[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Makonator:
I did use ADB to uninstall some samsung apps...since I update manualy android 12 phone is still in ''testing period''... 2 days ago something weird happened, I left phone with 30% bat. and went to bed, after cca 13h (don't ask why :) ) phone was off...empty bat. Today I push phone to the limit, it seems that drain happen only in sleep mode. Also I have had some deep sleep thing on (set from 2am to 6 am), now I've turn that off and will test.

Also I'm not good at ''reading'' this wake locks etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] blackhawk:
It's likely a cloud app. Google backup Transport maybe.

All those social apps are busy little beavers too.

Screen off, internet/phone on battery usage:

Always on AOD 1%@hr

Tap on AOD > 0.5%@hr

This is what you should be getting.

You got some witch hunting to do...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Makonator:
Bro, you removed everything :)

My wifi, bluetooth and mobile data are always on :)

It's not social apps, I have them before, AOD is off atm...No cloud activated (bad internet)...Must be some app that I removed with ADB got some leftovers that keep waking phone.

As I said, test period...I will probably factory reset it...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] blackhawk:
Lol, Google backup Transport is DOA.

Playstore and Google play Services normally disabled. OTA updates is another parasite.

Don't forget to turn off Google Firebase and all app, carrier, all feedback.

Wifi is always disabled on mine so I can't say either way. Bluetooth's drain should be very small.

I use a package disabler so I can block on the fly.

You're doing right by not going too hog wild disabling packages. Disable only if you know exactly what they do and any dependencies they have. Many apks just sit there harmlessly unless needed.

Be especially wary of the dozens of small Samsung system apks that modify the UI; killing them can do weird things. Since Pie Samsung as added more than I can count (Android 9 vs 10) to preserve the UI functionality.

Lol, it took me a while to optimize my 10+. Oddly my Android 10 variant's setup is near a carbon copy of the 9 variant.

Great phone. I luckily manage to get get snapdragon version of note 10 plus in UK and screen on time is amazing 8 hours with heavy usage
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] blackhawk:
The beast is a great phone that's well built, pretty much a very capable mini dual drive PC.

Disabling Google play Services will get you even better battery life. I enable once or twice a day to get gmail or for trash apps that need it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Rajaasim1980:
true a very good all-around phone from Samsung and no need to pay twice more for the latest S or note series just for a slightly better camera. I really love DEX with MacBook pro to mirror phone screen on MacBook and easy to drop files between phone and Macbook which is pain otherwise.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] blackhawk:
It's a very capable device.

The display may be the best ever produced as far as white point and color rendering index. Variable refresh rate displays use more power and are extremely hard to color calibrate. Accurate color and gamma are more important to me than refresh rate. The failure rate is much higher on the variable rate displays, but is almost unheard of with the N10+'s. It's great for watching vids.

No 5G on mine so less battery drain.

Android 9 or 10 are also big pluses.

The cam is very good and your shots will improve as you gain more experience with it. It's cam also nearly flush to the rear cover, no hump.

The SD card slot blows away all the new flagships. Slam a V30 .5-1tb Sandisk Extreme into it and rock, instant data drive.

Best form factor of all Samsung Flagships after it. With 12gb it just doesn't run out of ram, normally it will have at least 5 or 6gb in reserve if you need it. Best of all, it's snappy; turn off animations etc and watch it go.

For these reasons I blew off the newer flagships and I just don't care. Having a fun, dependable smartphone that fulfills its mission is better than a new flagship phone that's getting face planted by its ill concieved and implemented technologies.

Never thought I say this about a 3 yo phone🤣

I use whatever comes in handy😎
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Xrunner87:
True. Especially, I updated it to ONEUI 4, it feels even snappier and more responsive. If watching videos and movies, etc is your major concern, this is still one of the best displays out there. 60Hz + relatively power-efficient CPU = decent SOT. I'm getting 6~7hr of SOT, Exynos variant, with a 2yo, 700+ charge cycle battery. Planning to give it a new battery and see how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] blackhawk:
This device gets good battery run times if optimized. I get anywhere from 7-13%@hr SOT. The battery is getting near replacement time so it's starting to fall off, it was 6-12%@hr with screen brightness at 40%.

Yeah replace the battery before it fails and swells. I was lucky it didn't damage my display when my battery failed. The first one lasted 1.5 years. Now I replace them every year or so... just about that time.

