even if you use it lightly you need to frequently re-charge
I get 2+ days if I don't play with my apps too much. I do use Greenify w/o root w/adb

I guess you are running stock Android 12. Its full of bugs and drains battery a lot. Either downgrade it to 11 or use custom 12 ROM. Here's mine running android 10.

He's just relaying the general consensus re: best practice for battery longevity...it's best to not let your battery get too low b4 charging and only charge to 80% if u need the max possible battery lifetime. Imo that's for those who don't/can't upgrade often and need their phones to last 3-4+ years under heavy use. I try and get a new phone every 2 years so I charge to 90% and 'try' to charge b4 my batt saver activates at 15%.

Oh, my bad. Me too keep my phones for 3-4 years. And I also charge my phone till 80% only. With 100% full charge its a 2 day phone for me. I have a 3 year old iPhone XR and battery health still at 90%.

With light use, I can get 2 days out of this phone. I never could with my rooted s5. I'm thrilled with how good this thing works with light usage.

what s the point of being completely stock or not? it s a well known fact that rooted (aka non-stock) users get the best experience out of android phones...if i wanted to stick with stock i would have gotten an iphone LOL )

My T mobile Note 5 with light uses lasted for 2d 3h 50m after fully charged . I dont know how to add pictures to my post so i'll list my battery usages here.. (navigating with Google map, wifi or data always on, location always on, screen on for almost 4 hours, 1 hour of navigating with gps). It runs a fully stock room and firmware, non rooted, but with some bloatware disabled.

Hi
My estimated usage is 48h 47 min. I have disabled quite a few apps with package disabler pro and only have location settings on when I need to use the phone as a sat navigation.

I've been using my phone very lightly recently and I'm getting good numbers on battery pefromance. I'm not wacthing a ton of youtube vids, twitch, social media, or sending lots of pics or videos. So my phone for the most part while I'm at work is streaming spotify. Sure I'll look up stuff and ebay or social media but not for long. So recenlty light use endurance for me is pretty good. But still doesn't help that while at work, I have 3g and sucks the battery and I have to charge it at least once a day, but considering light use endurance I'll that out of the equation.

When using the Note5 heavily, I can get through an entire day...but barely. Like if phone comes off the charger at 7am and I beat the crap out of it with tons of use, it'll be at around 10% by 8 or 9pm. If I'm going out, I just put it on the fast charger and bam, I'm back up to 50% in like 30 minutes.
I'm getting 8hrs sot, with WiFi running continuous, but mobile data off,I'm moderate user,still my previous phone didn't last me a day,but thanks to this phone now I'm carefree about battery,well at least for me the quest for better battery ends

I just got the phone and am only getting from 7am to 1-2pm, then having to charge you guys must not browse the web a lot and use social media to much.

man this phone battery sucks, i use sometimes facebook, and have some news apps , some youtube, email, and bit of this and that
i charge it overnight and leave home at 8 am
and at 7 pm the phone battery is dead that is such a bad battery i wish to know how the people here praise its battery it really is bad
HI Man, it is as same as me
man today it ran out of battery so fast by 5pm it is dead, and i barely used it . Oh man i feel i did a huge mistake buying this phone
i tried factory restting it and still the same
this is so so so bad that i am so missing my iphone which was working great and had an amazing battery life
and add salt to the injury i ended up buying the sm-n920k which is the korean version and this has no rom support what so ever here on xda
i am so disappointed
For those of you that are having a lot of trouble getting through a day, I'd highly recommend this http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/general/guide-bloating-touchwizzing-note-5-t3184563 because I got at a minimum 150% of my original screen on time compared to when I just got the phone.
Guys i don y know what you re doing but my battery life is amazing. By far the best phone and battery money can buy at the moment. Check it out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=63851201
I'm not sure what you people with terrible battery life are doing. I hardly used my phone today but it's still been on for a while. Switch to T-mobile and put some cool stuff on it. I am by no means an android expert, but the quest for battery life is how I discovered XDA.
My experience is different. With moderate use i drain about 12% an hour. Then again im on the moar rom with no bloatware running in back ground. But heck even with heavy use. I have yet to see the phone less than 50%.
i am not using my phone when i at work and now 16:15pm. unplugged at 07:00am. total 12,5 hours on. SOT is 1 hours and now phone at %37. Heavy AndroidSystem and AndroidOS battery drain. i tried to use my phone without root for one week but impossible. %5 per hour. Battery graphic is going down everytime!!! This is so stupid!! again i will root my phone and i will use custom kernel and again everything will be fine again.
1) samsung dont know how to code a good kernel
2) without root note 5 is worst multitasking phone with huge 4gb of ram
3) without root i cant even delete that never use and never wanted phones by me (facebook or instagram or other bull****s)
4) without root i cannot use my phone without lagfree( because i must disable or delete some useless apps that allways sits on my RAM!!)
5) i paying lots of money and for use a good phone i must forget my guarantie!!
Thanks a lot samsung! note 5 will be my last samsung phone
Actually we must talk about that! Thanks !!

