during the sales price + education discount, how did it go? I am having issue pricematching now that it is back in stock but different discount. Thank you.
toggle Airplane mode would turn off wifi. Powering off should not be the workaround. Would hate to have all opened apps to close. We need to find a remedy for this sleep battery drain
See my workaround in the above post. This would be interesting to try as well. Would windows attempt to check for update if wifi is off?
Mine drained from 85% (max Samsung battery charge management software) to 0% over about 1.5 days hibernating with Windows Battery Saved and Airplane Mode enabled. This is unacceptable, especially an ultra portable
Definitely yes. I don't remember there being a sticker and removing mine, but the fingerprint reader works flawlessly for me.
I see. Yeah there should have been a transparent sticker on top on the power button fresh out of the box. It's not super obvious, but if you take a look at the keyboard, you should see that the texture is a bit different from the other keys (glossy, smooth).

Mine drained 10% in 24 hours hibernating in airplane mode.
Is the sticker on the fingerprint reader meant to be taken off? I keep getting constant errors when trying to log in.

It depends what you mean by sticker. There is a shiny plastic film on my power button not on any other keys. Is that what you are talking about? I don't think you are supposed to remove that. My fingerprints are recognized fine except when it's wet.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm referring to. Hhmm maybe I just have an errant fingerprint sensor. I'm getting errors around 75% of the time.

This happens to mine as well, frustrated the heck out of me.
You can read the last page to see all of the things I tried. I finally found a good enough workaround.
In Windows Update settings, I paused Windows update because I notice it waking my laptop up at around 3am to check for update but it wasn't able to put it back to hibernate.
Before I did this, when I opened my laptop in the morning and it wasn't at 0%, it was like the laptop was still on or waking from sleep instead of waking from hibernation (which then you would see the Samsung Book S logo for about 2-3 seconds). The bottom of the laptop was still a little warm.
Since I have paused Windows update, I have not had battery drain for about 6 days now! So I plan to every once in a while, unpause, manually update, and then pause again. It's not ideal but it will do for now.
Try this and report back to see if you are still getting battery drain.
Edit: I just thought of one more thing you can check. In your power settings where you can select how long before it goes to sleep when on battery or power, click on advanced power settings and see when does it go on hibernation when on battery. I think mine was on some really weird large number. I changed it to 30 minutes.

Now I get about 2-4% drain in hibernation every 24 hours or so, definitely not 10%. When you open your laptop, does it look like it is waking up from hibernation? Do you see the Samsung Book S logo screen for a few seconds? If not then your laptop did not stay in hibernation. Then again, 10% is probably not that bad.
Again, drastic draining to 7% from 92% over 24 hours. Before I try a few other suggestions here, I am testing something else regarding bluetooth. Yesterday, I noticed the closed-lid laptop's woke up itself [Windows notification sound & power led on] after 7 hours initial hibernation. After idling for 4 min, it went to sleep mode for 12 hrs before going into "Hibernate from Sleep without Wake - Reserve Battery Level Reached". 5 hours after this, I woke up the laptop and noticed the 7% battery level.
After issuing the command 'powercfg /sleepstudy', its report indicates the following entries being Active for 12 hours, even though there was no power light and lid remained closed.
--Intel(R) Serial IO UART Host Controller - 98A9 (\_SB.PCI0.UA01)
--Intel Bluetooth UART Enumerator (ACPI\INT33E4\4&2a158ed0&0)
Latest bluetooth v.22.20.1.1. So, I rollbacked drive to v.21.110.0.3
Will monitor...
------------Update: 4/6
+driver rollback: similar drastic drain
+another test [18 hrs hibernation] with bluetooth driver disabled in Device Manager: drained only 4% from 100 to 96%. I will monitor again tomorrow.

When you catch the battery drain but before it reached 0%, when you open the lid was the laptop hibernating (does it go through the Samsung Book S logo screen)? I noticed when I was having battery drain, it was not hibernating anymore. It was either asleep or fully on with screen off.
The bottom even felt a little warm.
Have you tried the 2 things I suggested?
1. Right click on battery icon, select Power Options, then Change plan settings, then change advanced power settings. Check and see what is the time before it goes into hibernation under battery power. Mine was set really high (basically it never hibernates on its own).
2. Go to windows Update setting and pause Update for like 30 days (or at least more than a few days to test).
My theory is that the laptop is waking up to check for updates but not able to put itself back in hibernation. One or both of these actions fixed it for me so far.
Please quote me when you reply so I will know you have replied.

sorry, have been quite busy. I have been monitoring somewhat daily. I've noticed the following according to SleepStudy-report via powercfg command:
-I initiate hibernation manually [state=hibernate], then close lid
-6 hours and 28 minutes later, the state is 'Active', then 'Screen Off' for 3-4 minutes [lately been 9 minutes which I believe have helped a drained of a few more %]. Then, it sleeps for a time period before it automatically hibernate again as set in your power settings of when to hibernate after sleep. I set mine to 1 hr after sleep to start hibernating.
-another 6 hours and 28 minutes later, the state is 'Active' again. Repeats
So, changing the power setting from hibernating after sleep from Never to 1 hr for me [or 30 min for you] did help alot in reducing the drastic battery drain..I have not paused Windows Update. I'll try that tonight.
I have not done a deep research on the 6 hr & 28 min thing. That seems to bug me a bit.
Also, I am on Samsung Mode, not Windows Balanced mode.
