I finally have had my note 5 for a few days and so far it's really good! There is something that is really bugging me though and that is the standby time of this phone is horrible! And I'm sure it's not hardware related because:

This is definitely not normal, and it has always been like this from day 1. Idk why, but system and cell standby along with android OS are all using more battery than the screen. There is no doubt that the screen should be the greatest power draw by far on this phone, so that means there is something wrong here...draining my battery during sleep!
Anyone have any ideas as to what's happening?

Turn off VOLTE and WiFi calling.
What theme is that?
I tried doing that, and left my phone overnight at 95%. I woke up today and found it drained to 88%, Cell Standby and Android system being the top two equal drainers.

search for the thread about debloating the note 5 using package disabler. totally fixed the battery problem on my note.
This is what package disabler did for me. I'm more than happy, and is not even an aggressive setup. And Is not that I lost key features eother. The app has done wonders with my battery life.

Its dropped 1% per 2-3minutes. It has to be an app or something but GPS BT WiFi all off screen 50%. I killed apps I'm not using. Wtf? Should get 8-9hour screen time at least 7. Plead help

That to me looks most likely some setting and ROM issue. Make a backup flash another ROM try how it goes but am pretty sure Any other ROM shouldn't drain this much. Don't want to judge any ROM or anything just trying to help.
What battery model is it? Some of the extended batteries going around are just regular cells in a fat case with shims, especially the cheaper ones.
I have a new phone 2 weeks old and from day 1 I've had horrible battery even with minimal use. usually I can get through a work day and that's it. I work in construction so I have no wifi. I turn off Wifi,NFC,Data,GPS,Bluetooth, and set screen brightness to lowest setting unless i'm using them. But keep in mind I'm rarely using my phone except for breaks which i put it on the charger. Here are some pictures that may help decipher the problem. At first glance I have a "wake lock". I'm stuck at 384MHz. I've had a wakelock on all my roms for some reason. Sometimes its the media app sometimes its android system...Currently I'm on Barebones CM10 but I've had most of this forums roms\kernels on my phone after a full wipe and even after some odin stock. I'm kinda lost as my sister who got the phone a day after me has great battery life and my friends say they can get up to 2 days if they aren't using it. i don't believe the 2 days comment, but still his battery life isn't as bad. I'm not crazy right? Also, I'm not sure why all the time running aren't the same

For some reason today, my battery is being drained by my screen. I turned the brightness down a few hours ago, but it still drank the juice like koolaid. I've never had to adjust screen brightness on this phone before, just left it on automatic. Seems kinda odd.
The only changes have been deodex framework/system and extended power menu.

If you just deodexed the drain is probably from the cache being rebuilt. I'm not sure if that shows in the battery screen as what can be draining it. Or if the system logs it as the screen draining the battery since no apps are running

This... plus, the screen is always going to be the worst suckor of your battery. At least it is for me!
That's just what colorboost is about. That's why Moto switched back to Super Amoled in the latest lineup phones.
So i have been experimenting with roms/kernels in the past few days and have noticed android system is almost using as much battery as the screen. What causes this? I never had this problem before I rooted. I am currently at 69% and my screen on time is only 1 hour. I have tried many kernels and I can't get any more battery life out of the phone. Other than the obvious stuff, what can i do to get better battery life?
You have to show us the BBS log. (Better battery stats) for wakelocks.
I only get like 16 hours of battery life and I could really care less because even if I was left at 60% when I went to sleep it would need to be charged or I would potentially be left with 20% the next day assuming I had the exact same usage and that isn't comfortable so I charge every night.
Keep in mind your cell signal. You can also switch off mobile data or switch to edge or 3g instead of LTE.

I'm on Purity ROM 5.02, Code Blue, Banks minimal. My n5 use to sleep 99% of the time, now it won't deep sleep at all. Can anyone tell from this what's keeping things on? It drained 25% last night in airplane with wifi off, which is normally 1-2%. No new apps other than layers.

It's probably the system update service wakelock. Pretty much all ROMs are having the issue with the new play services.
