one ui - Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions &

Are most people using one ui or nova launcher?I saw on s10 forums one ui was heavy on animations and heavy on battery so disabled one ui once enabled nova and wondered if anyone's done this on s20 ultra exynos looking to make battery as good as can be with 96hz!? Been just using 60hz fhd for about a week now and pretty good and lasts ages on that setting! Cheers

Am one of those who use Nova launcher instead of OneUI but not because OneUI is bad or consume more battery (don't know, didn't compare) but because I have been using Nova for years and there are many more options that suit me...and of course it works great on my S20 Ultra (Exynos)....
In terms of 96Hz refresh rate, i think it's a great compromise between battery life and smoothness,unfortunately Samsung is hiding it instead of putting under one of the refresh rate options...

Scrolling smoothness

Some phones exhibit choppy scrolling, especially when navigating long web pages when multiple apps are running in the background. Rate this thread to express how you smooth scrolling feels on the Honor 8 under such conditions. A higher rating indicates that scrolling is always buttery smooth, even when you're reading a 10,000 word article on "how to kiss a girl".
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Screen touch response is above-average.
Smoothness all around, no sluggish reaction at all!
What about the wait time to select items after scrolling?
The scrolling flies, but the rendering lags to catch up

its a problem with emui,every emui device i have come across this same problem persists.
easy to use
no touch problem quite good touch quality
touch quality is awesome but its the animation that annoys sometimes
I have always turned off animation ( just seems useless IMHO). When i bought phone i put on glass screen protector and touch did seem a bit slow in response, so i turned on gloves mode option in settings and now touch response is great, no lags, no having to press just a little harder... My 2 cents anyway.
Scrolling is nowhere near as smooth as on Xiaomi Mi3, there is lots of stutter. You get this will all big.little cpu though as its using a slow cpu for this task.

This and lack of sRGB mode are my two biggest complaints with this otherwise awesome phone. (The sRGB mode thing is in distant second place.)
If you are rooted, you can use L Speed to improve the overall smoothness.
Incredibly smooth for me!
Only had problems in one game but I think that was the games fault (it has bugs all over the place)

Most of the time when games lag, it is actually the game's fault especially in a high end phone like Honor 8.

The Note 7 has the same amount of lag as every Samsung device. It'll never go away. We learn to deal with it, even though it still disappoints me year after year.

Agreed. Not nearly as smooth as my year old Nexus 6P.
You guys are complaining about the qualcomm version.
Over here with an SM-N930F (Exynos) and can't complain. Very smooth scrolling performance.
Deliberately opened a long thread from here on xda using Samsung browser (NOT CHROME) and it scrolls perfect even with music playing in the background while downloading a file.
souds diapointing
I can confirm the choppiness not only with the browser but also the transition when switching between apps. I swear my iphone5s feels better than this brand new flagship from Samsung. I've tried to turn off all the animations and to no avail.

I've got a Tmobile Note 7. Mine seems to often not detect that I've tapped on something, and takes another tap or two to finally register. Other times, it'll be sluggish with scrolling, pulling down the notification shade, opening recent apps, and general on screen animations. The Samsung keyboard is especially bad.
The phone goes through almost no battery when asleep, so it doesn't seem like it would be something keeping the CPU active. This feels like either some sort of over-aggressive governor or some kind of conflict with data transferred to the new phone over Samsung Smart Switch.
I've rebooted multiple times, cleared app cache partition, changed animation scale to 0.5, disabled numerous Samsung bloat apps, nothing has helped. The issue started about a minute after I left the store, so it wasn't caused by any of this troubleshooting. Add this to the heat-up issues and unimpressive battery life when in use, and I am one frustrated dude. My S6 edge+ was leaps and bounds ahead of this thing.

yikes dude, your phone seems to have other problems other than the standard Samsung bs! tbh I haven't noticed stuttering while I've been using mine. Only problems I've had were with my back key, it took some time getting used to the placement and the capacitive touch buttons since I was coming from a phone with on-screen buttons. The only time I feel my phone gets hot is when I'm watching 1080p or higher videos while the phone is charging. You should try backing up important stuff to Google and then doing a full software reset and not use the smart switch stuff. I'll agree that the Samsung keyboard is not great I went back to SwiftKey but the screen size is something I'm still getting used to. I love that you can adjust the long press time to make it shorter on SwiftKey lol. Also Samsung browser is my default now just to test it out and I'm loving the fingerprint sign in thing for accounts and the ad block extension. Only good stuff so far
Exynos Note 7 reporting in - It's plenty fast and smooth so far.
Seems like the Exynos version is smooth while the SD820 is not as smooth.
Yup. Another exynos owner here - this is smoother than my 6P by far.

