Does This Battery Life Look Bad? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

So, I recently downloaded Android Oreo.
I did a factory reset and took screenshots of my battery activity today. I only had 2.5 hours of screen time (I keep my brightness at about 15% - 20%) and I barely used my phone while in my office.
I would like to keep Android System from running in the background, but when I turn it off, I find it back on following a phone restart...?
I have also found that none of my cache cleaners work anymore. Why is that?
Does this battery life look bad? I used to get better battery life.

2.5 hours with 50% left. Seems average.

I agree, about average. I haven't ran Oreo much, not more than a couple of days at a time & I don't have any screenshots but for me Oreo is worse in performance. Well statistically, with real world use I can't tell much of a difference.
So far I still like Nougat. I know I'm stating the obvious but everyone's usage & SOT will be different so some may say your stats are good, others may say not so good.
This is a typical weekday for me on Nougat. But I'm running a custom kernel & custom rom, no bloat & not a huge amount of apps installed. Display brightness 40% on average, display always set to max res. I First pair is today.
Now you got me curious, I should go back to Oreo & test. EDIT: Ok, I'm going back to Oreo right after this edit. I'll see how it does tomorrow.

Since Oreo update, I chose my word specifically , instead of upgrade. It appears standby idle battery is slightly improved.

Well, using only samsung internet, of course you will get 6h hours sot .

Don't play games nor do I watch videos on a 6.3" screen. Guess I'm the minority.
Either way here's a screenshot of my Note 8 on Nougat with ****ebook app , didn't change much.

Deleted. Was attempting to attach a screenshot of my battery usage with nougat and FB app. Still showed 8 plus hours SOT.

So here's a typical weekday stat for me from today on Oreo. Took a hit in battery performance. But that's only 1 day of testing so not a fair comparison to my Nougat stat. Although I'm not a benchmark freak, benchmark results are pretty much the same if I use the appropiate kernel versions from the same dev.
Still not a fan of O although there are a few cool features, going back to N until all the compatibilites get worked out (getting closer though).

For me battery has gotten way worse. My phone goes from full to 90% in half hour of really light use

People will usually say, so I'll say it before, a clean install with a major change like N to O is usually recommended and I agree as most of the time it can take care of issues like this. But a clean install did not make a difference for me. Glad to know I'm not the only one experiencing this.

Are the auto cache cleaning apps the culprit of bad battery drain/battery life?

Ah, that don't do me any good, I'm not the type to upgrade every year, not much of an upgrade anyway or worth it IMO. I'll wait for the Note 10, I think very good things will come for number 10. Hopefully a new custom kernel will fix it but until then, back to Nougat for me.

It seems to me since upgrading to O. My battery life seems poor. Dont know what they changed. O performs better on the pixel 2. Maybe I'm missing something. Who really knows.

Don't have issues with batt life. But I'm seriously considering reverting back to nougat on my TMO device. Just need to research the process properly before doing it.

Wow! I was eagerly expecting the oreo OTA, I even put a thread about oreo OTA experiences/opinions, but its a huge mixed bag, some say oreo improves fluency, other that have screen tint, batt drain, that no significant apparent changes, others that is snappier, etc, I have not rooted or pushed oreo firms, as I want to be very careful, because my 950F performs really very, very good, I am at a loss as of what to do when the OTA pops in my device, I am even considering to block it via bk

Extremely bad battery life

I've been experiencing very bad battery life lately. Currently using PAC, I could lose 10% of battery in under 20 minutes of normal web browsing with the brightness set all the way to low. I'm underclocked and undervolted, battery health is good. I don't really know what's causing my media server thing to use so much battery but it's definitely chewing up more juice than normal. How am I supposed to fix this?
Stop media scanning.
On the Store there is an app called Rescan Media Root.
Media server drain ia usually caused by the sd scanning proccess, sometimes a bad file can cause it to go nuts and keeps the proccess alive, thus killing your battery.
Give it a go.

I will also try this, my phone is only two days old and the battery life on this device is absolutely horrible compared to my Samsung Galaxy Note 2, I will check back with you folks and let you know the results
It is horrible compared to a Note 2, even if you didn't have that bug.
Plus, CM, AOSP, and PAC, all of them don't have that great of a battery life compared to stock.
Say you can get a solid 5+ hours out of a stock rom with few tweaks, whereas on those buolds mentioned you could get 4h, with not so great idling times.

