There is a new update for the AOD on the Galaxy App. Anyone updated it? The reviews show that AoD is not working for s9+ after updating.
*

I found out that AOD is kinda battery consuming even though I only used the side bar only..
*
yup.. exynos weaker than sd in standby
mine with AOD full, overnight drain about 10%, ~8h
with AOD home button, ~8h drain about 7%

without AOD, ~8h around 4%

surprisingly, home button only drain 7% doh.gif
i tot it will drain about 3 to 5 %

*
how about network coverage?
bad network coverage sucks lots of battery
i notice this celcom at my area very unstable, keep changing between 4G+ to 4G with mostly 2 bar

Looks normal to me but gotta agree samsung standy sucks..
Try off AOD, sync also turn off allow activity/data on background for unwanted apps..
I turn off for Facebook, messenger, samsung apps.
Helps a bit.. from 12% to 10% overnight with AOD

SOT damn impressive. Getting average 5 to 6 min/%1battery drop
With wqhd, auto brightness with lux and 2 bar lte

Side note, samsung keyboard nice.. swipe to move cursor rocks.. haha

Between p20p, g7 and s9+, which one would u recommend best to people?
*
Depends ur preferences and usage, seriously
P20p great for low light and battery life
G7 impressive boombox sound
S9+, dual speaker, manual tune camera lens, samsung pay

imo, choose phone based on YOUR preferences and needs. Not due to the phone features

Ok thanks.

I'm thinking to switch to G7 as it's using SD 845 and it provides features like s9+ (besides proprietary apps like samsung pay/health etc)

But i heard very bad reviews on G7. Is it true if compared to s9+ or just difference of few mins?
*
I saw few review saying g7 battery worse than g6 n v30. I did research more on v30.. v30 much better option if u want sound, camera and battery balance.

S9+ suck in standby, 1% lost every hour but SOT not bad for flagship tier.. continuous usage I can get 5h to 6h with 4g, wqhd, AOD and auto brightness.

QUOTE(jeff10012003 @ Jun 27 2018, 09:41 AM)
AOD really eats battery.
i can see the difference in battery usage between turning on and off.
how do you turn off the FB/messenger/samsung apps?
*
Yup.. I notice that as well.. I'm thinking maybe schedule it.. I don't think at home nd AOD

To turn off background data, go to the app setting, mobile data.
To turn off background activity, go to battery usage, choose desired app and turn off allow background activity. (I only found this option at battery usage)

I only turn off samsung apps like galaxy app and themes.. 😁

Haha u did almost what I did. Add one more use good lock app + routine to auto switch on power saving mode when u sleep and set one hour earlier when u wake, other than restrict background app activity at device maintainance there got one always sleeping app I add those not frequent use app like grab and etcl. My standby also very kuat liao.
*
Where the settings? I been thinking to set power saving medium when battery hit 50% but can't find. My Lenovo p2 got this option built in

Yep. One is the Dex Station (the old  one with Ethernet port); & the latest Dex Pad (the slimmer one w/o Ethernet port)
Got the other type c extension that run Samsung Dex but hard to find, certain model can run it.

I have try with my Apacer Type C extension but cant run Samsung Dex; only mirroring display can use.
*
buy from amazon? biggrin.gif


dex station with built in fan for cooling
without fan, pretty sure its bad for performance and battery health
