20 Ways To Stop Galaxy S9 Battery Drain! Look to be honest the S9 and S9 Plus are some of the best phones Samsung has ever made, but the battery for some has been questionable, in this video my aim is to help you significantly improve this! These are all 20 things I do to get some of the best battery life possible! If I missed a tip share it with the community!
Nick Ackerman great tips, I would add " clear cache partition" in recovery. It helped also a lot. Also disabling background function of Android systems in app settings!! The problem has to do with background activities in standby. Screen on time is absolutely great but the standby drain is unfortunately not that great..
Guys , if u disable all of that features you better buy a mid-range phone. Where is the taste of a premium phone if i disable for ex AOD or screen rez to 1080 ? etc..etc..
Yeah exactly! Disabling all these features cripples the phone and will lead to a sub par experience. I'd rather charge my phone and have useful features on then go without them. Also if you wanna have a bad, but long lasting experience, you can easily do this with the built-in Samsung battery saver feature. You get all that bad resolution, no connectivity, and no brightness with a tap of a button, you can even go monochrome for full on screen shaming
They will last that long , he even showed you how :20: max power save, will turn your phone to your 13 year old nokia but can go to flagship at press of button ( my samsung j5 at ultra power save 100% = 4.9 days )
I'm in love with this galaxy S9 plus I'm a heavy user with most of the features on and I'm getting some serious mileage out of the battery each day I've yet to kill it with my usage. Typically RUclips throughout the day here and there a lot of social media and a lot of searching on Google and constant texting this thing gets me easy 12 hours with more to go and I don't use the power saving mode yet. I'm curious to see what I can do with that and how many days I can go with that
There are 2 good ways to reduce battery drain: 1- open settings > device maintenance> battery> battery usage> three dots up top > optimize battery usage.. 2- open settings > device maintenance> battery> go down to Always sleeping apps> put all apps into sleep except of apps like whasapp, facebook messenger,... (Apps that you do want to receive notifications from). Thanks.
@@yux.tn.3641 yeah I did that last night when my phone was at 72% and woke up to a dead phone. I've notice my phone gets really hot from time to time. Sometimes I feel it's going to explode or something. My friends phone does the same thing too.
I don't know what is the point of buying expensive flagship phone and then changing resolution to lower, turning off AOD and the rest of the features that YOU PAYED FOR. Your video is ok, I'm not talking anything negative about you or your tips, they are awesome, but when you must turn off many features to have a good battery life on a flagship phone you became very mad at Samsung.
Their battery optimisation is the worst in the business. I regularly lose 10-15% overnight just on standby because AOD, mobile data, wifi, background sync is active. Once I disable it I get better standby. On the iPhone I’d lose 2-3% only. Night and day difference. Apart from the fact that you must disable features you paid for, it is also quite frustrating that android requires you to do a lot of background maintenance yourself and doesn’t manage things efficiently the way iOS does. Not being a fanboy, but that’s the truth.
I've always been a samsung person, but I've seen the battery life my gf gets in iphone using ALL OF THE FEATURES SHE BOUGHT IT FOR. I basically turned off everything that could be turned off and her phone still outlasts mine! It's crazy, bye Samsung 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
So Nick I thought I'd update you on your tips for saving s9 battery. Didn't try all of them in the video but most and I too get about an extra 45 mins to an hour depending on what I am using it for - happy days. Thank you for your ever useful and entertaining videos. If anyone reading this has an s9 and hasn't tried the tips then do so at once. You will not be disappointed.
I just had my S9 go from 80% to 50% in 2 hours whlie lying beside me on the table. (The phone is new, like 3 days in usage now). I guess it was an App in the background.
S8 plus I gotta say gives me amazing battery life I also applied these steps to my s8 plus as well so I can imagine it will be even better now thanks bro!
Damian Lee i use max battery save (ultra power save on my j5 )at night & for long periods i get 4+ days ( i am light user ) give it a try it's not for everyone but will save a ton of battery .
Since updating my S9+ to Android 10 my battery life has become ALOT better I've noticed! Love my S9+ think I'll keep it 1 more year still has plenty of power under the hood in my opinion!
Hey. I'm thinking of getting the s9 this year. Just wanted to ask how long the battery lasts? Most people on the internet are really critical about the battery and that has made me a little apprehensive.
