Hi all ! I have the Samsung Note 8 F version bought from pre-order. I have noticed that after the last update the battery of the phone is much less and above it gets warmer faster. I was curious about the capacity of the battery after a few months of normal charging without a fast charge from 20% to 100%. I read on the live battery topic about fg_cycle and fg_fullcapnom. Now I have 80 cycles with 3130 mAh capacity. I wanted to check this out and I bought the Stick Charge Meter Keweisi. I downloaded the phone at 1%, I close it, attached the stick and started charging. After 2h the LED turns green and the displayed battery charge is 2921 mAh. My question is why so little? Even I have lost in 5 months of using 300mAh or the batteries have a lower value than the declared one. Thank you!

LE:Sorry for my english!

have 2 F models and can't say I've noticed much difference in either of them, haven't done exact measurements though but both always running high performance mode and easily last a 16 hour day with regular 8 hour on screen time, what I have noticed in al my notes since the Note 2 is that after a while the first 10% seems to drop quicker from 100 to 90 but overall very stable, guessing that it is the phones battery management doing that

I also tried AccuBattery.In the application I had 3250 mAh.The calculation method used by this application is erroneous. If you load up to 80% or less will lower your value and if you drop to 100% in time will jump 3300 mAh. You can not check the battery capacity with the phone turned on because it is logical that there will be more consumers and will enter more mAh when charging. I will do a test with this stick charge meter but with the phone open and sure there will be more mAh to the situation when you have the phone closed. AccuBattery recommends that the phone be charged for a real appreciation to be carried on an airplane.

Hi. I have the European dual SIM version of Note 8 SM-950F and also noticed this. Don't know what to do. Here's my AccuBattery info:

We have tested the battery capacity today with the phone open. I downloaded it up to 1%, I installed AccuBattery and connected it to Stick Meter Keweisi. When I made the green LED I pulled the phone from the charger. I mention that as long as the phone was loaded I did not walk to him. I attach the result.I notice the difference between Stick and AccuBattery.

What build are you on? Just thinking if sammy is messing/patching with charging/discharging limits due to the stupid deep discharge?

I have an European version note8.
Accubattery says 3062 mah.
Fg_cycle is 81 and fg_fullcapnom is 3025.

I've had the phone for 4 months. When I bought it fg_fullcapnom was 3250 mah
Is it defective?
