why does my battery suck that much? is it normal? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hi,
I'm coming from an iPhone 8+ and iPhone X, and I am really shocked.is it normal that the battery lasts only that low?
I have uninstalled a lot of bloatware with "adb shell pm uninstall" and yea, i lost 12% in a about 1 1/2h with only 15min SOT and AOD disabled
Is that normal on note?
Device is not rooted and has XXCRD2

Check your software update.
When i updated my note 8 to oreo... battery life was terrible..but when april security patch came... suddenly battery life problem was gone... I'm having an amazing battery life and TBH it feels like battery life is really improved....more improved than the device first came out

You can't accurately measure on such a small amount of usage... it doesn't extrapolate well. Run through a few full cycles and see from there what your actual usage is.

The battery life on my Note 8 has been pretty good even after the Oreo update. I could easily get 2 days battery life of a single charge.

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 Samsung Galaxy Note5 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
SOT is usually 1 hour 23 minutes at 50%. With the Display brightness a little less than half.
The biggest culprit is Android OS stay awake time is always high.
Man I've been more than impressed by my SOT of the Note 5 compared to my crappy old Nexus 6. I can get 4-5 hours on here vs the 3 hours max I got on the N6. Blows me away. So much better phone than that was too.
I normally see about 3hrs on nougat where as MM I usually got closer to 4 hours which is a bummer but still reasonable. Main issue is the screen off battery drain on nougat. Seems to want to drain 8-10% per hour no matter what I'm doing most days.
It's ridiculous. I've drained my new note 5 in 2 hours SOT just browsing Web and reading this forum. I've got 4-5 hours of browsing with my old note 2. That's just crazy low. Xiaomi MI max 2 can easily give you 8 hours SOT. Thinking of exchange already :/
I don't understand how it is possible that every big review on the Internet that I found claims it is more than 8 or 10 hours of Web browsing possible on note 5! How can it be true? Some tests on YouTube shows there is only 4 hours from 100 to 0 without heavy cpu and network utilisation and just screen on...
I consider myself as a Power user. I Only get 2:30 hours no matter the screen resolution, 1080P or 2K. Nougat or Marshmallow doesn't matter. But I'm OK with that, I have a lot of apps and 3 Gmail accounts so I'm getting notifications all day long.
Oh man flashing the n fuel xl Rom was probably the best thing I've done with my note 5. Sot is still lingering around 3 hours or less but stand by time has literally doubled. Now when the screen is off, the phone actually chills out and doesn't burn up battery.
Went from 12-13 hours to 25-26 hours with my normal usage.
new note 5 user here
after reading many of your comment guys, i feel really lucky
i had a note 2 for more than 4 years (still have it) and with my average use i usually get 3.5-4 hours of screen time on
i just bought a note 5 like a week ago and i'm getting more than 6 hours of screen time on
i use the powersaving mode on "mid" and i usually dont need more than a low brightness ... i dont use my phone for games that much cuz i have a ps4 for that ... usually use it for social media and these stuff
i know its very good only bcuz i just got it but with my experience on the note 2 i will try not to drain the battery life and keep it good
note is just the best there is

Oh can you show me a link to the Rom? I am not a heavy user so about 2h sot is fine for me. However I need my phone to be able to last longer while in Standby. I get only 11hr of the phone, including 2hr sot now.
My note 5 battery is dropping >10% per hour with light use. SOT guesstimate to be about 3 hours. Standby drain is great but not when I start using it. Such battery drain defeats the purpose of a smartphone. I guess Samsung has a reason to design the phone with irreplaceable battery. Ordered the S8+ as replacement.
I was studying my battery life/SOT today. I managed to take some screen shots when my phone was around 8%. I'll upload them a little later when my phone is charged up. I let it drain all the way to try and calibrate it. I notice it shut off today at 2%. Around 8% I noticed my screen on time was over 5 hours or higher. Can't recall now the exact number but it seemed unusually high. I think I got around 10 hours of battery life. Once I post screen shots later can someone tell me if they seem accurate and if I get good battery life since I just upgraded to Nougat?

