How do I monitor and extend battery life on my Galaxy Note8?
Battery
Does your battery drain quickly and you can't figure out why? There's a way to monitor and extend the battery life on your Galaxy Note8. Follow along to find out how.
Note: Screens and settings available may vary depending on your Canadian wireless service provider and your software version.
Monitor Battery Usage
Note: View the estimated battery life based on your usage over the last 7 days, and closely monitor how much battery your apps are eating up.


Screen Timeout
Note: Shorten your phone’s screen timeout to decrease battery consumption.

Note: Screen timeout is set to 30 seconds by default.
Block Accidental Touches
Note: If your phone keeps on turning on when inside your pocket or bag, enable Block accidental touches to prevent it from happening again.

Auto Brightness
Note: Using high brightness levels for an extended period of time may cause eye strain and increase battery consumption.

Note: Turn on Auto brightness to increase and preserve the battery life.
Always On Display
Note: Always On Display can be convenient when you want to quickly check the time or date. However, it can obviously consume more battery life because it remains on your screen all the time. Learn how to disable Always On Display to extend the battery life.

Power Saving Mode
Note: Use Power saving mode to extend your battery life by decreasing your phone’s performance.

• OFF: Disable Power saving mode.
• MID: Apply medium power saving mode settings which will change brightness, resolution, speed limiter, background network usage, and Always On Display settings.
• MAX: Apply maximum power saving mode settings which will change brightness, resolution, speed limiter, background network usage, and Always On Display settings.
Note: Touch CUSTOMIZE to change Power saving mode’s settings.
