Battery life - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
My friend owns a note 4 910c (exynos edition) anf yesterday he saw me his battery stats and told me he has a prob but i couldnt help him so i visiti my beloved xda and its beloved communication. I saw that his android system used about 33% of the battery life and his SOT only 15%. The phone had that perticular moment 24% battery with 1 hour SOT and 11 hours after last charged. I havent seen such poor battery life, ever! I had a note 3 and i had 6 hours SOT with 24 hours usage, my nexus 6 now has about 4 SOT and 24 hours usage. Any help would be super

note 4 low battery drastically drains
Hi. Ive been noticing some anomaly on my galaxy note 4(sm-n910c/lollipop) battery. When it goes down to about 20%, it starts to drastically drain itself. So rapid like 1% per 10sec. Maybe there's someone out there who encountered the same problem or knows the fix. Advanced thanks

No Samsung Again
I have the same problems.
I made a factory reset but the issue didnt solve.
Samsung should be shame and we should stop buying Samsung.

Battery life

Hello I got this nexus 4 days ago and read it battery life suppose to be around 10 hour but I know it will be less. I'm getting about five. Curious what's everyone else is getting. Please post your battery life here.

I am described as a power user. I could engage in some heavy browsing and gaming and having the screen on all day and then let the tablet sit overnight off the charger, but I'd have to charge it late noon the next day. I usually land in the 1 day 2-8 hours range according to system battery stats. If you believe your battery sucks, roll back to 4.1.2 and your life will be phenomenal!
I'm not sure what tricks those users with 10hrs SOT have done, but I never managed to get more than about 6-7 hrs SOT. I thinks those highest results have been done with wifi off, brightness at lowest level and sounds off etc...

[Q] N910C Battery Life

Can users with 910C tell us what is the battery life on that model?
I was on 5.0.1 stock PDA N910CXXU1BOC3 and CSC N910COXX1BOC1, battery life was terrible, after that i downgrade to 4.4.4 stock PDA N910CXXU1ANK5 and CSC N910COXX1ANK2, i made a full calibration after.
My screen time in 22 hours is 2h and 30m, 37% battery left. Rest was idle. It is so, so little. In standby i got 0-1% in 10h, so idle standby is very good. Band was set on GSM only, all sensors deactivated.
Any advices? What are your times gentlemans on SM-N910C model?

I'm on 5.0.1 BOC3 and every day I have WiFi and Bluetooth on all day, screen at just under 25% brightness (unless outdoors). I regularly get 6 hours SoT, but usually finish the day with 4-5 hours SoT and about 20% battery left. Today so far the phone has been on 4 hours with SoT of 1 hour and I have 89% battery left. Did you do a factory reset before/after moving to Lollipop? Coming from an N7000 I've been very pleased with the battery life on the N910C.

try greenify, it improved it a lot! (from 2hours to 3.5hours)
I have Greenify installed, but honestly don't find I need to use it much. I have automatic hibernation turned off, and just hit the widget now and again when I feel the need to close some persistent apps. (I am not rooted).

Pff. Thats splendid. Mine goes 1% every 1-2 minutes when im use it. I tryed 3-4 roms, different base, LL and KK too. Same battery life. In standby is very good. Its drops when i use phone. I charged 3 h and 50 mins ago. Now i have 79% with 55 mins of screen. I belive it is very weak. On this percentage i will get 3 h of screen
Sounds like maybe some app you have installed is causing problems, or could be a problem with your battery. Have a read through some of the other threads on battery life for tips and possible solutions.

Battery drain

Hello guys. I bought my Galaxy note 4 2 weeks ago.Everything ran smooth..20+ hours per day of usage my mobile data on. Today i went to work..100% battery,mobile data on..after 3 hours it was at 96%..without any usage..and then i didn't checked it for a few hours..about 6 hours..and when i checked it..it was at 24%,with no usage at all. At battery usage it said that: Android OS consumed 27%..and Google Services 23% and my battery drained very fast to 9%..in just an hour. What is wrong with it ? What should i do ?

How's your Note 3 battery life?

My Note 3 has godly battery life; no joke. It seems to last for 12 hours SoT from 100% and over a week going down to 5%.
It's on Stock Touchwiz with IdleKernel 7.1.0 on. Has some changes from Kernel Adiutor, L Speed, and has Greenify.
And 10000 mAh battery... Please remove this thread, it's kinda stupid !

