Terrible Battery Life on Stock

Hey guys,
I am having trouble getting through a single day lately. I don't recall exactly when it started, but the phone is only 6 months old so I can't imagine its a dying battery already.
Today I am seeing the following. Screen brightness is at about 60%. I'm completely stock, unrooted, running 5.0.1. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

15 hours with 2.5 hours SOT is even remotely good? Man my Note 3, and Note 4 before the last month or so, would easily get a day and a half with 4+ hours SOT. If this is the new normal, color me unimpressed.

Did you do a factory reset after updating to 5.0.1?

Ditch TW got easily 6 hours SOT running CM 12 yesterday. Until Samsung fixes the bugs in lollipop its just not worth messing with it.

I'm getting similar results. I'm looking for a fix if anyone can help. Is there a way to test the battery to see if something is going wrong?

BAD ASS NOTE 4

I'm actually experiencing this on stock and custom ROMS. I'm about to ODIN the phone. Tried factory resetting and wiping every single storage partition on the phone (minus obvious stuff like /EFS). Nothing helps. My phone also gets hot underneath the camera randomly when doing menial tasks. I'll let you know if ODIN helps.
I also came from a Note 3 which got great battery life, even on Lollipop. Remember that we've had Lollipop a few month before you Note 4 guys got it. OP is right. Something is seriously wrong with Lollipop on the Note 4.

Phone getting hot is normal once I rooted. Runs cooler on stock kernel tho

Yeah, I actually noticed that actually. Once I flashed the stock COD6 kernel, the phone generally ran cooler (it would get hot for short periods of time, but never as hot or as frequent as with custom kernels like Emotion or Bioshock).
I just got done ODINing the phone. It's on the first bootup, on the T-Mobile splash screen. Hopefully this takes care of it. The previous owner never rooted it. It came with the official Lollipop update. When you take OTA's, it patches the system, so hopefully the issue is caused by a bad update.
I noticed one wakelock on before I ODIN'd (and hopefully no longer) was msm_hsic_host, which is modem-related. The modem wakes up every now and then to check on the status of the phone's connection to the network. However in my case, after having the phone unplugged for 4-5 hours, there would be a 1 hr 45 minute wakelock with little usage.

I believe its the only way until coc manage its resolution scaling differently. And even then...on android 5.0 to 5.1 they display differently. Looks better standard dpi on 5.1 than it did before

Damn my s2 is late version and I was reading they don't have root for it yet
Sent from my SM-T817T using Tapatalk

Yeah, resolution is a little messed up. But my main thing is the screen is way too sensitive.... when farming, trying to drop multiple troops at a time just makes the whole thing zoom in... it's not even playable because the screen touch is way too sensitive... it's obviously more than capable of running Clash.. I just don't know how to reduce the sensitivity... maybe get a plastic screen cover or something....

Ive heard people say that aswell i dont seem to have that problem as much my thing is it looks soooo bad now im leasing a tablet that i dont even use basically cuz of how horrible it looks i usually just play on the phone and until they come ojt with lte version root i dont really have any options
Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk

Ive had the same problem. Hoping for a solution soon but there is a work around. If you reboot your tablet and start COC it will properly scale in full resolution and it looks insane on this tablet (i have the 9.7). Sometimes you have to reboot more than once but usually once will do it. As long as you don't kill the app the proper resolution will stick. If you kill it in task manager or hit the back button until you get the 'Exit Clash' prompt it will revert to low rez the next time you launch it. Every now and then (seems like once a week or so for me) it will randomly revert back anyway. So weird. Then you reboot and you're good again. FYI switching users on the tablet (multi profile) will break this which really sucks for me cause i have multiple clash accounts. Anyway this solution has kept me at bay. Hope it helps others.

Crazy battery drain when Idle

Hey guys, I am having issues with battery drain and not sure what to do, my note wil lose about 30% battery overnight(about 7-8 hours) and last night it lost about 50%
At first it said that google app used alot of battery so I disabled the reccomanded things online(it's location and such), now it isn't draining as much.
Also my location doesn't use GPS, at night I always have maximum reception and yet I lose alot of battery to cell reception, also the other 2 you can see in the picture.
Hope someone can help, and thank you!

