Fellow members I made this video after delving deeply into my S9 plus to see what was causing the most battery drain, some of the things I found have not been mentioned by other reviewers or YouTubers. For example the Google apps drain the battery fast and you need to know what to disable or deny permission to which I have covered in my video below. Another Tip is using the Samsung Browser instaed of the Chrome Browser gives you the option of night mode which saves on battery life again. I achieved 50% more standby time from the tips I have mentioned in this video.
The video can be viewed HERE: https://youtu.be/Mqn-LxBct6M
Please feel free to share any tips you have found in the comments below

I love Battery Monitor Widget it give me detail battery usage info of my N1. However I would like to compare with other N1 and Desire user of their battery performance.
I am not intend to conduct a systemic research but only a end user point of view and feel of our own battery states.
I would like to invite the other to provide the following simple info of your phone:
- Model
- ROM, version, kernel (if not bundle from the ROM itself)
- any apps using to control battery, eg: setCPU, toggle2G etc
- the min current consumption from your observation. (probable at night, someone may say some will disable the APN/Wifi and even in plane mode, I don't want to complicate this "simple" experience sharing, since data will tell the story)
- upload the History file to Paste Bin
I will going to upload mine one in short while and hope we can share our usage experience.
N1 Battery Monitor Widget result sharing
- N1
- CM7 nightly, [.37.3] intersectRaven's Kernel
- setCPU, toggle2G
- -20-30mA when sleep, usually with APN/Wifi off
- battery history file: http://pastebin.com/CVzbkE46
I have an idea for an app, hereby going under the name of "stats-projector", but I'm no developer and do not wish to be either. I'll just throw the ball in and hope someone runs with it.
To explain the idea I'll start with explaining my inspiration for it:
Some years ago i played battlefield. In the bf-forums you could dl an app that synced your bf-stats to your forums profile. The basic stats were displayed below your avatar. If you clicked the stats you would go to a page showing more stats.
My idea is an add-on to the tapatalk xda-app that acesses your stats and sync them to your xda profile in the same manner as the bf-stats. Stats to show could be rom, kernel, bootloader, battery stats, uptime, usage monitor's output, running services and all other easy accessible stats. Such stats you'd monitor with a simple monitoring program dl:ed from market.
Why?
-Ppl like to brag with their setup and stats (me included)
-In dev's threads you'd be able to skip over much trivial exhange of info and save LOTS of time.
-Your reason added here
Why an add-on to tapatalk xda-app?
-Because to me it seems illogical for the stats-app to sync when a member isn't online.
-Privacy issues. You'd not wanna flaunt as to currently be running the service of xhamster.com webplayer (if any exists, just an example).
-I'd like the stats-projector to sync only when refreshing xda-app, or even more seldom (customizable), to reduce battery drain.
-In a future it would be possible to use the stats-projector with other forums that use tapatalk. Why stay with xda when we can have the entire Android commynity?
Misc:
*I want the stats-projector to be highly customizable, for privacy reasons and for reasons of battery drainage and data usage. These matters shouldn't be allowed to scare users away.
*I want the stats-projector to be skinnable and themeable, because ppl like that ****.
*I want much more, which I'll add when I come up with it.
*I want all the above because it will make the stats-projector a given add-on that most ppl use out of pure instinct.
I've tried this idea on a couple of ppl and posted this thread to try it on a larger crowd. Discuss and tell me in the thread if I should alter or add anything.
Also, plz help me find a snappier name for the app.
Almost 500 views and not a comment. Can anyone at least tell me it's a bad idea?

I have android app development experience. Developing the app shouldn't be hard.
But I think an individual app will be easier. I am not sure (technically) how to access the resource of the tapatalk app. tapatalk must expose a intent service which can be called from the addon.
Tik hai, you're right. That's easier. There must also be cooperation on the part of xda-forum who must incorporate the projected stats in webpage for it to work.
I'll list stats I find relevant to include:
Kernel
ROM
Uptime
Battery use graph
Baseband
Storage overview
Time
Ringtone
Location?

I think this is a great idea, and might put an end to all the favorite ROM threads if you can have it poll the server and generate a list of who uses what.
Unfortunately I have no experience with programming and can't help with actual development.

the main problem with this is that people change roms and kernels sometimes up to 5 times a day. So keeping these stats are not really gonna be reliable.
Users can set poll frequency.

Hi there,
There are so many applications of this type is very difficult that we can recommend something concrete. The most useful would be to test several apps and stop at the one you find most useful for your device.
See few bellow, first one is most appreciated from users:
[APP][4.0+] Greenify v2.6.1 Final (Updated on Mar.29)
[APP][TEQTIC][2.3+] LeanDroid - The most efficient battery saver
[APP] [2.2+] Deep Sleep Battery Saver (Ver 4.0.838)
Best Battery Saver App Ever!!
ROOT][[2.2+][15.0.1] OPG Pro is a top, excellent, brilliant battery saver.
For other questions you must register an account on XDA.
good luck
I am looking for a watch face for my Fit 2 Pro that displays battery life, heart rate, weather, steps, time and date.. Much more and I find it gets hard to read. I can live without the weather. Any suggestions?
I'd be surprised if there's not a face out there that has all that included, however it may be tough finding one. If you cannot find such a face, I'd recommend designing your own with the Gear Watch Designer. While the gui takes a little getting used to, its a fairly easy program to use, especially if you take the time to watch the tutorial on YouTube and use the docs on the Samsung dev site as needed.

Ps. Sorry I didn't include links to those resources, I can't post links yet.
Hello everyone!
Samsung has launched a new suite of device optimization apps for Galaxy smartphone and tablet owners called Galaxy Labs. Like Good Lock, which lets you customize various elements of the user interface, Galaxy Labs is a container of sorts that lets you access the actual apps that let you optimize your device from a single location. There are four apps: File Guardian, Battery Tracker, Battery Guardian, and App Booster.
You can read the full article at @SamMobile
They seem to work on my S9+. Only Battery Tracker is crashing. Going to play with them a little bit later. If anyone wants to try, can download them from @SamMobile or my mirror from MEGA below

Battery Tracker not working!!?
Yeah, It seems to crash, I forgot to mention in the first post. But, also, with all my respect...After testing, I could say those apps, at least for the moment, are useless and can be considered bloatware.
