battery issue - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

affter i updated mine s9+ to pie android mine battery life is reduced by half, anyone have this or it is just me. is there some fix for this

I mean, not half the battery life, but I did notice a drop in life from Oreo and even the pie beta (the pie beta had very good battery life btw).
I'm just still gonna use cause maybe they messed something up, cause I already enjoy the no navbar gestures. They'll fix it next patch maybe.
If you truly are getting half the life, might wanna factory reset, just back everything up in smartswitch. It's pretty seamless

ok ill try that when i get time , but it is boring to back up data

Overall Nougat update

Overall as per looks it's awesome, but at performance and battery it's not good, tbh it was much better on marshmallow...
I think this is a thing now, the more the devices get updated to nougat the more their battery life sucks..
I charge my P9 Plus 2 times a day due to this bad update!
As I currently own a OnePlus 3t as well and since it got updated to the latest nougat it's battery life also sucks!:crying:
I got my update through the phone and did not install it from PC onto my P9 Plus..
What are your reviews on the new nougat update?
Though, if someone has has a fix to this update that causes bad battery and bad performance, then please be free to mention it below!
Well at least for Europe there is a new Update from B360 to B370 that is supposed to also improve battery consumption. I must say I didn't notice the battery lasting any less long than under MM anyway, for me it stayed just the same more or less. I can make it through the day+night easily, depending on how much I use even two days. If you say you have to charge twice a day that definitely doesn't sound normal, did you ever try if a factory reset resolves the issue?
No I didn't, it just automatically updated with my current data which was on MM

Upgrade via OTA to OREO terrible draining battery!!!

Hy everyoneI've upgraded to Oreo since just two days via OTA my Sony X (F5121), it turns on quickly compared to Nougat, but I encounter a serious problem of draining battery , I have already checked all the apps with background activities and optimized start of the various apps, but nothing changes, still remains the problem!
Some advice? To give you an idea after just two hours from power on, it drops by 40% !!! while with Nougat it lasted me two days on, and with my soft use sometimes even three days before charging...
Thanks in advance​
1. Ota on sony usually ends up haivng upgrade with huge batter drain (personal xperience)
2. Oreo on x is not optimized, used for 2-3 days and now am i back to 7.1.1
today new update 34.4.a.2.19 release ,
flash it clean! Wipe everything after taking backup
Today everything seems to be back to normal, percentage of the battery is now at 82% from early this morning that I turned it on.
The update you said I do not have it yet, it will come. I currently have version 34.4.A.0.364
I hope that everything has been fixed, this weekend was an absurd thing, they had already happened with the previous Nexus 5 periods of a few days of anomalous draining, perhaps due to some service below that drained, but so visibly absurd.
Thank you
This is odd. My battery life was, just like yours, horrific but it got a bit better later. I'll try the updated now.
This morning 109MB software update that brought the version to 34.4.A.2.19 with security patch 01 February 2018
Draining battery has returned punctually unfortunately, now battery level is 40%.......in the evening I don't arrive with this trend, I'll have to recharge in the afternoon.
Yesterday instead everything seemed come back to normal, arrived in the evening at home with 70% of charge.
Let's see when it will return to normal ...
Let it settle 1-3 days and report back.
The situation seems come back normal finally, since yesterday, I am currently at 50% charge (yesterday morning was at 100% just loaded).
I notice that the notification LED is slower in flashing, with Nougat instead it was regular, in addition to the app gmail that always syncs and appears in the upper left icon, even this I had not noticed before with Nougat.
Volte
Since the Oreo update I have to charge the battery more than one time a day. I start in the morning with a full charged battery and very often, I have to charge again already in the afternoon. I am using my phone a lot, but I did that already with Nougat. With the Nougat version, I had always still about 20% at the late evening. Based on the service menu the battery is not damaged and based on the App AccuBattery: 95% healthy.
The installed version is 34.4.A.2.50
I am not sure, if I should go back to Nougat (without having the security updates) or if I should try a custom rom.
As it is now, it is very frustrating.......
Horrible battery oreo rom i have charge 2 time
Inviato dal mio F5121 utilizzando Tapatalk
Last Thursday I did a factory reset. I was hoping this would change something. Unfortunately not. Still just one day with a full charged battery. So I think I will go back to Nougat. I wonder if this is a common issue with the device running Oreo or if only a few devices affected by that.
Now I'm back on the latest Nougat stock rom.
Battery life time is back to normal, about two days.
For me it is unbelievable that Sony is offering an update which has such an impact to the battery.

Battery Percent

I have started getting a Battery Percent that keeps defaulting back to 40% it shows 100% when charged, but then eventually reverts back to showing 40% I have tried wiping cache, but it keeps reverting back.
Might want to specify which ROM version you are running...
Mine’s still great. I charge either once every night or every other day during the night time.
(Boy that Mate 10 Pro Porsche Design looks nice!)
Oops!! Guess I should have put this under the Nougat thread. I'm running the latest lineage 14.1. The funny thing is I've been running it for a while now with no issues. I replaced my battery a few months ago, the new battery holds a good charge and haven't had any issues with it. So if I reboot my phone again it shows the correct battery percent, but after a few minutes will revert back to 40% every time.
That’s not a problem where you post, just wondering if it is a bug with the ROM/OS, or the new battery, because I have been using this phone for years while my wife and son still struggle with the puny batteries on their iPhones, which are even newer!
I still run the 5.1 from Huawei. It may have degraded but still so large in comparison I can’t feel a difference. Definitely doesn’t ever jump at all that I notice.

