I think OP is asking if we need to run the battery to 0% first charge or not, kinda like breaking the battery first time ( breaking like letting set kind of thing)
I dont think you need to although it maybe a good idea as the S20 seems to need to learn how you use your battery to help it improve its battery saving feature.

Not necessary

lol.. thermal compound is only used in stuff that requires an agent
thermal compound itself does not dissipate heat, infact it prevents some of it from getting thru, what it does is that it makes it easier for the processor to transfer heat to heatsink, but in the case where there is only a processor thermal compound is not needed
please do your research before trying to misdirect people.

exactly its think meaning not 100% positive
no need to argue guys i'm just trying to find a solution this is driving me nuts
Mine does the same thing. Right now it gets pretty warm. It even gets warm when its idle in my pants or jacket pocket. I do not quite understand that as it should be doing much. I have juice defender killing my data connection most of the time.
Willg0r, if flashing a new kernel works out for you, let me know.
Thanks
i have no clue what you mean by flashing a new kernel but yeah mine gets warm even when on idle in my pants but i dont think its juice defender i use to use that but it didnt help me at all so i stopped using that program after the first week i got my phone and i dont really have much programs running either in the background

flash the faux kernel, it fixed my phone..
how do i know this? my phone drained 100% of the battery last night and died on me, figured it was the kernel so i tried faux, runs cooler than ever now.
i have no clue what kernel is and by that do you need a rooted phone?

i love my Gnex but......

if the battery life doesnt get better im selling this crap. i love this everything about the phone but the battery life. its just plain crap. can you guess please help try and figure out the problem. i have flashed every kernel and rom and always bad battery life.thanks
Looks like user error to me. There are a lot of times that your phone is awake and the screen isn't even on. Your apps are what is killing your battery life.

most people get between 4-5 hrs of screen ON time, this has nothing to do with ur gnex, it's related to an app u have, try to locate it and uninstall, or mail the developer about the issues u're getting with it.
you have bad signal and your apps are keeping the phone awake.
You can't seriously blame the phone for what is user error.
Your apps are what's causing the massive drain and unless you do away with the apps causing this drain, your battery life will always seem crap. I suggest you uninstall KTREweather and find a weather app/widget that's more reliable.
I take it it's this app you're using? https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEsImNvbS5rdHJlLmFuZHJvaWQud2VhdGhlciJd
Judging by its features, I'm not suprised it kills your battery. Live radar and storm tracking? Who needs that?
You have serious drain from awake apps, and looks like you're doing a lot of streaming radio/music? And your signal is absolutely terrible. All of these together will absolutely drain your battery.
use this free app called diagnosis to figure out which apps or processes are causing you trouble https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.diagnosis&hl=en

generally, i dont let anything run on my phone that i dont want it to run. if you have root, there is a good app called autostarts that lets pick what app you want to start up when the phone boots. only when you actually open that app itll start up https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts&hl=en

Tbh I let Android do all of the app management. I also only install apps that I'm going to use as well as keeping them running to a minimum in the background.
If you don't like the battery life buy a bigger battery.

Really? Do I need to find one of the few battery life screenshots I have to prove you wrong? 4-5hrs on stock battery, 6 on extended.
Why do people keep saying this ****? Get apps that don't eat your battery. Until then, don't try to claim someone else is wrong.

Maybe its because its a CDMA nexus. This is my GSM on T-Mo, as you can see reception is worse then yours yet I'm still at 75% after 8 hours of use:

[Q] Why does my battery skip percentages?

I've had this tablet for more than a week now and for some reason the battery always skips percentages in the same spots like from 83 to 81 or 80-77 and it happens randomly after that. I get decent battery life but I just wanna know why this happens or if there's a fix for this..?
My question to you is how you even noticed this... Do you sit and watch the battery go down?
lol use battery doctor let it trickle charge the battery and then monitor it.. should fix the issue.

Not trying to be a ****, just wondering how someone even notices that lol.
I'm pretty sure there are issues with correct battery information being shown with the Nexus 7. Regardless, I don't think it's anything to worry about it.

Device Care Battery Stats question

I am on the beta Android 10, Unlocked Galaxy Note 10 plus. When I go into device Care and look at the battery stats I don't see anywhere that it shows how long you have been off the charger. Previous versions did. It's not that big of deal but I always like to see battery % compared to how long I have been off charging. Maybe it's somewhere I'm not looking. Any one noticed the same thing? Thanks

I'm not on the beta but it seems they keep removing features. Remember when you used to see how mAh an app used? They removed that. Now you can't find time on battery?
So when you go to Settings» device care» battery» battery usage....what shows up? Screen shot?

I took it of before that. That's just the start of the new day. There is no where it shows how long it's been off the charger.

OneUI2.0 battery stats not useful at all

Hi,
While we got used to see battery stats from last (nearly) full charge, with OneUI 2.0 the battery stats are taken from 00h00 of the day... for example if you use your phone from 00h00 to 01h00 then leave it charge overnight then you'll start your day with 100% battery with already 1h SOT counted !
The only way to figure out the real SOT is to sum the stats of each area after full charge ...
If this is intentional from samsung then it is in no way useful at all.

What's weirder is that I didn't find anyone complaining about it on internet or reporting it as a bug! Just like if I was the only one annoyed by such incomprehensible change...
+1 so bad stats now
old way was better. Samsung can keep 7 days history (what is actually very good idea) but reset stats when is battery charged up to 90%

Let's hope a "real" beta member can report this as a bug and let's they don't answer "it's a feature not a bug' !!!
Don't have the new version yet on my Note 10+ but I agree that this is pretty dumb if it is actually implemented as you state. What use is looking at battery life over a 24 hour period that spans multiple charges?

Or they can simply add a button to switch between stats of the whole day and from last full charge
If you click on the graphil on a day that you charged the phone it will allow you to view screen on time for different time frames on that day.

I agree it's dumb, Galaxy Labs' Battery Monitor adds some informations but I still prefer the old way Guess I'll stick with Gsam battery for now to satisfy my battery life curiosities
Yea I freaking hate this! It's like Samsung did this on purpose to keep people from knowing the actual screen on time u know. Anyways, I just installed Accu Battery and it gives me the SOT now from a full charge.
Sincerely, what's the use of such battery stats ?
Look how many times I charged the phone to 100% but the SOT never got reset which results in a global 5h13 !
It even counts the screen usage while using the phone plugged and fully charged

No I am not rooted yet and not really interested for the first time in my android life. Otherwise I would have installed BBS a long time ago

Is BBS better than GSAM?
Has anyone figured out how to get better battery stats on A10 for things like battery consumed by Screen and Android System?
