Do you know if there is a way to have "the real" time life of a note 20 ultra (with phone info maybe or with a "secret code"?The important is that with a reset the person that will sell the handy ill not be able to reste that time life
Any tips?
Thank's
Helen
No... Too many variables.
You could try some information software that shows battery cycles, as this is what generally goes on the phone, but there is no way to know.
It's like asking for your end of life date.

What happens when the battery no longer keeps a good amount of juice?
Since the battery is not user replaceable, will Samsung replace the battery for a charge?
To those who bought their Tab 7.0 in the Philippines, have you asked Samsung about this and what was their reply?
I'm curious too.
I know that whenever the battery does not hold a good amount of juice
this tablet will seem like a dinosaur anyway and I will want to replace it
but still, I might want to give it to an older relative or something so I
would like to know if Samsung could replace the battery.
Hey all, I could not find an answer to this anywhere so I figured I would ask here. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 from Sprint (SM-N910P) and I have an extended battery, very specifically the ZeroLemon 10,000mAh battery case for the Note 4.
Now, having a 10k mAh is life at it's finest, really it is. I go 3 days with a single charge. Even under heavy use, I still get ~2 before needing a fill up. As it usually goes with beautiful things though, the personality is the problem, with a rose it's the thorns, and with this beautiful battery, Android is the beast in the shadows.
The original battery that comes with my Note 4 is a 3220 mAh battery, and the battery I am currently using is more than three times larger. My original battery would get to 15% which meant that it would maybe have another hour of low use and then would die. At 15% battery life on the big kahuna of batteries however, 15% can be as much as a full day of normal use for me.
Here is where Android rears its wonderful, ugly head. Artificially imposed feature limitations based on battery percentage. These are things such as no flash on camera, no video recording, no camera use at all, automatic dimming of screen, greyscale mode(truly a horror to behold), etc.
I have not found an answer on the world wide series of tubes which leads me to believe it is a programmed, hard-coded thing, and not a setting to be toggled. Which ultimately (insert drum roll), brings me here. Is there, in the vast wealth of knowledge that is XDADev, a way to disable, nay, ELIMINATE, this annoyance, this... petty guidance giving by Android when it was not asked for?
The answer, hopefully, preferably, etc. would be a ROM that I could slap down upon my device like the mighty Mjolnir* that makes ME the king of my phone's battery life, that gives ME the freedom to use my camera at 1% battery life if I so choose, that would, in theory give my the power of Thor**.
Thanks for any help y'all can give.
*not actually slap it down, I would worry about my screen breaking
**not actually the power of Thor, just limited control of the pixies in my phone battery, lightning bolts scare me
Still haven't found any solutions on my own. Not super code savvy, but I have been digging through the Android source to see if I could find where those limitations are set.
Anyone have ideas or pointers for me?
Also, bump.
I got an SM-G920I, which obtained on my carrier. The device has serious battery problems, because it has less than a year of use and the battery is discharged rapidly. No lasts beyond 12 hours with something like 2-3hrs SOT.
The technical service of my carrier is horrible, often they delivered reconditioned devices as new and sometimes even cost make them understand the problem with the device. Moreover, the Samsung repair service is from third party and only covers devices purchased in their stores. It is why I have been looking on ebay batteries, for replacement by myself.
I wonder if someone has bought a battery (on eBay or Amazon) and has made replacement on its Galaxy S6. You have any references? any manufacturer suggested? any comments?
I have some experience tearing down my galaxys but now that the back cover is glued is a hassle.
You need a heat gun, not just a hair dryer..it is difficult and it weakens the solidity of the phone. ..
My suggestion, first try a factory reset, yours seems to be some battery drain caused by an app or a service or an internal error, 2-3h sot are normal, 12th in sleep are almost normal, something that make me think of a wakelock.
Otherwise contact directly samsung

