Battery Life discussion thread.

What YouTube videos did you watch if you don't mind me asking, I've seen a few from Jimmyispromo etc.... That have helped but it seems like one day it's awful then the following day it's good for me, cheers.

So, yesterday, I decided to try my device at 60 hertz. I took it off the charger at around 9am and 24+ hrs later, I am at 10%, and about to put it back on the charger. I also got a SoT of 7.75 hrs. I love this kind of battery life and it looks like I'll have to hold off on the 120htz display until there's some kind of stability update for the battery.


EDIT: for some reason this didn't post when I thought I posted it.

Just to give some comparison, this was what I was getting just 4 days prior to my change.

I’ve decided to just use the phone as I want to even if it means less battery life. I don’t want to need to switch things off to enjoy this phone so AOD is back on and system back to automatic with Dark mode on from 17:00

I have stopped looking at battery usage etc. as I have an average SoT figure of between 10.30 and 10.50 for a while now, obviously that's the average calculated, I haven't actually sat and stared at my screen for 10 hours but this is as good as my Note 10 plus 5G was

One of the best battery tips I was given years ago was to turn Off the battery % sign in the Status Bar so your not drawn to it, and just enjoy the phone.

Don't get me wrong I do use some battery saving tips but I refuse to dumb down a phone by turning off features I want just to be able to squeeze it for more screen on time.

Here's my latest - mind you, my usage was very low this time but it seemed to go forever, time/day-wise!


Also, I've decided for the first time in my Note (hell, Android) history (>15 years) to start actually exercising my battery! Duh! I have always been one of those "just throw it on the charger whether it really need it or not" types, just to get it topped off... ALWAYS! Sacrilege, I know... but that's always been me! Since we started keeping track of the battery usage on these new Note 20 Ultra's, I said "That's it, I'm going to start running this thing down 'til it NEEDS a charge, THEN charge it! It's not too difficult either... don't know why it took me FIFTEEN years???

Here's my question, I've been using my Note 9 wireless pad (45w) OR my trucks USB cable to recharge most of the time and, from 25 -35% starting point to 100%, it's been taking 4 t0 5 hours!!! This morning I sat down for my first cup of coffee at 8:15 AM at the Kitchen Island and noticed the phone was at 21%... yikes! I had stuff to do so I remembered I had the wall charger and cable (25w) that came with the Note20 Ultra, sitting in a basket right next to me. I grabbed it, plugged it into one of the island side outlets and continued on. I did about 15 minutes of stuff and put it down and switched to my SurfacePro. At 9:20AM, it was at 100%... wth??? How can the 25w charger crank the thing up that quickly???

NOTE: I think it was 10:20AM, not 9:20AM, when I took it off the charger - sorry! Testing again this morning! 9/18

On utube, SAKITECH posted a hack that a viewer recommended. It's a bixby hack that pushes battery to medium whilst still keeping 120mhz adaptive feature toggled. I'm actually getting slightly longer battery times now finally.

I never did like his videos. It's not anyone thing, but mostly a combination of his late posts, uninviting production and quality, and his info always seemed to be inaccurate or at least inconsistent. I tried to stick with his channel for a while, but then I realized I was wasting my time because I was getting more thorough info and more appealing quality videos, from other channels.

But to each their own.

Is that a good or bad thing ?

I'll take a passing look at his videos but most of them just are repairing themselves when a new phone is released

Gets clicks i assume !

Not really a fan either tbh!
