Unless you re rooted..not much. If u will root, a different rom/kernel combo will do wonders...
[Galaxy Note5 General] supermedo:
I can definitely root if it'll help, what combo do you suggest?
[Galaxy Note5 General] carlitobahsoun:
i use servicely app with greenify and stock kernel coming with the dr ketan rom....i post here only on wifii using....try this rom and see what u will get
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
Darthstalker v5, skyhigh 3.2 and i m undervolted by around -75mv on almost everything...also overclocked to 2.4a57 and 1.6a53 cores. Gpu also @ 852mhz... I get around 8-9 hrs normal usage and a minimum of 4-5hrs SOT...also running xposed modules greenify and amplify. The most sot i got using only wifi and pretty light usage was around 14hrs...it all depends how you treat your phone and also the cell reception/wifi strength is very important. You can check my other posts to see my battery performances so far...
[Galaxy Note5 General] cricketgirl90:
M sorry to say that doesn't work for me either. Stock works best for me
[Galaxy Note5 General] LiL_Assassin:
Glad it worked for you that way :) I was never happy with the limitations of stock (even stock Android or stock tw) back in the day. But it has improved greatly. There's mods and tweaks coming out now for the note 5 that pretty much means you could be stock and then make your own tweaks. The main reason why I like custom roms specially note 5.is that they remove most of the bloat and let you ad what you want with Aroma. But speaking of which. To anyone who reads this thread. If anyone gets less than 0.3% in standby with wifi and data on. Let me know how you did it. I have done many different Roms and tried many tweaks. My old s3 back in the day. I managed to get it down to 0.1%
[Galaxy Note5 General] cricketgirl90:
What tweaks please explain. I can't seem to tweak my rooted nexus 4 is anyway and battery drain is worst than stock
[Galaxy Note5 General] LiL_Assassin:
Im not sure about nexus 4 because I never had one. But I'd download better battery stats. Kill off apps you don't want that boot up when your phone does, download Amplify and use that to curb your wake locks. Could always try LSpeed. I never had much luck with it. And or download a debloat script for your nexus and rid everything unnecessary... You could always have another look at custom roms and see if there's something that catches your eye. But I'd look at custom kernels. They can really make a device shine. I'd help more so if I had one.. But I only really know about devices I have owned or currently have. Cause I am always on XDA. The curse of being a flash junkie
[Galaxy Note5 General] cricketgirl90:
It's a custom rom. There r no extra apps or services that I don't use
[Galaxy Note5 General] LiL_Assassin:
Then I would check what wake locks are destroying your battery or services. And i would check out the custom kernel department. The is your best bet.
[Galaxy Note5 General] lastfugi1979:
For Every 15 mins, 1 have 1% drop in the battery level in Idle state. Is this normal? I have a rooted SM-N920G. Also running Greenify (hibernated all apps), Root Booster (set in Extreme battery boost mode) and Samsung power saver ON - all at the same time. Does this sound weird to anyone??

Here is the screenshot from my phone, showing a very sharp decline in battery level. :(

http://imgur.com/u6mQkEt

Edit: I have flashed Dr Ketan ROM and Xposed Module in the past, but now back to Stock ROM , Stock Kernel.
[Galaxy Note5 General] cricketgirl90:
I wish I had that much time. I'd just go back to stock. Thanks anyways
[Galaxy Note5 General] LiL_Assassin:
Ungreenify everything and only greenify things like Facebook/messenger and hangouts. Greenify everything just means it uses power to open everything also use xposed with it. Do you have stock kernel? Your device probably isn't going into deepsleep. Once you root, you need a custom kernel. Or a modified stock kernel. Not sure what root booster is... Power saving mode is only for when device is on I am sure. You need to find the wake locks and that's when true deepsleep happens. When your device can actually sleep
[Galaxy Note5 General] lastfugi1979:
Thanks [MENTION=4503514]LiL_Assassin[/MENTION], could you suggest any modified kernel for better battery performance? I tried using Xposed, but it says i need a "de-oxidized ROM" to use it..

