Today, with moderate to heavy usage. Brightness kept at halfway. I'm surprised how well this thing tanks.

Sent from my Note 4
[Galaxy Note 4 General] quadlt:
Holy damn... How are you guys all getting 5-6 hrs of SoT when I barely reach 3 hrs with light usage. SMH
[Galaxy Note 4 General] 3dward87:
disable all unnecessary bloatware...

I get with my exynos about ~5 hours SoT in 2 days.. is ok with me.

Maybe a thread with Tips ^ Tricks for better battery will be good.. also what app can be disabled and which cannot, important for something.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] quadlt:
Tell me something new already... I have all my bloatware frozen, I'm greenified, amplified and whatever else I could think of.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nh97103:
What's your screen brightness set to?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] quadlt:
Manual, I barely ever use it over 50%, usually keeping it from lowest to ~30%.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nh97103:
Then something is wrong. My guess is one of your apps is keeping your phone awake when the screen is off when it should be asleep.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zurkx:
everyone should at least get 24 hours with normal usage if you set things correctly.

Stock battery, i never used any other battery.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shinasurada:
Anyone have gsam installed and connected to WiFi most of the time can tell me if their WiFi is using as much power as their screen? Mine is. I have an n910c.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] kolembo:
910H - exynos

Just got the phone and it's pretty impressive.

Except for the battery which is VERY ordinary.

I'm a heavy internet use but no movies/music/gaming - I just barely make it home on one charge, have to charge immediately to go on into the evening.

Are there any none-root apps that people are using that help? I'd love to know.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] 3dward87:
Mine to..

But Android System for me consumes more, dont know why.. still I get at least 5 hours of SoT and 2 days
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Legatus Onoris:
What the ****....how can you have 5-6 hours battery life? I had yesterday 4 and half and I had 10%.....and this morning, just wake up, 45 minutes of use in minimum manual brightness, 43 min screen on and battery went down from 100 to 92!

I don't have standby draining but Android OS is a killer.yesterday 35% (screen only 32%!)
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Racinghart91:
That really is not bad almost an hour of sot with less then 10% battery drain. I get one hour of sot and it consumes 20% with full brightness
[Galaxy Note 4 General] michsu:
Over here currently on auto I'm getting drop of 2% so far for 10 minutes..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] un.droid:
I have the F version, non rooted, and it seems like my phone drains battery like crazy. Over night, NO wifi, NO 4G, I lost 15%. Does anyone have an idea what could cause that? Really frustrating.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shootermc77:
my best stats ever at the moment, heavy use of youtube(bluetooth on for speakers) and browser and a little bit gaming.

n910f, rooted, greenify some apps and system apps.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] michsu:
100 to 95 I can get about 50 minutes SOT and 3 hours standby.. is your device full of wakelocks?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] michsu:
Haven't met my goal yet of 1hr 30 min on 10% battery.. almost there .. almost 5 hours usage too..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] zurkx:
hmm looks like its possible but just barely.

wifi on gps on high acc bluetooth on nfc on black background 15s auto -5 display with smart look dev options animation transition etc off. umts mode 910u. knox container with encrypted sd/memory.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lordoftheriffs:
Do you simply leave your phone with screen on? That way I can do that too
[Galaxy Note 4 General] michsu:
Yeah I do a crunchyroll (anime) video test and just let it.. how else to do the test? I'm simulating pixels turning off and on and streaming...let me know.. I want to run a fair test..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lordoftheriffs:
Using the phone and web surfing is actually more representative of real usage. I can watch 2hr movie and the battery goes down only by 15 percent.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] michsu:
From what battery monitor pro says that is one of the worst to do.. of course behind playing games continuously. . I posted my times in this post already.. 9 hours OST and 1 day 7 hours I think.. I'm just trying to help others by trying to max out the battery without losing any features..

---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

OK I'll charge it to 100 again at work and just surf for a while and measure that.. how does your surfing compare to the streaming of videos? I just want to know.. Haha the more knowledge the better..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lordoftheriffs:
While surfing I get 1 percent drop every 4 minutes ost. 6 7 minutes of youtube uses 1 percent battery
[Galaxy Note 4 General] 3dward87:
Played today KOTOR and Asphalt 8 (openGL4), I got 3 hours of SoT only.

