With Messenger you mean the Facebook Messenger? Well no facebook, no friends at facebook to chat with ;).

I just dont like this company at all. The idea behind it is really cool, keeping people connected. But what they do with your data isnt. Not a tiny bit.

And if the trend goes on, WhatsApp will also be uninstalled someday. But this would be hard, since nearly no one uses an alternative messenger.

Whatsapp does the job for me and its much easier on the battery.

But back to the topic: Have you tried this Lite app?

Should be less stressfull for your battery.

Sounds a lot like my usage, also the settings you have done. Did you also disable 4G active while on Wifi? Its hidden in the developer settings.

Otherwise im currently ~32,5h off the charger with 42% left. My screen usage is at 2h 22min, so maybe 4,5h overall in this run. But its not too bad cause of the overall runtime, as standby also drains the battery.

If im pushing the battery more without trying to achieve 2 days i have no problem getting to 6h of SOT.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ssj100:
That sounds very similar to another poster here who is also having issues with dual sim battery drain. He also made the same comment about having better battery life with other "top of the line" phones. Interestingly, I thought you posted a screenshot of 8+ hours SOT with the exynos recently (and 15+ hours SOT with the snapdragon). So I suppose those figures weren't a good reflection of your "average" SOT? As now you're mentioning only half that SOT, despite quite a few tweaks too.

Question - it sounds like you have around 9-10 hours where you're not actively using the phone during a typical discharge cycle. Do you have a sense of what your hourly standby drain is (I asked the same question of the other person having issues and I think he mentioned about 1% or less drain per hour)? A good way of observing it is leaving the phone uncharged overnight. I'm just curious as to whether your relatively poor battery life is mainly due to excessive standby drain or excessive drain despite only doing light-moderate tasks. I ask this because, in my experience (and also with people like Galaxo60) and demonstrated in numerous battery drain video tests, heavy use (eg. GPS navigation with high accuracy) tends to drain the battery by around 10-15% per hour and very heavy use (complex games, video calling) tends to drain the battery by 15-20% per hour.

Assuming a standby drain of 1% per hour (which is on the high side with AOD disabled and a good wifi connection), you can see that even if you played a complex game for 2 hours (40%), then an hour later (1%) you did a video call for an hour (20%), then an hour later (1%) you spent 2 hours navigating Maps with GPS on high accuracy (30%), and then you went to sleep for 6 hours (6%), your battery would be down to about 2% over a total of 13 hours on battery with 5 hours SOT. I'm probably giving the high side of the estimated battery drain in each task too. And this should be without any significant tweaking (based on my experience, and unless those video tests forget to mention tweaking etc). It sounds like you don't do any of these heavy or very heavy tasks, and therefore your SOT should be more like 6-7 hours over 20 hours or so (just a rough guess to make the point).

So assuming your hourly standby drain is also around 1%, then the only thing I can think of is an app that you're using or a task that you're doing (or some specific combination of apps/tasks that exynos doesn't like?) that is draining the battery more than it should. Or throwing in a wild speculation, somehow there's a built-in kernel backdoor that activates while your screen is on and is secretly doing something that drains your battery more hehe (and of course doesn't show up in any battery stats).

I know the occasional poster has also mentioned having only 1-3 hours SOT, so you're not having the worst reported SOT I suppose. It would be interesting to know what the hourly standby drain for those people etc is too.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Sabertooth:
Where have you seen me posting 8+ hours with the exynos? It was of 6 hours and 50 minutes in the "screen on time" thread achieved when additional battery saving steps like bk package disabler disabling huge chunk of services and apps and keeping location in power saving mode. (bk no more working as it's removed from playstore and I went for factory reset after BRE5 update)

4 to 5 is the average sot with 13, 14 hours with few battery saving steps. No wakelocks no battery hogging applications.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ssj100:
My mistake, I thought it was over 8 hours. Right, so you needed to do some super tweaking in order to get over 6 hours of SOT. And even with some "battery saving steps", you only get 4-5 hours SOT over 13-14 hours on battery.

