is about 3 hours of usage normal on the note 8? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

I got this note 8 the other day off of letgo for a pretty sweet deal for $400. Its in pretty good condition performs well with the normal Samsung lag you get with every samsung phone no matter what people say samsung phones will always lag. Lol but the 3 hours of usage just feels like this should be yesterdays news. Is it supposed to be this way?
Edit: Okay, I feel really dumb. Lol I was only getting 3 around 3 and a half hours of usage with high performance on. Now that I got the mid power saving on it's doing way better. I'm sitting at 60% and my SOT is 2 hours and 15 min. Now I know my battery isnt messed up. Sorry guys. I should have known you can't get great battery life on high performance. I was scared I got a faulty note 8 from Letgo. Lol

I get around 7hrs total usage (3hrs SOT) on around 20hrs average.

I can easily get around a days usage even with some gaming sessions. Sounds like the battery on your device maybe starting to fail and needs replaced. However I would recommend that you backup all the data on your device boot your device into Recovery Mode, wipe the cache partition and perform a hard factory reset.

I really hate having to do that. Everyone I know who goes and gets there battery replaced or whatever repairs done comes back with more problems before. Lol but I guess I could take the risk. It was only $400. Lol oh I cant back up everything. Just I can backup some things. I haven't rooted yet. But maybe I will in the future. I kinda feel like it doesnt need the root.

Unrooted people can get up to 10h of sot or 8-9 days of standby.
Use samsung system app disaber ( or something like that from google play ) . app does what it says, disable system apps without deleting them using administrator privileges. It has button to disable all "bloatware" but after that u wont be able to use animated wallpaper etc. So basicly battery eating stuff.
Disable samsung cloud, samsung pay, secured, samsung health and some other stuff u dont really use. Turn on battery saving mode in order to lower processor's power by 20% and set black colours. Make sure u dont have any trash working in background like fb, mess, wazupp etc. Make sure u delete them since samsung doesnt support killing apps in background completly. Just while u turn off ur screen. U can always use lucky patcher and disable permission to work all the time in background. It will prevent app from turning itself on after force closing it or dozing it. Fb crash after doing that . After all of that, u should get around 9-10h of sot on browser or phone, no games or videos ( pornhub too )
Rooted user? kernel auditur wont do much on battery saving mode. Best battery 4 me was on lightrom. Around 12-13h of sot. Same proccesses like 4 unrooted people but here u can use amplify to kill everything with google play and google play services. On black background ( aka nightmode supported in few browser ) u can get up to 12h of sot with browser or if u care ONLY about standby mode. My device was eatting about 7% of battery per 24h on ironman rom. But nougat, oreo has more stuff and eat more battery. Even if u install it , U wont be able to use it. Samsung lock older roms if they dont run newest kernel so right after first reboot with that rom = binaries lock. If u want ironman rom, some1 might need to update kernel source and make it working on nougat.
My opinnion only. Might not agree with it or no, just dont be **** to me cuz I said something plz

I get 8 hours of SOT, always use high performance mode and have zero lag.
Have you done a hard reset and set up as new?

My advice would be to research the repair specialist before taking your device to them for any repairs. Also ask them if they will provide a guarantee for the repairs performed on your device.

Well I called CellPhone Repair. They told me it would be about 80 bucks to replace the battery which comes with a year warranty. I feel like I should wait for the note 10 to release then buy the note 9.
Edit: I'll just go with it and hope it's the battery and not the phone. Had a bad experience back with the note 1 it would go from 100% to 0% in 2 hours no matter what you did whether the screen was off or not. I bought a new battery for it and it was the same issue. Lol

This just makes me wanna sell the note 4 for $400 and buy the note 9.

How do I use this? Everytime i turn it on and optimize all the apps. Whenever I go back into it they are back off again. If I can figure out how to keep it on It just might actually fix my problem.

I fixed my phone! So I booted into safe mode today just to see if it was gonna have problems like it was. Turns out it was actually not draining nowhere near as bad. So that tells me it was a third party app. I think someone on here told me to check that too sorry I have A.D.D. but thanks to the one who told me. Turns out it was Facebook and messenger. So I replaced them with the lite versions. Normally at around an hour and a half to an hour and 45 min I'm at 50% so this tells me it wasn't the battery after all!

