Well here's the drill. I'm coming from a oneplus one with outstanding battery life and Ive had the note for a day now, battery life has sucked so much, so so much and it even lags sometimes, I can literally see the percentage dropping. Every site I check rates note 5 higher for battery life than note 5, which seems odd to me, and I don't know what to do, should I get the nexus 6p or keep this phone and learn to live with it? Is the oneplus one from outer space for that battery life?
You might get some biased answers here since this is a 6p forum but I'd check the battery stats first, see what's causing that drain. Some phones require a few charges to optimize the battery too. Finally, it could just be a faulty model
I researched the Note 5 real hard between trying out an iPhone 6S+ and buying a 6P. I was coming from an S5 and the wife has a Note 3, which we both like quite a bit. Her Note is actually what got me wanting a bigger screen than my S5. But I did read a lot of complaints about the Note 5 battery life (and the glass backs cracking, even saw a display model at Best Buy with a busted back glass). And being I'm Verizon with no chance to root a Note 5, I opted for the 6P. Battery life has been very good with a few tweaks. Browse through the threads here to find what works. And you don't have to go nuts with the tweaks. For me, just running a custom Kernel, using Greenify for a few apps and not installing GasBuddy were all that was needed.
The Nexus 6P is a great device from a software point of view (= guaranteed updates, no Knox or other nasty stuff ) but not very durable from a mechanical point of view. You really have to take care when using this phone because the Aluminum body is weak and prone to warping or bending. That´s the only downside of this device..
I would say if you're looking to switch because of battery life you likely won't find find much relief by switching to the Nexus 6P. Most new high end phones are clocking in 4-6 hours of screen on time. The Oneplus One may have provided you better battery life due to the lower resolution screen, older (probably less power hungry) processor, and tweaks that were part of CyanogenMod. What kind of screen on time are you getting between the Oneplus One and Note 5?
In terms of performance, I haven't seen a single issue with the Nexus 6P, but screen on time maxes out for me around 4-5 hours. The standby time has been much improved in Marshmallow, but that update should be seen soon-ish on the Note 5.
I've found myself in the same boat, the Note is pretty damn good but there are some software issues such as the memory management, bloat and most of all 32gb not being close to enough HD space. Is the warp thing really an issue? I've not heard of anything regarding it.

Yes, it is an issue. I'd be willing to say that almost every device will suffer from it (even if the owner does not realise) mine warped after a day in a case.

Yes, just read through the 'bent after 2 days' thread and that certainly sound worrying. Really wanted to switch over with the annoyances of the Note lately. Is it enough to warrant not switching or something to 'live with'?
You won't notice it honestly, I just make sure I don't sit on it or anything. The phone itself is a lot better than the note 5. Worth the buy if you're careful

If I have any kind of warping on my Nexus 6P I can't see it. The only time warping might be bothersome is if you want to use a tempered glass screen protector, as it will peel away from the display.
Regardless, if you already have a current generation high end Android, you're probaly better off waiting for the next generation. Unless you really got money to burn!
I had the Note 5 before upgrading to the 6P. I am much happier with the 6P, it's better in every way IMO with the exception of the Note 5 having a bit better camera.
I had a OPO and loved the battery life, I went to the N6 and then the N6P and wouldn't even think of any other phone at this point. If you enjoy tweaking, the 6P is the phone for you. Running Cataclysm rom + ElementalX + Pay and V4A, I get between 5-6 hours of SOT, but more importantly for me, I'm usually around 30-40% after my long work day.
I've not had a single issue with any bend or warp. I always put a tempered screen protector on and a very minimal case. I would imagine any thin, larger phone will bend if in your rear pocket if sat on, the IPhone6+ had a similar "issue".

Lucky the note still has good resale value here! Can sell it and pick up a 64gb Nexus for the same price off Gumtree.

I don't think so, but I don't carry my phone in my pocket. I use a NiteIze belt carrier. It did make me opt for getting the phone straight from Google though, so I could get the Google Protect program on it. Cost me a little more to get it that way, but good peace of mind since all the feedback I've read about using that program has been very good.