Said the same thing.
But one way to improve it -
disable as many bloat apps as possible.
Use a different launcher - sense launcher beta has made it much faster.
Use google chrome
My battery life has improved and things are marginally faster. But it is a crying shame that the nexus 6p, the htc 10, the moto z, and even samsung last devices (galaxy s6) are faster than the note 7 in the day to day.
It's ... unnerving

Note 9 vs Mate 20 pro vs find x

I am thinking about giving away my s9 mainly because of battery and the heat it produces.
The current options i have are Note 9 mate 20 pro and the oppo find x.
One of the main reasons i bought the s9 was for the display and curves.
Moving to anything other than Samsung is kinda tough for me. I love Samsung pay and the brand and the UI. I had the stock ui btw.
What would you guys suggest? Any of these or wait for S10? Which will release after 4 months

LOL, you're asking this in an S9 forum? Why not figure out why the S9 is overheating and keep the S9.

Because overheating was just one of his issues and I bet it was the least important one.
I had S9 and moved to Note 9. Why? Mainly because of the battery. S9 sucks badly at this point for a heavy user. Before S9 I had an S7 Edge and I hoped S9 will last the same. I was wrong, I was barely reaching the evening with a full charge and I had to constantly keep the phone in the charger if I was driving and using navigation or talking too much (which I do)
So if you don't want to wait for the S10, go for the Note 9. You'll get the same design and curves (less the corners but that's bearable) plus you'll get more storage (if you had the standard S9), more RAM (S9 has 4 while Note has at least 6),bigger screen, better camera(s) and ofc the stylus. And I can tell you that I am reaching the evening with more than 30% battery under heavy usage.

My battery is good for me, but not great for the price... But RAM management is very good, don't tell me anyone will use over 5-6 apps at the same time. And the S9 can handle more than that also... And i am not experiencing any slow downs even if I am a heavy user, I use whatsapp, facebook, instagram and XDA everyday, and watch a lot of videos on youtube and I have many games including one with high graphics, Asphalt 9.
Even if sometimes I had to charge my phone twice in a day, but I'm still loving it, especially that it fits perfectly in the hand, that's why I went for the S9 instead of the plus.

Anyone coming from the oneplus 7pro? What are your thoughts missing anything?

Just checking anyone coming from oneplus 7 pro. Are you missing anything and what are your thoughts with regards to the performance of the phone and in hand feel?
There are a couple of things that I notice/miss from my OP 7 Pro, screen smoothness I definitely notice, the other is I occasionally get a stutter (I am using lawnchair v2 beta so this could be the reason). With that aside I have not even turned on my OP since I received my Note 10+.

? So why have you not turned on the oneplus ?
I had a OnePlus 7 Pro and a S10+, the OnePlus sat on my desk most of this time I owned it, sold it last week. While the OnePlus was smooth the in-hand feel absolutely killed the phone for me. I have large hands and that phone always felt like it was about to fall.
It's just not as nice in the hand as the S10+ or the Note 10+ even through the Note 10+ has a bigger screen.
This is coming from somebody who's owned almost every OnePlus phone made and the last Samsung I own was the Note 4.
Other than the 90hz display and the ever-so-slightly higher overall performance, I have only tinkered with the OP7Pro to try out the open Android Q beta.
While I don't think the Note10+ 5G is leaps and bounds beyond the OP7Pro, I prefer the slightly wider screen, additional Knox features, always on display, fast(ish) wireless charging, Dex over USB in Windows 10 and of course the 5G radio when I'm in Atlanta to play with stupidly fast speed tests lol.
Am missing mostly root and the ability to use themes for all apps like Gmail etc. It's a right pain looking at that white screen and there aren't any options to them all apps without root I assume?