I'll ask again though, just out of curiosity - what would you estimate is your standby drain? Over 13-14 hours on battery, you're presumably not actively using the phone for 8-10 hours. So during this 8-10 hours, do you have a sense as to how much battery is drained? It should really be around 10-15% at most, which means you have 85-90% battery to get 4-5 hours SOT - this averages out to be about 18-23% drain per hour while your screen is on, and as I mentioned in my previous post, this usually requires very heavy use such as continuous gaming or video calling - is there an activity or app that could be doing this?

Now if over the 8-10 hours of standby (screen is off), you're noticing something like >20% drain, then I would suggest that something isn't right here and that some rogue process could be contributing to that drain?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Sabertooth:
Correct.

Standby battery drain wasn't very high like 8% in 6,7 hours and post latest update its like same or little more.

No gaming and once in a while video calling. But while using any app and service it drains up more battery when I compare it to the G-9650 and Sammy's countless processes ,services are a culprit for sure and it feels like those are "handled" better in the G-9650.

Those are my experiences . I know there are people who are just fine with the Exynos model as well and it's better for rooting and going that extra mile. But for me, the unlocked snapdragon is the winner.

Let's not flood out here like other threads and let others give their views and opinions.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ssj100:
The only other thing I can think of is that your carrier may have installed something built-in that is conflicting with the Exynos model, or some combination of apps or activities are conflicting somewhere. Otherwise it's difficult to know why there is such a discrepancy between users. Perhaps dual sim doesn't play well on this Exynos model?

I think the moderators can give an opinion on whether this is considered "flooding". The way I see it, this is useful discussion and right on the topic of "Exynos battery life".
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Sabertooth:
No carrier bloats. Unlocked phone. Dual sim could be a reason with the Exynos for sure but the battery issues with the Exynos S9 phones are all over in the internet and for me, it is a real thingy.

The way you looked at your own writing may not necessarily require other users to look at it the same way and every forum user has the right to be a moral police to keep the firm clean and neat. BRB
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] patrik.sodoma:
Hi guys,

And now tell me, where does mine battery percents go? :confused: :D

I am really not happy with this device battery life, as I am used to using my smartphone as a SMART, not checking every stamina settings on just to survive a day.

My typical usage - getting 3,5 hours o SOT tops on better days, usually with Wi-Fi, 4G, GPS and BT on all day long (as I am used to from previous devices), typically 1-2 hours of calls (mainly via BT), some vids, emails, browsing - the usual stuff.

Am I right having terrible battery life or I am just horrible user :D Check those screenshots below because as I count percentages, I couldn´t get to 100% of total. Dunno - disappointed so far, but maybe it´s just me being used to Huawei Mate series with 4000mAH battery champs.

--dunno why but cant add screenschots here--
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ssj100:
Not really talking about "known" carrier bloats, but perhaps some unknown hidden (conflicting) processes with certain carriers/countries? Perhaps those people who are getting <5 hours SOT over a day of light-moderate use can also start reporting what carrier and country they are using/from. There are always people reporting "Battery issues" with any phone in their real-life use - one difference with the S9+ Exynos is that Anandtech dug deep to find reasons for the issues in theory and made that public. However, there still remains quite significant discrepancy in people's reported real-life SOT, and I'm simply trying to work out why (and I'm sure most people who are concerned about their battery drain would be curious about this too). Remember your 4-5 hours is already more than double what some people are reporting, so it obviously can be even worse - again, I'm curious as to why these people are only getting 1-3 hours SOT?

Every forum user has the right to express their opinions as long as the forum rules are followed. Also, that's why moderators exist. In the last couple of days, this thread is getting about 4-5 posts a day, so I'm not sure where the concept of "flooding" comes in.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Sabertooth:
Hidden conflicting processes from a specific carrier to unlocked phones ? Mehhh dats nt hw carriers work all dey provide is 2G/3G/4G network signals with data connectivity to unlocked phones so whn signal is fine there no conflicting.:o

Hehe, you never know who's watching these days though!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Sabertooth:
Whatever, rest be assured dat it cannot be anything to do with batterylife on an unlocked phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ssj100:
I hope so, but anything's possible unless you've manufactured, developed all the software from scratch (ideally all offline hehe) and installed everything yourself!

Battery life of the year.

I am pretty sure that there is something wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Virgo_Guy:
BRE5 didn't bring anything regarding batterylife I would say(I maybe wrong here).I felt I saw zero difference but then felt its little lower than before as batterylife is actually lower than before. 2, 3 people claiming to have more battery looks speculative.

