Hi guys,
Have been using my new note 9 after replacing it with my s8+. So far it's a pretty good phone. One of the primary reasons for me to get was the large battery such that it will last m even more longer. But I have been noticing poor performance everyday. At the end of the day, I am bleeding to 10%. The s8+ was given to my wife and I compared her usage vs mine and for same amount of screen time I ended up at 30% and she was at 67%. I have less amount of apps installed than hers and she is heavy user of all social media apps. I have been observing my battery performance and what seems to be draining the most is the Android system, Google play services and Android OS. They claim all together half of my battery life. I noticed that there was an update right after I setup my note 9 initially and not sure if that could have caused it. Is there any way I can reverse it to see if it was the update? I have already tried wiping out the cache and shutting down all background activities on those items and blocked notification on pretty much most of the apps. How is everyone else's experience on the battery? I forgot to capture screen shot but will do it at the end of today.

I'm chiming in because I'm currently using the Note 9 ATT variant. My battery life has been pretty decent, but it's tough because the usage and even my "all day" and your "all day" can differ so much. Are you using 1080 resolution or did you set it to the higher resolution? I'm also running the ATT update you mentioned. But I'm also using wifi calling, not sure if that hurts or helps battery life, I haven't used it on my previous unlocked international HTC devices, so I'm just starting to experiment.
Have you enabled any of the battery optimization?
You can go to settings/device maintenance and click on battery on the bottom. I have it set to off in the "presets" but at the lower part of the page you can see "app power monitor" and see the app's power usage per hour. If you've got some that are higher, you can click on just those apps to check them on the list, and then click "save power" and see if your battery life gets better.
Possibly if you're using always on display you can modify that, if it's not something you really need and have already addressed.
Thanks for your reply. I am not running any battery optimization. I wanted to try default. Yes, I looked at battery usage per app and don't find anything bothering or consuming extra battery. Resolution is set to 1080 and always on display is off. Also. Wifi calling is on at all times. I am not sure if I am expecting too much but after using s8+ for over a year I was expecting much decent battery life with less than half of the apps installed on s8+ and having a bigger battery on this beast. I will need to find out how to lower down those Android system, os and Google play services.
My device is unlocked but on AT&T's network and I'm running my screen at max resolution and close to max brightness. My screen and AOD are always one and two with the O/S running a distant third or fourth sometimes fifth. If Google Play Services is consuming that much battery it is constantly running in the background trying to sync or pull data which it's not getting. Focus on that application and you should be fine, my phone is typically at greater than 50% at the end of the day and I use it all the time.

How do you find which app or service is running in background which is trying to pull or sync data?
Just a note, I had to drop t-mobile to make a point with them for screwing with my account. Houston has good coverage but the network is congested and that is an understatement. My battery life went down on my V20 and my note4 when on ATT's network. Not that the reception was always poor, because it is very poor at my house, but speeds and latency on ATTs LTE were like going back to HSPA. Sometimes it was better to turn off LTE and just put up with the super high latency to get decent speeds on ATT.

Go into settings/apps/Google Play Services/Battery and see what it's been doing. You can restrict the app as well from there I believe, also clear the cache. As I stated I would focus on that app specifically.
My experience was rough when I first got the phone as well. I factory restored with Odin and used ADB to remove all the apps I was not going to use. I then i stalled all my apps and the battery life took a hit again. I'd come home from a 9 hour day of work and be in the 40s. I downloaded betterbatterystats and let it monitor my phone overnight. I found that com.att.iqi was running all the time and constantly causing wake locks. I downloaded package disabler pro and disabled that package. Now when I leave work I am at 75% battery for the past two days. By bed time my phone has been off the charger for 18 hours with about 4 hours screen on time and I'm between 25%-35% which is outstanding. I made a thread with my complaint comparing the battery to my iPhone X and was called a troll because android can do no wrong. In short get betterbatterystats and package disabler pro.
Thanks for this, I was wondering if betterbatterystats would work on my Note 9, but hadn't researched it yet. It's a great app specifically for targeting issues like this, but I've always used it on rooted devices so I didn't recall if it worked on unrooted devices. I'm looking forward to trying it over the next few days and slimming this thing down.

Try Wake lock detector lite. One simple adb command allows you see wakeup locks etc ..

My battery life on the ATT version has been garbage too. I was going to return it, but I missed my 14 day window. Thus far, my S9+ was a better device, but I'm hoping the little bugs get squashed in an upcoming update.
One thing I'm wondering about is Bixby. My battery life seems to be pretty decent with ATT. I don't use Bixby, although I haven't disabled the app, I don't have it set up or signed in.