So far battery life has been excellent for me. I uploaded this for another thread but it may help answer your questions. I should mention that since the last full charge I have not been playing games or streaming video, which might have move the drop-off point up a few hours.
I am sure you can see, there are a bunch of 6P owners complaining about battery life also. My opinion is biased but my 6P seems great with all the stuffs on so far. I would recommend going a full day with location services turned off, google now fully turned off, to see how much drain there is. I came from a Note 4 and that got pretty good battery life with location services off and google now off. I manually turned the GPS on and off when I needed it. Also try removing/disabling as much Samsung and carrier bloatware as possible.
Seriously, what's wrong with the Z5 compact? the Z3 compact was a longhaul wonder but I had to upgrade, since the back cover piece of "glass" was so fragile, it broke several times without much or any force exposed to it. Exchanging it anyway never got it waterproof again.
But the longer the more updates are coming to the Z5 compact, the less it's battery holds and I only got it since March this year!
I make it barely through the day on one charge with 1h of screen on time max!
As you can see in the attached screenshots today it's down to below 30% at 3 o'clock in the afternoon after disconnecting it from the charger this morning at 8 o'clock and I haven't used it much since... 15 minutes of listening to music, occational web searches and e-mail reading. I'm on the latest official Marshmallow (32.2.A.0.253), no root, no bl unlock, all stock!
what shall I do?
sorry for venting a bit...

The latest is .305, upgrade, debloat, post results.
Im having similar issues, same version. Checking for updates tells me that my phone is at the latest version
With latest soft . 305 the battery is better than before.
Same here, this phone is melting the battery like butter under the sun.
Impossible to determine which processus is faulty but it wasn't the case some weeks ago.
Update your phone to .305 (flash it completely)
works on my machine
So I factory reset over the weekend, and did not turn device encryption back on (I had it on previously)... and I've noticed hugely improved performance and battery life, and drastically cooler temperatures. On one hand, it could be that the factory reset cleared something that was causing issues; but on the other, device encryption, by definition, requires more CPU cycles, which will heat up a device and cause battery drain and slower performance.
I know that it sucks having to make the trade-off (if device encryption was a contributing factor), but if you have encryption turned on and have problems with the phone getting really hot, performing poorly, or draining battery, consider turning it off.
Perhaps it would be less of an issue with a different processor, but Sony did stick us with the 810, so... lol
Where in the menu is this encryption?
Yep, hard reset cured my z5c too. Something kept it awake and I couldn't find what. It was over 30 proc. battery drain over night, now it's 3 and 3-5 hours screen on time.

It's not turned on by default, so if you didn't turn it on, it's probably not on.
It's under the Security settings. There are buttons to "Encrypt Phone" and "Encrypt SD Card."
Ever since i upgraded to 32.2.a.0.305 which was a mandatory update; my battery drained a lot faster similar to TS. So I have to factory reformat again? I've done this 3x already since I got my phone back in February. I'm so frustrated right now with Android; I don't even know who to blame; google or sony.
My phone was ok before the october updates; the low power mode would kick in and i could see the power graph go more horizontal as time has passed. Now it is a direct slump down from 6pm (full) to 6am (15%) and I was asleep during this time.
reformat? that will take considerable amount of time. I'm a working professional and I have a family with responsibilities. iOS is looking more and more enticing as the days go by as I use this phone.
I was happy that the z5c has a larger battery and can charge 50% faster (with qc 2.0) but it happens to also drains 2x faster.
Even if android is a superior OS than iOS (IMO); it is so very unreliable and unpredictable. I just want to feel relaxed (peace of mind) that my phone will be available when I need it the most. Now every time I go out I have to think about not forgetting to bring a powerbank; so much for a compact android phone. my powerbank + z5c is bigger than the iphone plus.
I've solved the problem, I'm back on Lollipop 5.1.1 with the 32.0.A.4.11-R3B FW.
The difference is really huge whether in terms of battery, reactivity and useful features. Today the phone have used 15% of battery where it would have usually used 45% in the same time on MM.
I'm like Chadie, I don't know who is to blame, Sony or Google, but this MM fw on the Z5C is a shame.

Yes, it sucks having to factory reset, but I'm a working professional, too, and I found the time to do it on a Sunday morning. It's worth it. Google can restore most of your settings and apps, you'll just have to manually reconnect Bluetooth devices and set up your home screen again.
I was really shocked with the battery life coming from 4.4.2 on my z1c HEAVILY modded/tweaked was getting 2 day battery life and upto 9hrs screen on time (NINE HOURS!).
But yeah I now got the z5c (r.i.p z1c best phone ever) for 60 quid brand new because my mate didn't want it anymore got iPhone instead lol but since I updated to .305 over the past few days the battery has REALLY improved like it's magically calibrated itself or something and I'm getting comfy 1.5days out of it, I don't know how much screen on time as MM doesn't show you anymore but hey I've noticed a massive improvement.

