[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] kingdave82:
Well this is weird. My phone appears to have fixed itself.

After losing around 1% per minute previously, I recharged it and unplugged it at about 2pm. Battery drain essentially stopped so by bed time (almost 2am) I have 45% left. I decided to experiment and not plug it in to test overnight drain and woke up with 42% remaining and today drain has been incredibly slow too.

I haven't changed my behaviours or any of the apps running so not sure what's happened, but I am much happier
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Galaxo60:
Maybe the phone finished learning your battery patterns; that's why battery sucks the first days.

;)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] kingdave82:
Maybe, but it's gone back to being crap again today. 42 minutes since I pulled the charger out, and I've lost 11% with barely any use at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] zathus:
My time is pretty close to the same. Sounds like you have something eating battery. I've been using YouTube and playing Clash of Clans. In the same time lost 5%. What apps do you have installed?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] kingdave82:
Nothing that appears to be drawing too much power. For example, I've disabled Facebook and replaced it with Facebook Lite.

The main draw on power seems to be from Android System, and Google - they are pulling around 5-6% each over the time, with the screen only accounting for 1-2% since the phone has been sat on the table.

The other weird thing I'm getting from time to time is a really quick drain of power from 100% to around 80-75% in the space of an hour our so after unplugging, but once it hits 75% the drain starts to slow down significantly. I've only made it through an entire day once so far though, the rest of the time I have to think about recharging (with about 20-25% remaining) mid afternoon.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] zathus:
Okay, try turning off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi scanning in settings/connections/improve accuracy and turn off location history in your Google settings. See if that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] skivnit:
The thing is the LTE modem on the exynos Is very bad as long as your using your phone it's fine but if u leave it mine bounces a lot between lte/3g and its keeping my phone awake 18% of the time. I'm down to 59% with only 1h sot. But if I use it constantly I can have 8hrs sot.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] kingdave82:
Turned all that off as soon as I got the phone. No difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] zathus:
Dang, I dunno. Definitely sounds like your battery life is less than it should be though
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] GodXen:
After many tests that got in to my mind, I still can't figure out why my battery drains so fast. Guys if you have any clue, please share your thoughts. Adding some screenshots.

Screen off drain is even higher than on screen.. wtf? Yes I'm listening to a music, but offline, with Samsung music, mostly thru Bluetooth speaker/earbud, but as I see music app doesn't uses even 1% of battery, Bluetooth also is not draining. And even if I don't listen to music it's still draining fast.

Seems signal takes most of the battery, but how can I fix it? I noticed some upload speeds are pretty low, mostly doesn't even reach 1Mbit/s, but signal strength mostly excellent.

This is from yesterday; I leave always the phone with everything enabled and synced:

:cyclops:
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Swordchan:
what the...? I disabled some bloatware and settings. Mine is doing 1.2%/hour WHEN IDLE. Why does it differ so MUCH From phone to PHONE? How is it even possible.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] MetallicS:
What's your magic???!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] meyerweb:
I use SABS to disable some of the apps I'll never use, and I'm connected to WiFi all night, but other than that I haven't done anything special.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Griffiths_Anna:
Can you please show us the list of the apps that you've disabled?

I'm currently having no problems with wifi standby, but it's a different story when it comes to mobile data standby.. It drains so fast, it might be due to the fact that the signal has always been poor.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Swordchan:
Ok, this is everything i can get to analyze my standby drain.. Can someone give me some help telling me whats causing the drain?

Disabled some Bloatware , No automatic WIFI, Location put on energysaver.. apps put to sleep..
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] mR.fR34ky:
Save it as .xml and import it to package disabler pro. Also put every app to sleep in battery settings

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] skivnit:
Well u have under 5% of wake time that's very good I doubt you can get less than that
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Swordchan:
Some people reported that they had way lower and that they only lost 1-2 % each 4-6 hour.

But i guess i can't get everything:d
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] zathus:
Weather on Wi-Fi or data my drain has been excellent. About 1% every 4 hours. Sometimes less.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] meyerweb:
Export file attached.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] GodXen:
I don't really know, but at weekend, when I usually stay at home, battery is amazingly perfect! No idea how and why, but 10% gives me 1hour on screen time.