I'm trying it our now, report back in a day or so. This phone is bound to have worse battery life than the Note 2, it has 2 more cores, 2x more pixels, LCD screen, smaller battery, if you want great battery life go back to the Note or get a battery case. I didn't know that stock gives me more battery, maybe I should go back :/

Sony stock is very good rom to me. I will go to custom rom only if sony discontinued the updates, or sony makes the rom while drunk ( too much bugs, unstable... )
And, don't undervolt too much, -100mV is ok,
there's some test out there (not APQ8064), when undervolt too much, the processor will messed up the calculation, and re-calculate the process, wasting more battery and time. [this is applied to my old xperia arc]
If on Intel X86, I never get any issues/drawbacks from undervolting.
Sorry if I'm wrong, and sorry for my bad english.

i never said i had a custom rom, i went to install it, and it said i had to be rooted, and I'm not rooting my phone yet, thats why I asked if something similar was available for non rooted users.
Of course I'm not saying it's gonna get magically better but you should really give it more of a chance than two days a couple full charge cycles will help some,plus being new your prob setting up alot etc

thats definitely true, I know these batteries aren't supposed to have "memory" but should I do the full charge and drain with them?
I guess I'm under the assumption of it being newer and better technology then my Galaxy Note 2 I was coming from, I was expecting it to be right off the bat better.
thanks

Bad battery? So this type not worthed to buy?
Hey, the "rescan media server" app fixes the battery drain temporarily. How do I find out and delete the file that is causing my media scanner to keep running? I switched over to another ROM a few hours ago and media scanner is still taking a big chunk of my battery until I kill it. Do I need to reformat my card? Run anti virus?
Try this app. It is an android issue not an Sony issues. The mediaserver running all the time. This app will help. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascannerroot

My battery life got really bad with 4.4.2

I've been running for about 10 hours now, usually my battery life is around 60-70% at this point, but I installed 4.4.2 yesterday.
I'm sitting at 31% with only 40 minutes of screen on time...
Hopefully we get a 4.4.3 soon to fix this.

Yep seems like it.
same here, after updating to 4.2.1 and even 4.2.2 my battery life is worse. I used to be able to go 2 days with out charging and now my battery is down to 68% with only 43% on screen time and 6 hours off charger and nothing has changed at all with my apps. and my device DOES go into deep sleep properly. I have no idea what the hell is draining battery, man stock 4.4 was freaking awesome on battery life for me
Agreed. Battery seems to drain quicker on 4.4.2 then 4.4.1.

Chaos kernel will resolve your battery issues.
I'm really not seeing much of a negitive difference; I'm at 10h 33m and have 47% with my normal use. Emails, 43 minutes chatting, surfing all through the day and sms.
Nothing wrong here. Seems even better for me

Part of it might be the increased vibration strength and speaker volume. More power is being used for every day tasks such as using buttons.
I've been noticing higher battery numbers for the Google keyboard since the update.
I've killed Google Now as it was destroying my battery after the 4.4.2 update... screen is still the biggest killer of my battery though...
I went back to Nova Launcher immediately... no constantly active Google Now listening.
I've got 52% at 13h 23min on battery.
That's the *only* thing I've done after updating to the 4.4.2 OTA. No root, no mods.
Edit: Oh yeah, and I've got Lux installed for brightness control. Screen's a little dimmer than usual overall because holy COW I don't need it so bright all the time. Screen is still the biggest battery eater.

I noticed more battery drain immediately after installing the first update and it's the same on the most recent one, 4.4 had incredible battery life.
Noticed same thing here. Same usage pattern and same apps as with 4.4 but battery life almost exactly 1/2 what it was. I'm hoping this will improve after a couple of charging cycles.

Oneplus announced release of OOS 3.1.4 fixing ram and display issues

Looks like it is being released to reviewers first then to us. I'm excited to see what other tweaks are included and how it performs after that update. Although my screen seems perfect and I've changed my ram limit to use all 6gb, it will be interesting to see how the world reacts.
http://www.neowin.net/news/oneplus-...xed-in-upcoming-update-reviewers-get-it-first
Maybe a reviewer could give us that update file even sooner ?
I hope that both are only options in developer section. I have no interest in a RAM fix right now.

Nobody has demonstrated that. I'm willing to bet that it conserves battery life because fetching an app from RAM is far more efficient than having to reload apps all the time.
Yesterday, with the ram fix, I got over 5h SOT with heavy multitasking. If that's the battery being impacted, then I'll take it :good:

I don't know. If it doesn't have any impact on battery life and snappiness, then I would probably welcome it. However, I barely use more than 6 different apps on a single day, so I wouldn't even see a difference.

Don't worry, no offence taken. A regular day would look like this:
phone, hangouts, chrome, inbox, whatsapp, camera, spotify - sorry, that's already 7, but I don't use the camera nor spotify (only in the gym) everyday. Most used apps are hangouts, chrome and inbox. I'm a pretty boring user but use my phone a lot.

