[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
I managed to get 4% drain in over 9 hours standby. Wifi was on. Probably the best it can do before crippling apps and functionality.

edit. managed to get 1% drain over 7 hours last night with mobile data on . Uninstalled 2 packages that I didn't have use for , samsung location sdk and samsung pass. the former seemed to be high held awake usage . I also disabled device health services .

Hello, how can we be of assistance? ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] :
Day 2 on HK N9860, 11pm-7am+, 100% to 96%.

No tweaks added except 5G is Off. Hope that helps :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
Next time take the measurement from when the battery level is less than 100%. You'll be surprised.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Chaitanya3122:
What are your other settings and what else have you disabled/removed..i am getting 5 % drain for 9 hours even after using naptime+greenify
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Mooatreides:
0.5%/hr is not bad at all
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
Multiple samsung apps inc bixby removed via adb also Chrome and ok google all gone as I don't use them. Also, digital well being and samsung cloud ...

There's a few threads replied on here by myself and other specifying which apps are removed. It all depends on what your needs are etc.

I do however use location sharing, messaging apps like telegram and unfortunately Whatsapp and Facebook.

This morning I got my lowest standby drain . It's probably a one off a fluke.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Chaitanya3122:
Thats Amazing

I am using Note 20 Ultra Korea Version. Removed Carrier & Samsung & Google bloatware via ADB

Med Power saving mode on

Set screen refresh rate to 96hz via ADB

Wifi and Location On

Dark Mode and most aps in Dark Mode

Naptime + Greenify for aggressive doze

Most of apps in deep sleep

Just whatsapp and outlook running but still getting only around 7 and half SOT.

Dont know whats wrong..as i expected 9 to 10 hrs SOT after doing so much optimization
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
Outlooks a battery hog. Mines set for deep sleep , so I have to manually check email since I don't mind.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Chaitanya3122:
Just wondering how much is your "Held Awake" for a full cycle from 100% - 5%..mine is about 4+ hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
I wouldn't know. I normally charge 40 to 80% or there about to be honest.

Here's my usage for around 39% of battery. Held awake 55mins.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Chaitanya3122:
Fantastic. Mine goes about 5 hours plus. Of which 3 hours is Kernel. Any idea on how to optimize that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
Something is keeping your device from dozing / sleeping. Check into Better Battery stats app perhaps. Or use method of elimination to see which app is causing this. By deleting one by one until you find the source of keep awake.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
Also next time if possible, show stats for GSAM as " last unplugged " , I find the last full charge option not very accurate if one doesn't charge to 100% .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Chaitanya3122:
Sure..Thanks for amazing support. I think Naptimes motion detection option is tweeking system to think as light doze but with parameters of deep doze. Are you using naptime or greenify on yours or shall is just uninstall it and try.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
No worries. No, I'm not using either of those two apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Anskjer:
Her are my use. App use is high and I don't understand why.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Anskjer:
My phone is draining battery while in pocket and I can't find why. 😪 do any one have the same problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Chaitanya3122:
UPDATE

-Uninstalled Greenify

-Switched back to Samsung Default Launcher from Nova

- put outlook in deep sleep

Still getting 3% standby drain for 8 hours overnight

Alarmtimer wakelock seems to be waking the device.

Any advice on that ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Mooatreides:
3% in 8 hours is 0.37%/hour

thats really good man whats the problem here?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Chaitanya3122:
Hi, No problem as such..

So I am using Note 20 Ultra Korea (SD 865)

I had to do following to achieve this

- Uninstall 1 x KWGT Clock and Weather Widget

- uninstall Nova Launcher

- uninstall DNS66

- uninstall greenify (paid)

- Use Naptime (paid) for aggressive doze

- use Dark Theme for UI and Apps and Dark Wall paper

- Medium Power saving Mode On

- Refresh Rate Max 96Hz

- Put all apps in Deep sleep including Outlook except Whatsapp and YTMusic (coz that's what i use for Background and Notifications)

- location & Bluetooth ON only when needed.

- Mobile Data Always On

- AOD off

So by optimizing so much I am expecting atleast 9-10 Hours of SOT per cycle. Currently Monitoring on the new settings. Will post updates here. Just was wondering why "alarmtimer" wake lock is keeping my phone awake.

Anyone updated to OneUI 3.1 and noticed increased stand-by battery drain? I've noticed that battery drain overnight increased from a 5-6% to 15% with the "Phone" app taking the first place in the app list while before was not even on the list.

