I have been using my phone on wife since about 7 am. Since then, I have done maybe an hour of browsing on chrome, installed an app or 2, watch a short YouTube video, checked my email once, and played a game for 5 mins. I saw other people's battery stats and it says they have 20 plus hours of talk time? Mine says there is only 3 hours left. Is it possible I have a faulty battery? I'm also using juice defender and power save along with the brightness all the way down. I'm running android revolution hd with elemental kernel. I have the att version. Thanks in advance.
Depends on what rom your on and how long you have had the phone

I find that based on my usage habits that I get terrible battery on Android Revolution v12. I always find myself going back to a rooted AT&T Sense build, and I'm able to pull 3 hours of screen-on time with 20% left.
Be sure to use a Wakelock Detector to pinpoint any rogue apps that are keeping your phone awake when it should be sleeping.
Also; be careful with those "Juice Defender"-type apps, Android has come a VERY long way in managing RAM, and resources since 2.2 (Froyo).
Report back with any findings
Don't mean to hijack the the thread but im having a rather peculiar issue 3g and wifi are eating away my battery like a percent for every 2-3 mins that also while only browsing web nothing else in the background can anyone help . Also im on stock rom , no root and s-off
P.S auto sync is off few apps have been disabled like (play store,facebook , google + and google search and few more)
jucie defender and power saver lol over kill i bet they are working against each other

I have about the same hours on stock rooted AT&T 1.26.502.12. Updating to stock rooted 2.24.401.1 has about the same hours, but it's only been about a week and I'm constantly flashing the new ElementalX kernels, so it hasn't settled.
Also, running at 1.2ghz and intellidemand/fiops.
I think my battery might just be bad

what? or do u mean WiFi
you should use GSAM or wakelock detector to view if something is killing your battery, I have a very VERY good battery life specially since I updated to 2.24 firmware, i guess you don't have root
Check the ss I posted of gsm, and I do have root. Also, what does it say in talk time left in gsm battery monitor when you have full battery?
My battery life was great until i flashed new firmware. i'm on ARHD ROM and it was great on 11.5, with 12 i started using nova launcher and now battery life isn't as good as it was previously. Have you experienced changes with your battery life while using some custom launchers? Or that's rather caused by new firmware/rom/radio/etc?

if i was you I will do the following
-update the **** out of your ONE (firmware and ROM)
but since it would be to laborious, I probably do the following:
1 Factory reset, in android (backup your things becaus it will be erased if you do a factory reset in android, or just dont do it!!!!!!!!) and in recovery (or only in recovery =.=
2 Install a custom rom that is near to a stock rom like ARHD (do it two times with full wipe)
3 with titanium backup remove (after do a backup) the htc bloatware crap that you dont use
4 with titanium backup remove the gapss that you could download from playstore, like youtube, gmail, and specially MAPS
5 GREENIFY all apps that you dont use commonly, you will be able to greenify apps like maps and youtube
6 DONT USE SEEDER OR ENTROPY MODS!!!
7 DONT USE battery saver apps
8 set battery saver option: cpu, vibration, and if you can get use to, mark the data connection option too...
9 Use lagfix app...
10 download Trickster MOD and set you gobernator to MSM-DCVS (this could cause a little lag when you turn on your ONE)
allow to pass one day with you fresh rom, and the following day check how is your battery life
11 if you still have a not soo good battery life, try disabling media storage in apps configuration menu, maybe you have some corrupted media files that dont let media storage to scan all of your media and check if your battery life improve, if so, you should clean your media files, (because let disabled the media storage app have very high side effects)
optional
12 use mods related to a battery life of pimp my rom
13 disable location update from maps, and all location things from configuration (enable when you need them)
14 disable all autosync things that you could do manually, like dunno facebook
15 disable auto update hour and date
+++ disable google now
more optional sh*t
16 when your phone is fully changed in android, turn it off and let it charge until the led change to green, do that one time every two or three days
17 battery stats wipe whit any app of playstore
18 manage your brightness screen manually (its easy and fast in android 4.2.2)
fin...
normally i get 5:30 and 6:00 hours screen on time with a very good use (3g) but one day i get these results
BTW download the app batteryDrain is very good to check how your battery is draining
...And set the option in GSAM that show statistics since last full charge, and dont plug your phone because it could reset the statistics (well if you are reviewing your BLife that could be a problem since stock battery report of sense is almos usless)

