Yes! It's not all the story since the apps consumption is negligible if you don't really use them, for instance be careful to disable functions that use sensor like the ones in advanced features, try to use as less bluetooth perks with the s-pen, careful with location and try to stay below 80% brightness. Charge without fast charging and stay as much as you can between 15%-85% battery.

Here the apps/services i disabled:

upday

of course you can enable the ones you want if you use them

I also changed my dns to 1.1.1.1, don't know the impact of it in terms of battery

Black theme to everything you are comfortable with

Setting to auto the always on display or using the feature that doesn't allow the phone to turn on in pocket use the ambient light sensor and proximity sensor - this drains some battery

Try to block as many notifications from apps as you can

My suggestions could never end XD try navigate every menu and value every option. Shortcuts don't really matter but the things related to sensors or automation consume battery. Every little thing you can adjust to your real need make the difference
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] silverwings2008:
Thanks for the tips [MENTION=6999316]Sprov[/MENTION]

Did you uninstall them via adb or just put them to sleep?

DNS, you just using an app for that?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sprov:
I use adhell both for disable apps and change my dns. It's a bit tricky to setup fhe first time, there's an official guide, with some passages peculiar for the note 9. You can search for the thread here on xda. You need also to get a knox license from samsung, all of this requires about 30 minutes the first time. Main use of adhell is ad blocking at system level but it has a lot of features. If you're only interested in dns and disabling apps you can do it with adb with the latter, for the DNS there's an option in the Connection settings on the phone: in More Connection Settings tap on Private DNS and type 1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sprov:
Adhell doesn't work anymore because samsung changed criteria to get KNOX license. From now on I will use package disabler pro OR ADB to disable system apps and services, for ADS blocking I changed the DNS from the "more connection settings", you can use the one from ADguard or get a customizable one from nextdns.com

Man, I can't believe you're getting such awesome battery life from the SM-N960F. I have the same device (512GB variant) and I barely get 3hours SOT. I think I could get more SOT if I really pushed for it but I don't use my phone as often as some. I just don't see why it should be down to less than 15% when I go to bed (11-12pm) after taking it off charge in the morning at around 8am!

I did a google drive app restore when I set up the device so maybe this is causing the battery drain? or is there a chance I have a faulty device? I am still within my 30 day return period with the seller so should I return it?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Da-BOSS:
The Power Of Oreo

Exynos here too.. ;)

well.. tbh.. sadly PIE is really bad... it consume alot of battery life to have the same performance as Oreo level.

Those are my battery life (Notice) I don't charge my battery to 100%..

I limit my charge to 85~88%

only to have a minimum amount of battery wear on long term..

All screenshots are taken at

around 50%

of battery so.. you must know that I can achieve more than what could those screenshot provide and

you must know

that if I charged my battery to 100% I can achieve much more SOT than those screenshot... :angel:

See the screen shots with Oreo battery and tell me if you can achieve that on Pie... :confused: [sorry about one of the screen shots it doesn't shows the battery graph but believe me it was not intentionally] I'm saying that just to prevent people from saying fake :)

Notice... all screenshots are taken while using my own kernel [THEBOSS-Zeus Kernel]

your milage may vary if you are using other than my kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] stiffis:
Did you update you phone to the latest update and did a factory reset? if not, try that
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mcall_r:
Yes I did actually, was just about to post about it.

Flashed again the CFSA rom via odin and performed full wipe at the same time.

Reinstalled all apps via Google backup (I couldn't be bothered starting from scratch this time).

Now, I think I notice standby drain a little better but still nowhere in the region of 6-9 hours SOT as others are getting!

I put the phone to airplane mode overnight (7hrs) and it only lost 2%

The night before I didn't put it to airplane mode and it lost 5% in the same period.

Overall getting about 4hrs SOT, but that's only because I don't push it (I am not glued to my phone all day when at work, I use WhatsApp Web though)

I do have a gear s3 watch connected all day, therefore Bluetooth is on. I don't have WiFi at work so most of the day I'm on 4G+.

I can literally watch the battery counter going down when I use my Sony Bluetooth headphones (LDAC codec) for 30 mins on way to work and 30 mins after work.

All in all I don't think the battery life is terrible, but it's nowhere near 2 day for me.

Coming from a huawei p20 pro and it had awesome battery life, especially standby. I do like the note though. It feels like a more refined OS (huawei was buggy and ugly) and although huawei camera better on paper, note is much more natural and sharp shots.

Thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] stiffis:
When you "performed full wipe" what did you actually do? The best thing to do to get a totally wiped phone it to erase and re-partition the phone when flashing (You'll need the PIT-file, that you can extract from the CSC-file with 7-zip)

You could also try to use GSAM or BetterBatteryStats to check whats using the battery. Remember also to put your apps in "always sleep" under battery settings.

