This was yesterday before I went to sleep. Was set to auto brightness and no power saving and also no root.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] HtcOnekid:
Everyone having battery issues are you rooted?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] EasyE75:
I am having a lot of issues with the rapid drainage of my battery. I am rooted but I don't think root has anything to do with it.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] MacMitten:
Wow. The battery life has been pretty good. On the 2nd charge cycle. I'm impressed. My usage has been moderate, but I've been on a road trip and the switching between towers and bands usually drains the battery. Cannot complain.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] keitht:
That is damn good. I could't get that on my Nexus 5 in standby the entire time!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Coolboys32:
I was wondering when do you guys do your first charge cycle.

When first unboxing the phone, do you charge to 100% before using it?

Or when first unboxing, you use it until the battery drains low and then do a full charge?

Does it matter which one you choose to go with and what was the battery % when you first powered on the phone?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] tauzins:
im trying to figure out why my note isnt getting the same battery life as you guys, my android system is always the top of the list and im barely getting 3 hr SOT, im lost here...
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] boodies:
Something is definitely wrong there. an app must be sucking up your juice. Last night, I had 6.5 Hours SOT and still had 10% left. PS - I can't get over how fast this thing charges!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] MacMitten:
Unboxed. Probably at around 60%, and play with phone for a couple hours and charged overnight. I have heard with lithium that draining them until dead is unnecessary. Either way, I don't usually have phones long enough to worry about long term battery health ;)

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] raw2000j:
Check ur syncing setting on accounts in settings unchecked what u Dont need like certain things in google
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] tauzins:
ive alrdy done all that you guys sugguested its just weird how my battery is draining... maybe i should wait a couple more days and see? i just got it friday
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] done12many2:
1st full charge. The only thing done to the phone was the removal of the T-Mobile branded apps.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] TramainM:
HOW!!!! I can't even pull off 5 hours of screen time! Let alone 8! And I use power saving mode.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] BACARDILIMON:
You must have a rouge app. Start hunting it down. Better battery atats

NOTE 4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] TramainM:
That's the thing. I only have downloaded 7 apps. All of which have worked fine for me in the past.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] BACARDILIMON:
I know what u saying but what is good for one may not be for another phone. Use the app and see what is going on

NOTE 4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] tauzins:
better battery stats wont work without root tho :(
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] AriaNoob:
Pretty good :D
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] tauzins:
jesus... how are yalls android system soooooo low... lol what did yall not sync, or turn off
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] NICEGYPT:
What I have so far
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] MacMitten:
One thing I did right away was disable/delete face book app and messager. Maybe try that, but just a guess.

Sent from my SM-N910T
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] tauzins:
i honestly think its my facebook/messenger apps that are drianing my battery, because i have them syncing since i run a couple of college groups on there.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] AriaNoob:
Broke the 6hr barrier. Niceeeee! :D
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] eddyz:
does fast charging work with any charger or only the charger that comes with the N4?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] raw2000j:
Only charger that came with Note 4 will charge fast others will be regular speed
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] bamfsig45:
Even after just freezing Facebook and messenger with Titanium, my wake lock app was still reporting wake locks 17 times for Facebook. So I completely removed FB and Messenger.

Prior to freezing FB though, I noticed it it had reported 126 wakelocks in only a couple hours.

If you're having battery issues do away with Facebook and messenger.

I'm using wake lock detector btw
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] chong67:
I cant remove my Tmo branded app. I can only disable it. How did you do it?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] NICEGYPT:
root first. Then use root browser or something and delete whatever you want. :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] done12many2:
I'm sorry, let me clarify. I disabled those apps. Did not remove.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] K_esco:
I'm averaging about 7-9 hours on 1 charge with pretty heave usage which include, constant fb and ig checking or posts, a few YouTube vids, and constant txt/WhatsApp/groupme messages. Coming from a s4 I have no complaints at all lol.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] done12many2:
Same boat. I'm overly pleased with the performance of this phone in just about every category and especially the battery life.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] TramainM:
So I downloaded better battery stats and found this
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] TramainM:
Here are the rest of the screen shots
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] tauzins:
what the hell is system manager....

