Dude get a nexus device. Don't go for Sammy then.

I love TouchWiz. Ppl complain of freezes etc. I never get it. And believe me m constantly on phone for fun (social apps games) and work (email etc) and studies (email, reading ppts and pdfs). And seriously the only think I wud change is my network. Cuz my battery burns on 3G alot quicker than on WiFi. And I think that's a network issue rather than note 4's.

As I said you have ur opinion.. likes and dislikes.. I have my own. I love note as it is from Sammy. Though I am considering getting a nexus device next instead of note 5 as now I've got a tablet to handle half of my tasks. Let's see how things turn out.

And the bloatware u are talking about... Google play services fb twitter... I use them every hr of every day.. can't disable them..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Batfink33:
You don't need to disable them,you can run an app like Servicely (if your rooted) to kill the apps when the screen is off. This will stop them running in the background and using battery. Also, the Service Update Google service which stops the phone deep sleeping and uses crazy amounts of battery pretty much does nothing and can easily be disabled.

I agree though that the amount of bloat apps that regularly kick off and cause the phone to stop deep sleeping is crazy but they can easily be added to the apps that can be killed in Servicely. It is a total nuisance though and wastes time trying to track them .

The N4 hardware wise is easily one of the best phones around today with an efficient,amazing low drain screen and powerful SOC,the S805 is the last decent chip Qualcomm released.If only there was a decent Touchwiz without the bloat apps causing the drain it would be the perfect phone .
[Galaxy Note 4 General] markyboy81:
I think I'm with you on this one..firstly I can't be bothered with tinkering/rooting/disabling apps here there and everywhere and then trying to work out which apps are eating my battery - this would take too much time for me. As a last resort I factory reset when things get sluggish, but I hate restoring everything.

Secondly I use most of the apps that people recommend disabling - facebook/twitter etc. And I use Google now so need location reporting and location on.

Thankfully I'm not far from a charger and the note 4 charges mighty fast. I charge fully overnight and then throughout the day I top up when necessary - in my car or at work - it's no big deal. I've also got one of the aukey fast chargers which charges the phone extremely fast.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Kernel ranger:
There's something about design and features that you can't quite get in a Nexus especially if you watch a Sammy vs Nexus review. Am sold for Sammy right now especially with what it can presently do. Like I use the S-pen alot and I mean alot. It's design and level of advancement I can't get it with any other phone.

If Sammy dare makes the mistake of making the design of the Note 5 like S6, it will be the last Note I ever buy from them.

I could do all what you do with FireFox + add-ons and WPS Office + PDF alone and save on battery and data simultaneously. I appreciate your input, it is worth noting and considering about the Nexus, I'll be waiting to see if they produce a Note like device :).
[Galaxy Note 4 General] cricketgirl90:
Mine lasts whole work day.. even after working hrs if m going out with friends. When I get home I charge it. I have a charger in my bag always but I never have to use it... I don't mind charging the phone every night too...

Love my note 4. Enough that I will not jump to note 5 immediately after release. I can hang onto it till Jan/Feb. But maybe if nexus is appealing enough with multi window in android M. I just might get a nexus. Let's see...

---------- Post added at 05:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 PM ----------

Well mine is exynos version and it doesn't drain much on standby. I lose like 2 to 4% overnight (6 to 8 hrs).

Even if m out and phone is in my bag connected to WiFi (at work) or 3G (at uni). I don't lose much battery. I admit I lose more on 3G than on WiFi though. .. for which I blame my network.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
wifi uses alot less compared to mobile data for me on any phone including iphones.

and ofc screen uses less power. note 4 screen use 0.8W on average use and 1.8W on worst scenario but for example exynos note can use 7W only with cpu and and s805 note 4 can reach 9.4W with everything this value probably same for exynos too so if you push hard you can probably make your battery die in half an hour or something. but thankfully governers never let this happen your cpu never stays on high frequencies( only for few secs) and if you arent playing games your gpu dont go high too to manage battery and heat. ( i used numbers from these reviews)

http://www.displaymate.com/Galaxy_Note4_ShootOut_1.htm

http://www.anandtech.com/show/8718/the-samsung-galaxy-note-4-exynos-review/6

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-4-SM-N910F-Smartphone-Review.130554.0.html

and yes screen on time doesnt matter you dont even need you phone to idle just watch video it will push your screen on timers higher too. you can even make your battery die without opening the screen

also standby time is doesnt matter too for example my stock phone just loose 1-2% over night with wifi on and sync for twitter mails everything open (location on power saving mode) . but i see alot of people loose too much battery on standby cuz apps make alot difference. for example if you are using google now it drains battery, if you let google to track your activity from google settings and track your location and wifi scanning, and if you have alot of apps that gives notification and wakes your phone whole time your standby time and even your usage will be different.

and if some1 live in a bad signal area on mobile his battery life will be bad.

so every note 4 cant have same battery life cuz all of them used by different people and even if they used by same person battery life still probably different cuz of chip binning for example best exynos 5433 and worst exynos 7420 use almost same power even 1 is 14 nm 1 is 20 nm and totally different.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gekkehenkie11:
What it means, is for example

<item name="dsp.audio">38</item>

Is that DSP audio consumes 38 ma/hour. The battery is 3320 ma, so you could use DSP audio for 3220/38= 84 hours :) However of course your CPU needs to be active so you'll need to add that too.

