Low battery warning? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

I have 2 note 8, 1 alert me when the battery is at 15 % but the other one not. The phone is set up to alert when the phone is at 30% and is not happening..

I'd like to know how you got one to notify you. Mine does not, and there's no settings I can find.

when the notification pops, choose the notification priority.

Mine alerts me at 15% & a second time at like 5% or 7%, I forget. But my Note 8 doesn't have the setting where I can choose what level of percent to notify. IIRC S8 had the option of choosing to alert you at 30% or 50% in addition to the 15% & 5%. I'n addition I'm also running dr.ketan's DDP app set 11%, just as a saftey though, I'm not sure if my phone is affected.

I have 2 note 8 as well and I'm sure I used to have that but now I can't find the setting on either of them

My other phone don't have the option to choose at what level I want the alert like at 30%,that happens after the latest update.

New phone battery help

Hi.. Im a new Nexus One user. I just got the phone on Monday. I dont have it rooted and am running the latest build of Froyo.
My battery is depleting at an alarming rate. Just this morning, after a 3 min conversation and a gmail check, my battery dropped almost 10%.
1) I have no live wallpapers running
2) I have tried using an app killer and not using one since its effectveness is questionable.
3) I have my display all the way down
4) Bluetooth off, wifi off, sync off
5) No major widgets besides a calendar widget. rest are just app shortcuts and the power control widget.
I saw someone with a Nexus One yesterday - he was bluetooth on, a live wall paper and after 5 hours - still in the 90% range. My phone loses 10% in 10 mins after a 3 min call, and email checking.
What do you think the problem is? Phone is brand new

I have posted a thread about this, and another member took it even further a contacted a HTC rep.
1. Use phone until battery drains
2. Charge while phone is on, until you get green light
3. Turn phone off, in a few seconds the light will turn orange
4. Charge in off mode until light turns green.
You've just calibrated your battery, and you should'nt have issues after that.
It literally takes a week or even two before the battery levels itself out. When brand new my battery drained incredibly fast as well. Try to give it some time perhaps.

I have exactly the same problem. My phone went from a full charge in the afternoon to a 37% charge by the end of the day, and it was on standby with just a few calls and texts and a light gaming session with GENSoid. It also overheats to the point where it becomes uncomfortable to hold when charging via the included AC adapter.
Your best bet would be to call Google support (they're the best CS I've ever come across) at 1-888-48-NEXUS (American international rates apply, toll free in the US). They'll send you a replacement battery for free.
I wasn't as lucky because my IMEI didn't show up on their records and I couldn't verify I had the unit in order to be eligible for a new battery.
I've tried calibrating and everything, and my phone turned a month old a few hours ago. Still have the same issues.
Hope you have better luck.

Any apk can set different notification sounds?

Is there any apps that can set different notification sounds such as low battery level, low battery force shut down, phone forward set, sms, etc?
thanks
You could use Tasker for 'battery levels [to/from]' and 'device shutdown'
thanks. Will try tasker. It seems quite a lot of think to set and complicate.
Just rereading your post.
I misread your original question and thought you meant change levels at different stages (eg. low battery level, or full battery level), I'm not sure how to change those, but you could still use Tasker to make notifications for battery levels eg.
PHP:
BatteryLow{
Battery Level: 5-15 ->
-> Notification volume: 7 (loudest)
-> Music Play: batterylow.mp3
<- EXIT TASK
<- Music Play: batterylow.mp3
}
In theory when the battery level hits 15%, notification volume will change to level 7 which is the loudest, and then it'll play batterylow.mp3, then when the battery level hits 5% it'll play batterylow.mp3 again.
The normal notifications for battery low and shutdown will still be there though.

What do you mean on "normal notifications for battery low and shutdown" ? Do you mean it should have low battery notifications by default without install tasker? I got no sound on it.
thanks
Hmm it might depend what ROM it is then, mine plays a sound and vibrates when it's low.
If you don;t have any sound for the low battery then you can just do above.
Check out soundify.. Lets you tie sounds to tons of notifications. Not free though
maybe give this app a try,,, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125083&highlight=system+sound+changer

Yes, please do! Full disclosure - I may be biased as I wrote it
Yeah, it's true that it is not free. I have to provide some cover for spending so much time on the computer away from my day job with my wife and the promise of additional income gives me some leeway.

