[Kelly Kearns]

Hi everybody, does anybody know what the App optimization does? If an app is always optimized, what does it mean? What if I switch the optimization to the automatic mode? Whats the difference and what option iss the best?

Here is an explanation of it.

You have got to post screenshots from your phone. You need the battery graph, and the first page of the GSam graph. Pictures from a tablet are not clear and are sideways.

Now also, what we are going to end up needing is you to post these screenshots when you get ready to recharge. You are going to need to just run your phone like normal, then capture everything before you charge. Right now it looks like your phone idles fine but when you start using it, it is losing a lot of battery.

what shoul i do now?

 

[Kelly Kearns]

Well you need to use the phone some. Right now you have been idling a long time, so it is hard to tell if it is dropping a lot while using it. You will need to use it, do all the screenshots right before you get ready to recharge.

If you are only using the phone for a couple hours in 24 hours, your phone battery is going to last a few days.

What problems are you experiencing?

 

[s6edge]

ok


i just have this battery draining problem

Something isn't right with your GSam. You need to clear the data on that and let it start calculating again with your next charge.

He probably rebooted his phone.

I don't see a reboot in the phone battery graph he posted though and he is set for "full charge". My GSam got really screwy not too long ago and I had to reset it.

I'm not sure what you don't understand about time. The battery lasts how long it lasts and phone idle is part of the time and again, a day is 24 hours and people can have their phone last longer than 24 hours.

I generally charge by the time it is at 30% even if I could let it go overnight. I don't like letting my battery drop down below 30%.

Charging your phone, unplugging it and going to bed, isn't pretending anything. Your phone isn't used while sleeping and many don't charge it overnight most of the time.

Yeah. That's my point!!! If I charge my phone and go to bed full, unplugged, after 8 hours, EIGHT HOURS, it drops 2-3%. . My point is these graphs and charts etc mean ZERO for someone that does that.

For instance. I did just what I said above. Then got up, used my phone pretty hard for most of the day. By the time I was done work and driving home, I had a graph that showed I had used my phone for 18 hours and 27 minutes and was down to 12% battery. Pretty damned awesome right!?!?

Ok. Now same thing except this time I left my phone plugged in until I got up. So I didn't have 8 hours of phone on with only 2-3% loss despite idle use.

Good. We've established that.

So I unplug my phone at 530am, start using it again SAME as last test. Now, this time, I get home at 530 pm and guess what? I'm at 12 hours, 22 minutes, and have 14% battery left on my computer graphs and stats.

How can that be? My actual USE was about the same and yet, I got 6 hours less, about 4 hours OF SOT between the two.

I think you see my point. If I only drop 2-3% in 8 hours of non use of course when I actually use it I am getting REAL stats.

So again, the point was simple. Posting stats doesn't say much given what I proved above.

Usage is usage. I can 100% guarantee that if you use this device as much as I do and in the ways I use it, as a phone and email device, productivity device, you're not going above 15 hours. No how. No way.

And how do I know? We deploy more than 18 of these phones across our Salesforce and they all same the same thing. Using it as productivity device (isn't that how it's promoted?), you're not going over 15 and I doubt above 13-14 without getting into the red.

The KILLER thing about the Note 5 is quick charge capability. Putting it on a quick charger for 20 minutes you'll get an additional 1.5-2.5 hours. That's pretty bad ***.