Other things to try:

- Install naptime

- Do some doze tweaks via ADB (https://forums.oneplus.com/threads/...and-optimised-agressive-doze-settings.758507/)

- Disable wifi and bluetooth scanning

- Disable facebook services

- Check your apps-list for "hidden" apps (those you install that does not appear in your app-drawer) and other you don't need
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mcall_r:
I performed full wipe by flashing the CSC file through odin (not the HOME_CSC file). I didn't do a repartition.

Will try the below and report back. I think the reason that huawei gets better battery is that their aggressive battery saving algorithms automatically puts all apps to sleep, and you actually have to uncheck the apps you don't want to sleep. Samsung seems the other way around. While probably more reliable, it doesn't give the average user prolonged battery life unless seeking to extend it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] stiffis:
Yeah, try that (remember to tick off for both nand erase and re-partition in odin).

There has always been "bad" batterylife on Samsung phones (at least for me). While others get 10-12hr SOT in 2-3 days, I get MAX 8hr SOT in 1 day if i only watch movies or YT.. at average I get 5-6hr SOT per full charge..

I have also noticed something weird about the battery and it's capacity on the Note 9. I just had it serviced and got both a new battery and motherboard, SOT went from 4-5h to 7-8h, so there is sure some problems with hardware. I then fully discharged the battery and fuly charged it. Measured around 3980mah, next day I did the same thing and measured around 3890mah, waited a couple of days with "40-85%" charging and did the same again. here i measured around 3830mah.. Weird..

I did have to do a factory-reset recently and did the same, a couple of times. measuring 3 871mah and 3 894mah, thats at least positive :D Will just have to wait to see if this holds it's capacity, my old battery measured around 3680 just after a couple of months

(For measuring I have been using Accubattery. OFC i don't trust it 100%, it is just for "fun")
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mcall_r:
OK, so I've installed Accubattery and Naptime (set to agressive).

I disabled all unused apps under developer options > Standby Apps and also Background Check.

I've charged to 100% at 12:30 today, and Accubattery reports my battery capacity is only 3414mAh! :eek: Does it take a few cycles for this to become accurate? If not, I will probably return this device. I got it from a reputable refurbisher in UK (MusicMagpie), in Pristine condition. It looked brand new when I opened it, but if this is true then obviously not!

Worse than this, my battery is now down to 68% after only 1hr 19mins SOT and 30 mins Youtube!

I find this unacceptable. Every time I look at my phone it has pretty much lost a %.

I really like the screen, camera and form factor of this device. But since I am still in 30 days return period, I may get Huawei Mate 20 X instead. However I will miss the massive 512GB on board storage..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] stiffis:
Did you charge from 0 to 100? If so I think you should return it :rolleyes: Never buy refurbished phones if battery hasn't been changed or it is very cheap. There is so much they can hide from you, or they didn't even know themselves. Maybe the phone wasn't tested? Was there a testreport with your phone?

Another thing you could try is to "calibrate" the battery by charge your phone to 100%, type in *#0228# in dialer and a Window should come up, take out the charger and tap on "quick start" and then yes/ok on the pop up screen. This will reset the "battery fuel gauge." Let your phone die completly and try to power it on a couple times or start the phone in recovery-mode (wipe cache at the same time) and let it just stay there to the screen turns off. Then charge your phone up to 100% and let it sit for an extra half an hour.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mcall_r:
No, no explicit test report but apparently all their phones go through stringent tests. They have 90+% rating on tripadvisor.

I didn't charge from full drain. Maybe will try that tonight and report back tomorrow about the %. Will return it and get a brand new one if same results tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] stiffis:
Ok, do that ? read my answer above again as I have edited it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mcall_r:
Ok, so did that. Let run down last night (i got less than 4 hours SOT) and then fully recharged to 100% this morning. It is showing now in accubattery that my battery capacity is 3467mAh :(

This morning, I have used 30 mins SOT and 23 mins Tidal streaming over 4G with Bluetooth headphones and the battery is down to 86% after being taken off charge 2 hours ago.

So it seems consistent that I will get around 14 hours out of the battery with ~4hours SOT, and this matches up to what Accubattery is telling me. This has barely improved since I flashed & reset the phone via Odin.

Does anyone else in this thread have their bluetooth switched on all day in order to use a Samsung or WearOS watch? I am using a Samsung Gear S3, always connected via bluetooth. This was never a problem with my old phone and bluetooth didn't seem to affect battery at all, so I am loathed to disable bluetooth to see if that is the battery drain culprit.

Seems like I will probably need to return it... :( Don't know whether to get another Note9 and hedge my bets on getting better results, or just go back to Huawei. Overall the Note is a better package, feels more refined and I like the size and shape better. Also cameras are subjective but I feel that with the f/1.5 camera on this one it takes much more natural shots than the crowd-pleasing huawei.

