Alright I'll try some of the battery stats app and tell you what's up. I really hope I can do something to get around 7% per hour lol

---------- Post added at 04:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------

Working on it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LiquidSnake9:
Here are a few screenshots in various scenarios:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] themaximillian:
I'd be a bit cautious using Accu Battery, when I uninstalled that app my drain overnight went from 0.8 to 0.2 percent/hour...

Just saying...

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LiquidSnake9:
I have heard it's a battery sucker but at least as of now all I want is stats so I can make the battery last longer
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zanr Zij:
Samsung increase batt cap to 4kmAh to fix Soc/Modem problem temporary. Next year maybe better!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alex989898:
OMG, these stats are insane !!!!

My phone is around 100-150mA while doing nothing. Even now, as I'm typing, it doesn't go as high as your phone !!!

Something is definitly killing your battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LiquidSnake9:
:(

Should I do a factory reset?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alex989898:
Maybe. But if it's in fact an app that kills your battery life, a reset won't work if you end up installing the same apps.

First, I would try to search if an app wasn't killing my battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LiquidSnake9:
Perhaps I should factory reset and then not install any apps and see the battery life. That way we can be 100% sure it was an app
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alex989898:
You can :)

But maybe I have another idea.

Try to disable network connection, Wifi and everything else. Just to see if your battery drain became normal (we can compare with my device using MP if you want) and start reactivating everything bit by bit. This way, maybe we can see where is your problem
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Run Accubattery pro and also gsam for at least 24 hours of usage and post some other screen shots of the apps. With GSAM you'll need to run a simple ADB command line to unlock all it's features.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] yourmumsbootloader:
Did you use smart switch or some other type of file restore program? Or did you download apps one by one?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LiquidSnake9:
Nah just downloaded normally from play store
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LiquidSnake9:
Here's one with flight mode and wifi turned off and another wifi on with normal firefox browsing. Also its weird that CPU-Z does not show the battery capacity.

I disabled all the background processing through developer options and have put almost every app to sleep. Despite that Google in Secure folder was used in the background for 1h 2m and Weather for 38m. How is this possible I never used these apps and they were running in background lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KingVekxin:
This is what I got today seems I don't have all apps sleep yet so ??*♂️
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alex989898:
I take some screenshots too. The one of a game is in PUBG (this game consume so much haha).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LiquidSnake9:
Lol my web browsing consumes more than your PUBG which sounds ridiculous. I guess there's definitely a big problem on my device and I'm gonna have to do a factory reset
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alex989898:
In fact, it's worse than this because when I landed on the ground, my power consumption dropped to around 650mAh. But since there was nothing around me, I figured out this wasn't representative of anything and keep the screenshot during the plane phase at the beginning.

Also, the usage in the Samsung Browser will certainly be higher than that if I start scrolling or loading page.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LiquidSnake9:
I see. I'll come back when I have done the factory reset
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jadaress1:
Here's mine, think it's great. It's the exynos 6gb version.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LiquidSnake9:
Here's the result after factory reset. Wifi on, rest everything off. Disabled some Samsung and Google bloat, brightness about 30%. Only installed XDA and AccuBattery nothing else. The phone also feels warm.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alex989898:
That's... still not good >_<

Did you try before disabling anything ?

Edit : Your phone is often warm ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LiquidSnake9:
Yes before disabling was the same result. Phone gets warm more than often, is it bad?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alex989898:
It's not that it's bad, it's just strange because mine doesn't get warm except if I play a long time.

It make me go back to my original hypothesis : the Exynos 9810 SoCs are not all created equal. Samsung is still using binning for their SoCs and different voltage tables depending on binning.

Like on the s805 a few years back, there is a significant difference between the Exynos with high binning number and those with low binning number.

I'm pretty sure that the first paragraph is true because I have found references to AVS in S9's kernel source. But sadly I haven't manage to found the voltage table (I think that the voltage table is build when you compile the kernel but I'm not skilled enough to be sure).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LiquidSnake9:
So there's no hope for me?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alex989898:
If I'm right, sadly, yes. (And I'm not sure to be right at all, it's only a guess based to what I have seen in the past).

