Screen time

I had 9 & 8 hours on this phone.but I had 4 hours too.after checking a few times.i see if I leave my phone on charger all night and not time off as soon as it says battery fully charged.i will only get around 4 hours.if I take off charge around when it 1st says fully charged I get around 9 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] piscabarka:
Battery is excellent for me. 1 time charge is always enough for a full day use. Depends on usage, in average with gaming (around an hour) and 50/50 wifi/4g will get 7-9 hours sot. Got 10-11 hours sot once, with less gaming and wifi all day. That with 20%-30% juice left most of the time. Noticed when on wifi the battery last longer. Dark theme, 40-50% brightness, greenified.

Also if only getting 4 hours.let the battery fully die.then recharge fully and take off the charger soon as it says battery fully charged..

Hello guys, how's the battery life after updating to Oreo? Is it better than Nougat in term of battery life? If it's lowering the battery life's performance then i won't be updating to Oreo :)

I have changed my theme to a dark one and i'm getting 2 more hours of SOT (usually)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] zeloleoz:
I have everything maxed out e.g. Auto screen brightness, QHD+ resolution, AOD, many gestures enabled but unfortunately still getting average battery life. IF I turn off AOD, it increases the battery life a LOT although I love using AOD. Oh and I'm using Exynos variant of Note8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] zeloleoz:
Update: at 3% battery... I think it's not bad at all considering the SOT.

Hi..note 8 have 2 version exynos and snap..battety life exynos is better or snapdragon.???which model have more sot?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] zeloleoz:
Generally Exynos variant has better battery life.. If we're talking about SOTs, it depends on how you use your phone.. I've been getting 4-5hrs SOT on my Exynos variant. I'm amazed how some people here can achieve 6-7 hrs of SOT on their Note8 which I'm unable to:crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] hamed_zoho:
Im getting 4 sot and 7 sot..depend my phone on 4g or wifi....im getting with wifi near 7.30 hr sot..on 4g near 4.30 sot..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] zeloleoz:
If I disable AOD, only then I could boost my battery life greatly reaching 6hrs of SOT

Guys I have the exynos variant and I have anything from 6 to 8 hours of SOT consistently since I got the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
So I'm using Accubattery Pro for over a month and charge my Note 40% approximately 40-80% consistently.

I get about 4 hours of SOT on average from 80% charge to %40 or 39%. Very good.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Onemoret1me:
Usually a lurker but had to sign up to see what others thought. I can't post picture since I am under ten posts. I have a snap. With wqhd, Bluetooth s3 frontier, location battery saving and about 40% screen brightness I'm averaging about 4 1/2 - 5 hours with less than 5% left.

I turned on mid power saving, fhd, 40% screen brightness and I have 4 hrs 22min with 26% battery left. I tried using gsam but didn't see anything crazy and I just got a replacement phone so technically I tried a factory reset. Trying to get the 7 and 8 hour battery life like yall especially without sacrificing turning off half of the phones features.

hi all

how disabling apps without root and without creating bugs please?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] :
Until now you use package disabler from playstore. It's a good easy paid way.

Now there is a better. Sabs from here xda, Google it. Free, remove ads, include package disabler. With it i done the previous record of 9+ hours sot. But it is difficult to install..

Hello! Is it possible to lose 202 mAh after 85 loads?I have the European Note 8 F version. Do not Samsung boast that their new batteries lose 5% after 2 years of normal use? Do not count the way the system works? The problem is I checked the charge with a stick meter with the phone closed and shows me at a total charge of 2923mAh. I do not know what to think . :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] :
I don't believe accubattery can measure accurate.

Although i definitely don't believe samsung about 5% in 2 years.. Just marketing because it put a small battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] michelino159:
Nor do I believe everything Samsung says. I'm sorry you put a lot of money on a phone with a very low power. On such a screen they had to be 4000mAh. We can see at Note9 put a bigger battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] sefrcoko:
I agree that the phone could definitely benefit from more battery power, but then again so can every phone! I wouldn't however say the Note 8 has 'very low power'. Many (including myself) get perfectly acceptable 6+ hours SOT with max resolution, etc. It could always be better, but if it's really bad for someone then they are doing something wrong :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] michelino159:
6 h SOT if you stay on wifi. :) If you stay on 4G then half-life, especially if you have sync, gps etc. If you have a job that you are all day off you need mobile data and cables through the car. :)

---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 PM ----------

By the way ! How do you handle your phone? Allow it to download below 20% and load it up to 100%? I try not to let it discharge more than 20% and charge it up to 90% so it does not affect the battery. Are I doing good or should I not take these things into consideration?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] sefrcoko:
Not in my case...easily lasts 1-2 days and I'm on 4g too with sync turned on, but yes signal strength, GPS, standby time, usage, and all that stuff are factors that can affect the totals.

