I hate this feature, my tablet is basically useless when battery drops below 5% especially outside/during the day. Further more my battery stays at 1% a lot longer than it shoud, so it feels like it's dimmed roughly at 10%. There is an app adjbrightness that can do this on rooted galaxy s4, but won't work on my n5120 rooted stock 4.2.2. (All battery saving features are turned off, and brightness slider in notification disappears when battery below 5%)
Any way to disable this irritating feature?
Don't know if it's possible, but I'd love to see a fix too.
The only thing I know is dump the stock rom, and switch to AOSP.
You can disable DVSM with Xposed framework and Wanam Xposed. That will correct the odd nature of your battery being slow at updating percentage.
I normally do not operate the Note 8.0 below 10% so I never see that.
Also I came across an xposed setting to set the minimum battery level and another to disable low battery alerts... maybe the screen saver mechanism is part of the alert process. Donno.

I amusing Battery XL at the moment, can't see that much energy savings..
Not using it
Seriously, though, there is a thread in the General forum that goes through many of the ways to improve battery life. I personally have found that battery savers just do not do what I want, and sometimes they use more battery when installed. I like to set it all manually. It is a lot of work to set up, but the battery savings can be great.
A lot of it requires root access, but I think this is a must in any case, even if only to be able to set up a firewall.

It's useless,
there're steps for saving batteries.
1. Reduce brightness to less than 30% during indoor, this should be enough for most people;
2. Turn off mobile data and use only wifi whenever you in wifi-spot
3. Don't always use live-wallpaper
battery saver apps are designed to kill apps/processes to reduce battery usage. however, this ends up being a waste of time as these apps and processes will often reopen themselves after. so you end up in a boot-kill loop for every app, which ends up using more CPU cycles which ends up killing the battery faster.
you're better off leaving these apps in the background since they dont use CPU cycles when theyre inactive.
if you want to save battery, turn off wifi and bluetooth when youre not using them. otherwise your device will constantly waste battery by trying to ping local wifi hotspots and bluetooth devices.
turn the screen brightness down and use dark backgrounds. on amoled displays, black means LED off which means no power consumption. white means LED on which means full power consumption (a white screen on an amoled display consumes more than twice the amount of power an LCD display would use).
dont use live wallpapers.
turn off mobile data when youre not using it. or if this is inconvenient for you, disable any widgets that constantly use your data (ie. weather widgets) or set their update interval to every 3 hours or so (lets face it... who needs to know how much the temp changes every minute...).
i;m on cm 10.1 M3 and my battery running out very fast. On data connection something about 30% in 1h. And its charging very fast full battery in 1h. Can someone help me?

Dirty Flash?
Low signal area?
From what I know 4.22 has about 1 hour less screen on time than 4.12. Then again, I think we all here can drain about 30% battery in a hour, if we wanted to. What exactly are you doing in that 1 hours time.
battery isn't what it used to be.
4.1.2 was much better battery wise
Some solutions
you can try apps like:
greenify which hibernates background apps and some other apps which are hibernated as your phone goes in standby. (Root)
Ds battery saver which will turn off wifi when the phone is on standby.
Cpu sleeper which turns off one core when phone is on standby (Root)
Battery Calibration (Root)
Lux auto brightness which adjust the brightness and is battery efficient
You can under clock or under volt or even change your screens colour settings. (Root)
Hope these apps and tips help
While i acknowledge that most of battery life is determined by the actions of the user and what apps they use, some ROM/Kernel combos just have notoriously crap battery life regardless of how you cut it. I have found that 10.1 and its stock kernel are one of those instances. Hell, even while using a different kernel and great settings i still have been unable to get the same kind of battery as i can with other combos. Personally, EOS is the complete package of customizability and battery life out of the box for me. Perhaps you should give it a shot. CyanogenMod is just far too dirty.

All good except for Battery Calibration. That app, and others that operate on the same premise are 100% snake oil. And end user can do the exact same thing that the app does simply by unplugging their phone from the charger after a full or near-full charge. It in no way, shape, or form touches anything related to battery life or battery charge indication.

Is there anyway to stop the phone from dimming on low battery? I just got a Hyperion extended battery and it tends to last forever at 1% since it hasn't figured out accurate drop rate yet. So its frustrating to have my phone on low dim for hours.
Thanks.

You could try AdjBrightness from the Play Store. Might be outdated and not work on the Note 4 but there are similar apps related to it like RootDim (phone needs to be rooted for this).
Other way to do it requires permanent root and modifying a system file to shut off auto-dim and low battery warning. Same goes for warning when setting volume to max for headphones, bluetooth, etc.
I know which file it is and will modify it once we get permanent root. Most custom ROMs shut all these and warnings off so we don't have to modify it ourselves.
Under power saving go to restrict performance and uncheck screen output
Does anyone know where to adjust the low battery notification percentage on Oreo? E.G. to alert at 5% instead of 15% etc.
On a previous Nougat handset it was under settings -> battery. I've dug around and haven't been able to find it.
If not inbuilt into Oreo, if there is an app to configure low battery alerts at a certain battery percentage, I'd be fine with doing that if need be. I'm rooted if it needs to be a root app.
Thanks all.

There is no native setting on the P2XL. There are several battery alert type apps in the play store. There's probably even an adb method to adjust it, however, I don't know what that would be.
Going to battery saver is only native way I could think of I never see low battery since I'm usually around 50 percent when I got bed the battery is happyer when charged more frequent then letting it die then charging unless you are doing it 5 times a day for 6 months

Okay. I'll try this thing. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.larryvgs.battery
I recently bought this phone, I updated everything system, apps......the camera keeps running the background, even when I have closed the app.....
Problems does go away if I clear data of camera app...but I don't want to do this everytime.......I bought the same phone for my mum, and same thing is happening there too, on top of that in her phone chrome is consuming a lot of battery even when the phone is idle...... please help me out
Also I did try that restrict background activity but that option did nothing and the time on "while in background" kept on increasing
P.S location was off.
Never happened this problem to my European LG G7 Thinq (LMG710EM).
Anyway you have to turn off "background activity flag" to stop background activities of any app (do it for each app).
But consider also that the 7% of battery may be consumed just in that 11 minutes.
Shooting photo consumes a lot of battery...
After a week I have figured that you need to compromise on 2 features to get a good battery life ......1st obvious one was always on display, after disabling that, battery life increased a lot, but my idle battery drain was still 1-2 % per hour with wifi turned off.......2nd I disabled the double tap to wake (knock on) and hallelujah! Now on idle it barely drains 1-2% overnight.....
This is a great phone but lacks in the battery department...I mean, I don't mind disabling aod but double tap to wake is a great feature to have...too bad it drains the battery like hell
