Exynos the battery is quite good.

Dual sim always, location high + wifi scan when wifi off, max resolution on (WQHD+), no AOD

On 4G i get around 5 hours SOT and on WIFI around 6 SOT

Those that are getting 8hours+ probably sometimes they are using the phone in airplane mode with WIFI enabled or not at all and a lot other things that they do not mention so please do not take them as "normal" people because it's not fair what they are presenting and does not reflect a normal day to day user.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] high_voltage:
As some noted, depending on the usage - the battery life on pie is worse vs oreo. For me it's also worse as I multitask a lot. The SOC CPU control is tuned differently for more performance. Sadly, it's leading to worse battery life while still lags massively behind the snapdragon 845 in performance. Luckily - it's a little bit faster. This is the reason why most likely those reports about lower battery life on pie will come from mainly exynos note 9 owners.

For me and my usage, it's not massively lower, but surely it's noticeable lower usage before need for recharge vs oreo. It's still ok. I am not so ok with the gutted multiwindow functionality and the rushed/bugged state (and that's funny given how many months the PIE update was in development + the beta).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] michelino159:
I also saw some recent tests of those with exynos and update Pie with Antutu around 260000 compared to the test made on Oreo around 244000. It sees the CPU and GPU increase and a consistent decrease to UX and MEM.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sprov:
Actually depends on the apps you're using, on wifi I got very high battery without airplane mode, which can make me go to 10 hrs of screen on
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] high_voltage:
For my phone antutu scores 250 000, the CPU is slightly lower overall (lower user experience score, higher multitasking score), UX is slightly lower, memory is similar and GPU is up from 96 to 105-106 = around 10% higher. The GPU part is transferred to all kind of GPU tests, I think it's a newer driver from ARM for the MALI GPU. The 260k is for the s9+ exynos variant... dunno why, but on oreo it also scores more than the note 9 exynos and that's sad given that the note even got a big as f heatpipe. Geekbench is similar to oreo tho. :)

Edit: Also I forgot to mention that pcmark scores decently higher on PIE for the exynos and that's the most important part as it's the closest to real life workload among the famous benchmark.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] realjumy:
Pie is giving me a better battery life than Oreo. I don't know if it is because I'm using the dark theme, but I usually end the day with a 20-30% more battery than usual.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] leebates1986:
Exynos on pie since last Friday.

General Facebook use, messaging. Mobile data on
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dajumper:
Exynos version
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ken2736:
Turned phone off over night. But 7 hrs SOT all on 4G LTE. All on Pie. Doesn't seem too bad. 18% left to go
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
I know my buddy K-alz will not mind this. I was on CSAA was only getting about 5hrs screen time. Went back to Oreo ARL2 At&t same setup...Oreo has been better for me.View attachment 4700896
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ken2736:
Ended up with 9 hrs at 2% battery. All 4g no wifi
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
When I use the phone it's really good, but the standby time horrible. I'd normally lose 4% overnight, but I've been losing over 12% at night. I wanna go back to oreo but scared of bricking my phone on Odin. Lol

How's your standby time. I'd like you to test it out for me. Have it charged before you go to sleep and leave it over night and report here, please.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
But how? [emoji23] I even factory reset my phone and went through a couple charge cycles.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
I actually just did it the other night. I only lost a couple percent over night. But I'll do it again tonight and give you a more accurate number.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Much appreciated. Did you take an ota or did you use the update.zip to get pie?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
I used the update zip. I'm on T-Mobile. They haven't released pie yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Man, this is so frustrating. There is probably a reason why they didn't release it. It was supposed to be on the 4th, but some bugs might have shown up or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
I doubt it. All the carriers will be on the same version. And I've seen zero bugs with the build so far.

---------- Post added at 10:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 AM ----------

If T-Mo doesn't push CSAA, then we will have to wait until next month's update, CSB*
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Then what could it be? My phone is brand new. Only a month old. I'll wait a couple of cycles and see then.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
What is CSB? The next update?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
I honestly have no idea why you're having issues. I've had phones in the past where I just never got the battery life other people did. It is strange for sure.

Yes, the next build will likelu be CSB*.

C - Pie

S - 2019

B - February

* - Series of builds in that month (1-9, A-Z)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] AB__CD:
How'd you get android system usage so low?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
I wanna know that, too. Mine is always up to 10+%

I just debloated the crap out of my phone through CMD. I've removed all the extra crap that Samsung adds. Just left Samsung cloud and debating on whether or not to remove it, too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
All that debloating may be your problem. The phone may be trying to access resources you disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Those issues where actually there before I've removed a single bloat. I JUST debloated the phone trying to fix this issue. Gonna test it without the bloat for a couple of days and see if that fixes it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Oh! Gotcha. I misunderstood. Keep us updated.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
I will. Thanks. Is it safe to revert back to oreo with odin?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Unless you get drunk, fall down, and hit your head while doing it, it's perfectly safe. But wear a helmet and maybe a condom just to be sure.

The main issue is if you stick on Oreo, you miss out on security updates and are open to exploits.

My guess is you have a rogue app. You should stick with Our, do a factory reset, and then run it without any added apps for a few days. Then slowly add your apps back, maybe just 2 or 3 a day until you see the drop in battery life. That will narrow down what app is causing the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Lol. I see. I've dug into the developer options and found background check. Disabled s couple of useless system apps from running in the background, uninstalled a couple of apps that I suspected and installed BBS and now it seems a bit better. I'll definitely resort to the factory reset option if all failed. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ken2736:
Maybe keep clearing my background apps? Not really sure. Always closed multiwindow apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
I see many people do that. I've always had the impression that keeping the recent apps open is better for the battery
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Btw, another thing I've noticed on pie is that I don't have the 4k 6fps video recording anymore! Do you have that or is it just me?

