Cellular signal is a biggie when it comes to battery life. My previous house was around 3 miles from where my current house is and the cellular was weaker and I got more battery drain in fact I remember switching to 3g from 4g to help increase battery and even 2g at times.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] galaxyYtester:
What brightness is your screen on? I'm easily getting 6 hours of screen on time, usually with 20-30% left after a full day (14-16 hours) of use, this is with many apps that would be considered battery drainers (Kik, Whatsapp, etc) installed. You definitely should try a factory reset, since most of battery problems this type originate from a problem that can be fixed with one
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] JoshuaFCB:
I'm certainly impressed. Auto sync on all day
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Tom-Helge:
I'm sure you are doing something wrong, because look at my total usage time and screen on time here.

The first picture in the attachment shows the total usage time where my Galaxy S8+ only was inactive for 2 out of those 19 hours. Yes, i was using it for 17 hours out of those 19 hours in total.

But that's not all. Take a look at the 2nd picture in the attachment where it shows my insane screen on time from those 19 hours of total usage.

And the average screen on time for me now is around 8 hours which is really good. And this is also with heavy usage.

All of this is with the highest resolution, brightness at 60-70%, Wi-Fi and Mobile Data on all the time and ofc with all kinds of apps syncing in the background.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] steve17harris:
Im getting 9hrs on screem time at 5% left. Fhd, good signal, wifi, data, gps, 60% brightness. A mix of calls, whats app, facebook, youtube, emails, taking photos etc. Id say heavy usage as its a new phone. But thats it, give it 6 months to a year that will probaly be 30% less efficent so around 6 hrs on screen time. Im happy atm. I always also happy the first year of owning the nexus 6p but after a year id only get about 3 hrs ost.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
I would suggest that is your best option as my battery life is superb. I recall owning some mobile a few years back that had rave reviews about battery life yet mine was awful. Problem wasn't the mobile but some apps I had downloaded. Factory reset etc and removed some apps and all was good. Its a pain when this happens. :highfive:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sherrypizza:
Phew, the issue was resolved by resetting the phone and removing the second sim card since it's a dual sim variant. Now the SOT and overall performance is close to perfect. I don't know what caused it, maybe the second sim since I don't have any extra app installed besides Fbook, swiftkey or whatsapp. Thankyou all for your suggestions :)

You should go to the thread called post your battery life-over there we have posted screen shots of 7 to 8 hours or more on screen time....but to ease your mind on things give me a screen shot of your cycle for a full day in the thread I mentioned...because if you can get through a full day especially 6 hours on screen time then why worry that's pretty good

Never had such a great battery life. I need to start putting my phone down for a bit ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] yiyi28:
64% of battery gives you 3.75 hrs (3 hrs 43 mins)

meaning 100% of battery will give you 3.75 / 68% = 5.859 hrs of battery life (5 hrs 52 mins)

I've been pretty impressed with my battery life so far. I was a bit worried since I was upgrading from an S4 with a 5200 mAh extended battery, but I feel like the S8+ lasts almost as long with only 3500 mAh!

Hi,

I just got a SM-N9200 HK and when I rooted it noticed that it shares the same TWRP as the SM-N9208 so my question is will I be able to use custom roms made for SM-N9208 on SM-N9200 ?

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eliotargy:
You need to flash a special pit file to do that. SM-N9200 TGY.pit, I think. I think the file is available at Sammobile. Otherwise Google it.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Roflcakes123:
Hi there, a friend of mine gave me his HDX 8.9 because he told me that "it wouldn't work" and I was wondering if I can possibly fix it. All I can describe is that the device seems to be in a bootloop or something, and only powers on when it's plugged into something. I noticed that sometimes it says [fastboot] right next to the Amazon logo, but that's all i can really describe. Unfortunately, I can't show a picture since I'm still under 10 posts lol.

So you think there's anyway I can fix this? I don't really know where to start.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
With seriously advanced skills, considerable patience and a dollop of luck one can sometimes coax a looping/unresponsive 3rd gen HDX back to life from the fastboot prompt. The tasks involved are not for the faint of heart with little to no support from the dwindling HDX community. If you wish to press on the best resource may be XDA member [MENTION=5828306]draxie[/MENTION] who has the most extensive experience with advanced HDX recovery techniques. Good luck.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Roflcakes123:
Thanks for replying, do you know if there's some kind of "recovery mode" that I can boot into? I have no idea what the previous owner did to this, so I don't know if there is.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
- remove tether/charge cable

- turn off device (long press power until screen goes dark)

- press <power>+<vol-up>

- when logo appears release power button followed by vol-up

- if device enters a recovery environment with two options (stock recovery) try a 'factory reset' (probably won't work)

- if device fires up TWRP post back for further guidance
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] draxie:
worst case...

