I have poor battery life on lollipop, stock, 50% auto brightness, and this is the best i can get, i have very bad stand by time, my phone is awaking even if i dont touch anything. I would not like to root and lose warianty.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] samitro:
Unfortunately I don't, I just had a lot of wakeup time while my screen was off so standby time was awful. I couldn't believe it as well but tried twice and proved it was the card.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] iridaki:
I wouldn't call what the stats you posted illustrate "poor battery life". 4 hours SOT is decent, that's what I consistently got on KitKat. How much did you use to get on KK?

I see. I may try that.

Although by setting WiFi to turn off when the screen is off, I'm seeing great improvement too, I'm getting 5 hours of SOT and much less 'awakenings' when I don't use the phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bekasulaberidze:
wow ! just wow ! I get only 2 hours SOT please tell me what apps are freezed and exactly what are you doing to improve battery life. thank you !
[Galaxy Note 4 General] golfinggino:
You shouldnt have to freeze any apps to get 6 hours of sot that is easy with the note 4 there is clearly something wrong with your phone
[Galaxy Note 4 General] POLO_i780:
For those having Batt life issues on Lollipop, I suggest Disabling Facebook and using Facebook Lite. The FB App seems to use more resources in 5.0.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bekasulaberidze:
I have already changed my first Note4 it was made in china now I have vietnam model, first phone had the same problem, now this, only 2 hours SOT, brightness at 10% and using only mobile data max 1 hours
[Galaxy Note 4 General] POLO_i780:
What? Brightness at 10% and 2hours SOT? Are you gaming? What apps do you have installed as it sounds like it is not the phone at fault but rather a bad app.

My brightness is at 35% and I get 7hours SOT and 8-9hours with Power Save (CPU Restriction Only) on Lollipop on average.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
Im still getting same battery performance on 5.0 with 910c. 6-7 hours sot without any power saving. It was same on kitkat too.

But battery stats wierd on kitkat screen was like 50% with 6 hours sot.

On lollipop screen is 3rd or something with 5% usage. Twitter can pass 6 hours sot.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Xhell:
To be honest, having my phone screen on time 3 hours or 6 hours won't change or improve the way I use my phone. I still need powerbank anywhere I go. I just want lollipop.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] bekasulaberidze:
not gaming, just normal use. e.g 9gag for 10 minutes or chrome 10 max 15 minutes everything is off gps nfc wifi... and I think it charges fast (fast charg off) from 15 to 100% needs one hours
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sefrcoko:
I read something about SD cards too once. If I remember correctly it had to do with certain SD cards causing the indexing service to run continously which caused excessive battery drain for some users. Think it was with some SanDisk cards but can't really remember.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bekasulaberidze:
I have samsung 16 gb I don't think that it causes drain :/
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sefrcoko:
Right, that may not be the cause of your drain but I was just replying to iridaki's post. You should post screen shots of your battery stats/usage history/SOT, and also use an app like Wakelock detector or GSAM from the Play Store to identify wakelocks. Then greenify or freeze those rogue apps (or just uninstall and replace them with alternative apps that don't create wakelocks).
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bekasulaberidze:
Ok I'll charge it tonight and upload stats tomorrow
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Huntyz:
I did a clean install and ran the debloater zip before 1st boot and the phone has been perfect.

A lot better than kitkat for me.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] golfinggino:
I haven't used my note 4 much today as I was setting up a new rom on my note 3, just put my Sim in my note 3 but did have 2 hours sot on the note 4 with 80% battery remaining - stock not rooted and still running kit Kat
[Galaxy Note 4 General] kamranhaghighi:
i can't post screenshots atm but i get 6-7~ depending on usage battery life (on screen time, total is more than that!) if i play games its around 4h~ but non gaming, i mean video web etc with brightness on around 5 - 10% and HSPA on, but i think my battery life is less than first time :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hohoXD1233:
14% left, 10h 5m on battery, 1h 15m SOT, android system taking up 30%, android OS 10%, google play services 8% and screen 4%. Really shouldn't have upgraded to lollipop :(

LP battery life is awesome. Never experienced such a good results with KK.

50% left and nearly 4,5 hrs SOT......

Rooted Echo ROM.

Debloated loads of stuff, Greenified few apps.

Are you doing a lot of Web browsing, are you connected to Wi-Fi of a data network? What's your screen brightness settings?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ANDYs3:
Does anyone here use the Anker batteries ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] kamuda82:
Hi

Im using Anker. Its great and last the same as original. Last time 1d 5h. 6h on screen.

