There is no magic. Like you correctly said, everybody uses their phone differently. People who proudly posted good stats browse in a way where they almost never touch their screen. And using an app, like the xda one, instead of a browser can make quite a difference too. Especially if you put it in black mode

Have any one installed 5.1.1 yet and have any oppinion on the batterylife? Better? Worse?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hiimimtayaz:
I have been using 5.1 since its launch on N910C. Initially it was worst but its getting better. 5+ SOT on every cycle.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] themaximillian:
Thanks mate, makes me feel a lot better :)

Installed it yesterday and i'm hoping it will get better....

[Galaxy Note 4 General] h8Aramex:
The 5.1.1 is the same when it comes to battery life. Reason is simple, the same bug is still there that crippled the 5.0.1 battery life.

Source: http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...amous-mobile-radio-active-bug-in-android-6-0/

HOWEVER! If you have Xposed on 5.0.1 or 5.1.1, you can apply the FIX via an Xposed module! http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/xposed-mobileradioactivefix-t3189393

(I just use the 4 branch until M comes out.

Yeah I know it will take a year for Samsung to push out the update for Note 4, but who cares, KitKat just works fine until then.)

5.1.1 users - how is it going in idle? I have sth like ~1% per hour in idle and imho it's quite a lot.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] luismedina:
Has anyone noticed that some apps are running in the background even if you don't use them?

In my case, Instagram shows in the battery usage graph, funny thing is, I haven't logged in with my account since I wiped my device after 5.1.1 installation. I think something is going wrong, also, Google Play Services is always at the top of the statics.

Also, in the estimated usage time remaining it always shows 10 hours at 100%, power saving mode shows 10h 36m and Ultra Power Saving Mode shows 23h 30m, all those values with the battery fully charged at 100%, this is horrible.

Internet browsing over 10 hours? How the f*uck is that possible if getting SOT ~5h+ is quite common on Lollipop? It was REALLY possible on KitKat?

EDIT: OK, I've just done some resesrch in this thread and these results seems to be worth nothing and getting SOT around 5h was always quite a good score... sad a bit.

I was tired of the note 4 after 3 notes with problems.

Now i have S6 and first day i have 5h sot the same i had on the note 4.

Has anybody else experienced this, particularly the estimated battery usage time?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Senthil360:
I totally accept, no matter what i tweak or what ROM or kernel i use , i can get a maximum of 6hrs SoT (with 30 to 40 %brightness ) on mobile data and I think that's the best one can get,

11hrs with browsing that's ridiculous

Well maybe 9hrs or 10 hrs might be possible freeze all the services and telephony too, ( dont even insert a SIM) just keep the browser and wifi , BUT majority would not use their Note 4 that way..

Cmon we got a freaking octa-core phone clocked up at 2.7GHz, 6hrs is actually awesome..

I can find some people having an obsession with greater sot. Can't find much more useful info for any best configuration or something!?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] themaximillian:
Since i flashed the Swedish 5.1.1 i´ve been having poorer battery life, according to GSAM the culprits are "radio" and "media".

Never had any issues with theese on 5.0.1, but now they have appeard.

Tried to wipe cache partition a couple of times and i did a Factory reset yesterday.

As of now i´m at 53% with 1h25 mins SOT, on 5.0.1 i had about 75% left with thas SOT.

Is it that the rom is "new", will it get better in a couple of Days?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Misk77:
Hi Sweden here too.

About 1 cycle can show bad value, and and maybe need calibrate battery, and keep showing lower /more battery usage couple first day. But 20 procent seems much.. But could be..

With echoe rom 5.1 and ael kernel (Google echoe team) I having about 30 hours normal usage. My note F are like a beast, faster, smoother and excellent battery. Like It should have been from the start. About 0.3-0.5 % per hour and and much better battery if you turn WiFi to" not on I deep sleep".

Hope so, ´cause i love the smoothness of my Note 4, but today is the first day ever ( exkluding weeklong hikes ) i used my spare battery!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Misk77:
Yes, you should get better.

Use" betterbatteryStat " to find out your deep sleep... Otherwise it's something21 what are holding you phone awake and in use.

But your problem are ä: just Flashed and in screen on mode. So if it so It should get better in about 3 days.

First cycle with echoe rom v. 10 5.1 and ael kernel.

All orginal settings, s health on, gps high on, sync, on, Facebook on orginal settings, 2 email accounts orginal 15 minutes sync, 45 min spotify. View attachment 3460242

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Tab7.7Lover:
Guys, do you know at what rate your Note 4 is charging at? The app to check this is called Ampere. My N910C with 5.1.1 with fast charge charges at around 1020mA and sometimes briefly increase to 2000 or so.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] h8Aramex:
Never had a proper reading with that app.

