[Galaxy Note5 General] Ohhdayumm:
Can any help me with my battery stats. I was using wifi the whole days my school has free internet. Sync on and 30% bright ness auto and no powersaving. My android system seeems to be using alot of my cpu any sugestions on how to fix this? I charge the phone at night to 100 and unplugged and left it till this morning with airplane on and still at 100% then when i started using the phone drains alot
[Galaxy Note5 General] maheshwar:
Try using your phone in safe mode

power off

press power button, when the samsung logo shows up press and hold the vol down button.

use it for a whole day in safe mode,

if there is an improvement, there might be a 3rd party app that you might have installed that is draining battery.
[Galaxy Note5 General] adeelraj:
cell stanby is also using a lot of battery maybe ur signal reception is too weak

for android system battery drain

try to disable svoice and hangouts with titanium backup and also turn of nfc

it saved my note 5
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ohhdayumm:
The thing I'm not rooted and I just got the note 5 so I feel like using it stock until I feel like rooting it :). Should invest in this app called package disabler pro for Samsung devices?

---------- Post added at 10:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------

I will try that tomorrow
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ohhdayumm:
Ok so here are the results from today. It seems a lot better but android os seems to be still using my cpu a lot is that normal?
[Galaxy Note5 General] :
what karnel do you use ? firmware ? custom rom ? MM or KK ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Muhammed.920c:
Hey guys :)

N920c official 6.0.1 .. package disabler only.

Power user with facebook, youtube, whatsapp. Sync and locations always off(most important) .. No online games on this cycle .. my standard SOT between 5:30 - 6:20 hrz

Note 5 is THE beast !!!
[Galaxy Note5 General] scorpionking674:
how did you get 1d battery life? are you using extended battery?
[Galaxy Note5 General] a2kay:
What you disablet with package disabler and how are your settings? display brightness auto? which %? thanks
[Galaxy Note5 General] Muhammed.920c:
Hehe sure no extended battery. Srsly guys Im wondering why alot of ppl are not getting much out of Note5's battery!

It's been great for me for about 7 months now .. and even better after 6.0.1 update.

I leave the brightness on about 10-20% manually .. go auto-brightness only when outdoors.

No 4g nor 3g .. just wifi all day with about 15 minutes of mobile data when outdoors.

Locations always off.. and sync always off.

Always trying to take good care of my battery .. always charge to 100% b4 taking off the charger.

And most importantly ........ USE THE APP POWER SAVING feature .. make it (always save) for ALL APPS ..exept for package disabler.

Disabled packages xml is attached.

Hope things work out for 4 guys :)
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
Why? Because everybody uses their phone differently...has different phone signal depending where they live or what their service provider is...etc,etc...
[Galaxy Note5 General] Muhammed.920c:
Sure thing. That's why im stating how I use my phone :) everything indeed is relative.
[Galaxy Note5 General] leo9891:
Just the stock firmware. Didn't have root at the time I wrote this post.
[Galaxy Note5 General] a2kay:
So here are my results. I use autobrightness at 20% and i'm most outdoor.

What think? Good or not ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
Decent...not anything wow :))
[Galaxy Note5 General] a2kay:
Any Tips for for longer sot?
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
Skyhigh kernel + ktoonservative governor. Works wonders ;)

Still on lollipop darthstalker v5, skyhigh 4.5..xposed, this was only on Wifi till now...auto brightness...debloated and everything...greenified...
[Galaxy Note5 General] Muhammed.920c:
Since im on a cycle close to ur battery percentage thought Id share :)

6.0.1 .. fully stock .. debloated .. manual brightness at 15% .. wifi 80% cell data 20%
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
Awesome! Glad to see the same result from marshmallow...i had fears it s gonna be even worse at battery than lollipop seeing as it s still in its infancy on the note 5..
[Galaxy Note5 General] shapk:
The best battery life i ever had on Note 5. Decent Rom M3 + Stock Kernel. No Xposed, no Greenify, first charging cycle.
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
+ greenify, skyhigh 4.5 and so on...i get almost 4 hrs with medium use on wifi by the time i hit 60% but your time is decent too. Best way to improve batt life on amoled phones is to go all black.
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
Ca sa intelegi mai bine :))

So you can understand better... I still think rooting and modding is the only way to fully take advantage of samsung/android phones in general.
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
Update...
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:

[Galaxy Note5 General] shapk:
Ca sa inteleg :D

Kernel? Rom?

I have Decent Rom + rooted Stock kernel

It s decent...

You're on Lollipop?
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
I got note 5 n920t... So yeah. No stable marshmallow out for us yet...
[Galaxy Note5 General] shapk:
I have n920c and android 6.0.1. Anyway, battery life is not so important to me. I have a Mophie extendend battery case (2500 mAh) that gives me 60% extra battery.
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
I like my nice thin phone :)) i have an extended battery case as well...but rarely use it..makes the phone fat like a pig.
[Galaxy Note5 General] shapk:
Is not so fat using 2500 mAH battery. :D It's ok..
[Galaxy Note5 General] Dayzee:
Very pleasantly surprised by my Marshmallow update. I'm on 6.0.1 stock without root. I took a while to decide to upgrade as wasn't sure if I wanted to root. Decided all the reasons I used to have for rooting are not really pressing on this handset, so I thought I may as well go for it.

My handset is an N920C in Pink Attached some screen shots .

Currently at 20% battery left after 1d 6h 36m on battery and 6h 11m screen on time!!

Looks like a winner....
[Galaxy Note5 General] a2kay:
What are you setting?
[Galaxy Note5 General] Dayzee:
Not sure what you mean? I haven't got any power saving apps on this handset, do not disturb on over night 11 to 7 other than that, it's just whatever the marshmallow does by itself I think.
[Galaxy Note5 General] hungragezone:
look at the 1st screenshot, she almost didn't use anything, only turn the screen on :D

With me, Note 5 can only last about 3h30m screen-on 3G, with about 1h screen-on for some games, other for facebook, call, messeage, chrome

My last Xperia Z2 can last about 5h or more in lolipop, It seems bad when i change to note 5 :(
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
Longest battery life so far. Tekxodius rom and skyhigh 4.5 uv ed and uc ed to 1ghz both a53/a57. Performance is still perfect for daily use and battery life is as far as i m concerned a lot better than with only power saving activated.View attachment 3706210View attachment 3706212View attachment 3706213
[Galaxy Note5 General] SpongeBoy:
Sup' guys,

This is my SOT. My cell is rooted and I installed Xposed. No rom custom.

I think that my battery life is a little bit bad. [Android 6.0.1]
[Galaxy Note5 General] golfinggino:
I was waiting until I received the mm update before rooting. last night I rooted and installed jovy23 stock mm rom with skyhigh kernel and my battery is almost double then stock - I haven't had this good battery since I sold my nexus 6p months ago. I was getting around a bit over 3 hours sot on my note 5 ( Bluetooth on connected to my gear s, location on, half lte and half wifi ) - I would have to plug it in to my car charger on my way home from work or it wouldn't get through the day.

now at 3 sot and still have over 50% battery left - if it wasn't for touchwiz I would have thought I had my nexus 6p again lol
[Galaxy Note5 General] loogielv:
so I guess 7 hours SoT is OK?

:D
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ohhdayumm:
Jeezzz that's pretty amazing! Did you do anything to achieve those stats?
[Galaxy Note5 General] dokibull:
my new record

wifi: on

brightness: 50% auto

mobile data: only when no wifi

stock, no root. couple apps disabled
[Galaxy Note5 General] loogielv:
sorry i totally forgot to check the forums this week.d

nope. not one thing special...in fact that's with stock every thing.

here's what i did. i was running tekhd rom and skyhigh kernel with all sorts of file and directory screw ups. i accidentally deleted mountpoints and symlinks so it was all jacked up.

i used the sidesync software Instead of odin. i. completely unrooted and did a backup with twrp, then a backup within sidesync. i factory reset, rebooted then finally updated via sidesync.

it is so snappy with so much battery life i have yet to root it again.

i will say it's definitely not as good with sot time lately. it seems i had better life before the 3 days kicked in for battery optimization...it could be time for a cache wipe too though....definitely worth researching
[Galaxy Note5 General] soulless angel:
I got pretty good on screen stats but this usage of android OS makes me thinks something is wrong.

Is this okay ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] MrMike2182:
I could not stand my battery life draining on MM 6 so I downgraded back to Lollipop 5 and have awesome battery life again! Even my fast wireless charger is working much better and charging way faster than it did on MM!
[Galaxy Note5 General] InteliDroid:
Don't you get standby battery drain due to no deep sleep? Cause apparently once you trip Knox/root this disables deep sleep and drains the battery fast.
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
Where on earth did you see this info?? I m rooted and knox tripped since day 1 on my note 5 and it s getting better than average non-rooted battery life...deep sleep is a dream also...
[Galaxy Note5 General] InteliDroid:
It occurs to many note 5 users. I'm unsure as to whether mine would be affected cause I have one manufactured later and not on the release.

So you aren't rooted at the moment right?
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
I am. I m on stock mm from tmobile, fully rooted, xposed, skyhigh kernel 3.2 ...everything working like a charm. I m very active on forums and have never heard such a thing that rooting won t allow your phone to deep sleep...that s just misinformation in my oppinion. Saying that as a general thing is just wrong, it may happen if you don t know what you re doing when rooting but it s certainly not a general thing.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Siku Bihari:
XDA Developers Android

Micromax canvas a1 battery problem will be solved in many tricks...

1) Turn off location and its scanning service such as wifi or bluetooth.

2) Download battery calibaration app and hit calibrate.it will make your battery at a constant temprature 35℃. Don't put your mobile in a cool palce like Air Conditioning or Wet place..it will harm your battery life and make it self discharge...

3) Turn off printing service and it will make your battery good...
[Galaxy Note5 General] InteliDroid:
Oh I see. The fact is you ARE rooted where there is a deep sleep patch when rooting the device with supersu.

I was wondering if you were experiencing any deep sleep issues before rooting. Like long enough of course. Like 1'week usage without root and everything was fine for example.
[Galaxy Note5 General] MrMike2182:
The deep sleep issue is not just misinformation why don't you search the thread and you'll see a patch was created just to fix the deep sleep issue! Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it don't exist!
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
Ok my bad, sorry if i offended anyone, i guess i never saw this problem on my device and neither in any othe forum (battery related or not) that i visited enough to see it s a general problem for people.
[Galaxy Note5 General] MrMike2182:
I'm not offended and didn't mean for it to come off that way it's just that there really is a deep sleep issue after tripping Knox that does drain the battery really bad but there is a patch available now to fix it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Hoggles:
I'm getting fantastic SOT. MM update on T-Mobile. I switched from a S7edge last week and was a little worried about batt life for the Note. Those worries were soon put to rest.

I've had it on a lot today. Streamed the Russian Grand Prix to my Chromecast/TV for 2.5 hours (had screen brightness at the lowest setting). Bunch of other vids, texts, one call, yada yada. I'm not rooted, but have all the bloatware disabled. Screen brightness is manual at about 30-40% most times.

Right now I'm at 7 hours SOT with 12% left. It could easily go another hour of SOT if careful. I also tested night time drain a few nights back. For the 7.5 hours I slept...it lost 2%. Nice!
[Galaxy Note5 General] b4u2:
Verizon stock rom basically no mods

12%

8h 21m 47s on battery

SOT 3h 51m 15s

I keep the screen brightness turned way low.

I wish I had tracked the time before the Marshmallow updates but my battery drains much faster than it used to. My usage has not changed and now I have to charge around lunch when I usually could make it home before I needed to use charger.

Screen 52%

Android OS 16%

Android system 9%

Cell standby 9%

Google Play Services 6%

Netflix 3%

Phone idle 2%

Not sure where the issue is...
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
Those are normal times for data connection on usage, no or little wifi...
[Galaxy Note5 General] b4u2:

[Galaxy Note5 General] loogielv:
No that was with root, the deep sleep bug was apparent. I unrooted then installed straight stock. I must not have wiped properly either because I had remnants of the custom rom that I had before, and I still had the best battery life I've ever had.

Down side is now I've rerooted, custom kernel, and rom and is the worst battery life I've had on the n920t. However I'm sure I didn't wipe properly again

---------- Post added at 02:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 AM ----------

It was fixed in mm
[Galaxy Note5 General] Lucas Eugene:
I always use 4G/LTE even when I'm at home. My phone easily lasted a day with around 5hr and 45min of SOT. Did web surfing, texts and used Bluetooth speakers for like an hour or so. This phone has an execptional performance for a daily driver. I've been using the iPhone since forever but it really beats them all. Love the MM update :D
[Galaxy Note5 General] loogielv:
I let the phone keep wifi on and continuously scan. It uses way less power than switching between lte, 4g, 3g back to lte etc, which is what the phone does at everyone's house...I'm convinced there's a conspiracy by the cell companies to deliver terrible signal inside the consumers house...

Think about it...you know at least 3 people who have a dead spot about a half mile around their house....
[Galaxy Note5 General] Azzarro-:
My n9208 went from 3:30 SOT In lollipop to 5hours SOT in MM update with wifi on all the time and 50% brightness.

Note 5 drains

i am getting severe drain with my note 5 will full charge 100% in 8 hours i am at 60% how do i fix this? Someone plz help?
[Galaxy Note5 General] hoainamvtvn:
you should try to turn off your phone, then press power+volume+ + home and wipe cache then reboot your phone. let see what happen
[Galaxy Note5 General] JCap334:
I don't know how you guys are getting screentimes of 5 - 7 hours. After my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 5 was updated to 6.0.1, I did a factory reset and reinstalled all my apps. I use power saving for nearly all of my apps, and have also tried Greenify which doesn't make much of a difference. If I don't use my phone too much, Cell Standby tops screen time. I've tried every tip I can think of on the internet to reduce Cell Standby drain and I am at my wit's end. I can't wait until the next Nexus comes out. So done with Samsung!

As you can see on my screenshot, I am at 51% battery with a little over 1 hour of screen time and less than a day since unplugged. This is pathetic!
[Galaxy Note5 General] MrMike2182:
Did you root the phone before? Because it looks like you have that deep sleep issue but they have a fix for that.. Is your Knox fuse tripped?
[Galaxy Note5 General] JCap334:
Nope not rooted. Battery drain is roughly 1% per hour when idle, so I guess that isn't too bad. It's just that during usage, the battery drains so fast I can watch a percent go down like every few mins. I have auto screen brightness set to the middle.
[Galaxy Note5 General] MrMike2182:
1 way that I managed to fix the battery problem was to first factory reset so there's absolutely nothing on the phone and then update from Lollipop to MM 6.. But I personally downgraded back to Lollipop on Verizon because of to much battery drain.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ohhdayumm:
Its weird how there are so many people having battery issues on mm and Lp. On Lp my max sot was 6hrs and now on mm my max was 6:30 hrs which is better. I did factory reset after update and reinstalled my original apps. Nothing disabled.

My battery life has been pretty good honestly. Maybe try wiping cache ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] JCap334:
I've done everything. Wiped cache in recovery multiple times, I did a factory reset right after I did the Marshmallow upgrade. Do you think I should just re-enable all the apps I disabled? Possible disabled apps cause strange issues? Do you use greenify?
[Galaxy Note5 General] b4u2:
I am currently wiping cache and doing a factory reset to see if this will fix mine. On Stock rom with Verizon how can I revert back if this doesn't fix my issue?
[Galaxy Note5 General] MrMike2182:
If you follow the instructions i gave in this post you'll be OK.

My SM-N920A averages 2 hours of SoT. It generally dies by 5:00 (and my phone is off from 8:30 until 2:50 every day).
[Galaxy Note5 General] aldoblaga:
It all depends on how u use the phone, apps, cell reception strength, screen brightness, services running in the background...etc. for example because of poor cell reception same thing can happen to me and i ll get a max batt life of 7 hrs and sot of 2hrs 30 mins....while at the same time if i m on wifi or a strong cell signal my sot will be at least 6-7 hrs and general batt life over 24hrs. Hope this clears up things for you and maybe others. Cheers
[Galaxy Note5 General] David_D36:
Screen is the highest drainer on my note 5 by far...but right before it's about to die, screen has only used 800/3000 MAH, this doesn't make any sense to me. Could everything else be using that much battery (2200 MAH)?

I'm on Verizon and last I knew I couldn't root on those service so how do I disable something? Like what's mentioned in the above post?
[Galaxy Note5 General] MrMike2182:
You can download package disabler and use that to basically "freeze" the apps. You're just not able to uninstall them without root.
[Galaxy Note5 General] SOU55:
I feel that marshmallow drains a little bit more battery life but standby use is better than lollipop
[Galaxy Note5 General] tw1n5nak35:
To be honest, I love evetyhing about this phone except for sreen on time. Let's face reality, if you use this phone alot, the screen on time will be low. Thats just the facts and hard trut. Even just browsing on your phone, xda app, ebay, facebook social media battery is going to drain. This isn't just the problem of this note 5, but I had the same issues with the note 3, my moms iphone 6s plus and my ex girlfriends iphone 6s. And this is the problem across the board with all phones. The screen on time, battery peformance and operating system algorithm has to be more efficient but we're no where near that. Maybe samsung and the big phone manufacturers can work on that. intead of just adding more pixels to camera, or edge screens. How about fixing an isssue that we all need to be better output from.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Peuf:
hey guys, I'd like to know how many percent of battery usage does your screen drain ? mine is about 70 to 80%, or more even after a reboot. does anyone know what's wrong with my note 5?
[Galaxy Note5 General] b4u2:
I tried going back to Lollipop but it did not help with my SOT. Must be my phone or something I am doing I guess. I went back to MM and did factory reset before and after. I did rest twice after update but I still have some odd issues. My phone shuts off at 15% and I have no battery save options enabled. I may have to factory reset again? It's annoying to have to do this so many times.

i dont use 4g at-all cuz i know i dont need that much of speed and im usually using wifi

i dont use any case.....so the phone could cool down much easier
[Galaxy Note5 General] tw1n5nak35:
This is a weird anomaly that's happening to your phone. I hit 10% last night before I put my phone on the charger. Just watching a stream on twitch and got the warning to connect a charger. So at 15% you should get a warning to connect charger, but your phone just dies without any power save options on? That is very odd. Which firmware version were you on for marshmallow and when you went back to lolipop?
