I have AT&T LTE version on rooted 4.1.2 with Greenify and I'm about the same, 5 hours of screen time with data off. It's not great battery life, but not sure that I can do much to improve it.
so do you think thats normal battery life but some say to get 8 hours surfing web on wifi

My device is new and I've tried breaking in the battery. Rooted it and froze any potential battery killing apps. Use it on low screen brightness. Getting 5-6 hours screen time. I have to believe that its normal, but I can't say 100% for sure.
I believe the Note 8 with LTE tends to drain battery faster because of radio feature. I have a Verizon Galaxy 7.7 that also drains battery faster than the non-LTE version.
My Galaxy Note 8 (non-LTE) gives about 9 hours with wifi on and 40% brightness. However the tablet is non-rooted (if that matters).

Yes, data over a cell network uses more power than over WiFi.

There is no such thing as "breaking in the battery" for this type of battery. Li ion batteries do not need to be conditioned like the old NiCad type batteries.
All I would recommend on a new device, is to calibrate the battery meter on the phone itself: charge to full, leave it on the charger to ensure any top-off charge is achieved (maybe 30 min or more after "full" is indicated). Than drain to 10 or 20%. This sets the "high" and "low" flags for the battery meter, so the meter is more accurate. But it doesn't change your actual battery life (just like fiddling with a car's gas gauge doesn't mean there is magically more gas in the tank).
After calibrating the meter, the best thing for battery life on a Li ion battery, is frequent short charges, as opposed to full discharge cycles.
Same Issue
Same problem here. I have 9 month old Note 8.0 wifi only. Battery life has always been atrocious. Drains 1% every 1-2 minutes of basic use By basic use, I mean internet browsing, 20% screen brightness, no other apps open, all major tasks killed. This is absolutely pathetic for a $400 tablet. If I play any sort of game, such as Candy Crush, we're talking 1% every minute. I've never gotten through an entire movie.
I finally got so fed up that I sent it in to Samsung for service. I haven't gotten it back yet, but I received an email back saying the repair was a "software upgrade." I find that hard to believe. I will post again with the results after I get the device back. My satisfaction with the Note 8 is a 1 out of 10. I wish I would have gotten an Ipad mini or Google Nexus.
I find it unusual that some of you guys have abysmal battery life. On my Note 8 I get amazing battery life, with average to heavy usage I don't have to charge it for a couple days.
I also only got it a couple weeks ago; maybe Samsung changed something inside the Note 8 since the release earlier this year?
I have a Note 8.0 WIFI that was made as an early release US model.
Like any Phone... Apps, GPS, WIFI, SD card, and Screen brightness all are factors in power drain.
I try to stay away from apps that have ads built in. Even small tickler or banner ads can cause battery drain and privacy issues.
Even though you may not see the GPS indicator being active, apps will poll GPS time to time.
In testing some apps, I found that most banking apps are too taxing on my device. Believe it or not Paypal, and Chase are real buggers to your privacy and consume more than what their apps are worth.
Bone stock with no SD card, the device consumed a lot of battery power between the first few power cycles.
I figured there must be a lot of services running in background to optimize and finish configuration of the OS.
Once that settled charging and running on battery smoothed out.
I am able to get 10% drain per hour on normal operation. WIFI always enabled, SD card installed, and lots n lots of apps installed as well.
Just surfing with power saving enabled, LEDs on, Eye watch activated, SD card installed, GPS enabled, and brightness on auto at +3, I can get about 5% battery drain every 40 to 45 minutes.
As for videos using internal speakers, I get 10% drain every 25 minutes... As the display brightness increases and speakers are at 3 with full Viper optimization.
To me being the slimmest and lightest 8 inch device, it gets pretty good battery time. One thing to note, if you feel the left side getting warm... it means you consuming power and to expect the battery to be consumed much faster.

