Samsung Galaxy Note 9: Will This Be A Game Changer For Samsung?

[1982-1994]

Apart frm limiting apps being active in the background, any other tips to achieve your amazing battery life (idle time 2 days plus, screen on > 6 hours)?

Developer's options > 'background check' >manually untick all.
The difference between using HD+ and WQHD+is 2hrs of SOT only.
Not sure does blue filter plays a part too.
And fast charge is untick too.
I'm not a S-pen person, so I disabled all my S-pen settings.

I'm attracted to the slim bezels ,battery capacity and storage. Of course other than Samsung pay.

Hmm will unchecking everything affect anything?

Haha you have to trial and error I guess.
It is logical that lesser notifications lesser tax on battery too.
My methods on battery saving is quite extreme.
Like example , my WhatsApp notify me only when I go in and see.

And I never logged into my Google account. I rely on dropbox and apk.
My usage is browsing and music, while holding the impressive amoled.

Stop using chrome as it really sucks alot of juice. I'm very surprised at the power efficiency of brave browser. It blocks ads too, just give it a try.

Not many users would agree with my way of battery saving method. Lol

Is this normal? My VPN is sucking up battery.

 

[1982-1994]

Yes.
Attracted to note 9.

But
I need my phone to have
'Expense manager' to track my daily expenses.
'business calendar' to have a clear look on my schedule for the month.
And 'pulsar' to rate my favorite music.

All these are only on android.

Battery usage based on HD+ and FPS set for Samsung pay so I can just scan and pay.

Abnormal for the span of about 14hrs with screen 3hrs.
Screen should be on top.

You will only get a notification when the item has been placed into the popstation and you know which popstation locker to collect from. No point sending you an email without knowing which locker to collect the item from before the item has been placed into the locker.

Your Express VPN is draining way too much.
What is your VPN used for cos I personally tried this VPN in China and it didn't work too much.?
Try uninstalling it and see how it goes.

Having some weird bugs on my Note 9.

1) When charging, the screen doesn't auto switch off eventho screen timeout is set to 30 secs. Always on display has also been disabled.

2) Also when unlocking my phone using biometrics, it automatically goes to my secure folder - skipping the homescreen and launcher.

Anyone facing these weird issues?

Those of you who do not use Bixby and scared to hit the button accidentally, you can actually disable it under developer's options > background check > Bixby