Well, I understand the incovenient that will get after remove and glue again the back cover, but is a risk I want to take. Also tried factory reset, too many times, also tried different stock roms. Also i know that battery usage is relative "normal" but there are times that when using device is like flushing batter, 10-20% just only in minutes and only reading feeds on wifi.
Generally this is not a big big problem because always are plugs availables to get my fastcharger. But when working on field always have to activate saving mode or even ultra saving. Sometimes get 8 hours on 2 or less SOT so, Its kind weird.
I will make a call to samsung support to check if they could help. But also keep waiting for someone else who has made this replacement. Thanks!
Used to work in a phone repair store myself, and Samsungs are very tricky to do if you've no experience with it. I'd recommend buying the battery, then paying someone to put it in for you
I have been unable to find ANY information about the life expectancy of the batteries in the S2 Classic and the S3 Classic. I even called Samsung and not only could they not give me an answer, but they could not tell me the cost or procedure of having the battery replaced when the time comes. All they could tell me is that I could expect to spend a minimum of @ $70 - their customary out-of-warranty service charge. If I'm going to spend $300 or $350 for a gizmo with a non-user-removable battery, I'd like to know a) the life expectancy, cost and procedure of having that battery replaced. It's one thing to buy an expensive watch for that price that you are going to have for forty years; it's another to spend it on a watch that you'll need to replace in two years. I realize it's wearable tech, not jewelry, but still...
If anyone can help with the info I'm looking for, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Many thanks!

Smart watches use the same battery tech as mobile phones...use that as your battery life proxy.
Battery life is a combination of how often you charge the battery, and how far you deplete it between charges, so no one can tell you what your battery life will be, but you can find great information here to help you understand more about that: http://batteryuniversity.com/
In my experience after 2-3 years my smartphones' batteries have seemed to start to lose some of their "ooomph" (not last as long) and I would expect the batteries in Smartwatches to behave similarly.
Finally, the idea that you'll still want to stick with your S2 in 2-3 more years (any more than most of us keep a smart phone for >2 to 3 years) seems very unlikely - the improvements that are going to come over that time frame to smartwatch features and form-factor (including likely better battery life!) would seem to make the "how long is this battery going to last") question a moot point in most cases. By the time it's starting to wane, you're shopping for a new watch anyway...
I searched this before posting, but the thread had no replies from January so hoping I can gain some insight and clarification on this.
I am new to Android and avoided it for a long time due to being perfectly satisfied with my Blackberry Q10. However a few years ago, I was intrigued by the original Pixel and knew whenever I switched , if I went Android it would be a Pixel. It ended up being a Pixel 2.
I say this because I spend a lot of time googling and researching before i ask a question to make sure i am as familiar as possible before i ask something that can be found just as fast on my own.
That being said, i can't find an answer to "What is a typical capacity loss over a number of months...?"
I just got the phone in January. Didn't know anything about capacity until i noticed a huge drop in expected battery time after unplugging my phone. It used to be 21-23 hours expected from 100%. Now its only about 10-15 hours, depending on the day. Researched batteries and learned about Accubattery. Looked at the health and saw i'm only at 2284 our of 2700. It says GOOD health..but is that really good health after only 3 1/2 months? Also..unfortunately i have no idea what the original real life capacity was because i never checked until End of March when i discovered Accubattery.
Just wondering should i return the phone or accept this level of battery. At this rate..does't seem like I will get through a year on this phone.
ADDITIONAL INFO - I have used 3rd party charging cables (Nekteck)and Samsung bricks. The cables give me roughly the same amount of juice as the charger that came with the phone ( around 1300 Mah max, more juice if I'm charging from a lower percentage start point )

Stop apps from running in the background. Your WhatsApp, Facebook, Marco Polo, weather widgets, etc are using your battery.

I don't have many running in the back. I don't have Marco Polo or Whatsapp. All my others I shut down to and when I check apps are using very low percentage. But my question is more the battery health reading. is 2200 healthy after 3 months use?
Is the phone battery actually draining twice as fast now or is the battery reporting just wrong?
The phone seems to behave normally, but being I'm not an Android user for long I don't know what normal is. I know things differ phone to phone. If I use my screen and read articles the battery drains fast to me. Compared to others who consider reading as light use. I get "better" life if I watch videos. I suppose because I'm not touching the screen. Streaming I can do for hours. I think what I'm trying to understand is...how accurate and important is a battery capacity reading? Should I be concerned that it says im only getting around 2200 out of 2700? For an almost phone I would think the capacity would be closer to the design capacity?

Take a screen shot of the reduced battery capacity reading and send it to Google's customer service from your support menu in the system settings.