So I have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 4, I got it back in October so yes I have "broken in" the battery. I have checked out several other posts and tried pretty much everything. I've turned off bluetooth, NFC, any and pretty much all useless Samsung features (smart stay, turn over to mute, multi-window), I've got a black wallpaper on for both my home and lock screens, I have greenify AND DU Battery Saver, I ONLY ever use data as I have unlimited data and my building has a shared wifi network which I don't trust, I have tweaked Sync in the settings menu to only sync crucial info from all my accounts (google, facebook, email, whatsapp, etc.). So far the BIGGEST battery drainer is Android System. It is always number one. I've had days where I've decided to push the screen-on time to its limits and have used it nonstop. Screen consumption only ever gets close even if I use my phone nonstop Android System is the biggest offender. I've tried keeping power saving mode on 24/7 but that has not seemed to help at all. I've disabled S Health, S Voice, and several other apps I never use like Google Play Newsstand. I am at the end of my rope I despise this phone for its claim to great battery life but its absolute GARBAGE real world performance. I consider myself lucky to get over 3.5 hours SOT. At this rate I might as well have an iPhone 5. I have no idea what to do.
Here's a list summarizing the things I've done to improve battery life:
Bluetooth off
NFC off
Multi-Window off
All email sync set to Manual
Sync for every account adjusted to isync only crucial info
Pitch Black Wallpaper
Power Saving Mode (Not Ultra Power Saving) switched on about 90% of the time
Using Greenify on all Power-Hungry apps
Closing most apps upon finishing using them
Using DU Battery Saver in order to monitor battery activity
Never use Wifi
No Multi-Window
No Touch Sensitivity
No Side Key Panel
Wifi Calling feature disabled (I never use wifi anyway)
No Download Booster
No Smart Stay
Animations switched off via the Developer Options
Tried using another battery (similar if not identical results)
I'm still getting at the very best if I'm somehow on a miraculous streak of good luck that day: 4 hours of Screen-On Time. It is ALWAYS Android System usually followed by Android OS and then an app or two before Screen (because my SOT is so pathetically terrible)
I love this phone, the display is beautiful, the camera is fantastic, it runs seamlessly (on Nova Launcher that is), BUT I despise the battery life. It has made me resent this phone and I'm seriously considering switching to the iPhone 6 Plus as that has comparable battery life and with it running iOS I doubt the OS would destroy my battery the way Android has been lately. What do you guys do to get such good battery life from this phone? I've tried everything I know!! Please can you help guys?
I'm also attaching screenshots from one of the BETTER days.
I would consider rooting and installing a custom rom, poprock I would recommend for keeping touchwiz.
I don't know.. maybe your battery is the problem.. When I was on stock I had the same issue, but i varied in a weird way. With poprock, battery life has been amazing.

A few people have this issue. I really think it has to do with a corrupt file that was flashed. Maybe no fix but a new phone. If part of the pit file got damaged no fix but samsung.

I'd already seen your thread. It wasn't too helpful for me unfortunately because I'm not rooted. Half the terms you guys were using "Odin'd, pit file, etc." I don't understand at all. I'm running Nova Launcher on this phone. Just typing this comment my battery has dipped from 78% to 74% this is ****ing ridiculous I'm sick of this **** phone I might just switch to iPhone. I'm done with battery raping Android.
I'm in the process of fixing this. I think I may have figured something out. I have been slowly working through freezing applications to figure out what is causing the battery drain. I've made some progress. I really think it is an issue with lollipop system apps.
I am now having a slight dragon from cell standby, but the Android System drain is getting capped. Been in this single charge for 17 hrs and Android system is only 7%
Once I get a bit more firm information I will post my findings.

