the problem is this:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=165558
since i am in wifi battery is perfect as always. as soon as i am in 3g battery goes down immediately.
it doesnt matter if i try not to use an app or not.
is there a real fix for this?
or a custom rom with a patch for this?
my note 4 is dying at 4 oclock pm...is terrible!!!
thanks!
Well. You can fix it in three ways - downgrade to kit kat, buy a spare battery (that is what I did - original Samsung battery kit with external charger) , or wait for marshmallow to be released.

Hi all,
So I recently bought a new genuine note 4 Battery off of Amazon (bargain at £12!) and I'm just wondering about what's the best way to start using it?
The reason I ask is currently i'm currently running stock 4.4.4 BTU (before I was running 5.01. BTU) and I have the issue with the battery either going from 15% to 0% in minutes or sometimes it just turns off at 10% (like literally the phone just dies)
I've tried everything from a restore, new firmware, old firmware and event reset the battery status via the service menu. I'm just worried that i'll insert this new battery and may have the same issues, perhaps I'm looking into things too much?
Or should I give one of the new 5.1.1 roms a go?
Thanks.

ive only had that battery issue when i was using an old iphone 4s, i think a new battery should behave like a new battery and not have magic disappearing charge %
Yeah, I think it might just be the battery. Give the 5.1.1 roms a go. I installed one on my Z2 and it was better battery wise. I am still waiting for the update on my Note 4 G variant, I hope it will also make things better.
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.

Hi All Respected Members,
I have Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 since last March. The phone was working fine when I purchased it.
I exactly dont remember what was firmware installed that time but I have updated my phone to Lollipop 5.0.1 in November and all sudden my phone started creating problems.
Phone set always remain hot from camera and board as well.
Battery drains so fast.
Charging to 100% done in 4 - 5 hours.
Loads of lags during working.
These are few I am listing here. Then I have read a forum here and did everything same and downgrade to kitkat 4.4.2
Link is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/general/i9505-downgrade-5-0-lollipop-to-4-4-2-t3052472
Now, new problems.
Still set remain heatup all the time.
Battery drains so fast even on standby.
Battery lasts only for 7 hours without sim as well.
Charging time is 4 hours.
Now personally I want to sale my set as I have ruined my load of energy and all in vain. I dont want to root my set please.
Can anybody suggest me any stock rom link so I can enjoy my set again please? The most stable firmware.
I want to flash stock again please.
Below is the link to images of my cell. Please review

I'm referring to the battery drain bug that keeps the radio on, introduced by Google in Lollipop and which continued to this day (thousands of reports):
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=165558
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=190396
I have a Galaxy A5 and have this bug too with Lollipop (but I can downgrade to Kitkat). I'm considering buying a Galaxy S6.
- Can KitKat be installed on S6? (KK does not have this bug)
- Is there any S6 rom (potentially compiled from modded sources) which patched this bug?
Cheers in advance!

no and no...but you still have the fast charging feature which make the battery drain not a big deal (i know it is really bad bug)
What about this patch? It was made into an Xposed module as well.
EDIT: I just found reports of Galaxy S6 owners who report that the Xposed module fixed it for them:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62604167&highlight=galaxy+s6#post62604167
So it looks hopeful. I may bite the bullet and try it.
It seems that CM is going to implement his patch and the devs found it to improve things: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/107828/
There's no bug on S6.
But if you want a good battery performance, you shouldn't buy S6. It has a terrible battery life.
No drain for me with forcedoze app, no root
The two google code bugs I linked to in my 1st post show plenty of reports saying S6 is affected by the radio on bug the same as other devices. It's a bug in the OS that is triggered only if 3g/4g radio is used for data, the radio is never switched off after that.
If you never activate 3g/4g data then you will not see a problem.
I've never had an issue with this bug, or atleast the drain hasn't been noticeable. s6 MM 4-5 hours of SOT a time
Check this thread.
The Android OS battery draining bug still exists on my S6 even after two factory resets.
Hi, i have SM-N910U device and the original new battery. But, why my battery draining so fast? Currently i using MM 6.0.1 official. Not rooted device. I’ve done lot of things to keep battery stable. But it seems not working. The battery drained so fast. This is malfunctioned of seri U or what? Thanks for the answer
What do you mean by "original new battery"? Do you mean the original battery that came with the phone? Or you have recently purchased an "original new battery"?
If you have recently purchased a battery it is almost guaranteed not to be an original Samsung battery as they do not make them any more - it is probably fake. Buy a RavPower battery and see how it goes. Same if you're still using the battery that originally came with the phone - get a RavPower. You might also want to try a factory reset and set your phone up clean again - this made a big difference to mine about a year ago when my battery was draining fast.

Three possible curlpits: Your apps, the battery, or the firmware
Battery—fake battery will die fast, according to what others say
Apps—some apps are battery hungry, so find a way to hibernate those with Greenify or Hibernation Manager
Software—Android 6 is the last and worst update for performance and battery life. While it's on KitKat (4.4), its battery life was awesome; fast forward to Lollipop (5.0.1–5.1.1), from 12 hours of Screen On Time (SOT), it got decreased to 8 hours; and fast forward again to Marshmallow (6.0.1), it became from 8 hours to 3 hours. No matter what kernel or battery-saving methods you use, it's futile for a firmware that rots a powerful phone. The only way to fix this is by either using a custom ROM (Refined Nougat, Note 5/7 ported ROMs, etc.), or downgrading your firmware. (Installing KitKat with the latest bootloader prevents you from downgrading).
With a new battery on MM stock and unrooted I was getting 6 hours SOT (Exynos). Dropped off now after using the battery for 18 months, but soon upgrading to Note 9 or 10 anyway.