So her is my end results. I doubled my battery life only by replacing Facebook and messenger with the lite versions. Now I will not be buying the note 9 in September. Lol

Battery Lifetime

Good Morning folks,
as some of you are already proud owners of a LG2x, I would like to know how the battery lifetime really is. Are you guys satisfied? How intensive are you using your device?
It would be nice, if you can describe what you are running, like wifi, gps and so on... pretty sure you know what to write to give me and the others a clear view on the battery lifetime ;-)
cheers,
Manuel
Yesterday I got the phone.
On very very very hard use it took me about 7 hours for the phone to be 0%. That is kinda good in my eyes.
Today I'm doing normal use, to see how the battery goes.
I withnised 100% tot around 60% went kinda fast, but from 60% till 0% took a while
So stay tuned for the today test.
I got the phone the day before yesterday started charging it. Then in the afternoon it was fully charged and i started to play around with it. It did good but then today i had it fully charged overnight and now - at around 15:00 it dropped below 15%! I hadn't been using it for other than a few calls, a few texts and less than 10 minutes fooling around.
Something is up - i don't know what, but the battery info shows most battery usage was drained due to cell standby and mobile standby...
I don't know what really caused this Other than that i love this phone, i just hope i find the reason for this insane drain soon - i tried rebooting and even installed advanced task killer

Hello, I cant really help much on the battery issue other than to say give it a few more cycles before getting too upset.
The last new battery I had in my iPhone took a week to really settle down.
I would uninstall advanced task killer as I believe it has issues with froyo and is not really needed.
Ok thanks - i think i will then
had the phone 2 days now, and feel like the battery drains fairly fast, had a BB before this and im not used to having to charge everyday. Will se how it goes the next couple of days.
Ok, it seems a lot of people already got their device. Is there someone who could try to unload (by heavy use or something else) and reload the battery again and again to get a feeling of the behavior after some loads?
Thanks!
Update: I have an update from a German guy for you who claims to found out that the service "nvrm_daemon" is the one which consumes the most power. Anyone an idea what it is? The "nv" in the name sounds like nvidia...

nvrm has something to do with the NVIDIA kernel module.

Yes, it seems related to Tegra.
I googled and found this little quote about the offending service on a site dealing with the Toshiba AC100 that also use the Tegra 2 chipset:
it makes suspend, sound and cpu frequency scaling work

Isnt it coz that dual core isnt supported very well in 2.2?

hey xmoo, how come your always one of the first having such nice devices? if i remember right you had the hd2 pretty fast as well back in okt. 2009.

48 hours.
Way better than the Nexus One. Not much more I can say.
Most importantly, not much more I will say on battery. It's too subjective and circumstance specific.

I should be clear - I do not mean +48 hours battery, I mean I have used the phone for only 48 hours... This includes charging.
But still, much better than my Nexus One. At the same time with the same apps and usage I have 40% and on my Nexus I would have 15%.
We all still need some days (~1 week) for the battery to settle.

but lg said three days ago the 2x will be available end of next week. so now its up to amazon and its time to say goodbye to htc ... im really curious about the lg 2x
@xmoo thanks for your impressions of battery life. i was a little afraid of power consumption because of the dual core but that sounds fair

Ok i'm doing a real-life test atm after a few charging cycles.
What did I do/ have I on?
Have I on: Everything (gps, data, wifi (if possible),...)
What did I do: Some gaming, few youtube movies, few short calls, watching mails, some internet browsing, send a few texts.
I'm using the app : Juicedefender in combination with ultimatejuice (this prolonged my battery 2.14x!!!
How long? : Atm i'm using my cell (from full charge) for 44 hours and I still have 39% left! This means that i could get it to run for 3 days on 1 charge!
Note: this is after doing a few cycles, out-of-the-box use gets you the day around!