Im running the latest lineage-14.1-20180119, and have been since it came out. I think it might be something to do with battery, I have the same phone for my wife with the same rom and no issue on her phone.
I have the latest Lineage as well, but I do not have this problem. Does it ever get below 40%? If so, maybe try letting it run out completely and then do a full charge from there?
Yes once it gets to 40% it starts going down or if I plug it in it will show the correct percentage.

Battery life and performance on oreo compared to nougat?

Hi
How is the battery life and performance on oreo compared to nougat on tab s3? I'm worried that the oreo update will decrease battery life and performance, so I haven't updated it yet. I read many posts about the oreo update messing up the battery life of Samsung s8 phones, so I'm very sceptical about the oreo update.
Thank you in advance!
In my opinion, the battery consumption is far more worse, than I've expected.
But that's no big news, because it is/was the same with the nougat/oreo update on the galaxy s9.
Got the v8.0.0 April 1 2018 update yesterday. So far zero issues.

But is it significantly worse than with nougat as the os on the tab s3.
A couple of days in and battery life seems to be a lot better than with the previous OS version. I find I don't have to plug in again until well past lunch time where as before I was plugging in at lunch time. So better battery life and the UI is feeling a little crisper and faster.
Sorry long time irregular user here but on my US wifi only S3 9.7 if that's what we're talking about here, the battery usage is waaay worse than it was before the update 2 days ago which I thought previously was excellent. I don't buy tablets to tweak them but it seems like I have to do something, I did try a list of tips I think I found here when I got the device in December I'll try to dig up, assuming that doesn't work I'll be in here asking noobishly how to roll it back.
I did not do a factory reset after the upgrade from nougat to oreo.... It's still lagging.
I have done nothing after the upgrade and continue to have superior battery life than before.

Hi, did you do factory reset?

Negative. Did the upgrade and restarted the tablet. I don't do factory resets.
Oreo improved my s3's speed, minimal lag now. The battery does appear to have taken a small hit tho.
Mines turned into a lag fest and the battery is shocking. Its made a top of the range tablet into a dog.
Upgraded to oreo yesterday (Verizon U.S.). No reset here. Battery life seems worse. 10% drained sitting on my desk for 5 hrs doing nothing, mobile data turned off, wifi 'never' on during sleep.
Battery drain is fine for me. Looks better than before.. Stock WiFi not Verizon.
Update: After a few days of battery drain, things seem to have stabilized now. I seem to remember seeing something in Battery settings stating 'determining battery usage' or something similar. So maybe it takes some time to get straight, but all seems normal now.
That said, why was Oreo even released? I see no serious added features or performance gains. Only a few surface changes. But hey, at least we now have numbered badges. Big deal.

After updating to emui 9. Phone is getting warm and battery life is taking a hit

Maybe it's just one day of using the phone but I have not faced this kind of issues before on Oreo ... The main difference that I am experience after updating to emui 9 is that touch response has become very instant and speed of opening apps for any links for anything has become as smooth as butter and very fast... I mean it's a same hardware but this new update made it very fast... Camera application has Master ai in it... Interface has changed notification panel has changed all the themes that were compatible with e m u i 8 they are not compatible anymore (3rd party) and phone is getting little bit hot from the upper half of the phone on the backside and the battery life which I was getting before.. it's is going down a bit quicker. the main improvement I think is only the speed of opening applications and stuff
mine isn't getting hot, well it is, but it is hot because im playing with the phone more trying to figure out what's changed
In my opinion battery drains much quicker. Before update I' had got 10h SOT, now it's only 7-9h
Same here. Battery consumption has gone up! If only I had known. It was great before, now it's average. Hmmmpf. The first day with Emui 9 was terrible!
I guess the ai isn't that intelligent or at least doesn't care to much about helping the battery...
Is there a way to downgrade? It sucks, first I couldn't wait to update and now I wish I never did..
From the old rom flashing days i can say that battery life should be much better after a few days
A factory reset might help too, but I see no difference in battery life but I only got it for a day so far
For everyone complaining. The software will take a few days to settle. Especially if you do just the update and not the full package download. Relax and let it settle
Since I have gotten the update I found my battery life is actually a little better, I'm getting about 30 minutes more of screen on time. Wireless desktop mode is amazing, the updated camera app with the master AI and the amazing night mode is vastly improved. I'm extremely happy, Emui 9 has made my mate 10 feel like a new phone again.

Did you perform a factory reset after updating?
Guys, once you update from one android version to another, always, always do a factory reset once you set the phone after the update. Making a backing takes less than 10 minutes, doing the factory reset takes around 10 minutes too and restoring all the data is even faster. So, I suggest you spend 30 additional minutes but to do it right.
I did a factory reset and still the phone was draining like crazy.. Couldn't get even 7 hours of SOT.. Even after about 3 days

Yes I did, I had a bunch of Emui 8 themes and wanted to start fresh.
After upgrade, I have also noticed that the phone is getting warm, even during light load like using the camera, gallery, surfing etc. but the situation is much better four days later. Battery life is still not good, 6-7 h SoT at the moment (9-10 h with EMUI 8).

Yes, I will also do a factory reset but without restoring all data because sometimes it restores problems too. I will restore only crucial apps like mobile banking.
Hi
Just now software updated my mate 10 to emui 9
The problem faced is, whenever I get a call and gets disconnected the fone gets shifted to vibrate mode automatically
And I receive msg as 'vibrate for calls and notifications
Can anyone guide why this is happening
