Hmm, this is an interesting thread. I took the update weeks ago and my battery has been just as good or better than before the update. And the phone seems snappier as well. And I haven't done a factory reset or anything yet. YMMV with this update it seems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] pr0cl1v1ty:
Same situation for me!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Venom0642:
Agree no battery issues at all and very snappy on my note 4.

At approx 10:35 am (PST) so about 5 minutes ago, I got a "downloading update" message and immediately turned off Wifi which seemed to cancel it.

Anyone know if you can prevent the update by not connecting to wifi?

Or if there's a way to freeze/block/etc the update app, say with Greenify or something similar?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] DARKCHYLDX101:
My battery issue is gone after a cache wipe. Nk3 running well here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] asjshenry:
You can stop the att updater with the donation version of greenify
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ReggieSmith:
Anyone know if there is an app that simply lists the order and date that the current apps on the phone were installed/updated?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] MistaButters:
I give up.

Even after a factory reset my phone is still getting about 3 hours of Screen on Time per day. My Nexus 5 did better than that.

AT&T's only response is to send me a refurbished phone, and I don't want that...

This sucks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] boufa:
So you think bad phone is better than refurbished phone???? Prior to this phone I have had a mix of refurbs (by choice) and new devices. I have only replaced 2 defective phones in many, many years, and both of them were new, not refurbs. My last phone was a Note 2 that I got on refurb and there was absolutely no way to tell.

I personally would take a refurb that can get 4-5-6 hours of screen on time, than a defective phone that can only get 3. I would think 99% of the world would. Don't get hung up on the label "refub"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jaj324:
Sounds like something is wrong with your setup. My battery is at least as good now as b4 the update. Maybe better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] silentecho13:
Well, great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ryudosama:
Looks exactly like mine... :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] RockRatt:
I got the update and do not have a problem (so far at least). I tjink others with problems has it higher that my 16% or your 21%. I have been on the update for just under a week.

Yesterday I had about 4.5 hours of on screen time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] silentecho13:
I wish I could manage that screen time again. I barely get 2.5 hours now if I'm lucky.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] RockRatt:
Well this is now, getting close to be dead. Best I have see on ANY of my phones ever.. I am happy with it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] silentecho13:
5 hours is great. Mine actually died at 2hrs and 18 minutes today lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] httuner:
More bloatware installed with the update, but my phone seems smoother and quicker than before. I actually can deal with the Note 4 now with this update. Previously my phone felt sluggish, but this speed it up. Now we need Root to remove all this crapware. :crying:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Venom0642:
Well all i know my battery life after this update is magnificent

Plus i usually get 5 hrs screen display and close to 2 days before charging again.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] insang-droid:
mine seems to the same, if not slightly worse. However. my boot time is now stupid quick.. which is good since i just reboot if i have any issues.

for me the update is positive. the Android OS usage has gone down significantly from before NK3 update.

I did the cache partition clear as soon as I did the update from the stock recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] XavierD8188:
Hey butters, my phone goes back and forth. One day android system is fine, next it starts acting up. I don't know what's going on with this update and I did a factory reset and everything. Hell I've been reading the threads on a possible fix and nothing seems to work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] MistaButters:
I am having the same problems unfortunately. Some days I get battery life the same as before. Some days it's atrocious. It's just so inconsistent. I know somebody with a Note 4 with the same settings as me that gets nearly the double the screen on time. I think I am going to warranty exchange my phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] XavierD8188:
Part of me want's to hold out hope for Lollipop to fix the issues because I think it's just a bug within the software and not necessarily the phone because I never had this issues prior to this update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] MistaButters:
Normally with an unlocked bootloader, I'd just reflash everything to see if that fixed it. Unfortunately that isn't possible. I wish there was a way to fully reflash every partition.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] insang-droid:
have you tried this?

http://xdaforums.com/note-4-att/general/guide-disable-knox-ota-updates-apps-root-t2976315

i forgot to charge last night (unplugged at charger side) and i was at 26%.. 1 day 1 hour of use. 4 hours of SOT.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] MistaButters:
I have not. Mostly because I know 2 other people with Note 4s who have not, and both consistently get 5-6 hours SOT. So to have a comparison I have made sure our phones are set up as close to identical as I can. Currently I get around 3:30 SOT for a full charge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jokesonme:
I'm in the same boat. And my screenshot are on the battery thread to prove it. I was getting 6-7 hours SOT in about a 16 days use consistently. Now I'm under 4 using all of the tweaks for the OTA from this thread. It hurts. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] insang-droid:
Try the safe mode? i know it really cripples the phone, but if the most of the apps you use are part of stock, then trying SAFEMODE will give true determination of whether it's the phone itself.. or the 3rd party app,
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jokesonme:
It happened immediately after the update. No apps changed, same usage as before
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jokesonme:
I am not completely knowledgeable on all of this, although I've been rooting and doing custom roms etc for a couple years, I wanted to ask... If I take my Note 4 into AT&T, do they have the capabilities to reflash say older firmware? To reverse this OTA update and maybe get it back to stock, or once its on its on type of deal?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] insang-droid:
i believe they said you can revert back.. then do the "adb shell" command to block the OTA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jokesonme:
But I would have to take it into ATT to revert back yes?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] insang-droid:
taking it back to ATT is one option, ODIN is another.

