Those with issues battery life. You'll need three tools to find out what the issue is. Accubattery , Better Battery stats and gsam. Those three apps should be able to assist you in locating the culprits.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LiquidSnake9:
I did installed GSAM and AccuBattery but failed to find out the cause. One thing for sure is that battery drain is really abnormal even after factory reset without installing any third party apps
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Try also installing Better Battery Stats XDA edition. And check it often especially after long doze times.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LiquidSnake9:
How to install that?

It seems that my battery life has considerably decreased after the last update.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zanr Zij:
Just changed to 128GB version with higher SOC binning and I got better battery life also lower temperature
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LiquidSnake9:
What does higher SoC binning mean?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alex989898:
Higher binning = lower voltage table = less heat and power consumption
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LiquidSnake9:
How's it possible to get a phone with higher SoC binning? I mean how did he know about it before buying?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zanr Zij:
I bought 5days used from my friend so I can check it easily through Download Mode
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LiquidSnake9:
How can I check mine?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alex989898:
You can't check it before buying. You have to go in download mode I think.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zanr Zij:
Enter Download Mode: Turn off phone, press and hold both Vol- and Bixby buttons, connect to a computer then press Vol+ :)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
As has been said a lot here lately, your phone getting hot is good and means it's working correctly. Heat has to go somewhere - it's meant to not go by the SoC. It sends it to the frame, essentially, to disperse. So you should absolutely feel the heat.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] @rbiter:
8h over 1.5 days. Still not finished optimizing. Mostly wifi. Will be testing LTE soon as I usually get better SOT over LTE since coverage is good at home and lately work. Is Qualcomm still developing power envelope for LTE? I know note4 got 1.0. Forgot when 2.0 came out. It should be up to 3 or 4 now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zanr Zij:
What did you do in that 8h ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] themaximillian:
Guys, I need some input.

My Android System is very high it seems, usually on the second place in the stats.

I'm thinking it is because something is triggering my location (set to high accuracy).

I've checked the app section and unticked basically all the permissions for location but I still get the location symbol often as the phone is using location.

I'm on a Exynos version of the phone.

Anybody got a clue as to what's going on?

A little bit of everything minus games. Definitely some YouTube. Test my AKGN60. Use WeChat. SMS. Phone calls. Listen to music over speakers from micro SD card. Chrome Beta and Naked Browser. Black out some of my UI and research how to use substratum and Andromeda. Testing DNS66 for ad blocking. A repeat of the charge before minus the ad blocking. I did about 8h then too with 3 reboots and had ~25% left.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zanr Zij:
My friend' result. It should be much better

I don't know how some of you guys are getting such great battery life. I find battery life to be average at best. For example. When I went for a run with the p20 pro let's say 40 minutes. I have the gear s3 and jabra earbuds connected. I would lose about 2% with the p20 pro compared to 12% with the note 9. Haven't really made it through a whole day yet. I find myself topping up quite often. Thank god for wireless charging...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] karan2012:
I find the battery to be very Ok ok not as good as I expected.

Trying one cycle with sync and location off and will see if it makes any significant difference..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] @rbiter:
Really should try themes like material dark from Galaxy app store. Doing stuff like this will probably add about 1-2h of SOT. I still need to set up ADB on my laptop so I can change my nav bar to black.

To give you an idea of how much battery life blacking out as much as you can on OLED I believe it was the note3 where I blacked out almost everything. Even most of my Google apps were blacked out with team blackout or whatever they were called. I was getting 10-12h SOT/2 days per charge about 5-6 years ago for about 2 months before I updated the OS and team blackout dropped support.

