I used Note 5 SM-N920C, 1 month ago i rooted my phone but the root is not so good. It shows many ad of different bla bla so unroot my phone & give new firmware through smart switch. After that i observed that my battery is draining idlely. I charge my phone twice a day. Wheather i used or not my battery is draining idlely. In ultra power saving mode it also draining. I notice that my Android OS take huge charge then i again rooted my phone again through CF AUTO ROOT by odin & give Note 7 custom rom. Now i see that my phone give good performance of battery, it doesn't draining anymore now it shows 18hr of my use.

So i can give you advice to root the phone & give custom rom.

Thankyou.:D

Hard reset does good thing to 365 days old Note5.

The benefits of hard reset the 1 year old Note5 (Model number N9208). Usage pattern:

1) Bluetooth, WiFi and GPS always on.

2) 10 emails syncing every 4 hours.

3) No root, no Package Disabler Pro, all fresh hard reset stock ROM.
[Galaxy Note5 General] RazorMC:
You may have had wakelocks which were eating away at your battery.

What I do now is just debloat and use Naptime to enable Doze immediately after screen off. This saves a lot of power and maintaining battery life.
[Galaxy Note5 General] angelfacekiller:
Dude it doesn't work for all. I did every hard reset possible and Android OS alone was draining 10% per hour...

Only with custom kernel from Sickness i got rid of it...

---------- Post added at 07:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 AM ----------

Do i have to be Root for Naptime to function properly? Can you share your battery usage screenshot?
[Galaxy Note5 General] RazorMC:
Naptime does require root.

I'll post a screenshot once it fills up with data, I just charged it so there are no stats as of now.

So is the majority of this issue because ot 5.1.1? or is it worth upgrading to MM. I like my native apn hotspot hack but with MM its unable to edit APN settings. Is there another way?

You can use your stock rom with custom kernel only. It solves all problems without screwing the phone. I use Sickness kernel for N9208 and it works flawlessly.

---------- Post added at 08:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 PM ----------

One small problem. Just by rooting i lose NFC... Since TWRP is needed I prefer custom kernel. Though I would prefer just to install an application and solve deep sleep rather tampering with kernel. For some reason the Duos Note 5s lose the NFC the minute you go Custom software..
[Galaxy Note5 General] RazorMC:
Naptime forces Marshmallow's own doze without relying on Sammy's pre-requisite for stock/official status.

I also don't prefer installing kernels now due to stability I get from stock.

Nope... dude your battery is ok. The minute you will install Dr. Ketans deep sleep fix or any custom kernel, your battery will go to 1,5 day long. I have done so many trials with 5.1.1 cache, factory and anything just bricking my phone that i think Samsung will start charging me for SmartSwitch overusage :)

This is sad. My buddy has the Axon 7 and his results is way better. Unrooted using Tmobile sim card. Streams music and BT all day.

Hi. Which kernel can i flash and how do i do it?

I cant have root on my phone. Banking apps doesnt like it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] angelfacekiller:
Flash Sickness kernel with TWRP and then after you fix wifi password with build.prop editor do a full unroot from supersu menu. I have the same config with banking apps like you and they are ok when you unroot
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabiocpinto:
Good afternoon folks.

I know this isn't the best place to put my question, but I didn't know where to do it.

My mom scratched my Note 4 screen by putting it in her purse, alongside all her feminine stuff.

I have an original flip case, but it opened when she putted the phone on her purse.

I need to know if there is any way to remove those scratches, only one is a little deep, but all the others are superficial.

I need help, because I've searched all over internet and all I've found is to use toothpaste and a wet kleenex to wipe it off.

Thank you all.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zakkkkk:
+1 i have same problem as op but my scratches are extremely light
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marc_ecko28:
Toothpaste trick only work for minimal scrathes.

Try to put tempered glass, it cant solve your problem but it will hide few scratches.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saudmsn:
There is a paste for glass polishing, product with little sponge, the one that used for car glasses I guess will remove all scratches.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nsidd:
You have me curious regarding this polish. Ive always thought that superficial scratches on smartphone screens only go as deep as the oleophobic coating. Arent scratches like miniature valleys that can be filled with some sort of film or lets just say a bottle of olephobic coating? Can we have an in depth thread about scratches?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r33fd:
I had a similar problem . The screen of my note 4 scratched just by wearing it in my jeans pocket in the first week after purchase

I went to the nearest Samsung service and they replace the scratched screen for free :) . The replacing process took only an hour . This has made me a samsung fan .

So what I'm saying is go to samsung and see what they say . You may have a pleasant surprise
[Galaxy Note5 General] svetius:
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Note5 before depleting the battery.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
[Galaxy Note5 General] svetius:
I usually get around 3.5-4 hours of screen on time before the phone needs a power-up.
[Galaxy Note5 General] leo9891:
So today is one of my heavy usage days. This is how it goes pretty much. Wake up around 6 am get, get on my phone, check notifications, hop on a few social games, get on social media, watch videos from social media, check my favorite website, get on some games, check some more websites, battery gets a little low so I charge up, and while it's charging I get my day started.

That's heavy usage for me and thats what I did all day today so far. Here's some screenshots just prior to me writing this post, tell me what you think.