You will certainly manage to get better results if some dev manage to let us undervolt the Exynos 9810 (maybe it's already possible, I still haven't look to what has been achieved on the S9/Note 9).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LiquidSnake9:
Really sucks man, I can't be waiting for a dev to undervolt this thing. It just sucks that a $1K device cannot even last all day for me and even more when others with same usage as me get way better battery life
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] yourmumsbootloader:
I uninstalled accubattery to see if my battery life improved. Holy moly.

This is with 2 email accounts with sync on, 2 weather apps, one calendar, several messaging apps including SMS, taking some camera test shots today, used chrome 2h today instead of naked browser with night mode. I use auto brightness and had to manually knock it down a few imes today because too bright for very dark cloudy day. Played some non intensive games today too. I guess after this charge I should test Dex some more tomorrow. My keyboard comes in.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] yourmumsbootloader:
I did it.

I have more battery stats. Finally pushed the command. 4 characters whipped my butt.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] michelino159:
It is good to have a certain test under normal conditions of use as you did not receive any prizes. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] PsiPhiDan:
My unscientific addition to this thread: I had a Note8 for a year or so. I use my phone in roughly the same ways every day. With my Note8, I'd have to charge in the car on the way home from work OR by 7pm or it would die. I have not yet charged my Note9 in the week or so I've had it, other than at night (and I usually have 20% left). I'm extremely impressed.

If the battery life was any better, it would hardly even matter to me, because it would have to be double as good to affect me (so I could charge only every other night).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LiquidSnake9:
Do you have exynos or snapdragon and what was the resolution?Also did you turn on any type of battery saver?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] yourmumsbootloader:
Full res. The only battery saver I am running is the CPU limiter. I am going to turn it back off after this weekend and see if I go back down. LTE first 50% and wfi the rest. Here was the rest of the charge...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] yourmumsbootloader:
Oops. Forgot screenshots.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zanr Zij:
Could you try again without any saver? Your fully batt cap = 87% + 15% = ???
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] yourmumsbootloader:
I will try starting Monday morning during work week. My battery charge will last me today and tomorrow. I've only run it down to the teens. I have not run down until it turns off or 1%. Need to make this battery last 2 years.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] yourmumsbootloader:
Oh. I see what you mean. I had to plug in my note9 to push the ADB commands to get the app usage breakdown. It would have only taken a couple minutes but .pro was missing from my command so it took about 10 minutes. It was a USB3 port so it charged it about 2%. My bad. Was not trying to fluff my numbers. Was just trying to show what it is capable of. I also didn't know know Google had made an ADB and fastboot quick download folder. I was procrastinating on dl'ing the whole SDK. I didn't take screenshots of radio power but here is example of this charge. The numbers for the previous rundown had 0 by 0 and 1 and 5 by 3. The 3 and 4 had the biggest numbers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] yourmumsbootloader:
Here is what my reception usually looks like. -60dBm to -80dBm which is pretty good. My LGV20 was often -75dBm to -100dBm.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LiquidSnake9:
Sorry for the dumb question but what does the percentage at Low/High/Medium indicate?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alex989898:
Pourcentage of time at 0,1,2,3 or 4 signal bars.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LiquidSnake9:
I see, thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zanr Zij:
Just got my 512GB Exynos. And now I'm pretty sure N9 battery life not good as it should be with 4000mAh. Only under cool/cold condition, indoor, most wifi, batt saver mode user can get better battery life. Samsung fit 4k battery to fix Exynos 9810 problem temporary.

---------- Post added at 08:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 PM ----------

Try again and please show your full temps, freqs ... all GSam graphs :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LiquidSnake9:
Same here mine is very bad. Only giving 5-6 hrs SOT when only using the phone for browsing and listening to music. I'm taking mine to a Samsung Store
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zanr Zij:
Normally I can optimize my any phone to increase battery life notieable. I will try my best on Note9 and maybe sell/return it soon if can't do 7h sot from 95% to 15%. I also don't like to use a black theme!

---------- Post added at 01:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 AM ----------

If you want last your battery about 2 years: keep batter level between 30-90, try to extend your batt cycle/life to about 2 days
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
Yeah, looks good to see "4000" on paper, not equally good at delivering though.