[Q] Insanely fast battery drain

Hello,
My mom uses a samsung galaxy ace and the battery life is super bad.
When she takes her phone to work around 07:00 its empty at around 13:00. All she does on work with her phone is using whatsapp. When shes at home she plays fruit ninja, lets say her battery is about 70% at that time. She plays for about 20 minutes and when she stops playing its on 17%. When I charge the phone after the game it goes from 17 to 54% in like 5 minutes, how the hell is this possible? Searched google and XDA but couldnt find anyone having the same problem...
We already replaced the battery for a new one, didnt solve anything and i also flashed a new stock rom for her, didnt help either
Hope someone can help me!
Thx !
you run lots of apps which runs in background ? or you have many widgets? It might one of the reasons

Its normal with our ace that is goes straight up to 50-60% in 5 mins and after disconnecting comes straight down...
And for battery drain..whatsapp and fruit ninja uses too much of battery in stock roms...flash a battery friendly rom and ur complaint will b gone..
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium. Press thanxx if i helped in ANY way..
Flash Stocklite or Xperiatized ROM. Both are great + battery life is better
I'll go for StockLite v6 definitely .. You'll get awesome battery plus you'll also get a pretty good performance ..
Alright! Will try to flash a custom rom when i get home
Thanks for the replys!

Yeah, the battery meter on the Ace is faulty. And this battery isn't meant to be used constantly otherwise you'll get a huge drain. You can't treat a mid range like a high end phone. Its only 1350mAh, to get the usage you need, you'll probably need around 2100mAh like the S3. There's no such battery for the Ace so you can't.
If she turns off 3G and uses Edge, it'll double the battery. Its the same thing, just connection is slower. Now if she takes gaming out of the equation, she'll get around 7+ hrs of battery. Realize I calculated that without any widgets that require background processes, no live wallpapers, and no other things besides the main app you're using.
Also try to flash a new rom with good battery(can only be done if phone I'd rooted though!) And try Battery calibration (after flashing a new rom)
Sent from Galaxy Ace!
i have the same issue
i guess u need to replace ur battery
because i tried to stop all the apps and the services and Wifi and GPS and BT , almost everything
and its still draining .
You need to replace your battery with a new battery. Your current battery is nearly-dying. Your phone and ROM are both ok! Don't worry about it.
Just replace the old battery with a good quality new one and you will be good for another few months.

Screen on time leaderboard - post your longest SOT

Hi all,
As the title suggests, please post your screen shots of your max SOT and I'll update the leaderboard with the top 10.
I'll post my max to set it off, bare in mind please, this is only for normal usage not for leaving your phone plugged in all day with reading mode on, this is only for real world usage.
Averages are about 8 hours on the OnePlus 5 but some average a lot higher, myself I normally get between 8-10 hours however on occasion (usually when on the internet researching ) I'll crank up some crazy SOT, my highest being what I'll post below.
***NOTE***
To qualify, post your battery meter showing depletion and a long screen grab of your stats from the stock battery monitor, also post your ROM and version as well as your kernel and version, as i'll show below.
No cheating.
If you want to drop your BBS stat file then please feel free although it's not needed to register your SOT score. Personally i don't give two hoots about this, it's complete overkill so don't feel obliged to record it.

Well sir, that is stupidly good.
Well played.
Have to say I've got the p20 pro with a 4,000Mah battery, can't come close to the 1+5.
That being said, I completely believe you but without proper proof it's a little hollow..
I'll put you up for now but will need a repeat.
What ROM, kernel??
How do you guys manage to get such high SOT? Talking specifically to @dladz, have you selected anything in particular while installing xXx like those features in AROMA to enhance battery?

No not really, i've not got this phone anymore i've just sold it but the settings are pretty much stock.
Turn off gestures, live widgets.
i only have one page on the pixel launcher.
No apps with ads in them, 1 gmail account nothing else, no facebook, no viber / skype / work email / snap chat
I only use whatsapp and twitter now and again.
4G, Wifi, location i always leave on.
No google photos, no automatic updates, no bloat unless what i need.
Auto brightness on, Stock kernel, No xposed, Black theme.
No antivirus, no back up facility, tweaked google to not collect so much data, deny most apps location unless required.
No overclocks or underclocks, no CPU / GPU governor client.
basically just lighten the load as much as possible, bare in mind that i don't always get 14 hours, i mean that's insane, i was doing a lot of reading online that day and it just clocked up the hours, i was amazed when it went past 10 hours with around 20-30% left.

What are you using now? I bought a pixel 2 xl and had to return it to the original seller. The pixel 2 xl software is amazing but the hardware is trash. Build quality isnt worth that premium price everyone paid for when it first released.