But at work I can't even reach 3hours SOT. And off screen drain so huge...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Galaxo60:
I don't understand what's going on with the battery, yesterday from having drain overnight of about 2%, it consumed 30% now:

Percentages of everything is the same, it seems there's something hidden and draining battery, but I didn't change anything.

So weird...

:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] ssanjy:
Screens from last night.....My config, GPS off, WiFi on during sleep on Charging, WiFi power saving mode, sync off

I would recommend you guys to clear cache from recovery of not already done and check if your phone goes to deep sleep as well...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] jkpsaras:
I just upgraded from S8 to S9+

Battery life is the same.

I used Samsungs "Smart Switch" app, so my battery "always sleep" and "unmonitored" settings transferred too. Thus I'm seeing a the same background app behavior.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] ssanjy:
Another night's standby drain.... Location on but sync off... Keep WiFi on option set to While Charging

It's being consistent during last two days or so....
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] kingdave82:
After much complaining from me, I am starting to get very good battery life. I'm currently on 47% after 25+ hours since I last charged it. I have AOD off, WiFi and Bluetooth are always on (although background scanning is disabled) and I have the phone set to medium battery saver at all times.

Stats on the picture.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] ssanjy:
Got the wrong screens :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Keive:
0.4% an hour standby drain on my S9+ Exynos. I didn't do any fancy optimizing besides disabling the VR packages. Wifi on, GPS on, syncing on etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Galaxo60:
After doing factory reset and installing the latest update, my draining overnight has decreased from 3%-4% to 2%-3%.

Maybe ~1% difference doesn't seem much, but is huge taking in mind that drain was reduced in ~30%.

Even when using the phone, it drains a little bit less.

:)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] harry92008:
I suddenly see Wifi having the highest share on drain. Not sure why this is happening. Any idea people?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Shadic123:
In the first couple weeks or so the battery would only drop a few percent overnight. Now it could drop over 15%. There are no battery consuming apps I can find. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] thorcyar:
install better battery stats (with correspondding adb commands) and look for kernel wakelocks (nothing to do about it, except disable some functions like wifi), and also partial wakelocks (more related to apps). It could be anything, from bad cell reception, a router waking your device via wifi (once had that with my S3) after some update (of your router or your device), to a malicious app, or some sync going mad (for example samsung account ... disabled id on my device, cause it seems it would backup 2Gb of data at night ... and knowing samsung they could well hide that from battery usage graphs)

good luck, I thing we are all right now searching for what is eating battery at night for now
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Galaxo60:
I faced the same situation, the first 2 weeks battery was perfect and then from one day to another, it started to drain 30% overnight with no change in settings or apps.

I had to factory reset and now everything is cool again; I hope I don't have to do this again in 2 weeks.

:crying:
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] four loko:
my longest battery stint. went down 2% overnight while i was sleeping. average charge lasts 2 to 2-.5 days
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] xmatharux:
3 days!?! 5 hours SOT?! how is that even possible
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Vogal:
I'm thinking do the same. Did you think it's worth it? I'm complaining about terrible battery life on S8, so if the s9P is the same, maybe I should go to Huawei P20Pro.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] xmatharux:
or you could just get the S9P and choose settings from scratch but transfer the rest over i.e. photos, contacts etc
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Vogal:
I did it, a fresh install with Oreo on S8, and was not worth it. Terrible battery life [emoji852]️
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] sweetboy02125:
My phone drop 20% overnight without even turn on. "Standby" and "device Idle" were on top list. F me
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] bkeaver:
Mine sleeps like a baby...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] recharged20:
How do you manage this?

Even after using all blacks amoled theme, i could only get so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] LiNe1771:
I don't think loosing 4-5% is good per night. 2 or 3% is good, on your screenshot we can clearly see that you lost about 4 or 5% in 7 or 8 hours.. That's not "sleeps like a baby"
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] bkeaver:
Where are you getting 4 to 5% in 7 or 8 hours from that screenshot. You see the flat line. That was while I was sleeping. The rest was waking hours. Quit being a know it all and assume
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] bsod01:
those with exynos version, u tried changing the network mode to 3g/2g instead of lte and monitor the battery life afterwards?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] ssj100:
S9+ Exynos version here. I think I lose almost exactly 1% per hour with AOD enabled, which is identical to the S7. Seems reasonable there.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] sandeshdj:
I observed quite significant battery drain when network was on LTE. Only 2 network bars were observed. So whenever on wifi, I switch both the sim networks to 2g and turn on the power saving mode only to restrict cpu speed, background apps and turn off AOD, now bettery drain seem reasonable.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] thorcyar:
I don't recognize any of your icons : is this a theme ? (or a modded phone somehow ?)

