What you think about this, you use some app that close automatically services or not?
It's senseless to use such apps because Android does it by itself. Further it uses more energy and your battery will be low much faster.

Self management. Close apps and services when you are not using them. Such apps that supposedly better manage your battery usage are a drain themselves.
Agree with Liam really .
Big battery drain is constant WIFi searching .

Wi-fi is forever off, someone use droidwall?
Further it uses more energy and your battery will be low much faster.

totally true !!!
Any app uses more battery than it is able to save...
There are exceptions to that such as SetCPU or Green Power Premium / JuiceDefender as they do reduce battery consumption, albeit at a cost to functionality / performance.

But I don't think that is the point. We want maximum performance with minimum battery drain
The theme of the original question was app to extend battery life / automatically kill tasks. Utilities such as Advanced Task Killer / SetCPU / Green Power Premium and JuiceDefender spring to mind. It's true of course that Android to a certain point does this itself, but arguably these apps do it better. You cannot have a phone continually running at maximum performance without maximum battery drain.
You have to make a compromise.
Green power and juice defender are the only ones that spring to my mind.

Using Gingerbread without any app killer I get a pretty food battery life (more than 2 days). So I really don't feel the need to use one.

OK trying green power and juice defender I used adv task killer but IMHO has battery drain
I have been using Juice Defender with great success, I am using ultimate version which allows you set when and where to use you wifi/3g/2g etc, with a busy schedule you don't really have time to think about turning things on and off.
I set my evening hours (sleep) to turn off 3g and wifi and come back on again during the day 8am for every 1 hr polling.
This saves a huge amount of battery - easily getting 2 days with a full charge. But of course if you are using it for commuting music/videos/browsing - no software is going to help you.
Beautiful now i have installed the app gratis try it and than if satisfied get the ultimate version
As the display is what consumes the largest part of your battery, and as the SGS has an AMOLED display, you should also try
Screen Filter
or
Total screen control
True, display eats most of the "juice" on SGS... About task killers: i suggest having a task killer to kill tasks when you wish (by choosing so) BUT not by themselves. Let the android do that and you'll see it does it better!
Lastly about 2.3.3 roms: the is a know issue with very heavy battery drain on some cases (it will appear as :android OS on battery stats).. That is a bug of 2.3.3 roms appearing after running some application and games (especially the "heavy" ones). Only know fix so far is rebooting (also you may hear about deleting some system apps by i do not recommend it)!
In case of need the combo of Screen protector and Green power helped me reaching the end of the days.
i use advanced task killer by rechild. autokill frequency every half hour, setting crazy, security medium. i defined exceptions for my updating widgets and gmail and thats it. this way android stops loading all sorts of aps in the background after a while so loads of free ram and stunning battery life. saying android itself does a good job is simply wrong, but i hope android will some day.
Juice Defender
For me, Juice Defender increased the life of my battery in half a day. Now I can easily reach 2 days with medium usage.
Before, It was almost impossible to end second day without charge.
I'm a very big fan of gesture based interactions, probably from my old HTC days, and I have a problem from day one with the LG Black:
Dialer was one of my top BATTERY HUNGRY apps with almost 80% drain over the course of one day.
This bug is mostly the way dialer reports it's battery consumption, it doesn't eat trough that much battery, but if you want to get rid of this bug it's very simple:
Go to gesture and disable (untick) - Mute on phone flip! It seems the phone constantly queries the sensors of it's position (Should be only on ring)!
NOTE:
You won't get extra battery life from doing this (maybe a little), only your battery stats will be reported correctly!
Sometimes not only the dialer acted like this, but gallery also, but it seems the fix is universal!
This bug was affecting a lot of gingerbread phones but it seems that our black has suffered from it from the start, as I tested 10A, B, E and the bug was always there!
is it just me or the note 9 got same result with this battery ?
and more stuff all the galaxy was working the same, got nothing to do with the ram managment
when i change the wallpaper while im opening the phone i notice lag between the lockscreen wallpaper and the home screen wallpaper
and while im opening the app drawer (gesture swipe up) because the icon i have on the home screen not fit the position of the icon that on the app drawer it look laggy as hell !!!! why
with nova its not like that
Must be your apps, this phone is killing it vs a s8+ and no speed issues
I'm getting great battery life. Better than the Note 8 and S9+ that I had prior.
I too am getting almost the battery life on my S9+. Started 96% at 7am, 2% by 8:30pm (yesterday). I could be a new phone thing that I keep on using but not any much different with my S9+.
Not laggy though, except the camera. But seems to get better as I use it.
I am getting the same battery life as the note 8.
My phone does lag at times.
Most frustrating is the IPTV service i pay for getting it to work on the Note 9.
Works fine on wifi but doesn't work at all in regards to any channels working while on the mobile network (Sprint).
I didn't have this problem at all with the Note 8 and its not a network speed issue.
So far I have checked the permissions settings and tested other mobile apps like Verizon Fios that works.
It has to to be some setting I haven't found yet. I even tried the app through a VPN to no avail.
Weird
Which IPTV service do you have?
Eternal TV
Hello guys.
I bought Note 9 five days ago and i want to ask something.
Is this is a normal or any recommendation to do with battery charging?
My battery estimated capacity is 3,954 mAh.
Thank you in advance!

