Do you think some note 5 devices have faulty batteries?
I had note 5 32 gb and the battery never drained and was getting 4 hours And 15 min MINIMUM SCREEN ON TIME
And FANTASTIC Idle battery i used to lose 1 percent every 2 hours. The phone used to Survive A whole day since day one.
I then sold it and bought Note 5 64 gb.
This phone DOES NOT DOZE it ALWAYS Drains battery even with screen off and barley reaches 3 hours of Screen on time.
What do you think the problem?
Bad firmware from diffrent phones or diffrent batteries?
I am going to try not to use fast charging
and use a different charger (both phones used different type of socket , perhaps the socket I used with the new one some how drains the battery much more).
No diffrence. It must be something to do with the firmware but i do not want to root it.
is knox tripped? if it is, then it has the wakelock bug

No but i am thinking of rooting it the battery in my new model is just half my first model.
I am really thinking of installing custom rom because the drain is unbearable.. its so confusing my old one used to last an entire day with 4 hours SOT

Perhaps ypur new Note 5 has a faulty battery?
Also which region /model is your new Note 5 and is it the same region/model as the 32GB one was?
how strong is the mobile network signal?
I had a T Mobile US Note 4 in UK and it did not get a good signal (especially indoors) as a UK Note 4 model and this caused massive battery drain for me so i sent it back and bought a Note5 Duos instead
which ROM are you running, run BBS or GSAM on it for a few days and see what's causing drain?

Hey, just telling. I went to Samsung store and bought an s6e+ which is almost same device with note 5. I personally unboxed it(unsealed with my hands). I mean it was brand new, not a second hand knox tripped. Then at the first night turned the screen off(no sim inside it, no wifi) %23 battery went away, in the morning it was dead. Figured out that the brand new Shamesung device that i've bought came with deep sleep issue. So rooted it after 3 days and deep sleep survived. I felt like im in a treating center who tells his story lol. Good luck.

Hey guys, looking for some input here.
Im coming up on the 14 day return policy for the nexus 6, but im really thinking of returning it and going with the note 4.
The only issue i have with the phone is battery life. My phone seems to gulp it down. Now i do have many battery draining features turned off and standby time is excellent. Its when i actually use the phone i get massive drain, whether it be facebooking, web browsing, or playing games, the phone loses a lot of life! My wife used the camera this past weekend for 20 minutes according to the stats and my percentage dropped 25%from 80% to 55% within 1/2 hour!
My brightness is also on adaptive at 35-40%. For the life of me, it just seems i cant stop the battery drain.
I know going to the stock note 4 battery is about the same, but Zerolemon is releasing the note 4 10000 mah battery later this month. I had the same battery on my note 3 and loved it, ive never killed that battery. Yes, itll be a brick, yes but im thinking id prefer battery over function.
I do love the nexus, especially the screen size and the front facing speakers, and i will lose those with the note, but having a dead phone by 6pm makes those features useless. Yes, i could charge the phone halfway through the day, but i was spoiled with the note 3 extended battery.
SO my question is, should i chance the nexus 6 and hope upcoming updates solve the drain, or should i dump it and go with the note 4 and extended battery.
Frank
TL;DR NExus 6 battery dies too quick, return and get note 4 with zero lemon.
I went from the Note 4 to the Nexus 6 and battery life is about the same. I was actually pretty disappointed with the battery life of the Note 4 considering i had a Note 2 where the battery lasted FOREVER! I had originally decided that i would bypass the Nexus 6 and get the Note 4 instead, and at first i loved it but after having to deal with constant lag and dealing with samsung's crappy radios i'm glad i picked up the Nexus 6 (Note 4 is my new alarm clock at home)
It seems that your mind is already made up.. just get the Note 4

Are you using stock ROM or rooted and/or flashed? Sounds unusual for stock. I'd check your network settings and make sure your preferred network type and access point name are correct for your carrier but if standby time is good that probably isn't it anyway. I'd look for an app which gives more detailed battery usage information and go from there.
after going through an S4 and Note 3.. Im glad to be away from samsung. They have amazing hardware specs but drag it down with their crappy touchwiz. It's really unfortunate, the s-pen is pretty great.

im actually fully stock, with just a few apps. I have checked for wake locks and draining apps and down have any. Actually all the apps i had are the same as the note 3 i had. Nothing new.
Im on att and my prefered network is LTE, changed it from global a few days ago.
It seems the biggest drain is during use, not standby!