Redmi note 7 HIGH battery drain

Hello,
my uncle just bought me a brand new genuine Redmi note 7, I opened the box and turned the phone on.. I noticed that the battery was at 66%, I set up the phone which took a minute or less and that's when I was about to connect it to my wifi BUT then I notice that the battery is 63% ALREADY.. Now knowing that the phone has a 4000mah battery I was beyond shocked too see a 3% drain with low brightness and just 1 minute of light use literally no SIM or internet was being used.. so I turned it off and charged it to the max.. After that I turned the phone back on to update miui.. I connected the phone to my wifi and started updating to the last version.. available from the updater.. it took less than 10 minutes.. and guess what I see? 100% to 89% in less than 10 minutes that's crazy.. I bought this phone because of this guy w ww. youtube. com/watch?v=3gaWbx2x06s as we can see in the video he gets almost 8 hours of SOT with full brightness wifi and youtube FHD... right now I'm doing the same experiment and adding battery saver setting and my battery is draining fast I'd be surprised if I got 4 hours of sot... I don't understand... what's wrong? The phone is new and genuine since I verified the imei.. Thank you.

I believe every phone does the same thing like that when you configure them for the very first time. Full brightness, wifi scanning, mobile data ON, GPS ON, sync ON for a few minutes can consume lots of battery.
My advice is to fully set up your phone with all the apps you want and turn off any features you don't use. Use and recharge your phone normally for a few days. Check for battery consumption stats using native graphs or popular battery tracking apps. Analyze graphs and stats and draw the conclusions yourself. (Don't trust everything people say on YouTube, trust your own experience.)
In the worst scenario, you can always return your phone within 7 days of purchase. I hope you don't have to! :fingers-crossed:
My brand new redmi note 7 is a little fast draining right now too which is a little disappointing but my redmi note 5 was also the same fast draining when I first purchased it and it improved so I really hope this redmi note 7 does the same and improves.
I have both phones side by side right now so I can kind of compare usage

Yeah even my mediatek redmi note 4 didn't drain like this.. now when it gets to 15% it just discharges completely.
One thing I will mention is facial recognition. It could possibly drain the battery faster so I have just turned it off for testing purposes. I need to see what difference it makes but that's really the only difference between my two redmi phones 5 & 7.
Any new phone battery will take a few charge/drain cycles until it is calibrated correctly.
Use it for a while and see if the battery settles down.
Also different countries have different mobile systems. This will also affect battery life as the phone needs to continually scan for a signal....

30% brightness.. only wifi.

I know the post is old but I have the same problem ... I think we are so many to have it !!
I have a Note 7 for more than a month and it never went well ... I managed to do only 3 days but almost without using it, there are people who also do 4 or 5 days of use ...
Anyway if I use it it makes me amalapena 1 day ...
When I use the phone I see that it consumes my battery quickly even if I just navigate the phone menu.
I've already done at least 4 reset but it didn't help
I do not know what to do..
Did you solve the problem?
miui 11 could help?
Thanks
Imposible to do 4-5 days with this phone or any phone when u use it. Why do u have smartphone when u dont use it and u care about battery?
What version MIUI are you all using?
I'm still on 10.3.5 and battery life is great.
I average 9.5 hours SOT ( 2 days worth) with normal use and have got as high as just under 11 hours SOT a few times.
If you're not on 10.3.5, can you roll back?
I've heard of battery life issues after updating to the newer versions which is why I'm staying on this one until they work out the kinks
My battery life has improved since my earlier post just as I expected it to The note 5 does last a little longer when I put them side by side but they are both great phones and the batteries last for ages with normal daily use!
I barely use 50% with gaming (currently clash royale) social medias, spotify for around 2 hours and some other stuff plus I'm working 5 days a week so I don't get to see my phone for most of the day anyway

might be a dumb question but, how/when do you charge your phone ? do you wait for the battery to reach 0-10% and charge it back to 100%? or you do the 20% to 80% charge "cycle" ?
I try to charge my phones every night now when I go to bed, The note 5 & 7 are around 50% most days from useage and I charge them from around 8/9pm until I wake for work at 5am (Living the dream)

and what SOT do you get with the 50% usage ?
I am not sure, Because it almost never drops below 50% in a days usage I have stopped looking and worrying about battery life It just lasts and lasts for me.
However I will try and take notice over the next few days and report back if there is anything to report...
