there has been a strange increase of battery problems for note users here on xda . bloated battery . flickering battery % and what not...
i read somewhere in xda that the note battery is only bound to last a year or so...is it true ?
if its true that means we as are gonna see a lot more similar threads in the coming months when people cross the 1 year mark
being a heavy user my phone has been constantly on charge for.the past 9 months ..And recently I've noticed that my battry takes longer to charge and then runs out quicker than before.
is this 1 year battery thing , a samsung issue or an android issue ?? or is it an acceptable life for a smartphone battery ?
what do you guys think ?

My Note is one year and three days old and is still going strong with the original and only battery I've used. I can't say I've noticed a drop in battery life at all. Typically I top up the battery daily from the original charger, although it could go for a few days between charges if it had to. I just prefer to have a full battery when I leave the house. You never know what your needs might be throughout the day - emergencies, for example. I usually let it charge past the first sign of 100%, all the way until I get the additional "Full" green battery appear in the notification bar.
As for ROMS, I've tried every stock ROM since release (now on the latest stock ICS and have been since it came out) and also dabbled briefly with AOKP and Paranoid.
I wonder, isn't battery also 1 year guarantee?

The standard phone battery guarantee is usually for 6 months.

From my experience, having two different android phones, spare battery chargers always charge the battery fully unlike the handsets. I would say draining the battery fully from time to time and charge it by a spare battery charger enhances the battery life back to "what is expected". No manual battery calibration is needed if you own a spare battery charger for your phone.
I rotate usage with 2 batteries. Therefore everything is cool.

The on off charge indicator can be a sign of a broken USB board. Mine suffered this last week I change the board myself using spare parts one brought from eBay one from a uk online store. This solved the charge issue however reduced signal by a long way on both boards so sent off to samsung now and will pay to get it fixed. Reason signal plummeted is the aerial is connected to this board also

Strange enough the batt life span is just 1 and 1/2 year. Mine just change to a new batt few weeks back. It was bloated. Why cant they produce more durable batt? Something similar like nokia batt?

I got two extra Anker batteries that last longer than the original and a charger for $15 on Ebay. Big deal.

Mine is ten months old. Now batt bloated and flickering starts after just a few minutes. Went downhill fast over about three week period. . I need a new battery.
Two questions-
Can i get one from the Samsung store in Manila as warrantee replacement? (my phone is from Germany via USA Amazon)
If not, can i get those third party Antek batts in Manila? Green hills? or from Ebay.ph? They got best reviews on Amazon.

Any?
same here!
no news?
Same thing happened to me. Turns out I slightly damaged the battery during removal and after replacing the battery it worked fine.
i had two possible solutions in my mind: 1) battery replace; 2) i never believed in battery calibration, but there is something that makes misread the right battery level on the device, so it arrives under the security low level. Indeed the battery never arrives to 0% because the device shut off before to protect the battery polarity even we see the 0% on the status bar. But for some reason the device can't perceive the right battery percentage and keeps the phone alive believing it is at about 15% or such.....when the battery is near at the "real" 0% its voltage is lower and the device reacts like this at lower voltages (just like people suffering ghost touch while using chinese low quality chargers). Then i tried to calibrate the battery (just wiping batterystats file) forcing the system to recreate it from scratch. I know it should happen automatically at reboot, but maybe this wasn't happening because since i calibrated the battery i reache the 2% without problems. Maybe it's just a case....will keep testing (damn! maybe i found a solution 5 minutes after i ordered a new battery on ebay!!!!)
Hi i have a asus me400c windows tablet and one fine day after 2 years and 6 months of use and after going to the 0% of battery stopped charging, i can see the current orange light telling me that this current bound but not life, switch off the charger after a while, neither the battery weak intermittent signal is shown , will be necessary a new? shouldn't give life at least if the battery is connected the chain only?
Best regards and thanks guys for any support/help
Anyone please?

I have a problem with my note 4, the phone shuts down by itself before reaching 0% battery and then it goes in a bootloop or it remains shutdown. If I want to power it up it doesn't pass the first "note 4" screen and it shuts down again.
The only way to power it up is to connect it to a power source. And the charging continues form the percentage at wich it did shutdown. Sometimes does this at 10% sometimes at 20%.
Sometimes after a sudden shutdown it powers itself up and the percentage is 0% and shuts down again, but if I plug the charger it continues from the percentage at wich it shuted down (25% for example).
I read somewhere that buying a new battery will do the trick. So I bought a new oem authentic Samsung battery but the problem is even bigger now. The new battery sometimes shuts down at 60%.
I thought the problem is my custom rom so I flashed the stock one unrooted, just stock firmware. The problem persists.
I tried to calibrate the battery using diferite methods, root method, classic method, a method where I type *#0228# in the dialer. No luck.
Another thing is that the new battery it's not at all better at battery life than the old one, it looks like it's draining at the same speed as the 2 year old one.
I found a lot of topics on Google about this problem but no solution.
Should I get my new battery replaced? Some people did this but with no luck.
Please help, I don't want to buy a new phone because I really love this note 4 but if I can't find a solution I will have to replace it.