Download GSam Battery Monitor if you want that functionality back. It'll tell you screen time, as well as all sorts of other usage metrics that impact battery life.

I can confirm that factory reset is unfortunately the best solution.
For my work, i had to update a dozen of Xperia M4 aqua, which is famous for poor memory available ( 8gb version).
So i compared reseted and not reseted available memory after update and can tell you there is a big difference.
That's why i now make my best to convince users to factory reset after update.
An updated system will never be as efficient as a clean installed one.

Just following up... after the reset, the battery life, especially at idle, has been rocking. Here's last night while I was sleeping (note that I do not charge my phones overnight, since it's bad to charge a Li-Ion battery to 100% and I wouldn't be awake to disconnect it before that happened):
This is on build 32.2.A.0.305, and the phone is not rooted (it is completely stock firmware).
Compared to z3c this phone is an epic fail.
I'm entertaining the thought of getting a Nexus 6P this 2017. I understand updates will still be that quick and supported by 2018 but I have some questions:
1. Is it true the 6P has some water-resistant powers that it's considered safe to use during light rain or a spill of water or soda?
2. I heard that a "bug" causes the phone to crash or turn off unexpectedly when the battery dips below 10%?
3. Is it also true the wifi and bluetooth can sometimes be erratic?
Need your comments please. Cheers.
I have the 6P Since 20th July..
And non of these issues had with me.
Get the one plus 3.. N6P is too old now

I bought the Nexus6P back in December because it was a great open box deal, and I couldn't be happier.
I've never encountered any of the issues you mentioned at all, and I find it to still be super snappy under normal use, plus the battery is great.
I can't comment on the water-resistance because I try not to allow it to get wet at all; that said, I'm sure you can just youtube people stress testing their poor 6p phones.
I will agree with others here though in saying that it is a bit large - I did want to pixel (not the XL) as it's size is much better, but the price was too high.
So, in 2017 what old flagship would you choose in terms of battery life, overall speed & performance and an excellent camera...a Nexus 6P, OnePlus 3T or Galaxy S7?

Nexus 6P, hands down. Mine consistently lasts all day (about 18 hours) with moderate to heavy usage (browsing XDA with Tapatalk, social media, etc), takes amazing pictures, and is very fast/responsive.
I have no experience with the OnePlus 3T, but my mom's Galaxy S7 was awful. It had horrible battery life, ugly software, and performance was very janky. The cameras were pretty good, though.
You can't go wrong with a Nexus phone. The amazing developers here on XDA keep them alive long after Google drops support.
Problem is I'm not into rooting and I only depend on software updates via OTA.
I also heard about the device freezing, radios (such as bluetooth, wifi, etc.) kept playing up and phone dies after only 15% (or below) battery life.

Even if you're not into rooting, you'll still get OTA updates with the latest security patches/bug fixes months before any other phone. The 6P should be supported up until Android 9.0, so you'd be good for another 14 months or so.
If you do decide to take a walk on the wild side and root after Google drops support, Nexus phones are very easy to unlock, root, and customize.
As for the freezing, I've never experienced this while stock. The only time my device has ever frozen/crashed was due to something stupid I did, like changing the file system, or risky kernel settings.
I don't use Bluetooth, so I can't provide any feedback there, but I can vouch for WiFi being very stable.
The shutdown/battery issues are caused by degraded batteries. There's no avoiding it, batteries are rated for a certain number of charge cycles and wear out over time, but there are things you can do to extend the life of your battery:
1. Don't expose your phone to extreme hot/cold temperatures. Using it in the summer or winter is ok, but don't put it in the freezer to run benchmarks or to keep it cool while installing updates. If you must keep it cool, take it out of its case (if you have one) and place it in front of a fan. I always place my phone in front of a fan when installing a new ROM or anything CPU intensive to keep it cool.
2. Don't use fast charging unless absolutely necessary, such as you're heading out for a hot date in 20 minutes but you only have 15% left. If you're charging your phone overnight, there's no need to use the fast charger. I've been using the 1 amp wall adapter from my Galaxy Nexus to charge my 6P overnight and the battery is just as good as day one with no random shutdowns.
3. Don't play games, install updates, or anything that may cause the phone/battery to heat up while the phone is charging. Browsing the web, listening to music, texting, or other light tasks are fine, but playing Asphalt 8, installing the latest OTA, or whatever while charging will cause your battery to heat up and wear it out faster.
4. Charge the phone while off if possible. The reason for this is when powered on and the battery reaches 100% it stops charging (obviously). When the battery drops to 98% it starts charging again. If you charge overnight with the phone on the 2% drop/recharge will happen multiple times, causing unnecessary charge cycles and wearing out the battery.
5. Try to avoid letting the battery go below 15-20%. Discharging the battery too far too often wears it out faster.
6. If you want to get really anal about this, charge the battery when it reaches 20% and unplug it when it reaches 80%. This counts as only half of a charge cycle, thus extending the life of your battery. There's an app on XDA that stops charging at whatever limit you decide, but I believe it requires root.
I recommend buying your 6P new (if you decide to go with it and if you can find one). When you buy a used phone you have no idea how badly the battery was abused.

