I have 0.7-0.8%/h without disabling anything, with dual sims on the same carrier and with background wifi and bt scanning ON, all of this with STOCK ROM. I say it's pretty good.

edit: disabled only google assistant and facebook
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] avatar_ro:
I have the European version, 960F
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] steveone77:
I have a problem a very big battery drain. I have only 64% deep sleep and only 24 minutes screen on. My Note 9 is ITV (Italy).

Why? please help me...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] avatar_ro:
first of all, if you have apps that monitor the battery just uninstall them, they just drain even more battery.

Check the apps over the battery menu, you must have rogue apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] steveone77:
I think is a carrier problem. Is it possible this deep sleep without use phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] avatar_ro:
it;s very possible that this CPU SPY app is keeping your phone alive and not allowing it to sleep. Try to uninstall it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] steveone77:
Ok but only me with this problem? strange...

And after without app is it impossibile check the deep sleep...

This deep sleep % is normal or not?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] TakamineSubasa:
Im so happy with Oreo 8.1, my note manages an impressive 0.4%/h AOD off battery saver on Mid, although since I installed an antivirus it went to 0.6-0.7%/h... Anyway it doesnt reallly bothers me
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] sklchan:
Exynos Note 9, able to get around 12mA/h drain on normal standby mode with AOD off.

7 hours overnight remain 98%, checked the battery monitor app total 83mAh used.

AOD do drain power around 1% per hour rate, so If you have it always on mean in 7 hours overnight you will lost ~7% battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] steveone77:
ok in dual sim mode connected in wifi what is normal % every hour without use?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] sklchan:
Sorry I don't have dual active sim to verify this, below my setup during the test:

1. Single active sim

2. Wifi connected

3. Sycn active

4. NFC & BT disable

5. AOD not display after cover close (samsung original clear case cover)

6. Gmail/Yahoo/Hotmail active

7. Whatsapp/FB/Messenger active

8. All others apps all set to battery optimized

9. 200GB microsd in the device

The only discrepancies compare with day time standby would be:

1. More incoming email and messages compare with night time

2. Random SOT for normal phone usage
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] steveone77:
Only 2% for 7 hours??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] sklchan:
Yes - 7 hours overnight remain 98%, checked the battery monitor app total 83mAh used = 11.86mAh/h pretty impressive result without any purposely disable functionality. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] steveone77:
This do you think is normal?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] steveone77:
This today...normal?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] dancrow:
Nice, what is your debloat list?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] sklchan:
With all these so call samsung apps uninstall can we still call our phone as Note9?? what's the point of these extreme debloating if it totally de-brand the specialty of the Note9? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] avatar_ro:
appropriate comment! they "debloat" tons and then you are left we no samsung experience. why not buy then a pixel phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] avatar_ro:
Good for you. but from what I see in the screenshots you barely use the phone and that's fine also.

Yeah I think I can get even better battery life if just simply pull out the sim card, sd card, hard reset, disable the alarm then switch off the phone, the phone might just deplete 2% per month... :rolleyes:

Why not just get the old Nokia phone that only use 5mAh and can survive 24/7 in standby through its 700mAh battery? :D

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] doggydog2:
sold this heavy brick because of bad standby drain, both 6T and Mi9 are better. I'd consider buying Note10 if it was 175g max, lasted 2 days.. the pen is useless, i found this earlier in Note2-4, can't justify such monster weight. Need some innovation here. Note3/5/7 was 170g, but suddenly they switch to heavy-weight 200g category since Note8. Nah. Never.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] nevenx:
My note is one week old with latest updates and all, I noticed that standby drain is hella fast, meanwhile, if I use screen more often, I can achieve 6-7 SoT. Can anyone explain that, haha
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] avatar_ro:
the standby drain is ok.

for dual sim on the same network i get between 0.5/h and 0.9/h. overnight drain on WIFI standby.

the software is stock, nothing modified. disabled facebook and insta
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] steveone77:
In dual sim 2% every hour is it normal?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] anaschillin:
How have you managed to get 3days use out of it? I am on stock I get around 20/21hours at a push
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] mohammad.nomaan:
What all apps did u removed or disabled???

Will be helpful for all
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] avatar_ro:
if you have AOD enabled then yes.

if you have 2% per hour with mobile data ON then yes, if you have that drain on WIFI then I would say it'a bit high.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] :
hi

thank you first

the thing is that how can i unable SMS now it's missing from me screen.

thanks

Please one more thing

I use Samsung email, can you tell me which line is so I can install it back..

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] mdmisajol:
I'm getting more SOT in WQHD+ (5 Hour+) than FHD+ (4.5 Hour+) :\
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] ihuman007:
I charge every two days. I don't have much drain. Yesterday I purposely put 4g on when I slept, it only lose about 5% (about 8 h). It's exynos version. So it seems ok.

