Bought brand new note 5 outright/no contract at Verizon corporate store today. After rep unboxed and activated he handed me the phone but it only had 1% charge. Every phone I have ever purchased came with a partial charge. I made them unbox another and that note 5 also only had 1% so I let it slide. However after some thought a battery should not lose charge when turned off. When you received your new note 5 new did it only have 1% out of box or should I be concerned about a defect??? Thanks in advance

I've "unboxed" 3 Note5's in the past 2 weeks. The first two (AT&T branded) had about 25% each. The import (n920c) had about 8%.
I wouldn't worry about it at 1%. Completely dead I'd be annoyed with. Even then, being the device has only been on the market for a month, they couldn't have been sitting "on the shelf" with a dead battery all that long.
Doesn't VZW give a week or two exchange for new in case of defective devices? If the battery wasn't holding a charge in the first 2 weeks, that'd certainly be a defect...
My Indian version came with 58%
ścribbled from my Note 5
My Canadian Note 5 came with 1% battery as well from Costco. Sales clerk said this is normal with all phones that have a non removable battery.
n920i came with 1%
A battery will discharge over time even when not in use.
n9208 from Taiwan came with 4%
Note 5
I picked up my note 5 at Costco for 19.98. It had 1 percent battery life.
I picked 2 note 5 one came with 14% nad other 1%

Hey guys,
I only got my Note 5 a few weeks ago and I've had issues with charging being inconsistent (even when battery is less than 20%). However an issue popped up last night now that I hope is a fluke. I let the phone charge overnight, and when I woke up this morning the phone never charged past 83%! What the... I'm hoping that after I charge tonight it'll go past 83% but any ideas on what could be cause thing? This is a nice phone but it doesn't speak well of their Quality Control that all these issues pop up. I never had any issue with my Nexus 5 and that phone cost less than half of the MSRP on this phone!
this is a battery defect.. Take your Note5 to the samsung service centre.. Im sure this will get covered in your warranty..
Hi, for some reason my Note 5's battery life is only 12hours and 50mins from full charge. I have to charge it twice a day. Before I never had to charge it twice a day - only once a day. My note 5 is the SM-N9208 (Dual Sim 64GB Silver), Android Marshmallow has not been released for it yet. Is there something wrong with my battery? I bought the phone from an eBay UK seller and PayPal's buyer protection period ends for me today midnight so I need some advice quick. In addition, the fast charging seems to have stopped working with my charger - I am using a UK travel adapter because the fast charger is 2 pin. I appreciate any suggestions on how to fix this. Thanks!
Bump - any suggestions??? I need some advice on this... my 6 month buyer protection ends today
Reboot the phone in safe mode and see if things improve.

I recently sold my phone and got my friends old Galaxy Note 4 (T-Mobile) and immediately started flashing TWRP and a custom rom on it. Now, I've noticed that something fishy was going on with the battery percentage because once it starts to go below between 30% - 20%, it'll immediately cut off and triggers a bootloop until the phone's battery drains. Sometimes when it shows me a low battery notification at 15%, it shoots to 11% right after. I don't get it, is it possibly the battery being defected or the phone itself cause I had a Black Note 4 (under the same network) and it NEVER had these kind of problems and was using the same exact roms (on the proper baseband and kernel). If anyone could explain why this is happening and could give me a solution, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Defective Note 4?
Hello, my father has a note 4, it's 1 year old, and 6 months ago, we got a new battery from Amazon, and it dies at 14% exactly, and when you charge it. It boots up at 14%, but again when removed from charger, it dies at 14%. Not to sure what to do... Old battery does the same I'm pretty sure.
until your phone dies.
After being rooted and debloated and functioning flawlessly, my Note 8 died last night after literally 6 months. While the battery was low, I'm not sure it was so low it would crash and shut down, not returning to life again after several known attempts to revive it.
So, after looking at the Big Internet Thing, it appears this is rather a notable issue associated with the Note 8, with phones crapping out around 6-7 months. Pardon the pun.
While I am receiving another from Verizon tomorrow, I'd advise you keep track of your warranty and pay attention to how your device continues to perform, particularly around charging issues and battery health.

Mine is 8 months old, battery health was 93 when i bought it, today its jumping around 91-89 currently 91.35 . Never let your phone discharge below 20 as it is seen happening...
I have my phone since 22th Nov 2017, so, it is almost 1 year old, and the battery behaves exactly as day one, obviously it must have aged, but, I have never let it drop below 15%, only on rare ocasions I have charged it to 100%, and, what I consider really very important, I have not used fast charge
I installed accubattery just to check the "battery health" , it reports 92%
Update Nov 19th 2018
Now batt health is 96%
I think it's a serious engineering flaw if it malfunctions when charging under 20%.
I also read that one trick that might work is to use wireless charging AND USB charging at the same time.

Been using my N950N since I got mid March and it has been working like a dream. Touch keyboard that I won't experience this issue.
No issue had mine a year
Hi There,
I've had my Note 9 since December 2018 and it has treated me very well. Still does all that I need to do, as fast as I need to do it.
One small problem - the battery life is fully shot. Having to charge multiple times a day. I tried a while back to see if Samsung would do this for me, but they suggested that I wouldn't get much of an improvement in battery life due to software updates etc. I assumed this was sales bs but have found mates to have battery replacements to make a difference.
Therefore - is it worth doing a battery replacement on this device? I get about 5 hours I think at the moment. I would be interested in your experience. Just to add, I've smashed the bank panel pretty badly (everything still works) so probably would want to replace this as well (as they are a fiver on ebay - again purely cosmetic).
Thoughts?
I did it 1 month ago. It's now waiting for the 3rd battery, been for 1 week in the shop. All the new ones ware manufactured in winter 2018 and were weaker than the 2900 mAh left in mine after 3 years, so no.
Fair aha thank you !
By the way, just got the new replacement. It's much better at 3600 mAh after one charge, and I could get around 6 hours of Revanced yesterday with 25% still left.
Interesting - and you have had success with it?
I'm just sitting here googling this very subject. My battery is still pretty good in normal usage, but struggled to get through a full day in a recent hospital stay (when, admittedly, I was using the phone much more than normal). Torn between a battery replacement, S23 Ultra in a few months, or stick it out for another year and hold out for the S24 Ultra. Note 9 is still perfect in every sense (I have the 512Gb version), it's just the battery life is starting to weaken. If, as you say, the genuine replacements are manufactured in 2018, I might just go for the third option and hold out for the S24.
I use AccuBattery for a long time. It estimates my 3 years old Note 9 battery is 74%. I go to service center and change battery. Now it's 100% after a few full charge. I feel significant improvement in battery usage, maybe 1-1.5 hours more on-screen time with same softwares, same usage.
