According to GSMArena, these are the battery tests:

http://www.gsmarena.com/battery-test.php3

Sony Z3c, 101h

Note 4, 87h

if that's the case, then the Note 4 should get around 75% of a day of SOT (more like around 16 hours of SOT??).. we aren't even getting half of that.. I'm not saying your dad is lying.. haha, just wondering why ours is doing so poorly.. maybe it has to do with Touchwiz vs Sony's interpretation of Android (don't know the actual name)..? I just want to improve my battery at the end of the day.. I'm almost done with my 30 minute test and will upload soon.. let's see if this new combination is better or not (DS Battery Saver - deepsleep mode all the time, not slumberer, but custom.. set 12am-11:59pm in 'night mode') and Memory Booster (to clear all apps when I shut off screen)...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ShadowFlare:
If you look for Z3C reviews or visit the Z3C forum, often its battery life is touted second to none.. I have the Z3C and I can vouch for the super battery life on it under normal use. Although I probably get around 8 hours SOT over 2 days use, 1.5hrs of Bluetooth headset each day. it's still amazing because I use LTE and the signal for LTE in London is always ****e because my Standby time would be at the top of the list and I would never see any Green signal health in the History Details.

Now I'm on Note 4.... because I'm weak when it comes to 1440p AMOLED :D
[Galaxy Note 4 General] michsu:
95% battery
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jonneymendoza:
Battery life is quite shocking. According to the power management screen. It's the android system eating away my battery more then the screen?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] clintonroche:
My battery today.... Been great lately.

Seriously... how the hell are you getting nearly 9 hours SOT?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] JanNegron:
Unplug at 5 a.m, UPSM on until I finish university around 1 pm. I'm happy with the results. :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] kunlegzy:
Pls I have a question to ask. I ordered for Sammy galaxy note 4 external dock battery charger. Official small box where you place your spare battery in, close up and charge. But I already ordered before I realise that it's samsung galaxy note sm9100 duos , immediately I went to confirm the battery stats I realise it's 3000mah while our regular note 4 sm910 series has 3200mah battery capacity. My question is will this charging combo work with my normal note 4 battery am using the regular 910 series. Pls help.

---------- Post added at 04:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:06 AM ----------

And again in terms of size are they the same ? Will it work for me so that I won't need to cancel my other ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] POLO_i780:
BOOM! :D

That is excellent, you went right past 8hours and were just a few mins near 9hours OST, how on earth did you manage? I think my hand would be sore from so much use.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ShadowFlare:
Unless he has other screenshots, SOT stats can easily be manipulated.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] redphazon:
Here's mine:

Nova Launcher (if this affects battery any), most AT&T apps and numerous other unwanted things disabled. Screen-on time was spent playing games, watching video, web browsing or just screwing around in general.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bogdan_wrc:
I am really not satisfied with the battery life.

besides this, i keep it connected with LG G watch, 3 emails sync...sometimes GPS on battery saver...

its new...after one week use. shall i be patient? shall i do a factory restore?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ShadowFlare:
Give it a few more charge cycles I say. Besides, your Note is getting the full workout with your set up, so in my opinion that battery life is about right.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] yshaikh01:
My Usage

Hi

This is my battery usage, SD Model, Stock.

Nova Launcher, 2 Email accounts (personal and work exchange,auto sync every 4 hrs), Personal and work calander (Google and Exchange), Twitter (auto sync every 4hrs), Weather (every 2 hrs, current location), Whatsapp, some gaming (FIFA 15), Appy Geek, Youtube, Browsing, calls (around 40mins), LTE during the day (8-5) otherwise WiFi and some Play Store activity.

Have got some stuff disabled. S-Health not configured, Location in "GPS Mode". :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] donkon:
I'm not really sure what happened but yesterday I decided to disable Memory booster pro and battery saver pro on my 100% charge. Before with the apps turned on I was getting around 6 hrs S0T 100% - 0% with no widgets, notifications, videos, games.

Now with those 2 apps disabled I watched some YT for about an hour and made couple calls and used it heavily with both wifi and LTE and have updating weather and screens full of widgets. I'm at 6 hrs 30 min with 20% battery still left.