10H SOT and 4days on battery, that would be 2 reccords.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] xmatharux:
someone please explain why I have a battery drain of roughly 5.5% per hour - that's with location battery saving and 4g/WiFi yet at night when I basically turn all my data off it does to about 1-2%...something is keeping my phone awake using data but I don't get why this is so complicated (btw this has always been the case with all my phones)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] zathus:
You basically just said "someone tell me why I have bad dreams " lol

Need some context ?

If it happens with all phones, perhaps an app? Does it do this from day one or after you download all your stuff? Can you post your battery stats?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] xmatharux:
Ok I just tested it last night with WiFi on and I only lost 4% over the space of 8 hours..I don't get why it isn't like this during the day I just mainly use my phone for WhatsApp surfing and Spotify which is nothing intense (I've noticed Spotify keeps my force awake so I forcr close it)

Looking at Gsam it shows kernal and Android system being the top 2 battery users - is there any good ways to lower these ?

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] jcsww:
This is basically how mine is as well. I have a 965W running the U1 firmware on T-Mobile. I have debloated the device a little through ADB commands. I have absolutely zero complaints with the battery consumption of my S9 Plus.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] xmatharux:
What did you debloat through ADB exactly ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] jcsww:
I remove things I don't use and feel aren't needed. Facebook, Youtube, Drive, Samsung's e-mail, and more. Some bloat doesn't appear in some U firmware that does appear in others. This is what I used to debloat the U1, which I fully wiped to and setup with a T-Mobile SIM installed. If you have all of the files needed to run adb, open the folder, bring up the command promopt, and type in, adb shell, and hit enter. Then run each of these following commands.

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.system

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.appmanager

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.facebook.katana

pm uninstall -k --user 0 flipboard.boxer.app

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.sec.android.service.health

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.samsung.android.widgetapp.yahooedge.finance

None of it is anything major that could break the device. Just useless stuff in my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] itstock:
Gross, my s9 + version is having poor battery life. Samsung went nuts with it.:crying: it's the UK exynos Ver.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] devin118:
Can you set example?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] ShivangA:
I'm experiencing huge standby drain, about 2% per hour.

I slept with 50% battery, woke up with 25%.

I have the exynos India version.

Can someone please tell me how to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] liggerz87:
I lost 8 percent over 10 half hours when I went to sleep n woke up
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Flora K Ragsdale:
Actually, it drains faster when it's being used for longer and more apps are installed and running in the background. At least for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] amosolidu:
One small problem with battery in Pie : when it remain at 5% my phone shutdown !!! Any ideea? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] mtm1401:
Drain the battery, keep turning the phone on until it won't startup anymore. Recharge the phone till full (without turning it on), when it's full unplug and then plug back in (again without turning it on), then when it's finished, turn it on and use as normal
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] amosolidu:
I'll try ! Thanks !
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Vogal:
After Android Pie, I'm getting worst results. Even if i barely touch the phone, I'm getting stand drain.

Android system is always above 10% off battery eater. Already cleaned cache, rebooted.. And I'm not in mood for factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Galaxo60:
So don't complain if you are not in the mood for a factory reset, which is almost a "must" when you upgrade to major Android releases.

I updated, did factory reset and my standby consumption increased nicely; right now I'm doing around 4%-5% consumption overnight with everything enabled and activated.

Of course battery degradation comes into play, because have had my phone for a year now, because I got it last year in pre-release time.

I greatly encourage you to do a factory reset and wait a couple of days for the phone to settle.