I actually managed to return mine and got another note 9 thinking that I would try it without doing the first update. Unfortunately that software update thing popped up while I was using the phone and I hit continue by mistake. I am kind of thinking about returning this one and getting the s9 plus if I still have this crappy battery life.

I'm not a battery life hawk,but,there's a few things you can do without crippling your phone (some already mentioned) before throwing in the towel.
1) Go to each app in SETTINGS > APPS > MOBILE DATA & turn off ALLOW BACKGROUND DATA USAGE on apps that have this option & where you're absolutely sure this will not impact something important to your usage.
2) Package Disabler Pro was already mentioned,it's well worth the price of admission. This is where you'll likely see the biggest improvement,surely no one here uses every single feature/app on any phone,force stop & disable what you're not using.
3) Again,I'm not a battery stat ninja,I just use my phone as I see fit,but,others have suggested try using FHD instead of WQHD for screen resolution. I myself use WQHD,but,I'm content with my battery life,however,I'd give it a try if I felt the need.
4) If you have NFC on,turn it off until you need to use it,access to it is quick & easy. I myself do not use NFC,but,even if I did,I can't imagine I'd use it to the point to where I'd leave it on 24/7 for convenience of use.
What's important to your usage is in the eye of the beholder,so,that's the extent of my recommendations for battery recommendations. The few I've mentioned should net some improvement without negatively affecting your routine usage.

Yes. But it seems to stop working once the battery level reaches a certain point. I think it was somewhere below 80% , probably 60% . I installed it last night.

THX,gonna give it a go. :good:
I may drop the developer a line,since the app hasn't been updated in a while.
Perhaps there's been some changes in Android 8 that haven't been addressed.
Regardless,I'm gonna try it out.

I'm trying to ascertain which one to use. Apparently this app shows all wakelocks whereas better battery stats only shows partial wakelocks, from the small amount of research that I've done.
The dev apparently doesn't respond and has abandoned the app, again from research I've done

I am trying a rundown tomorrow with power save. Just CPU and screen brightness. I left resolution and network usage on. I don't think brightness does much. It is supposed to be -10% but I have trained my auto brightness some and I have been having to turn it up. So I think only speed limiter CPU 70% is at play.
Honestly my battery isn't that great, after having almost everything disabled (except bluetooth, wifi and gps on battery saving & aod) I am still losing atleast (lowest screen off discharge rate) a 1.3% with an average of 1.83 over a 10% small test atleast according to battery historation. This is while using greenify along with samsung's own battery optimization.
Over this 10% (from 90 to 80% battery) there were over 40K kernal wakesources here's an image showing the wakesources and wakeup reasons.
I'm trying to point the reason to why this happens and my guess is whats on the title so what are they ?, Userspace wakelocks seem reasonable, the highest being spotify for 4 minutes also here are the device power estimates
I'm not using mobile data btw as I dont have data on my SIM (I use a portable router). I am honestly in a pickle, I have no idea what more I can do except put on powersaving mode and disable the rest but thats absolutely counter-intuitive, my S8+ lasted me 2 days with everything I used enabled.
I'm looking for solutions that dont involve me replacing the phone or resetting at the moment (I dont mind doing the latter at some point but the former is harder to do)

Okay, so what model device do you have and what is your daily SOT?
What's your carrier?
Do you have good coverage in your area?
What kind of apps do you run?

Portable router is probably the culprit. LTE is more efficient than WIFI for me and has been since the Note 4 when power envelope tracking was introduced.

Exynos 128GB, my max SoT has been 6 hours with everything disabled | Greenified. That was yesterday but after I let the phone die on its own and then charged it back to full its as bad as non-greenified everything enabled. Coverage is good enough (usually good/great), Here are my apps https://pastebin.com/0D7VJGh0 I even deleted some of them and the rest are disabled. Edit: Actually, every customization app here and every store that isn't the playstore has been removed

Doesn't explain why the S8+ was much more efficient, also according battery historian wifi power usage is 0.02%/hr

