a good service one, may let us try for one time, won't straight away reject
btw, i am still failed to try for most of the mst machine
damn, lost many points

Yeah that's the thing. It's been pretty inconsistent with SOT. Mainly cause of the bad standby. Usually when I use the phone it drains slowly. But today it just started draining badly even while using it. Super weird ughhhh . (Combined with bad standby as well)
I have no idea what Dex is it just appeared out of nowhere and idk how to disable it. Maybe I'll go to Samsung if they can heck my battery or something.. :/ thanks.

i means, you need to check the battery consumption % of all the items
then only decide which one is the problem

also to note that if you frequently turn on screen for a short while to check status, etc, it consume a lot of battery
but if you are always on screen perform activities for long time per time, it will have very good on screen time

so for me, i like AOD a lot, because it can avoid unnecessry frequently turn on screen to check status, time, etc
i am only on screen if i see notification on AOD
so it saved the battery a lot, and also just need a quick glance then i can decide to take out the phone or not, else just leave it there

if you are really not using much on the samsung dex, reddit and whatsapp
so its battery consumption should be lower than the kernel
so it maybe these 3 apps are the problem

can anyone help to share again that the correct steps to use spay for mst?
i think all the while i maybe perform it the wrong way that's why it turn out failed at all the places

I didn't know you were not using Samsung Dex. Dex is a device dock which allows us to connect a monitor and input devices to use our phone as a desktop workstation. It is pretty impressive but I haven't felt the need to get one for myself.

Since you are not utilising Dex, it is weird that it is using so much of your battery juice. Should put it to sleep.

Just the usual apps. Facebook, ig, twitter, whatsapp, those Google apps, waze. I switch on traffic information notification to work from Google in the morning. I disabled the Microsoft apps and put most of the apps that I don't need notifications or running in the always sleep setting.

My battery has been like that out of the box. If there's improvement it's minor cause I don't notice it. I always have around 96% battery when I wake up. So far I only need to charge during the day on the 1st day cause I was setting it up and playing with it. Other days it can last well into night with average 5 hours sot. But it can get slightly less when I'm on data most of the days.

Did you install Samsung dex by accident? It uses quite a lot of battery. I don't have it preinstalled.

Edit : btw i don't use always on display. I use led indicator instead.

Yes I think he installed Dex by accident. Should just uninstall it since he isn't using it. Battery performance should improve.

Thanks Samsung as im getting the free waffle from caffe bene.

Google what samsung dex was apparently just Gsam reporting wrongly. Actually is android system? But anyways...samsung dex is system app and got no way to disable also? At least from what i check

I never used AOD. So i went samsung and they just format for me then asked to use normally for 2 days. Hopefully can get better....as for Samsung dex its apparently a system app if you check the apps list. Oh well....just hope battery better or get replacement lol. Thanks for your answers. Will update.

I believe what you said is true. I'm getting dex drain both on my note8 and s6e+. What else can it be if not android system?

Samsung dex is part of the Android system. But from your Gsam, it shows that Samsung Dex = Android system? That's so weird. Could be a glitch. Anyway, let assume your Gsam report is correct. The real culprit is Samsung Dex. Then go to the app settings, find the Samsung Dex and force stop it. See if this will stop the drain or not.

Come back and report to us the outcome. Then we go from there.

but sometimes even no pay wave.. SPAY can also use the MST terminal.. yet they dont allow because they see it as "pay wave" or "mobile payment" so they die die dont let you try

or maybe im just unlucky

lol sometimes cannot blame those standing in front also.

sometimes its the boss like so scared customer scam so they prefer physical card..

what to do

since its my usual service center, i just dont bother haha

many shops let me try but i failed to use spay

what are the correct steps to use spay for mst machine?

tap it near the sliding terminal (around that MST sliding panel area where they will slide our card there)

to be honest, if samsung pay is a legit way to pay

the banks or media should let the public know that it is an acceptable alternative way to pay

here still not many know what is mobile wallet payment if you ask me

all still see a physical card = the only correct way to pay

i means full steps

such as enter amount and hit pay, then scan spay? i am doing this all the while
or scan spay first, then only enter amount and hit pay?

I already sketch it for everyone to see but still people keep asking

dude, i know where to tap
i means step 1, 2, 3, etc
because i got errors everytime

the only time that i successfully paid with mst, was the shop did it for me

Mafioso also use spay few times how would he know.

Teller need input amount and you see a message scan/swipe now the only you tap.

If u manually press is sales } key in amount } ok } scan