;)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] djoxie:
Always the same complaints... I agree that factory reset is a must, not only for major updates, but from time to time. For me it takes only an hour or so to set the phone again. Don't be lazy
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] amandio93:
Disable Secure Folder from Samsung helps big battery improvement!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] racingmatt1:
Never would've thought of Secure Folder being a big battery drainer regardless of the app being used or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Ahmedalwakeel:
For guys with One UI... I confirm that using Naptime completely killed the significant standby drain I had.... I am kinda getting 2-3 more screen hours because I am not losing anything during standby
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] linom:
Strange, for me Naptime doesn't alter anything. Tried with aggressive mode enabled for a few days and without it. Almost same SOT and standby. There could be a marginal difference but mostly it would be a placebo effect.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] chediak:
My standby drain is ridiculous. Its like 21% in 5h. Already tried everything, naptime, hard reset... im so disappointed. (Snap version btw).
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] gethsemani:
Hi!

I am evaluating to buy an HTC Advantage (second hand, of cour$e). I'm a former Nokia N800 owner, and finally I've decided to sell it because I was unable to get full use because of the lack of professional PIM soft. Despite that, was a nice tablet, web browsing was pretty good and video capability was also nice. Again, the lack of useful soft was deathly for me. My questions here (I hope no bother with my silly questions) are:

a) As I was reading, there is no way to attach the Advantge to my pc to easy transfer songs, movies and others files. AFAIK that should be done thru Activesync or an application that enables the HTC act as mass storage (as I was reading, not very easy to use by the way). Is there any other option that easily let me just connect the htc to my pc and just drag and drop files?

b) I was reading a lot of post here and in others forums and I am really concerned about the video playback performance...I am not very demanding regarding video quality, just want to see a movie or clip just fine, with no video audio synchronization problems.

c) Is the gps useless if I can't pay for any service? (This is my first gps device)

d) The htc that probably I will buy will have the rom in english; Is it possible to install it in spanish? or at least, any other option to change the dialogs and menues in spanish?

e)What is the experience with streaming radio? Can you play any internet radio stream or is there problems with some of them?...What about Youtube video playback?

Thanks in advance, I really will appreciate your time if you can answer my questions.

If somebody want to know something about the N800/N810, I have a year of "experience" using it, and I can give an honest, non very techy opinion, just as normal user. Thanks again.;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] liquidsilver:
Music: You can sync with Activesync... Windows Media play lists and libraries can be transferred automatically. Drag and drop works fine too and is enabled using Activesync.

Video: Video is adequate for playback. People are whining because they didn't implement advanced features of the chipset.

GPS: GPS signals are available globally free of charge. People pay for advance map services. Google and Microsoft both provide excellent mapping tools at no charge. They lack the voice prompts and some of the other bells and whistles of the purchased apps, but work quite well.

Language: Localized languages are available but I have not messed with this.

Streaming media: Internet radio and Youtube work fine with the correct apps installed.

I've owned a few HTC products and have been very happy with them. Good luck!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] gethsemani:
Thanks for the info :). I guess with more search on forums I will discover the codecs collection that are a must have.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] bigtsr:
I quite often just transfer cabs,movies,pics and other files from my host pc

to the 7501 via bluetooth,host pc uses usb plug-in bluetooth unit.

Video playback via native or Coreplayer is adjustable mine works great.

GPS free programs are a dime a dozen and if you can pickup an older

(2003-2006) Microsoft street/trips or MapPoint they come with pocket

pc apps and work with the onboard GPS receiver.Satellite use is free.

Youtube is viewable with right apps,check here on xda.

The phone works well although it sometimes proves cumbersome

when compared to some of the small cellphones.

The camera is ok but nothing to write home about,takes a fair pic

under the right conditions and is quite adjustable.

Many apps that run on 2003ce and WM5 run just fine

on 7501 under WM6 Pro.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] gethsemani:
Thanks bigtsr! You can't imagine how helpful are your comments.

I can assure that browsing thru differents forums, reviews, etc etc is an stressful task. I am almost decided to buy the Advantage, I felt in love with that gorgeous screen, and as times goes my eyes are demanding big screens (that was another problem with my N800).

Are you happy with the Advantage overall? I read a lot of people telling how much they are enjoying their units and how productive tool on the road it could be.

The software offer for the wm platform is incredible huge, what apps do you consider as "should have"?
