[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] icemankent:
GodXen - and everyone.

I have the SD variety (Canada).

I did the same thing that GodXen did.

In a nutshell, go into the power modes, select Medium, and basically don't enable (any) of the power saving features.

From doing this, you would (think) that you would negate any power savings - since you did not enable any, and you are not crippling your phone's performance.

BUT - there has been a DRAMATIC IMPROVEMENT in battery life - almost DOUBLE the usage and SOT that I was getting before.

I have no idea why this is, as in my settings - (just like GodXen) - I have not enabled any power-cutting functions at all.

I have not noticed any performance degradation or any other changes in the operation of the phone.

I have no idea exactly "what" the phone is doing differently, to achieve a (minimum) two-fold increase in battery life.

I will do more testing, of course, but for me, this has made my phone a beast that can last me 2 days.

I hope someone out there can look under the hood and come up with an explanation of what's going on inside the phone.

The normal mode must be doing some serious "hidden" background operations to chew through the battery so quickly - vs (whatever) is going on in Medium mode (with no saving features even enabled).

Why u need to use that?

My battery with wifi is superb, with 4g is about 6 hours. Never used that, that bad battery is probably user fault. View attachment 4462239View attachment 4462240

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Galaxo60:
The tests I did regarding the battery saver mode, showed me that even when you leave background sync activated, some apps stopped working.

Was clear for me for Google Wallpapers, that didn't change wallpaper in 2 days and also with Kiosco not updating the widget in the homescreen. Other apps stopped working as well.

So far, I haven't been able to find a way to make them work with the battery saver mode, but yes, I agree the consumptions are far way better when you enabled it.

:)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] turtuv:
any of you has android system as second app on battery consumption?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Galaxo60:
Just disable background activity for Android System and you will notice a difference.

;)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] turtuv:
thanks here too! btw, what's the normal percentage of consumption for android system?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Galaxo60:
For me after disabling the option, is no more than 5%.

The first days this Android System was consuming around 48% of my battery.

:(
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] turtuv:
wow! i'm at 12%, but the phone is only 3 days old and i'm charging it now for the third time ever...anyway i disabled that option and i hope that it will work :)

---------- Post added at 02:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 PM ----------

i have a problem: i tried to disable the background activity for android system, but after i rebooted the phone, it was active again :(
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] LiNe1771:
Your phones have some serious problems.. Mine is at 4% after 6 hours.. And I already 5h sot at 56%

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] turtuv:
How is it possible? 5h sot at 56% are unbelievable...what settings do you use?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Galaxo60:
Yes, each time you reboot the phone, the options activates itself again.

You need to disable it each time.

;)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] LiNe1771:
Nothing, just watching Netflix, instagram and telegram. When I don't watch videos I get about 8h sot.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] turtuv:
so bad..it's not a definitive solution :(
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Galaxo60:
Yes, is not, but is a workaround so far until Samsung decides to patch this.

Also to notice that some people run the option enable with no further problems; I don't understand why this is happening, but it is what it is.

;)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] turtuv:
very strange...well, i hope that samsung will release a fix soon :) thanks again ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] todd3835:
2 hours with the screen on, texting, some gaming (20ish minutes) and web browsing. Some YouTube while connected to my TV (usb-c to hdmi cable). Sure I'm on wifi, but I should easily get 6-7 hours SOT. I've never had a phone with more than 4 hours SOT.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] todd3835:
Am update. Just shy of 3 hours SOT at 52%. That includes streaming music with the screen off for probably 30 minutes, as well as driving with GPS on, streaming music over Bluetooth for 15 minutes with screen off as well. My ram sits at .6gb free right now, so I run a lot of apps in the background. This phone runs very lean for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] turtuv:
Is that true that charging the phone with cycle "100%-15%" is bad for battery life? I want to keep my phone for years, but I don't want that the batterie will die sooner. Even so is it impossible to change it

If you want to have your phone for more than 2 years you should charge between 40-80%

my old 3 years old S7 edge has a perfect battery and always charged it from 15/20% to 100% :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] LiNe1771:
Stop lying. Your s7 surely its at 70-80% life. If u don't even know how to check it, don't talk.. ?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] mtm1401:
SD or exynos? I've just found battery life to be very inconsistent just about gets me through the day with medium use.

I've turned it on to give it a go, been achieving about 5 hours SOT with about 14 hours off charge when using mobile data.

Interestingly it doesn't reduce geekbench or antutu scores when in power saving mode - will see if it boosts endurance.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] meyerweb:
Remember that battery percentage is a zero sum game. The less you use your phone (and the less battery is consumed by apps, screen, radios, etc.) the more is going to be consumed by background processes like Android System. If you charge your phone fully, then put it aside for several days without using it, you'll see that System, OS, Device Idle and Cell Standby take up nearly 100% of your battery usage. OTOH, if you turn the screen on and never stop using the phone long enough for it to shut off, Screen and whatever apps you're using will be close to 100%, and System, OS, etc. will be very low.

