Issue 4: Battery Percentage Inaccuracy
If the battery percentage on your Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is inaccurate, try the following troubleshooting steps:

- Update software: Ensure your device is running the latest software version by going to Settings > Software update > Download and install.
- Perform a factory reset: If the issue persists, perform a factory reset after backing up your important data. This can help resolve any software-related issues causing inaccurate battery readings.