And, if your device does none of the above,

but enters fastboot mode, then you should

first check if the bootloader is locked.

If it isn´t, you can flash TWRP via fastboot

and return to [MENTION=5488402]Davey126[/MENTION] for guidance.

If it is, you´ll need to follow these instructions,

keeping this in mind.

In either case, you should be fine...

as long as you know (or learn) how to use fastboot.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Roflcakes123:
I'm not home at the moment to check if there is a recovery mode, but I did forget to mention that the tablet is a 4th gen one and that my computer did show a drive letter, so it at least recognizes the tablet. I hear 4th gen tablets are harder to work with, does this mean it's not possible to recover?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] draxie:
The more advanced instructions linked from my post

have only been verified to work on 3rd generation

devices, and could easily lead to a brick. I strongly

advise *against* testing those on a 4th generation

device, except possibly as the very last resource.

On the other hand, if you have a drive letter at times,

and a fastboot prompt at other times, you may have

a much easier path.

In any case, I neither own nor have any experience

with a 4th generation device; so, I'm afraid I cannot

help in this venture.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Roflcakes123:
Ah, well that's a shame, since I really liked how this device looks. I'll probably just let it sit there for a while until more people have experience with a 4th gen HDX. I'll probably get a tablet for myself, do most people think that the HDX 7 is a better device than the newer Fire HD 8?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Any 3rd gen HDX is a better choice than Amazon's 5th and 6th gen offerings which include the Fire 7 and HD 8, respectfully. The former is solidly entry level with limited storage and a truely lousy screen. The latter is a modest step up but, like the 4th gen HDX, has no custom ROM support. In contrast, the HDX line was positioned as a mid to high end device with gorgeous panels, more RAM (for multitasking) and strong processors that remain competitive today. A downside with pre-5th gen devices is the lack of external (SD card) and/or OTG (USB) storage options. Everything must reside onboard which can be a severe limitation on 16GB devices.

4th gen HDX devices were never popular and are unlikely to garnish further attention from the development community.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Roflcakes123:
Ah alright, I was lucky enough to find a 32GB HDX 7 for $65, so I'm happy about that. I was seriously considering the Fire HD 8 just because it's newer and has a bigger screen, but it has no custom ROM support yet so I decided not to pick that up instead.

Thanks for all the help guys, hopefully one day I can put the 4th gen HDX to use.

[T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers] Mohamed1993:
Ive noticed that a lot of times I will have something saved in my clipboard, usually a tracking number or something that I want to re-track again. So a few hours later (not copying ANYTHING) I will go back and click paste to paste the tracking number and it will show something like "http:content/media/(random number)" or something very similar.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crullx:
- There a several apps everywhere with promises like "make a full backup of your phone within minutes". Most of these apps do nothing else than backup some SMS, contacts, pictures etc... That's not a full backup!

- There are also methods that just don't work or impossible to restore. I tried THIS method for example, but no one ever explained in details how to restore the backed up data. They say that method is for experts only (?!). I suppose there isn't even a way to restore it because no one ever explained.

- There are apps like Titanium backup with which you can backup apps (if your phone is not rooted) or apps + all their settings and data (if your phone is rooted). That's a great app, but it's still not a full backup. If my system goes mad: boot loop for example, or recovery mode destroyed, or both recovery mode and normal mode are ruined... In that case Titanium Backup is completely useless and won't do you any good. So that's not a full backup either.

- There are apps like TWRP and CWM. These apps are allegedly able to make a full backup of your phone. I unfortunately NEVER had the opportunity to try them out because none of my phones were ever supported by them. (they are not on their "supported" list). I had about 15-20 Android phones, tablets etc... none of them were ever supported by them unfortunately, so please do not recommend them for me as a solution!

So I'm looking for a solution like Macrium Reflect for Windows PC. With that software you can make a full backup of your OS with a few clicks and and restore it with actually a single click, which I find ridiculously cool. I always use this if I have problems with my Windows and works every time.

Is there a similar (WORKING) method for Android phones?