I'm not complaining BTW :) just baffled. Atleast the apps are still extremely useful on my note 12.2 as battery on that device is horrid.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ausboy 2011:
Exynos is battery king :D
[Galaxy Note 4 General] joelteixeira:
Amazing battery life and antenna signal. On the other hand I can barely reach 3H SoT and got a terrible signal with Vivo on Brazil (my signal line is almost completely yellow). Could you please share what other modifications you made to reach such a great result?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ausboy 2011:
Debloated a few apps location turned off im on stock rom rooted greenify alot of user apps I have and some system apps also. I still manage 8 hours sot using whatsapp and facebook+messenger
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Bazzillio:
Well, I am very satisfited with my note4, with my usage it can live almost 4 days with 8h sot ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tinker_tf:
Hmm, I'm not quite sure what to make of mine. SM-N910F. Haven't rooted, so running everything as it came out of the box.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Itchiee:
That was well over one day of course. All samsung devices are the same, great hardware thats running too much software. Ive rooted and tweaked, changed to Nova and removed some programs from start up (there are usually a dozen running most times compared to everyone elses). The first couple of charge cycles i filled up and drained completely. Not much else... I use it as a pedometer so thats always on too. That was a best case obviously, my usual SOT varies between 6-8 hours. Plenty of good tips in this and other threads here.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] clintonroche:
LOL...:laugh: he has a great signal. That is why he has such great battery. Just proof that this is a great phone, but if you have a bad signal you battery life will suffer. Try using Wifi as much as possible. That will help increase your battery life.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] clintonroche:
I think your issue might be that your signal isn't very strong... when I am at work and my signal is lower i get worse battery then when I am in a strong area.

The green is strong and the grey is not... I believe.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] michsu:
I'm going to do a full run on OST.. just at work and running video after video of Crunchyroll (some are 30 minutes episodes (actually only 23-25 minutes), and some are 45 minute ones).. let's see what I get.. I did change TWO big factors though : 1) lowered brightness to manual about 20-25%.. 50% actually is too bright sometimes during the day and night.. 10% is good for night, but 20-25% is perfect for most of the day.. have an app to do that.. 2) set my 'push' emails (I use 'Nine' email program and have three emails - two personal / one work - all set to '1 hour'), before I had set to 'push' and maybe that was eating up too much memory...

Currently, at 70% I have about 3 hours OST.. I'll post my screenshots here so far.. I'll run it down throughout the day and update accordingly... next one after lunch, so hopefully down to 50% or so..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] michsu:
69% screenshot.. as you can see, I'm at work (on the 16th floor), and we don't have very good signal up here.. screen timeout at 1 minute.. since I'm trying to max out the OST, I may get higher OST than some people.. because they will have higher standby times as a tradeoff.. I just want to see how high it can go if one were to watch videos the whole day.. animation usually has much more changes to the display so it's a good test..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] blackinifinty:
I wonder, I am new on this forum but has there been any conclusion in this thread ?

Is exynos or snapdragon version better in terms of batterylife, for real time use, which means Internet traffic and all..and not only cpu/gpu use. I see a few screenshots with 8.7 hour battery life, this is good, but on what brightness ?

there is times especially on the summer where one is forced full brightness all day..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] clintonroche:
Hahaha... when I read your post on this i feel like they should start "Dear Diary...." :laugh:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] t1337dude:
There's absolutely no way anyone could deduce what you're asking unless something had both phones and conducted such a test. If someone did, I'm sure there'd be some attention regarding that result. If someone's done it, I haven't seen it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] blackinifinty:
The on screen time with full brigthness is a test that should be very consistant atleast for non video watching.

the on screen time with full brightness is important for sure.. I know Exynos version use less battery for the cpu/gpu ?

But the external Modem is more power hungry then on the SD version ?

I do not want to stare blind on the batter life on cpu/gpu only, the modem is just as important, since we use mostly our mobile phones for internet, and you are always connected..

I live in Sweden, I have to import either from Usa amazon or poland, in current price it would be cheaper to important from usa/amazon (including import tax of 25%)

Anyway, the price is going down on the Note 4, was just released a few days ago in sweden, but right now the price is a nightmare..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] michsu:
Dear Diary.. it's after lunch ....why did you drop to 43% now?.. I hate you! I hate you!.. now I will have to charge you sooner than expected.. only 5 hours SOT so far?? Calculating a 1% loss per standby hour, I'm hoping to get 6-7 SOT by the time you drop to 10%.. the last 10% would be more for standby to increase it big-time.. as long as you can do 6-7 SOT, I can be happy.. with 43% left, it should be easy for you.. I will be leaving work in about 30 minutes now.. so I'll post one last update before I have to drive home (so about 1 hour on standby).. then I can do some more testing..

See you later Diary..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] michsu:
Dear Diary.. last update before going home.. 34% now.. it's getting pretty good.. now you have about 6 hours SOT...with an extended battery pack that's a little bit bigger that fits in the same case (I like zerolemon, but it may be too big for you in the back), you can get well over 10 hours of SOT for me.. that would be so awesome.. I'll post a final update when you finally quit tonight..

see you at home.. laters
[Galaxy Note 4 General] michsu:
Final update down to 0%... just charged to 24%..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] clintonroche:
Awe no dear diary.... Lol ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] clintonroche:
Dear diary.... Good battery life for a work day.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] naira1:
Hi all, I have a suggestion that might come handy.

Since there are different variant of the note 4 and this thread is getting too long, would it not be nice for the OP to just add a survey to the first post?