With Synergy you can theme using Substratum themes without root. I'm all blacked out using Synergy, Substratum Lite, and Swift Black.

Yeah, when I bought my S10+, Snapdragon version, I was a little weary about buying a non rootable phone but with all the customization you can do on them nowadays there's really no reason to root anymore.
Hmmm... Can't decide between Hex and Synergy. Anyone recommend one over the other for theming?
I miss the 90hz screen refresh rate and phone size was perfect for me on the oneplus 7 pro. After a few days i got use to the note 10 again but i had the exynos/snapdragon variant. I recommend getting the snap version its faster then the exynos but of course you dont have the root options

I recommend Hex. Couldn't never get Synergy to work properly.
Only thing I miss is the screen smoothness. I have exynos version of note10+ 5g. Sucks to be in Europe. But unlike s10 exynos this updated one feels a lot faster. Oneplus still very slightly faster at opening apps but not as significantly as it was when compared to S10.
In overall I do enjoy note I just wish it had slightly rounded corners.

Have tried synergy but having some issues and not sure if these are related to the app or our note 10. For the life of me I can't seem to theme both the status bar and apps. I can only either theme the status bar notifications shade and not the apps or the apps and not the status bar, no matter what I do! Any suggestions as this is what I want to theme
I miss the completely full screen experience of the 7 Pro (i.e. no camera cut out meaning I could stretch videos as much as I wanted).
I slightly miss 90Hz refresh, although I still maintain this is a bit of a gimmick feature until frame rates make it more worthwhile.
I don't miss the weight of the 7 Pro.
I don't miss the complete lack of firmware updates for the 5G "flagship" variant
I don't miss a camera that couldn't focus properly
I don't miss having to plug my phone into a cable every night because OnePlus "don't believe" in wireless charging
I don't miss being scared anytime the phone was near water (a sink etc.) because OnePlus think IP ratings are "unnecessary"
I don't miss phantom screen touches and random OS crashes making me reboot the phone almost daily

Question S22 battery life vs 5yo device (HTC U11, new battery).

So the whole internet is questioning the smaller battery in the vanilla S22.
However as I am upgrading from a HTC U11 I am expecting it at least to not be a downgrade regarding battery life, right?
I am finding it hard to compare online, so I hoped someone over here would be able to say something wise on this subject before I put my pre-order in.
My U11 has had a new battery quite recently and I am satisfied with the battery life.
If the S22 would be similar or better I would be happy to buy it.
Of course it's difficult to talk on S22 battery life as the device is barely out but maybe someone could elaborate on their knowledge, for example from owning a S21?
i doubt itd be worse, as the exynos 2200 should be much more power efficient than the snapdragon 835 (considering the efficiency of the exynos 2100). all in all it shouldnt be a downgrade, though it may not be too impressive either. maybe wait for it to release and wait for some reviews, then buy it. thats the safe option.
Thanks for your reply, I will await some reviews for sure.
The difficult thing is that reviewers are (of course) comparing to current models.
I would like a comparison with my current device.
As long as it's no downgrade for sure, it would be good enough for me.
Look for a battery life/charging test for the S22, then test your own phone and compare.
There are multiple battery tests on youtube and they are all looking good. Marques Brownlee and some influencers bashed s22 battery right after the launch date and may have scared off few people but they have all retracted their opinions after more and more real life test results started popping up.
S22 should last all day, most test results have 5-7 SOT depending on the usage. Same tests show that Plus and Ultra have longer battery life but not by a long shot.
I have had the S22 for 3 days now. After debloating and turning off nearly everything in the background that I don't need, I think a full day will be no problem. I was worried as the battery seemed small versus the larger phones.
If you don't "fiddle" with your phone and run this right from the box I think you will struggle to last the entire day. There is a lot of crap on the phone running. There are so many hidden settings. So many apps trying to run in the background. Trying to connect/search for other devices.
I am coming from a 3 year old Huawei P30 Pro with Emui 10 and I find this software terrible (even compare to Emui! )
I used ADB AppControl to debloated. Great software. Very easy.

I too got my S22 and the battery performance is good as I only play games for an hour but the phone withstands for 1&half day! Try to optimize the battery and clean the background running apps.