Thanks for this link! I remember seeing this a long time ago, I'm downloading the file now and going to attempt to go back to stock with Odin. Will report back on finding and if battery usage goes back to normal :) You are the man!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] XavierD8188:
You can't flash old firmware via AT&T or Samsung. I asked and they said it would brick your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jokesonme:
Actually I just followed the guide in the link above and it worked perfectly. Here is a screen shot showing the older firmware now restore on the phone.

Ignore the cute girls picture in the bottom of the screen. On the phone :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] XavierD8188:
Hmm, gonna suck going through that again lol. Only downside to that is you'll have to install that update again before you can upgrade to Lollipop if I'm not mistaken.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jokesonme:
I am back on the stock image, and I must admit that the battery is still as bad as the update. Cleared the cache after reverting back and I don't know what's wrong. I included a battery screenshot. 83% and only 2h30m and 53m SOT. Only having texted and used FB. Any ideas? Again I haven't added any new apps, etc. This is super frustrating.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] XavierD8188:
The thing that's bothering me so much is that the Android System is using as much battery as your screen. That shouldn't be the case. I've notice on pretty much everyone that's having battery issues, the Android System is either using just as much or more battery than the SOT and that's probably causing battery life to be horrible as well. Before the update my SOT was always at the top and not even close to the other things..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jokesonme:
Exactly! Before screen use was ALWAYS at top, I've never even clicked Android System until now. I am still doing testing, but so far I think my stand by time is meh, ok. Not as great as before. But it seems like with my screen on its draining it much quicker then before. Last night I did safe mode testing and same results. So I know its not apps etc. And with just downgrading back to the stock image I dont think I have to do another factory reset. I have so many things turned off, and then I used that "Block Knox and OTA" script to block things. I dont know.

Maybe trying to factory reset and leave all the bloatware? I know that sounds crazy but I don't know. Maybe disabling too many apps is doing it I dont know :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Namorbrowneyes:
Maybe its google play services
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Genesis730:
I'm not sure. I'm not on the update (I don't think) nor have I ever been bothered about it. I run Bluetooth constantly to hook up to my Gear S as well as GPS, battery life seems fine. Typically into my second day before a recharge is necessary. With all that being said if there's anything that can be copied or taken from my phone to help, I'm all ears but there's no battery issue here. Bummer to those who are experiencing it :/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jokesonme:
I don't know how this happened.. But after I reverted to the stock image, i didn't have time to put in the commands to disable OTA update and it kept popping up as I was boarding my flight so I just did the update, figuring I'd just re-flash to stock when I land. Instead I left it... And.... Here are my usages in Chicago and Milwaukee from Tuesday to today. This is insane I don't know how this happened. The only difference is I didn't have my normal use of screen time (usually a bit more like 5-6 hours in a day) but this still got 4 hours although it was over the course of 2 days. And again this is with the update. Here are the screnshots
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Venom0642:
That's definitely good battery life there, is what i usually get myself on NK3 as well.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] XavierD8188:
Just did a general search on Android OS Battery Drain and it seems like this is an issue for a lot of phones going back to the S4 as well as other android manufacturers. It's some bug in the Android system itself and sometimes it fixes itself but I guess we just have to wait until the Lollipop update to see what happens. This is very disappointing though. I don't think there's anything that can be done to fix this. I had a G2 and was running CM11 on it and had the same issue but it was a lot worse. I'd lose 50% battery in about 2 hours so hopefully google gets their sh*t together and fix this problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Techweed:
That doesn't look that impressive, honestly. I always manage at least 6+ hours screen on time on a single charge, many times over 7 hours. I haven't updated yet; I'm still on the original Build.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] xlr8shun:
its impressive for many that did update.. I think that was the point of his post..

no one is complaining about battery life on nie(stock original), lots more complain about battery life on nk3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Techweed:
I see. I thought he was saying he was still getting good battery time despite being on NK3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] xlr8shun:
I believe thats what he was saying.. now im confused ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] XavierD8188:
Before the update I was getting about 6 1/2 hours of SOT and about 2 days worth of battery..