N910C
[Galaxy Note 4 General] quadlt:
That is true, BBS shows 3:34 hrs Awake and 2:14 hrs Screen on time after 60% of battery used, so theres around 1:20 hrs of my phone doing something in the background. Partial wakelocks have nothing but just few small ordinary wakelocks and Kernel wakelocks screen is blank for me. How to find the origin?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nh97103:
Games are the usual culprit. Here's what I do: Turn the screen off for a minute or so and then go to the battery stats and see if your phone was kept awake. If it was, open recent apps and slide a single app closed. Then check if that stopped it. Repeat until your phone stops being kept awake. Obviously, the last app you close is the one causing the problems.

Once you know, make sure to close that app whenever you leave it and won't be returning to it for a while. I do this with Need For Speed Most Wanted for this very reason.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] cricketgirl90:
Used fast charging last night. Unplugged the phone at night. Used on and off at work and after work.. still 40% remain. M really happy with this battery life.

S health enabled. Mostly on WiFi and an hour or so on H+.

I am not sure if this the right place but I noticed the phone performance becomes so fast during charging. Anyone else experienced the same thing?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] NewGamesAlb:
i Dont like the battery of this phone, my friend has it and it gets drained pretty quickly :/
[Galaxy Note 4 General] daffie:
Hahahaha...you have absolutey no idea what you're talking about! This phone, especially considering the large QHD screen, lasts phenomenally long...a minimum of 2 days with normal use. I can easily get 3 days on normal use. And if I wouldn't use my phone at all then the battery drains just 1% every 2-3 hours! (therefore it can last a maximum of 10 days on a single charge)

You are clueless :laugh:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] 3dward87:
Easiest way to check your phone if have wakecloks, after you recharge let him couple of hours in standby.

For example I recharge before sleep until 100%, green light. Then unplug and put to sleep.

Next day 1% was down (no wi-fi or 3G data, !no airplane) and the first thing with bigger comsuption was "Device idle" in 8 h 04min 30s.

Turn off the "smart network" option in settings, connections, more network.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shinasurada:
I turned it off a long time ago. I noticed that even when the WiFi is connected it shows scanning every few seconds...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sastheayubian:
This kind of status is definitely possible if you have played an hour two of playing videos. Did you watch a movie on it?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jblaze53:
Yep about 2hrs watching a movie with the brightness around 15%,lots of browsing on 3g and a few youtube videos . My average sot normally is around 6.5hrs tho.

Hello all of you,

Does anyone have a clue about why I have from 7h since the phone was fully charged, around 6h in Android OS :(

I've installed also GSAM ...but still doesn't tell me something useful. You guys what is the status of the Android OS wakelock.....

Most of the time the phone is staying in Wi-Fi, all the options from Wi-Fi are stopped

Most of the time the phone is sitting on a desk

For example last night I've plugged out the phone 100% and in 7h (most of the time I was sleeping) 6h where AWAKE from Android OS

Early this morning, I've restarted the phone. Don't know what to do more...

Some Samsung APPS were also disable, FACEBOOK is configured to bring updates NEVER, TWITTER from 2h in 2h ...

Thanks!

[Galaxy Note 4 General] JippleStar:
Just thought I would post a couple more battery screenshots since my phone apparently wanted to record it for over 9 days straight? :shrugs:

I appear to average at just below 5 hours of SoT with moderate to heavy usage, but perhaps that was because of the constant WiFi :) With a spare battery or two I could probably use this phone all day without sitting next to an outlet :good:

Just some stuff in-case people are wondering about settings:

Bluetooth: Off

GPS: Off

Power-saving: Off

Brightness: Auto

S-Voice: Always Listening

Fast Charging: On ( Don't know if it's actually working )

Unfortunately, that might not be the case. Been playing around with my background apps in the past week and after charging today and just leaving the phone to sit there, 10% drained with just 20 mins of screen on time while the phone stayed awake for !! 1:11 HRS !!. No apps in multitasking window, nothing in settings. Everything is off except stable Wifi (which automatically sleeps). I am lost here. Once again partial wakelocks have no useful information. :confused::confused:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jblaze53:
Epic!

