Its posible downgrade from android 8 to android 7? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Dears, I have a note8 sm 950F and have android 8, but have a problem, it drains battery so much fast, battery maintance say that process system_server is the process that consume 15% of cpu always, if I close the process the phone restart and in a few minutes back to appear again, so the solution I find is flash with other stock rom and I read that this dont happen in android 7, it is possible downgrade to android 7? its is dangerous?
I will appreciate your help, thanks in advance

Wait so I just got my Note 8 from swappa. It was already Android 8. Is it the process system_server that is using most battery or is it using processing? And how do I view this cpu/battery information? Can you post screens?
My phone technically has been used for 5 months by the original seller but I find the battery life dissappointing. I get 4.5 hrs of screentime with standard to below avg use with the medium resolution setting

my case its very similar to you, I bought the note 8 with 4 months of use and I think battery is drain so much fast, in 5 minutes it down a 4% or more, display time should be about 4 hrs or less, the process system server consume cpu, but the alert notification appear like consume so much battery, here is the image:

Long story short, flashed a few different Oreo filmwares, my BTU variant being the last it seems to get the update! I was noticing battery drain more while it was not in use than when I was using it!! Finally BTU update on sammobile, flashed and not had the battery drain since.
Maybe try a different filmware, if you have that option?
I downgraded back to 7.1 fine btw.

Ah so it is supposed to be 4 hrs of SoT standard? I guess people getting 6 hrs have a bunch of synch and location stuff off. Yeah mine is 4 to 4.5 hrs on default settings and normal use.
And you got the OTA update or did you flash manually? if you did then I'd suggest OTA or different firmware and of course the factory reset

What made you go from 8.0 to 7.1? And Does this downgrade work for US versions? I think we have snapdragon

i did once downgraded from oreo to nougat (7.1.1) via odin. i downloaded the firmware from sammobile site. it succeeded without any errors. and for extending your battery performance, have you tried put all tha apps to sleep using battery set up inside the device maintenance setting?

[Q] feel like returning after battery life ?

Anyone felt like returning this phones after a week cause of battery life?
Im not cause its not that bad and maybe a custom ROM may be able to work on that just looking for other people's experience and what they think thanks!
It's useable with a few temp.. tweaks .
The bottom line is this all occurs with lollipop in general S5 was great on kitkat ...until 5.0
It's not the phone it's features and O.S
People are disabling Volte and WiFi calling it helps a lot
I wouldn't return it over battery life yet the camera is way to good
Give it time We get roms soon and mods it's I take back everything +I said
Samsung needs to take back every s6 and Rethink there whole O.S
For a 750$ flag ship release its so buggy it's hopeless .
Camera is only worthwhile feature

Do one factory reset and set up phone again and disable VOLTE FOR NOW under Phone /More .
Cycle the battery meaning charge filly and let it fully drain as far as you can before recharging again .Another words don't fully charge it when it hits 40%
This is true the battery's learn a drain span
I'f you recharge anything above 10% it isn't gonna learn it's max capacity Takes like a week.
The main fix is Volte disable and WiFi calling
Sent from my SM-G920T using XDA Free mobile app
i turned off volte i dont really see the need for it i mean its a phone call why do you need such high speeds lol my phone is at 2 percent waiting for it to die lol thanks
If it wasn't for the rapid quick charge I probably would have
returned it but the fact that I can top off in a half an hour it's really not a problem getting through the day.
I think it has something to do that the phone is not going to deep sleep, i rooted mine and flashed a custom kernel, now it does deep sleep and battery is ok now
While battery life isn't as good as some phones I've used recently I still got 5hrs SOT yesterday. Not bad at all.

That is pretty good for this phone ....
Has anyone tried going into Developer Options }Limit Back
Ground Processes to 4 ?
I wonder if this barely slows the Phone for most things but might give an additional ( wild guess 10% to 25%) Battery Life.
I don't have one but if this works....be easier for me to decide.
I may put this idea in a separate Thread.

Yea I can't complain about battery life. The screen is so ridiculous I end up using the phone for no reason, so my usage at least for now since it's new, isn't my normal usage.

Battery Life and Screen on Time

This is a discussion thread for people to talk about their battery life experiences with the Moto G4 Play
first you, your model, your print and your commend.
The battery life is very good, great screen on time:

October? Im on June and it tells me that there are no newer versions. How did you Upgrade?
Same with me, June and said it's the latest. XT1602.
Running CM13 and Squid's kernel. Screen-on seems to drain this thing pretty fast even when WiFi is off, screen off it seems like it can last forever. I don't know the exact model number, but I have the single SIM 16/2 model, non carrier specific purchased straight from Motorola.
I don't know how this compares to stock Android or stock kernel, as I unlocked this thing's bootloader and flashed everything I have now without even getting the chance to experience what stock firmware was like.

I have the xt1601 and i'm in retail mx It is possibly that
I just reverted to the "stock" kernel CM comes with and I don't see much improvement compared to what I was getting in the previous post with Squid's custom kernel. It could just be a defective device I have (this, plus the screen brightness seems to "transition" from one brightness setting to another VERY slowly), but with CM installed, it's a bit late for me to do anything about it...
I am very impressed with the battery life. I have the phone a little over a week now, and have yet to kill it by bed time.

Whatever the stock settings were, don't remember changing anything around.
I am Using the latest official build of RR with squid's kernel. Its working really great for me but the battery really drains very quickly compared to stock. Can anyone suggest kernel tweaks or system settings to improve the battery life?
Pretty good
So far, the battery life is pretty good. Lasts long enough. I'm using Resurrection Remix 5.8.0 and Squid kernel.

Note 4 still loved?