Ah, I can see why the 6gb wouldn't be that important.
Do know that chrome uses a lot of ram! Every tab is an app. So 7 tabs is 7 apps
I've never been able to max out 3GBs of RAM much less 4 even with a 64bit Android OS. OnePlus added 6GB of RAM and USB C solely for the bragging rights, which explains why neither are implemented properly. I would have bought the OP3 if it didn't have either of them.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk
I'm all for updates, and glad they're pushing them out quickly. Honestly though I'm perfectly content with the current version. I think the screen looks great, I don't notice any over saturation. And while I guess putting more of the RAM to use would be a welcome thing, I have yet to experience any kind of slowdown at all. I guess I'm kind of like Derdjango in that I use my phone all the time, but only a select few apps. Maybe closer to 10-12 depending on the day though.
Battery should be more efficient with multitasking, and a camera upgrade is badly needed as sometimes camera got buggy and stucks while clicking the pics.

I can see why people are calling USB C and 6 gb ram as a gimmick but if it's giving me a future proof phone, I will take it. 2 years back 2 gb ram was more than enough and today 3 gb is considered as a baseline. With 6 gb ram at least I will have options to keep this phone for few years even if it fails to manage RAM properly. We all came to XDA to learn how to tweak with our devices after all and it would be better to respect OP's decision of how to manage their OS and take the tinkering in our own hands.

Here is a screenshot where you can see only 1Gb unused out of 6Gb. 5Gb used for system, apps and cache. There are a lot of apps opened/cached (nothing crazy). Only 1 game in memory (candycrush).
The other screenshot shows battery life under this load. I must say, I'm quite surprised.
I think many people complain because they were hoping that less memory would've made phone cheaper, but I doubt that there would be much difference in price. I like 6Gb for the future proof as mentioned earlier. It can be used right now with build.prop fix or upcoming OTA. I hope that Google builds system that can even better utilize it in the future.

B370 First Impressions

I have only been using it around 12 hours but it seems a lot snappier than stock MM and a hell of a lot better than the last round of beta's.
Memory management seems vastly improved.
Few little things are annoying me like sharp noises when making a call, black notification drawer.
Also my banking app (Barclays) doesn't work.
However so far there aren't any problems that will stop me from using this as a daily driver.
I can't comment on battery life yet as I only took my phone off charge a few hours ago.
What does everyone else think?
I think that's worth waiting I'm working on B336 since January (beta project) and I'm happy with battery, maybe performance could be a bit better. But if B370 is as good as you say, than all grand.
I guess there ia no app drawer and private space?

Private space and app twin are not there, same as USB OTG. Apart from that, it's working great,stable, fast, smooth, it's prettier than MM. I feel that battery life is worse than on MM - for now I get something like hour less screen on time than on MM (5 and a half vs 6 and a half hours). But, it's too early to tell - I found out only today that WiFi scanning was turned on, although I have turned it of while on MM. Also, seems like RAM management is even more aggressive on Nougat, and that's a bad thing for multitasking. There's additional bloat - Avast antivirus is included. I don't need f_cking antivirus on my phone.
Phone i much faster and fluid , remote app for telefunken tv does not work , cannot find tv , and no one app for locking the screen works , it locks the screen but when you try to unlock from fingerprint , asks for pin , otherwise everything is fast , great and beautiful....
I decided to update to B370..for now everything is smooth,but... One thing from MM is still here.

I have only received 5hrs 30 screen on time with moderate wifi browsing.
Is this OTA update only for L31?

I've gotten 6 hours with 25% still left i even wrote it down to see how it did, could have gone 7 hours easily and that's constantly using the phone on 60% brightness unlocked the whole time watching videos even some web browsing (i have too much time on my hands.)

Screen on time is not the problem. Standby Drain is the problem. If u dont use it much and leave it idle it drains without any reason.

No drain here in standby at B370. Everything working well. For example, going to sleep with 60%, after 8 hrs geting up with 58% left. Bluetooth works fine, Camera and Video focus working. No crashes or reboots. I dont know why a lot oft people having these Problems. Before i upgrade from MM, i maked sure that enough free space (5 GB) is available. After Upgrade i did a full Factory Reset.

Possibly the BEST Screen On Time ever?

I've own the note 9 since it's release, and I've heard that the phones need to "calibrate" themselves to achieve their best battery life, so long story short, today I got this INSANE SOT
Pretty much an hour of SOT per every 10% of battery.
NO battery saving mode.
My screen is at WQHD
AOD off (I don't really need it)
Mostly WIFI
I'm using Swift Installer (all black with accents)
IMO I think this battery is an absolute beast. What do you guys thinks?
And yes, this was on a single charge. From 100% down to 4%
Did you check if anyone got better

Not a record but still impressive..I've seen 13+ hours even on Note 8 lol. You can game SOT like crazy if you really want to

Actually I did, the best one I saw was 9:43 or something, not higher.

Yeah I know, the thing that surprised me was that I didn't even noticed until I opened the battery stats and checked, I watched a LOT of YouTube and even played some TWAU

There was this random one from Reddit. Of course, staring at Reddit for as long as this person did probably helped.

Yes my friend.
You guys don't have electricity in your countries? ?

That is pretty impressive. In fact it is on par with that of the Huawei Mate 10's battery life.