On a new battery you can easily get 8-10+ hours if optimized, at least on Pie. No idea (well enough not to load it) how Android 11 and especially 12 behave.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
LOL, now that's different.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] ipmanwck:
Just got a refurb n10+ from 4gadgets UK for £234 it's immaculate and love it but battery has obviously degraded and only gets me to 7pm before dying. May have to get a battery replaced. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] blackhawk:
Is the battery degraded or is it using excessive battery because its not optimized?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] ipmanwck:
Hmmm... I used to be hot on all this when I was a lot younger but now I have no clue. I have attached some screen shots I hope this helps? Any advice would be appreciated as want to keep this phone but battery seems not great. Using at 1080p also.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] blackhawk:
That's a lot of junkware. Lose all the social media apps. They should never be installed.

Keep screen brightness at 50% or lower, use manual control.

Nova is likely sucking more battery than One UI does too. Try temporarily disabling Google play Services and see if that helps.

You are what you load... if it running warm at idle there's your answer.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] ipmanwck:
Yes nova is a pain but I love the Google now feed with swipe right from home screen and one ui has that awful Samsung free news feed and horizontal app drawer.. So annoying. I had an oppo reno 10x zoom before this and battery was so much better
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] blackhawk:
You got so much junk running in the background and you are burning up that battery.

This is what an optimized N10+ looks like...

Mind you this battery is nearing the end of its service life. It has a capacity of about 3600 mAh at this point.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Makonator:
Old guy still hold good 🙂
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] blackhawk:
Your Android Sevices and Kernel usage are very high. Not normal.

Likely a combination of installed trashware and configuration, things running in the background that don't need to be. Not optimized.

Social media apps should never be installed; if must use them login through a secure browser like Brave.

The high current drain will eventually degrade the battery prematurely. You could be getting double that SOT. Lol, that looks more like S22U SOT profile.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Makonator:
Yh yh, I know, you buy top phone than use it like Nokia 3310.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] blackhawk:
It does exactly what I want it to. I'm holding a fast 1.5tb dual drive PC in my hand. Those excess cpu cycles are also slowing your N10+ down and hogging the bandwidth as well. I don't have trouble streaming vids; no competing parasitic bandwidth drain. You're needlessly dogging yours down...

There's no good reason this phone should be running warm near idle. You're are halving the service life of that battery as well. I can use mine indefinitely at 98F ambient air temperature for browsing without cooling or overheating. The social media apps are multiple vector high level security risks especially when installed. You are what you install.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] rupiec/:
My score is still atrocious at best.

Exynos variant, Dr Ketan rom s07 (android 12).

No changes I make affect it; What I mean is optimization guides, aod, using raiden tweaks, built in battery saver, changing resolution...

It's horrible. Today I was sitting in a room with poor reception for 6 hours - and I get it - poor reception makes battery drain faster, but 48% including using the phone in the morning for half an hour? Cmon, something is definitely up. My phone is usually warm when I pull it out my pocket - so any tips are welcome :D

Note: my battery is quite fresh - I exchanged it for a new, genuine samsung unit around half a year ago and been to a samsung store to "officially" reset battery cycles.

/Edit - 48% because it went down 2 (now even 3%) while writing this post
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] maxime4611:
Exynos version here. I'm impressed by the +7h of SOT some People get. I'm stuck at 5h30 which is great but not impressive...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] psychofedex:
This is mine since i restricted background activity.

I cant notice any changes in performance or anything, but SOT is greatly improved since "android system" was eating almost same percentages as screen.

Before restriction and on FHD, i was on 4:30 SOT at max.

And resolution is at max, WHQ. So im good.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] ronak_1078:
What do you mean by restricted background activity? Mine is also currently at 4-5hr SOT. Maybe changing the background activity will increase my SOT Too.

---------- Post added at 10:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 AM ----------

What app is this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] psychofedex:
While you are in battery stats, you'll see "Android system".

Press it and you'll see it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] a2kay:
So I'm not happy with my Note 10 Plus. Exynos Version

- Auto brightness on

- Bluetooth off

- AOD off

- Location via routines only with maps

- Dolby Atmos about routines only with Youtube

- SPEN actions

- SD card is in it

Usage about 50% WiFi / 50% 4G +

I was in the 50% 4G + outside under direct sunlight. As soon as I'm on the mobile network, I'm pretty fast, especially when I'm out in the sun. Are they still good values ​​or should I worry?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] phongnd02:
Mine is Note 10 Plus Snapdragon Version with 7h 38m SOT after T-Mobile firmware installed. (Originally I only got the Unlocked Version but only get 5h 30m due to weak 4G LTE signal caused by Unlocked Firmware Version)

[IMG="Note 10 Plus Snapdragon with Tmobile Firmware"]https://i.ibb.co/JzLh1X1/Screenshot-20190909-013813-Settings.jpg[/IMG]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] maxime4611:
Exynos here

2h listening to the music, counting my workout at the gym (1h30), discussing on messenger...