I normally get about 7-8 hours sot with standby time about 30 hours
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] mtweisenbarger777:
I have the US unlocked snapdragon version. I noticed my standby drain was straight up bad. I installed gsam and bbs to check it out (with adb extra enabled stats of course). After a few days I figured out that my standby drain at night was 2% (this is with AOD on touch only). So I started removing apps, changing permissions, turning things off, blah blah blah. Here is the long and short of it; I get HORRIBLE signal at my house. So at home, I turn my data off. That helped quite a bit. I use Tasker/Routines to turn my data back on when I'm not at home. But my drain was still happening on a smaller scale (BBS was reporting more Active(Screen off) than I thought should be happening). So I turned off wifi one night before bed. BOOM! That did it, both data and wifi off brought my drain down to .33% an hour. I do not have wifi or bluetooth scanning on for location (which I leave location on at all times because I geofence my smarthome) so I must have some other app(s) that is causing the issue. I don't really care now that I've figured out how to get the drain down. I hope this helps someone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] jejb:
My overnight drain has been very good. Nothing fancy. Background processes allowed to run under Android System. All "bloatware" apps still installed and available. High performance mode on, BT, Data, AOD and Wifi all on. I'm very happy with the battery usage in this phone.

[IMG="Overnight usage"]http://jebruns.com/Pictures3/Note9OvernightBattUsage.jpg[/IMG]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] Ammar212:
That is great, but also do the followings :

1- switch off "always on" display

2- restrick background data (from battery saving option)

3- on developer option check ( do not keep activity) to close apps automatically when you leave it.

it should be fine !
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] nevenx:
When I got my phone, out of the box it was oreo and battery was on 25%, and that hold for 4h sot, right after updating to pie, im getting 4-5 sot from 100 till 0... Shame
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] zybtron:
Picked a Note 9 512GB, Exynos. Dual Sim

Manufactured - Nov 2018

Been using it for the past one week. Installed custom rom. Using dual sim

I am losing around 1.2% per hour - Overnight drain

Checked phone info - battery health is at 93%

Is it normal?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] jr866gooner:
Factory rest my phone yesterday and did an app restore clearing off some apps in the process and I noticed a 9% drain overnight, took it off charge at 1am on 69% and awoke at 8am to find it on 60%

Nothing overly intensive installed on the phone (certainly nothing that should run overnight with the screen off!)

Its not too much of an issue but there are nights where I choose not to charge and wait till the next day but I would be hesitant to leave it at say 30% knowing it will lose so much overnight.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] N1NJATH3ORY:
Mines about the same the crazy thing if i put on Airplane mode and leave it over night i ended up losing around 30% i will be getting this phone replaced when this covid 19 is over!

About 3 months ago I was happy to keep this phone but I'm starting to grow tired of little things on this device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] avatar_ro:
I think it's safe to say that Snapdragon Notes are draining less overnight/standby compared to the exynos ones.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] chibixzero:
I might be tripping but my Note9 Doesn't last as long as my OP6. I run the same apps and similar settings and my note last me about 5-6 hours my OP6 Last 6-7 hours. All this with heavy usage and the OP has a lower battery capacity.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] FYL21:
I feel like heavy use and light use consumption is around the same and get 5-6 hours SOT regardless. Browsing and using the Samsung Music app seems to drain around 1% every 5 minutes. I was expecting the battery to drain a lot faster with games but it's more subtle than I thought. Yesterday I didn't game much but used S-pen to take notes, and got 6 hours 21 minutes SOT with 6% left, within 10 hours of total usage (resolution was QHD+ most of the day). Today with some heavy gaming (Real Racing forced to QHD resolution with Game Tuner, as well as Bowling by Jason Belmonte, Alto's Odyssey) I got around 5:48 SOT in 11 hours 25 minutes (started to reduce the resolution to FHD+ around 30%).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] rudbwoy:
I'm going to kill the battery in my Note 9, eventually. It's my daily workhorse. Multiple Gmail accounts, work email, continuous use throughout the day, 3 games that I check upon every hour and a half... Should last about a year by my estimate. Oh well. Phones come and go...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] illetyus:
Heavy use endurance is okay in this phone but light usage endurance is not good. You lose %15 in a hour just by 9gag browsing.

Can I have that Fortnite promotion if you don’t play Fortnite ? I’m dying for it and that phone is to expensive for me :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] high_voltage:
Sadly, samsung put a lot of effort for this not to happen. Right now it's not really possible outside of a friend that don't play fortnite and lend you his phone to login with your account and play atleast 3 full matches.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] FYL21:
I find camera and SoundHound to drain a lot. I can barely break 4.5-5h SOT if I use the camera for over 50 minutes. The other day I was trying to see if SoundHound could identify songs from my bad singing while wireless charging and the percentage actually went down.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] ssgunner20:
IMHO, the fortnite skin you get is garbage. Should have given in game money instead. Or at least pub g. I play both on my N9 with the latter getting more SOT:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] moistcity:
Recently got my Note 9 a week ago and battery has been about average as compared to my last phone. I can last 5-6 hrs of heavy use and 7 for light use. Mind you my last phone was the Galaxy A7 (2017) and battery on that thing is nuts. 7 on a heavy and 8-9 in light use. Might probably due to I game more on my note rather than my last phone.