---------- Post added at 05:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------

Like you suggested i "un-greenified" all apps now, except FB, Whatsapp and eMail . In the past i used Dr ketan ROM with Xposed module, but i felt the battery was draining very fast even then (1% for every 5 mins SOT). Not sure if i missed doing any tweaks!!!.
[Galaxy Note5 General] LiL_Assassin:
First post

1. Im not sure about stock kernels. That would be something you would have to check out as I don't use them and don't want to be the reason something happens to your device. Look up wanam xposed. It doesn't need that and you can flash 78.1.. Works brilliantly (79 works on 5.11 and 6.0 but causes some apps to crash)

2. Second post. Try the latest Dr keten v9 and use a custom kernel. I use sky high but can attest to arter kernel (it's more friendly for not having to change much. Sky high has alot of changable parameters) try that and once you Have installed and setup. Download better battery stats and make sure your device is going into deepsleep. The highest I have ever drained was 2% p/h in deepsleep. But now it's about 0.8% p/h
[Galaxy Note5 General] golfinggino:
After using this phone for about a week ~ stock unrooted ~ first phone in the last 6 months out of 10 phones that has not been rooted and I can say the battery life is not great ~ I am a heavy user compared to most on here connected to my gear s sync on with 6 email accounts location on and the phone died with 3.5 hours sot today. I am getting approx double this with my nexus 6p connected to my moto 360 and 6 hours sot with my nexus 6 and my moto 360. The only reason i havent rooted and installed a custom rom on the note 5 is because I wasn't sure if I am going to keep it or not. My question is will I get alot better battery with a custom rom / kernel? To me this is not acceptable and as much as I love my gear s I would rather run stock android with android wear if that means getting through a full day without charging ~ any comments appreciated thanks, chris

edit - my phone must not have been charged properly yesterday - same usage today and I am at 3 hours and 20 min sot and still have 46 % battery remaining
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
Rooted...darthstalker v5...skyhigh 3.5 ..medium-high usage...brightness set to dim/dark/auto...around half a day on data and the rest on wifi or off during sleep...using xposed amplify and greenify... Running it undervolted and overclocked to 2.4 ...gpu @852mhz... I m happy!
[Galaxy Note5 General] fenderguy05:
I've had the phone for a couple of months now and have been pleased with the battery life so far. I pull it off the charger between 6 and 630 every morning and when I get home from work around 4pm I've had around 20 or 30% remaining. During most of that time, probably 80 to 90% on an average day, I'm streaming some sort of audio over LTE. Sirius, Pandora, etc. I'm also constantly checking my phone, browsing from time to time and playing a bit of Sim City. Once i'm home i typically don't need to charge it until around 7 or 8 depending on the usage.

I meant to include some of the settings I have on my phone. My phone isn't rooted and is running standard software, I've disable much of the bloat and have the T-mobile version of the note. I don't have wifi at the office so I try and leave that off during the day but all other settings are still on and it does update the location throughout the day.

I don't believe that someone can watch 10+ hours of movies with a one time charge.

hey guys

i just got a note 5, installed all the normal apps, and the battery life is only marginally better than my old galaxy s6.. kinda dissapointed

any tips for me? i have attached my stats.
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
Root..and then just read through xda threads to find the best compromise for you (rom, kernel, settings, etc) because there s no one tip that can assure you get better results..and it all comes down to how u actually use the phone so ...everybody s story is different.
[Galaxy Note5 General] yaggy85:
i turned off location and NFC and the battery has been AMAZINGLY good today! Much better on the standby drain, and it still at 60% after 12 hours of use today.
[Galaxy Note5 General] spivey17323:
My Life