Nearly the same problem since MM. Sometimes 4%/hour when laying next to my bed during the night.
Tried everything like Wifi choices. Something also keeps my phone awake for at least an hour.
I hate factory resetting....

Factory reset is about 2h of work for much better performance. Just do it - use Google Photos, back up other stuff to google drive and sync, and you're done.

Factory reset only helped me for a couple days. Just the other day I lost almost 75% overnight with minimal apps installed and debloated. I've tried many combinations of WiFi on/off, HD/WiFi calling on/off, but the drain always comes back. Factory stats and gsam don't show anything out of the ordinary. It's been like this since Marshmallow.

Nope, all packages enabled before accepting the MM update. I forgot to enable them for this last small OTA just the other day, but I haven't noticed a change.

That's surprising. I've had better standby after mm. Hardly 3% in an 8 hour night. 5.5 hours consistent screen on with relatively heavy usage.

I'm assuming the update will fail. I would guess the OTA has some sort of check before installing.

I did a factory reset, it did not help in the end :\

I have the impression that completely stopping Location services makes a difference, inclusive this option to Scan wifi.
I now have, on idle(!) 2.1 % per hr loss. Sync still on and also Wifi. But no automatic updates.
Pls feedback about this

Correct, I forgot to enable the disabled packages for the latest OTA from Verizon. Everything went fine, as far as I can tell, but it wasn't a "major" update (still 6.0.1, no version change/update), just a few bug fixes.

That is amazing, 0,375% per hour. I never in my life succeeded in that. Ok, with first Nokia maybe.
I sometimes got a .7% per hour drain,but that is my absolute minimum.

Yeah. On lp it was an easy ten percent + every night. I think the combination of package disabler and the dose on mm got something right going on.

Greenify
Hi guys, i'm actually from over on the s6 edge plus part of xda and a lot of us are having the same issue with idle battery drain
I fixed this on my s6 edge plus by installing greenify and activating aggressive doze. It's by no means a permanent fix but it does the job. Since the note 5 is like the s6 edge plus's brother in terms of hardware and similar software give this a go and let me know if it helps
Have a look at the screenshot i uploaded if you are unsure

New Update stops the ability to keep paid themes from theme store.......

Prior to the new Note 7 update (green battery icon) You were able to download a paid theme from theme store trial and keep it applied by Downloading Samsung Package Disabler and disabling both theme programs after applying the trial and then going to applications and clearing the data on themes and cache and it would stick permanently until you disable everything and reverse the process. This no longer works with new update. System only allows you to clear cache and not theme data anymore.........Samsung is cracking the whip, think there is any way around this? I loved changing my theme frequently.

So your mad that Samsung patched how users were getting paid themes for free? I'm sorry but they did what they had to do because those themers worked hard on their themes for the community and because of it i don't see why a little bit of change out of someone's pocket is something a person should be getting mad about. Just pay for the themes instead of trying to find a way around it they don't even cost that much especially when you own almost a $900 phone.

@jovy23...question bro...i got the new note7...didnt update though...does the root method still work if update is taken?

Be careful what you say on here I mentioned a nap one day that I use to remove ads but it also allows people to get free coins which I really don't care about but because I mentioned that app I was reprimanded. Then you can get yourself banned XDA. Just a heads up..

Thanks. Weird cuz I read about that method on these very same forums lol But I understand what you're saying. I'll be a little more careful.

Still working, need to clear the cache and data, from the same package disabler.
Just click the themes and samsung themes apps in the same package disabler and clear data from there after disable it.

Samsung is permanently crippling the Note 7 in the U.S.

You knew it was coming in the USA and it looks like December 19 is the day.