Hi,
I have N5100 too bought from indiatimes.
Here is what I did to get better battery life out of my note 8.0
1) Go to Settings -> Developer options - > use 2 background processes
2) Do not put Auto brightness, Set the brightness to 20% it will be still be good enough
3) backup and reset - > uncheck everything
4) Google account - > put sync on first in the notification bar and then go to your google accounts and uncheck everything, then disable the "auto sync" from the notification bar
5) Sound - haptic feedback off , vibration , move everything to minimum ..
6) GPS - off , use only when required
7) Developers options - > unknown sources (check only when you need , otherwise uncheck it ) , verify apps - uncheck it
8) Open Google maps, go to settings , uncheck the location services
9) go to youtube app - go to settings - uncheck anything that has syncing options
10) Screen time out 30 seconds
11) Since you said you mentioned that you are using Greenify . I am assuming you are rooted. So you can greenify almost all apps except the launcher and the ones which you use frequently.
12) you can use Rom tool box pro or root cleaner to freeze ( maps , google contact sync, bookmark sync, yahoo finance, hangouts (if you dont use ) , kies , talkback, chrome, google play music , google + , alarm , drm , samsung account , samsung push , samsung print , weather widget, sns, fw upgrade , yahoo news
13) use system control pro app where you can set the governor to pegausq min 200 Mhz, and max 1600 Mhz
14) Go to settings - more settings - Mobile networks - use GSM mode , dont use both WCDMA/GSM
15) Go to google play - > settings - > uncheck auto update apps and also notifications ,,
16) Go to all the google apps and check for any settings that use frequent checking.
17) Use UC browser it is really good for browsing and many options.
18) When charging the Note 8.0 charge it from 0 to 100 in one stretch and dont connect to charger unless it drops below 3%. If it is getting switched off by itself no problem.
19) Go to settings - > Date and Time - > Uncheck everything
20) Go to Settings - > S pen - > Check the option - > Disabling pen detection when pen is attached can extend battery life.
Clear everything in memory in RAM before you leave the note idle.
Before you can do all this. It is better you install the right firmware.
For me XCMH2 gave good battery life. Now X note build. Below is the link to that thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2345299
Wipe data , wipe cache , wipe dalvic cache , do it two times in that order.
then you flash the X note build and go through all those steps.
If you do it right I am sure you will not have many wakelocks and you will get better screen on time than 5 hours.
when I did all this the highest I got was 9 hours 26 minutes (7 days).. few months. On an average I was getting 8 and half hours..screen on time with 6 days battery life .. Max standy I got was 15 days battery life with 7 and half screen on .time ..
Your note has to sleep when you are not using. then you can get good standby time and also good screen on time.
) Note 8.0 is really an awesome device. Enjoy!

Woah! That is way too many things to adjust... Get greenify app, and startup manager app... and be done with it. I get 8% an hour and 12% an hour with miracast movies to my tv. Having sync on... to go and do sync settings manually is a time consumer... just turn off sync at the quick buttons. Make sure blue tooth and Sat are off. Brightness is manual setup to be be bright enough to give good detail and whites on movies. I leave it alone so it is never an issue on adjusting for most lighting conditions.
I added a simple tool to give wifi data speeds... so I can see how often high rates of data are downloaded. Most of the time small packets of data are always being sent for network discovery and authorization, along with apps like email and what not.

