That's strange AOD barely makes a dent for me.i wonder why it is causing trouble on some and not on others.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Gary02468:
Unless people say how much charge their AOD is using, it's hard to know if we're seeing differences in battery consumption or just differences in user tolerance of the same amount of battery consumption. (Mine draws about 26mA while the AOD screen is on.)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Torquemada288:
I'll turn it back on and check the stats after a full battery cycle.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] :
Here's from the past few hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Gary02468:
Thanks! Yup, that's similar to what I'm getting.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] :
AOD isn't worth it for me right now. It's just going to stay off from now on.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jason504:
Also keep in mind that different apps use more juice than others. Like Facebook if spend a lot of time on Facebook it will eat your batteries lunch. I noticed that the other day I used Facebook heavy and my battery paid the price. You can use Metal for Facebook and it saves some battery but the app looks better. Also if you use Metal you don't have to install Facebook messenger. That's another battery hog even when you're not on it. I refuse to install messenger.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] :
Oh my god, Facebook. Yes. It's like they engineered to make that the most battery-hungry app ever. I never install that thing on my phones, anymore. I seldom even log into my Facebook and when I do it's exclusively done on my laptop. Ugh, Facebook...

I have no idea what's wrong with my battery. It was completely fine like two days ago. Yesterday, I charged it to 95%. I didn't sleep for another two hours or so, but I didn't really touch my phone either. It was drained to 63% when I woke up. GSAM said it drained 3% per hour, with most of it coming from app usage. I don't know how that's possible. I don't use facebook or anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] :
Keeping AOD off and using BK has really helped improve things immensely. I also use Greenify.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] RaymondPJR:
I'm thinking here is a good place to identify some battery hogging culprits. This is from Running Processes in Developer Options. Is there an expert that can advise on freezing Dex processes, Google VR Services, Name ID, Samsung Push? I won't touch anything if advised against it, not knowledgeable in this. I'd try putting them to sleep using Samsung's own process in Battery Settings, then if they don't stay asleep maybe a disabling app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] CalvinL:
I have no idea wtf is wrong with my phone. On one day, it'll drain really slowly when idling, maybe 1% or so.

But I charge it and then suddenly it's draining at around 3% on idle? Only thing I can say that I'm doing differently is charging to full on my fast charge and non-fast charge.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] stormy_ugur:
my battery performance was really good on s8+ but now i have a bad batter perdformance on note 8. i applied same settings on note 8 too but i still have battery drain
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Gary02468:
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but in case you're not: decent battery life for this phone would be 17-20 hours with 3-5 hours screen-on time, WQHD+, all radios on, no convoluted power-saving measures.

I don't know what your needs are, but for me it's sufficient to get through the day (16 hours) on a single charge after recharging overnight. I actually don't need even that much, since I have a wireless charger on my desk and an adapter in my car, so my phone is seldom off a charger for more than a few hours at a time.

Some people may need better battery performance than that, but some others seem to treat battery life as a kind of game score that they're obsessed with maximizing, whether or not it serves any real purpose.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] slyphnier:
do u mind check your chip quality ?

some said it have some relation with battery usage

turn of your phone -> press and hold bixby+volumedown and then power to boot to ODIN

check CL0, CL1, G3D score

most people seems getting around 6 for both CL0,CL1 (big little cpu) and 3 for GPU

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/chip-binning-t3673750/page4

well i dont chip binning causing massive battery different... but if you already tried everything else and still seeing poor battery life, why not take a look of it

personally i think around 5~6hours is normal for note8
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jason504:
I have been getting great battery life. Especially for running at max resolution and screen brightness at 85 wifi and blue tooth getting on a average 6hrs of OST.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Yorgo1982:
No battery issue have the phone since the 16of August I have the S8+ as well. I do same task on both phones note 8 stays 1 hour more.

P.S: I listen a lot to music .

I text a lot . Play a lot with theming , icons etc.

AOD always on.

For sure WQHD+

And I get 7h to 8h of use.

