Try this (If you haven't already):

1) Go to wifi setting and turn off SMART NETWORK SWITCH.

2) Go to advanced setting for Wifi and uncheck the following: A) Always allow scanning. B) Passpoint. C) Network notification (Optional). D) Keep Wifi on during sleep (Change it to ONLY WHEN PLUGGED IN)

Primary responsibilities of ConnectivityService:

1) Monitor network connections (Wi-Fi, GPRS, UMTS, etc.)

2) Send broadcast intents when network connectivity changes

3) Attempt to "fail over" to another network when connectivity to a network is lost

4) Provide an API that allows applications to query the coarse-grained or fine-grained state of the available networks

5) Provide an API that allows applications to request and select networks for their data traffic

Left it on airplane mode for over 4 hours and system and systemui are still being a PITA. [emoji30]

There should be a new version of sweet Rom coming tomorrow and I'll see if it helps.

I was getting 6 hours SoT on KitKat, I upgraded to Lollipop and it has immediately dropped to around 3.5-4hours. Awful, I think I might go back, how do I do that? or are there other things I should try first. I am very conservative with the features I have switched on and dont have that many apps installed.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dorinrockeru:
Go to sammobile and dowload the software for your note model and flash the rom with odin...and voila...no battery drain
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
Only yesterday I got 6hours SOT with LP. You have to manage your services and apps.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Misk77:
I get about 6 screen on using YouTube on lp.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Psycho_MK:
I don't know why people are tripping that LP sucks. If you don't know how to manage your android device and debloat the useless apps that drain your battery, then be my guest and go buy yourself an Iphone.

I am getting average 5-7 hours SOT on LP 5.0.1 on the N910C variant. Auto brightness with wi-fi browsing most of the time and a bit of 4G browsing (Google Chrome). If i decrease the brightness manually and turn on power saving maybe i will get 7+ hours of SOT. I'm going to test it these days and post the results.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] patriotaki:
Today the android system used more battery than the screen

I got 5h of SOT is it normal? Or is something wrong? I used alot of 4G also today
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dorinrockeru:
You should telling us you're secrets ☺
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lbreak:
I'm getting awful battery life on LP.

For the first 8 hours or so things would be fine, battery drain would be 1% every 2 hrs or so in Standby.

And then, all of a sudden, Mobile Data will stay on even though Wi-Fi is already connected, and the battery will just plummet. No I don't and have never used download booster. My Wi-Fi and Data show up as both on and connected in the notification bar. No amount of switching data on/off will remove this. Switching data off will disconnect data, but as soon as you turn it back on, it remains on even though I'm already on Wi-Fi.

When I look in to battery stats, I've realised a new reading in LP "Total Connection Time" which shows how long each app is connected to Mobile Data.

So for example, Android System may have used 30 minutes of CPU, but "Total Connection Time" to data is over 2 hrs. Android OS and Chrome and Facebook are of similar stats. Something keeps the mobile data on and running in the background which renders the battery dead.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dorinrockeru:
We know, it was the same thing for me. ..until Samsung will release a fix downgrade back to KK, it's much better than LP for me
[Galaxy Note 4 General] yoniinfante:
if you can read you can see he just told you what to do, manage your apps, disable apps and background processes, everything u don't use, or need, disable it, calibrate ur battery, and your battery of course is gonna get better, cheers:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
A lesson I learnt a few years ago from Francisco Franco. With Android you have to take control of your running apps and processes. It's not the OS that's causing drain, it's everything that's running on the OS that causes it. Apps, services, bloatware, sensors etc.

---------- Post added at 01:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 AM ----------

Hibernate Chrome and Facebook, turn off all the sensors you don't need, disable the Google Services "update service" that the article on XDA talked about how it causes drain. Sign out of your Google account then reboot and sign back in again.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] yoniinfante:
I have over 100 google play services disable, I sync my emails and apps manually, and my top 10 most use apps are off using Titanium backup widgets, while im not using it they stay off, until I personally open them, at least my standby time has been incredible, im most of the time at work where I use computers, I only use my phone for my needs, fb,whatsapp,instagram,playing racing rivals, right now im at almost 1 day of usage almost 2hrs SOT and still 55% remaining, which for me is just awesome, cheers:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] yoniinfante:
Im pretty happy with my results i can easily get almost 2 days and close to 6hrs SOT...for me...thats enough:p

Painful lesson which makes iOS so much less taxing on general life. When things go wrong on Android, it takes over your life to fix it, if you ever do fix it, which is why many general consumers come to Android and go straight back to iOS. Rant over.

