I used the 50% off coupon code Samsung sent me for buying the phone to order the spare battery and charger from their store... After code it was only $20! Now I'm not worried about battery life lol. Just arrived yesterday

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] died4u525:
I'm actually very happy with my battery life. I had a rooted GS3 before the Note 4 and I bought the ZeroLemon extended battery for the S3. I had decent battery life on that but I use my phone so much, with the screen on, that I wanted to stay off the charger for more than 4-5 hours at a time.

I was concerned about the battery life with the Note 4 before I got it because I've never had a Galaxy Note before. I have to say that I absolutely love the phone and the battery life I've been getting! I'm not rooted, at least not yet. I'm getting 6.5 to just over 8 hours of screen on with moderate to heavy usage. I am on WiFi almost all the time. I hardly make or receive phone calls but I do text and use WhatsApp a lot. No Bluetooth, no NFC, haptic feedback turned off for everything, brightness turned down very low. Mobile data turned off when I'm home since I'm on WiFi. I use the s-pen quite a bit. I use Tasker to change some settings when I go out, come home, etc. I play games (Restaurant Story, Stand O' Food, and some others daily), watch YouTube, Facebook, XDA app, lots of reading articles using Chrome Beta, lots of apps that I'm sure don't tax the phone too much. I use the black background for every app that has it as an option. Now if I've been playing GTA: San Andreas then the battery crashes fast. LOL But that's expected.

Anyway, I'm just trying to give an idea of what I do on my phone. I consider my usage to be pretty heavy but everyone has their own opinion of what heavy or moderate usage means.

Edit: amazingly I just hit 9 hours of screen on. I'm down to 2%. Now that I hit 9 hours I can plug my charger in. LOL Saw it getting close so I waited.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] trewardtx:
Dont know about you sir but the battery is amazing on my end.....moderate use at work all day and the phone is still on 92%.....
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] zeraworld:
Wow that is awesome. I have never seen a device get that much screen on time without being rooted. Is it a software problem for me then that is causing a battery drain ?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] zeraworld:
My battery life was really bad today. Only 1 and a half hour of screen on time and my battery was already down to 65%. And I didn't even use my phone that much....
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] imex99:
How do you do that?

My current wake locks
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] fatboypup:

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] zeraworld:
My battery got better but still worse than the note 3'whats causing those wakelocks?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] zeraworld:
My battery has gotten a lot better!!! :)

Still want an update tho. I wonder when sprint is going to release the update that the international note 4 already has.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] theoner1:
Here's mine. All on mobile data, accidentally switch on WiFi for less than a minute.

Best better performance I've ever had on any of my smart phones, including my beloved Note 2, which is my second best.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] darkknight49:
What's happening?!

Mine seems pretty bad. Yesterday, I was at 8% with just a smidgen more that 3 hours screen on time. Attached is mine today.

Dunno, maybe I'm not being patient enough but compared to what a lot of people have been getting, mine seems subpar.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] zeraworld:
It is most likely because of Android system. Is your phone rooted or no?? If it is you can try to disable or freeze some of the samsung bloatware apps... because those are the apps that usually stay running in the background and can drain your battery. Samsung puts too much bloatware and all their stuff are always running in the background. I disabled them and my battery got better. Getting around 4-7 hrs of screen of time depending on how i use it. I really want to try android lollipop stock or with touchwiz ... to see how it performs in terms of battery life
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Jeffbucc:
I guess I'm one of the few that thinks it is pretty good/normal. Moderate to heavy use as well.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] furiousgtz:
Need to go through few battery charging cycle. Like any new battery it will drain quickly and gets better.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] emeraldayotte:
I'm only on day 2 and getting decent battery life (excellent compared to my Nexus 5).

I've been on mobile data all day, phone calls, text, some surfing and syncing two different email accounts.

Hoping to get some of these other numbers that I see everyone posting.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] darkknight49:
Well, i did a factory reset and removed most of the samsung bloat (kept s health) and i got 4.5 hours SoT last full cycle. Not rooted, btw. Right now im sitting at 73% with 1h33m SoT so its getting quite a bit better.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] spleef:
Heavy use considering my second day with it. ... not bad imo
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] zeraworld:
My battery life has been fluctuating. I sometimes get good battery life and sometimes bad....
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] urbanlink:
To anybody that knows:

Is the high amount android system battery use the new norm because of all the new 'features' ? I cam from note 2 and when it was dialed in, it always went screen then standby on battery usage. Then again I was greenified, rom, underclocked etc.

Side bar gripe; when talking on the phone, no data so maps don't update when using GPS. :( big inconvenience!

Decent battery life here, all I did was greenify a select few system apps, all user apps and froze allshare.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Itchiee:
Actually, not as much as you would think, and compared to other offenders. I've had my Note since purchase as a running pedometer. I take the thing everywhere i walk and average around 6000 steps per day. Its constantly running and with my normal usage I'm getting 6-8 hours of SOT.