Percentage is not the same as actual battery consumption.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] turtuv:
Easy with words. Why lying? I'm telling you a fact. I don't know the percentage of the battery life (I'm not a professor like you), but I know that my battery had last a full day of use and I always reached 4h sot easily. Believe it or not, doesn't change the fact that in my case it is what it is

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Derpling:
If so, how is it? The mate 9 is close to perfection, but the mate 10 pro is really attractive.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] James_Watson:
My Mate 9 still works fine. So I would keep to use it. :)
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] vang2k:
I was at best buy earlier today and played around with the mate 10 pro for a few minutes. The build and tall aspect ratio was OK but for some reason I prefer the 16:9 mate 9. The oreo update on the phone feels almost about the same. The kirin 970 does feel a little snappier and smooth but overall I would wait for the phone to be under a few hundred dollars. It wasn't like your getting a totally new phone for the money just slightly better specs and the screen was good but not like a night and day difference coming from a mate 9.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Okiera29:
Yup, most of the reviews of the Mate 10 Pro were 'meh' The oled screen is the biggest change. The chipset is not all that much faster. When I played with the Mate 10 at BB, I really didn't notice any great bump in speed. My Mate 9 is a year or so old and runs great.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] p51d007:
Nope, sticking with the 9...I've only had it 6 months.
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] itsjustmeagain:
I think the Mate 10 Pro is a real downgrade. I don't know why this Pro Version even exists.

No audio jack

No SD card slot

Glass on the back surface

Bad White through Oled

2:1 Display, though this is a matter oft taste

No autofocus in the front facing camera

I would never buy this …
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] Icetea:
That’s my opinion too!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] rbt001:
I have both phones and honestly have not noticed any big difference....
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] egotheist:
And no wireless charging that could justify this decision. I'm not saying that wireless charging is a breakthrough, but at least you know why do you have glass instead of metal on the back of your phone.

Screen dimming in apps still not been sorted in Oreo, if anything it seems worst than what it was on B185 Nougat :/
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Revengebg:
Yep , they are not fixing it on purpose ! Will never get Huawei phone again with these bugs !
[Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ixon2001:
It's one annoying bug was hoping that Oreo would finally fix, but it seems to have gotten worst not better.

If Huawei don't sort this out soonish then i may consider getting rid of this phone & picking up a Nokia 8.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] naicinhcet-soi:
Hi all,

I'm new here.

I have been asked to save the data of a GT-S5660 stuck in reboot loop here. There was no attempt to jailbrake the device.

As far as I know, the device is in it's original state.

I have recovered all the important data from the microSD card, being Images, Videos and Audio Records. The contacts had already been backed up by the owner.

My question is, if the internal "data" folder might contain any pictures or Videos or can I safely wipe and reset to factory settings?

There is no backup of the device itself, and since it is stuck in reboot loop I can not use the official software to backup.

I used adb shell to look into the internal memory and access to the data directory is denied.

I tried with "su" too but again, I get "permission denied".

I found an "Update.zip" here in the forum, which is for the GT-S5660 (that is the whole model name, no other letters after the "zero" ) and followed the instructions in that thread, but apart from applying the update without any error message, it did not give me root permissions.

Hence the question if there is anything worth saving in the "data" folder.

Thanks for any help
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] naicinhcet-soi:
I tried to solve the boot loop with no success.

[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Hardi_GER:
Hi guys,

I bought the honor last week and i am so far very satisfied.

However I noticed, that the autofocus rarely works when recording 1080p (60fps) video.

At 90% it does not work at all (unless I touch the screen to focus on a certain point).

When recording 1080p (30fps) and 4K the focus works perfectly and the picture gets sharp without my intervention.

Did you notice similar behaviour on your Honor View 10?
[Honor View 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Targaeryan:

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Sotirisdim4:
Hello, so recently I got the A3 and noticed it's from Italy (language of first boot, manuals etc), however I'm in Greece... Normally this shouldn't affect Anything (and plus it's nice that Italy got Feb 2018's patches while Greece is still on Jan 2018's) however there is one app that installed its Italian variant that wouldn't work in Greece so I had to download the app from the play store (Samsung members) and some regional settings that defaulted to Italy. Sim works fine and stuff but I'm wondering if this will affect something... Anyway the model is SM-A320FL and it's unlocked... Can I flash Greece's firmware on it? It currently has ITV firmware... Also, which variant of the Greek firmware is suitable for an unlocked phone (The EUR one I imagine)

Also, will this void the warranty

UPDATE: I flashed the greek firmware, however after being disappointed that a lot of features, mainly in the camera app were absent, I decided to reflash italy's firmware and lo' and behold all my regional settings problems were fixed! Turns out that the Sim card fixed everything... I didn't have a Sim at the time of first getting this phone so it was sort of half Italian half Greek... Moral of the story... If you set up a phone from a foreign country, for the love of God do it with your sim card in the phone! For some reason Samsung pay is in italian but that's ok I'm too young to use Samsung pay, much less a credit/debit card anyway...

[Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus Questions & Answers] edofalcone:
Hey there, I own a Mi5S Plus with MIUI Stable 9.2.1 (based on Android 7.0).

For a bug that gives me a terrible battery drain (3 hours of screen usage tops) I decided to install Lineage OS 15.1.

I've got last version of TWRP (3.2.1-1), Unlocked bootloader, the phone has ben rooted.

As explained on the official guide:

- Factory reset with TWRP;

- Install *.zip file with last LOS update, positioned in /sdcard/

- Returns ERROR 7, I do exactly as suggested online

so:

- I delete “assert” strings from “updater-script” file and I zip it back up;

Here I have 2 different outcomes:

1) Invalid zip file format (I used both OSX and Win, using both native apps and third party ones);

2) Missing file “updater-binary” even if it is right in the zip.

What if, being the string after “assert” referring to a specific MIUI version, the problem is due to my installed MIUI version? It makes no sense, I know.

Here's what I'm talking about:

ui_print("Target: Xiaomi/natrium/natrium:6.0.1/MXB48T/V8.2.4.0.MBGCNDL:user/release-keys");

What should I do? I've tried them all!!!:(
