I updated to the latest firmware version a few days ago and no difference on battery. In fact it probably improved3hours 30min after fully charged. 2hours SOT and battery already on 69%.

wipe cache /factory reset.
I know it's a hassle , but in the long
run, it could be worth the effort.

Thinking about factory reset. But getting all those apps installed again.
What is the the easiest?

Well i use samsung back up and restore from cloud and with nova i back up and it puts all right back
Were you able to fix this? My work around is vc via WhatsApp
I found this to be the same on my note8... disappointing actuallyDon't waist your time.
If you look at your IMS settings
( use QuickShortcutMaker to find)
You will see it's most
likely activated.( See screenshot)
After Googling a bit, it seems
to me that a lot of Service Providers
eg. Vodacom etc, has done this intentionally.( Not Samsung.)
Video button not active, as they want
you to use a 3rd party app
Then you have to use
data.(money) to video call etc. They score.
On my Note5 video button is on
dialpad.
However on latest device re Note 8
its missing. Replaced with Sms icon.?

I checked my S8+ and although it has the icon, the option is not available (greyed out)
Interesting...

I just need to double check the settings menu... if i remember when I get home, will do.
I don't know if you noticed but Note 8
does have the video call icon on call interface, but is greyed out.
See screenshot.
If you receive a video call it will light up.
So yo can receive but will have to use 3rd party app to make video calls
My opinion is still, that all new
devices will go this route.?
That they "force" you to
use data, as to do video calls.
To increase their revenue.
Reminder, to what Vodacom
stated a quite a while back.....
That revenue from voice calls have declined.
Recently, they again stated that their
revenue for data had increased.!

When you open contacts and click on a name doesn't yours do the same as attached ?
Your screenshot shows that you are calling already and that is why the video call button is greyed out.