Could you tell which apps you removed and what exact fiddling you did?
I switched from HTC U11+ to S22+ and I am really disappointed with the battery life.
I can`t even get through a day, with SOT less than 3 hours.
Mine is set to be delivered tmrw. if anyone has hands on knowledge on what to debloat it would be tremendously helpful.
Thanks

Good info - I am hoping that the 60 hertz refresh rate will improve SOT a lot .
I like the size but I HATE that they did not make it .2 inches thicker and give it 4100 MAH !
Or a PRO version - .3 thicker for another $100-150 with 4500 MAH . People like me who use phone as a laptop and millions of others would love it.
Marketing research shows that the thinness is a big selling point ?¿
You will not meet women if your phone is too thick ?¿
¿ = WTF lol

Also - I wonder if there is a fixed refresh rate like 60 hertz only .
Because - the variable refresh rate may use battery as it is always scanning usage to assign ( possibly ) refresh rate.
The refresh rate for static pages was supposed to go down to 10 hertz but only S22 ULTRA does this .
So gamers should be able to switch to 120 hertz when needed ...and hopefully the rest of us can save battery by setting 'fixed 60 hertz '- hopefully .
I have not purchased S22 yet until I am sure I can get 6 hours SOT on LTE 4 or 5G at 30 % to 35 % brightness.
I Appreciate all the info here.

Never owned a Samsung device, so some new techniques to master maybe.
Would ADB AppControl require root?
As I'm reluctant to root directly because I might return the device if I'm not happy (battery & haptic notifications?).

I have had the S22 for 3 days now. After debloating and turning off nearly everything in the background that I don't need, I think a full day will be no problem. I was worried as the battery seemed small versus the larger phones.
If you don't "fiddle" with your phone and run this right from the box I think you will struggle to last the entire day. There is a lot of crap on the phone running. There are so many hidden settings. So many apps trying to run in the background. Trying to connect/search for other devices.
I am coming from a 3 year old Huawei P30 Pro with Emui 10 and I find this software terrible (even compare to Emui! )
I used ADB AppControl to debloated. Great software. Very easy.

kinda disappointing how my budget poco m3 lasts 2 days with heavy usage, but a flagship which is 2 years newer can barely manage a day.. i know that high end devices consume more power, and the battery in the s22 is smaller. but i wouldve expected tech to become advanced enough for it to atleast compete with larger battery counterparts which are releasing in 2022. so far the s22 and s22 ultra are pretty disappointing in battery life. though, the mi 12 with the 888 gen1 chipset doesnt have great battery life either.. so not really sure if its the chip or the batteries. guess we'll find out more as we progress through the year.

Just got my S22 (snapdragon) in. In playing around with it, the battery percentage was dropping like crazy. Hopefully with some configuration and over time it will get better like yours

I haven't had that experience at all. I've had my Snapdragon S22 Ultra four days now and battery life is amazing.
if anyone backed up and restored with Smart Switch, I recommend either factory resetting your phone and starting from scratch or resetting your apps and settings. My Smart Switch backup was killing my battery. And in the day it's been factory reset, battery life is much better.

No root required. Very simple instructions. Enable Developer mode and turn on USB Debugging.

Could you tell which apps you removed and what exact fiddling you did?
I switched from HTC U11+ to S22+ and I am really disappointed with the battery life.
I can`t even get through a day, with SOT less than 3 hours.

Using ADB AppControl I did the following (My phone is running fine now *See edit*)
(**you can probably delete all of these instead of disable AND some apps with be auto-disabled if they are not used which is nice...)
*Do this at your own risk* And I won't be adding more this thread. I am very happy with my phone.
I did it heavily as my phone was new and if I had to do a factory reset I was OK with that).
*Edit*
- I had to enable KPECore services. It was affecting Automate from acknowledging I had paid for it.
**YouTube - I use Vanced Micro G and YouTube Vanced
**Facebook - Left this battery hog and toxic service long ago.
**Amazon - Reinstalled from Appstore. Just disabled for no particular reason.
*Some of the spelling is off as I used an OCR text recognition from screenshots of ADB AppControl instead of typing each one out manually.