Where did you buy the "new oem authentic Samsung battery"? In my experience, if it didn't actually come from Samsung or a carrier, it's probably fake. Maybe try an Anker?
It's probably a fake battery. I bought (against my will ) a refurbished Note 4 a couple of days ago and I had that problem. The battery that came with the phone was not an original one. You can verify it by touching it or just looking at it. The original ones have a NFC chip under the label, the fake ones don't.
Before returning the phone i bought an OEM battery and it went down to 0 before shutting down. With the fake battery it would shut down between 18 and 15%.
Buy a brand new genuine Samsung battery mate. If not online go to them Samsung cafes or whatever they are called in your place.
The battery looks like a original one and has the nfc chip.
I bought it from a big online retailer and I have warranty and invoice. I will go to a Samsung service center and ask for a replacement under warranty and if they say the battery is fake I will return it from where I bought it.
I will update the thread when I have news.
Thank you for your advices.

Same here I'm thing of selling this Samsung Galaxy Note 4 even if I enjoy it alot
My beloved Note 4 is I think dying. I have read several threads, tried all techniques that have been used, including cleanup, cache clean, factory reset, wake lock etc. After restarting it may hold good for sometime but then screen freezes becomes black, exact two vibrations and the phone restarts.
It was an unrooted, very well maintained. I had changed the battery 4-6 weeks back to an Anker Note 4 battery as my stock battery was not holding charge below 15%. Nothing else changed. Perhaps running some magazine apps from mobi, but otherwise just took very good care of this.
I am so disappointed that words fail me to have lost this epic best device ever created.
If you guys can think off any thing I can do to revive my beloved Note 4, please let me know. Please.
Thanks

Frustrating
Strange thing as of this week, mine is doing the same thing - struggling to get it started, and tried everything including the reinstalling the rom - got a brand new battery and nothing is working....I did do an update just before all this started.
i really think its the battery too.... i've had the same problem a while back.

Nope swapping with stock battery still same freezes. Here's the weird part now. Three days running without freezing. I also watched a 45 min YouTube video at 720p. Nothing yet. I wonder is it because of the sheer power of the device and the way we put it on a an overdrive (running almost PC like tasks) has stressed the hardware out and which is now beginning to fail. I am still going to log the sequence of events when this happens. Now replying this via my note 4.

Also is running the best application made for Android (dns66) safe? A VPN vs rooted adaway is very different. Hope no anomalies with this.

I should write a book titled "how to jinx it". Phone back to freezing mode. Will start it tomorrow morning. Activity that I was doing is browsing the Amazon app and loading some item photos and the black frozen screen of death.

Can you post details of the update? What location? I don't think users in Canada are expecting any further updates.

I was having screen freezes without loss of power, would still work with S pen, rooted and installed other roms, tried a 1000 different things and nothing worked. Started having this issues after an official update. Bought a anker battery which solved some battery problems but the rest of the issues remained. 1 month ago phone started going black screen and turning off. Couldnt power it on, had to remove battery to start it again. 2 weeks ago installed nemesys rom and now working all like a charm. Hope im not jinxing it now.
Have exynos 910C
Eva, can you please keep checking and posting your results here. Fingers crossed too.
Also a brief step by step guide to install nemesys rom would greatly help.
I also thought if Nougat could fix the issue?

Will be calling Samsung support today based on suggestions on the other freeze thread. If 300 euros (that would be brand new phone in Canada), I am going to take this forward to the press.

It is a well known issue. Please read similar post in this forum (note 4 freeze and restart).
Solved only by installing app called wakelock, that drains a bit.
Samsung doesn't pronunce about that, but they know, oh, if they know. But the cure is expensive, and they want to avoid massive recall.
So, this is.
Greetings.
Oh, and someone better than me should investigate why wakelock works. Perhaps, it may help thousands users, around the world.
You have a problem with your EMMC chip!
Just over 2 years old note 4 G model. There are days mine restarts up to 10 times. In a "good" day only 2-3 times. Only gets worse in the last half year. Need a solution.
Problems like these are either hardware or software. Try a clean wipe and then reflash latest stock rom for your device via Odin. Do not install too many other apps, and do not install xposed or root, etc. Keep it basic. If problems go away, then the issue is related to a troublesome app or something that was corrupted on your previous rom installation. If problems persist, then it is likely hardware (which, given the age of the device today, may not be cost effective to fix). Hope this helps.
Mine became almost useless...freezing screen, unresponsive buttons, reboots escalated from 3-4x a day to 9-10x a day, getting stuck on either the Samsung or Sprint boot screen. Push came to shove and I completely formatted and installed the phone back to stock. I can't recall which ODIN flashable version of 6.01 I found, but it worked fine for about half a day...until the phone pushed an OTA update on me. It was like a brand new phone again, but like clockwork I was right back to 3-4 reboots a day... at least it was only that.
So far I'm on day 2 of flashing "Baseband version N910PVPS4DPK1 via ODIN, installed TWRP and then installing a custom Zerolemon mod baked into the stock kernel by @lucasaddon. Give me a full week of heavy usage (I go through an IBESTWIN 10,000mah battery at least every day via streaming while I'm at work, so I've got two of these batteries) and with his permission, I'll share it here.

See this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/note-4-freezing-restarting-t3348821
The best approach so far (if you live in the US) is to send it to the Samsung repair facility in Plano, TX. It will cost anywhere from about $50 to $150 to get it fixed, but they will repair it to like new condition. I did that several months ago and mine still works flawlessly.
Good luck!!!