How I got it: this data is supplied by samsung, they put it into the ROM and it's used by Lollipop to calculate/estimate the battery usage. So Samsung measured it themselves [/quote]

Might be. But again, I don't think SoT is a relevant number in itself, since the display itself isn't the biggest battery consumer. It depends on what you do during SoT.

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ----------

Well according to those stats supplied by Samsung it's a huge difference with wifi consuming way more than mobile data. I guess one could try it with for example a usenet leecher, have it run for an hour and see what it drains.

Just look at the data I posted. It's just impossible to make it die within 2 hours. If it dies within 2 hours, there's something wrong with your battery.

No, just look again at the data I posted. Even at top speed (which it wont run all the time) you wont be able to drain it within 2 hours. If it does, there's somethign wrong with the device.

well like i said in daily usage wifi uses less battery i cant measure how much battery they use but phone definetly lasts longer with wifi. maybe mobile data can get better scores if you stand near a cell tower with full signal always and never move so phone wont try to find better signal. but its not optional.

these are the stats what samsung provide for 3g/4g and lte

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SM-N910AZKEATT

about half an hour it was just a wild guess for worst scenario (max freq on cpu/gpu) but im sure you cant understand it from that stats you found. like i said note 4 use around 10 W in worst scenario it has 12.400W battery you can calculate maybe
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Kernel ranger:
The argument about which consumes more Mobile data or WiFi is useless and a waste of time because none of you with all those different results are being served by the very same Mobile Service Provider. The only constant thing is WiFi signal field. So all your points of which is draws more power is totally useless. The only time any of your comments will be valid is if you can continually monitor your Mobile signal strength which will have radical swings than being in a constant field of WiFi. My signal right now is very strong (-65dBm 24asu) but I have seen it dip to (-77dBm 19asu) yet I would be in the same exact position so I can't say it will drain more or less than WiFi and it is exactly my experience. WiFi is clearly more laborious even if the signal strength is all bars full.

I totally agree with this finding because I experienced that with browsing with FireFox and WiFi in this test I carried out here:- http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61393665&postcount=1944
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gekkehenkie11:
I admit it's a bit confusing the least .. The battery says 12.40 Wh. I wonder though how those guys measured that 10W, if that's even correct. I also wonder if there's something missing in that list I provided (which again, is coming from Samsung and used to calculate battery usage). For example I don't see the GPU factored in. Since the GPU runs at seperate clock speed than the CPU, I wonder if that's included in the data or not, I'd guess not ... And then there's for example NFC.. But then again, I would be highly surprised if that would make up for the difference in calculation...

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ----------

For example, this link you posted 100% sure isnt correct: http://www.displaymate.com/Galaxy_Note4_ShootOut_1.htm

They say the screen takes 1.8W at maximum brightness, which would translate to less than 7 hours SoT, and that's even without counting the CPU power ! As I stated before, if you leave your screen on and do nothing, you'll get WAY more than that. So that's incorrect for sure.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
Its probably the most power usage of phone includes everything not just cpu.

About screen time 1.8W is for full white screen and full brightness it will probably die in 7 hours in a scenario like that but you can see avarage usage there its much lesser white screen uses alot of battery on amoled its even more intense on baterry compared to brightness.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gekkehenkie11:
I highly doubt it's that, I suspect the data supplied by Samsung will be correct, but will run some tests myself, using full white screen
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gekkehenkie11:
Ok just did a small test, full brightness, my normal back ground, without data, wifi etc. Ran 80 minutes, battery dropped 9%, so that would be over 11 hours SoT. Will try later today with full white screen and see if that makes a difference, I doubt it differs much.

BTW this corresponds quite good with the data Samsung supplied: Screen full = 223, cpu at 300 mhz = 34, so total 257 MaH. So that would be 3320/257=12.5 hours SoT.

In other words, I'm pretty sure the guys in that link you posted messed up.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/9394/analysing-amoled-power-efficiency

new review from anandtech and they say 1.7W for note 4 so basically displaymate was right too.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Kernel ranger:
I fail to understand why apps have to be developed to persistently run in the ram in readiness yet impact greatly on the phone's battery and are better off killed by so many battery saving apps like servicely that come up these days. It has even been noted that killing them off does impact positively on the battery when they are started and stopped when not needed. I have actually seen improvement on installing an app killer. What is wrong with app developers, why can't they see their detrimental effects of implementing an app with daughter background services and pointless wakelocks to persistently run in the ram and then ruin the user's battery life experience?

- in the myfile explorer, when i check the details of the "sd memory card" it says the size is 7.9gb and there are about 3000 files (incoherent with the previous point...)

- when i explore the content of the sd card, i can find back a dozen old pictures in dcim/camera but everything else is empty except the lost.dir directory which seems to contain almost all of the 3000 files.

- i have a number of emty directories prefixed by the greek "mu" letter