Battery Life

Post your battery stats here:
So far I am able to get 4 days with a single charge if I keep the display off and turn on only when I want. I also keep the brightness to 2.

Almost 4 days here but have a tendency to charge when reaching 20% to avoid going flat wrong time
Usually get around 3-4 days. With brightness at 5 and the gesture on. But I turn it off when I go to bed

Got with first charge 6.5 days. 3 days (only watch) and 3 days (watch/pedometer/heart rate and so on). Got about ~10% battery left yet. With brightness at 4 and no hand gesture.
65% battery left in two days of use. (i guess 4-5 days in single charge)
brightness level 4
motion detect on.
3 Days to 20%
Motion on
Brightness:2
Notifications: Hangouts, SMS,Gmail, Woot
how do you set it to sleep mode ?
I'm only getting 18-22 hours when paired with my Galaxy Note 3. What is wrong? Brightness is 3 and motion is on. Just a few notifications activated.

Samsung apps version or mix of version, I sorted that by removing every bit of samsung apps on my z1 and then reinstalled only GearManager1_2.apk. Now back to 3-4days depending on the time I spent on the phone with the gear
my phone use is here and there calls, if i have along time call im using my phone.
also notification: facebook, skype, whatsapp etc..
after 7pm when im home i'm switching the phone off and open it at 7am in the morning. brightness X 4, motion detect on, all of that is 4 days plus in use single charge.
my phone is s4 zoom.
I'm at about 75 hours or so (just over 3 days) with 40% battery still remaining. I have text, email (push from Exchange), phone, Google and Skype notifications being pushed to the watch. I'm using the weather clock face. Brightness is at 3, the gesture is off. I don't turn the phone or watch off at night, although the screen isn't being used all night because I'm sleeping.
I guess my watch is defective then. I can't even get it to work for 24 hours. What could it be? My Note 3's battery seems unaffected, though.

I am 3 days and 7 hrs and my battery is at 15%. Brightness at 2%, Screen timeout at 10 sec, gesture off, only phone and sms w/a few phone calls and I turn it off at night. How can I get longer battery life.

end of day four and i have 13% left, it can go to day five but there is no need.
the Average use of the NEO is 4 days in a single charge.

Not sure if this is really hardware issue. Mine went from 100% to 20% in about 5 hours. Samsung replaced as defective without asking any further questions. However the new one behaves similarly. This morning 100% to 88% in mere 40minutes... Then I switched off BT on phone - no change on Gear battery level in the next half hour.
So I suspect this is rather something on the phone. I started discovery with Samsung customer service. I will see what happens.
Any idea from anyone? I have a Note 2.

I know for a fact that I can barely squeeze 2 days out of the battery (so compared to 3 or 4 days easy for others, seems like something is wrong). If I turn bluetooth off, it seems like (based on 10 hours or so with it off) that I could go over a week, so I'm guessing it has something to do with my phone's bluetooth connection or a bug with something on the phone. I have an s3. Definitely let us know if they find out what the problem is.

As an Idea, as I had an issue with the gear 1, go to the gear 1 forum and get the 1.6 version of the gear manager and see if that helps. I am using the latest gear manager with the note 2, but I had major issues with the gear 1 and installing 1.6 fixed the issues.

I just got the 4.4 update from Sprint yesterday (for my S3). So far, I'm losing less than 1% per hour even with watch connected to phone. Looks like I'll get 3+ days on this run. Problem might be solved! (I'll report back once I've had a few days like this).
Paired with Galaxy Note2.
Brightness on 5.
I don't use the pedometer or heart rate features.
Most of the time I can get almost 2 days.
I've found that some of the watch faces and other apps on Samsung Apps can be real battery hogs.
For example... I tried using "Roman Watch Style" from the app store and couldn't even get a full day out of it. After uninstalling, it immediately went back up around 2 days.
At the end of the 2nd day I usually have around 7% left.
Battery life seems to be fairly consistent. At the end of the 1st day I'm usually just over 50%. By the end of the 2nd, it's borderline dead.

