I have a tiny concern with my Screen On Time because i Really Find it weird.....

I made some tests and found out that the battery drains faster when im just browsing or texting, heck even just by tinkering with settings the battery drains..pretty much anything related to me using the touch screen.

my battery drains 1% every 4 minutes with me using the touch screen.

but when I just watch youtube videos, or just pretty much watch media on it, the battery drains less. around 15 minutes on youtube and my battery went down only 1-2%

is there something wrong with my device?
[Galaxy Note5 General] b4u2:
Very nice! My Note 5 just blows. Talking with Samsung but it will be nearly impossible to prove that my battery is the issue. I get maybe 3 of SOT time stock rom. I used debloat but it didn't really make battery life better so I just reactivated all the apps.

Now they want me to use Safe Mode to test and use my phone like normal. Uhm all the apps I use are not stock so I have nothing to use my phone "like normal" so how can I test the battery life now?
[Galaxy Note5 General] tiguy99:
Sounds like a defective battery.

How hard is it to open one of these and swap out the battery?

Mine only gets 3 hours SOT as well. After many hours and jumping through hoops with Samsung they finally agree my battery is bad. There is no local repair near me so I have to send the phone to them so they can fix it. I am trying to get AT&T to carrier unlock my Note 3 so that I can use it while my Note 5 is being fixed. I'll never buy another phone without a removable battery.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Master619:
Mine also only gets like less than 4 hours SOT :crying: What to do...
[Galaxy Note5 General] tw1n5nak35:
The problem with cell phones nowadays, even with batteries with 3000 mah, the on screen time will be short. Imagine, your watching youtube, netflix, twitch tc and browsing using phone constantly all the time. Than the battery will be DRAINED SEVERELY. Cause of the screen constantly on. Sadly though, the only choice really is to buy a phone with a removable battery like the note 3/4 and buy a huge 10,000 mah zero lemon battery with matching battery door. If you plan on using your device alot, have it plugged in, or learn how to not always be on your phone. But hey, that's just my 2 cents. :D
[Galaxy Note5 General] b4u2:
3 hours SOT after doing tests for Samsung they determined my battery is bad. The SOT is supposed to be much longer. They are putting a new battery in mine.

For me the phone is basically my pc so telling people to use their phone/mobile device less is not a solution. Go pat yourself on the back and let the rest of us provide useful help here.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Master619:
Thing is, I don't even play games or watch youtube videos. Mostly just Facebook / messenger and some web surfing. That should result in at least 5-6 SOT theoretically, right?

Thanks, I will give Samsung support here a try. Not sure if they would be that helpful... I even rooted the phone.
[Galaxy Note5 General] b4u2:
If the phone is rooted Samsung will not help you at all. They consider that a modified device and will not touch it. There are videos on how to replace the battery yourself but I have not tried that since mine was under warranty.

Rooting would be nice. Verizon doesn't allow that even though I now own my device.
[Galaxy Note5 General] -BoneZ-:
It absolutely does. It causes the GPU to work much less harder than full resolution, which in turn uses less power. Any device whether it be phone, laptop, tablet, etc., will use less power if the GPU (and even CPU) doesn't have to work very hard.

It was definitely noticeable on the Note 7 the battery savings when switching to 1080p screen resolution from stock.
[Galaxy Note5 General] b4u2:
Where can we downscale and what might be a decent setting?

It's GSam Battery Monitor Pro v3.28

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm.pro

Version 3.29 and 3.30 seems to have bugs with Note5 N9208.

There's also free version to try...

This app is not like Greenify ... it just gives stats and advice on which services or modules in Android environment that draw energy from the battery...

It's not worth to get the paid version unless you really serious into observing energy usage in the device...
[Galaxy Note5 General] b4u2:
My replacement note 5 from Verizon still doesn't get that great of a battery life. It's better than my original one but not that good. I keep mine screen turned way down all the time as well. I'm running material black theme and package disabler with as much turned off as I can.
[Galaxy Note5 General] azeemzuhair:
It's all about "Background Data" and Signal Strength....

You can try install GSam Battery Monitor Pro (or free version too - I think so...) to detect whether wake lock presence or not.

As shown in the graph and stats above, I purposely leave the device in standby for 12 hrs 53 minutes. In this period of time, no CPU is awake for 9 hours 11 minutes. Meaning, the wake lock is almost close to non-existence.

We cannot make wake lock to be zero as some services has been locked to always use CPU at certain interval. Usually, those Google services has permanent wake lock if not properly control.

Email fetching, FB, rouge apps that pushes updates and ads are also the source of wake lock. It's very difficult to trace. But, there are bunch of apps out there to give you the stats on which ones contribute to wake lock sessions...

Could be that your network coverage is very poor and uses lots of energy searching for best connection. This consumes lots of energy...especially dual SIMs devices. You can test this... you just leave your phone inside metal enclosure like safety box or even microwave oven... after like 1 hour, the phone will be "quite" warm becoz of poor signal reception... The easiest way is to wrap the phone with aluminum foil... the Note5 will be "cooked" after 1 hour and the battery will deplete like crazy...

[YOUTUBE]ot4_jVFXxUU[/YOUTUBE]

We could go on like forever talking about energy consumption in any Android devices. In the end, getting the right recipe to have optimum energy consumption is very tricky, time-consuming and "trial and error" method altogether.

As a start, you can try to set "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" to "Never". Then, set to allow the "Background Data" to certain apps like Email and WhatsApp only but not FaceBook, Instagram, SnapChat and the rest as these apps constantly fetching notifications in the background. My case is as below:

View attachment 3916719

Next, fully charged the device before you go to bedtime. Next morning (8 hours sleep perhaps...), observe the battery drain... it should be around 1% - 5% per hour...