Off topic question, was playing ragnarok mobile on my note while fast charging when I suddenly fell asleep. Woke up 4 hours later game was still on and the battery is now at 83%. Will this massively damage the battery of my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] raul6:
It will not
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] high_voltage:
Fast charging works up till 80% then it will switch to normal charging (and the 80-100% are always different charging method that is slower + better for the battery longevity). You are fine, nothing will change about your battery health. I would be more concerned about burn-ins/burn-outs, but you played most likely at lower brightness and surely not in overdrive mode = you will be just fine too. :)

Edit: also I forgot to mention that samsungs don't fast charge when the screen is on, only when the screen is off = it charged slowly normally and that's why it reached only to 83% (as because of the battery use, the actual + in the charge was lower than the 2A in normal charge/~500-1A in the last 20%). All good, as I said, don't worry.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] Champ 87:
Note 9 has a big and brighter screen and a lot of bells and whistles
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] chibixzero:
I guess that makes sense. The bigger brighter screen could be the culprit.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] GuestD0377:
I can go a day (8am to 12pm) of moderate-heavy use with some battery left over. I'm taking 5-6 hours of SOT (WhatsApp, Internet, RadioPlayer Canada, Google Maps, Twitter, Fallout Shelter). This is despite the phone not being entirely optimized for battery life besides using the Device Maintenance feature (I have wifi and data on, bluetooth, location, high resolution, automatic brightness).

The battery actually kind of sucked when I first got it lol. But it randomly improved a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] DeanSF:
My SoT with heavy usage is just amazing 6-7 hours without a problem!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] evan5935:
Has anyone used the dual sim always active feature? Im assuming it drains battery far faster, especially with extended use
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] bofh999:
ok here is the deal. games will drain the battery less than previous phones do to more efficent cpu.

however anything else didnt change at all or got even worse.

any wireless connection, sensors, screen (even worse), will be the same as in any other phone. so this is where the battery kicks in and gives us a bit more leway. yet it ahs to compensate for the insane screen. so our SOTs are pretty good.

biggest issue is google and google services as usual. with their insane collection of data we litereally pay for them collecting our data. and thats not just a little bit, its over 1000 datapoints an hour.

that was the main reason i wanted to switch to apple, but after a day in hell i gave up on the fruit ****show. way to many compromises.

however at the end of the day what really kilsl the battery is energy for the screen itself and all kind of data connections.

the cpu cycles are laughable for most games, those cpus are powerhouses, almost PC level

so turn of wlan, turn of gps whereever you dont need it, same for bluetooth, cut down on syncing services as much you can this helps a lot.

also gmail is aweful in their push services. i tossed it out, i run exchange active sync and its fine
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] N1NJATH3ORY:
How's your screen after the 22 hour marathon? Any screen burn in? Ghosting? What brightness do you keep it at?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] ToRRIIDeR:
Heavy Endurance usage

FHD+ Resolution

Auto-Brightness

AOD on

Email Sync, WhatsApp Web Background

10 Hours of 4G usage

Social Media (Reddit, Instagram, snapchat)

Spotify with Bluetooth Streaming
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] supermarioarv:
How do you manage to have this... for me in order to have this time of sot I must use it in 12to14 hours.

My android system is on 17%

The line of the battery is always going down. In your picture I can see that when you are not using it the battery line is parallel which means that you almost have 0% of consumption....

Let's just say, it's a good job it's wipe clean ??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] Mr. Orange 645:
I love the look of the Note 9. The Note 8 was my favorite device as far as looks go, and the Note 9 just refined that and improved it.

I love the new Cloud Silver color, but I honestly prefer my Ocean Blue with the contrasting S Pen. It just makes a statement.

I really don't have anything negative to say about it. It's a much better looking (and performing) device than my Pixel 2 XL. Matter of fact, I'm selling the P2XL and I'll just keep my Note 8 as a back up device. Can't part with it!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] teegunn:
I'd have preferred much smaller top and bottom chin and forehead bezels. Still not a big fan of the curved sides, but for now that is still samsungs calling. And while I prefer the Note line to the S line, I do think prefer the more rounded corners of the S line. Overall I was hoping for less top and bottom bezels at least with the Note 9.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] ErebusRaze:
I doesn't have the most attractive aesthetic of any device. But it's okay. the front and side chassis are gorgeous. But the camera module is quite frankly hideous. Possible the worst out of all manufacturers.

I love the more "boxy" look of that phone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] meesagandu:
This Device is like a TANK. A solidly built design with good battery life and not to forget the 3.5 HEADPHONE JACK.

Edit: Just got the news that Samsung's new A8s is the first phone with an Infinity-O hole-punch display. I think at last Samsung has found a way to get rid off notch but they also removed the headphone jack that is sad. There is three layer of glass on top and it is 2.5 LTPS display with camera HOLE.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Real Life Review] TawkinTrash:
Note 9 has the best looking cases.

Everything on the back side is symmetrically aligned in the center so all the camera cutouts for the cases look perfect.

Other phones are justified to one side or the other and the designs and grooves on the backs of cases are cut off.

Note 9 is perfectly aligned so the grooves and cutouts look better.