True. Irrespective of MM/Nougat, there is not much we can do about SOT. The best case can be just above 4 hrs. I am on PureX ROM of Rajeev. Between FuelXL and PureX, the best part is on Deep sleep. When the screen is off, the power consumption is close to Zero. The only reason appears to be that both the ROMs are heavily debloated. Any further major improvement to battery life of Note 5 can be only with Oreo ROM. In my Oneplus, i flashed custom Oreo ROM and the battery life is dramatically extended. So, lets wait and pray for Oreo form Note 5.
So everyone on stock N gets around 3-3.30hrs of sot. Felt relieved to read becoz i was worried and thought mayb my phones battery has loosen its capacity.
Btw is there any app that can tell us exact wear level of the battery?? I tried googling some apps but none gave me the exact info that I needed.
I thought my battery was still bad even after changing it but I'm getting well over 3 hours of screen time so it looks like I'm all good for now
I have 4.5-6 hours SOT every day. I'm on stock N, GPS, wifi, sync and lte on all the time. However, every now and then I make a cache reset in recovery, always after a new app installation. Guess my system is quite clean. Battery life is awesome om this device.

Before I sold my Note 5, estimated the battery wear with AccuBattery.
I recommend getting LG V20, its a great upgrade to the Note 5.

No way you're getting 4.5-6

Post your battery life

I'll update the OP once I got my first battery stats.
Here is the first charge. Regular S9 what do you guys think? Mixed use between data and WiFi
I hope we are not getting screwed compared to the plus model. We will have to see and wait

(Copied from another thread) S9 Exynos here.
Second full day (after a half day when I got it) and it's been pretty horrible. I expected it to be average or not great for the first couple days, but this is nuts.
I've got everything on - location, sync, AOD, Bixby, etc - and am losing about 5% per hour with the screen off. Ending the day on 15% with only an hour or two of SOT.
Will be keeping a spreadsheet log of it, including what services are on and how I've used it, so will report back. Hope it improves naturally with everything on though. Reception is also surprisingly average; in the bathroom at work my Pixel 1 had decent enough reception to load videos, but my S9 seems to struggle to even load images. Pixel 1 had 3G in an underground pub, but my S9 couldn't get any data at all.
First full day (Snapdragon)
Haven't actually charged to 100% (except the first charge) and recorded stats. I'll have to do that and see.
But the first night after setting up my phone, during 8 hours of non-use, my battery level only dropped 4%. The next night, with AOD on, it dropped only 11% during 8 hours. Pretty happy with standby battery performance.

My only suggestion is to make sure you have the display auto-adjust and to make sure nothing is running explicitly in the background all day.
Turn off Wi-fi, Bluetooth, NFC when you aren't using them.
2days turn on time with 5hrs SoT!!
Awesome.
You guys are posting some pretty decent numbers, considering all the negative coverage. 6hrs of SOT is pretty respectable and with my usage patterns it will last more than a day
Exynos S9
Used for 1 week
Disabled Bixby, Facebook
WQHD
Power saving mode off
AOD off
Max SOT 3.5 hours
3 times factory reset still no luck
Should I send my phone back to SAMSUNG for replacement?

Note 9 drain over night

Hi all,
I having issue with my note 9, and I’m new to using note, is a 4% drain normal? Unplug at 12am and not use since and this morning I check battery was at 96% at 6.45am
How long have you had it. It takes some time for it to do battery optimizations but that drain doesn't seem too bad.
tat is only my 2nd or 3rd charge, have it only for 2 or 3 day
I have been draining about .7% an hour since I got it. I wish it was little bit better but the SOT more than makes up for it.
Sorry, but what is SOT? Screen on time?
So now on android ppl use SOT to measure if a battery usage is normal?

I have the same issue
I have snapdragon n9600ss first I have enabled AOD and sleep like 2 am and wakeup 8 am check and 90%
I disable AOD and now have 94%
It's the same percentage I have with my old s9 but with AOD so I don't really happy with battery
I will wait 2 weeks and see if get better

Wow I'm telling you some of you people have some really unrealistic expectations. Your complaining your phone looses a few percent in 6-8 hours. What do you expect? If you don't want your battery to drain then turn off your phone or plug it in. And then don't come complain you miss calls or have to have it plugged in all the time becusse your worried about a few percent while you sleep.
YoshiYino said:

Preferable to not leave it plugged in at night if you want to lessen the longevity of your battery.
~.7% an hour is not bad. With root and older phones I was able to lessen to 2-3% per 7-8h. Ideally that is what you want, less than .5% an hour. But we don't have root. Other ways to get less drain at night during sleep is to turn off sync or airplane mode or better yet turn your phone off. But as I said .7% an hour is all day for me in standby. I don't even know what it is at night, probably less.
I've been getting well over 10h SOT and had another hour or two of SOT left should I have chosen to drain down to <5% battery. I have been able to get 8h+ SOT over 36h on a charge. Your expectations are unrealistic as are many others on here. Be realistic or get another phone.

