Question AOD and battery impact - Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

Comrades, do you have the AOD on always/ tap/ schedule? How's the battery impact for you?

I have it from 6am to 10pm with approximately a 10% of battery consumed by it

Yeah mine sits at around 6-7% battery use which feels high

The 10+ running on Pie with AOD fully on with autobrightness enabled uses between .6-1.0% per hour. Anything over 1% on this device indicates an unwanted background process(es) are running.

Power management has been an issue for me. It's completely disabled otherwise I get erratic behavior and excessive battery usage.
Google Backup, Framework caused drain with screen off. Google Play Services was constantly polling as was Android Services. Package disabled to former two and firewall blocked the latter two.
I have about 84 packages disabled and quit a few firewall blocked, some permanently, some are toogled as needs like GPlayS.
Karma Firewall is freeware and a good firewall.
Unfortunately unlike in Pie in Q and higher you lose it's valuable logging feature.
Maybe there's a ABD workaround but Q and up are crapware.
The more Android tries to be your big sister the worse it gets. It's gotten really bad...

I just have a bixby routine set up to turn on AOD all the time while charging, but I turned it off other than that. I had the ten second tap set up but always blew past it anyway.

Lol, how do you enable Bixby routines without using any other Bixby apks?
Best I can tell you can't... just tried.
You read the bixby eula? Bah-ha-ha-ha... even the devil has a more user friendly agreement.

Gmail. Rarely Playstore. That's it.
Since it's a stock Android it's needed for factory resets as well.
Google is a cancer... no need for Sammy's tard Bixby though.

I have been experimenting with Samsung email which seems to tie in very well the OS. Battery usage is also comparable to Gmail. I have 3 gsuite and 1 main gmail account syncing..while on Gmail it used 3.2% at the end of the day...Samsung email also closes the day at the same level...the only trade-off is swipe to complete feature in Gmail but that's the small price to pay for the better aesthetics in Samsung email...

I like the factory load gmail format better. Probably makes no difference though; whichever you like more.
Gmail use to be so much better 10 years ago...

I'm using aodNotify to turn on the AOD for a set amount of time after getting a notification, then turn it back off.

OxygenOS' Aggressive Doze & High Power Usage Apps Discussion

With 4.X., OnePlus introduced the features Aggressive Doze, Hibernation and High Power Usage Apps to allow a more radical battery management.
Do you use these features, what are your results?
Personally, I haven't tried them yet. I'm one of those lucky bastards with great battery life, no matter what I do. Still interested in your experiences since these features are now integrated into the ROM.
Screenshots of my battery results and most of my settings that influence battery.
All in all, super happy with it.

I didn't turn off auto-sync on any of those accounts (viber, whatsapp, twitter, xda app, oneplus comunity app, skype, pushbullet, 2 gmail/goggle accounts, reddit app, mangabrowser app).
But during agressive doze, only viber and whatsapp have permission for instant sync/notifications... all others will have to wait for android's "once in a while, pause doze an let everything sync once before going back to doze" thing.
So, when phone is not in doze, everything is auto-syncing.
I have google now on tap, but don't really use it that often. Voice recognition only inside it, not on every screen.

Turn on virus scanner?

I've always turned off or disabled stock or otherwise virus checkers. However, while doing a routine maintenance the Samsung inbuilt app stated I'm going to be given 10% less until I install the virus checkers app.

For ten days it was normal for me , only today it mentioned enabling McShitee virus protector.

Oh I see
On my previous Note8 I just ignore it. It does not affect the device performance. It just a annoying number to force you to activate the antivirus feature. Just ignore it.
Using Nova Launcher, I just created a "Shortcut Activity" 1x1 widget to "Device Maintenance - Battery" to get to battery details, avoiding going through the "Optimisation" sh1t. If you want to optimise then you can but its annoying starting that procedure if it's only battery details you're looking for

10% less of what?

what are they measuring exactly in their mashup and why is AV given 10%? at that rate, it acctualy proves that it's not important.

i sometimes get notifications from apps that im sure i put to sleep. its as if its useless and I'd still have to go through each app and set notification setting on top of sleeping which is just nonsense. and these apps are apps that i never even ran in the first place but keep just in case.(restored form tibu but apo only no data) its as if they raise from the dead for no reason.