Some suggestions: check out your Google settings first. Disable Google Now and uncheck their location monitoring settings. Also freeze Facebook (use the website instead). Finally ou can disable sync altogether for a while in case other apps are hammering away through it. Test your battery under each of those conditions. Good luck, be patient, take your time. If your battery is good eventually you'll get to the bottom of it. Use Better Battery Stats to monitor. Most people get fantastic battery life. I rarely use 40% in a day. Over night (8 hours) I lose 2% - that's also a really good thing to watch. If you are draining badly at night, you have major wake locks occurring.

Thanks I'll try some of that but my problem is that I shouldn't have to do all of this crap! God it seems like we HAVE to revert these superphones back to pre 2000 dumb phones in order to get any kind of a decent battery performance from them. Samsung just haaaaaad to make the screen 2K. If they'd kept 1080p it might've been better! I might as well just switch to the iPhone 6 plus if I want ZERO functionality from my big screen phone. God I hate this Note 4 and I'm so jealous of people who don't do anything like this and still get 5-7 hours of SOT with their Note 4's. I'm beginning to think they're full of it honestly.

Nope. Either replace the phone or wipe and start over since u not rooted very little help.

If you are scared of root just stay stock rooted. Not a slight at Bacardi. He answers the questions better than us.
I am have the same issue with battery drain from Android System. I have see that issues is there when WiFi is enable the battery drains faster. When WiFi is off and using mobile data it drains normal.

Hey everyone,
Hope you all are doing good. So I wanted to ask as to how your battery life is after updating to Marshmallow as compared to lollipop?
Mine has actually gone down and I am really pissed and worried. Have posted on G+ communities asking for solutions but haven't received any worthy solution so far?
Getting slightly better battery life with MM here...
Sent from my SM-N920C using Tapatalk
Slightly better on LP than on MM for me. I was getting more than 6h SOT before and now I can get only more than 5h. Cell standby is there most of the time and eating some ( not too much probably but still annoying) battery.
Envoyé de mon SM-N920C
Having the same problem here and still haven't found any solution
I am losing nearly 8 to 9% per hour on standby time without touching my phone on MM compared to 0.5 or 1% per hour on LO

hi,
Firstly, battery life overall on Marshmallow has been overall quite good (for me) .!
Similar to Lollipop.
But then all my Note range 2,3,4..5 has and still has, very good battery usage overall !
If i had battery " life issues" I would have done a bit of "investigating" or what is causing battery the drain?
Also, did you do a clean update or dirty?
I would also, monitor batter usage ....?
eg with a app like GSam battery app etc etc. (Play store, free app)
(Before you start blaming Marshmallow or system.)
You must also remember, some 3rd-party
apps might not been optimized for Marshmallow .. yet. ?
I have already experience this, with some 3rd party apps on Marshmallow !
If its system causing issues then remember , system apps, wifi, location always on , Facebook or some always on app, etc might be the reason.?
I would then consider taking drastic steps... factory reset and reflashing official stock Rom again.
You don't have to be rooted to do above !
Bottom line, you have to find cause /app /system app, and deal with it accordingly.
Good luck
Did you try the deep sleep fix by Dr.ketan ?
Note 5 which have knox triggered have issues going into deep sleep which will have huge impact on the standby time.
Try applying Dr.ketan fix on this page :

Hey, thanks a lot for such a detailed reply, really appreciate it.
I actually did do somewhat of an investigation after reading some posts and articles online. I am unable to find the real reason the battery time has decreased after I updated to MM. I did a clean update using ODIN to flash the latest firmware. It was the cambodian version that first came up. Later on when a Saudi Arabia version came up, I flashed that since I got my phone from Saudi Arabia. I performed a factory reset aswell and set it up from scratch.
I don't use the facebook app so I have disabled that, location is also off and wifi settings have also been optimized. When I check my battery stats, I don't see any app or any system app even that is consuming unusual amount of battery. "Screen" is always the one to use the most battery and is followed by "Cell Standby" and "Android OS".
I don't know about the third party apps much to be honest. There aren't much in my phone except for the usuals like snapchat and messenger and some other apps but none of them are consuming unusual amount of battery. I have turned on the app optimization so many of my apps are always optimizing.
If you have any more idea as to what should I do, let me know and i'll surely try it out.