Thnks....
I get very decent battery life, check this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/general/battery-life-discussion-t3178480
I currently have all of the bloatware running, as well. I used to use Package Disabler Pro, but no longer find that I need to use it for battery life. 99% of the time I am NOT using wifi either.
Things I have done (to the best of my memory):
1. Disabled VOLTE
2. Wifi calling
3. Turn off location history
4. Remove Android Device Manager as a Device Administrator
5. Screen brightness set pretty low, but I have it set to auto as well
Probably a couple of other things I missed, but I believe those optimizations have greatly improved battery life on my phone.
Hope this helps.

Any one has this problem after the latest update i have battery drian faster and my phone always has used more than 85% from ram.(Note5 SM_N920c)???
i would say this accounts for heavy use...a little bit of everything but.mostly youtube 1440p videos with almost full brightness...some facebook, browsing,games, etc...only wifi. from this point till i reach 5% i ll use only data to.simulate further heavy usage - so i ll update the info as soon as i reach 5% or so...
my config : darthstalker v5, skyhigh kernel 2.6 undervolted by around -100mv on almost everything, if you want i ll post links to the synapse settings from othe threads...and frequencies locked to a57 min @600 max @2400mhz, a53 min @300 max @1500mhz, gpu 266/600mhz. coming up - only data connection from 51% to 5%.
and here s the end result (so basically 49% spent only on wifi and another 46% spent only on data...

sir im using aosp right now, stand by time us easily 2 days. but i hardly leave my phone on stand by ?
On stock with heavy use I get around 14h out of my M10 pro.
I'd imagine you can easily get 2 days out of it with battery saving and light usage. I was on a camping trip earlier this year and had my Mate 10 in ultra power saving for a day, where it only lost like 7% over the course of 15 hours.
It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Realme 5 Pro before depleting the battery.

Well I got around 7hrs sot with a bit of moderate usage including YouTube,insta,Reddit and downloading few files,all and all I think that's pretty good. And I still had around 30% left at the end of the day.
I di YouTube streaming, telegram, watch videos and some light games. Easily get 8-9 hours of SoT and charging from 10 to 100 only takes 70-80 minutes. Just over an hour. I plug in the charger and keep using the phone and still it charges stupid fast without heating. Both phone and charger stay cool and stay at 40C max. So happy with the purchase. :laugh:
Awesome. I was constantly tweaking my phone and apps from 8 am till now today. That means 10 hours SOT with continuous use and I've still 31% left.
still testing my new realme 5 pro...but on my initial observation, it drains battery even if the phone is on standby mode only w/out any apps running on the background...i disabled Power Saver Mode but the Smart Power Saver is still enabled...i also put it in Dark Mode (system wide and all the apps)...disabled all vibrations and everything (GPS, bluetooth, auto-sync)..since i'm only testing this, i put this on Airplane mode (w/out sims) and disabled WiFi...but it still drains battery (around 1% every 20-30mins)..
i don't want to modify it because it is still under warranty...but if you have any ideas/solutions about this, it'll very much appreciate...thanks

Whew. I wish I knew. I'm really against color os so I don't use it much. I've no idea what version back then but let me tell you that firmware version matters a lot too. On RUI C12 it's quite nice and similar. Though I'm on custom rom and kenrel so I cannot tell for sure.

That is really great stanby time. Reminds me of times when phones would last weeks on a charge....could be a challenge for the MG8P ^^
I will try to max out this light usage with some settings of my own. I don't blive dark mode will make any difference because MG8P has LCD panel however it's easier on the eyes and it's easier for me to read.
I turned off all animations, install lite version of some apps and see what happens on my next charge
^^
Screen shot below.
Dark mode will have an effect on battery, it may by minor however. I have it on dark mode and agree, it is easier on the eye.
My current battery stats from noon yesterday. My usage on dark mode and without animations was inconsistent however I will return to it and see how it works
A day off the battery for me I hope I can go three days
Made it to 10 hours of screen on time
And 2 days of battery damn this phone's battery i
S amazing

About 2 days
