I went back to Lollipop for this exact reason and haven't gone back to MM.. I kind of need it on Lollipop right now anyway because I'm trying to get a kernel working with the Verizon variant so I can get root access enabled but I am running into a lot of issues to say the least lol.
[Galaxy Note5 General] ars0n:
Leave yo wifi off peeps.

Havent finished testing yet lol, but, would be surprised if I got a full 3 days.
[Galaxy Note5 General] MrMike2182:
LOL bro if I kept my wifi off Verizon would rip me a new rear in overage fees.
[Galaxy Note5 General] ars0n:
I just updated to that 12 gb plan for 20 bucks more a month, it was def worth it. But yeah, I dont mean dont use wifi at all, but, I would just use it when you need it. If your signal sucks and you always have to use it, yeah, you probably wont ever get more than a day or a day/half of use.
[Galaxy Note5 General] MrMike2182:
My home and office wifi speeds are a lot higher than Verizons speeds I pay for 120M and the speedtest.com site says 114.79Mbps down and 89.62Mbps up but my server has priority over any speed so if it needs it all my Internet on the phone slows to a crawl lol.. Verizons speeds were 24.16Mbps down and 13Mbps up so I prefer the home wifi lol.

Do you all happen of this when slp ? Full charge when slep after 6 hour sleep

Wake just left 60% wtf how to solve?
[Galaxy Note5 General] David_D36:
Even with my phone in doze, the standby battery drain is awful. It definitely has to do with radios but nothing helps it other than turning airplane mode on. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix it...at least a little bit?
[Galaxy Note5 General] MrMike2182:
If you are on MM 6 there's not much you can do. I went back to Lollipop for a reason.
[Galaxy Note5 General] David_D36:
Is there any way I can go back with the verizon note 5?
[Galaxy Note5 General] MrMike2182:
Yes if you follow the instructions I posted here.

By the way I'm using the N920VVRU2AOJ3 version as it has better battery life.

For all those who didn't find a solution to fix there Battery Drain issue on Note 5 Due to ANDRIOD OS,

Follow My POST, Link Below

and surely you will get a solution.
[Galaxy Note5 General] MrMike2182:
That's of zero help to people on Verizon and AT&T and people who do not want to root their phone.
[Galaxy Note5 General] ahsanjamal:
I think Rooting will be far more better option than Losing Battery IDLE...:highfive:
[Galaxy Note5 General] MrMike2182:
That's fine and you're entitled to think that and that's your opinion but not everyone wants to root their device and lose their warranty if something was to ever go wrong and the phone has been rooted and knox tripped that person is out of luck and their 700 dollar phone is nothing more than a paper weight! Besides, you were linking to an off site Web address when xda has plenty of threads on how to root those same exact devices you mentioned! Rooting will not fix any type of battery drain in fact tripping knox makes it worse which is why there is something called "deep sleep patch" available.
[Galaxy Note5 General] nishanta2006:
Aggressive Doze of Greenify REALLY helps the battery life for me. My phone just loses about 2% in 8 hours of night sleep time. My phone is rooted. I always leave wifi, 4G, GPS and autosync ON all the time, 24x7. Before using Greenify, I was losing 8% in 8 hours of night. Tried all roms and kernel combos. Now all I have done is applied aggressive doze, and whitelisted Gmail , Whatsapp and FB. Thats it. Phone sleeps like a baby at night.
[Galaxy Note5 General] tw1n5nak35:
Ok lets get this out of the way, the battery drain with marshmallow update and AWFUL. Even with the new BATTERY DOZE feature. It was more effiient with lolipop. Even if your connected to a good wifi at home and you phone is fully charged or somewhat good charged before you sleep the battery drain can be anywhere between 20-30 percent. YES. thats correct. Cause I got notificcaitons, messages, texts and emails while I'm sleeping and you know what's sucking the power? The notificatoin LED. Which I could turn off but I'm too lazy.. hahahah. Anyway I can cope with it, because I have my fast wired and fast wireless charger.

Battery Drain

My phone is Galaxy Note 5 (N920C).

after update phone to June security patch Battery De charging quickly.

more battery usage is for google play services and android core apps.