It's in my signature, the P20 Pro, it's a pretty special device tbh.
Camera, battery, screen, performance is all amazing.
The only problem is the development lol it's a little light on ROMs, although the stock image once you're rooted is actually very good, I can change any aspect of the ROM and I'm completely fine with it
The only problem I've got is with the variants (models) available in the world, there's so many of them and lastly Huawei have decided to stop allowing bootloader unlocking which for many is a deal breaker, it hasn't happened yet but it will in the coming weeks
As I've already unlocked mine its ok.
My colleague in work has the pixel 2 which he loves, camera is excellent, plus I'm guessing the development scene is pretty strong, I'm not a fan of their design though.

Yep, it's not bad, just sold my 1+5 on Swappa for $340, tbh it's in great condition it's been my favourite phone up til now by some way, the only thing that ever bugged me was the lack of OIS which when you go back to a phone that has it like the p20 pro and even my previous device (HTC 10) you realise how important it really is.
Beyond that the OnePlus 5 is for me still their best device, reason being is the battery Vs screen size /Res, the 5T had a higher resolution and larger, the 6 I think even higher and even larger, yet the battery is the same so the SOT's you're seeing here just won't be possible, not even close.
I know the 845 is meant to be even more efficient but it's not going to be enough to compete here, unfortunately.

Ah glad you found something you like. As much as I like my OnePlus 5 I feel like I need an upgrade as well. It's a solid phone in my honest opinion. I'm looking into the V30! I've heard a lot of positive input about it (except for the FFC). I don't take selfies much so that might not be deal break for me.

I've never had an LG phone, but i've seen my colleagues disappointment after the novelty of the camera wore off, it's the UI it's just not great tbh.
But it's up to you man
Oh well, compared to you guys 11 hours I didn't get all that high but still very impressed as i did use Google Maps navigation for quite a while and YouTube for 5 hours.. It managed 7 hours and 58 minutes with 4% left. Could easily go 8h+.

Question Battery Life, expectations?

Hi all,
As you know, I got this device a couple of weeks ago as a upgrade (birthday pressie).... and on the whole, I am might impressed with it. Compared to previous phones, this is awesome....
However, one odd thing I am experiencing... is battery life? Whilst I read reports of this device and the other I was looking at, Note 10 5G. Both had 5000mah batteries, and reviews RAVED about how good battery life is in them. Some even saying it can be used as a Battery Bank to charge other peoples phone.
However in actual use of the phone, I'm afraid to use it... for merely tapping a few icons, browsing web and running/opening camera... I literally am watching the percentages drain... I thought this thing would be rock solid, and can generally browse/mess around and the battery will slowly decrease...?
Don't get me wrong, if I don't touch it and leave it in standby it will claim to last at least a couple of days... or that said, running it as SatNav and not touching the screen on a 30min drive, it didn't drain the battery at all and stayed at 100% (which did surprise me).
But to me, what appears as light use, tapping icons and surfing around see's it draining fairly quickly. I dread to think if I was playing a high end game, it will prolly be gone in 5 mins.... Good job I don't do games... lol
Cheers, Lister
Morning Lister .. ya got your paddling pool ready for tomorrow lol
Mines been quite doing the same playing with gcam ( I haven't uploaded the XML yet , reming me to do it later ).
I have noticed the battery draining quicker when the screens set to 90mhz , as I've read elsewhere that seems quite normal as the phone has to refresh the screen faster than it would on 60 . Signal strength can be detrimental too , a bad signal means the phone tries harder to pull it in and uses more battery in the process .
When I've finally got everything set up I'll see how long I can get on a charge , still got to copy me 3 stooges collection on to it , all 65gb of it

I think this phone has 90hz refresh rate, not 120mhz. Maybe u wrote it by mistake.
Hi The Mero,
Oh don't, I am not a sun lover at the best of times and these last few days/week's been killing me... lol.
I am, as we speak, practicing my Snow Dance !!! ;-) LOL
Yeah, seems odd that a camera can zap that much battery. I get it has to do a couple of things, active viewfinder, take the pic and then use processing power to render the output. But after reading all the rave reviews, this battery will last you into the next pandemic and all that... It to me, just seems to drain a little too quickly for my liking. I was expecting to get some fun time, without watching the battery drain down...
I think this screen can only go to 90mhz, but that said... I even have my set to the standard 60mhz. I not really played around with it, but it seems quick enough for me at 60mhz and every bit of battery helps. Like being in a heatwave and keeping ya aircon off, whilst sitting at the traffic lights with windows open... Gotta save that fuel/battery... ;-) lol
I did look at battery drain, and Mobile Standby did seem high, which is odd as its never been an issue with my older phones in same location. I'll keep an eye on that though, cheers....