How do I go about the Google Services "update service" thing? I disabled google play services and re-enabled meaning I had to re-sign in to all my Google related accounts. Is this what you meant?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] yoniinfante:
Ive shared this already on this thread but I will again for anybody who wants to, but here is a list and step by step how to disable all Useless Google Play Services,

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
Yeah, I do agree. Android is essentially a mini PC where you have to alter and adjust things to get it to run properly. IOS is more take it out the box and that's it good to go. You can do so much more with Android than you can with the locked down IOS however. I guess ultimately it's what you're looking for from your device.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] electech13:
It really seems like there is a big swing from one varient to the next..especially in the LP update and battery life.

My W8's (SnapDragon) and others who have same are all getting great battery life and LP has actually worked surprisingly well, although i still prefer KK atm.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dorinrockeru:
Wooow...now that's really nice. ..no android system battery drain
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
My latest battery cycle. 4hr 30 SOT with battery still left, Almost flat line drain during sleep. Update Service disabled and Facebook etc hibernated on screen off....
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dorinrockeru:
Thank you, i can read but when I have asked for his secrets i was meaning to details. ..what services to close,what apps to disable etc
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
I've hibernated pretty much almost every app except Twitter and Tapatalk as I use them the most and don't want to have to fully start them every time I open them up. I've only disabled a few services. The big drain from Google Services comes from update service. I have Servicely kill the apps/services on screen off only. With Rom toolbox I've disabled quite a few system apps like context manager, software update, Knox, weather, unified Demon,health, link platform, help (which was using cpu cycles strangely),smart remote (which was running all the time),passport settings. On the Rom Toolbox app screen it shows you a little electric line which means the app is running. If it's an app your not using or looks strange then disable it,but be careful you don't disable an app that is important to the system or you'll get force closes.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] EP2008:
So am update from my problems from a few days ago re: High could on system and systemui. I flashed an updated version of Sweet ROM (v10) and I'm thrilled by the results!

I've never seen standby battery life like this before!

This is with:

-WiFi on

- 3 Gmail accounts syncing

- Facebook pages manager, instagram, twitter, reddit notifications.

- one titanium backup schedule.

- some very selective app/service freezing.

Can't wait to see what the SOT is like in a few days.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] jayesh:
Pretty much this. I love android and have for a long time, but this is a reason i always keep an iPhone at hand. The lollipop update for me, took 3 resets and several recharge cycles to settle. I had my main sim in the iPhone till then and left it there, for stability.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dorinrockeru:
I have installed WLD and it's doesn't work. ..my phone it's rooted ...any help?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
Use better battery stats. It will ask if you want to install it as a system app when you start it, say yes.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] cricketgirl90:
I dunno what's the reason but my unrooted un greenified phone lasts longer than rooted greenified and DS battery saver... on stock lollipop rom.. how's that possible?

Rooted lasted 3 hrs of SOT 14 to 16 hrs standby. Whereas unrooted lasts atleast 4 hrs of SOT with over 24 hrs of standby. Can anyone explain this? Same use.. no change.. WiFi 3G fb whatsapp telegram viber twitter 3 Gmail account syncs etc.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] yoniinfante:
ive been rooting android phones since 2009, rooting does not affect battery usage or life, it doesnt get longer or shorter. And even if you think u had the same use. you didnt, but hey shyt happens, every phone acts differently, every cpu, kernel, modem, etc etc, its like cars, if we both get 2 Nissan GTRs, maybe mine get from 0-60mph in 2.7 sec but maybe yours do the same in 3.1sec, can you explain that? they are machine, computers, just like the phone ur using, trust me, every phone out there performs differently, good luck, cheers:fingers-crossed:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Jarrive:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] starnode:
I've been able to achieve about 3.5 days on a single charge. I had 7 hours of SoT.

The device is a SM-N910F (Intl. Note 4) running a non-rooted stock Lollipop ROM (N910FXXU1BOC5, baseband BOC4.)

