No wonder some android phone standby sucks
Google keep pinging for locations

My guess is Google might be locating using internet

for Note 8, when it is on Data connection especially 4G/LTE, its standby suck
but if it is on Wifi connection, Data is off, standby damn good

True, using telcos network drink more juice.
Using wifi connection longer battery standby time.

especially when you are moving in the transport, it is dropping even faster

actually i am quite disappointed with the flare happens with note 8 camera, no way to avoid

based on the research results, it seems like no solution and some are commented that it can be solved by software camera if samsung want to solve it

tried the methods given in the below in pro mode, the flare is still there, except if i tune the brightness to very dark then only it will go away

https://www.lazada.com.my/products/samsung-...s481989484.html

ayam bought curved tempered glass (not full glue) after install its not so sensitive on the corners and its not sticky enough like full glue. after 2 days using already removed it >.<

with this type of protector, when your screen has scratch, you can't tell that is it on the protector on screen
you can't remove the protector and replace with a new one that scratch free
if the scratches are really on the protector, don't have proof show that you can remove the scratch by re-apply the same protector
so may end up, you choose to change the phone screen

Hopefully, still above 95%. Mine just dipped to 93%, since I last checked.
*
if based on phone info, it is 93% now
but my phone still the same as previous, charged to 100% at 11pm, then next day morning still have 97% at 8am
balance still around 68-72% by 9pm

Someone mentioned having 60% ++ battery left by 9 PM. How do you guys even do it? Are you running on 720 display without body sensors on? No bluetooth? No location tracking? No data?

On an average working day, I charge my phone twice (minimum) / thrice (max). Mostly on mobile data unless I'm back home. My GPS are on all the time. Bluetooth on if I'm syncing to speakers/car, display is maxed out to 1440. Vibration is turned off but I'm using video lockscreen.

Even then, the difference in battery life shouldn't be THAT drastic. Sooooo does my battery require diagnosis or replacement? I thought it was normal for the note phones to have pretty average battery lives. Never expected much since Note 1.
*
well, i don't turn on wifi and data at the same time..
from 8am to 6pm, i use data only and after that wifi
turn off both before 12am when go to sleep
i don't turn on bluetooth and location unless i want to use it

i use AOD but when i am in front of my pc, means during working hours, i will use web wechat and whatsapp
so i don't need to use the phone, then turn the phone face down to dim the AOD and 80% of the time don't need to check the phone
i am using vibration and iris, FHD
most of the times, i have more than 70% left

for SOT, i found out that unless you are on the screen and using for longer time, then it is good SOT
if not just quick on and off for many times, the SOT is actually bad

Well yeah, I don't have both wifi and data turned on at the same time too. It's either one. To make matters worse, I don't even have IRIS on. Already using package disabler. Although I have AOD turned on, it's set to sleep from 12am - 8am so I'm really quite salty over the fact that you're getting more out of your battery than me. Hahaha. It's not like I can't live with this but when I'm travelling, I get paranoid, even bring 2 powerbanks with me sometimes because of heavy camera usage.

Another question, is Sync turned on or off? Edge lighting enabled?
*
my AOD is on from 8.20am to 11.10pm
sync are all turn off, i don't like auto sync, even auto update is turn off
edge lighting is on
screen brightness set to 45%, not auto brightness

my own experience for reference when phone screen is off, means i am not doing anything with the phone

1) if AOD is always displaying, drop 1% per 2 hours
2) if data is on, i am always at same location (example in the office), drop 1% per hour
3) if data is on, and i am moving to different locations in the transport, drop min 2% or more per hour (should be due to the telco signal strength at different location and also switching between different signal towers)

you guys can also try to monitor your phone battery consumption

Wonder can we use the S Pen from Note 9 in Note 8?

The only thing from the release that catch my interest.

QUOTE(Xaser_3 @ Aug 10 2018, 04:54 PM)
I doubt so, as every Note variants S-pen is slightly different. I wished that it could work with Note 8 too.
*
even the size is same and you can insert it into the n8 spen slot, use as usual like n8
but n8 can't charge the n9 spen battery, so the remote control will not work
i am so wish that n9 spen can work the same as n9 in n8

0.1" wider and 6 grams heavier is considered too big?

actually note 8 is big for me too
from the video, the size of note 9 is noticeable bigger, especially for the width

Well, depending on their usage terms,
With 1%/h,  days = 48% (my S9+ draining 1% per h)
Still got 52% for usage
With S9+, I can achieve 2day no problem but sot most probably around 3 to 4h
*
my note 8 battery consumption is also around 30-40% per day only, so it is actually can last me 2 days
but i am prefer to charge it everyday
i have low SOT, because i am facing pc for most of the time in whole day, whatever app that can use in PC, i will login on PC, such as whatsapp, wechat, fb
so the main battery drainer for my note 8 is the LTE data connection