edit: apparently it sends into to tmobile, however i tried to do the collect data and troubling shotting under, backup settings, and my settings menu crashes.... does anyone else have this issue?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Amd4life:
this is my first smartphone, that is LTE based, that I can run my screen on 100%, and run my music through viper/neutron and a usb dac for 8hrs, and not have to connect the charger. I don't understand how it's done, but my Note 3 I would have to connect after 5hrs under similar daily scenarios. and while I still with the USB3 port was still in use for data transfers, the battery charging speed is super fast

GREAT JOB samsung
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] busab:
Here is today's. I probably average around 4.5 hours of screen on time. Sometimes more sometimes less.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] tauzins:
im not understanding how you guys are just getting such good batter life, even after factory reset, i slowly added apps back on, and it seems like its not even the apps, after i turned on backup data in the google backup/restore settings, random wakes started to happen again. So curious... how many of you actually have the backup turned on in backup/reset settings, and what about restore app settings etc. enabled?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] chong67:
I am very happy with the fast charging. Its amazing.

I should not have bought 2 extra battery. One is enough.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] done12many2:
I did. For $25 bucks for an original battery and cradle, it's nice to have a backup especially when on the road.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] tauzins:
for those of you that disabled apps and such, when you used facebook did you give samsung galaxy app ver 1.3.3 permission to access your facebook? im trying to figure out if this is a cause of battery drain for me.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] K_esco:
Still going strong. Really loving the battery life!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] gnash.s:
I declined the Galaxy app permissions to facebook. I don't have anything syncing with the Samsung account.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] tauzins:
so can i ask, what do you have syncing if anything? also what settings? gps/nfc/bluetooth etc.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] busab:
Ok here is tonight's. This is a new record for my Note 4! Nearly 6 and a half hours of screen on time!

The screen was on auto, I have s-voice turned off but thats it. I did a lot of texting, Facebook, internet, ip cams, and a whole lot of Words with Friends.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] BADBOY1412:
My battery lasts 18 hours, with intense texting, surfing, listening to music... Etc. Not as strong as iphone 6 plus, which i had b4 the note 4 and the iphone last 2 days. however im satisfied with the note 4 since the screen display is amazing
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] btort1:
Can someone look at my stats? What's eating up my battery?!

This was only about 4 hour screentime....
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] gnash.s:
Sorry, for some reason I didn't get any notification.

I do have Wifi, GPS, AutoSync (CloudMagic, 1 work+3 personal email accounts), NFC, Auto Brightness on all the time. I don't use bluetooth that much
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] dn00:
Mine today.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] treoreloaded:
Damn mine really sucks. How come you guys get so much on your battery.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] p()()pypants:
My current best so far(right now) and going...

Been regularly getting 19-24hrs battery life and approx 6 hours screen time in a busier day with auto brightness, location, Wi-Fi and sync on the whole time... I still regularly clear my task manager, but that's it's habit from my s4 n it's memory problems...

But this last time, I've actively turned on battery saving mode(not ultra) when driving or sleeping, killed Wi-Fi when not in use and killed sync and location when driving or sleeping.... look what it's got me so far...

Loving this phone.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] jrocks213:
This is my battery but haven't used it heavy. And I turn on power saving at night.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] keitht:
This phone is incredible with battery life. I can probably make it two full days without charging!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] elosogrande7076:
Are you guys using any of the power saving features? With it I get 12 to 15hrs and 8 hrs SOT. Without it I get 8 to 12 hours with 5.5-6 hrs of SOT
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] p()()pypants:
Final tally... well, as far as I took it.... Plugged it in after these screen shots...

I totally credit killing apps before turning off the screen... I have hardly any awake time without simultaneous screen on time thanks to this, nothing sucking up power in the background.

I still check Facebook frequently, text my wife n receive pictures of the baby, browse xda threads on chrome, even stream movies over my home network to my phone while crapping, but because I kill em before turning off my screen, they don't even register on my power usage list, even when I scrolled down to the bottom... Awesomeness.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Temetka:
How did you do that?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Temetka:
Day 3 of my Note4. I am a heavy Ingress player. Other than that some S-Note use, web, e-mail, music player, and youtube. I have auto sync on, s-health running in the background and screen at 70%. I am really loving this phone. :)

I have 3 Gmail accounts syncing and 1 account syncing with the email app. Facebook also does its auto stuff as well as receiving ingress updates and hangouts updates.