That is normal on any device. That battery for me is decent. However don't forget that you just got a new device. People always use new devices more initially before they settle into a normal use rhythm. Also I wouldn't worry much about the return date because this device is so hard to get that if you sold it yourself you would probably make money on it. Just give it time.

It's possible that something is wrong with YOUR nexus. I get 5 hours of sot with a stock rooted rom and greenify. Once I decrypt, ROM and kernel I'd expect 6 to 8 easy.

For me, I have a Note 2 and waiting for N6 to be available for me. I am so sick of Samsung forced apps and touchwiz. It's not rooted, but I don't feel like I should have to root it in order to get a basic OS without the addons being forced on me by the manufacturer, and then have the warranty voided because of it.

theres no such thing as "typical". we all use our devices differently, and have differing signal quality. you can really ever compare battery stats with another person because of that. only you know how you use your device. so the question is going to get changed.. by how you use your device, and your local signal quality, are you happy with your battery life?

Did you allow google to auto restore settings, apps, data at first boot up? Coming from a different device and OS version could have synced something funky that is causing this. I have noticed this before. Consequentially I never use this feature. I always set every device up fresh (same if switching Roms too in my book). I would try a factory reset at the very least. I have been trying hard to kill my n6 today with no luck, already 12 up time 22% battery left with 4½ hours SOT. Battery stats say I have 3 hours of life left.
Have google now on and going, 2 email clients syncing, g+ syncing, Tapatalk syncing, roughtly 4 active hangouts going, and updated 8+ apps from play store.
Been actively trying to duplicate a power day on this thing. With you experience, something is off with your description and worth experimenting some.
I did do the wireless sync due to some apps needing to recover data.
Maybe I'll try a reset and manually download the apps.

Ive had my phone for a couple weeks now. The first week I had it obviously I was playing around with it a ton and trying different Qi chargers to see how they work. My battery life was unimpressive at 8-10 hours. I was hoping to have at least a full days worth of time based on everything this is supposed to have.
Then I tried a couple things. I turned off the stupid fit application. I ran the battery all the way down until the phone literally turned off. Then I used only wall USB chargers to charge it up.
Now with the same type of usage 3-4 hours of screen time, Im typically getting at least 18-24 hours of battery life. I even managed 30 hours once. Anyway, Im extremely happy with the way this phone is holding up now. Obviously YMMV but I think if you find the right tweaks for the way you use it, it should last longer than you expect.

So Far Today by your stats i will give you mine.
@ 27% Battery Left after flashing Stock a 1.5 days ago rooted/decrypted
Screen is at 4:30:09 @ 42% Usage
Phone Radio 15:30:41 @ 4% usage
Wifi Active 3:24:12 1% usage
Held Awake 2:23:26 0% usage
App Usage 53%
I also have a persistent System (ADSPD) drain that while i don't know how much its draining app sucker puts it at 13.8% vs the next drainer of Android System at 7.3%
Just guessing maybe you are in a poorer signal area than I? Basing that on your phone radio using much more of the percentage?
For what its worth you saw my screen on time. GSAM is predicting 6h 58m total for the day if i run it to 0.
Hello everybody,
reading XDA forums for a while, I now have a problem with my Mi 5, that no other thread seems to cover (sorry if I'm wrong).
I bought my 32 GB Mi 5 from gearbest in July and Battery life from the beginning was not as good as GSMarena promised. I can't recall any numbers but I blamed the "shop-version" of android and tried the stable ones from english miui site, but no luck. I even tried CM-13 but battery life there was really bad (8-10 % per hour). Right now i have the latest stable (global V8.1.2.0.MAAMIDI) and it uses almost 4 % per hour in flight mode! The funny thing: even powered of, the phone drains the battery at that rate (actually not funny)
So my question is: By any chance, is this something, which could be caused by software or is it definitely a hardware fault? Since i flashed the firmware, gearbest refuses any asisstance (warranty void).
Any idea or help is gratly appreciated!
I have got similar trouble with my mi5/64 gb.
I have been inquiring and testing with many old and new version of stock roms (meaning miui) and custom roms for several months.
Moreover, I have used and tested with many battery saving and improvement apps too. I also flashed with MPdecion mod.
I am now with the latest eu developer rom of Nougat 6.12.15....
Unfortunatelly, I found no solution no improvement. My battery life is avarage 13-15 hours.. Even it drains 4% per hour while fully powered off.
As a result, I have no more option but to replace battery with a new one (purchased from Aliexpress but not yet arrived) thou I have little hope thinking that this might be due to defected motherboard.
I may suggest you to return your device or get replaced with another one..
Hello sas_sas,
my deepest sympathties to your situation. I'm still hesitating to open the phone, but since gearbest refuses any warranty (due to flashing the phone :silly I might try between Christmas and New Year. One easy way to narrow down the fault would be to fully charge the phone, disonnect the battery and leave it for a day. When reconnected and powered up the phone shows no disacharge you could save your money for a new battery. Also i think a faulty battery would already have blown up during quickcharge.
This issue is really a shame! Xiaomi is regarded as a premium brand but i couldn't find a way to contact them to describe the obvious hardware problem. Gearbest just holds their hands in the air and blames the customer. That's really annoying.
Hi!
My Nexus 9 tablet is driving me crazy since 1st day on. I'm searching for a tablet with good ROM support and find this Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 - in variant SM-T713/SM-T813 - it's supported by lineage.
My question is to he owners of this tablet and lineage on it:
Is it worth to buy it? How is the performance with normal usage (multitasking)? Stability?