I also have someone else from the Samsung community I'm in, reporting the same, I'm wondering if the new update could cause this and looking for clues/confirmation

Note 20 Ultra 5G SM-N986B (Exynos)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] elmor0:
For me CameraService_worker (in Android System) wakelock is consistently a massive battery sucker - still trying to figure out how to stop/ minimise it...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
Had my worst on record standby drain last night. Only changes that were made are TMobile May security patch installed, ZFonts installed, and a few apps processes disabled.

I'll have to back track and see what the culprit is. Fortunately most changes are notated by me.

As you can see deep sleep wasn't effected either which is odd and sometimes makes it harder to detect source of drain.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
Lost 4% in 15 hours standby. No power saving mode used. I never use that B$. Still Android system is high but I doubt anything can be done about it currently.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] mircea89fzr:
How did you do it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Limeybastard:
With a lot of testing and tweaking. Things I do use and have enabled. Google location sharing, google calendar , gmail, Fakebook and Messenger apps using dual accounts, Telegram. GSAM and Accubattery pro and Google maps is set to never sleep. All else is in either deep sleep or sleep status. Still get notifications for sleeping apps. But not deep.

Things I have uninstalled and don't use. OK Google , Google quick search box, Chrome, all Bixby voice, Dex for PC, digital wellbeing, find my mobile , Samsung visit in, Samsung cloud not signed in, Samsung backup, infact most the samshite apps I don't use except for Samsung internet which is legendary.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] AndroidPurity:
Really great! With the right settings 8 hours of SOT is possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] ram4ufriends:
Mind sharing that right settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] AndroidPurity:
Sure! Here is what I would recommend to try and get 8 hours SOT (without gaming).....

- Medium Battery Power Saving Mode

- Brightness: 30% Manual

- Haptic Touch Disabled

- Haptic Typing Disabled

- Always On Display enabled for tap to show with adaptive brightness off and manual brightness set to minimum

- Dark Theme

- Viibrations for Calls and Notifications off, only sound or silent

- Phone setup clean with out using app backup when setting up the phone

- make sure on the most recent August Security Patch

With those settings even with adaptive 120hz and FHD+ it should still be possible with 8+ Hours SOT.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] MKchrias:
Snapdragon or exynos?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] ca12bon:
During the 3 days I borrowed the N20U, I was getting around 4hrs 30mins SOT with heavy usage throughout the day, taking pictures, browsing the web/internet/reddit, youtube, a little bit of light gaming (pirates outlaws, night of the moon, windrunner), listening to music, and installing/upgrading apps etc...

I'm going to borrow it for another 3 days to see the best SOT I can get without having to resort to lessening the brightness below 50%, and with 120hz enabled
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] tribalfs:
GSMArena's endurance rating of N20 Ultra is 88h, Note 10+ is 107h, Note 9 is 97. WTF samsung!

Edit: Currently have all these devices and my experience seems proving that relatively these endurance ratings are correct. Kinda regret buying the N20 Utra.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] butchieboy:
Battery use will vary depending on how each person uses their device even turning off so many things and limiting things signal also comes into play. I could limit all the things mentioned and still not get to the Holygrail of 8hrs screen time because I know the signal where I live duck's. So yeah those things help but it really depends on how each of us uses our devices..location..data and all those things factor into it not just turning everything down or off.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] ekerbuddyeker:
Coming back to Samsung from an iphone, once again I have battery anxiety. Device is fantastic but battery life sucks for me. N20U.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] ca12bon:
Agreed. In fact, coming from ANY decent battery phone (such as my P30 Pro) will give battery anxiety. I've just give up on Samsung phone battery life, and have decided to purchase wireless chargers everywhere (all rooms in my house, office, car, etc...) I'll also carry an extra phone or two so I can switch sims when I'm in a jam lol.

My Copper is Beautiful! But knocking off 1 star because they didn't make the white and black with frosted matte backs. I would have likely gotten white if it was frosted matte.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Jake.S:
I like the copper matt backside and such but one thing that I noticed was top frame and bottom frame is more pinkish than copper In some lights. Otherwise there is nothing else to complain about yet, since I don't have green tint issue nor the camera issue as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] inningsdefeat500:
I ordered copper , changed to white after watching a YT video - the White and Metal Camera looked really good

But now with swarm skin and metallic stand compliment this beast

Love the functional setup as well - Dual SIM - helps me at work, with photo and immediate screen write - watch vids, IPTV etc and viper4android + music with AA. I think this is a long term keeper

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] ca12bon:
Here in Korea, there are many issues being reported of mist accumulating under the camera glass, as well as dust getting in through the mic hole (part of the camera hump). Samsung has issued an official statement locally stating that these are "normal" and NOT subject to recalls/replacement/fix. So... yeah...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] cpufrost:
If dust is getting in through the mic hole [sic] then this is most certainly a defect as any device with IP68 rating (certified) must NOT allow this to happen, period.