Yes that's a good habit to follow. It won't give you the best SOT to compare because they are 'partial' charges, but the battery will last longer over time that way. Discharging too low or charging to max capacity will reduce the lifespan of the battery in the long run. I think the sweet spot is 40-80% (or maybe 20-80%...can't remember right now :)).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
Turn off that T Mobile app and Pr.adapt process should give you longer times.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] dieselhazza:
I just got a Note 8 and it seems to be having poor battery life especially coming from a sony xz premium. I was expecting much better battery life from the note considering it hss an oled panel. I am currently disappointed with the battery life. I will see if it continues to be the same in a wreks time i may return it back
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] dieselhazza:
I don't see how anyone would get more than 5 hrs screen on time using this phone. Especially 7 hours, that would have to be really conservative usage. Basically not doing much with the phone. I think as a phablet phone the mate 10 pro would be a better option. This phones battery life is doing my head in
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] sefrcoko:
I've never got less than 5 lol. Usually lasts 1-2 days easy with moderate usage and decent/poor reception. How is your signal strength? Do you use AOD/GPS, etc. Brightness level? Maybe one of the extra apps you installed is draining battery faster than it should? Etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] dieselhazza:
I know what you are saying but I have disabled most my bloatware using package disabler. I don't have Facebook or Instagram which are known to drain battery. I have no games installed. I have Snapchat, WhatsApp, telegram as my main apps. Email sync is set to manual. Brightness is sitting around 30%. I don't see what would cause poor battery life especially on a new handset. I don't want to return such a nice phone but if battery life does not improve over the week i will tske it back. Might aswell get the mate series or pixel xl 2
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] sefrcoko:
I hear you... that's frustrating.

Did you also have poor battery life before disabling all those packages? Some have reported that disabling certain ones actually increases battery drain. Might be worth re-enabling them and then test for a few days to see how it settles.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] dieselhazza:
Yes battery life was bad before i disabled apps. So I'm taking it as the battery life on the note 8 is not so good compared to other devices out there. I will give it a week to settle then if not any better I will move on
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
Show a list of what you have disabled. My battery got worse if I disabled certain packages.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] :
If you don't know what to disable, most disabler apps propose a bloatware list, which won't do any harm.. Begin from there.

Yes id you disable some services, you will end up worst.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] dieselhazza:
Note 8 was shocking. Especially with battery life. On top of that it has 6GB ram and it still doesn't run as smooth as the pixel 2 xl. The note 8 is still stuck on Nougat which is bad for a premium phone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] sefrcoko:
They are different phones with different strengths... You seem to value the factors that are strong with the Pixel (battery, software) more than the factors that are strong with the Note 8 (s-pen, screen quality, etc.). No problem with that, but it is a personal preference to value those things over others. The Note 8 is amazing, but it definitely sounds like the Pixel is a better fit for your specific needs. Enjoy.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] vojopd:
It is running smooth for me. Never had any lags... battery is OK, not great. We are on a battery thread, not SOFTWARE AND RAM. So basically, just get yourself a pixel, and stop the hate with mentioning other stuff. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] dieselhazza:
I hear your pain but for a phone aimed at businessman which basically is heavy user. Battery life this bad can not go in favor of the Note 8. Everything else on the device is pretty much spot on but this phone definitely needed a 4000mah battery like the Mate 10 pro.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] sefrcoko:
In my experience it's really not that bad (at all), and besides that business users use email, office, s-pen, etc... Not talking 'heavy' battery usage like movies and gaming in that case. I'm not even rooted and still get 1-2 days easy doing everything I want. Perfect for most business users. Still, bigger battery always welcome for sure, and to each their own of course if a different device suits your needs better.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] dieselhazza:
Hahah I'm sure 9 out of 10 people will take battery life over screen. Also with high end phones the screen quality is fairly similar. Also when you are out of juice on your note 8 don't think you will have a screen to stare at. Battery life is crucial so don't underestimate the importance of battery life

---------- Post added at 01:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] sefrcoko:
That's a false choice...and no, screens are not all fairly similar (brightness, resolution, size, panel type). You may have had poor battery life, but that's not reflective of everyone's experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] zeloleoz:
This is the best SoT I've got yet on using Note8 with only single charge. My software is still Nougat. Before I always get 5-5.30hrs of SoT but today is the first time it reached 7 hours SoT.

My phone's conditions are:

-Screen resolution is QHD+

- WiFi on if at home, Mobile data on if outside

-NFC turned on all the time

-Location set to High Accuracy all the time

-Always On Display is activated daily from 6am to 9pm

-No battery saving options turned on

I can say, out of 7 hours 3 hours are from reading mangas using Manga Master. Somehow it doesn't show up in battery stats.

All I can say is wow. I've never had battery like this before on the note 8. I used to only get like 4hrs SOT in half a day. All I did was re-partition nand wipe with odin and tudah.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] cseboux:
Hi all,

I really get upset with my N8 SOT, but I think that in my case the problem is coming from proximity sensor.

According to GSAM each time it is android system which drain more than any other app or even screen. Moreover my N8 is almost never in deep sleep and I think it is the proximity sensor which is the cause.

For one charge let's say that I get around 4 hr of SOT with std use and I get my proximity sensor on for almost the same time with many wake (for example right now: 1h20m of SOT and sensor is 2h7m (346) !).

I had the same issue with android Nougat and waited for Oreo which did not correct anything. I never rooted this phone and pay attention to wipe cache, factory reset when I updated to OREO, disabled fast charge...etc

Do other people facing the same problem and is there a way to correct that ?

Thank you guys for your advices !!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] afro972:
i check chez re-partition when i try flash with odin, how did you do ?

thx in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] petzku:
Little tutorial would be great!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Real Life Review] guaneet:
in odin you have the option to re-partition and to nand wipe. that's what i click. however, i did have to obtain the PIT file (located in the CSC file. make sure you make a copy of that file, then extract the PIT file from the copy). the rest is self-explanatory. place ALL the files(including PIT) in odin and check the right boxes then click start.

I do boot into recovery right after it finishes flashing and i proceed to factory wipe it to ensure all kinks are wiped.
