Hello,
I am a SM-N910C user. I bought my phone and it had 5.0.1. The performance was great, so was the battery life. Then after a month later, I received the 5.1.1 update, updated, then instantly downloaded Wanam ROM. Currently, I am losing 1% of battery every 4 minutes SOT. My cousin is losing 1% every 7-8 minutes, who has a S6. I know the battery life on 5.0.1 is better, right? But not the performance. Also, I have read that 4.4.4 has the best battery life, but what about the performance? I am still new to the Note 4, but I really need help from you brothers on this. I want someone who knows enough about this device to tell me what I will lose or win if I update or downgrade through any of these OS versions. The best will be posted here in the Original Post for everyone else to see.
Thanks in advance!

I have the ATT n910a, and we just got the 5.1.1 update Friday. The battery life now is MUCH better than on 5.0.1. 5.1.1 seems to be very close to 4.4.4, but 4.4.4 may still have been a little better.
AFAIK, the only differences between 4.4.4, 5.0.1, and 5.1.1 is battery life, performance and Stagefright patches.
4.4.4 was slow, but great battery. I'm not sure if it was vulnerable to Stagefright though.
5.0.1 was faster, but had a ton of system bugs, which affected memory and battery. Later patches were made to fix Stagefright.
5.1.1 is the fastest and has most of the major bugs patched.
Other than all that, Lollipop in general brought the new Material color theming.

This thread is for battery life discussion of android 6 Marshmallow.
I took the plunge recently and installed cm13 nightly on my phone after a couple of days with sultan's cm13 ROM. One notice that the android team really got the battery optimisations right this time especially when coming from android 5.1. The cell standby and android system bug is now gone and the phone can now be in standby for a long time. My usage pattern is browsing, reading in Adobe reader, listening to mucisc with bluetooth headphones, facebook, wassup, some youtube videos, sms and few calls. I play farm heros sometimes but I don't play graphical intensive games.
Here are 2 screenshots of my phone. It was charged to 100% at 8:00am on 30/11/2015 and it still has 41% left as at 10:00am 02/12/2015 Granted I have only used it on wifi and I configured wifi to automatically disable 5 minutes after the screen is off.
You can post you battery life too.

If a moderator deem it fit, he/she can close the thread but I felt it will be nice to make a dedicated thread for Marshmallow instead of looking through a big thread to get the relevant information needed for a particular android version.

yes.
It still sucks on mobile data. Nothing changed from Lollipop in regards of mobile data battery drain and i wish google could do something about it.
That's it! It's still on LP niveau
i had around 2 hours of screen on time and less than a day's battery life. The MMS also didn't work with WiFi connected, so I switched back to CM12.
I finally charged the phone today but not before I took a screenshot. My usage is not heavy at all so for heavy users, I guess the SOT will be longer but the total number of hours the phone was on will be lower. My usage did not change form that of 5.1 but I can definitely see a great change in standby time.
Still doesn't beat out KitKat in terms of heavy usage IMO.
The performance(yield) of the battery essuperior to android 5.1. The cycle of load lasts approximately two hours more of screen.

Try Omniron Herna build, it does wonders on my phone regarding battery usage

6.0 has the same battery life as 5.x for me. about 4-5h SoT.
KitKat and early 5.0 builds were clearly better with 8h SoT
Currently running Sultan's ROM CM13:
My battery life has hugely improved when I'm not touching the phone, no one app is draining way to much battery while not in the foreground.
There is one problem some people including me have been experiencing which is that Wi-Fi doesn't switch of properly and drains the battery, the only solution I found was to reboot the device after switching it off.
Not sure if this is a CM problem or the specific rom but not AOSP.
But apart from that battery life is good.
On sultan CM 13 CAF
Getting 4-5 hrs of SOT
Still waiting on a fix for mobile radio active. Had to go back to KitKat after a year on 5.x and a week or so on cm13. The difference in battery is staggering. Here's hoping Google actually finds a solution for the drain, otherwise I'm gonna have to stick to KitKat until I get a new phone.
I dont worry much abt battery charge ..currently on CM13.. dont see much of difference ... expect charge to last for 1 day.. connect to charging when home
Tech guys suggest me best battery rom for OPO don't fun with me by saying cm11s 44s. Almost 1 year stick to cm11 I need some latest android version in my device,
I'm new to xda
Thanks in advance!
Just stole myself this glorious phone yesterday (not really.. got a smokin deal) after 3 years and a month on a Nexus 4 that was left stock the entire time. My OPO is already rooted/unlocked so I'm trying to test out and find the best rom for battery life as both of the cm lollipop and marshmallow roms I've tried are about equal in terms of buttery-ness and just stick with that rom indefinitely.
Is general consensus that cm11 kit kat is far superior to the later cm roms in terms of battery life? Which exact rom would you choose as the last rom you flash onto your OPO ever?

oh screen on time 6 hours with browsing and light resource using gaming
every other rom falls short.
I have to say it was the november builds that got me that. with some tweaking. same tweaking I do on all roms

I'm still on the last August build of PureNexus 6.0.1. Mainly because for some reason V4A works and processes everything whereas Nougat won't process SoundCloud, and xposed modules.
Who else is on MM?
I'm still on stock MM September build. I'm dubious to update after reading about the battery issues on Android 7.