I'm willing to pay if it's a paid app. I just want to know if making a full backup of an Android phone (then restoring it) is really possible at all, or is just a legend? Is it possible for average users or it's only for Linux programmers and experts?

I found a lot of solutions (mentioned above), but whether they are only partial backups or just don't work at all.

So to be clear I repeat: I'm looking for a solution for my rooted Android phone with which I'm able to FULLY backup my phone with all data on it, even system settings (not just some partial SMS-Photos backup joke app).

My phone is Lenovo Phab Plus with Android 5.0.2 on it. It's rooted. I'm not a programmer, nor a Linux god, so please if you recommend a solution be clear and make it detailed.

Solutions such as "just install dxdxc and send it through ssef and then push via sdrf, then re-loop into sstt4" will not work for me. If you mention an app, please provide link to it and describe how to use it.

Thank you in advance!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crullx:
Since no one was able to answer my question, I answer it myself:

It's impossible. All the solutions are just a myth, nothing else. TWRP and CWM might work if you have one of the few devices on their list that are supported.

If you don't, then you'll never be able to fully backup your Android Phone just the way you would do with your Windows PC.

Thanks everyone for the zero contribution!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] angka8:
Hi,

Does anyone feel that s8 plus is considered very laggy compare to Pixel XL? i bought S8 plus and had been using XL for past 5 months. til today with multiple app installed, there is no lag. app launch and app drawer is so smooth and no lag. but using S8 the animation does not seems smooth. especially when using secure folder.

hopefully a patch will resolve all these issues.

what is puzzling me is all the reviews i read says touchwiz is much better and very smooth. i beg to differ.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Jonathan-H:
I had the regular Pixel. Don't find any extra lag on the Exynos S8+ than I had on the Pixel. In fact, while the Pixel was lag city on apps like Instagram and Facebook and scrolled like it was being punched in the gut every time it tried to scroll rendering it stutter city, the S8+ seems to smooth everything out so aside from a little delay here or there when my wifi is slow, it's buttery.

At least wifi and bluetooth works properly on the S8+. Back to 200+Mbps connection from the 80ish on the pixel due to 5Ghz band being fubar.

I've had it(s8 plus) since 4/19 and surprisingly no hiccups I've been walking on egg shells hoping and praying MY s8 plus doesn't lag when ever I use it...and I'm relieved that its been a smooth ride so far...just waiting on my full two months to see if this beast slows down...fingers are crossed as I know the history of Sammy phones
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] nrage23:
I also remembered this morning on my way to work about the Pixel XL and Bluetooth. While connected by Bluetooth in my truck on the Pixel after receiving a call I would have to disconnect and reconnect it to get my music to play. Using the S8+ Bluetooth works flawlessly all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Yes exactly.

The exynos versions are always faster and have better battery life. The difference between snapdragon and Exynos on the note 7 was significant. Now that ive had a snap S8 and have a exynos on the way Im sure I will see the same thing

L Speed is a great system modification app that combines tweaks inside an intuitive application, the main goal of the tweaks is to improve performance, reduce stutters and lags, and expands battery life.

You can use predefined profiles (battery / balanced / performance) or you can apply your own customized settings.

I think that would be a good idea that Z5 users of L Speed share their customized settings and then we can discuss of the potential gains (in terms of battery life and performance).

So, I share my customized settings: my goal is to gain battery life without compromising performance and to gain performance without compromising battery life.

(Note that I don't use L Speed agressive doze, I prefer the agressive doze of Greenify).

Currently I'm following this process when I want a super clean flash of a new ROM

- Use Back2Stock script to get stock Motorola Marshmallow

- Flash TWRP

- Flash ROM

- Flash GAPPS

I keep coming back to these steps for one major reason : TWRP will not let me format or erase the DATA or INTERNAL STORAGE partition. This means that if I keep flashing different ROMs through TWRP, there will be junk data piling up in the DATA or INTERNAL STORAGE. But I digress..

I want to know if encryption is removed automatically when I flash custom rom like AOKP or RRemix? Does it depend on the ROM? Or should be including that RemoveForceEnc.zip in my steps?
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] marsisabar:
Apparently those steps also cause my to not have root in my custom ROM.

The new steps I'm running now :

- Use Back2Stock script to get stock Motorola Marshmallow

- Flash TWRP

- Flash Fixed Firmware (marshmallow version)

- Flash SuperSU v2.79-SR3

- Flash ROM

- Flash OpenGAPPS (ARM version)
