Anybody noticed a difference in SOT when comparing the stats in Smart Manager and GSAM?

Smart manager gives me 58m SOT but GSAM 1h 22m?

My guess is that Smart Manger is the correct one, but not sure....

My battery life improved since going back to kitkat

I also don't use the Gmail app (wich constantly syncs) but the native samsung email client and I set syncing to each 30min.

I also use greenify

My screen light is set to max, I have Facebook, data always on, sync, Smartstay on and localisation always on.

My phone is rooted. I disabled many system Samsung and Google services including voice assistants, nfc etc

I like to keep all confort so I often use the phone

My note 4 finish the day with 25 % on average

I insists on kitkat. Since android 5 and I'm sur it will be the same with android 6, my exynos note 4 heats more and uses more battery. So for me, kitkat is the best I've used on my note 4.

I was here a while back and posted some amazing battery stats and someone warned me it's because of my phone being new the first few days but here is my phone's capability as of a few days ago, my phone is 6 months old with the performance shown here:-

View attachment 3586235

Well that kind of idle time I have managed through further optimization by denying wakelock access to both system and user apps that don't need it, I have also denied whatsapp precise location and approximate locatin tracking and it's amazing how much more time I got my phone to idle at 100% full battery charge & for 10% drop on light internet usage with average signal strength on data I will get 1hr 30min and am not making that up.

I recently switched to Lollipop 5.1.1 and as always, I can't use a phone that isn't rooted as I have been spoilt by SuperUser capabilities. Am rooted and am having a hard time replicating those results above from Kitkat 4.4.4 rooted but am only 1 day into Lollipop, am still exploring it and exactly how it handles its processes. I can quickly say am very impressed by its high load RAM management, it's nothing short of breath taking.

Hi guys, i have a little issue with my Note 4.

I'm on Nameless Rom (and kernel tho) with 910F,and i've noticed that when i'm at 20 or 30%, my phone reboot and suddenly show 2-3% left. When i plug my phone, he show and when i wait a little, he show 20-30%.

They were also this problem on CM12.1 so i think it's not because of him.

Dis someone have an idea?

Thanks a lot, and Merry Christmas! :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Cryingmoose:
Similar thing happening to me running rooted stock (Bell). Phone would drop directly from 15% to 5% within seconds (skipping 14-6%), and then shutdown within a minute or 2.

Tried a battery calibration app, phone got to 18%, shut down, plugged it in and it showed 0%.

I suspect it is a kernel issue. I have the same problem right after upgrading to Lollipop 5.1.1.

First, I was impressed that the battery seemed to last longer after the upgrade, but the phone went dead at 15% remaining charge. So, no, 5.1.1 does not give longer battery life.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] POLO_i780:
For those with battery issues, try charge up to 100%, then go into Recovery, Wipe Cache, then run the phone down until its dead and let it charge up to 100% while turned Off.

I am back to stock rom Kitkat 4.4.4 and now everything is fine, battery SOT is 5-6 hors, standbay is about 22-26 hors, with my old battery. (my battery is old 10 months)

I am very hepy with my KitKat 4.4.4,

KitKat 4.4.4 is much better than 5.1.1 lollipop, battay life is is twice as high, and camera is a much better,

the camera samples on KitKat 4.4.4 have more megabytes in size about 50-70% compared to 5.1.1 Lolipop.

Samsung, Why are you doing this, why degraded Note 4 with new firmware ???

Maybe are hoping to better sales of the new model Note 5, who knows !!!

Does it have any effect on the charging ? Thanks

[Galaxy Note 4 General] inu629:
I've never had any problem with fast charging, been using it all the time. But I've read somewhere that you should use it only while u need it. For daily usage, use only normal charge.

My experience, to save huge amount of battery life is to set your battery drain apps to app optimization in smart manager, especially Facebook.

I was under the impression 5.1.1 is a locked bootloader and you cannot downgrade
[Galaxy Note 4 General] horiakyys:
That's exactly what I thought also. But battery life was really bad with lollipop. I took my chances and did it. With absolutely no problem. As I mentioned, it feels like a have a totally different phone. This morning, for example, I left home with 68%,and after 6 hours of constantly checking email, messages and a lot of videos from Facebook, I plugged it in at 27%. Totally happy
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sutty86:
On further reading up on it ,it seems snapdragon chipsets can downgrade,can you confirm your on snapdragon and if so can you link us to stock 4.4.4 roms

I have heard 4.4.4 is better with battery life and camera.

Which is why i bought the phone

Looking for 4.4.4 uk firmware if possible

I lost the original charger and I'm using the notebook's USB port for charging, recharge time is about 5~6 hours (Exynos version)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ithehappy:
I think that's normal considering the fact that the USB charging rate is really slow (of much lower amps) than AC charging, for me the same happens, I plug in my phone to my rig and even after watching a whole movie of for couple of hours or so the battery percentage gains very little.

You could just try to use a kernel with USB Fast Charging feature until you get a new charger. That should cut the whole charging time by at least 80% or so.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] DarthJe5us:
Help. Battery charge just drops and doesn't hold power. I can barely get 2h sot if im lucky, yesterday it was 1.2h before it went from ~50% to 3%. I have no idea what's going on. I'm bellow 50% brightness all the time. :(

Is 7% and 9% too low? In GSam it shows much higher %
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hiimimtayaz:
I had similar kind of problem.... Sudden drops from 15% to 1-2%.... And I couldn't use the device after 10% as it gets restart every time. I tried calibration and all sorts of stuff but nothing helped... So finally I changed the battery and all those problems are history now.... :)

Hello everyone,

I bought a Note 4 yesterday from a private vendor.

I used the phone Info check app & it turned out my device was charged ~40 times.

Everything was fine until I drained it to 0% to do a full cycle recharge.

My note charged pretty fast during the first 45 minutes under fast charge,

but then it stopped at 77%. I then unplugged & replugged the charger, it charged a couple more % then stopped again.

Is there something wrong with my battery or my charger? I used the wall charger.
