Maybe they simply forgot about enabling it?! My battery is much improved this morning since enabling it last night.
Yeah likewise mine is so much better. Still on 72% at near 13.00 big improvement

Maybe leaving AOD on will not effect battery life after all

I love that system-wide night mode automatically inverts webpages in Samsung Internet as well. It's the little things, like that, that make for a great user experience.

Did you switch it on from when I mentioned it above buddy or, has it always been on?

I switched it on last night and have noticed a good improvement thus far.

Do you have adaptive power saver on?

Yeah, turned it on when I got the phone and set it up.

I'm on 54% and I took it off charge at 7am.

Has it disabled any functionality like AOD for you?

Well I have AOD for only showing when I tap just to see battery life differences

I may leave it on all day to see the difference between the tap

Are you all finding the performance affected at all by using these power saving options?
I haven't noticed anything unusual. Adaptive battery won't affect performance, but adaptive power saving may lower the CPU speeds from time-to-time when itbsees fit, but that should be based on your usage.

Everybody aware of YouTube premium for 4 months free?

Unfortunately this is only open to new subscribers? I’ve been on YouTube premium for about 6 months now. However I’m going to subscribe to Spotify premium family and get the Google home mini. At least I can share the subscription with my husband as can’t seem to get Apple Music family to work on my husband’s note 8.

Wasn't aware YouTube premium does this as you click the hold button

Will enjoy this free trial

You can’t even get pip on the iPhone or iPad even if you pay for YouTube premium :rolleyes:
