Battery Life

Hi guys.
I was searching our forum and I couldn't find a thread like that.
At first I was unsure for the battery life as I received the phone and I have charged it like twice a day but you know. New phone and would like to have a fun with it and tested. After a month I still think a battery life isn't perfect but with my use it's satisfies me a lot.
Here is my stats after a day. If I turn on a stamina mode and turn off data transmision and wifi, battery should last another half a day or even longer.

As you can see I do not have a stamina mode on. I have no idea why that fecking phone app is the most used app. I don't call much. Like 5 calls a day that last for minute or two isn't much. Maybe that because I have data transmision on ? Even if I'm at home and using wifi.
How's your battery life look's like ?

The battery life is directly dependent on the user.
A light/moderate user will have battery backup up-to two days. While an Heavy user wouldn't.
So after all the battery of the device is nice but not upto the mark acc to me
My battery some time lasts for 2 days with Root applications like Greenify/Trickster Mod etc

I had already made a battery management thread a long time ago. This thread doesn't make any sense.

Greenify is very awsome...
also (for what reason ever) it saves a lot battery if you set a screenoff profile in setcpu with low frequency...
and when you avoid closing apps from ram or cache it also saves battery because cpu doesnt need to start apps again.
There is even the theory that setting performance governor saves battery because all actions are finished the fastest possible and so the phone returns to sleep earlier.

my battery lasts a day and has mostly about 30% after, and even now in holidays when i am not working and using it a lot its still enough... I am not using Data but play a lot of music (BT or headphones)

I knew you were from Ireland when you said "fecken"
I spotted the phone app eating the battery sometimes too.so I restart the phone and it stops the phone app eating the battery
I don't know cause of it And why it keeps the phone awake

I agree with what you say, it is dependent on the user. You occasionally see people posting screenshots with 3 days battery and 50 smileys :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh: and I just think... did that person leave their phone in their pocket/on a table for 3 days? That doesn't impress anyone and it is a fake representation of the battery.
Battery details like this really help:
- screenshot of battery
- screenshot of SCREEN ON TIME
- a brief mention of usage e.g. 30 minutes per day of watching video, 3 hours internet, 1 hour gaming
- use of battery saving apps or not e.g. greenify, stamina mode, juice defender etc.
Those details really help.
Does anyone else have similar usage to me? I'm trying estimate what battery time might be normal for me.
- about 2 hours of internet every day. It's mostly news apps, read some email and a little browsing
- I don't use games on my phone much, typically 0 minutes per day
- Maybe about 15 minutes of calls per day
- I might send 10 texts per day
- I might take 2 pictures per day with the camera, no more
- Stamina mode active
Would I get more than 1 day usage?

Using BetterBatteryStats App will be really useful bro...

Battery life is is bad now. 4+ hour wake time.

So I had great battery life not too long ago but now I can barely make it a whole day. My awake times are very high and I can't pinpoint the cause. I attached some wakelock detector info. Right now I have about an hour and a half of screen on and 16% battery left.

I am having same issue with phone getting really warm. No new app installs other than things like wakelock detector. I can't figure out what is causing it and better battery stats isn't showing me anything.

Add me to the list. Never needed my third battery until yesterday. No out of the ordinary modifications.

Try freezing maps and other not needed Gapps, it solved my long wake times. I also use Tasker to hibernate all my apps then put the phone in airplane mode when the screen turns off then waken them up and turn wifi back on when the screen comes on, battery life through the roof

So what's a normal awake time?
I've had battery problems in the past with other phones but usually wake lock detector can find the offending app. Nothing is jumping out at me this time. Google seems to be using a lot but I would like to keep using those apps unaffected.

Same here I took my phone off the charger at 10pm by 1am I was down to 37% with 17 min of sot, something isn't right, I'll try to grab ss tonight. And yes the phone gets really hot

I just had my G3 replaced after my new one suddenly died on me.
I notice a couple of subtle software changes by AT&T.
Yesterday my battery was on 60%. Before I left the office.
When I got home (45 minutes) I took the phone out of the pouch and it was really hot and the battery wad won to 19%.
First time this has happened to me. Will have to monitor.

I got fed up with it all. I did a factory reset. I'm going slowly re add apps back. I certainly noticed a performance bump after the factory reset. Night and day. I didn't even realize how much it slowed until i reset it.

wake lock detector isn't really a good app for telling you exactly what the issue is. betterbatterystats is your best bet to find out exactly what the issue is - it will tell you precisely what the issue is holding your phone awake.
Sometimes, shutting down and pulling the battery out for a second is all it takes to fix the problem. rebooting doesn't always solve whatever it is...

My phone "freezes" now and again, it always has something to do with me texting, but screen off and on will fix it..and it does get warm when frozen per say...but it will normally fix itself with me interacting with it. But if your guys are not holding it when it happens I can see it draining out your battery stuck at higher clock for no reason...now wonder if I should pull logs....
When I say interact I mean I have to push the power button. Knock on won't work. Similar to the dreaded sleep of death but seems to pull out of it.

Like another user mentioned pulling battery or at least resetting the phone periodically helps with battery and helps keep things running smooth. Using Better Battery Stats and looking at Alarms and Partial Wakelocks is a good way to determine if there is a rogue app killing your battery. A couple good Xposed Modules, if you're not using them or aware of them, are Greenify to help hibernate apps that like to constantly wake the phone and NLB Unbounce module is a good one for if you want to keep your location on and keep Google Now functionality. You can set how often you want the wakelocks and alarms to trigger and with the donate you can do the same with any wakelock/alarm. Just be cautious if using the pro version as some alarms or wakelocks if disabled or tinkered with incorrectly could make the phone unstable. Just a few tips/ideas. I have the VS985 and have had pretty good battery life since getting everything set up and debloated. Usually about 17-18 hours on battery (I don't sleep much) and 4-5 hours screen on time. I like the screen on the brighter side as well, which usually I adjust with the status bar so I don't have an exact percentage for the brightness. For some other tips and apps or even maybe something you haven't thought about check out this thread: G3 Battery Tweaks :good:

Factory reset.

I noticed my phone was getting warm in the pocket too, with bad battery life. I finally figured out the phone was waking as if it thought it was getting the 'double tap' to wake. I believe you can disable the double tap in the secret menu (3845#*850#)

Help finding/fixing idle battery drain

Hi my wife bought a Note 5 two days ago (9/30). She did all setup, app restoring, etc that evening and fully charged the phone overnight. However her phone is experiencing idle drain that I need some help fixing.
Some other info: battery saver modes are off, wifi is always on (but only connected at home), bluetooth is always off.
10/1: Arrived at work with 100% battery
A little over 4 hours later, with light use, the phone was at 51% with less that 45 mins SOT

With facebook as the biggest offender I suggested she turn off the setting of pre-loading pics and videos.
When she got home she charged phone to 100%. I also changed mobile network to CDMA/LTE. Here's how the battery looked with light use before going to bed:
10/2 - Left the phone unplugged over night to see what would happen, it lost 12% sitting on the nightstand for 8 hours.
Will report back later this afternoon to see how the day is progressing.

First step for me in reducing battery drain was to disable the Facebook app. It is a battery hog and was always at the top of my list. Instead, use a browser and create a shortcut to facebook.com or install Metal from the Play Store which is a web wrapper for Facebook and so much lighter. Sometimes I still get strange battery drain from Android system (up to 35% sometimes!). But this usually gets resolved just by opening up recent apps and closing all.

Hmm, I don't have problems with Facebook app on my droid turbo

Some people want notifications.

Regardless, Facebook doesn't seem to be showing up at the top afte the setting change. I'm interested to see what she has this afternoon. Will have some updates screen shots later on. I also asked her to charge ~3pm then drive home with nav on to see what the battery looks like under heavy usage.
I need to dig into Android System to see what's going on there, any ideas? Will GSAM pro give more insight here?

Not looking good, 22% used in 2.5 hours with 20min SOT

Where is the setting for turning off preload pics and videos in Facebook? I dont see it in the facebook app settings.

I lied, facebook setting is "play videos automatically", I have to assume turning this off will save data/battery. Also Instagram has "use less data" setting. I thought I read that this stops pre-loading of videos/images, but I might have imagined that?
Anyway, for facebook setting hit the menu button next to the notifications icon then scroll to "App Settings" near the bottom of the screen.

After most of a work day and light use she's down to 58%. Looks like facebook is back up there, odd because it's not a problem on my phone.
Does anyone know how to troubleshoot why Android System is using so much battery?

I have a note 4 and I'm having similar issue ls

You guys have to also take in consideration the Lollipop total connection time bug. Apps open up a connection and it won't close it when it's done... For example my first charge cycle I signed into instagram and it used 40% of my battery without me ever open again. The total connection time of most apps ends up being hours when it shouldn't be. That won't be fixed untill Marshmallow comes to the Note 5. Google is aware and has fixed it. It's on multiple Lollipop devices.

If the device is rooted then you can try Greenify to hibernate the apps which are consuming the battery life.Try other simple solutions like disabling the Wifi and other tools when not using them.Sometimes Play services may cause the issue so try to fix them.There are some guides which may help you http://fixdroidbattery.net/fix-fast-battery-drain-problem-on-samsung-galaxy-note-5/
http://recomhub.com/blog/how-to-fix-samsung-galaxy-note-5-fast-battery-drain-problem/
Hope these guides will help you

The problem is ...because of the device used to be root although we flash original stock firmware it is still drain when device idle ...you can take a look in Android OS and see stay awake period ...one way is flash custom room that said deep sleep fix . Hope this comment could deal your problem

And I want to know if I install kernel blu spark, will it help me to get better battery life?

same problem with nighties too :/

My CPU runs about 10-12 degrees C hotter too. There are many ways to limit battery drain, just have to search for them.

No Hotplugging
I used to have the same problem with CM kernel. Turned out when I checked the kernel using kernel auditor, there seems to be no CPU hotplugging features which accounts for the batter drain and the high temps. Try using blue sparks kernel. Its MUCH better for battery and temps.

Thanks for your reply. I installed blue sparks kernel but battery is still getting drained ! I installed kernel auditor and I see CPU hotplugging is disabled. Should I enbale it without making any change in details?

Yeah shouldn't be disabled in the first place

I'm on the 11/18 nightly and have battery comparable, if not better, than stock. No custom kernels. Bluetooth and wireless always on. GPS always on, device only. Standby excellent. Always used delta gapps. I deny Google data access on what I can (history, location, ect), but let sync on contacts, calendar, keep, ect. No greenify or anything like that. Email sync on auto push.
My use today at 12 hrs (730am-745pm) is 1.5hr screen on time auto brightness and slider in middle, 2 hrs playing audio through bluetooth, in an area with no cell signal for about 4hrs, maybe 30-45 mins talk time between Bluetooth and handset. Still have 75% battery left.
Edit: just checked my wife's phone (on factory firmware), unplugged for about 7 hrs. She has 1 hr 40 min screen on time and down to 77%. Not sure about usage, she might have been streaming videos or something.

How man i cant get past 4hsot in my best days

It will vary with everyone. We use our devices different. Connectivity comes into play..what apps you have..what's running in background. I average 8hrs screen time but me posting what I have done is not going to get the same results as the next person. Screen on times are great but are people actually using the device or just watching a few movies that are 1hr30min. Are they just watching YouTube videos over and over, or do they have so many things disabled what was the point to getting a flagship device. So for me I use adb app control to disable At&t bloat, use a darker wallpaper, have some apps set to not run in the background. But I do not disable a ton of stuff. But again how I use my device is not the same as the next. But a week ago I did use the crap out of the device just to see what it would do, and I did get a 9hr screen time. But again I watched a lot of YouTube

None of this means anything unless people post their settings, specifically refresh rate, resolution, brightness level (auto or other), etc.
I'm getting about the same on 5.0 as I did on 4.1. I can get 6 hours of screen on time, 1440p, 120hz, auto brightness, although I am using the extra dim feature, but auto is still checked.
If I didn't have the Facebook app I think it would be a lot better honestly but I am using it. Oh well.

That was my point everyone uses device different. I turn off 5G and use Lte because where I live it's very spotty. Brightness at about 40%

Honestly little debloating. The biggest thing on mine is I keep high refresh off and have apps that would constantly sync in the background put in deep sleep. Depending on where I'm at I'll turn off 5G. The main thing is I made sure all the T-Mobile garbage is turned off and that the actual Facebook app isn't installed. I tend to keep my brightness around ~30% as I spend the day either in my place for work, or at the gym where it isn't overly bright.

I forgot to mention I'm on an unlocked version of the phone, not a carrier variant. And every time i update my phone to a newer firmware I clear the cache. Honestly makes a huge difference.

This is me. I can not complain tbh.

27% left,only WIFI usage.

This is mine.
Power Saving on.
Full 60hz.
DNS66 full active
Routines On (Example; When I came to home, turn on WiFi, network 2g etc)
84 Application installed. 79 is deeply sleep.(except for; DNS66, WhatsApp, Telegra, Instagram, Twitter, Spotify, Firefox, Some Good Lock Apps etc)
No debloat
Dark mode on
SwiftKey dark keyboard

***S908U1***
I'm on 4th day since update to OneUi 5 and I think the S22U is still figuring things out.
100% -> 15%;
*23.5h of usage;
*5h 15min SOT;
*Mostly on WiFi, but keeping network on 5G;
*120Fhz, 1080p, adaptive brightness (but I find myself turning it down manually as it goes too bright);
*Most apps which don't trigger notifications are in deep sleep as well as location turned off for them or while on only;
*Usage mostly WhatsApp, Youtube, Instagram, Browser.