I have an ota update available.
Probably just modem and bootloader as usual.
600mb though.........
Probably the BlueBorne fix. It took really long to get it released...
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
i'm still rocking 5.1.1 stock/no root. i don't know if i can trust that these updates to our Note 4 are actually improving it. I feel like it's deoptimization. And worse of all, it's not guaranteed you can downgrade successfully
I still love my Note Four and just had it refurbished!
Prefer my old note 3 to the 4.
they took out to many voice commands etc
cannot control the music player with voice
4 has better hardware for sure but they just took away to many good things
update was modem/bootloader afaics.
security patch is aug2017 so that hasn't been updated
but it seems at least my phone does not have the blueborne vulnerability after checking with the Armis app.
Definitely loved, one more time, in OTA form (217Mb worth of it)
I am still rocking the N910C as my daily driver. I love the fact that I could swap out the battery in seconds and not have to lug around a heavy powerbank to keep it charged.

Don't update if you use an extended battery. Mine won't recognise the battery as extended after the update, even after six complete charge cycles draining to empty and charging to full.

got yesterday software (230MB) update

I have N910C since early 2015,
I bought LG G4 after the Note .. after 2 months I sold it, you can't compare any screen with the Note 4 gorgeous screen.
Tried my luck with iPhone 6s Plus, sold it .. reason ? cuz it's piece of sh*t.
Another try with S7 edge, I did not like the curved screen also I missed the S Pen and the replaceable battery [ I have 5 batteries one of them 10,000 mAh].
In my opinion, the note 4 is the most completed phone made ever even it's 4 years old.
I'm using SimpleRom which is the lightest rom made for N910C, day to day usage you will not notice any speed different between the note 4 and newer flagship.
Same here.
I just got an update after a long time, but with no security updates. Weirdly, I've seen same variants as the German has a October update, whereas I keep having the August update.
https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-N910F/region/DBT/
And despite having almost 3 months the update, I got it yesterday.
Any further information about this upgrade?

not good, like average 3- 3.5 hours? I'm on 6.0.1 now because my phone updated by itself after all this time. At first, it gave me a big battery boost, but now it feels lightly better than when i was on 5.1.1. But, some apps on 6.0.1 do feel a bit slower i find. i could always downgrade back, as i'm not on the latest 6.0.1

NEW Thread, Battery Life (SOT) for Note 8 on Android Oreo!!!!!!

Post your most recent batter life number if you have a note 8 on the new android oreo update, lets compare and see how we can maximize use
Again, really? Just use it and recharge when required...

I'm bot usually that guy, but I tend to agree with this guy. Do we really need to obsess over how long we can use the device before the battery dies?
I've found that just using the device without caring how long it lasts, I get way longer than expected battery life.
The problem with this is, everyone uses their phone differently. So unless people will tell us how bright the screen was, using wifi, 4g, gaming, Facebook and for how long, etc etc, it would be pointless IMO. If you want better battery life, reduce brightness, as this is the biggest drain on the battery, stop all syncing, remove apps like Facebook, reduce the resolution, turn on power saving and turn off animations or put them to .5.
Exactly & agree on all the above. SOT is so over rated & it's easily to manipulate the results. I mean I have posted my SOTs before but I use it only for comparison, ie rom & kernel testing based on my own phone usage. Comparing SOT with others' results doesn't really mean anything except to those looking for some kind of useless bragging rights.
I find the Oreo update sucks. I dont know if its just me. my phones gets heated for no reason, even if its not being used or charging. Battery Life sucks so downgraded the Noughat. Happy to have the 5-7hours SOT and less heated phone.
Whats with these guys and the excessive use of exclamation marks? AND not reading before posting? There are several threads about this topic
sorry, I know some of you are just enjoy the phone etc, Im trying to find out what other people are getting as I seem to be draining pretty bad, when I use better battery stats it shows wifi running 100% despite it being off
Battery life dropped a lot with the Oreo update for me, har resetting, cache resetting nothing is helping. I get tops 3 and a half hours.
Yeah Oreo sucks I got only 3.5 hours SOT now back on Nougat I'm getting again 5-7 hours SOT
Didnt want to open a new thread for another Battery consultation. I have the 950U1 model and after upgrading to Oreo ive had an average of 1 hour and 15 min of Screen time and it drained my battery %6. Is that within the norms of how it is? Just curious.

Anyway, this is very strange as the majority is having possitive feedback on battery life, also the Oreo itself is having some battery (app) optimizations that should help... but no!
I started other thread asking for opinions about the OTA oreo, I mean only OTA, as some got their oreo in beta or cross flashing from other countries, or changing some parts, In my country we dont have OTA oreo yet, at least for officially distribuited devices which are ALL branded, (locked or unlocked), as samsung does not sell cellphones to consumers directly in Mexico, only through 3 carriers,but all these comments make doubt about updating from nougat, reading this thread has made my uncertainty bigger, in the meantime, I disabled OTA updates, just in case, maybe waiting for Oreo 8.1 would be better

You can't accurately judge/assess battery life in increments. Go through a few full cycles and see what averages out.
A complete disaster. That Dip is 45 minutes paying music with the screen off.
I've had it for two weeks, cleared cache and dalvik all that. I need know how to downgrade.
Google has been iffy. I have the unlocked Samsung note 8, I use it on Verizon. Bought it directly from Sammy

I have achieved 1800 hours Screen Off Time. Even better when the device is powered down totally. Quite amamzing.
There are other threads with the same topic.

Screen on time

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 6 Pro before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
12h 34' from 100% to 1%

Its fully stock Running the latest Miui update 10.2.2.0
Also global version. Does it drain more when phone is in idle? If so maybe faulty fingerprint reader keeping phone awake? I also use 3g always instead of 4g and nova launcher aswell.
Edit:I also can't know what's causing battery drain issue without seeing battery graph in settings