Can't be happier.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] jason504:
I have been into phones for a while now. Every time a new phone comes out we have these threads complaining about poor battery life? Now if you're getting 2hrs of OST something is wrong with your phone obviously. But 4 to 8hrs of OST is not bad. Not trying to get on people but enjoy your phone stop worrying about the battery life. With my V20 I would be lucky to get 3 1/2hrs of OST it did not bother me it still lasted me all day. On my Note8 I am getting around 6hrs of OST I am happy. If I was getting 3 I would still be happy. This is a awesome phone and I enjoy it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] CalvinL:
My battery has been complete trash. It's draining over 1% per hour on idle. I don't use facebook. I use a Fitness pal app widget, wechat, and only have a few emails coming in every few hours. Bixby disabled with bk disabler, but wifi and location are on. I'm factory resetting for the third time. This time I will only transfer contacts and calendar over. If the battery drain persists, I'm going to see if I can get a refund because this is absolutely ridiculous.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] AndiF85:
Update from last week battery has gone worse again but I'm at the point that if I need to disable the features which make this phone what it is then I might as well sell it and buy an oldschool Nokia. In other words everything is on and I'm just going to enjoy it.

Stupid question but what's BK?

I'm guilty! I'm either at my desk with wireless charger, in my car with fast car charger, or at home with wireless charger. I don't spend more than 4-5 hours somewhere where I don't have access to a charger.

However it still gets under my skin when I see wild battery drop. I think I have deeper underlying issues I should attend to lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Gary02468:
Nah. As human quirks go, this one is pretty harmless. May as well indulge it on occasion, but when you do, be aware you're essentially playing a video game--and at other times, just ignore the battery and enjoy all the phone's features instead.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] AndiF85:
Just one thing I'd like to compare to others is the battery drain over 1 hour with screen off and also battery drain with screen on.

Currently I lose 2% per hour screen off with AOD turned on and 1% every 2.5minutes when screen is on and no apps running (just sitting on home screen with all apps put to sleep and using a dark theme).

Based on that SOT battery drop it works out to 4hrs in total from 100% to 0.

Going to try some of the apps mentioned to see if any software/apps are draining in the background otherwise will visit a Samsung store to get them to run some tests and see if it's hardware (faulty battery). My s8+ was better but I wouldn't think the small increase in size would make that much difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Taco1:
Just got my Note 8 and instantly noticed insane battery drain. My previous phone (S8+) easily lasted all day and more. The note 8? It's unbearable. For example, I went to work the other day, mind you we lost power so the closet cellular tower was down. So I had no service. So my phone was at 100% (7AM) to 52% (3PM) while IDLE...that makes no sense. My S8+ would've lost 5% at most. I don't use my Note 8 any differently than I did with my S8+, and I've even done multiple restores on my Note 8 and the problems still persist.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] ShadowFlare:
4G/LTE signal health affect your battery greatly, the lower the signal, the harder your phone has to work to hold onto the signal. Especially when it starts dropping to 3G/HSPA, EDGE, and eventually No Service.

You said your closest cell tower was down and your phone had no service, this is completely different than, say, switching to Airplane Mode and just run on WiFi. While your cell tower is down and your phone getting no service, your phone 4G/LTE modem will work at max power to search for signal, hence it will eat up your battery. This is why there's that advice saying to put your phone in Airplane Mode in areas where your phone cannot get any service.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Taco1:
Even still, there's been an instance where I went to bed one night, Note8 fully charged and it dropped about 30% while not in use. It's unacceptable. Also even if the phone is still searching for service when a tower is down it shouldn't drop that much. My S8+ wouldn't go no more than 6-7% so there something definitely wrong with the Note8's battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Shuthefrontdoor:
I'm only losing 2% on my note 8 overnight, I find the battery is ever so slightly under the s8+ I use to have. So maybe you got a lemon?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Taco1:
I restored it just now and it's much better but yeah it was definitely lemon status so before
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] wcr84:
I feel like when a user goes into the Samsung battery optimization area and selects actively to put apps to sleep that this is causing more drain. I know it sounds like I'm losing my mind here but doze is already buried into android and manufacturers can not turn doze off. My advice stop self selecting to close apps and put them to sleep if you are. Let android handle it and see what happens. Also, even though stats didn't show it as a major drain. Facebook being repeated has improved it majorly. I use Samsung internet with push notifications for that.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Title101:
I noticed just recently what look like horizontal scratches at the bottom of the back glass. I can't feel the scratches and they actually appear to be on the inside. It's like something had scratched the paint from within the inside. I always keep my S8+ in the Spigen case apart from taking it out of the case to use it in the Gear VR. The case completely hides these scratches and I only noticed it when taking it off the Gear VR. Has anyone else had this happen to them? I just can't figure out what could have caused these and hope that the water resistance is not compromised in some way as a result of this.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] anewday:
Maybe the Gear VR caused it while taking in and out?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Title101:
That's my only guess so far although I didn't think there was that much force getting applied. The only other thing I can think of is that I was sitting in a theater recently and the phone was in my pocket pressed against the cup holder.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monteie2016:
I have the latest version of Elementalx and the Elemenatalx App Manager running. I chose 2800Mhz during the install and the phone is running stable. In the App Manager the max CPU speed I can choose is 2800Mhz. I would assume that is because it was chosen during the install (TWPR). If I wanted to try 2900Mhz or even 3000Mhz would I just go through the install process once again via TWRP. If that is what has to be done, would I have to install SuperSU once again to regain root access?

Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ktmom:
I haven't used elemental in awhile, but my memory is you do need to go through the install again to change the setting.

You will have to reflash supersu (or any root) after installing the (any) kernel again.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monteie2016:
Thanks for the help. TWRP and running the install again seems to have done it.

You would have to root it or push the new animation with the ADB shell. You might be able to mod the build.prop and get the ota update for the international version but I'm not sure.
[Networking] main-core:
I just received my phone after being in service where they replaced my motherboard (Allview V1 Viper L a.k.a. Gionee Pioneer P6). I put the SIM card from my temporary phone (working fine) to my personal phone. On my phone (the one from service) there is no service, as it is displayed on my lockscreen NO SERVICE - ORANGE. I tried selecting both manual and automatic network (Can't connect right now. Try again later - automatic & Error searching network - manual). My IMEI seems to be fine, it's the same with my last IMEIs (they changed motherboard, but not my IMEIs). I did try to put the SIM card in the both SIM sockets - no difference. I checked again my SIM card on another phone - works OK. I did a factory reset - no difference. Is it something that I can do? I don't want to send it in service again, as I think it's a software problem to whom I could? find the solution. Comment if you need additional info about my device.

Hi Everyone,

PIP (picture in picture) is very famous in Oreo builds. YouTube is the app that can make most of it.

However if you don't want to flash unstable ROMs just to get this feature, you can install Newpipe app. It's an open-source application which is hosted in F-droid.

https://newpipe.schabi.org

I understand many of of you might already be using. I thought it can help others who are yet exploring.

There are many more features like background play, video and audio download etc are available.

I have attempted time and time again, even with your new site, but i cant get CF Auto Root to work on my Samsung Galaxy J3 (2017) SM-J327T and my Galaxy J7 (2017) SM-J727T. They are both coming back with SECURE CHECK FAIL (RECOVERY). Others Methods i have tried failed for SECURE CHECK FAIL (Cache) which i was told meant Locked Bootloader. That being the case, why is Recovery failing on your root method.

If it is a Locked Bootloader on both devices, if there a way around this?

Thank you in advance!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ashyx:
This has already been explained to death. Chainfire even reiterates it on the new website.

Binaries, that includes recovery and boot images, that are not signed by Samsung CANNOT be flashed on a bootloader locked device, period.

No matter what the method.

Firmware.mobi doesn't add some new magic that can bypass bootloaders. It's simply an automated process.

It still stands that if your device has a locked bootloader it simply will not work.

Extract the ZIP, instructions inside...

It does install SuperSU.

Though you say 'flash this zip', which implies you have TWRP, in which case you can just flash the SuperSU ZIP and don't need CF-Auto-Root.

How big are the firmwares?

Can you put one of them on drive and link it to me so I can test if it has something to do with the firmware images itself?

It normally redirects to a queue page after the upload which shows you the status... what happeend? did it just redirect to the same page again?