I get pretty great battery life by turning off location and wifi when its not needed. Pretty simple but works.
[Galaxy Note5 General] LiL_Assassin:
WiFi uses far less than 3g though
[Galaxy Note5 General] spivey17323:
When WiFi isn't available turning WiFi off conserves battery life and stops ones phone from continuously scanning for networks.
[Galaxy Note5 General] gilliantpham:
How can you install xposed from to your Note 5 N9208 to use Amplify? I cannot install it, I have flashed the file xposed-v79-sdk22-arm64.zip by TWRP and my phone reboots continued and cannot boot to homescreen. My phone is already rooted, use custom ROM and kernel. Please guide me how to install xposed. Thank you
[Galaxy Note5 General] carlitobahsoun:
its better u ask ur rom development
[Galaxy Note5 General] LiL_Assassin:
Try v78.1. Its the most stable for my device. I just flash it with philz and reboot. Android does its thing. And it boots fine
[Galaxy Note5 General] ___vampire___:
is that good or not ? :D

i play games, surf the net, makes some calls and listen to music!

now i have 32 % after 16 hr 15 min on battery!

i cant find better than that !! can you ?

if you have any questions, it would be my pleasure to answer :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] samer menla:
Why is my android system draining some battery and android OS too, im on stock rom rooted with arter 11, only wifi, normal usage, max SOT 5 hour
[Galaxy Note5 General] zoreli:

[Galaxy Note5 General] imkr1:
Can you tell me what did you disabled? I used It too but seem can't get past 4.30h SOT
[Galaxy Note5 General] arberkokoshi:
How is that even posible. I cant pass 3 hours sot. I am rooted whith arten 11 stock rom. I dnt know what to do?
[Galaxy Note5 General] a2kay:
what you all disabled? tell us, pls :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] Son of Hades:
My nexus4's battery drain is medium.. For more battery charge i have installed lollipop speed mode revolution by recovery and set by terminal emulator.. (I hope that I have write right because english is not my mother language).. Check out lollipop speed mode revulution.. Is a very good mod and you can disinstallal in every time...

[Galaxy Note5 General] Lucoso46:
I don't know what's going on. I did a factory reset before boot the firmware but i hope it improves
[Galaxy Note5 General] LiL_Assassin:
Are you on stock/previously rooted?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Lucoso46:
Stock

---------- Post added at 04:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:44 PM ----------

No. Sorry i was with XtreStoLite 2.4 and arter kernel v11 sorry
[Galaxy Note5 General] LiL_Assassin:
If you are in stock kernel and stock firmware it's because your device isn't going into deepsleep due to Knox being 0x1. Flash a custom kernel or a modified one from Dr keten rom. You can skip everything and just install the kernel and your battery should drastically improve.

If you are on note 5. If you are on another phone. See if there's a tweaked kernel for it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Carlmoran13:
My sot is bad...how to improve sot
[Galaxy Note5 General] LiL_Assassin:
First fix your deepsleep. Turn brightness down. Sync off. GPS off. Nfc off and see you will a great improvement
[Galaxy Note5 General] Carlmoran13:
O already did all that and i still vet bad sot
[Galaxy Note5 General] ViperCDX:
hey guys i dont think i m getting good battery life.

kindly check the attached gsam stats and comment.

i use auto brightness,wifi most of the time,rarely 3g.

use my phone for web browsing ,games etc

all sensors such as bluetooth,nfc,gps are off
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ohhdayumm:
Sorry to break it to you but that's really bad battery life......
[Galaxy Note5 General] ViperCDX:
thats what i thought too

what should i do?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ohhdayumm:
I'm not sure lol it depends on what you are doing. Try factory reset and don't download any apps and see if you can figure which app is draining battery.
[Galaxy Note5 General] ViperCDX:
I have done factory reset twice

The second time i only installed whatsapp and used the phonefor 2 days. It was the same.