Gosh, I have been posting bits here and there, and nobody cares until now. HA!
OK, I will do a simple rundown.
OEM or stock firmware only.
Saferoot
Xposed framework
Wanam Xposed
Startup Manager for Xposed
Greenify Plus for Xposed.
Geenify
Security 360 Antivirus (Very robust app for its size, like having 5 apps in one)
Trickster Mod Pro
RootCloak and Substrate (Non-Xposed version)
Now that I have the main components listed, what to do.
Turn off in Application Manager... Will require swiping all the way to All.
Google Play Music - If updated you will need to uninstall before turning off.
Google Contacts Sync
Briefing
Clock (digital)
Favorite Apps
Flipboard
World Clock
Yahoo! Finance
Yahoo! News
In Greenify, tap on menu. I have added an Xposed module to make all apps have a three dot or line menu, so you may not see the menu without it, as I have no clue to what any app looks like without the xposed module running. There should be an option to create a shortcut. It will place an automated greenify all launcher. It will greenify any app that can be put to sleep. In settings you can do experimental options to greenify.
Both greenify and security 360 have a sleep or end function, they work together at eliminating apps from running in background and memory starvation.
If you find an app that is always running after boot up that you may not be able to manage in either app, Startup Manager in Xposed may offer a startup disable for the app, though not all apps are covered in the list. It is fairly simple just tap on the app and once it is highlighted it will not start during startup.
Security 360 will allow further actions, though it has an easier interface than greenify. You can add both user apps and system apps to the ignore list or remove them as well.
I would be very careful on removing system apps from the default list.
With all that set I keep everything setup automated... email, wifi, and syncing.
Though I keep my google account setup to not do much but sync calender for syncing Samsung calender simultaneously.
Once you kill all the google automation in your online google account... you may remove Google +, as I never liked it and don't use it, the options on your tablet will be in effect, so make sure what settings you have on your tablet are what you want before making online changes.
I left Samsung account active so I can get automated updates. With everything else pretty much running nicely without any glitches.
I have my powersaver setup with everything enabled, and no automatic dimming. Pretty much like the previous poster I commented on. 20% is more than enough for my viewing conditions.
With my settings the way they are, I use the tablet without thinking of turning this or that on unless I am using miracast or file sharing.
PS... I have GPS on for apps that require it. Even though it is enabled, it is off until I start an app that needs GPS location info. It seems only 4 apps that I use pull from GPS. Google Maps, HD widgets,YP, and a Navi app. I have disabled internet location settings, as they are unimportant. Knowing which apps will pull location info during use makes it easier to control location than expecting games and browsers tell me what they are doing.

Glad to know your battery life improved and you can try for even better screen on time and also in terms of days. I have put up some screen shots for your reference in the attachment. Please check.
I forgot few tips there
Converting Google play services,
Google Bookmark Sync,
Google Contact Sync,
Google Calendar sync
Google Chrome
to user app (they are system apps)
but not to worry, you can convert them to user apps.
what you can do is
1) Uninstall Google play services and Google chrome that came installed with the firmware
2) Install Google play services and Google chrome from aptoide.apk app , convert it to user app (in case if it is showing in system app)
How to convert Google play services to to user app?
If you have ROM toolbox pro latest version 5.9.5 or 6.0.3 you can open app manager in that , then just do a single click you will have bunch of options, swipe your screen to right then you will see more options where you can see below there will be option , convert to user app
3) Xposed frame work (latest version)
4) download and install call recording mod (if you need, its worth)
5) download and install greenify and check the option in xposed frame work (activate it)
6) Install Android firewall
once you convert all of those system apps to user apps, freeze them.
Google play services - dont freeze. freeze the rest ..
Max battery life achieved on my Note in terms of days was 15 days but i lost the screenshot , my second highest was 11days and odd..
Note:- I don't use power saving, flight mode , no battery doctor , no wake lock detector.. I use ONLY greenify with Xposed framework and I freeze the battery sapping apps.
Before turning off the screen, I make sure I have closed all apps from recent apps and then clear some ram from task manager just to ensure there are no wakelocks.
So far it worked out wonders and my battery life is excellent and very happy with my Note 8.0 after 11 months of usage.
Battery drain is 1% or may be 2% in 10 hours standby .. and that helps in prolonging battery longevity over 4 days , 7 days , 10days or even 15 days.. If you have battery drain overnight then your Note will come for 1 or 2 days but by curbing the battery drain over night you can get it running for 4 to 7 days easily with excellent screen on time.
I am currently on firmware X-Note 5.1 4.2.2 and use my Note for watching Videos, Songs, games, reading Flipboard, Google play stand, S-Note, PDF reader , editor ,
I got screen on time of 11hrs 12min in 4days 20h..., previous highest screen on time was 11hr 6m, and before that 9hrs 26min (stock firmware)
XDA developers is great forum, after going through lot of posts by developers these are the tips that worked wonders. converting system apps to user app was something I found out from other developers in XDA , i was hesitant at first but when I did it eventually I was extremely satisfied and you can see the results.
I hope you can get ever better results..
the fastest my note 8 drainning only in 30 minutes screen on
Drainning very fast ... with 100% brightness and disable power saving mode