That's interesting has to be a app causing the drain what third party apps do you have installed? the screen res wouldn't affect anything in terms of battery life because the screen is off. I charged last night and I'm at 16 percent right now on WQHD almost been 22hrs since I charged my phone

Change the resolution to WQHD+, the power saving is too little to worth the downgrade of screen quality. Tested on s7e,s8+ and s9+ and read about it for note 9.
Also worth to note that iphones tend to show less drain at high percentages and then speed up after below 60%, i.e. if you leave the iphone over night with 30% battery, most likely it will drop 1-2%. Still, iphones standby is a little bit better vs android and samsungs. I achieved 1% drop over night or non in M8 android 4.4 times, not since them. My best is around 0.3%/h via root and custom tweaking, for samsung stock it's normal to have 0.4-1%/h. Hope that brings some clarity.

How do i see what apps is draining the battery?

[OneUI 2.1] How big is the battery life improvement for you?

Although to a certain extent, we even came to doubt that Samsung would update the Galaxy S9 and Note 9 devices with the OneUI 2.1, it is finally here, and it cames with Deep Sleep Apps feature, which will allow to actually suspend all services and processes associated with an app.
This has resulted in a relatively big battery life improvement when the device is on standby with S10 and S20 devices in controlled tests1.
Galaxy S9, S9+ and Note 9 are devices released more than 2 years ago, and surely the battery stamina is not the same as they were in their first months of use. Samsung stats that the batteries used on these devices should keep a decent stamina for 2 years with the average user.
Some people have used their phones with battery care measures1, in order to extend battery life.
So, with the recent release of OneUI 2.1 for Samsung Galaxy Note 9, the battery life with the device in standby is expected to be longer (but not the screen on time), although the magnitude is yet to be determined in the coming days.
This thread is aimed to share our opinions on the subject, as the update becomes available and we can evaluate the battery life.

IOS uses a choise in his battery settings to charge the battery up to 80 % of it's capacity and then charging will stop to improve the battery's durability.
It's known that standing in battery's 20/80% capacity increases its life and durability and doing this you can charge how many times you want because one parzial charge will not be counted as an whole cycle of charge so the battery might last more than 3 years going on like this.
This choice is not implemented in Android even with one UI 2.1 and it's a shame even if the new feature will improve battery's autonomy due to the lower consumption of the apps and even if it's impossible to perfectly be able to stay in it's 20/80 percentage range, there's an app that I found that will avert you when reaching 80 % of its charging capacity so you can disconnect the cable to preserve the battery....

You're right and I keep charging between 30 and 80 but this shouldn't be how the phone charges by default as you said. Many people charge from 15 to 100 and want that extra 40-50% they'll get by doing so. I found that without fast charging it takes 1 hour from 30% to 80% so it's no big deal to look at the clock when you leave the phone on the charger.