Does it get any better than this?? This involves 2.5hrs watching a movie, several hours browsing on 3g, lots of social media, youtube for about half an hour,brightness at 15%. Note 4 exynos n910h.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] POLO_i780:

Guys how to get more than 5 hours....?

I have 910c and Max 5 hours I got
[Galaxy Note 4 General] stevemiddie:
I can also get 8 + hours but that's with the screen greyed out through the power save option.

Not sure how you get that?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shinasurada:
Refer to this thread. I believe this is one of the reasons.

http://xdaforums.com/note-4/general/explanation-horrible-note-4-battery-t3004274

I have had confirmationon from another n910c owner that the WiFi can take up to 53% of the phones battery consumed. Based on my observation the radio can go up to 25% before dying if WiFi is turned off.

Please install the gsam battery app and provide feedback on the thread.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rpalmer92:
Dude, you can't post that and not tell us how you achieved it...

Are you stock or custom ROM/Kernel?

Greenified or frozen apps and/or services?

Have you fiddled with underclocking and undervolting and changed governors or any of that?

Do you use snyc?

What location services? Power saving or GPS only?

Screen brightness on Auto or turned all the way down?

I've had a bit of a play with the phone and I can get about 1.5-2 days battery with 4-5 hours SOT. I consider myself to be very experienced with Android devices, yet I can't seem to get the battery life that some of you guys are getting out of this device.

This beast is just amazing!!

I've been browsing through Tapatalk for the last 10 minutes and still on 100%!!

No Greenify, dark Tapatalk, brightness -4, wifi and sync on, Bluetooth and location off, disabled some bloatware and currently connected to the charger.

I'll try and disconnect it and update here how it goes [emoji106]
[Galaxy Note 4 General] erapmicks:
Yep this is beastly
[Galaxy Note 4 General] rpalmer92:
What ROM/kernel? Did you greenify or freeze any apps or anything? Brightness? Sync?

Give us some tips on how you achieved this battery life. This is what this thread is for...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gabi11:
I wasn't referring to you mate.

Just a general joke about posting battery life [emoji6]

I btw, get around 5.5-6 hours of sot with my n910c.

It is enough for me actually.

Charging once a day, usually in the morning, and I'm satisfied.

I just hope it'll stay that way for the long term....
[Galaxy Note 4 General] POLO_i780:
Hi there.

I am not rooted, I do use Greenify for apps like Facebook, Twitter, Flipboard etc...

I use Sync, got both Personal email and work email going, along with both calendars.

Using Power Saving for Location

Screen brightness at 35%, only use Auto when outdoor.

Take note I watched a whole lot of video, like I said in the beginning of the post, the Note 4 takes tiny sips of power when watching video, extremely efficient.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gabi11:
Not Rooted and greenified Facebook?

Didn't Facebook come pre-installed on your phone?

If yes- how did you Greenify a system app?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] POLO_i780:
Apologies, I'm talking rubbish, FB and Flipboard are not Greenyfied, its Twitter, FNB (my banking app), all my games, Google Analytics, Adwords Xpress etc...basically most of my 3rd party apps except WhatsApp, Messenger and TouchPal keyboard.

I have also Restricted background data for some apps when using Mobile Data, you can do that in the Data Usage app in Settings.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] jinosong:
I too had massive battery problems. I couldn't use my phone for more than 8 hours.

Then I downloaded this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rrr.android.mediaserverkiller

Set it to kill the server every 1 or two hours.

Now my battery lasts three days!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lordoftheriffs:
Totally stock n910c, froze a few apps nothing more. All the usual stuff wifi on most of the time and a bit 3g data.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] gabi11:
Oh ok [emoji1]

Is it really recommended to Greenify all apps?

On my previous device for example, I greenified all apps that have gcm (those I'm not interested in notifications of course..) and those that runs in background for no apparent reason...

And I also wonder if it's recommended to Greenify an app that does run in background, but I do use her a lot.

For example - Amazon appstore.

This app wakes up whenever using an app that was downloaded through her.

I have several apps from Amazon including my calendar - calengoo.

