So far so good but i notice you must using your phone quite often to get this SOT.

Disabled all bixby related apps
AOD schedule from 8am to 6pm
Mid battery saving from 12am to 7am
WQHD+ all day from 7am to 12am
Bluetooth for 12hrs for gear,whatsapp,fb,ig,youtube,surfing the net,music for 2hrs,gps off if not using,sync off
50:50 wifi/4G, 50% brigthness indoor and auto outdoor
Normally left like 15% midnite and went to bed
Charge when woke up at 6am

That day is my boring and lazy day. Just scroll FB, watch YT, IG, Tweeter and browse chrome.
This is my 1st samsung phone. All the while im HTC hard core fan😅
After U12+ launch and read some reviews, the battery i quite dissapointed beside the touch sensitive button issue.
That why im decided to jump ship to samsung and particulaly for note9 due to battery. And so far N9 is not dissapointed me. Just i hope our market will get SD version instead of Exynos.

oh i tot that setting mentioned all can be automated

or in reality it can't be done?

Kinda weird Samsung remove the feature..
But it can automated via tasker

Im using bxaction. But still 99% all the time accident tekan so near to volume button

maybe one day Bixby can automated all that

until then just enjoy and use the phone to the max

nope i'm using note 8 

battery life not as good as note 9 surely

Bixy button can set Liao without 3rd app? I set my Bixy using 3rd partyapp. Went I hold Bixy it turn silent mode went I double press it just show hold to activate bixby but because the 3rd app party it show nothing hahaha

which is good enuf i reckon.

Since then i never once accidentayl launch bixby

Oh under bixby setting? Went I get the phone dind see that. Option there lol

not really no.

cause it doesnt seem like a big invesment to me.

if you're concern with the cost, then always wait for a year or 2 before buying the "latest" model lor.. then u will be less sad

This is weird actually.
I have been going to my nearest Samsung SC and it has been a excellent service from me.
It is weird when you said they have been holding your phone for too long.
My experience with Note8 battery drain warranty claim has been excellent.
At first they will try to reflash the firmware, if failed they will proceed to the next step.
I tell them that my Note8 is hot and lag but in reality it is not, they did not ask much and replace my mobo, battery, charging connector mobo and wireless charging coil for free.
And the best part all completed within 2 hours.
When I got the phone, the battery life is excellent surpassing my expectations.
And the Samsung SC call me back 5 days later to check how is the phone and everything.
I think no other smartphone manufacturer goes beyond that level of efficiency.
Even Apple service center experience I had is way below that what I get with Samsung.

some offer that i never thought off when complete the deal, i post it up

Finally... Joining the club... Received my phone from goshop today... Took about 7 working days.
Now waiting Supcase UB Pro for my note 9.

consider ok d (if u don't compare).

my with all sycn on, connect BT 24/7, connect wifi, at poor mobile signal area, i can reach 3 hr ++ to 4 hr only. but my without any social network apps, only one is WhatsApp.

depend who u talking to la .