Even your right, there are even people that continually from 0%(completely dead) goes to 100% after charging the battery for the whole night... that's why what I said for charging should be a choise (like in IOS) and not a default setting.... strange thing that Android or Samsung didn't consider implementing this choise. Fast charging even worns the battery first... it stresses the battery and it will last less but at least they gave us a choise in using it or not.
Absolutely true! Samsung should have implemented a feature to limit charge at 80%, or implement a Bixby Routine to enable this behavior (for example, when charger is plugged at night)
50% increase in my case. And i used OTA Package to update manually.
From: 4h SoT in 24h
To: 8h SoT in 24/30h
Idle times are impressive.
EDIT: just FYI, i rarely charge up to 100%. So my average case is from 85/90% to 5%. Very rarely do i go for a 100 to 0.
One UI 2.1 improvements are all courtesy of the Deep Sleep feature.
I've added everything i barely use or dont need to create wake-ups on the Deep Sleep list. On the normal sleep list, i have low priority things like Play store, etc. And i make sure i white list everything i need untouched (Messenger, WhatsApp, etc) and also do the same thing on the Memory management. Solid results.
Edit: 100% to 1%. 10h SoT with a 30h cycle. It's like getting better and better.
My tab a 2019 has the 80 percent feature and I do not understand why they wont offer the simple setting actually I do because phones they want you to replace the phone instead of the battery in 2 years. I run my note 9 from however low to 100 every night but only because I dont have the option these newer android 9 then 10 now 2.1 adding more and more apps into the firmware but wont add a simple little feature as this. Also I would like to be able to choose if I want to do ota with my data! But I cant.
For me One UI 2.0 was already worst with about 3 to 3.5 hrs of screen on time. Now with 2.1 i barely get close to 2 hrs of SoT. My note 9 is running stock since i bought it at launch and have never done any factory reset. Only thing i do is wipe the cache after a upgrade.

Bro you need to factory reset and start fresh and if that doesn't help something is wrong with your battery I get 9 SOT all the time with 10 2.0 with android 9 it was about 6 SOT, I haven't received 2.1 yet. I have us unlocked version.

You have a snapdragon variant which is anyway much better than exynos variant (my phone) for battery backup.

Stop saying Exynos is not good for battery life. I can easily get 8h SOT of regular usage on my SM-N960F running OneUI 2.1. Obviously I don't play games like Asphalt 9, etc but I never use power saving modes and never limit myself in order to save battery life. I play 8 Ball Pool when I want to, I watch YouTube for as long as I want to, I browse Instagram and use Samsung Internet Beta when I feel like it. Not once have I ended up in a dire need to recharge when I was outside or when I needed to use the phone. Also the phone charges 50% for 1h (I charge between 30 and 80%) so I just leave it charge while having dinner, watching TV or something like that - when I normally wouldn't use the phone anyway.
On my N9 seems battery life abit improve from previous 2.0. Sammy did great job this time.
Here is my screenshot to prove it.
It takes time to see improvement in your device's battery life after installing OneUI2.1. As the software AI needs to learn all your habits again before any improvement in battery life will occur. This process should take a few weeks

battery life

have been using Rog 3 about a month and noticed that the battery is not that great especially if we consider it is a 6000mha, at least in my device
thought i would share some screenshot to my battery and hear your opinions if you think it is OK or there is something wrong
What did you expect? Your battery life is pretty normal for a 6000mah battery device. Not piss poor. Not great. Just normal. Were you expecting 3 days standby time with normal usage?
I might see it wrongly but the first pic is showing the phone is up 1 day 9hrs without charging, that's more than what I would asked for.

Something is wrong with your set. Please get a refund from the seller. Even by playing PUBG or COD in X-Mode at max brightness does not drain from 100% to 0% in 3 hours.

What did you expect? Your battery life is pretty normal for a 6000mah battery device. Not piss poor. Not great. Just normal. Were you expecting 3 days standby time with normal usage?

New phones have 5000-6000 mah with either Snapdragon 700 series or mediatech . This processor uses it pretty well giving 10-11 hours sot to me

Can't compare a 60hz screen with a phone giving 144hz screen. The drain of the screen will be much heavier than 60hz.
The 6000 mah battery is really good when you compare from specs point of view. Higher CPU clock speed, higher GPU clock and higher screen refresh rate and faster and more RAM. A Ferrari will use much more gas than a standard car even your Ferrari have a bigger gaz tank.
I can use this phone without ever think about getting out of juice before I get to sleep.
In the last 7 hours I used my phone for 4h20, playing game during 2 hours (COD and PUBG) and 50% of the battery remaining. So if I keep using the phone that way it means that I could run out of battery with about 8h SoT and 4 hours of gaming. I never had a phone allowing me to play that many hours of high quality games with all graphics to max.

Yes, I don't know a phone that gives you the perfect battery calibration. This phone show a loss of battery really fast in the first 10% then afterward it is slower.
I remember my Sony Z Ultra was really slow to lose the first 10% then battery was dropping really fast until reaching 20 25. And the remaining battery was longer to be used than the 60 previous %.
Or my HTC Sensation XE that could be used about half a day to drop from 5% to 0.