Can I ask how did you get the motherboard & battery replaced? Did you have to send it to Samsung service? How long did it take?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] stiffis:
I'm also using a Samsung Gear S3, so Bluetooth is always on, no problem..

I had to send my phone for a screen replacement (broken glass) so I at the same time got Mb/battery and chargeport replaced by warranty at the same time :o

You should try to contact them you bought the phone from and complain on batterylife, they should replace battery/mb for free under warranty. If not, just return it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mcall_r:
So, I returned the refurbished note 9 and bought a brand new one in my nearest Samsung store (100 miles round trip!). At first the battery seemed much better but now I don't feel like it is a great deal better than before.

This time instead of restoring from my Google account I used smart switch to transfer all the apps (this method only installs apps and doesn't transfer app data therefore every app is basically a fresh install).

Today I listened to some FLAC files via Blackplayer and had barely 30 mins SOT and already the battery has dropped 10%!

I also recently picked up a Huawei Mate 20 X in a sale for a crazy price, so trying that out also. Its nice and big, the screen is bright and punchy but the camera and screen resolution of the Note9 are pulling me back.

I've got Naptime running but it doesn't seem to really have any effect. If anything, I notice more battery drain since installing it! Could be my imagination though.

I think if I push it I can get high SOT, if using the phone constantly for 6, 7, 8+ hours but combined usage its a maximum of 4 hours SOT still and about 18 hours max from 100% to 0%.

By the way, I think that the AccuBattery battery health measurements are rubbish. When the phone was brand new out of the box it was already showing 100mAh less than design.

EDIT: Before I even used the phone I flashed the latest firmware via Odin, also doing the repartition with the pit file.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] stiffis:
Yeah, the battery drains a lot if you don't use the screen (like listening to music), it has always been like this on Samsung-phones (at least for me)..

I also think Accubattery isn't very accurate, but you will see difference in batterylife between 3450mah and 3900mah

But still 4h SOT is a bit low, but if you listen to music a lot, it may be why..

The newest update for naptime added a new feature, disable sensors when dozing. You could try that ;) also remeber to put all apps in "always hibernate" in battery-settings.

I just got 4h 30min SOT from 100% to 42% (13h 40min). 4/5% drain over night. Was a bit high because naptime was crashing xD but got fixed in latest update

Edit: did you disable Facebook services and other unused apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mcall_r:
Ok thanks, will try that.

Does this disable sensors feature break anything that you know of? I have my steps counted via my watch anyway so any other sensors that are useful? They need to fix the whitelist option because it only allows you to choose 1 app rather than tick multiple apps.

EDIT: Ah never mind, just saw this in their FAQ:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] stiffis:
For stepcounting the watch will use it's own sensors ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
no need to repartition ever. might be dangerous if flash gets interrupted. just use regular default options on odin.

also i believe that the june patch is the problem with bettery drain.

I ended up selling my note 9. Almost recouped full cost for it. I was in two minds about it for a while but ended up keeping my huawei mate 20 x that I got on amazon warehouse deals for cheap (£200 off rrp) during prime day.

The huawei absolutely spanks the note 9 in terms of battery life and speed and obviously screen size but I preferred the natural photos the note 9 took and of course the massive 512GB storage. Getting 8-10 hours SOT easily and 2 full days if only light use.

Dunno if I will go back to Samsung in the future unless they sort out their battery life!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] stiffis:
I also think I will sell my Note 9 soon.. getting tired of bad batterylife.. Thinking of buying the Asus ROG-phone 2 with it's 6000mah battery :laugh: or the Huawei Mate 20 X
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Great battery life at what cost, I used the Mate 10 Pro for a few months and the over aggressive battery management would kill notifications, alarms etc. Coming from a Mate 10 Pro to the Note 9, I can tell you this much, the Note 9 comes damn close if not better in battery life & ensures you get your notifications, and it's been further improved upon in the S10+, my battery life is better than my Note 9, I'd choose Samsung every time..

Hello! I've tried to install a custom rom on my Nvidia Shield K1. I've unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP recovery but did NOT root my device. I could intall Resurrection Mix 6.0.0 and later I've added the GAPPS (ARM, Android 8.1 stock version) but for whatever reason the google apps didn't work so I've decided to do a factory reset. So I've navigated to the factory reset in the OS's settings. After that it entered a boot loop. Ever since I can't install any OS because after I install the files in TWRP and I click "reboot system" it won't start even the OS (resurrection remix 6.0.0) that was periously working and the factory reset have been started from.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Boot into TWRP, choose the Wipe option, then choose the "advanced wipes" option, then choose the system partition, data partition, cache partition and dalvik cache partition(do NOT choose internal storage), then swipe the slider to wipe.

After the wipes are finished, flash your ROMs then flash Gapps but use a smaller Gapps package this time. Part of your issue might have been because you don't have enough space in your system partition to fit the size of the Gapps that you installed the first time. Flashing a smaller Gapps package might solve this.
