I'm hoping to hear from some of the battery guru's here... I recently had an experience where my battery rapidly drained from ~30% to 0 within minutes, despite minimal usage of the phone in that time. I noticed a post elsewhere in the forum where a user did a slow charge via computer usb and...

Just realized I posted the wrong attachment. Post now edited with the screenshot of the post-slow charge stats.

Thanks again for the replies. I bought the phone outright less than 1.5 year ago so I definitely need to get more for my money out of it. Interesting update- I ran it down again in Safe Mode and got the same result, battery crashes below 30%. Then I read elsewhere on this site that someone...

Thanks, yes everything else with the performance seems to be fine. And as I mentioned the overall battery usage seems pretty good. At least according to the phones meter, it only uses about 30% of the battery in a 24 hour period. Of course if the battery has really lost 30% of its total...

Thanks for this information, it helps give context to the problem.

OK, would the process to monitor in safe mode be the same as I've done by checking the usage statistics for sharp drops in battery status?

Thanks again. I'll let it run down again over the next couple days and see what happens, but I'm pretty disappointed with Samsung at the moment.

Thanks. That's pretty disappointing a well-cared for battery less than 1.5 years old would degrade so much. Is that typical? Below are two screen shots that capture two battery level crashes this week from ~30% to 0, with the apps listed at the bottom. Doesn't look like unusual usage, but...

Recently my phone battery goes from 30% to 0 in about a half hour with no use. Can anything be done or does this mean battery replacement? What is the cause? Phone is S9, <1.5 yrs old. Since new I've been careful to keep the charge between 50-80%, which is usually about 24 hours of use for...

Thanks. But unfortunately re-doing the SmartSwitch didn't bring the missing pictures back. Any other suggestions?

Thanks, I'm not an advanced user so I'm not fully literate on all this... When you say "download them", do you mean re-do the transfer with Samsung Smart Switch? Is there any chance that process would delete the messages on my new phone that have come in since the first transfer?

Interesting, I don't seem to have all those multimedia message settings. Only 4 of your 5 toggles, and nothing about restrictions or multimedia limits.

Not that I can see... I'm just using the stock messaging app on both the S4 and S9.

I used Samsung Smartswitch to transfer data from my old S4 to my new S9. One thing that didn't seem to fully work was MMS messages. The text came through, but not attachments. What can I do? If I tried running the transfer again, would I risk creating duplicates of the rest of the messages...

Thanks, but maybe I'm not describing this clearly... When I touch the power button now it does take me to the lock screen. What I see there is the app widget over the lock screen wall paper. What I want to see is the app widget but with the wallpaper replaced by the full screen artwork of the...