So I tend to "wake" her up quite often.

I always used to Greenify Amazon appstore but I wonder if it is a smart move...

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Spo0f:
Are you sure that this is it? This is pretty unusual. I do can get 4d, but with not more than 3h30m display.

In any case - this is way more impressive than gozilian SoT for 24h ...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Misk77:
I'm sorry to be negative but most och the screens in here doesn't say so much or give right information. Like 4 days, idle time, wake-up time, usage, WiFi, gps /location, normal usage... What's up are running and used. If not rooted it can be problem to screen all this information but you will at least get idle, wake, screen time in the print and what app /program who has been used.

I get normal about 22 h, 5 h screen 7 awake, when I'm listen to spotify 1 h and and browsing about 1 h and look at YouTube 1 h. Got 2 email sync, kik, about 20-30 message sms/kik /messenger /facebook , and original settings, Facebook original settings. Xda app login, Auto brightness, about 300 app and all the game sync. Here's some old screen couple of days, 19 January(new Seattle kernel) ROM : echo rom, ael kernel) default settings. Nothing greenyfied or shut down.

I can get easily 3 days idle and turn the screen on one get 4 h screen on.. But I like to use my phone like it's supposed to be use for my usage.. Imo. Who are really honest and not som day idle ghost hunters?...... Hmm, sry but without right information and screen like bbs, gsam, or app like that I'm having a hard time to take all this several days screen in normal usage /usage of any kind. But hey good for you what are honest and can use your phone like you wanna to and get this honest great uptime running.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] 3dward87:
I get 4-5 hours in 2 days, how can you managed that in 4 days ??

You watch videos ??
[Galaxy Note 4 General] lordoftheriffs:
I think cell reception and the fact that I didn't play games or heavy applications much played their role. Also the first thing I did when booting for the first time was to freeze fb, instagram and other apps which are known to be battery drainers. I might never get this battery performance again I must say it it good.

I watched about 1 hr or videos

What can i do about this? I get max 4 hours of screen on..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Misk77:
Here's some screen on a no heavy /normal usage in my case.

Just wanna show how different usage and screen (look at my past screen /usage. I can easily get 3 - 4 days with less usage. But second day I could let my phone be. Sync, WiFi, gps on. Facebook /2 email sync original setting. Mostly Facebook /email /browsing usage during the whole time. Of course I could let the phone sleep in 3 days(maybe 4 days) then use it and still get 4 h on screen on time.

But the real and important information and what imo the goal are to be able to use the phone like you wanna (your personal usage) and it will last at least 24 hours. What my goal and what I expected from note 4. And no problems at all to achieve it.

ROM :echo. kernel : ael default settings.

One general question..

How does the battery life compare to n910c and n910f

Based on midrange use?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] cricketgirl90:
After a month of use. My note 4 lasts on average 14 hrs with 3.5 to 4 hrs of screen on time. With WiFi and H+. I could use a Lil more juice but I am home by then and it's no problem for me to charge the phone for few mins to last me rest of the night and charge it again overnight when I go to bed.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Catania17:
My battery life since getting this phone for Christmas is ridiculous, it's just so bad, i can just about get a full days use of regular usage.

I've tried those battery saving apps, tweaking the settings. Tried fast charge on and off but nothing works.. i have a feeling the battery i have is no good.

On that note, my fast charger just stopped working the other day so i've contacted samsung to see what can be done, this is just pathetic now.

So it looks like finally I'm getting good battery life.

My daily usages

My SM-N910H (Exynos) battery lasts for around 2 days before laying on my Qi pad.

Settings:

WiFi ON

Bluetooth ON

Data OFF

GSM Radio ( Yes, I always use WiFi )

NFC ON

GPS & Location ON (High accuracy)

Brightness: Velis Auto Brightness.

I use it because it is much more responsive & has much more detail settings.

I use a bit brighter setting than the stock settings.

More than 15 Syncs.

Normal usage (a bit of gaming+daily activities+a bit of music) with Screen On around 1-3 hours the battery lasts around 31 - 42 hours.

With extreme usage for gaming (and a bit of movie+music), it only lasts 16-20 hours (Sometimes I play games on my Note 4 using TV)