Bad battery life
Hello, I'm a long time lurker and a new member here. I bought this phone a week ago and I have a strange issue with it.
Honestly I have no idea where else to look for help, I've asked in several posts over on reddit and fb to no avail. I'll try to describe the issue to the best of my abilities.
Anyways, I've noticed that when I switch between apps there is a momentary flicker or increase in brightness of the screen. I searched for a while and found that the screen refresh rate drops to 90hz for a moment and goes back up again. I tried setting the display to 60 hz and the issue disappeared. I tried setting it to 90hz with SetEdit and the brightness increased a bit. As if the brightness setting for 90hz mode is a bit higher than 60 or 120 if that makes sense.
I have 2 videos below one in 120hz mode and the other in 60hz. The camera exaggerates the effect a bit but it's visible with the naked eye in low to moderate lighting conditions i.e indoor use.
https://imgur.com/a/idsj8UO
note that in 120hz mode the refresh rate drops to 90hz for a moment.
Is this normal or do I have a defective unit?
Thanks in advance

As for the Hz drop, this is normal when using this phone because it offers adaptive refresh rate (drops from 120Hz to 90Hz when you switch between apps). As for the flicker/brightness change, it does this to me too so I am guessing it's either a bug or just a result of the implementation of the adaptive refresh but can't be sure about that.

Sorry for the long delay. I am pretty sure you can follow this tutorial for this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Xiaomi/comments/munn6k
. However, I am not 100% it is permanent so you will probably have to do it and see if it changes after a few days.

It ain't permanent... Just switch to any aosp rom. I'm tired of ****king memeui.
I installed it for performance and convenience of many more features but dumb stuff like this is unbearable at this point. I've tried many more stuff other than this and usually just downloading setprop app and changing user_refresh_rate value to 0 disables refresh rate switching. But only for a while , doesn't survive reboots and locking screen or opening certain blackilsted apps like mobile legends and such that are hard locked by miui at certain screen refresh rates....
Do yourself a favour and uninstall Miui

Anyone else notice the phone also got super snappy and smooth all the time? I tried turning on show refresh rate an hour ago just to find out the phone never go back down to 60hz.
I tried not touching the screen untill it actually auto lock, opening youtube, netflix, tiktok, chrome, settings etc etc. I even rebooted and no change. Battery life has been slightly better which is kinda weird though.
Also i checked twice, the force peak refresh rate is turned off.
Try clearing the system cache.

I just checked my phone (updated to .037), and the refresh rate is still dropping to 60hz whenever there is no input, so the adaptive refresh rate still works on my end.
My phone is dropping to 60 when there's no input as well. I just played a YouTube video and it went to 60.
On my device i have the exact same problem. As you already described, it is "always" on 120hz - it only jumps down to 60 Hz for a very brief moment, then again reaches the 120hz. This cicle is repeating itself as long as the display is turned on.
I already tried disabling all overlay services and other settings that could, as far as I could think of, have an impact on these behavior, like apps that have access to usage or device controll etc.
But as for now, I don't have a solution for this.
The strange part is that i also have a better display on time since the last update, but after checking the battery temperature for the last week (i installed the .037 on thursday) it reaches higher temperatures now as it was before the update, with around 34 Celsius on .036 vs 38 Celsius on .037 after around an hour of the same activities in the mostly same environment. The temperature difference does make sense for me, because the screen won't chill as it should. On the other hand, the longer battery life does'nt seem to fit too well in this picture.

As far as we know, it's currently buggy anyway, since the
Pixel 6 Pro is consuming more power in 60Hz mode than in 120Hz one*

Pixel 6 Pro Consuming More Power In 60Hz Mode Than In 120Hz One
The Google Pixel 6 Pro seems to be consuming more power in 60Hz mode, than it does in 120Hz mode. Needless to say, this is not normal, as higher refresh

*in certain scenarios, like low brightness
Battery life tests have also shown that there is only a minor difference in battery life between 60hz or 120hz, so it doesn't really matter and you should - because of that - 120hz anyway since it's a much better experience.
Anyone from the UK had this update yet?
I only ask because I don't have any major issues and fingers crossed this update doesn't make anything worse.

Officially it's only a rollout in the USA and Canada, it will come to the rest of the world with the December update (or you manually sideload it, as I did).

Adaptive refresh is totally borked on the 6Pro.
