Question related battery - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

Hi,
My S9+ is two days old now. But as per "Phone Info - Samsung" app it is showing battery health as 94.14%.
It should be 100% or near to 100%, is not it?

They can't be taken as accurate, accubattery makes a reasonable attempt to estimate based on charge current and battery wear averages but still isn't great, as you can see there is a difference between the two apps.
That said accubattery showed my health at 92%, I reinstalled and it's now at 99%.
Only way to be sure is to take it to a Samsung store

Thanks for your reply.
Now I have provided Battery usage and Accubattery health status.
What do you think?

Your stats look pretty standard to me, it's probably a bit better than mine, especially as you're playing games (I've attached some of mine) - you can't trust a lot of the screenshots that show 48 hours with 8 hours SOT
In regards to accubattery, I'd suggest doing a number of charge cycles before making any judgement based on it. Also it is an estimate so not going to be exactly accurate

Till now I am happy with its battery performance as I have upgraded from S8. And I also know how to get 48 hours with 8 hours SOT...

Fair enough, in that case I'd recheck accubattery after a few charge cycles and if you're still worried take it into a store

Lg G3 Hyperion 6000mAh extended battery review

Hyperion 6000mAh Extended Battery
I got this last week and till now it been great! starting to love my lg g3 on a whole new level.
My old stock battery with all my tweaks used to last for 4-5hrs screen on time.
I havent drained this completely but i believe this would go for between 11-12hrs sot
Its not properly calibrated and if i charge it even after its 100% charged it stays on 100% for an hour of sot after unplugging and then drops 10% per hour of sot.
My usage includes only internet usage like browsing and facebook, offline tv shows and music and occasional real racing 3 now. Both wifi and 3g. so basically battery consuming stuff.
Will have to wait for it to be calibrated properly to get exact numbers but im still looking at atleast 10hrs sot and thats good enough for me. Lasts more than a day.
see attachment for bbs screenshots. Will also have to wait a few weeks to confirm if this performance stays on.

how is this in comparison? http://www.amazon.com/Capacity-Exte...786855&sr=1-7&keywords=lg+g3+extended+battery
@fubag I own the MPJ and i get great battery life with it. I believe both batteries are essentially the same

i dont own that battery, so cant comment.
but only 9 reviews on amazon, and a reviewer mentioned 6-7 sot which is less than hyperions, although it would depend on the usage..

What battery health does Phone info app show for you? Is my battery defective?

Hi
I just got this phone from under a month ago. After 24 charge cycles it's already at 95% according to phone info app.
Is my battery defective or is the app not right?

Same for me 90.71 % after reflash my S9 + several times with
Stock G965FXXS2BRI1
As i heard its about samsung politique after each update devices will deteriorate......(battery drain , lags ,limit performance.......)
In order to force consumers to upgrade and move to new devices
It has nothing to do with that. I installed that app on my first purchase of my brand new device and charge cycle=0 and battery health at 94.00% so it's just an estimate

The apps are woefully inaccurate, but if you have any concerns you can take it to a Samsung store and they'll test. I used accubattery for a while but it showed my health to decline over time, reinstalled the app and it was back to 100%......
Yup my says 100%. Day one purchase. Fullcapnom says i have 3700mah battery my wild guess is that samsung use bigger batteries to compensate capacity loss.
For monitoring the usage you might want to give GSam a try as it has some good graphs so see what might cause issues.
I also got S9+ yesterday. I checked the battery with Phone Info and Accubattery. When i checked for a bit before purchage, It showed 95%. But now when I used it for 1 day. It changed to 85%. Phone Info shows 104 charge cycle. I don't know whether this Accubattery is really good way to measure the battery or if i should change this phone for completely new one. Phone Info still shows battery health around 95%.

Not happy with Battery

Hi have my phone five days now, and was super thrilled about the supposed battery life.
Well, not very happy so far, battery life seems to be worse than my HTC U11.
I have installed AccuBattery (Pro) and it tells me my Design capacity for the battery is 1000mah. This cannot be correct, so I changed it to 4200 mah.
It is telling me my battery health is 92%. What is going on, as I feel battery life is not that good. Do I have a faulty phone??
I agree
Sounds like it's faulty. The battery on mine is amazing. Lasts for ages and charges ridiculously quickly.

Post your battery status, use device id app to see if you have 4200mah.
You might have rogue app, try to clear cache via recovery.

How do I do that please I just installed a device id app and it tells me battery 4200mAh
Weird AccuBattery says 1000mAh
Gsam battery stats, install that and it will show you the battery usage.
Also go to settings, battery, battery usage, upload a screen shot
I added two files to show you what is you should be getting, please note, our usage is vastly different, so YMMV.