When you reboot the device it will do the updates on one of the reboots.This is true even if you "delayed" the update.
There is a way to prevent the previous update (you can see on this forum). Unless they found a way around that work around good chances that the same work around would work for this update. I would recommend doing the work around now and before this update.
The work around for previous update. Hope this will work for this update too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-note-7/how-to/updated-limited-to-60-heres-fix-t3495293

I read someplace today that Samsung made a request to the makers of all package disablers on the Playstore to block the Note 7 from being able to take advantage of this... I'll try and find the article.

The one i found isnt supported by the playstore and still has the update packages. Look at the link JaguarXT posted

I highly doubt all the apps are getting on board. I used titanium to block a lot of samsung crap before this and I never got the last update and I won't get this update either.

According to what I read, T-Mobile will be pushing the update on December 27th, that's what CNET is reporting. It also mentions the dates for AT&T as well as Sprint.

Yep I got text from tmobile says starting 27 phone won't be able to charge so turn it in.

Looking like it's time to find a replacement, sadly nothing seems up to par

It will seem like a bold change from what I know and am used to but I'm considering the Honor 8. The specs don't seem to bad for the price point. But it's definitely not a Note 7. I was thinking about going back to the Note 5 but I don't even see it available on the T-Mobile website anymore.

I highly doubt all the apps are getting on board. I used titanium to block a lot of samsung crap before this and I never got the last update and I won't get this update either.

That's because you had the good foresight to root, unlike some of us (pointing at myself). Samsung strong-armed all the package disabler devs on the Play Store to no longer block System apps! The way around it was then to purchase the new version anyway and obtain a license, uninstall, then side load an older version. But then in another update even that route was blocked by no longer granting licenses or something. Then someone provided another app independent of the Play Store to side load which is what is being referred to above. It's gotten nasty!!!! Our ranks will shrink further as those who are severely technically challenged fail to take measures to block this update. Personally, I can't help but wonder/worry if Sammy has some type of back door, but that's the conspiracy theorist in me, lol!

According to what I read, T-Mobile will be pushing the update on December 27th, that's what CNET is reporting. It also mentions the dates for AT&T as well as Sprint.

I agree and I will probably change to the cheapest samsung phone to get my $100 and then switch out and use my One Plus 3 till the S8 comes out.
Gotta use my Samsung Rewards up as well... This really sux

I caved last night, I picked up the s7 edge. I'm still keeping the Note 7 though and I'll use it until I'm no longer able to.

Why? You should have just kept the Note7 until the S8 came out... now you have an obsolete phone in 3 months.

I still have the Note 7, the s7 edge worked out in my favor actually. They gave me a Gear VR and now when the next phone drops I'll give my wife the s7 edge. She still has an S5 so it will be a nice upgrade for her.

I'm lost dude. So I have the second version of the Note 7, you know, the one that was supposed to not malfunction. Model # SM-N930T with T-Mobile. OK, so my phone did receive the forced update that make my battery charge to only 60%, I was able to use ODIN and put back the stock firmware, I installed PACKAGE DISABLER PRO and blocked the necessary items needed so I am now at 100% battery life. How is it that we know that is still not enough to block this new update that is coming to cripple the Note 7??? Maybe we are still safe, or is it FACT that it WILL still be forced even though we have the updates and tmobile and Samsung items blocked? Also, with what I have explained, can my phone still be rooted and install a custom ROM or am I too late or second version of Note 7 it was never possible???? Someone please help, I am not a noob, I have been installing custom ROMs since Galaxy S2, but at the same time I am no PRO. All info will help me and the community clarify this sticky situation. PLEASE HELP. AND THANK YOU ALL!!!!! Nothing compares to the Note 7, what other phone has IRIS EYE SCANNER, a SECURE FOLDER LOCK that you can add a secondary app of one you already have with a completely different account, you can lock your notes in SAMSUNG NOTES, an S PEN, A FREAK'N S-PEN for crying out loud!!!!! No Phone compares to this dude!!!!!! HELP HELP HELP HELP!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not 100% sure but the steps with package disabler that you've done should allow you to not have to worry about the new update coming through, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
As for rooting you're out of luck, only the original firmware that shipped with the phone was rootable. After that, this is as good as it gets for us firmware wise

Thnx