Survey/stats that shows the different variant with the average battery usage so everybody can just take part thereby giving US a solid idea how many people are getting for example more than 6hrs Screen on time or less and with which variant....
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tinker_tf:
Interesting...however I was at home all day that day so my phone should have stayed on wifi for most of it.

I am seriously hating the battery life on this phone at the moment, I've already exchanged it once because of other issues. Sigh maybe it's something i'm doing or enabled?

How can I lose 5% of battery just surfing twitter, facebook and flipboard?

i wish display would be 1080p.lots of pixel=more battery drain but i can still last the day without charger tough.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jobin219:
This question is more about the adaptive fast charging, but say one has a North American Note 4 and took it abroad. Will the phone still charge fast if a travel adapter is attached to the supplied oem charger? I want to buy a Canadian note 4 and use it in India.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] pedmond:
Yes, it should.

Hey guys, can somebody plz tell me if this battery usage is good coz I kinda feel that whenever the screen is on the battery drains like hell.

Looks not good specialy if you have exynos , on my european 910 F with snap 805 i got 6 - 7 hour screen on .

Do not use ram bosster or laucher it drains battery ( in my case )
[Galaxy Note 4 General] crazydeepman:
Which one is better , normally or fast charging for the battery and phone . Is the fast charging has a long term side effect ?

Any thoughts on this? Slept at 70% batt woke up 42% left. Wfi on the whole time. Network at 2G. No auto sync on. No push notifications on. Viber and whatsspp installed. Lots of instances where screen was off but device was awake.

I am happy with my Snapdragon N4. Battery drain on 4g is much better than on LG G3. Stand-by also is better. Call time was 1 hour and 12 minutes. I recommend Netherlands firmware PHN.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] joelteixeira:
Not to excited with my 910c. I was expecting at least 4h SoT based on samples we can find on this thread but I can barely reach 3h SoT. There's some posts like disable this, disable that but I didn't use to disable nothing on my Moto G (2013) and get usually ~2:30. I know this phone is a lot more powerful than Moto g, I'm not comparing this but for the price I really expected more. Still happy with it but part of me feel regretted for not taking the Moto maxx instead. Just my two cents.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] POLO_i780:
This phone hates 2G, I found that out yesterday, it drained fast when I left it on 2G Only with WiFi, then I switched it back to 2G/3G (GSM/WCDMA) with WiFi and it went back to being super frugal, got home at 5pm with around 65% batt left, had I left it in GSM/WCDMA with WiFi all day I'd prob have had around 80% batt left when getting home.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] TyroneS:
not sure bout ur note4, for the 1st day i use to install everything and let it run without disable or setting could last 3 hours and half...

all i do was full charge>sign-in gmail>install all the apps with wifi>auto brightness>every setting straight out from box>download stuff i need from google drive>normal surfing>facebook,instagram,testing s health,wechat,whatsapp,read some news non-stop,even tried the gps Papago with high accuracy.

Doing all and yes it make the phone heat but not like my old razr maxx can feel it's burning my finger.:good:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] GalaxySpirit:
To be honest i am not that excited with my Galaxy Note 4's battery life,mainly because i use it heavily(wi-fi,max brightness,games) but the fast charging feature makes up for it.

For the stats shown below I always had wi-fi on, max brightness and i also had a live wallpaper which consumes a lot of battery.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ardeban:
You should be excited to get 5 hours SOT with max brightness and everything at full, with other phones you would barely make 2 or 3 hours ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Ausboy 2011:
Exactly heavy usage is where this phone really excells
[Galaxy Note 4 General] joelteixeira:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] bala_gamer:
Pretty happy with the battery life.

Some suggestions for people with poor battery life.

1. Root

2. Greenify Facebook and messenger

3. Disable samsung push service, Samsung link platform.

4. Auto brightness for screen wherever possible

5. Reduce or disable auto sync in 3rd party apps

I guess there's much of the knowledge collected already.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] naira1:
Am on 910C and the below is my battery stat. Very impressed with it. Am not rooted but disabled all I don't need and that was not much anyway bcos the phone came with a third of the bloatwares my S4 came with. The only thing to note is that my display was set pretty low around 25-30% brightness. I never ever go any higher (I used it 95% indoors).

Pretty impressed with the battery life so far. If it maintains this quality after 12 months I'll be much happier[emoji1]

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Idan73:
Usually get 6+ screen on time with no power saving tricks. Well, I do turn off wifi when I leave home, and always on at home. Auto brightness at +1, sometimes +2.

Google sync on. To be honest my testimony is based on fact that I have 35 percent left at 4+ hours sot. Never really tested in detail, and battery last till I finish work and plug in driving home. That keeps the charge till rest of the evening for overnight charge.

Basically, what I had with lgg2. Very happy bout that.
