I reported again my problem with Samsung
But because i live in Cyprus technical support is for trash
When i had nexus 5x and it got bootloop deasese i had to pay 180€ for a new motherboard
And they said that there was not official statement for that problem ... Now the same gonna hapen with my s9 they gonna kick me out of warranty for no reason

You can never be sure about it. Remember to not become emotional when you speak to them.
You should still try and RMA it. I don’t know how hard it is with samsung, but it’s better to try and fail, than not trying at all...

/edit

I take back what i said earlier. After a factory reset "to fix some other issue" i now get 4 and a half / 5 hours of SoT, instead of 6 to close 7.
I don't remember owning an phone this frustrating ever.

Screen On Time was lot better on 9.0 Beta version. Post release of final build it has fallen below 4 hours. I am a heavy user of YouTube and Asphalt 9 and so can easily note the difference.

yes(for most people)
I don't know about the Snapdragon variant (but for Exynos is crapy)
I am wondering about custom roms how good is the battery there...
I want to try them but I will lose my warranty

it's not like google pixel which you gonna restore it with factory image and lock the bootloader and they ain't gonna find it that easy... on Samsung, the Knox will trip
and you gonna loose Samsung pay and health (Samsung pay I don't care since it is not supported in my country but for the s health I find it useful)

I have a question here in Cyprus is the only country which if they don't find anything wrong about the phone or if its faulty by your own fault they gonna charge you 25 up to 75 euros for doing nothing?
(Apple charges 30-35 depends on product, samsung 25-30, and Asus 75 for everything even for 120 euro phone :laugh: :silly: )

I guess it depends on multiple factors.
Depends on company, product, and law, and a few others.
For example, if i have an faulty Samsung fridge in the Netherlands, they will come and check it free of charge the first time.
If you complain again, they come, and don't find anything, you will have to pay. They do warn you however, and customer support aint that bad.
In the Netherlands, we usually don' get charged for RMA.

Disappointed with the SOT on this phone..

Even my iPhone 6 which has smaller battery can have 8 hours SOT..

4 hours and 50 minutes SOT with 25% battery remaining is considered Good. Your expectations are way too high.

about 3-5 hours a day at school with earphones, 98% of the music there is downloaded!
plus i found a way to fix battery drain! (trip the Knox and install the lightROM !)
still 39% left!

I would like to contradict all those who speak badly about this phone because I was almost not to buy it. The battery is normal for me with other phones. Many do not buy it because of the bad reviews about the battery but at least with Android 9 it is highly acceptable.

Yeaap me too. Pie indeed had some improvements for battery life, especially in standby time.
In oreo, I barely get 4h SOT @15%, and now it ranges from 4h to even 5h sometimes.

And in my opinion, just enjoy your s9, because the more someone complain, the more they wont be contented, considering all that speed it offers and the screen quality it brings, just superb

qusai1993 · Feb 19, 2019

I'm liking my first charge after pie

I have S9 snapdragon unlocked
FHD+
tap to wake AOD
Bluetooth always connected to a smart watch
4G is always active and wifi at home automatically turns on

Bixby wakeup and ok google are on

I can't upload the screenshot for some reason but the numbers are like this

Battery level: 22%
Time since unplugged: 18 h 26 m ago

my daily SOT... my SOT so SAD

been like this since bough it 7 months ago

I am thinking about claiming the battery at service centre ...

FHD 1080p only
AOD only 30 seconds when its touched
Location sometimes on depends
No wifi at all .. all unecessary app off in the backgroud if not use..
Casual whatsapp and instagraming.all notif off except mail and chat.
Exynos version

fabiok81 · Feb 22, 2019

I think you have something wrong with your settings..perhaps something in your battery settings or apk sincronization.
I've not AOD active, half of the time in 4G, but i've a lot of apk installed (168).
Have you got Android Pie?

Obviously ExynosView attachment 4710230

I never reach 3 hours SOT, I have Exynos variant and every day both ANDROID SISTEMS and ANDROID OS register a massive battery usage. I don't know my phone drain so much the battery. Any ideas?

I brought a S9 in Aug 2018 and it was working fine, getting a SOT around 4+ Hours till mid Dec however since then the SOT has dropped to 2-2.5 hours. Majority of the battery is been drained through Andriod System. Battery drain during night when its Ideal is around 30-40% in 7 hours stand by. Have taken the phone to the Samsung service center on 20th Feb after following all suggestions on different forums. Got the phone back after a day and working fine for a couple of days but then on Friday evening it was back to doing the Android System drain.

Got it back today to the service center and they are not ready to accept that there is a problem. Have forced them to look at the issue after talking to Samsung Customer care and will wait for tomorrow to collect the phone and see if something has improved.

For any one facing this issue can you check one more bit on the Phone. When you open your messages and read a message it flips back to the message home screen. Mine would not even let me type a message. It can take from 30 sec to 2 min for this to refresh.

sprintomatic · Feb 28, 2019

After pie update, SOT went down to 3hrs from 5hrs. No new apps, same settings. Very disappointing. phone used to last all day, now its like the S6, dies half day. Never buying samsung product again.

You may have seen that the S10 has an impressive battery life, and it's a huge improvement over the galaxy S9, even the note 9 in some cases...