This blows my old S3 out of the water.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] barfingmonkey:
You cheat at ingress?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] rjscott2005:
I was at 73% and tried this. It worked. I'm at 16% now. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Temetka:
I wouldnt even know how to cheat on that game. Why do you ask?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] p()()pypants:
Gps spoofing... but if I understand correctly, they have closed most loopholes and can detect spoofers and penalize them. Dang game just takes too much time though, I played for a month cause I drive around a lot for work n even then i hardly got anywhere. Power players ruin the game n make being a new gamer no fun.

If you want batterylife, try this ROM. it kicks major ass. check this out, and this is with brightness on FULL all the time.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] capecubano:
If you root your phone and flash any custom rom you will have some like this. Hope after 5.0 update kernel get better in the mean time this is a good option with couple tweaks like location off in google and free juice defender. plus manual sync
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] CB620:
No battery saver. Nothing turned off. Brightness on 50%, synching 3 emails. On and off phone all day use.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] rookiegenius:
Mine so far.. Been using since Friday. I have 2 Gmail, 1gmail in the Inbox app, 6 emails in cloudmagic. 50% brightness, wifi always on, GPS only. I'm quite satisfied.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] btort1:
I have google now voice command turned on only when I go on the app, does this affect the battery much?

My phone was on 20 hours standby and 60% no signal, this has got to be killing my battery right? I was getting 4 hour screentime at that time. Waiting on my T mobile LTE signal booster....
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ShrekOpher:
What ROM?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Rinthe:
what's the screen on time?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Rinthe:
3 hours sot so far. good?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] neonsector:
I had the same problem, the first few days the batter life was ok, but not great, after a few cycles I used the battery calibration app and it seems to be pretty good now, I get all day with 5-6 hours screen time,my usage includes text, web, lots of calls and watch a movie or so.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Pops_G:
I recently bought the Moto 360 and I love it. One of the unexpected side-effects of using it is reduced use of my Note 4. I no longer need to pull my phone out and unlock it to check notifications. I can even reply to messages directly from the Moto 360.

The result?

Remaining charge: 35%

On battery: 2d 12h 14m 43s

Screen on time. 1:18:30

My Moto 360 is making it through 2 days also on one charge. What a time to be alive!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Rinthe:
which battery calibration app did you use? are you on a custom rom?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] pham818:
stock rom or nah? (at the time of the screenshot)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] slickmastajay:
Stock unrooted.

Pretty amazing if you ask me..
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] slickmastajay:
Yep. Stock unrooted.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] pezlomd:
I think the sot should be better than that. On my s5 no root I would get 6 hours screen on time with avg of 22 hrs since last charge. In 2 days it would be something like 4 hours. That is great that the moto reduces ur use of the note 4 while still being able to keep up with notifications and etc. I just feel like the note could have much better actual usage time.

Edit. I didn't take into consideration that u still have 35% left so I guess u could squeeze 1hr 30min sot time to that ? Lol this is amazing
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] notenotions:
Brought new note 4 home 2 days ago; out of box 65% charged, so I charged it to 100% before turning it on.

At the end of setup & downloading 580 megs off Play Store, with only 2 hours 15min on phone, the battery was at 39%.

Full brightness.

This seems too much of a drain in such little time, but T-mobile tech said it was normal because of all the downloading.

It doesn't drain at all while tethered, even after 6 hours, proly' cos of the trickle charge from the cable, huh.

So what do you think? TIA!

I'm thinking an external charger & 3 extra batteries should cover it, as it's what I had to do for my last phone, note 2.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] nano303:
Tmobiles techz are stupid. Tryina tell me 2MBPS was quote normal
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] razielpr:
Mine
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Sudbury78:
9 hours. Wtf
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] slickmastajay:
That's the best I've gotten so far almost 10 hrs screen on time. On the note 2 the best i ever got was 6hrs. I average 7-8hrs screen on time on this phone. Can't imagine what I'd get on a custom rom like firekat.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] imafriend123:
help..

can someone please tell me how they're getting 8 hours or 7 hours screen time with this phone. I have everything disabled and the most screen time i got was like 4..

are you guys like not using your phone for something..?

all i do is ebay, web, facebook, text, call, insta, snapchat, and like games for like an hour max. is that using my phone too much?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Temetka:
Do you have a lot of apps syncing? What about GPS, NFC, bluetooth, etc turned on? What about your screen brightness settings?

