S9...purely for the headphone jack. The U11 would have been my next logical step if the jack had not been excluded. I'd been with HTC since the EVO 4g. I primarily listen to music as I can listen while working. I root all my devices out of the box, delete all Samsung/ Google bloatware except...

Without root or utilizing ADB commands, many users will never get to the bottom of what's killing their battery. I advise you learn how to output, then read a log or dumpfile. It will tell you exactly what is wrong alongside a little research. The answers are right in your device in a certain...