[Galaxy Note5 General] tw1n5nak35:
Correct I agree with you. I've taken the latest update for the verion version, which is BPF4, which was about a couple weeks ago. My battery drain is getting worse and it doesn't help that I'm in 3g area while at work. But It's ok when I'm at home. Plus I have alot of apps open, tabs and stuff running in the background as well. But it's ok. I have wired and wireless fast charger with me. But would be nice, if samsung would have better better battery algorithm with the latest marshmallow updates. :D
[Galaxy Note5 General] TuBBe2:
I just installed stock rom back and debloated it in hopes of getting better battery life. This is the result... Fml. I wonder what custom rom+kernel combo i should try next.

I thought I would share my recent experience. I had noticed that my battery life was terrible. I would have to charge during the day after starting out around 6:30 am with 100%

I found the biggest culprit seemed to be the fact I had NFC enabled. I used my banking app a couple of times to pay for a few items and hadn't turned it off. Once off the battery drain did seem to improve but I found overnight starting at 100% around 10:00pm I would loose around 15% - 17% in 8 hours of idle. I know some report worse but this bugged me. This got me wondering if the deep sleep was working. I have never rooted my phone and it was on the stock MM 6.01 that I got OTA back in April. I was in the process of removing apps to see if I could find the culprit when I got another OTA. I updated then did a factory reset and left the phone "As Is" for a couple of days. All I can say is what a difference. I now loose around 3% in an 8 hour overnight and battery life during the day is way better. I am now adding stuff back to see how it fairs but overall I am happy. The battery and memory usage seems way better on this firmware.

I have been itching to root and will probably do so but first I am going to make a full backup using TWRP before I do anything.

Hope this helps some of you out there who have been struggling. I love this phone and was previously an iPhone guy. I'd never go back lol
[Galaxy Note5 General] sithboi:
I would say clear cache and factory reset to see if that helps you in your situation. It might be that the battery itself is going bad use to charging. I forgot to plus my phone in last night and it was at 20%. This morning about 7.5 hours later it was at 10%. The only thing I hate is that it takes forever to charge up.

[Galaxy Note5 General] jetbruceli:
It seems to affect devices that previously rooted, or tripped knox. Only way to fix so far is to have a custom kernal. I just use BattleHero's stock prerooted rom
[Galaxy Note5 General] baconman4321:
i am not sure whats going on with my note 5. i couldnt wait for rogers and load virgin mobil software. now if i have 40% left and go to bed my battery is dead. will go and root my phone and see what i get. 10% is system and 18% was android OS. i also realize having apps open in the background drains it a lot in stand by, any good rom for battery life? have no s health or facebook on my note. those are the biggest battery killer or?
[Galaxy Note5 General] DaRkL3AD3R:
Something is SERIOUSLY wrong with this phone and I'm starting to think like a conspiracy theorist that it's intentional ruining of the device OTA to get us to upgrade. This is what I'm talking about:

That type of god awful battery life just randomly happened to me a few days ago out of the blue. Nothing changed with my phone. I didn't change locations, I didn't change settings, I didn't update any applications. I even tried rebooting and wiping cache thinking maybe something just needed cleaning up, nope nothing helped.

You know what helped? Putting my phone into Airplane mode and using WiFi:

If I had the time, I could have kept on using my phone and probably EASILY hit 7 or even 8 hours of screen on time no problem. Hell, at the scaling it was going, probably even 10 hours. My question is: what the hell is going on when I'm not on Airplane mode that is causing my battery to get absolutely butchered so hard while it is supposed to be idle? This is NOT normal how fast it is draining when not in Airplane mode, and short of that nothing seems to help.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ohhdayumm:
Do you have verybad signal? Because i have like 1 bar in my basement and notice drain when phone is sleeping over a period of time. Reset the device as last resort.
[Galaxy Note5 General] tw1n5nak35:
Yes, I have seen this issue with this phone. The battery Drains HEAVILY, when in 3G or 1X mode. So I turn off GPS, bring the auto brightness down and turn on normal power save mode and not Ultra power save mode. That way you can still get alerts and notifications.
[Galaxy Note5 General] jetbruceli:
Has anyone figured out how to stop the Battery Drain when reverting to Stock Non Root Official firmware? I have noticed that this huge Android OS stay awake problem only happens when KNOX is tripped and running complete official stock. Once a rooted rom is installed, the drain goes away.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ohhdayumm:
Flash the beta super su it fixes that problem i think or use a custom kernel that has the deep sleep fix
[Galaxy Note5 General] jetbruceli:
What I am trying to do is sell this device or give it to someone who wont need it rooted or whatever, I never had a Samsung device do this if KNOX was tripped before. I know changing the kernal but I want it to be pure stock.
[Galaxy Note5 General] kelok622:
I used to have a really really reall terrible battery life on my note 5 duos even on custom rom. So, I decided to revert back to stock rom with latest firmware. Root it, install custom kernel to fix the deep sleep issue. And then I install xposed module, greenify, amplify, and power nap. Now I get much better battery life than before especially for standby.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Ohhdayumm:
Whats your average sot and idle drain. I currently had the note 5 for a few months and wondering if i should root it after my warranty is over. Can you compare your stock battery life to custom rooted battery life?
[Galaxy Note5 General] angelfacekiller:
Guys, just TWRP and DR. Ketan's fix for N920C_MM is enough. Instead of 50% overnight it went to 8% and 1 1/2 days normal work but you lose NFC the minute you put TWRP and nothing else...