I also use naked browser and it's night theme for reading articles on the web when chrome isn't needed. My last charge is 1.5 days mostly wifi usage as I am still testing the note9. I haven't had a note since note4. I am hoping I can get enough SOT I can use my phone over 2 days to prolong battery longevity since the battery is sealed. Most of you have not done any optimizations and are getting good battery life for what you have but put no effort in your phone and wonder how come you're not getting battery life like people that have put effort into optimizing their phone. It is mandatory I try to get 2 days use from this phone as it cost me $1400 because Samsung did not cancel my order and shipped anyways. Even if Samsung did cancel I would've paid $1250 through B&H which is still exorbitant and I need to get 2 years from this phone to justify it. Surprisingly my last 2 phones, the note4 and V20, I used 2 years because they held up well and had swappable battery. I am on my 3rd battery for V20 and 4th for note4, both of which I have 3 batteries left.

My V20 will be repurposed as a DAP and my note4 I guess is still my backup phone. There is little use for it though since the input latency for the note9 s pen blows the note4 out of the water.

Anyways, the peeps getting 5-6h SOT that haven't done any theming are getting expected battery life values. I also use auto brightness and am training my note9's auto brightness as it has been working very well though a little aggressive. Even with my 8h SOT my last 2 charges I would venture I used my note9 in direct or indirect sunlight blasting auto mode for about 1.5h. But notice my screenshot in that I was able to get 8h SOT over 1.5 days and still had enough battery left I could just pocket my phone for another day or two for calls and texts only. ?

Lots like me on AT&T Note 9 512GB Snapdragon models are getting over 10hrs SOT , so far that's what i get 9hrs to 10hrs of SOT, if you go few post back you can see one of my SOT which was over 10hrs, yesterday i endup getting 9hrs and 57min SOT , definitely big improvements on battery life for Snapdragon AT&T.

Are you doing anything to optimize the battery performance? I haven't turned anything off or done anything to get better battery, and I only got 5 hours screen on yesterday. So far today, I only have 29 minutes screen on time and my battery is at 90%. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I have the US unlocked version from Best Buy.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bat0nas:
I'm on the same boat.

I had megaSOTs on my first few cycles.

The more I use my phone - the more it's clear to me that I will get 3-4hours of SOT max.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] lawtq:
That's nice!

Snapdragon again killing it. That's really good

You're joking right? Is that almost 3 hours of youtube? If so that's very good

Wow. Really wish I had snapdragon version. Better battery, faster smoother games. Win, win. So far my exynos battery life is average. Ain't impressed with it

Be carefull with black theme + white text on Amoled display. It harm your eyes soon.

Of course FB eat batt too much but for normal user they need convernience, experience and don't care too much about battery cost especially with 4k batt smartphone :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] eastsidebiz:
The heat that is emitting from the note 9 is equivalent to the Note 8 in my honest opinion. I know mobile devices tends to get hot.. but for Samsung to market Liquid cooling is a little too far for what is currently available to mobile markets

---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------

That's if you give yourself only an inch from the phone! Lol

If you hold the phone properly, I'm sure that black on white fonts is fine.

But hey I'm not an optometrist.

---------- Post added at 07:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 PM ----------

Maybe I need to do more cycles but. The battery on the note 9 at least for me is nothing new. I expected it to last longer but ehh..

Snap dragon US version. 128 GB, and my phone died at 12 hours.

Today I unplugged at 5:30 am and now I'm at 76% with estimated 8 hours to go..

I do have battery saver on, at limited CPU and FHD..

I do have tons of email accounts synced, and use 2 phone numbers, no sip. Maybe it's my app sync.

However I had the same set up on my s9, that gave me at least 9 hours of play time..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] @rbiter:

Not every time, sometimes at 5 percent and some times and 50 percent, can you install acubattery and see what you get?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alex989898:
I have already done it. I get 3967mAh after a few cycles.

But I'm not sure Accubattery estimation is good.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] a2fast:
I don't like my battery state no root, last update and nova launcher. I used Greenify, Package Disable the bloatware and Gsam battery. It is look like the Kernel used a lot of my battery every time and there is heat when I'm outdoor or using mobile data. Most of the time used WIFI.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alex989898:
Honestly, I don't think accubattery estimation for battery capacity is trust worthy.