BRE5 indeed made the phone smoother and it shows.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Virgo_Guy:
That's so bad to look at. It'll definitely improve but then it shouldn't have been like this.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] monocay:
Guys. This week I will need to decide if I should go for s8+ or S9+ as my company phone. Both Exynos.

Camera is a priority to me, but, so is battery life, so I am torn.

Did the latest update bring some noticeable improvement in regards to battery life or not?

For you, is the regression of battery life between the two worth the other advantages S9+ brings to the table?

I am trying to disable the media volume limiter. If I turn it off it temporarily is disabled. When I reboot it's I get the warning again even though the UI element for the setting still indicates it's disabled. I also tried to simply increase the volume limit to maximum but again the same thing happens, when I restart the phone I get the limit volume again.

Is there any way to disable the media volume limiter?

you can try project treble rom and can flash Android P GSI.

i have tried but it is quite buggy(as expected) since it is based on Google pixel Android P DP3.

Android P official release is around the corner and we should expect it in near future.

meanwhile you can use DotOS to get Android P looks on top of Oreo. it is quite good rom and it is what i am using right now.

[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Joe199799:
Honestly it's a shame I was seriously looking at this phone, but what's more unfortunate is I'm starting to feel rooting is going the way of the dodo, more or less for big brands Samsung and LG for instance. HTC has always been pretty Dev friendly, it's just a shame I stuck with Android all this time because I had the freedom to root and do whatever I wanted and now it's just become a hollow shell of itself
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] SOCOM-HERO:
I'd say odds are piratically zero unless you get an unlocked variant, even then it can take months for LG to release the code for unlock. I am looking elsewhere manufacture wise. I have a G3 and it is on its last legs.
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Eliminater74:
For all of you that say HTC is so great, Let me tell you.. I was once a huge LG fan back in the G3 days and V10(Which went knowwhere) and then I said I would never touch another LG again, So I went HTC10,

was great at first, a bit pricey for the money, But to make a long story short. all HTC's battery suck.. your device will die within 1 year. but you will notice the issue way before, like 6 months to less..

when it happen to me, I thought maybe it was just me, then after me, other friends of mine, started having issues, and then friends of theirs had issues, and coming from a Developer on HTC10,

I can tell you, the scene sucks. the users can be rude, even know that is everywhere.. but cant explain unless your a dev, and even know you can s/off which will cost you 25.00, no biggie, lets you rebrand your device too... and unlock your bootloaders, but as for scene, Its not really there.. a few roms and a few things, but nothing big.. I created PureFusionOS originally on a HTC10, and I created Nebula Kernel Originally on a LG G3,

then Ported the first EAS Kernel to HTC10 on MM then N and not on Oreo......... So, dev friendly as it is, it has its draw backs.. I personally wont get another HTC do to the crappy batteries..

If none believe me, click on the Telegram group on my sig and ask in there.. you will see for your self.......

as for the oods of getting root, anything is possible.. look at the v30.. look at the g6 and v20 and so on, Most didnt think that would happen... its a challenge.. I wouldnt say you would get it soon,

but sooner or later.. if you truly want software and dont care about hardware, get OP6........................... But if you want a device that can outperform most others, Samsung,LG and Google.............

yeah sony too.. just not a fan of Sony.............
[LG G7 ThinQ  Questions & Answers] Josh McGrath:
Sony phones are locked down tighter than a nuns vagina so I won't go that way again.

I had an htc M9 and the battery was TERRIBLE. 3 hours I was at 60pct of little use, and this was brand new. So the battery issue has to be better than it was then. But most of us buy our phones and never plan to keep then longer than a year Max and most of us also use the payments so the OP6 and others like it are not affordable, especially for my broke ass.

LG makes great phones, they really do, but I want absolute control over something I legally own (for the time being ) and I think everyone else feels the same way. I haven't given up on LG just yet but for time being, I'm using the Motorola z2 force soley cause it can be rooted easily...well I thought easily anyway. Google's seemless update confuses me with two.

That being said, my hopes are still up, hanging by a string for the next LG model, but this time I won't buy it until root is achieved/released..if ever.