Now some might think it's bad, but I've been on my phone pretty much non stop.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Chord_Hugo87:
i'm getting 30-40 min more than the S6 edge ussually 4 hours screen on time, auto brightness, mobile data, wifi, 3 gmail sync, Facebook and messenger...I probably wouldn't get this phone if it wasn't for the quick charge ability.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
I am very happy with battery life. I don't game and I don't watch tons of YouTube and I'm connected to a WiFi network most of the day. But this is the best in terms of battery life of any phone i have ever had, including the one plus one. Typically get 8 to 10 hours screen on time but I've gotten as high as 12 before. Auto brightness, location disabled most of the time. Stock, 200+ apps disabled with package disabler pro.
[Galaxy Note5 General] tryfound:
Averaging 5-7 hours on a busy day, everything is turned on except for a few bloat apps which are disabled.
[Galaxy Note5 General] bruciebabie1963:
I dont understand how you use you phone for 12 hours in a day..Do you have a job? I will get up at 7am and talk maybe for an hour on my phone and have 3 hrs max screen on time before I end my day at 10 pm with 45% battery left..more or less.
[Galaxy Note5 General] ptflyer:
I'm seeing about 7 hours SOT. Auto brightness, nothing disabled, syncs on.
[Galaxy Note5 General] yuannovesa:
Its impossible for 12h SOT.. can you share some screenshoot for sot 12h without charging from 100% until 1%.. i dont belive if no screen shoot..
[Galaxy Note5 General] YRAJ23:
My device is on battery for 4 hours 37 minutes 51 seconds since last charge.

SOT is 58 minutes 36 seconds.

My battery percentage is 74%.

Is this normal or bad ??

I purchased my phone for yesterday and charged it till full. I never charge for continuous 8 hours.

Is this normal or bad ? Shall i charge it for 8 hours ?
[Galaxy Note5 General] schwartzki:
Typical days my battery only lasts about 12-13hours before its sub 10%. Some days it's better but typical office days are rather poor battery life from past android and iOS devices with similar use. Attached are my thumbnails. As you can see I am only getting 2 hours of screen on time. It def appears I have an issue with my Moto 360 using excessive battery and I am not sure why as most things are disabled on the watch and the watch battery is usually north of 75% when I goto bed.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Cycloneon:
Ever since I reset my phone back to factory resettings (rooting caused my phone to slow down), i've been experiencing some great battery life and smoothness(obviously)

6 hours SOT with 7% left. 1 day and 6+ hours of regular usage, nothing too heavy.
[Galaxy Note5 General] bendotson:
YRAJ23- Thats perfectly normal. It should come out to around 4 hours of SoT. You can charge the phone for 8 or more hours because it knows when to stop charging. You cannot overcharge any modern smartphone.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Fullmetal Jun:
U should get at least 5hrs sot unless playing games and watching YouTube! Disable Samsung and Google bloats like Google+ and use Greenify app from Oasis Feng on play store to hibernate most of your downloaded apps which cause battery drain. Put your brightness in the 40-60% and if possible ideally in the 25% range indoors!
[Galaxy Note5 General] force70:
Ive been debating picking up a note 5 now that is avail in Canada in 64gb and silver but reading through this has me reconsidering.

I get better battery life from both my current devices and without being able to swap batteries 4 to 5hrs SOT is not ideal given my lifestyle/ work schedule

Fairly normal 2.5-3.5 hours on weekdays, bc school WiFi drains battery like ****. On weekends typically average 3.5 on 3G/LTE because reception where I live isn't exactly top notch. At home however, 5-6 hours is pretty much the norm, bc my home WiFi rocks.
[Galaxy Note5 General] krypticos:
I normally get 15-16 hours on battery with 4-5 hours of screen on time. i did a video playing a game and timing it. if you want to check it out here from the video you'll see depending on your settings i could get between 4-6 hours of onscreen time with goat sim running.
[Galaxy Note5 General] DaRkL3AD3R:
Exact same here, yet I see these people with 6, 7 even 8 hours of screen time on one charge. How? Are they sitting there with WiFi and the cell radio turned off, just watching clips and doing offline stuff? I just don't understand how they can manage to pull that many hours out of the battery. I struggle to break past 4 hours. But 8? Freaking double? I'm not buying it.

Guys I need your help, any idea why the battery is draining so fast ? It goes from 100% to 0% in less than 4 hours and SOT is less under 2.5 hours. Also when I go to sleep and I left the phone it drains the battery, do you guys know how could I solve it ? I have factory reset the phone 2 times and the problem is still happening

I've had this phone for a year. I'm a flashaholic so I definitely have taken a small toll off the battery. Never the less I'm running the TEKHD ROM with Arter's kernel v22.0 EOL and Xposed with about 7 mods installed and activated. The image on the right is the first test I did since March 1st. I used it quite a bit throughout the day and I ended up with the image on the right. I also wanted to test the doze and cell standby and so far everything looks good. I then performed another test 3 days later and ended up with the image on the left. Still a solid battery.

Open phone and set up and then install many apps and updates at 11:00pm yesterday.

Sync and many features are turned on untill my charge %65. and then I slept. Morning I have got %63 charge and I went to work.

I know this program in my old note2 cause a lot of alarms. So I limited alarm time in amplify

[Galaxy Note5 General] Venom0642:
Look at my battery life scroll up it's definitely more improved then the Note 4 , also make sure you disable bloatware in settings all applications, let it drain around 3 to 4 % then turn phone off and charge it off after that repeat the same thing will take a few days more so battery life will get better.

What in the world, seeing all of these long SOT's of 8+ hours is simply depressing!

I'm sitting at significantly less than that with under 4 hours of screen time. I would like my phone to be at 40% by the end of my work day, however it is typically at 20% when I leave work at 6/7pm. Do you guys have push email syncing? Exchange servers going? Or are you limiting syncing to every few minutes? Do you have many additional apps? I saw one guy with even Facebook running and he still got 8+ hours.

What about launchers are those of you with 8+ hours using the stock laucher? I use textra with notification tickers enabled and I think that is also draining my battery. I'd rather not reset my phone and start from scratch, but I really want 8+ hours screen time.