Hello I have a us variant and I'm in Nigeria,I do not receive updates,I was thinking of upgrading the manual way but I'm scared that my networks won't work anymore Helpppppp
@@vickyj5525 yes Update on my comment I upgraded and I do not regret getting the phone You might want to purchase a powerbank if you're a heavy user like me tho
Best way to stop them apps from running is to uninstall them with adb. Uninstall system apps, no root required. If you are unsure what a particular app does? Just Google it, every single one is on there. Worst case, you uninstall the wrong thing, factory reset brings them all back . There is something satifing about hitting that Enter key then watching the app just disappear, especially Facebook
@@Sunset13118 Lol, it only took me 3 weeks but here it is. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790. really I just not seen this. Don't worry about the fast boot part. Its basically the same as adb but I think its slowly dying and left out of the S8 and S9 all together
@@Sunset13118 No problem. Once you have it installed and running open CMD or PowerShell in the same folder that adb is in. Then type "adb uninstall --user 0 (app package)" but without the " "and (). Package name you can get from tons of apps on the Play Store. For example if you want the Weather App gone you type "adb uninstall --user 0 com.sec.android.daemonapp" all in one line. Not Weather.apk. message me if you have any questions. If anyone has any questions.
Had it for a week and returning it tomorrow. I cannot believe the battery drain and how bad the camera is. I shifted to Samsung after 5 years. This is ridiculous!
The Samsung S9 battery is indeed wasteful, because of its awesome performance. if you want economical buy a lower type with a large battery or buy power bank
I can use my cellphone on screen time On Average a easy 5 hours in the day and still have 50% of battery life left So, it should last 10 hours before battery is at 5% and needs recharge Depends on brightness and how you use the phone It takes me 90 minutes to bring battery up to 100% from charging
Let me explain... People say if you want to save your phone’s power, quit all background apps. Because they think if you do this, the apps running in the background will stop and you’ll save your phone’s battery. But actually, if you do that, when you open one of the apps that was running, it will take time to load, and that would drain battery
As at now, I realize my s9plus battery life gets better with all the max settings. The 845 chip in the phone saves more power when its at its full potential. Its still a great phone in 2023!
Hey Nick, few you did good job but you missing one thing. -Go to "device maintenance" click on "battery" as you will see "alway sleeping apps" all apps can stop running background using battery life.
Wish I knew this before I bought the thing. Didn’t get this with my iPhone 6. All I had to do was turn off background refresh and my battery lasted 2-4 times longer.
I agree with some of the tips which are common with any smart phone but the rest are like: "then what is the point of buying it! unless you are in the middle of a desert!" here are other ways: - buy a wireless charger.. when you at home, instead of leaving it just drop it on top of it, - carry a power bank specially outdoors - use your car charger while driving - or use a battery case
Any black pixel is one that is not turned on. Using black backgrounds is a big battery saver. Go into Settings - Themes and download a black theme and apply it. It's also easier on the eyes.
Nick Ackerman well it's Sunday morning and I've just set up my S9 as per your video apart from tip 20. Will be interesting to see what happens. Will keep you posted 😀👍
I use the exact same settings and everything on my 2nd S9+ as I did on my S8+ and the S8+ was still better. My 1st S9+ was wayyy worse. All my phones were battery optimized for the most part also.
Quesition please. Have you seen unknown icon running in the upper part of screen beside in wifi icon? This looks like a triangle with up down arrow inside of it. Appreciated your response.
Changing the location 2 battery saving mode. If you're out and about and your phone gets lost or stolen are you still able to use Samsung or Google to locate your phone with it on this setting?