My knox isn't triggered I have checked that because I have kept this phone in it's stock state since the day I got it. Previously I used to root my phones the day I got them but this time I around I wanted to see how stock will treat me so I didn't root this one.
Dr. Ketan's fix is for knox tripped devices and asks for root etc so i'll probably pass on that.
Thanks for your reply.

HI,
It's good to see you are trying. Believe me we have to pinpoint any possible "wakelocks" that you have.Only then should you be able to tackle issue. !
Have you installed even GSam battery app ? It has a section to pinpoint " app suckers".. (their wording.) (No root needed)
Have you looked at your deep sleep data?
eg a app like Cpu spy should tell you such info .? or is your device always running in a low power state .? (no root needed)
Are you rooted ?
then yes issues it can be endless .!
Anyway ,
If so ,you can install battery apps eg Wakelock dectector or Betterbatteries ,to get more info ?
Then there is apps like Greenify or your stock Smart Manager ,that can tell you a lot .or nothing ?
have you disable processes with an app "Package Disabler" if so you can have "knock on" effect .(re battery drain )
Please note ...
that the stock battery app helps, but its very basic.Your Snapchat and Messenger ,is it set to auto update .?..thus causing wakelocks ,as apps has to check Status/updates.?.(battery drainers .)
Good luck

Hey,
Thanks for your constant support. Yeah I know that is the only way this issue can be solved.
I will install GSam right now and see what it has to say.
I was thinking of looking at the deep sleep data, haven't done it yet. Will install cpu spy as well.
No I don't use my phone in a low power state.
Nope. Not rooted. Thinking of doing so, what do you say?
I haven't installed Greenify after the update. I think buying such a heavy spec phone and then limiting everything kind of ruins the whole point of it, don't you think?
Haven't used package disabler cause it confuses me as to what to disable and what not to.
Yup my apps are set to auto update. The battery app doesn't show them using too much battery though. How to disable this auto update I'm kinda unsure?

No I don't use my phone in a low power state.
Nope. Not rooted. Thinking of doing so, what do you say?
I haven't installed Greenify after the update. I think buying such a heavy spec phone and then limiting everything kind of ruins the whole point of it, don't you think?
Haven't used package disabler cause it confuses me as to what to disable and what not to.
Yup my apps are set to auto update. The battery app doesn't show them using too much battery though. How to disable this auto update I'm kinda unsure?

hi ,
Rooting ...its your choice ,its your device .!!!!!!
however ,i can answer you in this way .
All my precious devices , ..eg Note 2 ,3 , 4...and a Note 8.0 tablet ,is rooted and i am really enjoying the "rooting "
capabilities /power ..to do what i want ..!
That said you would notice i did not list Note5 ?
No ,its not rooted ( had device since October 2015 )
Yet ,my Note 4 ihave ,same day ..rooted .
So it depends .?
I have found no need to root Note5 ,as i am happy overall with the whole experience.!!
smoothness ,speed ,themes ,browsing experience .!!
No irritating bugs ( Just sorted the few bugs i had out ..factory resetting .)
this time it worked .(Previously ,seldom worked ,factory resetting )
I ended up always, flashing Rom with Odin to fix .
Battery overall ,
eg .sleep mode ( night time ) i get about 9../10 hours with +- 3% drainage .
I am a "meduim power user" and get with overall use a day ...+- 35..40 % battery drainage ( +- 24hrs)so i have about... 55/ 60% battery left at end of the day .(eg emails weather updates ,twitter ,forums /web browsings ..Google Play store updates , Themes store etc etc . )
I feel i can achieve this as my device is tweaked right !!! Not obsessed,as to as some members with battery SOT ( time on ) .
Ok , Auto Update , Play store ?
turn off in Play store settings ,(see screenshot .....this taken with my Note5 , screenshot )
Gsam battery ,( see other 2 x screenshot ( taken on my rooted Note 3 , with custom ROM )
also notice in (re Note3 ) GSam setting screenshot that in sleep mode i got about 4% drainage re 10hrs standby !
Good luck
A lot is about the use...now I can get the same I had on LP with normal (for me)use :browsing, Tapatalk, some games, some Wi-Fi calling, texts, only Wi-Fi ...I wouldn't get the same with only games or Facebook or equivalent battery eater. Stock unrooted MM.