Exactly, it's like Samsung silently saying "we did what we could, that's it". And then we will have the next big thing - Exynos 9820 with effecient M4 cores to play with and issues it brings to deal with...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] MamaSaidWhat?:
So I'm finally getting some decent battery life out of my Note 9 (Exynos/128GB/stock/no root.) First few days I was struggling to get 5 hours SOT which with my usage is pathetic for a 4Ah battery.

At 5% battery now with roughly 9.5 hours SOT over 15 hours. Brightness on auto, Pixel themed (everything themed white expect the navbar), location on, Bluetooth on and in use (car stereo) for roughly an hour, 4 email accounts on sync, WiFi on for approximately 13 hours and data (4G) on for approximately 2 hours.

2.5 hours of HD YouTube video, an hour of Spotify, 2 hours of gaming and the rest of my time moving between Reddit/Telegram/Chrome/other apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bat0nas:
So what's twh secret of getting 9hrs of SOT?

Because I'm getting 2 times less with the same usage deacription as you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] flipsonic:
Nice!

FHD or WQHD?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] flak0:
I just uninstalled mine. I kept getting android notifications that it was draining my battery . I have GSAM pro will it also be a battery sucker?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] themaximillian:
For me, GSAM is much more battery friendly.

How much SoT you are getting? I have the same model so just curious

---------- Post added at 06:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 AM ----------

Do you have the Exynos model?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] traneupcqk:
What is your Pixel theme exactly? I've searched on Theme Store but i got too many results
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] MamaSaidWhat?:
I've disabled around 50 system apps (anything Bixby related, a few Google apps and a few Samsung apps/widgets) using Package Disabler Pro. But I did that day one of getting the phone and still had bad battery life for the first 72 hours or so, so I'm not sure if that's the key or not.

WQHD. No AOD.

Yeah, UK Exynos model (6GB/128GB.)

It's not on the Theme Store unfortunately. It's a Substratum theme (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ohayoubaka.statusbarsamsung) which works amazingly well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LiquidSnake9:
What's the exact model number?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bat0nas:
I just created a list of "Safe to disable services on..." our Note 9.

Bit: http://bit.ly/2P0m8sr

Long Google URL: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16gy-DQoOm1KMMoB3Q5HL0GMNpWZTUKMyOR_lPF8IgLc/edit?usp=sharing

And I opened it for editing.

Could you all please put any service/app name you successfully disabled without (or with) any consequenses. So others could filter and add use that material to speed up their devices or prolong battery life.

Thanks!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] MamaSaidWhat?:
N960F. I feel I should also state that I use a VPN (AdGuard) which is constantly connected, no idea if this would have any effect on battery life. I also don't use any power saving modes and I never close apps (from recents or using App power monitor.)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LiquidSnake9:
I've also disabled alot of Samsung and Google bloat, have the same model as yours and only use the phone for browsing and YouTube but still get around 5-6 hrs SoT
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nastrahl:
What's the "background positioning control" at the end of the list of features "turned off" when you activate the medium power saving?

Is there a way to still having it on?

I'm planning to have the medium power saving always activated because I don't mind the CPU limit for daily use, nor the (automatic) 10% less brightness (I would have liked it to be adjustable but well...), while I can still adjust the rest if needed to.

---------- Post added at 10:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 AM ----------

I'm planning to enable the data saver too, but I don't know how it is exactly working.

Like, are the said background apps the ones that are in the task manager or not, in which case notifications are "not received" instead of "delayed", etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] traneupcqk:
What app should i use to disable services? I've searched for Package Disabler on Google Play but no result was found

What's your Display set at , If it's not set default your Display then some apps in Playstore will do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zanr Zij:
After disable many bloats, I got abit better standby battery on latest build. And I'm sure that with 4G full time, outdoor, light/white theme, very hard to get more than 6h 30m sot. Buggy Exynos 9810 + Shanon modem need better optimization and cooling system!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] a2fast:
I don't like the state of my battery. No root, latest update, Formatting after the update and 4G+ most the time and 10% on WiFi.

I want to know the issue of my usage.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alher591:
For those of you who are getting 6 hours of SOT are you using fast charging, normal charging, fast wireless charging or normal wireless charging ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jonathan-H:
You really need to look into how you're using your phone. If the 6h 30m SOT is over one day, then there is something not optimised or you're using features that hit the battery.

I get 8-10 hours every single day with normal use, more if I am at home.