Not sure where this is coming from maybe this was when the phone came out but I have a Galaxy S9 plus and it gas the best battery I have ever used and I do have most of the things on and I use most of the features as well ( always on display, face detection unlock, auto brightness, resolution all the way up, Dolby Atmos on all the time) and I use the phone a lot throughout the day ( videos , social media and constant searching online) and I'm having a hard time killing this battery 12 hours plus and I'm still on 30 % or more after heavy usage imo. I've yet to use the power saving mode and see how many days I can go. So far this platform has been very solid on utilizing battery in the background processes
Nick Awesome review and can't tell you how many times I stop the Video not because I did not like it.Your Dog is Absolutely Beautiful and if I didn't know any better their was a time when you were talking it looked like the Dog was talking to you absolutely Beautiful I can just keep putting the review on playback.I Loved all your tips and suggestions as always great for everyone to know.If you get a chance you need to take a look.Awesome Review and your Baby is Beautiful. 👌👍
It seems as if many of these tips are all or nothing propositions and they don't have to be. For example, on the AOD feature, you can schedule a set of hours you don't want to this feature to be on instead of turning it off completely. You can toggle a switch (block accidental touches) so that the screen will not light up while in dark place unless you receive a call or text. Auto brightness works most of the time but when it's not responding as it's supposed to do, you can toggle the auto brightness off an then back on and it will self adjust very quickly to the desired brightness. Personally, one of Samsung's self-battery saving features that I hate and cannot seem to fix is when I am on a call using the Bluetooth or speakerphone and the phone is on a stand, if I don't interact with the phone for let's say 30 seconds, such as using the keypad when prompted, the screen goes black. The phone still works fine though. I then have to wake up the screen by pressing the home button. I would like to be able to have the screen stay on so I can see the call timer and access the keypad options without having to wake the screen up. Against one of your tips, I have maximized the screen timeout to 10 minutes and cannot figure out why the screen goes black during a call. Lastly, I also have "smart stay" toggled to the on position. Any help would be appreciated.
I have had the s9 for two days and I just want to cry. My phone was fully charged and I watched this video via the computer and did all the power saving tips on my phone, step by step. It killed 20% of my battery in less than 10 minutes. I thought it was suppose to have an amazing battery? Should I return this phone and switch to Iphone? My last phone was a Samsung s5, so this was a big upgrade. The actual phone is good, but holy cow. This battery is horrible. :-(
How about the various camera overexposure and underexposure issues in Auto mode, focusing issues,unremarkable audio in video, black smear issues on the S9? Have you had these issues?
Hey Nick, I have a Samsung S9+ I went through your steps and still having battery drain problems as well as my phone sticking. this started a few days ago with an update that I installed. it changed the look of my screen as well. Please help as this is getting so frustrating. thanks Ozzie
Or, if your phone has a replicable battery, you can always replace it with a higher mAh (milliamps per hour) value. Think of it as a larger gas tank in your car. You can go farther with a larger gas tank... So it is with a larger mAh battery. For instance, if you have a 2450 mAh battery, upgrading to a 3450 mAh will get about 40% extra time per charge. You can typically find these online for less than $15.
I only get 4 hours of SOT on my galaxy S9, but i am not worried thanks to its fast charging. Sometimes I turn it off in settings to avoid heating, but it's still fast. :)
What's the sense of buying such an expensive phone if you won't use its features that the other phones don't have? Well, it's optional. I have my S9+ charging and I won't follow any of these xD
Watching on my s9 and I never had problems with my battery. I'm using my s9 all day and I usually get 5-6 hours of straight gaming than it take 1 hours or less to fully charge
Na, there is no way 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 My S9+ consume like 35% on 40 minute's of games. Yesterday i played minutes and the battery was 75%, i played Gear club for 34 minutes and after the battery percentage was 30%😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Has anybody started experiencing longer battery life than usual? My SOT is usually 5 hours and 47 minutes, but recently it's been lasting about a hour and half longer. Right now I'm at 4 hours and 33 minutes SOT and I'm only at 40 percent.
On my galaxy S9+ there is/was a small native blue pop up icon (app badge when you get the phone out of the box) when you get a text message. However I don't see it on my phone anymore. The notifications is there but the icon is changed. Thank you

Hi,
Why does uour screen protector change at #11? Are you using 2 different phones?
21: watch this video while charging
Which screen protector are you using?
Its most likely a basic $30 protector from ebay or something.
Does overcharging damages the battery?
Yep
This channel wants you to buy IPHONES😂
It seems as if many of these tips are all or nothing propositions and they don't have to be. For example, on the AOD feature, you can schedule a set of hours you don't want to this feature to be on instead of turning it off completely. You can toggle a switch (block accidental touches) so that the screen will not light up while in dark place unless you receive a call or text. Auto brightness works most of the time but when it's not responding as it's supposed to do, you can toggle the auto brightness off an then back on and it will self adjust very quickly to the desired brightness.