Or is it maybe hidden somewhere? I have the phone resolution set to QHD View attachment 4701448
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
It's there. Select 16:9 ratio. Then click the 1080P setting under that to change it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Thank you. I almost had a heart attack. [emoji23]

I only record in the highest resolution
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zedwards:
I'm on Sprint. Don't use a lot, but text all day and was on the phone about an hour total. So seems like pretty good standby capabilities with some mild usage. Helps not being on social network anymore!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
If you calculate it, you'd only be getting 6 hours of SOT, though. That's a lot less than oreo.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zedwards:
Don't think I ever got that either.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] FtaWolf:
Not to bad here @ all.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Here you go. Nearly 12 hours in standby and I only lost 5%. So less than 1/2% per hour. I think I can live with that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
That's very good. Oreo is still slightly better. I've always lost 4% or less on oreo. Thank you so much. I've deleted a couple of apps and now the battery is much better. Yesterday, I got 6.5 hours and I hope today I'll get more.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
You lost only 4 percent over 12 hours? Cause I left this on standby extra long just to see how it would do. If I have left this on standby for a typical sleep cycle, it would've only lost 3-4%
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
No, not 12. Not gonna lie. I never sleep more than 6 or 7 hours, so, it's either 6 or 7 hours time period lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
That's what I thought. So on Oreo, you wouldve lost 6 or 7% in 12 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Basically. I'm gonna test tonight on Pie
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
For the record, I don't sleep 12 hours either. LOL. I Just used my Note 8 to make sure I could leave my Note 9 on standby for a sufficient time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Haha. Don't worry, sleeping for more than 6 hours is almost non existent for the average adult American. All we do is work
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bahbrother:
Anyone have Google Play Services eating your battery?...getting crappy battery on Pie
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Right here [emoji113]. You can restrict it from running in the background by going to developer options and find "background check". Then you can stop them from running in the background.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bahbrother:
What about samsung push notification..thats been running in the background too
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Don't disable that. It's your notifications. If you stop it, I don't think you'd get notifications anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Bahbrother:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
No problem
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Aaaand finally back to oreo. Much much better. I'll probably wait for a couple of updates after the first release of pie. I've struggled with it for the last couple of days. lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Easy procedure? I'll be doing it soon
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Very. Just download the ARL1 firmware, extract and throw the pieces in Odin. It'll take a while then goes to stock recovery. You can either reboot like normal from there do a factory reset like I did just in case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
If you're downgrading from Pie to Oreo you have to do a factory reset. Otherwise it will bootloop.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Not me. Took the OTA a couple of days ago and after it did a factory reset and this is what I get. Not really worried about it. Chargers everywhere and this phone has never died out of my "crazy usage" ever since I got it anyway. View attachment 4717065
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ianmb:
I saw a video of a guy who "reset" his battery after the Pie update. I tried it and it seems to have worked, could be a placebo though...lol

He went into stock recovery mode and wiped cache, rebooted then opened dialer and hit *#0228# and hit the button at the bottom to "reset" the battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Meh, I've already done that. I really don't care anymore whether I got 9 hours or 4 hours of SOT as I never use my phone more than 4 hours a day and sometimes even less. It's just an unnecessary stress [emoji23]

GSI IS DONE CHECK THE LINK BELOW, IT'S CURRENTLY IN PROGRESS BELOW IS THE STATUS ME WORKING ON IT

THE GSI PIE TUTORIAL

Grab these two files (Big Thanks to @Zerovoid from 4PDA, @Seryioo, and @mac12m99)

Fixed SDCard Support TWRP Image File (Download this and put this on your SDCard and Computer)-

Original Fixed TWRP XDA Post

Fixed SDCard Support TWRP Installer Zip (Download and put this on your SDCard)-

Fixed TWRP .zip Installer

But I got TWRP on 10.0.4.0 with magisk, and Justice Kernel.

THIS WILL WIPE YOUR DEVICE I'M DEFINITELY NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST DATA, SD CARDS, ETC

Start with the phone being on with USB Debugging enabled correctly and bootloader unlocked

Type: adb reboot bootloader

So flash the 10.0.4.0 ROM through MiFlash using the flash_all.bat, this process has to be done so backup your data before erasing.

After it is done flashing it restarts, go ahead and hold power and volume down right back to the Bootloader

Type: fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-daisy_zero.img

It would boot into TWRP, if you see something about decryption hit cancel this may mean you haven't followed directions so far

Tap install and find your SD Card, find the fixed-twrp-installer-daisy.zip where ever you put it on your SD Card and install it, this process takes a few minutes when finished DO NOT HIT REBOOT SYSTEM!

Hit the home button back to TWRP home screen and tap reboot >>> bootloader

Download this to your computer -

aboot.img

Type: fastboot flash aboot aboot_9.6.4.img

Then type: fastboot reboot

Afterwards your phone shall boot up to Android if it does hold power and volume up and release power and keep hold volume up when the screen turns back on to go-to recovery, if TWRP boots up you have successfully completed the task.

Now flash Magisk zip (optional)

Hopefully this helped kind of my first tutorial, this was my process.

You have to extract the file using WinZip, it's just like a .zip file. But after you extract the stock rom there should be another file in that extract that too and select the folder extracted folder with all of the .img in it in MiFlash.

You must have the Pie ROM to do this

- Go to the TWRP Home Screen and select Mount

- Untick "Mount system partition read-only"

Restore was starting then, but after 99% this error appeared:

The extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255

The device didn't start anymore and I had to set it up again.