Battery is fantastic.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ANDYs3:
Thanks for your reply. I have been using the anker batteries ( extended ) for my S3 and for my Note 2 and was satisfied, just wanted to know if they kept up the good work.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] cornelito:
Mainly connected to WIFI, screen at 20%.

A lot of internet browsing, Tapatalk, a little bit of YouTube.

N910F.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Kyrillos:
Guys can you please clarify one thing for me. If i put the wifi to turn off during sleep, does it mean that the system will be using mobile internet to get the emails for example, which at the end will be probably more battery demanding.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] bonerp:
todays battery plummeted to 34% in less than 2 hours - cause...Facebook. How random. Previously it appears to have been wifi. Switching off wifi has helped preserve the battery, until this! Why after over 2 weeks should this occur and kill the battery so quickly? Is FB not lollipop compliant?

I've force stopped it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] patriotaki:
Are there any obvious results when using greenify to the battery life?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] patriotaki:
This is what i got today with high usage.

Alot of 4G,Wifi on all the time , played a bit Blitz Brigade,messing around with camera,watvhed few videos, surfing the net,Instagram,Facebook,Snapchat,Messenger
[Galaxy Note 4 General] cornelito:
Echoe ROM 5.0.1.

That is sick SOT! Have you greenified or frozen any app?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Michael_EF:
Before installing lollipop, did you restore your phone before installing the update? Or did you just install the update right off the bat. I feel like this makes a difference

I lost 25% during the night while i was sleeping .. I closed all apps and i had the wifi connected to my network

But when i woke up it was not connected.

Isnt this a big battery drain?

How much do you lose when you are sleeping?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MEGAX91:
only 1%
[Galaxy Note 4 General] patriotaki:
Im running stock 4.4.4 KK without root

Which serivices or apps should i disable to save battery life?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MEGAX91:
Use gsam battery Pro to find out which app/services is draining battery.

List Of Bloatware safe to disable :
[Galaxy Note 4 General] patriotaki:
Cool thanks!

Whats the best way to charge the battery?

Let it fall to 5% and charge to 100% ?

Or have the battery between 30%-100% (always) ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] MEGAX91:
keep battery charge between 40 -80
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rj3005:
12 hours on battery, 1h15m SOT and 60% left... Stock lollipop
[Galaxy Note 4 General] mariosraptor:
To all those having battery problems in LP I found that disabling FB, messenger and pages manager did the super difference. I was having really terrible battery life compared to KK. Now it back to where it was and even better.

I don't know what's wrong with FB but it is the main culprit in bad battery life. And it has gotten batter even though I have a terrible network coverage.

For those that want to try they can disable FB and use browser instead.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] kolembo:
Anyone tried the 4600mA batteries out there?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jasenko:
Still on KitKat so can't see who the main wakelock culprits are. My Android OS usage was through the roof. Even though I was still managing 4h of screen time, I knew it can do a lot better. Yesterday I researched a bit and decided to disable Samsung Link Platform and Samsung Link Platform Connectivity. Wakelocks are now down to manageable level and I am predicting a minimum of 5h screen time at least. I am currently on 81%, almost 10h standby and 1h screen time so far.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] patriotaki:
I charged it from 35% to 100% last time and also disabled Facebook app. I think there is an imorovement.

Did some light gaming,alot of texting on viber,surfing,instagram,snapchat and xda ofcourse

Ill charge it again from 30% -> 100%
[Galaxy Note 4 General] radar1976:
Not sure why everyone is getting such bad battery life.

See mine. This was on 4.4.4 with the Feb 2015 update.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hopelives:
This is what I got by KK. I upgraded to LP and if FB, FBM, Hangouts and YT don't create drain, I can get same results but these apps are not stable about battery usage.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] patriotaki:
N910c?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] patriotaki:

My brother have n iPhone 6+ and he had 10 hours SOT with LTE. Does you guys get the same or what ?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] malek777:
The iPhone 6 plus has a much better battery than the note 4 but it's a lower resolution screen.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] patriotaki:
Hell no.. Iphone 6+ has the best battery life

U can compare it to note 4 because the cpu runs on lower clocks and the resolution is lower also. Plus that iOS manages the battery better than Android
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Deni_N:
I would never take 6+ over Note 4...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] patriotaki:
True that..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] iridaki:
I don't know why "everyone gets such bad battery life", but I have a strong suspicion regarding why you're getting such good one: you barely turn the screen on, according to the graph you posted.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] radar1976:
And thats a problem how? I still use my device alot,

bluetooth music streaming, maps, location tagging, push email, facebook notifcations, and phone calls / txting.

remote desktop connections, ssh connections, AND IR tv control at my work. (we have alot of TVs to manage)

The final usage was @ 6% charge , total running time of 2 days, 18hrs and 32mins

I think that is pretty damm good for my daily usage.