You can always unroot from SmartSwitch. KNOX back to 0x0 without changing the mainboard just forget it...
[Galaxy Note5 General] gmfirebird:
got up yesterday morning at about 6 am and took my phone off the charger. I was out and about all day long til about pm ( a full 12 hours) did not once plug in my phone as it was in my opinion very minimal use ( a couple calls under a minute or two each some fb and google maps net surfing for Hurricane Hermione updates as I have family at the Jersey Shore but mostly in my pocket on Stand by) and when I looked at the battery meter I swore it read 40% left at 6 pm. the phone suddenly shut off and wouldn't reboot. I plugged it in and after 5 minutes or so it finally rebooted with 0% on the meter. It took from 6pm till midnight o the stock wall plug and cable to fully recharge ( it would not go into fast charge). I removed it from the charger and went to bed. At 9am this morning it had dropped to 89%, I plugged it back into the same cable and it went right into fast charge and 7 minutes was at 100%. Should I be concerned of battery issues (this never happened before) or just count it as a 1 time thing? I have elderly parents and a disabled son so I CANNOT be without a phone is case of an emergency.
[Galaxy Note5 General] angelfacekiller:
In your place I would first initialize the phone through SmartSwitch after taking backup of everything with the same application. Smartswich will give you latest official versikn from Samsubg. Then you can have safer indications.
[Galaxy Note5 General] kelok622:
Well the sot varies everyday depending on my usage. What I can tell is I get much better standby time when I use the combination of the 3 apps mentioned as compared to stock non-root rom. Custom kernel, together with Greenify and PowerNap completely eliminates the deep sleep bug that I get when using stock MM rom. Also, when using stock non-root, the best sot i can get is 2.5 hrs. (Not sure how others get >4 hrs sot, maybe the cell reception in my area is just generally horrible) Now, I can easily get 3 hrs sot without problem. Not impressive, but better than before.
[Galaxy Note5 General] leo72793:
So with only roughly only 1h25m screen use today. this is pathetic. google wakelock is WAY overdoing. used to get 5-6 hours screen on time with the exact same setup, and this is pathetic. same battery life but literally no SOT. i even make sure pandora is OFF, location, autosync OFF, BT off, use wifi at home.

I do have package disabler pro and have disabled a few things. mostly bloat and crap i dont use. CELL coverage is fine, no interruptions streaming either even on high quality.
[Galaxy Note5 General] tw1n5nak35:
I know what you mean. I had excellent battery life when I was still on lolipop. Like the bone stock that Baseband build that came with the phone. Oh well, that's why we have fast wireless/wired chargers. But would be nice to get some really long and good on screen time.
[Galaxy Note5 General] leo72793:
im on Lollipop. 5.1.1 and it sucks. i guess ill back up all my stuff and do a Factory reset. maybe a version of an app went rogue.
[Galaxy Note5 General] MrMike2182:
If you are using Package disabler pro and you disabled something that you really shouldn't have or just didn't know what it was for, it will stay in the background (using a log catcher) and throw an error out and when I actually figured that out the first time I saw it, it was spewing the error out scrolling the log screen so fast I couldn't even read it I had to save the log and then read it and since I didn't know which app was causing it I re enabled all the apps that I originally stopped using Package disabler pro and then the problem went away and stopped scrolling the log screen like that.. Now whenever I use Package disabler pro I go into the developer settings and enable the "Show CPU usage" and it's a great way to do it because if the CPU spikes and stays high then I would re enable that specific app.. Yeah it does a bit longer because you disable 1 app then watch the CPU on the screen to make sure it doesn't spike high or anything but the extra time spent is worth it to get longer screen on time and more available memory for other things..
[Galaxy Note5 General] MoaningZombie:
Hey everyone.