---------- Post added at 02:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:02 PM ----------

I tried something and may have fixed the problem even though it's a bit too early to tell. I've been having some issues sim wise so I went to the AT&T store got a new sim and I had to reboot a few times for the sim to register then I let my battery die completely. After that I left the phone off until it charged to 100% and it seems to be back to normal. Even though it's a small sample size and my phones been off the charger for like an hour, my screen time is 39% and Android OS is like 10% so hopefully the problem has resolved itself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jokesonme:
I'm back to the normal poor battery life after the update. About 4 hours SOT and 14 total.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] XavierD8188:
Hey why don't you try the steps above? This is mine since
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] XavierD8188:
Hey are you still having issues with Android OS eating up most of the battery? Mine seems to have stop after my visit to AT&T. When I went to AT&T I switched my Sim card because the old one wouldn't send text right away and I wouldn't receive calls. During that process I had to reboot my phone at least 5 times because the sim wouldn't initially work. That require me taking the battery out completely when switching the sim. After that I let the battery die completely then left it off while I charge it to 100% and it seems to have fixed the issue. Maybe give that a try and see if it helps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] MistaButters:
I'll try it out. Thanks! Just as a heads up, when you post battery screenshots also click on Screen and screencap your SoT. It adds a lot more context.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] XavierD8188:
My bad, SOT is right at 2hrs right now so that's about 30 mins every 10% so doing the math I should theoretically get about 5hrs or more of SOT
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] MistaButters:
Holy crap. That's great battery life. I'm back up around 4 hours SOT. It's not as good as the original software, but much better than my first two weeks with the update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jokesonme:
I drained completely last night. Pulled off the charger an hour ago so we will see how today goes. I will keep the option for swapping out the sim card on the table
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] XavierD8188:
Yeah, give it a try and let me know how it works out for you. I've heard taking the battery completely out and waiting for a few seconds helps so I guess just go through the whole process and let me know if it helps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] XavierD8188:
It's been about a week now and I can confirm my phone is back to normal with Screen being the main consumption of my battery.

Did it work for you? Also was your phone completely off when you charged it? Also make sure you take out the battery for a couple seconds when it's dead
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] MistaButters:
I'm still pretty inconsistent. I drained my battery. I battery pulled. I pulled SIM and reset. Got nearly 5 hours SOT the end of last week, but a measly 3 yesterday.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] XavierD8188:
That's so weird. Mine has been back to normal since. Hopefully the Lollipop update will fix it for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jokesonme:
Mine has been pretty up and down as well. Trying to wait out the Lollipop update that is supposed to hit this month, so I don't waste time flashing back and blocking OTA. Hopefully it comes soon :-/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] jokesonme:
Back on NIE, and my last day was 1d12h and 5h42m SOT. I should have went back a lot sooner.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] XpyroXcoreX:
OK so I'm on nk3 and my phone doesn't say there's an update. Last night my phone just stopped getting signal. After reading through some of this thread I looked at my battery and saw how much android system and phone are taking up. I've done factory resets cleared cache all of that. I'm going to try a new Sim card later tonight when I get off work. Any other ideas?? I've only had the phone since Monday night.

anyone who has NK3 installed can you do a ADB pull of system and upload for US who have ported Note4 to Note3, I would like to see if it helps the Note 4 AT&T port. Thanks for any help.

you need android ADB (sdk) installed. (root is not required to pull)

you need from settings Developer Options/ USB debugging checked

also watch for the pop up to give PC access

from cmd promp

adb pull /system c:\systempull

this will pull your system folder and copy to a folder systempull

I am also in the UK and have spoke to AT$T. They told me that to be updated, the phone has to be connected to the at$t network. So apart from waiting for the update to be downloaded to flash, you'll have to jump on a plane to the states. It can be an expensive update...

1. This was the first OTA update I have been able to execute on an encrypted phone

2. The lock screen now displays weather where it didn't before (I am using Nova as my default launcher, and had assumed the lack of weather display was caused by the lack of the TW weather widget running)

3. I am now having random creation of app shortcuts in Nova - even though I have confirmed that autocreate of shortcuts is off in both Google Play and Nova

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] boufa:
There always has to be one....

It seems to work ok on everyone else's phones, so either a) your expectations are too high or b) you have something on your phone that is causing it to bog down.

I cannot imagine it working any faster on my phone than it already does. The transitions between screens is near instant, and the apps drawer pops right open. Apps load up reasonably quick, depending of course on the size of the app.

The recent apps button still has a noticeable lag in it, but it is definitely quicker than it used to be.