My Note 2 would die with the above usage within 18 hrs.

To each's own.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
Nope your brother just checked used time. Its not sot time ios doesnt calculate screen time.. Im using note 4 and 6+ for months note 4 is definetly better in battery for me(not big difference). I think both have similar 6-7 sot average.

10 hour sot just no way . Even my ipad air cant reach it.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lordoftheriffs:
It is sot+ awake time on ios
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tmac31:
It calculates pretty much everything. Anything use cpu just trigger it. My phone can get 2 hours usage time in night without touching.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] iridaki:
It's not a problem and I'm glad you enjoy your phone and get optimal battery life from it.

You posted a screenshot showing that you turned your screen on 16 times for very brief period each time, so you were barely using the phone. Any phone can go on for a while if it is not used, the real challenge is to get good battery life while the power hungry screen is lit up.

Again, there's nothing wrong with how you use the phone, I was merely explaining to you why you're getting such a great battery life.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Cosmos81:
A bit off-topic, recently I did have a, Xperia Z2 brought it back due the, know problems of the, spontaneous breaking glass, tomorrow I will receive a Note 4 (N910C) so I am going to wonder also how his, battery-life is going to be, therefore I am also following this thread.

Probably the, battery-life of the, Note 4 is never going to be near the, extreme good battery-life (measured with, GSam battery monitor) which I have been experienced with the, Z2 I managed to get, 9 hours of screen-time in 36 hours and still there was 26% of battery left !

This was, when I installing the device, using the settings, instillation apps and so on, no sim-card applied and only in use with a good WiFi-connection, but what I really like was the, Stamina-mode unfortunately Samsung does not have something like that ?

Maybe therefore this app ( Inactivity Sense 2.12) can be of use the get a (even) more better battery-life on the, Note 4.

I will keep you posted the following days ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] terpin32:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] megagodx:
Can you give us some stats on the usage of these numbers? Brightness level, what kind of network most of the time, whether you were browsing the web/gaming/streaming most of the time or if you're using an extended battery for these results etc.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] terpin32:

How? What model
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Vichenec:
Guys, how much custom ROM helped you with the battery. Which ROM?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] WaelElZahr:
How much SOT do you get with your 910F?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tarantulapg:
In my case,

i have N910C version of note 4 and Im using Masik ROM 2.2.

The battery life did not significant change but the speed of phone, response and TouchWiz is lot of better.

You need to try not just a one ROM if you really want to find one which is best for you.

i can get 5 to 6 hrs SOT while usin WiFi, LTE...and greenify ofcourse

it depens on way how u use the phone...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jshq97:
Hi, I dunno if this has been answered, but you can actually do the black and white power save thing you said. If you hold down on the power saving toggle in quick settings you can change what it does, you can turn on black and white/greyscale while leaving processor and background sync as normal. (I'm not talking about ultra power saving, these settings are in the normal power saving mode). Hope this helps :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Kernel ranger:
After reading most comments here am quite confused on what I should settle on because I have access to both the Exynos and Snapdragon variants. I donno what to pick now but I must pick something....
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Cosmos81:
I had the same "confusion" as you, which one to chose the, Exynos or the snapdragon variant, but after this comment (see below) in the thread/poll (To Snapdragon 805 or to Exynos 5433 (updated)) by [MENTION=325306]DarkAngel[/MENTION]6sic6 , I have chosen for the N910C which is the Exynos variant.

The Exynos has general advantage. It just depends which market you are in really and what you are looking for. Exynos has a decently better CPU and generally better real world graphics. Better audio. There is also a small chance a future update or dev unlock will give it 64Bit function.

Snapdragon seems to have less restrictions on the cameras for better results out of third party camera apps. Though this could change. And it seems that the radio chip is a little more efficient in battery performance in Snapdragon.

Also some markets/carriers only have Snapdragon version and as of now I believe GearVR only supports Snapdragon....Which is odd and can change in the future.

