Guess I'll see. News on the internet says it will but time will tell.

Hi All,

After updating to Oreo months ago, battery life has really taken a hit for me (pre-Oreo, I'd be at 45% battery life at 9pm, w/Oreo, I'm at 5% at 9pm).  I actually went ahead and replaced my battery yesterday (at a UBreakIFix store).  Battery life is still horrendous with the replacement battery.  In doing a search, I only found tons of similar complaints and non-solutions (despite Samsung labeling them as "solved"):

I have tried everything (such as force stopping the "Gear VR Services" app, wiping the cache, etc.) short of hard resetting the device or downgrading to Nougat.  

Does anyone have any real solutions that work to address the alleged Oreo battery drain?

Also, has anyone tried downgrading to Nougat to address it?:

Any help would be much appreciated!

    • (Sorry I never answered your last e-mail.  It's going to be time-consuming, so I've been dragging my feet.) I'm on FiOS and my service has been okay.  A few weeks ago, I was having an odd issue where certain websites were very slow to load, and it persisted until I rebooted the router.  Not entirely sure what was going on there.  But otherwise, no issues.  What happens if you ping or traceroute during these outages? - Trip
    • After seeing gr8nuguy's S23 post for one, checked and found a 72MB Google Play System security update on S24+ unlocked.    Still a June 1st date however. 
    • /google play services update available (55mb)    - phone my wife has had 67mb update
    • If so, I'm wanting to see if any others of you have been having intermittent internet issues.   The last week or two, internet just seems to intermittently stop/pause for various periods of time....when the halt/pause lets up throughput will seem normal/very snappy as you'd expect on a 1 Gig line, until its not again.  My desk with both personal PC and work laptop are in our basement with a Cat 6 run straight from the Verizon router.  I've mostly noted it when trying to go through and clean out mail from my hotmail account I've had a few decades now (to be clear off that mention, I don't have decades worth of mail pending ha - like 100-200 unreads max if that each time I go through them), but I know its not something relegated to only the outlook.live.com endpoint because I check other tabs/sites when the issues crop up and they're hanging/spinning too. I've not yet tried calling VZ tech support and wanted to check/poll for others here to see if anyone using the service might have been wrestling with similar issues.   Addendum:  Both the ONT box (in our living room, not outside) and the white standup VZ router have been cycled before a couple times.  Have also tried changing between ethernet ports on the back for the Cat 6 cable with no change over long term behavior.