Make sure AOD is off, smart stay and all the smart gestures are off, like vibrate when you have notifications and pick up the phone, or put the phone to your ear to call someone. Make sure bluetooth and wifi scanning are off. Make sure nearby device scanning is off.

I use Instagram, Twitter, Gmail, Email, Chrome, Netflix, 4G and Wifi.

No issues whatsoever with battery. Can keep it two days without charging with around 5hrs SOT.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] flipsonic:
I'm averaging around 17-18 hours battery, with 6 hours of SOT (7 at a push). Have only used fast cable charging since day 1.

I've turned off AOD, to squeeze a bit more out of battery. I don't miss it.

Screen brightness is around 40-50% Trying out FHD for a few days also.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zanr Zij:
Don't talk! Show me system and Gsam batt full stats included brightness + apps usage :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Im a little late to the party...but battery is insane.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Yup sounds right can't go wrong with Snapdragon, good SOT, is what I've also been getting on mines .???
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Debloated with Package Disabler and using Hybernation manager...who needs root..lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zanr Zij:
What did you do in that 10h sot? Scroll capture pls!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
If you are asking what I did on my phone..I used it..Youtube..texting..phone calls Tapatalk..Discord..little bit of gaming..quite a few Marco Polos. Loaded a few stock odin firmwares. So yeah I used my phone. I have charged my device since so a "scroll capture" isnt there
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zanr Zij:
N960 in your signature so show data, don't talk only please :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LiquidSnake9:
Yeah I'm getting 5-6hrs SOT but im using fast charging to charge the phone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Virgo_Guy:
Exynos.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
What are you talking about? Take that crap elsewhere. What you think I just leave my devices screen on and thats it? People like you is why Xda has become a joke. If your not getting the same screen time as someone else it doesnt mean its not true. I been at this game for a long time my friend. Each persons setup is different so battery will be different for each user. If you have anymore question about anything send me a PM before you try to be an XDA warrior.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Yes I turned device off while I installed screen protector
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
I use regular charge. Me personally and its just my preference, I think fast charging on a regular basis does more harm then good..but again its just me..im kinda OCD[emoji1787]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zanr Zij:
I don't think a single war word. I used many Android flagship phones enough to know what is max out of a device :). I don't believe Note9 can do that under normal condition. There is no magic here!

I don't want/like PM. Discussion is the better way for us and for everyone :)

Edit: just saw your 2nd post. Abnormal batt life and still don't know anything about brightness, batt saver mode .. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
1st I really dont get what your deal is. I have no reason to lie, what good does that do. 2nd not sure what you mean about abnormal battery life. When I took that screen shot I turned off my phone to install my screen protector. I was showing my usage was at 5hrs screen time when I turned device off. Myself and another user here..(not saying name) had the same issue with Note 8 when we posted our screen on times. Im not sure what you think we are doing to fake anything just because your not getting the same. And no, post like this does not do anyone any good. Another friend of mine regularly gets 7hrs screen time from his Note 8 that has 80% limit on battery. Just saying its possible. So basically saying that someone is lying really rubs me the wrong way. Like I stated each user is different so when you understand that then maybe you will stop accusing someone of faking this. Last...I dont have anything to prove to you I was just joining the conversation. This pointless rant has taken up enough space. Sorry OP but it rubs me wrong when someone says im faking anything. Again sorry OP and anyone else that had to read this. I will not waste anymore time responding to negative comments.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Oh and to answer your other question..screen brightness
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Exactly you know what your getting, so you don't have to prove nothing to anyone, All that matters is your enjoying your phone, One reason i stop posting my battery life here, just Enjoy your phone, that's all that matters, Battery life is definitely great, anyway enjoy ???
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Well said Venom[emoji106]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] LiquidSnake9:
Yeah you're right. I also thought fast charging is harmful if you're planning to use the phone for long term
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
If I can find the article that I read months ago about battery charging I will post here. It basically said that for best results and longevity do not let battery drop below 20% and only charge to 80%. But I know thats hard for peeps to do when they want a full charge.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Touchmetallic:
My battery life is not even close to ridiculous 9-10 hours SOT that some of you are getting. I even have knox ad blocker installed but it's still in 3-4 hour SOT range.

Though I do have dual sim Exynos version and my work location has pretty bad network reception. Whatever...