Hey,
Yeah I know. I have been a rooting fan since the beginning. My nexus 5 was rooted so was my note 3. This is my first phone that I haven't rooted, it's an accomplishment. Exactly, I am satisfied with my note 5 as well. Was very very happy actually but after the update the battery life has been a bit of a disappointment, otherwise it's great in terms of speed and smoothness etc. Even my iPhone lover friends are quite amazed at the performance of my phone with lollipop and even more with marshmallow.
I did the factory reset after some members on the G+ note 5 community pointed out but that didn't make any difference for me.
I did as you suggested, downloaded those apps and used the phone after 100% charge. Since yesterday was a holiday so I didn't use the phone much as I was on my laptop. So after taking off my phone at 12 in the noon I used it somewhat and had more than 50% left even when I woke up today. Used the 50% and right now I'm on 15% here are the screenshots of my usage. I usually charge my phone as it reaches 40 and charge it to around 80 85%.
I hope you can help me after seeing these. *fingers crossed*

Hey,
Thanks for your participation. Yeah I know all the depends on the use and I don't think my use is too heavy. As you can see in the screenshots I attached in the comment above. I use a little bit of social media, no Facebook though. Whatsapp, Instagram, Snapchat, g+, flip board, fb groups, messenger and some internet surfing and some texting and a little bit of texting and some short calls. No games. I have one two but I hardly play them.

hi,
Well we can try and id culprit /reason.
In app GSam top right in your screenshot you have time on etc.
You have to press drop down small icon and list will appear of options.
see screenshot. Then its up to you to monitor different options ?
Good luck

Hey,
I only have 3 options there, probably cause I'm not using the paid version.
I was thinking of downgrading to lollipop to see how it performs there now? Do you know how I can do that? Since I remember that there was a bootloader change when lollipop arrived and so after updating to lollipop, going back to kit Kat was quite difficult. Is it the same for marshmallow?

Firstly, i also have GSam free version..!...... very strange.?
Yes, i have seen few post on XDA, re downgrading to Lollipop.
Unfortunately, i cannot help much with that. Just make sure it's for your model
N 920C..?. etc.
Also check via Google or so YouTube video how to do it.,!
Yes, the bootloader would have been updated? (. i think..)

This is a little trick for those talking about battery life that hasn't really been discussed anywhere.
On my old S5 I tried this out and got AMAZING battery life.
Standby time was around 14 days (phone on)
SOT test was well over 6 hours (running a youtube playlist .. known as the "high on android SOT test" - link http://highonandroid.com/highonandroid-sot-test/ )
..and it is all to do with syncing and apps
basic gist, factory reset .. don't setup your google or samsung account, just skip
install apps you want to use via apk's downloaded to your phone (or preferably transferred via usb from your pc)
don't use any apps that want to connect to the internet and sync in the backgorund (i.e. email, facebook, etc do all that via you phones browser e.g. chrome)
what this achieves is your phone isn't constantly pulling information from the net to either update your apps (via google play / samsung apps or just updating the information contained within the app e.g. emails)
battery life is staggering
sorry i don't have any pictures anymore of the battery life graphs as I sold the phone recently
but this is something to keep in mind, and for those who want to try it let me know how you go!
Ah ah ah..