Official Huawei stores can change your battery for about 20USD. Just contact any of your local Huawei outlets.
I also use AccuBattety and it reports the battery at 92% too. My guess is that AccuBattety has a harder time estimating the charge properly because of the super fast charging. I've never tried with a slow charger to see if its reading would be any different.
That said, I usually get around 7-8h of on screen time.
Standby drain is usually decent though sometimes if it drains too quickly overnight, I looks at the battery stats in settings and usually find an app misbehaving. I like going in the battery details, software section and looking at the summary per hour to see which app consumes how much. Usually at night I'll only have 1-2 apps consuming like 1 mah per hour. But sometimes I find an app that might have crashed or something and consumes more.
I am pretty impressed I usually get around 7.5 hours with a fair use of Facebook which drains juice, but without using Facebook I can get 9.5 to 10.5 hour SOT.
I usually charge up and unplug before going to sleep, with wifi and location services on I lose at most 2% in 7 to 8 hour, with mobile data on I lose about 4 to 5 percent.
I am quite a heavy user, but Gsam battery says average of 9 hours SOT since measurements began a few weeks ago.
I'd like to see how long it would last on standby but I'd never get to do that ? unless I go to device Rehab.

I would say light use, 10 mins off Facebook at night. Charged it to 100 % last night and took it off charge before I went to sleep. Went from 100 to 88% over 9 hours while I was sleeping. Is that normal?

It's poor but that's because u have apps that draining the juice, even without mobile data or wifi on, Facebook is the first one.
Had same issue, today i lost 2% in 8 hours, which is very good.
Make sure before you go to sleep, to turn off your mobile data and any app that needs internet connection in the background, mainly facebook, insta and such...
my usage 2 days without charging...
20% left....
and over 9 hours OST.....
battery life is amazing!

As it should be,I'm upset:crying:
Went back to the three shop today, explained all. Guy in shop took a couple of photos of the battery stats, and said he will call me back, I just want a new phone.
I had an HTC U11 previously, with all the same apps installed, and a lower capacity battery, and phone would last me all day with 45% or so at the end of the day. All settings the same.
I'm convinced it's a faulty battery. Proving it is difficult.

cancel your upgrade and start again if you can. Thats why I always buy online or over the phone so I get the 14 day return option.

Fake Battery capacity oneplus nord

Hello everyone, I've been using a oneplus nord for the last three days and the phone is brand new. One thing I noticed is that the battery life is not that great considering it has a 4115Mah so I took a look at Aida64 battery stats when charged to 100% and it looks like the maximum capacity is 3500 Mah. I found this a bit weird since it's impossible that the battery degradated so quick and so much most of all. So I wanted to ask if you re willing to share a screenshot of aida64 of the battery capacity at 100% just to make sure if it's a single device problem or a common issue. Thanks everybody

If you're getting 8-9 hours SOT every cycle I wouldn't worry that much about stats. Those apps can be off, even accubattery needed an update because it couldn't handle the battery of the 8 series.

Mines almost WiFi only, I don't get out much and I don't play graphic intensive games. So if your almost full on data it's not bad imho.
EDIT: you could try accubattery and see if it's more accurate after some charge-decharge cycles?
My is 1396mAh when fully charged. So I googled, and found this:
"On many devices the standard Android Battery API is inadequately implemented, and fails to provide proper charge counter information for the battery. If you want, you can hide the incorrect charge counter information from the Battery page by unchecking the charge counter option in the AIDA64 Settings."

I had roughly the same value. Maybe accubattery isn't reading the values properly? There was an update regarding the 8 series because it couldn't reed the values of "2" batteries. Maybe it's bugged for the Nord too?
Accubattery thinks that my battery is 6879mAh. And that is after several charges. So yeah, I think we can safely assume these number don't mean s****.
I'm testing BatteryGuru now and it shows it right...

Looking for App to Monitor App Battery Drain? Non-Root

I have a non-rooted S20+ and looking for an app to tell me specifically what's running and taking up what battery drain. I used to use better Battery Stats back in the day when I had a rooted device, so hoping there is something relatively similar that I can use. Any suggestions?

That's actually the one I *JUST* downloaded and got working. It had some weird N%N values the other day after sending the adb commands so I gave up with it. It seems to be running normally today. Any other suggestions in case this doesn't do what I'm needing? I'm definitely having some rogue app draining battery, have only started having bad draining issues within the last 1-3 months...

this is the best and most complete in stats that I know of disable battery optimization it should work better.
it allows you to know which are the best cables and chargers since it indicates the charging intensity I use on all my devices.

Everytime I charge, temp exceeds 40°C

Is this normal.
Its rainy season in India and not even that hot.

It is well known that the Exynos overheat and manage the battery less well than the Snapdragon.
If it heats up a lot, don't use it while charging, it will recharge faster because beyond a certain temperature (it seems to me that Samsung has set it to 42º) the charge is cut off.
I use "Battery Charging Monitor".