And with no app either.

The only app I was able to use to detect good cables was called "Galaxy Charger current".

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abmantis.galaxychargingcurrent.free

But again, it will NOT show the proper readings.

It can be ONLY used to check if the cable delivers 1000+mAH for example.

Excessive wifi drain ?

When wifi is on it drains my battery super fast.Anyone knows of this bug ? I am on 5.1.1 N910C

http://imgur.com/CSlvxl7
[Galaxy Note 4 General] h8Aramex:
It's not the wifi, nor the wifi-on state. Some app calls a network (radio) lock and cannot release it. It is a known bug in Lollipop, affects all Lollipop devices and roms, and the only way to fix it is to apply the Xposed module OR remove the offending app. Usually 3rd party email clients, IM clients and stuff like that does this.

Here is the fix: http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/xposed-mobileradioactivefix-t3189393

Of course you need root + Xposed, so say goodbye to warranty if you do this.

The 5.1.1 upgrade also prompted me that I won't be able to downgrade anymore.

Don't know if that's true.

So, you either root, or remove WhatsApp and stuff like that.

How is your battery life on 5.1.1?

I'm running stock rom and almost get 4-4 and half hours of screen on time on a normal use. I have the Netherlands 5.1.1 from Sammobile.

Auto brightness is on at 0, sync is on with Google, Whatsapp and FB.

Wi-Fi and 4G data are always on, but most of the time I'm home on wireless.

Location is on battery saver.

How can I improve battery life ? Apparently I cannot post screenshots so I can't show you, but Android System is always on top of the screen as top consumer of battery.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] POLO_i780:
I must say, battery life has become much better in 5.1.1, I even run my phone with it searching for 4G LTE more often despite coverage still being super patchy here. My network supports LTE Cat.6 hence they did the N910F, and I am finding it gets either as good or better life than it did in 5.0.1 with LTE turned Off.

[MENTION=4552420]Danilo Pantelić[/MENTION] Thank you, I've paused just the voice thing because the rest of the apps are usefull .

The thing is that before my Note4 I had an LG G2 and on that phone 4h of SoT was a regular thing, with non of these options turned off.

Yesterday my top consumers were Android System and Android OS.

I don't know, it's not the first phone with android and it's not thr first phone which ks running stock but it's the most annoying that I can't find the problem.

I will try the app that was mentioned above and I'll be back like Arnold :)) .
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Minivan99:
Now although the Note4 battery was large, its time has largely passed. A lot of phones have 3000mAh batteries nowadays and there are even phones which have 4000 or even 6000mAh STOCK batteries. It used to get me anywhere between 4-7 hours of screen time but I've seen people get over 10 hours of screen time with VERY heavy control over wakelocks. So I suppose it is very possible to get great battery life if you do something about bloat and the system in general. I got an extended battery though so it's really not an issue for me.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] iAmRuSu:
My phone is almost a half year old so I don't blame the battery, I blame the software.

I've installed better battery stats, I unplugged the phone 2 hours ago and it stayed awake for 50 minutes so it's obvious it's software in my opinion.

You think if I reflash the rom it will be a solution?

For people with terrible battery life on 5.1.1, i reckon u should factory reset, then try it out, if no good, wipe cache/dalvik. re-flash 5.1.1 stock Lollipop, and cross finger's. Battery should be good in this latest Android version. Unless u have heaps of misc apps and there is 1 or more rogue app's thats draining or not behaving right, causing unusual wake-locks. etc

Battery suggestions -> I'm getting mad

Hi, after flashing 5.1.1 i got terrible battery life. I thougt it was becasue i didn't wipe and my phone was really full of stuffs (rooted, many apps, about full 32gb sd, build.prop enhancements, 3-4 flashed zip to modify layout). I didn't have something which was really dangerous, cpu/gpu settings were stock.

I restored everything, made some little modify and the system resulted smoother (nothing i didn't expect). Rooted, twrp, also installed last Emotion Kernel, i only activated the t2w double tap gesture.

This is the result of yesterday (whole day outside, many times flight mode as u can see, really normal and low usage. Why do I have such a bad result if everything seems right?

After this day i decided to charge my phone to 100%, leaving it with wifi on touching nothing all night and next morning. I just used it to download an heavy app (this explains google play battery usage) and sending some sms, whatsapp and e-mail.

This is the incredible result