Imagine if you had a ladder rated for 300 pounds (official stamp rating) and it folded with just 250! That would not be good. Granted a messed up lens isn't going to break your back but it still shouldn't be happening based on advertised specs.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] ca12bon:
Exactly, a lot of people are quite pissed off at Samsung, but for some reason it's one of the best selling phones from Samsung right now. I've only heard of "either" dust OR mist getting in there, but imagine what would happen if you had dust in there and it mixed with H2O lol.... You would literally have a muddy picture!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] AndroidPurity:
Great! The copper with the frosted matte back feels amazing in the hand. Feels almost like entirely metal! Kmocking 1 star off since they have the shiny cheap feeling flat glass on the white and black.

Its good, but wish they would have had a smaller note 20 with about a 6.5" display that had the same exact form factor, same design, same features, with only a smaller battery and smaller display. I would have bought it instead. This phone is a bit too big sometimes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] htchd2sucks:
Big problem, the camera bump. Clearly it's going to be ending up scratching the lens. I purchase a case about that let's see when I will receive it.

That makes the phone not straight, with a big bulge, unstable.

Also, the phone is somehow slippery, I already made it fall like 5 times. Rarely happened in years with the other phone. It seems that the weight is not balance also, probably due to the bulge. I am hoping the case will provide more grip.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] tdodd:
Without a case the bump is a real problem and the phone is too slippery. My 1TB S10+ bit the dust when I was briefly using it without a case and it slipped from my hand. My Note 3 suffered a cracked screen when, once again, it was temporarily without case and fell 50cm from my lap to the ground.

Now I always use a case unless I am feeling particularly stupid. The clear TPU case that came with the phone greatly increases grip, adds some protection at least and somewhat reduces the offensiveness of the camera bump.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] andriy_:
No issues with camera bumb since clear view case, but the corners are too sharp for the jeans pockets...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] bagery77:
I may have to give up the best phone I've ever had because it's simply too heavy. It pains my hand to hold it all day because of course it has replaced my laptop and everything else over the years, even my tv. But it sucks to hold this thing and I'm dreading switching now that I've customized the stuffings out of it over the months.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] clrader:
Too lopsided , too big. Note 10 Plus was a much better feel in my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] blackhawk:
I've done the same as you with the 10+

The SD card serves as the data drive; my favorite way to setup a PC. Lol, I keep my laptop isolated from the internet.

As for managing the bulk...

Try the Zizo Bolt case. Very easy to hold; a lot of different ways to hold it including by it's kick out stand.

I've been using it on my 10+ for over a year. It makes the phone a lot more user friendly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] Medevac1:
It has a real nice in hand feel nestled in its Caseology Parallax case with good, proportioned weight distribution.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] tixooo:
Feels heavy. I use a case very VERY rarely and thr phone is bit heavy. Thr camera bump is bad when you use your phone flat on a table and you use tour pen... Very bad when you use phone pen like that.

Except those thr pgone feels very premium in the hand, no othet phone feels soo good in the hand.i love it, but the above mentioned sometimes make it a hard relationship hahah

I agree my note 8 has better colors and black. And the white looks bright and clean.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] WizP:
Hey guys which version of the phone do you have?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] kradcliffe:
Yes, Note 8 definitely has a brighter more colourful display.

I have the N20 Ultra Exynos version and the display is very underwhelming indeed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] golani4455:
I have the snapdragon version and the display is very disappointing to my eyes.

About to send it back, as I pass by a Samsung shop and the guy ran a test and said the screen is not defective and cannot be calibrated either
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] VICosPhi:
Snapdragon 512GB USA model here, Blacks look black(SuperAMOLED) but gray looks off, white looks dirty yellowish.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] AndroidPurity:
Not great. Its good, but only giving 3 stars because my OnePlus 8 Pro looks much better. Also others have said the contrast and colors are much better on their Note 10+ too. The vivid profile should be much better than it is for a $1300 phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Real Life Review] golani4455:
So I have the phone for two days already and I must say I'm a bit disappointed with the screen calibration.

The white has a grey greenish tint to it and even after playing with the advanced setting in the display mode moving all the way to cool color and taking the green bar all the way down to get a decent white.

In the cost of making everything look washed out.

Either I have a defective panel or it's the built in bule light filter Samsung are adding (even when blue light filter is off)

Any suggestions would be great