And if you remove the battery too... and then send both the phone and the battery to separate countries on different continents, then oh my it'll last months.
OT: My battery life is poor I can barely get 1h sot, but I use note4 for productivity and internet and mail and etc, if I wanted a brick without any of those I'd buy a brick.

i'm pretty sure that your battery is dead
Good tips for those who want better battery life but I guess I'm okay with 1-1.5 day standby, 5 hour SoT, and apps being downloaded from Play and synced continuously and save huge amount of time and complication rather than installing apks one by one! Also the phone charges more or less fast too.
Hmm...!
I found the part about downloading APK and manually install them is rather ridiculous, not to mention unsafe. Wouldn't just turn on airplane mode all the time or at least turn off mobile data/wifi would yield similar result. Taking battery off is rather stupid, the phone wouldn't be standby. But I think if you want a Note (Android phone w/ stylus) and long battery life, I think you are better off using a Note 2 or Note 3, as they are not using 4K screen. And combined with large battery pack and turning off mobile data would be a big improvement w/o much sacrifice. As you can still get update to app and data via wifi. Not to mention if you are close enough to get wifi, you probably are nearby power outlet to charge your phone. Of course if you are in an area where both cell and wifi signal are unstable, then turn on airplane or completely turnoff the phone is ideal to save the battery life as the phone is not in constant of checking for better cell & wifi signal. Use common sense, people, not ridiculous strategy. I buy and use the phone/accessories to fit my life(style), not fit my life to make the phone stay on standby for 14 days.
But that's not all, if you order now we also remove all icons from the home screen, set a black wallpaper and completely disable the sound.
Isn't that amazing Mike?

Or you can do this, without loose anything.. Perhaps you wont have 16 days standby, but 10 you can make (if you are not using the phone), and you will still have a smartphone.
I have actually follow many things from there and see much much better battery..

I wouldn't be so sure about it, after a few factory resets on stock rom, it was still the same about 1 hour most. Now I decided to flash a clean stock rom using odin, so far have 1,5 hour with 45% left... I wonder if sd card could be the culprit... as I removed it before doing everything and didn't put it back in, or maybe it was some rogue nonsense in system as system UI was the biggest drain before, uptime for nearly 8 hours...
this isnt a tip
waste of time
like turn off all the functionality i WANT and USE, so my battery life is "amazing"
lol
do us a favour
save YOUR battery by turning your phone off
?
With note 4, you can permanently activate ultra saving mode and it wouldn't have the same effect?

ok, without gmail , facebook, game, email, instagram ... why i need a smart phone ??!!!!
Is there any battery life issue that anyone may have encountered ever since the previous two updates.. my 6000mah battery that used to stay for 2 days minimum has gone to a single day. It's all been after the update and i saw plenty of forums in Asus itself of the same thing.
Reference :- https://zentalk.asus.com/en/discussion/54786/battery-drain-issue-on-rog-3
Anyone got any leads for this?
You're just overthinking. Stop staring at the battery percentage 24/7 and enjoy the damn phone.

You damn right! But how, bro. When u were accustomed to charging ur phone once in two days and you have to subtract 24 hours from that.. it surw changes the usage from a gaming plus daily driver to either one of the lot .. change for the bad questions a lot of stuff

What is your battery usage? Have you tried a factory reset?
What is showing as consuming most power? An optimized debloated ROG 3 with a healthy can go a week on stand-by with data enabled and even longer (no kidding) and easily 2-2.5 days with normal use.
You have to pinpoint what is doing it. It's wearing down your battery as well...

I tried, actually. The thing is i fear the Android system itself. Coz in one of the threads on the Asus website forums, there were people discussing Play Store or Play activities that keep auto restarting and also twin apps.
So for starters i did try to force close play services (can't disable coz of the emails), then battery turned out great. But afterwards it started reducing again. Same with twin apps.
I ain't kidding too. It's supposed to a 2-2.5day phone easily with the 6000mah battery, but for me it's a single day max to max a 12+ (3-4) hour phone

Ok. I also had some battery drain (not on idle tho) and installed Kirisakura kernel, seems to have solved the issue for me. I also wiped Dalvik cahe. It may also have been the solution

You can also try to use the Naptime app, it forces the phone into Doze when screen is off. Adb access or root is needed
GSAM can also be used to find the culprit
If disabling Goog Play Services stops the issue, it's likely linked to one or more running apps or processes. It's likely not Play Services itself but because one or more other components are making calls to it. Try to review all the running apps & services on your device and selectively disable them and gauge the difference. Apps that do a lot of syncing, using location services, excessive notifications (cloud messaging), Firebase indexing, etc etc.... If you have a good app manager tool, that will make the hunt easier.