Hi The Mero,
I just noticed this thread pop up, which is similar thing... It seems a few are getting the high Cell Standby for no reason at all... Although they appear to be on the updated version...??
"Cell Standby" battery drain on latest MIUI Global 13.0.12?
Hi, everyone. I bought a Redmi Note 11 Global a few days back and while setting it up, I was amazed at the battery life. It was at 56% when I opened it up, and throughout the entire setup process and after around 5 or 6 hours of screen on time, I...
forum.xda-developers.com
That said, I do have Calls over WiFi enabled, as it's the first time i've owned a phone that supports and is now available on my plan (PAYG lol). So I enabled it, just to try it out... lol
But apparently, this can be a zapper and cause the Cell Standby issue. Might try disabling it, and see if Battery Life improves....
Cheers, Lister
I'm on PAYG too , I turn off internet calling ( volte ) I had an issue on the X3 where you could hear the other person but they couldn't hear you . Some said it was a flaky mic and some said volte ( another name for it ) . Anyways I knocked it off and calls were fine after that . So if you start getting the same issue give that a try . Plus battery issues could be down to the CPU not behaving . Russian forum had some with the CPU stuck at full throttle while others were stuck at lowest speed . All using different miui versions or custom ROMs , this is getting worse every time we read about it
This phone is in need of a custom kernel. I think the default CPU/GPU governor is not properly optimised. We don't want the CPU to fire up all its cores and constantly hit 2.4Ghz while playing candy crush.
Also, MIUI 13 is so restrictive and bland. We are losing controls and features with each new update.
This amazing hardware needs a divorce from its retarded software.
some interesting reading .. miui updates
MIUI 13 Beta MI-V13.0.2 for Redmi Note 11 has been suspended due to a Google Play Server error

In my case, the amazing hardware broke up with its retarded software and is currently married to this chick named Pixel Experience. The experience is way way smooth and is something we and the hardware totally deserves. Though yes we really need a custom kernel, I don't know why Xiaomi hasn't released kernel sources for this device until now

Same here, unlocked bootloader and currently on Evolution X. Though all google apps and services are debloated so basically vanilla. I get 10 hrs screen on time with about 40 hrs standby
Hi All,
The battery on this device is really really shocking.... as in shockingly bad !!!
When I read about 5000mah ( basically double anything I've had prior ) and how good the reviews for battery life were on these devices. I had high hopes, I thought Id be able to tap away, causally wasting hours watching pointless YouTube and whatnot...
However here I am, re-arranging icons.... Configuring Applications (TruePhone and it's GAZZILION options), and watching the percentages just drop off, one by one by one.... I bet if I put a chocolate egg outside in this heatwave, it will melt at a slower rate than the battery drains...
Admittedly, I do have a few Apps on it... but no more than when I look at other peoples phones and it's not like I am putting heavy/tasking apps on. No gaming apps or anything like that... And to watch it go from 100 to 70 in what I think is a short time, is somewhat depressing...
I'll have to charge the ole 5000mah phone up and carry a couple 20,000mah at this rate... lol.
I've even de-bloated some of the system Apps in background... I may treat it to another wipe/reset and test it with barely any load and see what happens...
Cheers, Lister

I've had that issue on my Note 5 as well, and apparently I was not alone and it was in fact an issue that was introduced with Android 10. Turning off VoLTE did work for me, but that of course entailed a significantly worse call quality. I ended up switching to a different carrier and the problem went away. Sucks to see that the issue can still arise on current handsets.
I had a note 5 too , I can't remember if it did it or not, but I switched to a Moto g7 power and it did it on there too . I think your right about the network. I'm on 3 in the UK and never thought of the network being at fault , cheers for that

Because they don't want to and there's not really anything people can do about it.

I know that they legally have to. But which user will sue them if they don't is what I'm saying.