To power up, you consume Red Bull. But your phone just needs its adaptive fast charger. Rate this thread to express how quickly the Note5 can charge. A higher rating indicates that it charges extremely fast.

[Galaxy Note5 General] leo9891:
This is the fastest charging phone ever! During the days where I use the phone heavily, it will drop to about 15-20% around 4 PM, my day starts at 5 AM. That's when I unplug my phone also. So great battery life for me. It will charge from 10% to 100% in about 1 hr or just slightly more. Can't complain about it, it a great feature.

The cable that i got with the phone is garbage, any other one will do the trick.
[Galaxy Note5 General] natypes:
Charges as fast or faster than my S6 did, which is awesome since the battery is bigger. IF I use it heavily throughout the day and get it below 50% I'll throw it on the fast charger (wired) while doing dishes or something and I get almost 2%/min. 10 minutes will get me almost 20% more battery and I'm golden for the rest of the day with heavy use (CoC attacks all night lol)

Wireless Fast Charger

Got 2 wireless chargers. 1 from Costco when i got the note 5 and the other when i activated samsung pay. Sold them both for 20 each and bought the fast charger. Less sensitive when looking for that "sweet spot" and seems to charge just as fast as factory cable. About an hour and twenty minutes to charge fully. Battery lasts pretty good on stock even before using package disabler pro.

You guys talk about charging time while Fast Charge features enabled.

How about normal charge ?

I was disabled fast charge feature and tried to plug my phone to my charge. It took me more than 4 hours to fully charged from 15% of battery.
[Galaxy Note5 General] bearone2:
why waste time with regular charging when it takes 1hr 11 min to 100% from 15%....charging with phone off.

if you charge while on the phone is on & continually updating social media, email, stocks/bonds/financial, it'll take a long time, if you ever see 100%.
[Galaxy Note5 General] tw1n5nak35:
I don't fully deplete my battery anymore, since it's not replaceable. When I had the note 3 with another spare battery and usb 3.0 wire charger I got it down it like 10% than charge. Life is a little different on the note 5. I have to charge my phone while at work, at least once a day sometimes 2 times if I'm heavily using my phone. Just the combination of bad 3g service here at work and Really good 4G LTE service, in certain areas, brings my battery performance down. But no problem, I have fast wired charger, from 20% to 100% in about 1 hour and 10 mins while the phone is on and even faster with the phone off. At home, I have fast wireless charger which I use, right before I sleep when I don't need a fast charge. A little slower than the fast wired charger, but 20% to 100% in 1 hour and 30 mins. I also have a non fast wireless charger but it's sort of useless. It only works will with my brother's s6 and now his s7.
[Galaxy Note5 General] joutcast:
My phone was taking about 8 hours [MENTION=1785406]300m[/MENTION]A to charge and was getting extremely hot. I found Galaxy Charging Current Free on the app store and found my cable and extension cord were the culprits. I was really happy with the results and purchased the normal version just because the free fixed my problem. I also requested beta user access because it does support Note 5 even though it says it doesnt. You just don't see max input. Now I'm at about 2.5 hours (2160mA) 10% to 100. Gets slightly warm but not like before.
[Galaxy Note5 General] tw1n5nak35:
So your having problems with fast wired charge. Have you tried fast wireless charge? I have a normal wired charger and wireless charger at home as well. But I don't really use them, unless I do not need a fast charge, so sometimes when I go to bed I'll use the normal charger.

So let me get this straight. I've got Note 5 N-920C. I lost my original usb cable that i got out of the box. So i'm using this third party cable from "case logic" hoping that it would be good enough. it charges super fast, but dilemma here is it get from 0 to 13 % just as i plug in and changes upto 100 % within 45-50 mins i guess, with normal day use using custom rom i hardly get full day long power.

i had same problem when i was in stock rom with a hope of getting more juice out of it i switched to custom rom but luck didn't work out there either. So i'm confused whether it's my cable that is rusty or my phone(dual sim N920C Note 5) or those custom kernels. I bought this phone just to get more battery power out of it but it seems like i'm all doomed at last. Any one here can help me out here if it's a cable which i think is the problem how can i get a good one here in third world country where finding original products is real big deal.

and i'm using the same adapter that i got out of the box.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] newyorkgiants:
Thank in advance....i'm fairly new to hacking phones, was able to fully S-off, unlock bootloader and root my HTC DINC to get my feet wet

I have Verizion HTC6500LVW with 5.0.2. Since 5.0.2 disabled FoxFi wifi hotspot, I am just trying to find out the best solution to re enable, so seems like rooting is best option. I have read the forums and seems like for the super locked down Verizion M7 I will need to do the following

1) run KingRoot for Temp Root

2) run Sunshine

3) reboot

4) install/run KingRoot again

That should get me S-Off, Unlock bootloader, rooted phone perm, but I want to keep the Stock OS (yes, call me nuts), but not sure how to just get wifi hotspot going.

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Hi Guys

for a while i was wiping my internal storage before flashing a new rom. I would always use my sd card and dropbox so the internal storage wasnt a big deal to me. i decided to start leveraging the internal storage.

So my question is will not wiping internal storage in twrp before flashing a new rom affect the perfromance on my new rom even though i were to odin the stock fw right before? or is it a better idea to wipe internal ?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlkaliV2:
This is a touchy subject because people will tell you both ways to do it. If you don't have a MicroSD card then you don't need to wipe the internal storage because you would delete the ROM you would flash.

The only community-wide acceptable answer for when you should wipe internal storage is when you upgrade from like Kit-Kat 4.0 to Lollipop 5.0 or Lollipop 5.0 to Marshmallow 6.0 and so on.

I have my own opinion about this, but every response you will get here will be an opinion so I won't add mine to the mix.