Hmm, I would suggest starting over by wiping and setting up your device without any apps other than the ones that come on it. Use the device for about a day, install one app, use it some more after a full charge, and so on. You can try that to see if you can track down what's going on.
Heavy battery drainage for last few months. Even more battery drain since One UI 2.0 update in my unlocked Note 9 Snapdragon phone.
Things did:
1. Formatted the entire device.
2. Cleaned cache.
3. Greenified all unnecessary apps.
4. Location access set to only when using the app.
5. Dark mode enabled to all available apps in the device.
6. Fast charging only with original cable.
7. All necessary settings changed.
8. Dark wallpapers and Lock Screen.
Things it always runs on:
1. Bluetooth with Gear S3 and Buds.
2. Location permission turned on when using the app only.
3. Edge Screen set to ON.
4. Edge Lighting set to ON.
5. Screen AOD is set to Tap to Preview.
Im having the same problem too and it made me wonder that samsung might be doing this intentionally forcing you to upgrade to note 10. maybe note 10 sales not doing quite well as expected?
maybe rooting and using a custom firmware might solve this. but which one is more like stock with extra features and easy on the battery?
i am having battery drain on exynos version SM-N960F on stock android pie. it started almost 2 months back. may be some apps are doing this.
maybe you guys need a new battery? mine is fine even on android 10
The sm-n960f has reported terrible battery life across the board since day 1. Few people with it have been happy here on the forums.
I have the snapdragon on 10 and as if right now my phone's been on for 3 days without charge, 4 hours SOT with roughly 6 hours of LTE Pandora streaming.
You can try checking your Google account sync in settings>accounts and backups>accounts>{your Google account}>sync account
Are any of the items showing a circle made of 2 arrows on the right side of the screen? This means you have a sync error. These are because Android/Samsung's battery savers have placed that corresponding app in sleep mode.
So if you have a calendar sync error, you'll need to go to settings and search for "optimize battery usage", and search for both the calendar app and the calendar storage app. (Usually calendar, contacts, ECT have 2 apps) and de-optimize them. This should help immensely.

Just de-optimizing them isn't quote the solution. It only will make a difference if they are failing to sync under account settings>(your Gmail account). You'll know this because alongside calendar, contacts, ECT, there will be a gray circle. And what ends up happening is Google keeps trying to sync, keeping the phone activate and draining battery.
This happened to me sometimes after is updates, but as of Android 10, it hasn't been a problem and battery life has been good.
Maybe your right. I've not seen any improvement in battery as of now. Still draining heavily

You should look under Settings > Device Care > Battery > Battery Usage... See which apps top the list of heavy drains. On mine, I noticed the recent Google Play Services app was draining the battery the most.

This is also a common problem. There are 2 separate solutions. I would try them in this order
1. Clear app data /cashed for play services
2. Install Google play services beta from the play store
See if that doesn't improve battery life.
I was a bit concerned about Battery after setting up my new S21 Ultra (coming from a POCO F2 Pro) which lasted me two days +).
It's early days for me but I've put most of my APPS into deep sleep within Battery settings, and under developer options, I've turned off background processes using 'background processes limit' and selected the option 'don't keep activities'.
Seeing quite a good improvement so far!

I thought it might, but it does not seem to. The ones that I wanted notifications from I didn't put into a deep sleep, just normal sleep via the Battery Settings. Still getting notifications. I just put all the junk apps I don't care for into deep sleep.
Developer Options changes I made do not seem to cancel out any further notifications but still testing.
Sure the Developer Options last?

Don't know about how well that will work.
On my 10+ Pie variant I learned to disable all power management because it cause erratic behaviors and ate battery.
I address the power hogs on a case by case basis... it was time consuming.
Browsing with Brave or watching vids now I use about 12-16% battery an hour. While I do have to manually sync gmail I don't have any unexpected behaviors and all apps run well.
Perhaps they worked all the bugs out but more than likely they added as many as they removed.
Give Google enough time and they will screw up anything.
Not the real McCoy yet, but I've got a pretty good 6+ days battery endurance, light use 60 Hz and AOD off. There are some tiny charging spikes for a minute or two each time I had to move some files to and from PC.
Moved most all location settings to "only when app is in use" or off all together.
Seemed to make a big difference.
Also Always On to "tap for".
Used 60hrtz from the beginning. Just not enough difference to justify the 120.
All together battery life is immeasurably better.

could you all tell if you have the snapdragon or exynos version ?
My ultra on TMobile has been good. I make it through a full day with aod always on and Bluetooth synced to my watch. It's a much better battery experience than my pixel 4 xl
My S21 Ultra Exynos lasts about 1 day and a half with aod always on and synced to my watch.