Sleep & no sleep apps?
I'm not sure exactly what you're speaking of.
All I know is the apps that I want push notifications/auto update/syncing from do just that & the rest,I have background data turned off at Settings > Apps & fine-tune on a per-app basis.
Just about every mfg has this Device Maintenance B.S. running on top of Android & it's totally unecessary.
1st time Samsung started using it,they partnered up with Cheetah Mobile:
https://www.prnewswire.com/news-rel...mobile-security-and-innovation-300043298.html
That partnership has since ended,but,the cure is just as bad,if not worse,using Qihoo:
https://seekingalpha.com/article/4165136-cheetah-mobile-lost-samsung-relevant-risks
This is why people want control of their devices,S***ware such as this has no place on a phone.
Less root,any package disabler is well worth the price of admission to keep this malware at bay.

I have the entire Device Maintenance section disabled.
I hadn't bothered to so much as to give anything a look into that section,I disabled it as soon as I signed into the Google Play Store & d/l Package Disabler Pro.
I have zero need for Samsung or whoever to manage what Android already does.
The Device Maintenance section is useless,it's just a version of the infamous app Clean Master,which is at minimum,a data mining app,to better spam you with.
Samsung didn't put this crapware on the phone for a better user experience,it's purely a $$$ maker,allowing Qihoo easy access to your "anonymized" data.

You should be OK,but,if some of your apps seem to be not performing as they should,then,by all,means,re-enable Device Maintenance & make the per-app battery settings changes & then disable Device Maintenance once again.
I doubt you'll have to do that (FWIW,I haven't),but,it'd be a logical step to take if something isn't behaving the way it should.

Does anybody actually use Bixby?

I recently Upgraded from a iPhone 7 to a Galaxy Note 9 and I've been wondering.. How many people unironically use Bixby. I've noticed in my 4 month's of owning my phone I've never really used Bixby and she's seemed like more of a nuisance rather than any help. And I find the concept of talking to any kind of virtual assistant kinda cringe. Thoughts?
Also if anybody could recommend a good Non Root Bixby button remapper I would greatly appreciate it!

You know you can actually remap the button now to command any app you want now?

I use Bixby everyday. In the morning I have a command where I simply say good morning and she runs preset tasks for me, including giving me weather alerts(rocky mountains) and read top headlines for the day. Also got one for when I arrive to work, and ones depending on what type of work I'll be doing that day.
Example, when I'm building print server queues, I like to keep my screen Timeout higher, bluetooth with some music, do not disturb on, and some other settings. Instead of me going through and doing all that, I just tell her "Print Queues," and she changes everything.
I do have the one button click remap to a command for Google Assistant but that's for searching for anything weirdly internet related.
I used to hate the idea of Bixby because I was so used to Google, but when I realized all the things I can use her for if I just took the time to learn it, I've been hooked ever since. ??
Sidebar: I even got one for my kid for Netflix whenever she wants to watch Little Einsteins!!! ?
Hi...
I'm using Bixby on daily basis and to be honest from the beginning I was almost hating that"button" but later I start using more and more... Home, in work places...
I don't since it shows me some panels for apps that I don't have them installed that I can't get rid of.
NO! I do not use it all, I have remapped it.

Nope, they even removed 2/3 of the features/commands with bixby 2.0 that were presented in bixby 1.0 and the funny part is that they are still listed in the manual. Useful things like "split screen" command/etc. All the phone control is removed and this was the only real useful part of bixby. Removing the deep integration is leaving the assistant with nothing over google one, just a 1/10 features copy that will fail to understand you 2/3rds of the time.

It's because of the changes to Android? I don't really see them bringing those features back though. I got mad when I first saw that they removed a lot of the device control features.
Conspiracy me thinks, they removed them from Bixby because of the permission changes to Android Pie, and they want people to keep buying their devices, they nuked Bixby as a whole instead of having the Pie folks having less stuff than Oreo? Don't know....conspiracy.?