I just sold my OnePlus 3T, it was a great phone, the only thing that disappointed me was the camera. If camera was as good as the 6P I would of kept it for another year. It is very poor in low light and bad focus on the simplest shots. I think the OnePlus 5 will be the phone to look to next for a mid priced beast.

My 6P doesn't get hot, even when playing CPU/GPU intensive games like Asphalt 8. The 810 has been tamed on the 6P.
The only good thing 6P has going for it is it's front speakers and the camera performance. Android 8/O wont fix it's short battery life, nor its laughable audio and call quality along with the random wifi connection issues...

Those issues are some most users including myself never have had. Those kind of issues are not device specific either and the battery is actually pretty good for the phones age. The camera is amazing with 4k quality so I don't know what you're smoking and the audio quite actually is pretty decent and doesn't have crackling or tinny sounds. The call quality is actually amazing and very clear even compared to newer phones and my home phone. At times it can be quite but there are mods for that but for general users the audio is good enough. Keep in mind that many issues you may have heard are a small percentage and are usually reports from devices with an old degraded battery and maybe a buggy custom rom. Should I assume you don't have a nexus 6p? Before talking about a phone you don't have try researching about it.
I've been lurking for a few in this part of the forum. I currently own the Nexus 6 and they have reached EOL and was considering a jump to this one. Do you guys recommend it, I'm leery about the bootloop issues and early shut down of the phone but from what I've seen around the forums if you don't have those you guys are pretty happy with the device.

It is one of if not the best phones that came out at that time and is a fairly good price. The bootloop issues are not software related but occur when someone's battery degrades due to having it a long time or not taking care of it and how it is charged. Also the development on this phone including roms and kernels etc is some of the best. It is an amazing phone with no lags or bootloop issues and aslong as you aren't an idiot with your charging you shouldn't need to worry about any issues.

Plus I get to stick with Beans Roms, nothing against other developers as I'm sure they are good too but I've been a user of Beans roms for quite some time. Thanks, I loved my Nexus 6 but since it's only 32 bit it's time is coming to an end.
Hi everybody,
I've have my Axon 7 for almost a year now. Been using it quite intensively, mostly for gaming, taking advantage of the fast charging and going through 2, sometimes 3 battery cycles per day.
For some time how, I've began noticing my phone running slower than before and that it generated more heat doing the usual tasks. I don't know if the slowness stems from the heat or the heat comes from wear and tear on the phone. Anways, I was looking for things I can do to make it run smoother.
- Will be to looking to switch to Lineage OS, perhaps I'll have a bump in smoothness. Do you think that will help?
- Can dust accumulate in the device and make heat exchange less efficient? Should I open it and shoot some compressed air at the motherboard or something?
- Does the heat come from old, overused battery? Will swapping the battery for a new OEM one help?
Thanks in advance!
Wipe the cache or do a factory reset
Check how much storage u got left.
And right, a factory reset or and wiping cashes could help too
Edit: for fast and buttery rom give dark rom a chance.
Hi guys,
I just got a second hand Note 4.
Outer look is in perfect shape.
But, after 4-5 minutes, just surfing the menu and settings, it gets really hot.
I did wipe cache/factory reset, but no change.
Battery seems to discharges fastly...
What do you think ?
2 things could help you.
1. flash a custom rom on your phone.
There are plenty of them right now, in a high level of creation and excellent support in their theads.
pick one from here and try it out.
Custom roms are more effective in handling memory/ CPU and use less background apps, so keep the phone more effectively working and with no so much battery consumption.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev
2. IF even in custom rom, battery seems to discharge very fast, you may need to replace your battery.
If though, none of the above seem to help, you may be stepping in the emmc bug, a lot of Note 4 have had the latest years.
just in case take a look here so make a comparison with the symptoms on your phone