I have checked gsam and stockbattery manager,no particular app isdraining battery
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ohhdayumm:
I'm then that seems like a bad battery. If you still have warranty then try to exchange it for a new one. That's all I can think of because to find the issue with out root it more difficult
[Galaxy Note5 General] ViperCDX:
yeah thats what i decided too

i just needed to confirm with people who use the note5 that only my phones battery is actually bad and that its not a general thing

out of curiosity do u know if they will only change the battery or replace the entire phone??
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
That s normal batt life with those settings. About 30 mins per 10% battery while on data, not wifi. It s what i get too.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ohhdayumm:
I use the same settings as him on weekends I don't burn through my battery that quick tho.
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
The way we use our phones differs from person to person but the average for 50% brightness while on data connection not wifi is around 30mins sot every 10% battery used. I ve seen this on my phone and on at least 10 other note 5s used in the same manner so i can safely say it s the "default" performance...basically anything from 3.5 to 5.5 hrs of sot while on data with minimum of 50% brightness is considered normal, mileage will vary with phone signal strength, usage, apps, etc but that s the baseline. On wifi anything between 5 to 7-8hrs sot is considered normal @ 50% brightness. Hope i ve cleared you guys up a little.
[Galaxy Note5 General] ViperCDX:
My phone is on data connection while i am on duty that js two days a week from 9 am to 3 pm one day and 9 am to 9 pm another day. Rest of the week my phone is on wifi.

Data does consume more battery but it isnt much better on wifi.

Still 2.5 hours of sot on data is a little too bad.

Whatdo you guys think of the attached screenshots?

Edit - my display mode is adaptive display at around 35% brightness.

I did not use the phone from 4 pm onwards and data was turned off ,the battery continuously drained and the phone switched off around 6-7 pm
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
That might be a deffective phone. Try hard resetting it and debloat it then install apps one by one to see which one might be the culprit for the bad battery life.
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
Just to show u what my usage times are on 50% brightness and wifi..just browsing the web and reading news and stuff...
[Galaxy Note5 General] ViperCDX:
What is hard reset??

For debloat i will have to root it but it will voidthe warranty thats why i am not doing it

And i did install only whatsapp and no other apps for 2 days after factory reset and my sot was around 3 hours

But thats not how the phone is supposed to be used.
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
Factory reset = hard reset...and again ypur mileage will vary according to the way you use the phone. I couldn t be happier with mine...but i can t wait for the note 6 which is said to have a 4000mah battery that maybe will satisfy more people. Cheers.

Ps - you don t have to root for debloating, there is an app called package disabler from samsung that you can use. Search xda for what and how to use it. Here s a link to the app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kunkunsoft.packagedisabler
[Galaxy Note5 General] ViperCDX:
hye thanks for your gsam sshot

how is your wifi 0%?? it is active for over an hour
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
Learn to read gsam then ask questions. I think it s pretty clear...
[Galaxy Note5 General] ViperCDX:
may be its clear to you but not me

this is the first time i am using gsam

i even started a thread asking people about helping me in understanding gsam but no one replied

so if u could leave your ego and attitude aside for a moment could u explain or link me to a guide?

In comparison to your sshot here is mine

Please have a look

Bluetooth location nfc etc off

Brightness 35%

Frustated:confused::(
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
Well i dunno...i just installed stock marshmallow, debloated it, installed skyhigh 3.0 kernel, xposed (for restoration of lollipop ticker, ad blocker and full immersive mode to run fullscreen apps) and i usually use facebook, messenger, whatsapp, youtube, chrome, xda premium app and olx (it s a kind of craigslist or ebay app). I m from romania and i my phone can t even connect to lte only 4g (hspa+) so i guess maybe that has something to do with things or how much my battery lasts...but here s another screenshot after using the phone some more.

---------- Post added at 11:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------

As you can see gsam is reporting an average of 64% battery used by apps...30% battery used by the screen...1% by the couple of phonecalls i got and 4% the phone radio (because i don t have perfect receptiom and full bars all the time). Hope this helps.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ohhdayumm:
Dude your phone is barely being held awake. Luck you. My phone is being hled awake by god knows what. Lol i do have a idea which us android sytem and os keeping ohone awake and using a lot of cpu times. Do you have this same issue?
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
Never had it, sorry...if i would have it i would factory reset until it wouldn t happen again.
[Galaxy Note5 General] ViperCDX:
You have an excellent battery life !