Snapdragon has more ROMS. But most will agree that Exynos better performing and having Samsung exclusive features with root, kernel, and xposed is much better than CM.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] patriotaki:

[Galaxy Note 4 General] bondro:
Greenify works only with Xposed or?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tarantulapg:
No. New version of Greenify alovs you to use app without Xposed framework. But some function is not available. The most wanted function of Greenify is allowed ☺
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Kernel ranger:
Research shows that there may likely be no development on 64bit ability on the exynos because it is disabled Read here

This thread has lead me to realize that the Snapdragon variant has better signal compatibility round the world leading to a remarkable battery life compared to the Exynos, Marcques Brownlee has a review indicating that it indeed is better than the Exynos in that respect. Joshua Vergara shows the same thing with the Snap variant and how much time he got on heavy usage. So am leaning strongly on the Snapdragon variant. Your wrong about the graphics, the Snapdragon edges out the Exynos in that. Even if the Exynos does edge out the Snapdragon, the processing capability of the two is very very close. Unless you have more than that, I'm still not convinced why I should go with Exynos...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Cosmos81:
I am pleased with you,re research and information ! My research was manly focused on the, Exynos version and must say, I was still doubting of that version would be the best version for my kind of usage. I am not a tech-wiz my personal usage is taking picture,s and edit for my, Instagram account, Facebook, web-browsing some and other stuff, no gaming so I think the, Snapdragon with the, Adreno 420 is a better choice for me, in every graphics benchmark I came across it outperforms the, Mali T-760.

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sams...marks-Snapdragon-805-vs-Exynos-7-Octa_id63111

Final, you're comment on the battery-life makes also, sense I also seen quit a lot of disappointing results here in this thread according to, worse battery-life of the, Exynos over the Snapdragon, I am glad that I still can chance my order :)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Kernel ranger:
Am glad I read this thread otherwise I would have been locked onto the Exynos version. I also realized the benchmarks that the Snap gets beaten are predominantly web based apps (browser stuff mostly) other than that the Snap is right with it or better. I still lean on the Snap because when I had the Exynos s4, it would thrive on S off time but suck at SOT. I have $160 more to go to get it carrier free unlocked note 4 and I can't wait to play with it :D
[Galaxy Note 4 General] deep!:
Guys wondering if you can help me, i recently upgraded phone and changes the csc to dbt and installed lollipop, since then my phone app is draining battery, if i see with gsam involved process, it shows CSC, dialer storage, sim toolkit , phone etc.

I installed the lollipop on my previous note 4 as well but didn't change the CSC from BTU to DBT and all was fine, this time i did and since problem started.

Any idea why it is doing it?

Solved: Sharing so if anyone comes into same issue, i did some research but couldn't find any answer so start digging myself, i knew it was network related so tried to boot into safe mode and disable APN, wake up gone.

Then in boot in normal, deleted apn and created new APN, glad to tell problem is gone.Hope helps someone.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Toss3:
Yes. Depends on entirely on your usage and apps installed. If the normal battery isn't enough just buy a spare one with its own charger (having two batteries is awesome especially if you own a gear vr). If you think something is wrong, just download the correct rom from sammobile and perform a complete reinstall (make sure to back things up first). I normally get around 5-7 hours of SoT with my 910c on lollipop, but I usually switch batteries before that.

Hi, has anyone experienced a serious battery drain involving "System (dboxed_process0)"
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tempsgk:
To back up your findings, I read all 200+ pages of the xda thread about exynos vs snapdragon. What I found was that it is general consensus that the exynos is better than the snapdragon in performance and is shown in real life test as well as benchmarks.

That said, quite a lot of people who have both versions reported the snapdragon having better battery life. One person said that their snapdragon get 6-7 hours screen on time while their exynos version gets about 5 hours. That's not all, I also read the technical article on aanandtech about the note 4 snapdragon and exynos processor. It is proven even though the 20mm fab exynos is thought to be more energy efficient is actually wrong, the snapdragon is actually more energy efficient. But AndreiLux commented that it might be software fixable and that its samsungs fault. Also in the xda thread there was a small discussion going on that the Modem on the snapdragon one is more better than the Ericsson modem on the Exynos.

So there's that. There are also some GPS problems but not sure on that part.

In Comparison to wrap it up, Reasons for getting the snapdragon is battery life where as the reason for getting the exynos is sheer performance but probably not much differ from snapdragon.

But the battery Life hit is pretty big, in the Anandtech article the snapdragon saves 10-12% more battery than the exynos.

So overall I would say the snapdragon is a better deal, people want more battery life!