General Oos 13

Hi there 10 pro users
I don't know if you all noticed but i started with oos 13 a couple weeks ago without root i had it on QHD 120hz it was pretty good to use battery latest very long lasting and always 8 hours sot so that was pretty good to have until i started to root it again wanted to check out somethings but then the horror started couldn't reach no more the 8 hours sot it was reduced to 4 hours even heavy drains sometimes drops in Hz to 1 found out that it is found in there kernel source too they are trying to prevent root or this device needs a hell of a kernel dev who can fix all this or enjoy the device how you like and how you want too use it. And to be honest my opinion don't root it you will have more fun with your device since this is dead in development
I have posted some pictures below the one with 8 hours sot was before root the rest of the pictures after root
Hi, but there is a difference...
Your screen time is not the same, so the comparison is not valid.
I'm rooted and have not noticed a drain on the battery... I have heavily debloated though.
My apps list in battery doesn't show anything anymore but this is one charge.
I didn't just leave it with the screen on either lol. But have been reading a lot on chrome.

That's oos 12 and seems that you don't even use the device this is not your daily driver

Are you sure the one of 8 hours was the first time I had oos 13 installed even wiped it set it up with something's a few apps what ik using but after I wanted it too root found out that they want too prevent it so my CPU where locked and this only happens in oos 13 but in oos 12 I didn't had that much problems with root but still it's a heavy drainer device

No idea what you're talking about lad

Well you switched back so you know what I'm talking about but what did you debloated and what did you use to downgrade ?
But for now my battery is like this I have franco kernel manager running without root and setup with adb commands I have a drain right now of 0.90 but it doesn't seems to add up to my first 8 hours sot

It's subjective based on user, location, network, apps etc..
I've already advised in other threads what I've done in detail.
Rolling back AFAIK there is only one way and that's the rollback package found in the beta thread.
Debloat from the debloat thread.
I average 10 hours at least and I use my phone all day long 7am to midnight most days.

Same. I regularly only have to fully charge this device once a day. It'll last me easily from morning to night on a full charge with moderate use throughout the day. With added streaming / gaming on a lunch break, if I don't sometimes I can even get away with two work days (around 1.5 days) on a single charge.
The battery is definitely good, just need to use your system wisely, like with most tech. The fact that it charges to full in about 25 minutes is just gravy.

Yea mines about 2 days ish.. if I'm on citra or an emulator then sure it'll be a lot less but gaming on lunch will still see me through the day.
Charging is insane on this phone, not 100% if it's good for the battery or not.
Thermals for me were higher on oos13 hence why I switched back, I do prefer the look and feel of 13 but it annoyed me to have extra heat during gaming etc.
Haven't tested C.21 yet, but have heard good things.
Hi, I don't agree with the fact that root is draining battery. I am on oos13 since the first day of stable build and now on C21, rooted with xposed and 4 modules running and didn't noticied any différence with and without root. Maybe loosing a bit with xposed but I still managed to get 11h of sot (wifi and a lot of reading) and average 6h on mobile data. Also the phone is debloated.
@dladz i used to charge my phone with old 20w op3 block (no need of full speed, and trying to save battery life) but the few times I used the 80w I didnt noticied more heat on C21 than on oos12. But I don't use m'y phone while charging and always put it in airplane mode. If you want I can try some scénarios while charging and send you températures to compare

Just run a heavy emulator like Aetherx2 running lets say Tekken Tag Tournament..
I noticed C20 throttle but not A17.
I haven't noticed c,21 as I've never installed it... Fair bit of work to get back to how I like my phone.... Plus a few mods that don't work on 13 yet

Ok i will try it. By throtteling you are just looking if the phone start lagging or testing with an app like '' cpu throtteling test ''?
I know you were talking of c20, I was saying that just for you to have some data/feedback of c21 si you don't have to try it yourself, if I can help. But yes if some of your mods don't work on 13 I understand why you are staying with 12

Ah cheers man.. You'd don't have to do that, but I appreciate it..
Then again it'd be nice for you to get Aetherx2 running.. Reckon you'll like it..
Throttling as in the device getting hot then cycling down the CPU to save it from overheating.
I noticed the dips in performance plus the heat was substantially higher on 13 than 12 just from memory.
Maybe some other heavy games could emulate this test too
