Another Battery Issue 3hrs SOT

[Anotherusr]

I've posted about this some time ago but didn't know how the mods would feel about digging up an old thread so I just made a new one.

So my phone is loosing a good 10% within a little over a hour first issue. Second issue I see people averaging 5 1/2 to 7 hours out of this phone while I'm barely getting 4 sometimes only 3. I have bluetooth turned on as I have a s3 watch, and I usually have location turned on high accuracy. I tried turning on Power saving mode today which has my cpu throttled and makes several apps act strange but that made me to 5 hours. I prefer not to have to baby the phone to last throughout the day. Drive for uber and lyft and those apps don't seam to like the power saving so that's not a fix for me.

I factory reset the phone two nights ago to see if that would help since OREO seamed to have made my phones battery worse. I only loaded a handful of necessary apps back on for the time being. Turned Always on Display back off.

Any thought of how to even get 5 1/2- 6hr SOT regularly , I'm not even looking for the 7+ some people claim as I just want to use the phone like it was intended.

I do have GSAM loaded in case anyone wants a peak at that.

What is your screen brightness set at? Mine is set right up to the red line on the indicator yet it's only showing 3% battery usage. 20+% seems horribly high to me.

My Note 8 use to get much better battery life performance prior to the Oreo 8.0 update also. I've lost an average of about 3 to 4 hours of use a day as compared to the same usage prior to the 8.0 update
AT&T Version if that matters. I can not see anything different in the battery usage stats either from 7.1 to 8.0 :-

You should really pay attention to it. Mine will go 16 to 20hrs one day heavy usage and the next got to charge it after 4 hrs. They need to fix this now!

Mine is the same. Very bad. I'll ditch my Note and go for something else if it is not fixed very soon.

Between 40-50% , if it's after 7pm more like 30%.

If my screen didn't randomly crack for the second time (like a post I read earlier also had happen) I'd really consider something else, I love the note but I would give a iphone x a shot for a bit though I'd have to be prepared to give up some customization.