Dunno why, but the fact is that 2.0 can't do a lot that 1.0 can... instead of improving and integrate it even deeper into the system, they stripped it. Android is open source project... there are some restrictions, but I am pretty sure non effects bixby functionality or atleast samsung can be transparent on why. On some of them bixby says "I don't support that yet, but I am learning constantly new things", so there is that - it recognise the old commands, but refuse to execute them.
It was killing me that it couldn't recognize the spelling of my old lady's name and on my note 8 it had a bad habit of not immediately recognizing my voice but getting triggered by random audio from my TV.
Since then I moved away from bixby and I alternate between Samsung and something else so GA has always been my go to since it's not OEM specific.
Nope my alexa is my main ***** and google is my doorbell chime. Bixby is awful and needs dropping.
I use bixby to make phone calls.... I really don't know what to say to Bixby to take it usable.... the only thing I need is send WhatsApp messages but seems that doesn't work with it.
Bixby is alright. She's definitely smarter than siri, but waaaaay slower.
I don't use Bixby. Might start using it when I get my Bsc in how to use Bixby.
Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk
I used it for a couple of weeks when I first got my Note 9. I was impressed with the complex phone tasks I could trigger with just a few words that I programed for them. Something GA cannot come near to doing. But for other areas where GA shines, that's where Bixby falls short.
After those short weeks I started using bxActions because I found that having extra abilities through remapping of the Bixby and volume buttons was more valuable than using Bixby for me.
bixi command can set an alarm past 24 hours. google assistant cant.. still not stopping me from using bxactions pro and reassigning to assistant and google now.
No issues with bixby here.

Question Why only some of the Google calendar notifications are triggering on S21 Ultra?

Any help, where should I even look to troubleshoot this? Can I turn off all settings that might affect this, to see if that fixes things (before I resort to factory reset)?
My S21 Ultra fails to show some of my Google calendar event notifications, but will show other Google calendar event notifications.
The S21 Ultra should show all of the Google calendar event notifications, because all of the Google Calendar notifications trigger on my previous phone and web browser. It's just the S21 Ultra that seems to miss 3 out of 4 Google Calendar Notifications.
I disabled battery usage optimization for Google calendar, but it's puzzling that the S21 Ultra shows only some of the Calendar Event notifications, but I don't see any pattern, or what would cause some Google calendar event notifications to work and some don't, but only on the S21 Ultra.
Oh, to add, I checked the S21 Ultra's App notifications, to see the list of "Most recent" notifications that have been triggered.
Google Calendar shows up, but lists 14 hours ago as the most recent Google Calendar notification on the S21 Ultra. I've had several Google Calendar events that should have notified me more recently, on as recent as 1 hour ago.
I just added a test Google Calendar event using my web browser, and the browser faithfully notified me about the Google Calendar event.
It's as if the S21 Ultra doesn't even know that it's supposed to trigger a Google Calendar notification? Yet my old phone has no issues triggering all Google Calendar notifications.
The S21 Ultra will also trigger other notifications, sometimes delayed, but I consistently get my text message and email notifications, although email is sometimes delayed.
Try what I suggested here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/delayed-notification-problems-s21-ultra.4243105/
If that doesn't work, I'd suggest going to the Samsung community forums.
Just a guess...
Disable all power management... destroyer of worlds
Which app are you using on your phone?
Samsung Calendar or Google Calendar?
Samsung. Zero trust in Gookill.
I rarely use it but never have issues when I do.
However I'm on a N10+ running Pie.
Regardless power management will cause all kinds of erratic behavior issues.
Try clearing the system cache as well.
A factory reset might clear it but it's likely to return. Find and correct the root cause instead.
Usually if I work an issue over for a few days or weeks I find the solution.
Do Google searches and cross platform with other models and OSs; many Samsung issues are long standing and persistent even after years
This is many times the only option for troubleshooting newer models.

I've used Apples* and I hate them... no one wants a big sister except a gutless wimp
I got a brain... I can work it out myself.
Overpriced memory and no SD cards make them useless lap dogs to me... I hate poodles.
My 10+ looks so much better, looks and behaves exactly how >I< want it too.
Boosting close to a tb of storage, 12 gb of ram, there's not an Apple that can fullfill its mission.
I've used Androids for over 7 years (much of that time on outdated OS versions) and never had to do even one factory reset due malware. So Apple "security" means absolutely nothing to me.

Will it manually sync?
That's all you really need and probably want.
Make sure there's no firewall blocking it
Try clearing all data in Google Play Services (painless).
Try the factory load version.
Reboots are rarely needed on Android but Playstore and occasionally Gmail can be problem brats.
Double check all those damn Gookill settings
If it keeps giving you trouble try deleting then recreating your Google account.