No AOD

4g mostly, WiFi on, Bluetooth on, location On, Night mode On...

What is this crappy Phone ?

I Just bought it the last thursday... ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] ronak_1078:
Does it affect trouble in app notifications coming through? Like whatsapp and all?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] elegalll:
I guess mine is getting better....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] psychofedex:
Im dont get notifications on time since I previosly got Note 9 :)

So its kinda tue same, I personally dont see any differences between that option enabled and disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] a2kay:
Mine Exynos N10+ looks so . The Battery can better, don't know what I do wrong
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] lennie:
Go in developer options » running services, do you see those 66 services running? Yeah, they're burning up your battery even when your phone is idle and more while it's active.

For me

snapdragon

N10+ 512

I make sure to disable or remove apps and services I don't use

For example, I don't use the Samsung keyboard (I use SwiftKey) so I disable the Samsung keyboard no reason to have it running in the background using up resources, then there's a service called "Sticker Center" that's only used by that keyboard so I disable that too because I don't need or use it.

This is what my running services look like
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] lounch:
Hello i'm very disappointed with my n10+ exynos.

Look the screen. Is it normally ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] lennie:
I have the snapdragon variant so I can't speak too much about the Exynos. Maybe someone with an Exynos can chime in and tell if that's normal.

but a couple things I've noticed from your screen shot.

Android system and Google search are using way too much power, 24% in less than 10 hours, something is wrong there. They're not going to sleep. Maybe try disabling their background activity.

Also, I noticed that you're not getting good cell reception. Your phone would usually always poll for a closer tower so it uses a of power to there too.

I see that you have the edge screen/side panel running. If you're not using it then it kind of doesn't make sense to have it running killing your batteries. Apps and services that you don't use would make sense to disable them or disable their background activity and background network access.

Go into Developer Options, scroll down to the bottom where you'll find "Background Process Limit" set that to 4. This will reduce the amount of apps running in the background should improve battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] lounch:
Thx for your answer i try this.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] jimv1983:
Most of these battery life reports are pretty disappointing considering it's a 4300mAh battery.

Upgraded from Note 8 (only because I damaged the internal OLED panel, didn't consider upgrading to the Note 10 or any other device this year prior to destroying Note 8)

Note 10+ N975F Exynos - 256 Gb Variant

- Just got the device, day 1 stats & remarks:

- Pretty impressed by the battery life

- WQHD all the way (except for the first 10 mins of usage, FHD was the default resolution)

- plugged in the phone to my PC for about 10 mins since full charge to do execute some adb commands to debloat my phone (link)

- 4G, WiFi, GPS, NFC, Auto brightness on all day

- Bluetooth on at 30% mark

- Blacked it out with Synergy and Substatum

- AoD on with AoDnotify

- Got WhatsApp, Twitter and Instagram, Outlook with 2 accounts syncing

- Nova Launcher & Nice Lock since Good Lock isn't working for me (I get server issue???)

The phone feels amazing overall
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] indup:

Day two

I might try FHD resolution tomorrow, see how much longer will the battery last
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] lennie:
Impressive numbers you got there for an Exynos.

I always tell people to disable the apps and services they're not using it will definitely give them a few more hours of screen on time.

Also, do you mind telling me how much memory nova uses?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] lmaoboi:
Hmm I didn't check at the time. I have Greenify but I manually use it (rarely as well since most of the stuff are labeled "Background free")

Currently, this is what my memory consumption look like. Seems high.

On a side note, the charging speed on this device is insane!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Reaper1337:
Which Package Disabler Do you use?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] lennie:
Yeah that looks a bit high. If you should clean now you'll only get back half of that. Are you sure you're not having a memory leak somewhere there? Nova?

And your reserved space is more than mine. I got 841

I was actually asking specifically about nova launcher though. I remember it used to be a memory hog at times, and tend to leak. So I wanted to know if they've fixed the issues. Especially the leaks. Other than that

SOT 7 h 28 M with 5 hours on Amazon prime VIDEO! this phone is a beast
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] vodovodo:
I switched from exynos to Snapdragon, long story short it's a different phone !!! I jumped from 4 or 4 and half hours SOT to over 9 hours with the same setup! I can feel the difference in smoothness as well!

Seriously Samsung is doing something terrible here

Where are you based and which Snapdragon variant did you buy?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] indup:
after having the note 8 i wasnt going to buy another samsung due to the terrible battery in the exynos version (im in uk), but i got caught in the hype and bought note 10+ and that battery is really bad on this as well.