I also came from the Nexus 9 and feel your frustration. That thing is ready for the skip.
I was also thinking about Lineage on my T715 when I first bought it as I'd heard all the bad stories about Touchwiz. To my pleasant surprise, I've found Touchwiz to be so good, I've not even thought about rooting/lineage. The performance of this tablet has been rock solid since day 1, but could never be described as fast. Thankfully, it does everything at the same speed. No problems with refreshing Chrome tabs or launcher redraws like on the Nexus 9.
If you do take the plunge, just have in mind that this is getting long in the tooth so don't pay too much for it. You can also swap the order of the capacitive buttons using an app called, "All in one gestures," from the play store.
Let us know how you get on.

In my opinion it is an excellent tablet both with performance and stability. I have been running Omni Rom 8.1.0 for several months and I couldn't be happier with it. Even while I was on stock I had no issues with it. I picked my T813 up about 18 months ago on eBay for way below the going price. The price for a "New (other)" from the same dealer I bought mine is currently $260. He provides a really good 1 year warranty and has a very fair return policy. The going price for a Tab S3 is $390 which I think is way overpriced for it.
Just my opinion and you know what they say about those.

2 things are terrible with this tablet and lineage
1. Can't charge over night the tablet to 100% - slow charging
2. Something eats battery in flight mode and display is off. - 25% in 4 hours. Can't find the reason for this
Everything else is top, but these 2 points are the killer

1. I noticed the same thing on my charger, however when I plugged the tablet into my phone charger it charged up much faster and had no problem reaching 100% overnight.
2, I don't have a clue about that. It must be specific to your tablet. I have been running for 3 days and 6 hours and still have 37%. That is with moderate usage playing Hay Day and Word Crumble some as well as some reading.
I've flashed omni and there is the same. Over night from 80% to 7% without display on, without using any app. That's apolutly a no go.
Now back to crap - Nexus 9
Sadly google stopped supporting tablets.
Samsung is bad because bad software support (look S8/S9 and oreo updates). With my S6 Edge I had also problems that I decided no Samsung anymore. I did it again and now the Tab S2 is going the same way back to eBay, if I get it charged to 100% in 2 days... .
Totally disappointed
I think that you had bad luck.
I've t719,LTE version,and the battery life it's very good.Usually,the LTE version it's more intense battery killer,but I managed to squeeze two days without charging,without games,only browsing,music,email.
Something it's wrong,try to buy from another source.

With Stock battery seems to be ok. But lineage and other 8.1 is very bad. And I bought this tablet because of these custom ROMs. Samsung is not supporting this tablet for 8.0/8.1 so I thought it will be nice with 8.1, I thought.... It will.....
Now I understand.
If so,you don't have many choices with good tablets with custom roms support.
At 8" screen,almost no choices,because Mediapad M3 and M5 from Huawei are not so popular.
Cheers
Yeah.... And Huawei closed his bootloader, so no chance for any custom ROM.
And how I've read the news, Google cancel his support to their tabs. Let's see what the future brings
A little bit off-topic,but I think that not the bootloader it's the problem of the Huawei mediapads,but the proprietary SOC,Kirin.
Even with bootloader unlocked,the third party development for Kirin it's almost inexistant.
Cheers
Hello,
i love my Note8 but as i came from the Xiami Mi Max 3 i'm not really satisfied with the battery. But the Note9 is way to expensive at the moment and ( for me ) not a better device than the Note 8 beside the better battery.
I have found on aliexpress a battery for the note 8 with a 3800mah instead the 3200mah from Samsung. Anyone tried this battery yet? The 20% bigger capacity would be a huge improvement for battery life.
Probably fake, but its certainly unsafe to do it, you might cause a lot of problems this way - even destroy a phone .
Try keeping your battery between 20 and 90% and you might get longer lasting battery.. That's just it, dont experiment with these sorts of things like battery capacity...