It has BT enabled and is paired with a Moto 360 Android Wear watch. WiFi is disabled and network connectivity only relies on 4G, since this ROM has the "WiFi flaw" (the device/OS stays awake when WiFi's enabled.) I have also disabled some of the bloatware I do not use (about 30 actually) along with Google Now features since most of these are provided by other apps.

Quite satisfied with the result, although it would be nice if Samsung could address that WiFi issue. It didn't suffer from it until an intermediate KitKat update before Lollipop (the original KitKat-based ROM back last november was fine.)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] clintonroche:
Signal strength, apps installed, number of notifications, vibration settings..... Numerous factors effect battery life. Every person is different. I get awesome battery life on the weekends and horrible on week days. I believe everyone on here.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] h8Aramex:
Here is the LP drain issue on the tracker, just found it through Google: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=165558

Remember, click the top-left star.

"Funny" though, LG and HTC patched this in their L, both phones function perfectly normal with outstanding battery life even after L.

But Samsung, now it had to be that special kid. Of course they let this slip through.

For now, there is downgrade.

But will it trip Knox? No idea. I have made a thread about it, will wait and see what people say.

I really hope it won't, because KitKat was just fine, and I guess Samsung will push a new LP build out to fix the problem.

Maybe weeks, months later, who knows. But until then, I don't want to keep my phone indoors just so I can enjoy superior battery life.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] quadlt:
You don't believe what?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] patriotaki:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] MohamedYousri:
In work days , i get only around 13~15 Hours of Battery with medium calls and Mobile Data is On For around 3 hours

Screen Time is around 3 Hours max :(

don't know how can i get a better battery life

i am using Note 3 charger if this makes any difference
[Galaxy Note 4 General] h8Aramex:
No worries, LP destroyed battery life for almost everyone.

I have tried to downgrade, but it's impossible.

Unless you root and disable OTA.

(Once your firmware is the latest KK, the phone will just forcefully download the new Lollipop update.

There is NO WAY to prevent it. I tried _everything_.)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Jarrive:
Thst you can have 7 hours SOT, and still using the Note as a phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] POLO_i780:
It is possible, especially if you watch series/movies as well on it. There are days when I get back from work and I am too tired to even go to the tv room, I just whip out my Note 4 and watch 2-3 episodes of shows I have (currently watching Game of Thrones, Shameless, Newsroom and finishing up 'The 100').

Due to modern SoCs efficiency and Samsung's crazy SAMOLED optimizations, you can easily hit +7hours SOT with watching video.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Gold3nCloud:
​

Yes, you can get 7 hrs of SOT. You just need to learn how to manage your app, and you need to know which app is causing trouble for the battery. I have sync on, my weather app updates every 15 mins, location on, NFC on because I use tap and pay for Google wallet, yet I get 5+hrs SOT and in stand by mode, it can last 34+ hrs. I use my phone a lot. I don't use any battery saving app or built-in battery saving feature from samsung. I only use 2 apps and I really rely on them: Greenify and Leandroid.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Tommolo:
Hello, I've updated my Note 4 to the BOC5 italian update with a factory reset for a while now, but I'm experiencing a huge battery drain on these last days. The battery lasts much much less than before, even without a stress use.

I've noted that Android System is always the first one in the battery section, while screen is not. For example, in this exact moment I have 33% of battery (only 8 h of use) and screen time is the 5th one in the section (2h of screen on) before Android System (18%), Android Operating System (8%) and Facebook and Google Play Services (6% each).

I think I might have a problem, I used to have 6-7 hours on with Kitkat and 5 h of screen on with Lollipop, but now it is impossibile. What do I do?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] cricketgirl90:
I don't want to downgrade. Nor factory reset the phone. I don't have time to set it all up again.. I'll just charge it wherever and whenever I can ?

"Downgrade" and then root so it doesn't "upgrade" you again. Either that or get used to poor battery life and hope that it gets fixed in a future update.