Personally, one of Samsung's self-battery saving features that I hate and cannot seem to fix is when I am on a call using the Bluetooth or speakerphone and the phone is on a stand, if I don't interact with the phone for let's say 30 seconds, such as using the keypad when prompted, the screen goes black. The phone still works fine though. I then have to wake up the screen by pressing the home button. I would like to be able to have the screen stay on so I can see the call timer and access the keypad options without having to wake the screen up. Against one of your tips, I have maximized the screen timeout to 10 minutes and cannot figure out why the screen goes black during a call. Lastly, I also have "smart stay" toggled to the on position. Any help would be appreciated.
I have had the s9 for two days and I just want to cry. My phone was fully charged and I watched this video via the computer and did all the power saving tips on my phone, step by step. It killed 20% of my battery in less than 10 minutes. I thought it was suppose to have an amazing battery? Should I return this phone and switch to Iphone? My last phone was a Samsung s5, so this was a big upgrade. The actual phone is good, but holy cow. This battery is horrible. :-(
Great video's as always
How about the various camera overexposure and underexposure issues in Auto mode, focusing issues,unremarkable audio in video, black smear issues on the S9? Have you had these issues?
Thank you so much för this video!
For a flagship , this should not be a problem . Users have brains too you know. Just say Samsung screwed up on battery and that's it.
Samsungs flagship phones seem to last longer than my xs max...
my s9 plus draIns 20% in just 7 hours...in just standby.... :)
Those are good tips but the battery technology still lag behind the device innovation
Hey Nick, I have a Samsung S9+ I went through your steps and still having battery drain problems as well as my phone sticking. this started a few days ago with an update that I installed. it changed the look of my screen as well. Please help as this is getting so frustrating. thanks Ozzie
Few things I forgot about few things I learned thank you
How long the battery will last on LTE use please? because im thinking about getting it.
21: Charge up to 80% to not get battery drain by more in the future
Or, if your phone has a replicable battery, you can always replace it with a higher mAh (milliamps per hour) value. Think of it as a larger gas tank in your car. You can go farther with a larger gas tank... So it is with a larger mAh battery. For instance, if you have a 2450 mAh battery, upgrading to a 3450 mAh will get about 40% extra time per charge. You can typically find these online for less than $15.
awesome video ackerman
I only get 4 hours of SOT on my galaxy S9, but i am not worried thanks to its fast charging. Sometimes I turn it off in settings to avoid heating, but it's still fast. :)
Love from Germany ♡♡
Sir what if I change the battery..? Will that work..?
What's the sense of buying such an expensive phone if you won't use its features that the other phones don't have? Well, it's optional. I have my S9+ charging and I won't follow any of these xD
Same 😊
Watching on my s9 and I never had problems with my battery. I'm using my s9 all day and I usually get 5-6 hours of straight gaming than it take 1 hours or less to fully charge
even with one ui update ?...
Na, there is no way 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
My S9+ consume like 35% on 40 minute's of games. Yesterday i played minutes and the battery was 75%, i played Gear club for 34 minutes and after the battery percentage was 30%😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I kinda regret upgrading from an s7 edge to the s9 ..... Battery lasted way longer on the s7 edge . S9 still a nice phone though
Has anybody started experiencing longer battery life than usual? My SOT is usually 5 hours and 47 minutes, but recently it's been lasting about a hour and half longer. Right now I'm at 4 hours and 33 minutes SOT and I'm only at 40 percent.
Love the dog :)
The only way to solve this problem is to have solar panels like the old calculators did.
If you leave your phone in the sun it'll overheat which will damage the battery health
I have s9 plus after I did all the steps and after my phone is saving 😎🤯👍
This video was helpful to many!👌
But some features are a bit extreme!
Always on display doesn't take a lot of power .
Tip 21: Don't use your phone while charging.
On my galaxy S9+ there is/was a small native blue pop up icon (app badge when you get the phone out of the box) when you get a text message. However I don't see it on my phone anymore. The notifications is there but the icon is changed. Thank you