Battery issues? What battery issues? I've been on Nougat for almost 3 months with no random shutdowns, unexplained drain, etc. With Google Now on, location on, and all sorts of other battery draining features enabled my phone routinely lasts 18+ hours with 5+ hours of SOT with 20% or more battery left. My 6P is only 3 months old, so my battery is still basically new, unlike most 6P's out there.
The "battery issues" you hear about are hardware faults, not Nougat issues. It's just a coincidence that they started popping up around the same time Nougat was released.
O Nougat since it came out. No problem whatsoever. Keep in mind the people having problem are little to none.
I was on Nougat for months, but I'm back on MTC20L (6.0.1).

What battery issues? I must have made that up then? Hardware fault, maybe. Coincidence that they appeared at the same time as Nougat, maybe.
My 6P is 12 months old next week, so there is a very good chance that I could be susceptible to the "non existent" battery issues with Nougat. Until I'm sure it is safe to upgrade (it was the same with my Nexus 4.,I delayed updgrading due to issues with updates for that) I'll upgrade.
If it ain't broke is my motto...

Just cause you haven't experienced it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Well how can it exist if one doesn't experience it? The issue is the the rom is the easiest thing to blame when there isnt anything else to blame. I'd narrow it down to app + phone usage. Ive had my phone since it came out and the only issue is its non-functional in weather below 0c. Im using N, on AICP w/ Flash kernal and i exceed 4+ SOT on normal usage. With games its down to 2-3 hours depending on how long or intensive the game is.

If it was a wide spread problem that affected everyone on Nougat, then I should probably be experiencing it.
If you look at the random shutdown/bootloop threads almost everyone affected has had their phones since it came out, which means their batteries are old and worn out. Most of them have reported that replacing the battery/getting a new phone has fixed their issues, which further reinforces my hardware fault argument.
It's easy to blame Google and their software because no one wants to believe that their $500+ phone is defective, but the cold hard truth is it's not Nougat's fault.
This winter my Nexus 6 on Marshmallow started shutting down randomly in the cold, but is that the fault of the software? No. The battery was over 2 years old and had reached the end of its usable life.
I'm on marshmallow because of Xpose. ?

Little to none? 3 months old? You guys are going to wake up from a nice dream sooner than you think lol give a look at the Google bug tracker. More than 2000 people having issues. You're not immune, believe me

I'm still on marshmallow solely for xposed. I want so bad to update but refuse to give up my modules!
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
I'm about to go back to marshmallow. Tired of playing cat and mouse to get adfree YouTube. Suddenly I have ads again. Miss the good old days with the Xposed module to take care of that problem.
Gonna be weird going back, lol.
Went back to September build since it was the last one. Was never actually on mm before since I started updating to nougat immediately after getting the phone. Curious how Xposed would work on the 6p. Great, I'd have to say. I have the phone exactly how I want it. Changed the dpi to 640. No more squinting. Won't be upgrading unless Xposed is also working.
should I downgrade to official 7.0 or stay on beta till 8.0 is released?
I tried beta but wasnt impressed with some of the bugs and battery life, I went back to 7.0 where everything just works and battery is way better, will wait for official beta ROMs,which won't be far away with the official Oreo release sometime this month...I always jumped to early on my other phones, no need to rush though, I just dont think its worth it, am using the extreme debloat ROM from foobar66 and its insane, I get 3 days plus between charges and at least 6 hours SoT I got half this or less on O Beta.

Yes battery life is very poor less than 4 hours SOT with the final beta. And some occasional crashes. Was thinking if going back to official is a better idea. Or wait with beta and receive the official Oreo release one day early. It's ok but not sure how long I might have to live with this battery life:crying:

I had the same dilemma. But couldn't cope with the battery life... Awful...
Whats everybody's recommendation for what ROM to run on the note 4 (mine is A snapdragon). I was using Dr Ketans rom, and that was all really good - fast and snappy, good battery except video was not GPU accelerated! And was a battery drain, or having playback issues. That was the only issue i had with it.
So i went back to the factory Samsung Marshmellow android, but immediately everything was laggier and slower, and the battery drain was horrendous (from 5hours SOT, down to 2hours SOT). Im almost %100 sure Samsung intentionally made it that way to force users to upgrade. But i dont want to let them win! since these phones have removable batteries to keep them going for some time yet!
So what is everybody elses using? I really like to use the pen for taking quick notes which may rule out lineage?
Thanks
Uhm, I don't get 5 hours of SoT on any rom, maybe 3-3.5 hours if I'm lucky. Did you manage that on "Dr Ketan's rom"?
On terms of usage experience, I'd recommend Resurrection Remix.

yeah i was managing 5 hours SOT and i think once or twice hit 6 hours. May of been on kit kat before i used dr Ketans Rom, but all i know is going back to samsung stock Marshmellow was a big mistake.
I should have some screenshots somewhere to show those SOT times. I really ran things bare minimum though. I will give Resurrection Remix a go thanks.
Anyone else have any feedback? please share.