Hello guys, I want to tell you about the adjustments that I have made to my Xiaomi 11T Pro and that have improved battery consumption, keeping the refresh rate of the screen at 120Hz. I would appreciate if you could tell me how it went. Greetings.
1.- DEACTIVATE AUTOMATIC UPDATES.
In this way we will avoid that the mobile is constantly looking for updates and therefore consuming battery.
1.1- We go to the Play Store and in Settings / General / Update applications automatically, we mark not update applications automatically.
1.2- Once this is done, we go to the Miui updates. We follow the route Settings / About the phone, click on the number 12 that is in the upper left as when we want to update
and then in the three points that appear in the upper right, we go to the update settings option and deactivate download automatically.
2.- DEACTIVATE THE WIFI ASSISTANT.
This option allows the mobile to automatically change the network, without us having to be aware of it, but it uses the battery unnecessarily. We are going to configure it to do it manually.
We follow the path Adjust / Wifi / Wi-Fi Assistant, enter and deactivate the option to select the best networks automatically.
3.- DEACTIVATE THE GAME TURBO.
This option is aimed at those users who do not use the phone to play, if so, deactivate it because it uses a lot of battery. I do not play much, rather little, even so I do not have it deactivated.
We go to Settings and in the search bar type game turbo. Mark the 2nd option that of Game Turbo Security, it will take you to the app, once inside, mark options that are next to the + sign, at the top right. Once inside, uncheck the Game Turbo option, it is the first.
4.-DEACTIVATE THE PRINTING SERVICES.
We have these services to connect to printers active all the time and the phone will be constantly looking for printers so that we can connect.
We go to Settings and at the top in the search bar we will write print. Click on the only option that comes out, now click on System printing services, once inside we will deactivate it. We will see that on the screen below, we have a blue bar with a text that says looking for printers in this way we prevent it from constantly searching.

OTHER ADDITIONAL SETTINGS.
Let's go Developer Options.
Registry Buffer Size, I have it set to 1 mega.
Window animation level / Transitions animation level / Transition duration level. All three are by default at 1x, lower them to 0.5x.
Display: Manual brightness, almost full, in dark mode
Screen / Color scheme in Vivid.
Greetings.
Good advice. As a how to guide you should include more "how to" steps. For instance how to disable apps via adb.
How much SOT are getting now?
remove bloatware using root?

No, you don't need root to to debloat, i recommend turning on usb debugging in developer setting and use Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot tools

Pretty disappointing. Around 5 - 6. Rarely 7h but by activating battery saver mode and with light usage. Not very well optimized TBH. My 3 years old Galaxy note 9 with its degraded battery has the same battery life. 11t pro should be a 2 day phone without any issue

I tried but couldn't uninstall a single app. Always got the "not installed for 0" error message. Any thoughts?

Well I didn't uninstall them, disable is enough, especially with the apps that can't be disabled via setting.
Yup, pretty much disappointed with the Battery performance compared to my Redmi K30 Pro Zoom.
It barely gets a 7hr SOT and it have a 5000mah Battery. My K30 pro only has 4700mah and it easily gets a 7hr SOT with 10 to 15% remaining battery.
I'm waiting for an EU Rom for ViLi as they do a good job at optimizing their roms.
Yeah battery life isn't great on the 11t pro. It hardly gets to 7h SoT. I have a Poco X3 Pro AMD it easily gets to 10h SoT.
Hope this gets better with future updates.
remove bloatware by using
ADB AppControl
Other things that really improve battery life are :
- Disable always on display
- disable doble tap to wake/sleep
After doing the second, my battery improved drastically you'll have to. Get used to lose that feature, but for me. It's worth it.

The best intermediate option is to have the always on display on but set to turn off after ten seconds, then a single tap on the screen will show the always on display and any notifications, this saves powering on the phone to check the time or if there are waiting messages, so this saves power, as the always on display does not wake the main CPUs.
Double tap to wake should not be a power drain. With light use over the holidays I'm getting 5 days between charges and that has double tap to wake enabled. The only way double tap to wake might be a power drain is if it is constantly being doubled tapped by accident and the phone keeps turning on.
Hope that helps.
Well, this is mine best so far

what are your settings/usage?
Display on 120Hz, 4g network, all the settings from 1st post except nr.4, which i aplied yesterday, nr.5. and buffer size. I also disabled animations.
Standard apps were used during this time, 9gag, vanced youtube, mail, messaging, camera....
If your phone need 20 min of charging from 0 to 100 , leave it on for additional 10 minutes.
Battery great or nah? (120hz)

You need to close all background apps and reduce the brightness. This is at least.

Closing background apps is unnecessary due to Doze mode and Xiaomi battery saving, as background apps are effectively frozen most of the time on Android. Having them opened then closed and unloaded from memory just means when you need them again they have to be loaded and re-initialised which increases power consumption as it takes more work to load an app than to bring one from the background to foreground. By all means give it a go, but generally it is pointless unless the app is misbehaving, but most are not these days.
Looking at the screen shot, it would seem a lot of battery was used by playing Mimicry which would use quite a bit of processing power plus power for the screen at 120Hz. It doesn't look too bad to me.

I personally think it might be because you are using the 120w charger of the 11t pro. I tried accubattery and it should some weird results. Try it with a 33w or lower charger...