To be honest this is the first time in the five years I've been using Android that the iPhone 6 plus has been looking kind of attractive. Losing four hours of my life to "downgrade" and then set everything up again from scratch was really starting to test my patience. Maybe I'm just getting old and boring but I really just want my phone to work these days.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jayesh:
Reason i plan to get rid of mine. I went through a period of having bad battery life, then awesome, really awesome and then bloody awful for days on end. . I am no fan of iPhone's camera, but i can consistently expect great battery life even in the most trying of conditions.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dr.m0x:
Yeah the fact that Google even let such a horrible battery destroying bug into production software has really diminished my love of Android. Now that iOS has a quick toggles menu and Swype keyboard available it's starting to get seriously tempting. Someone talk me out of it please? I feel dirty just thinking about it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jayesh:
I dont get this mindset. What are you feeling dirty about? Are you really hooking up your 'emotional happiness' to a handset? If something is performing consistently better, without issues, would you not consider it over a flashy brilliant product, prone to bull**** drops? Consider this if it was a team. You have a reliable trusty team member, who while not offering the most variety of skillsets, delivers on the basics in a reliable, guaranteed fashion without issues. You know you can implicitly trust it to get the job done. or you have a flashy team member, with rockstar experience in many fronts, but is temperamental, moody and is a below average performer.

Who would you chose? I know i would go for reliability every time.

After this post, i fully expect to get 'rundown' or slaughtered by people, saying if it works for them, it did not happen and that i am an 'ifool'. This is furthest from the truth. I have been doing this phone bull**** from the late 90s and been on these forums, before Android even existed. I frankly just want products to work, without me having to baby them. I got teams to manage, people to meet and spending a few hours every couple of months either resetting or changing roms or 'rooting' to fix an issue, is just not my cup of tea any longer.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] dr.m0x:
I don't actually feel that dirty about it, it was said in jest as someone who was an Android "fanboy" for quite a while. The only thing keeping me from changing today is the cost of a 64 gb iPhone 6 plus. I really want to jump but I'm not sure I can justify it. Mind you if I take off the resale value of the Note 4 and the amount of hours I've spent over the years fiddling with this phone and past Android devices just to get an acceptable experience from them, it's starting to look rather cheap. As I said it was fun for me once but I'm really getting sick of it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] cricketgirl90:
I don't get the obsession with iphone. When I used iphone yes I love it... it hanged.... battery died.. crappy camera... but I loved it... but then I got s3 and it was like "wow I can also do this".. then I got note 2. And I was sold... note 4's functionality including battery life cannot be compared to iphone. It may have gotten better.. but still iphone is v restricting. . I wud restart my phone every morning if I have to but m not switching from android....

On second thought if m rich enough I can get iPhone 6 as second phone.. but not the first
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
All depends on your usage. Android I feel is a more of a tinkerers device. I like the fact I can flash Roms /kernels and adjust voltages, Cpu speeds etc. I can also download mp3 and videos from torrents and without ITunes. The IPhone is probably a more out of the box experience and if that's what you want then go for it. I just couldn't go back to such a locked down device but I agree, Lollipop has been a bit of a mess.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Tommolo:
Nope I don't think it's lollipop, while I was sleeping I lost 21% of battery
[Galaxy Note 4 General] deep!:
It is not lollipop, i am getting same battery life as KK.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Tommolo:
I know it's not Lollipop, I was having great battery life before. The question is, how can I find what is the app that is causing this huge wakelock?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] deep!:
Your phone is continuous awake for 9hr, go to usage and see which app is causing it.

I use greenify on my non rooted and hibernate some system apps and battrey drain app like facebook etc.

disable what you don't need, such as S-voice, unified daemon etc.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Tommolo:
The battery section says no app in particular, but the first in the list is Android System with 40% of usage. Android System integrates A LOT of apps, how can I understand which one it is? :(
[Galaxy Note 4 General] h8Aramex:
Haha, exactly this. Especially the iPhone part.

But heck, twice the price, 1/4 the specs. That's enough me to kill the idea.

Without towelroot though, or any other root that would not trip KNOX - no sane person should root.

Warranty comes in handy, I had several defective Samsung products.

It happens with electronics, they all got repaired, but that is the reason I want to keep my warranty.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] quadlt:
Oh don't worry, I have tried every single 'battery saving' method from freezing apps to greenifying and amplifying. My record through out the whole half a year of tweaks and rom changes is 3 hrs of sot. Really leaning towards the faulty device idea.
