Hello everyone, here is my problem with my Note 5 SM-N920W8. Since the last firmware update, n920w8vlu4bpj1, I have been having extreme battery drain in sleep mode. Going from 100 to 60-65% of battery 6 hours after. I have been reflashing with smart switch the firmware, did a factory reset, wipe cache and wipe data. Name it, I think I did it. I don't want 3rd party app, they are only band-aid. Could I try to downgrade to my former 6.0.1 firmware, n920w8vlu2bpe3 version wich I had excellent experience with and excellent battery life, loosing about 7% in 6 hours on sleep? Battery use is mostly Android OS for the battery drain. Thanks in advance for any advice
I have rooted my Note 5 N920C Android version 6.0.1 N920CXX3BPIC and noticed that fast battery drain then I Re-install the official software but the same problem with battery drain I checked through the XDA developers a way to fix this problem by installing a apk application called deepfix but still facing battery drain if anyone have a solution
No reply from anyone
how fast is the drain? Did you check in your battery usage stats to see if there is a culprit app?
When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Samsung Galaxy Note5's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
When A 7.0 came out overnight my battery would tell me 2 days+ of battery left with only 1 or 2% drain. As the AT&T updates continued it got worst. I have recently performed a factory reset. It will only drain 8% overnight as opposed to the usual 23% I was experiencing intermittently.
Recently installed the wake-lock detector and greenify. I'll see if greenify is just a battery hog or if it will help.
I feel that my N920A really has good standby life if I don't have any background processes running. I'll lose about 3-5% battery life each night with the phone unplugged (and connected to WiFi) collecting Whatsapp updates with the screen off. My battery drain is really about background processes. I've uninstalled the applications that I no longer use, and those I no longer NEED for weekly use. My battery life was restored dramatically. My phone CAN last an entire day, but I keep my charger nearby just in case one day I'm proven wrong.
Hmm well mine 920I after about 9h went from 100 to 97.

Hi, I'm having the same model as yours which is SM-N920I Note 5 International Version. Can I know what is your current rom that enables you to have such battery saving. I'm currently using pixel experience (Stock Google), No Touchwiz etc, and mine gone 9 hr and battery to 20-30%. Any idea on should I revert to stock rom, or choose another custom rom. Anyway what rom did you use, so I can follow more easy.
back to stock or better rom

why don't you download stock rom from sammobile and flashing through odin ? if not try khonloi S8 rom the smoothest so far. Battery average 3 hours SOT, and standby is more than 15 hours without AOD .
After doing a bunch of tests on my N5, I found out that my horrific standby drain was from having bad cellular reception in my area. I have the N5 (Canadian version) which has no carrier bloatware; however, I was loosing about 15% overnight with Data and WiFi on. Obviously, WiFi takes over, but the phone still tries to scan for cellular data. When I started turning off Data at night, and using only my WiFi connection, that's when I started to loose only 4% overnight, which told me the problem was a bad signal. So I went on and changed my Data connection from automatically connecting to LTE, to automatically connecting to 4G, and my standby drain has decreased significantly.
I'll test the 4G only option, and see if that works for my N920A

Try measuring it in airplane mode. I guess your drain is normal due to poor signal reception in your area. I'm getting very similar drain ~1.5% per hour and -0.3%/hour in airplane mode. Also I noticed my n920p receives much lower signal (15-20dbm difference) compared to my old note 2 in the same conditions.

the battery drained when it was off..
Hi all,
i am suffering battery drains with every ROM i install , average from 100% to 0% in 2 hours even if i left the phone untouched!
first i thought it was a weak battery and i ordered a brand new one but the problem is the same with the new battery
i have it with LineageOS , Resurrection Remix , Slim Roms and even with original stock ROM ,tried different kernels but don't see any difference
i see i am not the only one with battery drain issues but 2 hours standby time is not workable for me because i am not always on a spot where i can charge the phone......
any ideas?
thanks!
Try Battery calibration and Install the last modem/baseband. Test in airplane mode
tried battery calibration and installed the latest baseband problem still the same
gonna test this weekend in airplane mode , need to be online for work so i cant be in airplane mode in weekdays
thanks