I have rooted and tweaked some stuff, it's not my first samsung device that's for sure. Great hardware, just too much software running for the user experience. This has been the best one so far....
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] died4u525:
I have not so much as paused the S Health pedometer since I got the phone on launch day and I get over 7 to over 9 hours of screen on time every day. I also use the SpO2 sensor and occasionally the Coach feature. I've tried the heart rate monitor so many times but it doesn't get my heart rate at all or takes 5+ attempts, usually more like 10+ while the SpO2 sensor gets it much easier which is odd. Anyway the battery life is amazing for me on my stock unrooted Note 4.

I think I'll be rooting it soon but the battery life has been so incredible that I've been afraid of screwing that up somehow after I root. There are just certain root only features I really miss and want to have on my new phone. Improving the battery life has been one of my main reasons for rooting my last 3 phones but not this one.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Stryke_the_Orc:
I had to root mine, between the home button waking the device and greenify non root version I was losing about 15% an hour, now I average <3% with heavy use. With the right setup you've nothing to lose.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] leedawg:
And what would this right setup you speak of be if you don't mind me asking?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Stryke_the_Orc:
I removed nearly all bloat, installed greenify, disabled a ton of startup stuff that I'll never need or use with TiBu.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] tx_dbs_tx:
terrible battery life on stock factory fresh note 4

For what it's worth, my wife got her note 4 the same time I did and her phone was getting terrible battery life without changing anything (she leaves her phones untouched and hates changing anything from original). My wife returned her phone and repurchased another one at a different Sprint location and the battery life on the new phone has been very good. She was losing 30% battery life overnight without use on stock settings on first phone. Mine on the other hand has been fine since new, even after root, flashing TWRP, custom rom, etc.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] kaice30:
For anyone experiencing horrible battery. This app worked for me. I went to sleep with %100 and woke up with 98% screenhshot is on my post in the themes and apps section. I thought I was the only one that had bad bat life. But this app improved it.

Stock nie rooted. Couple google apps removed. Any idea why android system is showing so much usage. Also turned on pwer saving at 20%
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] nacron:
Coming from a Galaxy Note 3, my new Note 4 has comparatively bad battery life. The Note 3 never used as much power for the screen as this Note 4 does. In GSam, it shows typically 25-45% battery for the screen. I have Lux running so it has a much lower brightness than with the stock brightness manager. Currently it's shows 9% discharge with 27 min since off charge. The upper portion of the screen is also constantly hot when screen is on. I removed my SD card to eliminate that as a battery drain and it still runs down fast. Yesterday, I was at the mall about 4 hours and it went down from 99% to 15%. I averaged 8-10 hours on my note 3. What's up with this phone? I'm going to try master reset and possibly root later to see if it affects battery life.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] kermit5327:
I have to say that so far the battery life seems to be pretty good for me.

This is the battery life I hear others talk about and I am glad to witness it. I cleared my cache recently and it improved greatly. I've been of the charge since 4pm and forgot to place it back on the charger when I came back home.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] zeraworld:
Mine isn't so great.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
This phone is not a wall hugger!

These are my battery stats starting the night before a flight from Orlando to L.A. with a few hours in Disney World. I put the phone on the charger the night before. The phone spent some time in airplane mode but got 3 hours of Milk Music premium off line playback.

I used it a full day and night after returning home and didn't need a charge or plugin until the second morning. I didn't use it for navigation so tracking was set to power saving mode. .

Running rooted stock with Xposed framework and modules active.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] DarkManX4lf:
OK I need some battery tips. I can't seem to get more than 2 or three hours if battery.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] samep:
Aside from the post above yours, here's a copy of a previous post that may give some more input on how I save battery.

Rooting didn't seem to add any benefit but may help a bit with rogue apps that keep the phone awake occasionally.

" I'm using an Xposed module recent app cleaner with "remove and force stop" apps with screen off after thirty seconds because some apps abuse the wake lock. I've just white listed a few apps to keep sync. At night add the airplane mode to nearly flat line the drain in battery chart.

I've seen PayPal, Gmail, Google Music, Google+, Smart Remote, Unified Daemon (location for stock time and weather widget) and Lookout Security draw more battery so an alternative to recent app cleaner would be to freeze or remove them. Use the Samsung email with Samsung push service for sync.

Also seems the Wi-Fi calling at home saves more battery. Battery use varies with applications used. I get 5-10+ hours of screen on time with one or two days between charges." -posted last Christmas; still getting about 8 hours screen on time.

Anyone losing 30% of battery overnight with Wi-Fi on? Maybe Wi-Fi power saving is disabled? In dialer, *#0011# and select the menu tab, Wi-Fi, scroll down and verify it's "on". Reboot.