Which Snapdragon variants will work here in the UK?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Reaper1337:
I cant reproduce such Bad battery life you guys are having.

I have an exynos Version in germany, having roughly 8 % Battery drain per hour With screen on With WiFi only and 8-12% per hour on mobile data

KUWAIT, and i got it from ebay.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] ronak_1078:
Why am i getting such terrible battery life! I have medium power saving on all the time and dark theme and wallpapers, still my SOT is max 4-5hrs!

Can someone help with some pointers?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] djct_watt:
So I'm still testing SOT, but I found that I seemed to bleed battery when connected to WiFi.

Tried changing these settings and am now easily getting a day and a half of life between charges. Before, it was a struggle to last a full day.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] Reaper1337:
These are exactly the changes i made

As well As Not Auto connecting to Hotspot 2.0

Getting excellent battery life
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] deckensian:
Having my Note 110+ for over a week now, Exynos variant. Battery life is amazing. Wife, blutooth, 4g are always on and screen resolution is max. I usually stay my day at 9 a.m get home sty 5 and never went below 30%. Jumping between YouTube videos, social media and some games. Coming from a Note8, this is amazing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] winol:
Well exactly my case, this note10+ exynos gives me more SOT and standby time than my beloved note 8, I have all the enhacements on, I just turn off location and cellular data when in home, use AOD with adaptive brightness, in standby it drains 0.4%-0.5% per hour, and a full charge yields more than 8 hours, but I disabled a number of things with CCSWE, (bixby except vision, all facebook stuff, smart things, google search, chrome, etc) but in turn, I installed a bunch of things that always run in the background, as macrodroid, statusbar magic pro, network type indicator, network monitor mini, virtual button bar, ampere, system ui tuner, battery hd+, signal notifier, volume visualizer, volume locker, all in one gestures, nicelock an almost all its modules, always on top timr and memo, chargie, download progress bar, notification shorcuts, adguard, mainly to deprive some apps from using data, date in status bar, brightness factors, so, I am VERY happy with the battery life, that's it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] lmaoboi:
You're correct, cleared the memory and got 2.8 Ghz.

I apologize, I have missed the Nova part :D

I haven't noticed Nova on my radar since Note 8. Here's a 3-hour Average or memory consumption. I'll be monitoring it closely and report back if I see something fishy with it

Also, I noticed this interesting thing in the battery information. I wonder if every device has its own unique minimum capacity. Mine says 4170 mAh
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] lmaoboi:
Ok so I tried the adaptive power saving setting with the same previous set up (WQHD, blah blah etc...)

Pretty happy about this result. 1 day and 9 Hours, 6.5 hours of SoT.

I noticed it switches between "Optimised" and "Medium power saving" modes with adaptive power saving on. Resolution stays untouched though.

I downloaded Macrodroid and I'm experimenting with it but I doubt it'll affect my battery consumption
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] winol:
This 4170 mA thing has been discussed in other threads, that number is the minimum guaranteed capacity of the battery, ampere app and others report that same number, which is not measured, just read from internal specs, the real figure would be at least 4170 mA, and around 4300, slightly less or sightly more
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] jimv1983:
I've read through all the posts here and while the battery life in most cases doesn't seem to be bad it sure is less then I would expect given the hardware specs. If that's what it is now when the phone is brand new I can imagine what it will be like in a year or more. Especially if it's charged on a wireless charger on a regular basis.

Is this just typical Samsung battery hogging software or is something else going on?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] lmaoboi:
Oh I must've missed that. Thanks for the input!

Same old settings, this time I turned off the adaptive power saving cause it interfered with aodNotify.

1 day, 14 hours, almost 6 hrs SoT
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] smentoma:
Note 10 + exynos my battery is beast. I ve got 9 h and 54 min. In anotherday 3 h and 45 min navigation with youtube with only 40% battery than the rest 45% 3 h and 30 min youtube. The battery is amazing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] laskano13:
what rom do you have? :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Real Life Review] lennie:
Hmm, ok Nova seems a bit high but not too bad I guess.

About the Battery info, I noticed it on first setup was a bit perplexed as what the hell do they mean. Did they sell me a 4170 battery or 4300mah. It seems they're up to some shenanigans.

That looks cool but your Android System is using too much power for only that length of time. It shouldn't be using more than 5% in 24 hours. I get 7% to 8% usage in 4 and 3 days.

So that's over 10% of your battery wasted by Android System (that's probably another hour of SOT). I try to make sure that my battery power goes to where I need it, know what I mean?

Try restrict its background activity and that should save you some power but keep in mind that some Google apps and services will try to turn it back on so I guess give it a check from time to time.
