Not happy with battery on new note 9.

[Busy1]

Sorry, still figuring out the Note 9. Hopefully find some kind of benchmark with y'all on here. Thanks

I've had my Note 9 about a week, but just got my number porting straightened out, so I'm using it pretty hard today. Basically setting it up, and manually adding contacts, my choice. It does seem like the battery is a little weak, compared to my S6. I know this phone has way more processing power, and features, but i realize that I'm really going to have to be aware of what I'm doing, until I see what happens. I'm a huge multi-tasker, and the phone handles everything great, just noticing the battery life, seems like it's going fast. I turned off, and optimized everything I can, and have my brightfitness about 40%. I'll try to update on the issue in a week or so. Only other issue I have, is trying to get used to the rounded edges, while typing. Probably just me, having something different.

The first week or two with a new phone WE ALL tend to over use them so it's not the best time to make a judgement on battery use. Even then, I was happy with mine right away though I was going nuts loading all my stuff and setting things up. The standby time from off the charger at 10:00 PM 'til I get up at 8:00ish has always shown about 92-93% in the morning. The Note 9 right away was 96%... I was thrilled. The "Optimized" Mode has really improved over the Note 8, I think!

9.5 hours SOT in 1 day 7 hours (although, with the partial recharge, it's tough to figure) is pretty darned good to me!

Did you restore from a backup?

I wish I could get something close to that. Today I am at 15% with 16 hours on battery, 3 1/2 hours screen time (20%). Android system is at 24%. Per usual, at the top for me