Location could be set to low power if not navigating. I opt out of Google location tracking and all others that ask for it. Even Wi-Fi calling can be set to use low power.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] thepiecesfit:
I average about 3-4 hours screentime per day. But I use two gmail accounts, exchange via Mailwise and Facebook. Would love to see 5-7 hours like some screenshots here. Just loaded CMremix recently will see how that goes.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] thepiecesfit:
lol 4 hours of screen time. I wish i got that much. Already checked betterbatterstats and different apps dont get any indication of drain. I average 2 - 2/12 hours of screen time. The biggest drain has been wifi on 5.0 and scan wifi networks when off. That helped me get great standby time but SOT is still awful. My mobile network signal is almost all orange , in NYC so that might have something to do with it. But with no way to easily toggle 4g dont want to go back and forth. I am on OE1, debated on getting a new battery.

- auto brightness off

- brightness at about 40%

- WIFI/location off

- utilize two gmail accounts and one exchange account, disabling exchange didnt seem to have much impact.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] catseyenu:

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] beezar:
You should upgrade to 5.1.1, people report much better battery life vs. 5.0
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] thepiecesfit:
I would like to but doesnt seem to be a great path from OE1 to OG5. Anyone rooted on OG5? Seems like the workarounds to get rooted on this release are not that great. Also are you stuck on OG5 based roms after that ? Dont mean to derail this conversation.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 General] Chubby19865:
Yeah that's good battery life. I remember when my battery life was like that :(. Now i'm getting 2 hours and 30 mins screen on time. It sucks and it forced me to get the zerolemon 10000mah extended battery. I got it yesterday. I am currently rooted with alliance rom v3.

Hi there,

I've been watching this forum for quite some time now and usualy find al the answers here. But this time I can't...

I recently received my Artemis, and since I'm a Voipbuster user, I would like to use my Artmis as a 'headset' for my PC, connecting via bluetooth, calling over Voip onmy PC, and talking and listening on my Artemis.

Is this possible and how?

Thanks for all the help,

Guano Aapje
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] vaggoul:
Hi, I think its easy enough to do so. I use to do this with skype but the idea is the same.

First the bluetooth stack that windows has is no good. You gonna need another one with more profiles. I use the WIDCOMM bluetooth stack.

I dont now what hardware u have, mine was branded in device properties "blutonium" and its internal in my laptop, I search their site and downloaded the said drivers (stack). Now maybe urs maybe different... u should find one and the newest version the best. Use google or something...

Anyway, after installation I run the bluetooth configuration utility and after pairing my bluetooth headset with my laptop I shoose to use the profile "hands free audio" with my headset. Afterwards I open skype and in settings where u choose audio (in which the only option before was my sound card) now appeared the option of my wireless headset. After that the sound comes from my headset.

I think that u can choose to use the Artemis as a "hands free audio device" among others when u do the pairing.

The funny thing is that u can do the opposite and when pairing u can choose your PC to be Artemis' hands free audio meaning that... when u play an mp3 or someting on ur Artemis u can hear it through ur PC speakers... from 10 meters distance...

The only requirement is to have a new and feature-rich bluetooth stack.

Good Luck

Hey guys, anyone have issues with MHL and the z2?

I have a 5 pin MHL adapter and cables in working order. I have tested with other phones in the house and they work fine.

When I connect the Z2 I get a blank (black) screen for a few seconds and then the HDMI no input signal comes up. If I play with the phone's touch screen I can wake it up to a black screen again for a few seconds. Never is the actual picture transmitted.

This is using the most recent paranoid ROM 4.6 Beta 3. I don't know if it ever worked on this phone because I don't think I ever tested.

Ideas?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
alot of non stock roms usualy have these featues non working, this could be your cause, if not this then the cause could be your MHL addaptor, Z3 supports MHL 3.0 and this may interfere with other devices compatability

:D
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nilism:
Apparently this issue was a connection issue. I spent some time playing with everything and got it to work. I am not sure why I had such a hard time with the Z2 when the other phones just worked right away and weren't fussy at all.. Such is life though I guess.

hi everyone,

im really new to xda so im not sure if this is where i should be posting this but hopefully someone can still help me out..?

well i bought this verizon s3 off ebay about a month or so ago- refurbished for a fairly cheap price, and it was running fine the whole time. then one of my friends told me about custom ROMs and how easy it was to get. He told me to root my device and he would do the rest. After about an hour i got root access through saferoot and was quite pleased with myself. I didnt give it to him yet, and i havent installed any ROMs myself either (A couple days went by waiting for his response) when suddenly my device started lagging quite a lot. I just quickly closed my apps and pressed restart, and now i cant turn it on!

Apparently i couldve bricked it? i know i potentially voided the warranty but it was past a year already. i dont understand how it couldve happened, nothing happened during the rooting process- everything went very smooth. So what can i do now? Is it bricked? How can i unbrick it? Is it the battery? the screen? the power button? It doesnt boot AT ALL. no vibration, but the red LED lights up when plugged into the computer WHEN THE BATTERY IS OUT.

Im really at a loss here so any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