Mine was 3831 mah and after 1 charge it reduced to 3801 mah.
Hope app is wrong.

No mine is much smoother than my note 8 and battery life is noticeably better
So my SOT is a low lower than everything I have been reading on the forums. Just tested and had a SOT of about 3.5H (100 - 30%), with no heavy use, no eco mode and 90HZ. (mostly just spotify, whatsapp and Instagram).
Furthermore, when looking at the battery statistics for for instance yesterday, firefox has used 42,61% of my battery. However, this is calculated in the analyses to 601mAH of battery. 601 is obviously not 42% of the 4000maH battery the phone should have, leading me to think there is something wrong with my battery.\
What do you guys think? Send it in for repair?
Factory reset the phone ! And at the start don't install all the apps that you use , mainly Firefox ! And see if the problem persists
Mines not been great either of I'm honest. Seems to be a massive drain from whatever app you use most. Had a big problem with the Google app draining 40%,since gone from clearing it's cache and data.
The stock battery app doesn't seem too accurate aswell so not sure what to make of it.
I would say the battery has improved in the week I've had it though I restrict a lot of apps in the background except the ones I really want notifications for
I have bigger battery decrease in SOT than with screen on.
Google app is always at first place, but also stock launcher in in the top 3.
I don't know why but stock launcher stays always in battery list and uses high resources.
Is there a way to decrease it consumption?

Hello.
I've always used phones with a notification led so things were pretty simple. This one doesn't have a led and while the colored screen edges were ok with MIUI, I'm using crDroid and I can't replicate the same behaviour (I've turned on that option on ambient display settings but nothing lights up after a notification pop). I've tried the app "aod notification light for pixel" from the google play store and it works alright but the battery drainage is crazy (overnight it drained pretty much half my battery), being responsible for 20% usage of a full charge.
What workaround have you found? Do you just live without any notification alert?
Notification alerts are overrated. Back then we had a nice rgb small led, now mostly gone. Try pick up gesture on ambient light. Or turn on edge lighting, crdroid should have it.
I use True Edge from playstore, it's free, tons of customizations. To change the pattern, i had to watch a advertisment only once, so not much problems with it.

How's the battery drainage using that app?

Not even in the app list on batt usage.
Because the actual battery drain is under "Display"
(But I don't expect it to be high, with conservative settings anyway.)
I hate it that they removed the LED from newer phones, lighting up the display for mere notifications seems so out of place. Thanks for the advice, I'll look around some options and report back if I find something interesting.
@diogofd8 Then again with AMOLED displays, showing a small notification on display is pretty much equivalent to using a dedicated LED as far as battery drain goes.
I vaguely remember there used to be an app to pretty much simulate a notification LED when AMOLED displays were first introduced on Android by literally just showing a couple of pixels in various color, but can't remember how it was called and no idea if it even exists still.

It's basically the functionallity you've mentioned and I don't think 20% is just due to the light... oh well...

Looks really nice and with network access blocked in the settings there's really no chance of ads being shown and data collection problem with Google Analytics is solved too.
The only real downside is that the app isn't open source and uses Google Libraries.