I think the battery life is pretty decent already, you could just get a powerbank if you are that concerned, I would suggest that over you putting a questionable battery in, all while probably ruining the IP68 in doing so.
I Tried 2 bigger than original batteries in the past for a S3 and a Note 3, first, these batts lack the NFC and wireless capabilities, second, they were not even near the advertised capacity, furthermore, they failed miserably in less than 2 months
What the others said, but also, the batteries are, for all intents and purposes, none-replaceable. It's not as simple as opening the back cover and swapping out the battery. There's a lot of work involved in doing it and you could potentially damage your phone just from this process, much less even the battery itself.
I don't recommend you try this.

As I did not want to surrender my device, yes, I used bk disabler to avoid any firmware update, but, just as a precaution, because here in Mexico the largest carrier, Telcel did not force anybody to exchange the device, in fact, you could keep it and in the event of it catching fire or anything of the sort, they would then exchage it for any other device, provided the warranty period still alive
Telcel gave you a very good deal here. Whenever you are ready to convert your Note 7 into self-destruct (nuclear bomb) mode, I'm sure this forum has several interesting ideas. On an unrelated note (no pun intended): Have you ever taken this phone on a flight before? If so, have you had any hassle doing so?
I recall in 2017 when I was re-fueling my car at a local petrol station here in Jamaica (not self-serve, but a pump attendant). A pedestrian (on foot) was on a phone call on a Note 7. I instinctively started my car, slammed it in gear ,floored the accelerator, leaving my gas cap, and forgetting to pay the fuel bill. I was determined not to die that day.
I don't use any of the Samsung Apps but I do have the Frontier watch and was wondering if this will be affected? Also are my banking apps affected? I'm looking to get more out my battery life, explore more customization options and for games that I play! Has anyone else done it?
Well that question can only be answered by you
If you don't use Samsung apps then that's one worry out the way.
About banking apps I found this which has some info in that regard at the end of the reply: https://www.quora.com/Is-using-bank...fe-Is-there-any-chance-our-data-to-get-stolen
Mainly this piece:
"Also, the banking apps these days have become smarter — they realize when they are run on rooted phones and would stop working totally (if they run at all in the first place)."
The way I understand it is that even if a certain banking app runs fine there's no guarantee that they won't update it to fix it and to make it unusable on rooted devices.
My advice would be against rooting this phone unless you're just bored and want to mess with it for no reason and are prepared to lose OTA/security updates and trip KNOX forever.
I mean I can't find a single thing missing from this beast in order to even consider rooting it. Plus it will get the latest OneUI 2.1 in June so

I don't use any of the Samsung Apps but I do have the Frontier watch and was wondering if this will be affected? Also are my banking apps affected? I'm looking to get more out my battery life, explore more customization options and for games that I play! Has anyone else done it?

Where you based ? Why i'm asking here in the UK we have 2 year warranty i would advise you to ring up Samsung get a new battery installed then root it! Well that's my plan they usally install battery for free!
Root it sooooo much fun
I'm on the Dr's rom no problems at all
I'm having the same question as well. Battery life on this phone has never been great, probably because of the rubbish exynos chip.

I get 8 hours screen on time with the exynos model though. That's on wifi, i get 7 hours on 4G. Can't complain about battery life at all here.

I lose around 2-3% overnight. I have a routine which turns off mobile data, wifi, sync, aod, gps, nfc and bluetooth between 1:30 and 7:30am. Maybe try this, dunno.

Thanks will try! My Note 10+ 5G 256GIG model is spot on with battery life, i wont even lose 1% over night even though its got no sim in it. Never am going to do that like purchase multiple phones with in few months of each other! i dont even play with my Note 10 + 5G or my Tab S6 LTE 256GB as the Note 9 does everything i need!