You need about 7 ( long ) sessions to measure more exactly
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LiquidSnake9:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LiquidSnake9:
Like from 0 to 100 or is it ok if I charge from 20 to 100?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zanr Zij:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Just to 100 from any value. And wait til it goes green the led.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Screen brightness alone doesn't determine your battery life. Black wallpaper helps..apps running in back ground..setup..if you use AOD..although some say aod doesn't use that much battery. Giving device time to calibrate after a clean install.There are different things to factor in.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zanr Zij:
I don't use black theme because it harmed my eyes when I used Note 2 and Note 3. I can use abit dark theme but I want more balanced which don't harm my eyes first priority :). If light background through most of apps, brightness will change your sot much more than normal :)

Anyone had issues with standby drain?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zanr Zij:
Many ones face this problem on latest update :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
This happens(keeping battery consuming background activities/signal strength etc. factors aside) when users charge/top up the phone anytime and do not have the "unhealthy habit" of charging from 0 to 100% and draining from 100% to 0. Taking longer time is not at all an issue but if anyone wants to "correct it", all it requires is a manual calibration. Like mine, where it takes about 4 minutes to go from 100% Red notification to 100% Green notification.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zanr Zij:
Just did Antutu Stress test on both N960F/DS Exynos and Snapdragon N9600:

- Snap battery temp lower about 3-4°C during the test

- Snap battery drain slower than Exynos

- Snap big cluster clocks stable and much higher than Exynos ( often drop and lower )

Has anyone used the Package disabler Pro for Samsung to remove the Bloatware and has that made any difference in the battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
Something well known since April. :good:

Do you have the option to set them up same way with apps and settings and then post batterylife after using in a similar fashion? Additional info @ heat manangement & performance out of them will erase doubts from many users I believe.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zanr Zij:
Seem you don't know much about stress test :). Under stress test, apps installed mean nothing. Setting of course default on both about peformance :)

4000mAh on other device story is different to 3500mAh on S9+ :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
It's your assumption if you felt I spoke of stress test based on apps being installed . Wonder how you even assumed it at all. And where from the 3500 mAh comparison to a 4000 mAh came ? :o

..

See, Exynos 9810 from the very beginning has been criticised for atrociously tuned scheduler and DVFS resulting in not so good overall performance, overheating and poorer batterylife in conparison to the SD variant and then the kernel sources didn't see a change in the Note 9 when it was passed onto, from the s9/s9+. Since you got hold of both the SD & Exynos variants of the N9, you can post batterylife here when configured both same way. Hope this is clearer now. :good:

Still don't understand why some of you guys are getting 5h+ SOT. I'm lucky if I get 4 hours. Battery life on my phone has been no better than my Note 8 AR my s9+ since day one. I even did a factory reset after the last update... I just got an iPhone XS Max and didn't realize how ****ty my battery was until now.

Is my phone defective?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dilpreetpuri:
Bro how much real life difference you observed after disabling all that stuff .

As in like how many minutes or hours additional SOT are you getting after that
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] sruel3216:
I'm not sure. I took all that off right when I got it. I hit about 5-6 SOT a charger. Full LTE no wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] OberstGrausam:
Battery life on my exynos Note 9 has been great so far, noticeably better then the S9+ I had previously. Still there is room for improvement imho. I really look forward to those graphene batteries which might be integrated in future samsung devices (eventhough from an economic standpoint it doesn't make a whole lot of sense for a manufacturer to prolong the battery life and lifespan).

Here are my results:

Usage: Mostly Surfing, reading, annotating, youtube, podcasts, calls and messages and light gaming

Settings: No auto sync, no email push, no gps, no bluetooth, LTE and wifi constantly on, debloated a whole lot of apps (about 60) via adb and adhell3, black themed, no battery saver

I only activate stuff that I need when it's necessary, otherwise it's disabled.