Same account.
On Pixel and S21 Ultra.
I'm testing GMail by sending myself emails and testing GCalendar by creating events online.
The Pixel responds immediately as it should.
The S21 Ultra required me to unlock the screen for it to check. I've tried multiple things now.
Such a shame.
Unfortunately I think that I will root my device and change the ROM
The problem is that I will trigger KNOX and than it will be impossible for me to sell it in the future

You probably missed something in settings. Samsung's offers a lot more customization than Pixel.
Samsung's can be a handful until you sort them out... play with it.
Don't get fixated on one small issue.
Rule #1 to avoid erratic behavior, do not enable any power management
Set the power profile to Optimized or higher and toggle on fast charging. Done.
The infuriating part is it's impossible to tell *WHICH SETTINGS* are causing the missed notifications.
When I followed the instructions to disable all power savings (see link to instructions in earlier posts above), I got my Google Calendar Notifications for that day.
But after rebooting my phone last night, I no longer receive Google Calendar Notifications. I verified my power savings options are all turned off.
I've now turned off my personal ad-blocking firewall to see if that helps. It's not been an issue in years past.
I just want to disable everything as a test case to try to receive Google Calendar Notifications. I simply cannot see any other settings to change, but who knows maybe there is some weird setting that could affect notifications but it's totally non-intuitive?

Question Battery drain .

After I Flashed official Firmware my battery has been draing way to fast. Any Ideas as to why?
Welcome to XDA Enjoy.
Try turning off all power management.
Disable all the cloud crapware ie Google Backup Transport and Samsung's junk.
Turn off Google Firebase.
Disable all Google, app, carrier feedback.
Get rid of FB, WhatsApp etc if present... pure malware.
Disable Google Play Services and Playstore when not needed. They are busy bodies that waste your power mining your data.

Bruh, that's not the solution! The 2 latest updates have a problem with some camera wakelock issue. There are some solutions but for now they are only for rooted phones.

So basically you are trying to help him by saying to turn off everything in he's very, very expensive smartphone and convert it into "phone with decent camera"? Mate it is not a solution, when you have problem with you car you don't turn up the music to drown out engine weird noises ;|

Do what you want. I don't have time for this.
If you think erratic behavior whilst using more battery is a smart phone... it's a lick on you.

I think this is a little too extreme. It's like removing the brakes, body panels, air conditioning and suspension of a Rolls Royce to make it lighter and and more fuel efficient. Not sure you'd get your money's worth with the handicap that remains after disabling everything in that list.
Not trying to pick a fight here, I have nothing personal against you - I'm sure you meant well. I'm just saying that not everyone can live with a severly handicapped smartphone with most of the social and connectivity features disabled.

Which firmware? How did you "flash" it? Are you rooted? Were you on a Custom ROM before? DId you use Smart Switch? How long has it been since you cset up the phone from scratch?
Need some more details.
There's hardly any information contained in your post to try to figure out how to help you...

Power management... destroyer of worlds.
Ever since it's inception it hasn't worked right causing erratic behavior and even increasing battery usage.
Android manages its self just fine without it.
You need to sort out the trouble making apks because the shotgun power management approach doesn't get it.
Gookill apps are some of the worst offenders as well as data miners. I gain 1-2% more battery life by disabling Google play Services; unless I need to view gmail, use Gmaps or Playstore it stays disabled. Google play Services runs ever worse with power management enabled. If you need Google play Services than keep it enabled and take the battery and data hits.
I get about 7-10%@hour battery usage on a estimate 4100 mAh battery on my Note 10+ with very heavy browser and streaming usage. Unfortunately unless you take the time to learn who/what are the troublemakers are, you will be at their mercy... and machines don't feel empathy.
As for social apps consider the security liabilities and implications. They can and do destroy privacy, careers and lives. All can be hacked in a number of ways and are prime targets.
Maybe you're having too much fun to notice the rapidly approaching tarmac.
No FB or WhatsApp crapware running on this phone... I was born at night but not last night.
An old joke sums it up.
Q: Can you keep a secret?
A: I can too.

If you don't have time, we'll not my problem. I just think disabling everything in smartphone is not an fix as mentioned in previous post. But anyway without proper data from OP there is barely anything we can do to help him.

I got time but not for ineptness...it's not a desirable trait or skillset.
The OP needs to ferret it out and optimize the device as they see fit. All I can do is point out know issues and possible workarounds for a stock Android.
There is no quick fix as there are multiple issues.
Disclaimer: what works well for me may puke on you

maybe this is the latest issue from new updated software version, first try to factory data reset before (backup the important data first with smart switch), then if it's feel same, try to disable the most battery consume one like power management and google play (and play service) just for a day to compare with the default setting before.
