Oneplus 35mbs

u tested with wifi or the same SIM?

Just to update on standby time, SOT and signal.

7 hours sleep, the batt dropped from 97% to 93%.  (4g, wifi, bluetooth on)

Btw for the past 2 days, my SOT exceeds 8 hours - which is very rare for me and my usage.

For signal, this sd note10+ is definitely better than exynos. Finally i can get 3 bars 2.4g wifi signal in my reading room upstairs (whereas exynos note 10+ or my previous s10+ automatically use 4g when i'm in that room).
Can use, but no points or rewards.
Nope. I only purchased pixel phones from techbug

Ordered mine to replace my Exynos version. Haven't arrived yet. Bought an S10+ Snapdragon from the same seller. Reputable seller on both Lazada and Shopee but be prepared to wait for the Snapdragon version. I waited 1 week plus for mine. People here are quite tight lipped when it comes to where they get this variant lol

Do some comparison tests if u still hv the Exynos version when u get the SD.

Test wifi and mobile connections at weak spots around ur house and office.

I don't own the sd version of note 10. But comparing with other sd855 phones. Still finding out about the standby time issue. Will see switching to just 3g obviate the issue.

I saw this video review of previous s10 9820 vs sd855, the standby time for the sd is 2x if the lte radio is on, but not so much a difference if there's no sim installed.

I also notice the standby time and also sot on wifi is extremely longer compared to lte on the note 10.

The lte chip is apparently different and bundled with the cpu like the gpu. This might be the reason. That's my theory for now.
*
Yea, I suspect it's the antenna for LTE.

LOLz......Mate 30 Pro leading by a mere 4 points. I would still stick with the Note 10+ for peace of mind, having Google Services out of the box.

Watching videos on the N10 is more enjoyable too, as the sound is more balance on both sides.

Yeah I can see, sadly based on your SOT and usage, that is a pretty sad case. One more option you can try is so factory reset your phone and install all your apps from scratch, instead of using Smart Switch to restore from your previous backup. Might be worth a shot if you have the time to spare.
*
Not much improvement to me.

Installed everything from scratch, only transferred photos and SMS via Smart Switch.

Don't know just coincident or what, after resetting everything on Saturday, noticed the slow switching from 3G back to 4G on Sunday at Leisure Mall (those who frequent this place know the 4G is quite strong).

As of typing this, the battery seems alot battery. But have to monitor more to tell haha.
*
At this rate, i'm guessing u can go up to 35 hours on if u let it goes to 0%.
Since u r tracking it, why not turn on the battery percentage?

Just pull all my battery stats screenshots into Excel.
I filtered out weekends, public holidays, MC and outstation days.

With my meager data sample of 8, here r my numbers:
Battery time:
avg: 24.55 hours
max: 32 hours
SOT
avg: 5.48 hours
max: 6.48 hours

Considering all the data (22 instead of the 8 above):
max battery time is 36 hours (5.42 SOT),
max SOT is 7.23 hours (19.48 battery).

Setup: dual SIMs (unifi, maxis).
Brightness: adaptive
Resolution: FHD+ 1080, night mode
Mobile data, wifi, location always on.
Typical usage: browsing, WA, youtube n no gaming.

Did i miss anything else?

Anyone know of any app that can capture the signal of a door/security card into the phone, since N10 has NFC and MST function?

Saw a M20P with Hpay app that has a section for access card, and it really opened the security gate before the lift of a commercial building.

It will be handy as sometimes we could forget to take the cards along, but not the phone.

Nope. My colleague has Huawei Pay in his Mate 20 pro, which he got it from China.

In that app, it has this card cloning capability.

Yesterday i tried NFC Tools app, it can read my card, but i didn't know how to save the signal n use it.

'Cards - Mobile Wallet' app cant read that card of mine.

Snapdragon first use already giving me 8h 11m SOT biggrin.gif

Every setting, apps, home and lockscreen wallpapers same as Exynos.

My Exynos best was 7h 14m SOT with 19h 29m standby.


The SD version uses 5 bars to indicate signal, vs Exynos of 4, still need to see if the antenna is better.

Also, u can see it indicates 3G for the non-data network (useful if u accidentally turn 4G on. i think it's better to use 2/3G as the signal is normally stronger)

In the drop down notification, there are 2 extra options: 'Capture screen' and 'VoLTE' (on/off)

Oh, in case zoixc is wondering, yes the SD version battery does drop from 100% not long after unplugged.

The place i work in have very minimal 4g line.
phone usually struggles to get 4g and line might be slower than 3g
i came from huawei previously whereby there got a toggle at the notifcations there.
was wandering if there is in samsung.

See if u can trigger 3G mode via Bixby Routines.