You also mentioned some gaming. What game is it?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] @rbiter:
6-7h if use naked browser pro with sync on and other radios as I use them. Use mostly LTE only mode also. If I use chrome and/or google+ a lot throughout the day I still get 5h+. Also I use manual brightness often as auto is too aggressive. Everything stock besides Xposed.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] neonsector:
sorry for the late reply,

stock rooted and the app is called BatteryCalibration
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] 2ndammendment:
Why did you charge it to 100% before turning it on? That's not necessary at all, lithium ion batteries do not not have memory and prefer partial charges.

Give your phone a few days to level out then report back with screen shot of battery stays.

Fwiw if I charge my N4 to 100% it lasts 2.7 days with light usage(couple hours a day). If I use it normally it will last 2 days. You shouldn't need all that stuff but it depends on your usage.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] rookiegenius:
The brightness? I use 50% brightness during the day and 25% at night. My battery lasts 5-6 hours. I have lots of emails syncing, location /wifi always on. Also maybe they turn on power saving mode and limit other stuff like location. I don't think this phone can pull a 10 hour screen in time without compromise.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Raziel2k6:
Very happy with battery life on this device!

Here are screens of two different periods. 1st two pics are average / heavy usage, last two are light usage.

This is my first Android for which I have no battery concerns!!!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] BACARDILIMON:
Is that with power save mode on

BAD ASS NOTE 4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Raziel2k6:
Not at all! :) All settings normal power saving wise, WiFi on when at home, turned off as soon as I leave, Bluetooth off (rarely use it), Sync on for multiple apps and accounts, Location on (no Location Reporting), all Gestures off, no Air Wake. One thing that might help is an application I've been using since the old Galaxy S2 days, called Juice Defender (free version). It has no effect on Wifi, however when I leave home and I am on data (LTE), the app will shut off data when the screen is turned off, and re-enable it once every 15 minutes to allow for synchronization, then disable it and so forth. Always liked that app. However THE MOST important thing imho is to open and properly configure each and every application installed, to make sure it is not doing any unwanted activity in the background. Uninstall or disable any unused apps. My two cents. That being said, my previous devices, S2 and S3, where nowhere near this, and I mean nowhere near! Although I was able to get more than most people out of these devices as well, being properly configured... and rooted. Current device is Stock and unrooted btw.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] BACARDILIMON:
Oh cause the first pic was in power saver mode. I was just wondering if you was aware.

BAD ASS NOTE 4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Raziel2k6:
Where does it say Power Saving Mode On? I only see the Power Saving header for that particular screen in settings, that is all. :) Trust me, it's off...

I just got over 7.5 hours today and still going. Probably gonna break to 8 hours. .. that's xperia z2/z3 territory. [emoji2] [emoji2] oh and power saver mode was turned on at 20 percent cuz I went to bed and needed the screen really dimmed. By then I already had over 6.5 hours.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ShrekOpher:
This is a normal days battery life for me. I do not use power saving mode and I leave my screen set to auto brightness.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Bxsteez:
Very much like my battery life. This is much worse than the Note 3 and OnePlus One.

What are you running?

Like rom and kernel
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] remydlc:
Rapture 2.1 and xposed modules amplify and greenify. Bt was on all the time. Autobrightness and WiFi too. Location was off. I use Google Now. Used a lot of Spotify, IG and Chrome.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] ShrekOpher:
You lost 70% of your battery in 5 hours? !?!? That's not good at all. I only lost 60% of my battery in 24 hours. And had an hour more of screen on time then you. Something is not right if your battery is draining that fast.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Bxsteez:
Who you tellin! lol. I don't know what is going on. The first battery cycle was for like 5hrs and it died. I had like 1hr of screen on time.