Is the fingerprint scanner enabled while the screen is off on stock rom?

After unboxing and charging my new Note 9 I immediately rooted the device and flashed a custom FW.
Can a person on stock ROM please clarify these questions for me:
1) Is it stock behaviour that the fingerprint scanner on the back is always on while the screen is off?
2) Does this feature impact battery life?
3) If it's stock behaviour how do I disable this? I tried changing the secure setting "biometrics_auto_wakeup_enabled" from 1 to 0 without any effect. But maybe there is another switch? I don't know.
Thanks for any help!
1) If I remember right, I have not changed any settings related to the scanner being enabled/disabled while screen is off, i.e. it would be at "default". I haven't even looked for such. For me, it does unlock directly even when display is off. (Edit: fingerprint seems to unlock from any state before homescreen, except in the lockscreen note writing mode.)
2) I haven't measured battery life yet, let alone looked for changing the feature's behavior for another measurement, so I can not really tell. However, standby battery life seems to be ok. I'm using the phone with very varying levels still, so hard to estimate well, but I'd estimate from the early daily %-drops that standby time is at least 4-5 days. So, I guess the feature doesn't drain the battery that much.
Just a small follow-up, as I finally got a decently "normal" (for me) day and a half with the phone, only one short call, text message, maybe 10 gmails received (but mostly read on PC), a bit of "usage" with screen on time probably less than 15 minutes in total.
Seems I could get about 7.5 days of standby time.
Screen settings don't matter much in this scenario (as the display is off most of the time). Other significant settings are: wifi off, BT off, 4G LTE always there, GPS always available, NFC always ready, fingerprint sensor always waiting for finger, the only extra apps that could be battery hogs are Flowdock and Steam apps (both seem to behave nicely, Flowdock was nasty on my previous phone). Using the LED cover. (Quite the "default" setup with a relatively small number of installed apps or changed settings.)
In a way, that result is good. But on the other hand, with similar setup (minus Flowdock and LED cover, fingerprint sensor only works when display on, but add an extra email account on samsung email app with polling checks), my Galaxy S5 was getting about 6-7 days standby time, too, and that with its original battery (and the phone was bought pretty much the day when it came available here). Note 9 having much larger battery, and presumably better SoC (at least they always claim lower battery drain in idle from each CPU after CPU generation), better Android version... kind of "meh" result from Note 9. However, I did tighten some settings on that S5, like reduced email check frequency and such, which I have not looked for on Note 9 yet. And possibly will not look for, that 7+ days is good enough for me.

Rog phone ii Notification light and battery graph

I have the Rog phone ii ( goblal edition ww-rom) version 16.0631.1910.64..
With mine since day 1 has never showed what was being used prior to this pic this all that show no matter how long I am on the for apps it just show the graph, show screen and mobile network standby and some times screen idle time. Since I got it back in Jan. This all it showed.
I did a factory wipe on 12/22/2020
I did a full wipe on my phone and it seems to now be showing all the apps that are being used now with in the battery graph, after I charged up the phone it goes back to showing the same thing in pic , screen usage only and some time Screen idle time …
I did another factory wipe in Feb and again, after the wipe it showed all that apps that were being used under the graph, but again after I charged the phone, all it shows is the screen time and screen idle time for the % of battery use.
so does anyone have a fix for this ( no 3rd party apps used like a external app from the play store, to monitor the battery) just use what asus offered pre-loaded on the phone.
Also the next issue is the back of the phone for the notification RGB rog light, I have it set to flash for notifications, and it seems to never work since I got the phone. the only way it kinda works is after I get a notification like email /sms/ and so on. is I have to turn the screen on then back off then the light comes on, which pretty much defeats that purpose.. tried setting in default and custom mode for the lighting and still the same does not work ( only the front small notification light works every time )
Also when the fan is connected. the back notification light seems to work 80% of the time.. But I am not one to keep the fan always connected... Thanks..