Just found something in the wireless stings of the Note 5 which has had a MAJOR impact on standby time.

Since upgrading to 6.0.1 I found I wasn't getting a full day out of the battery like I used to. I tried switching off and disabling things all over the place but nothing made a difference.

My last resort was going to be a hard reset but before that I went through every singe setting I could find in the phone.

I long-pressed the wireless toggle and saw this in the settings: "Allow apps to look for wireless connections even if wireless is off."

I thought I had seen this before but maybe not. I switched this off and It's like I have a new phone, about 0.5% per hour drain in standby! No battery apps, no reboot, no hard reset!

This has been the norm now since I found it 5 days ago. I then found the same setting in my wife's S5 Mini as she had been complaining of battery drain since an update, and it worked on her phone too.

I've gone back into the wireless settings of the Note 5 but I can't find it now. It's like switching it off actually removes the option from the settings page.

Also, my phone always felt a bit warm when I took it out of my belt pouch. I always thought this was body heat transferring, but after this change the phone is now always cold. This proves (well in my case anyway) that the phone was actually doing something rather than being on standby, even though nothing showed up in the battery usage stats.

I am on the stock Samsung firmware.

Hope this can help a few people out there.

Mine is 2 hours 31 minutes and android system 17% like wtf. Phones bought same day. only difference is i use my kik app more. she doesnt. no BT at all and i cant use WiFi otherwise it drains like HELL. oh and the CPU total for android system is 3h 47 min 13s on my phone.

Dude I did exactly the same. Wiped cache, factory reset ans system reboot. I am on genuine oss from smart switch. The result was magnificent. I went to sleep with 40pc and woke up with 26 at 7 oclock. I used to lose 50% overnight...

Then i used for 45 minutes the phone until 6%

The bad thing is that I fully charged at the office at 10.30 and now I am at 81pc. Android OS has gone wild again... I will report later on...
[Galaxy Note5 General] RazorMC:
I use Amplify and Greenify together to get better results.

Most bloat is already frozen with Titanium Backup.

I get better battery standby time overall, but I wish I didn't have to resort to all that just to get a bearable drain.
[Galaxy Note5 General] angelfacekiller:
I dont know if it works or not now. For sure i have raped the phone with network traffic of outlook and viber plus all the others....

Generally I consider this consumption reasonable but we should have a baseline. What should it be? SoT ? Networking time? I don.ttknow anymore
[Galaxy Note5 General] angelfacekiller:
Another disgusting night with Android OS screwing everything. 50% doing nothing. Yesterday I lost only 15 % overnight and after I charged the phone in the office Android OS gone wild. I haven't installed or removed anything. The bad thing is that it does not have to do with KNOX. My friend has S6 duos and it is worst than mine. 55% lost overnight and he is on knox 0x0

Not even close... everything was ok until I charged it at this office after factory reset... completely random behaviour for every user.

[Galaxy Note5 General] leo72793:
which version of the software are you on? I'm on OK3 and this is my use during hurricane matthew:

Literally no signal for LTE. forced 3g in mobile network settings

cell standby 7%

kik 6%

WiFi only used for 10% of my battery. used 3g all day. Used hacked app hotspot for a bit hour or so, called a few to check on people and overall this is great. especially since being on 3g with next to no signal. tower was offline all day after the storm. Knox eats battery. check under data use or battery for constant connection apps. i had to restrict background data to a few and it worked. unrooted also

I have attached my software info screen. This is the latest thing from snartswitch.

I ve heard that it happened after an updte on June.. for sure though they try to push us to buy S7 and Note7...
[Galaxy Note5 General] leo72793:
can't you odin flash back to 5.1.1? and knox only trips if rooted. idk what in android goes crazy. this is why i never do software updates.