I will go to a samsung service center and if it doesnt help i will follow your steps

Thanks
[Galaxy Note5 General] ViperCDX:
Can some one else please post their gsam stats!?

It would really help me

Thanks
[Galaxy Note5 General] Azzarro-:
Im thinking if my idle is bad i get 2% off every 7 hours.
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
That s very good. I get 3% every 12hrs standby drain. So 2%=7hrs is perfect. Usually anything under 0.3%/hour is perfect.
[Galaxy Note5 General] carlitobahsoun:
what rom and kernel and what u feeze or debloat plz???
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
Stock mm rom, skyhigh kernel and i only froze the following services

[Galaxy Note5 General] ViperCDX:
Post a screenshot near 1% or as low as possible
[Galaxy Note5 General] cricketgirl90:
This was as close to 0 as I cud get before I went to bed.
[Galaxy Note5 General] ViperCDX:
Your battery is not that bad

Almost 3hr of sot with a quarter of battery left

Did u recently buy the phone or have updated to mm recently?
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
I have to agree. Still if anybody is seeing problems with their battery life AND ARE ROOTED you could try the media scanner killer app from play store...usually media scanner is what causes the battery drain when you see android os using a lot of battery. Skyhigh kernel has a built in feature to disable media scanner and you get amazing battery life with it guaranteed...but it s only for rooted users
[Galaxy Note5 General] cricketgirl90:
M not rooted. Updated to MM couple of months ago.. Got 4.5 SOT over 14 to 16 hrs... For past couple of weeks battery life has gone down.. Dunno what's the reason :/
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
Maybe deffective battery...some app in,the background...unless you root you won t be able to troubleshoot fully...only option is to go back to stock mm or lp and see how the phone works. Good luck
[Galaxy Note5 General] ram4ufriends:
Mind sharing the link for media scanner killer app? I dont find in playstore

Guys one question: if i undervolt -50 mv everything will the battery longer?
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
Not by much. It s the same as if you would underclock by 200-300mhz...insignifficant really. 100mv or more will give an extra 30mins of general battery life.
[Galaxy Note5 General] soulless angel:
Is this supposed to be like this , i mean the Android OS and Android kernel battery usage.

Screen on time is pretty good but this with OS and kernel i dont get
[Galaxy Note5 General] ViperCDX:
That is normal

You are getting excellent battery life

Are you rooted?
[Galaxy Note5 General] soulless angel:
Nope , just got MM update. Did clean update with ODIN with factory reset.

Using my T-mobile Note 5.
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
I agree, perfectly normal for stock mm.
[Galaxy Note5 General] LiL_Assassin:
I have to admit when I first got MM something we wrong with my battery and I blamed those two. I was obsessed getting them down. But couldn't.. but after ignoring those and just looking at battery life in general. It was just as good as LP and those still show very high
[Galaxy Note5 General] sherif2015:
Can i go back to 5.1.1. Not rooted. Stock.?
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
Of course you can. Just flash in odin stock lp for your phone.
[Galaxy Note5 General] ViperCDX:
After the problem i was having with the battery life i sent it back to samsung service center .They took the phone for 1 day and returned it back to me saying they updated a "battery patch" supposed to improve battery life

Ofc they didnt provide any documents

No improvement since then,i am guessing all they did was a factory reset
[Galaxy Note5 General] cavags5:
I don't know how it works in your country but in mine i have 30days to test the phone and see if everything is ok, if not they have to change it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] ViperCDX:
did they give u any document as proof that they had indeed serviced your phone?

i dont know exactly,last i heard it was probably if i have to send the phone to the service center for 3 times for the same problem they will change it

i dont want to change the phone as i have applied a screen protector in it
