Ya'll must have good battery life with your Edge

[droidntn]

As I read through your threads and make a decision about a new phone, I've Noted (pardon the pun) that there are not many threads at all, that I can see, about the usual battery problems with a new model.
That's impressive.
I was considering this vs the S6 Edge. And apparantly the S6 series is downright plagued with battery problems.

When I first got my phone, I was not impressed with the battery life. I had failed a few times at rooting my phone so I had to restore back to stock and after successfully rooting, I am actually getting much better usage than my Note 4.

I usually get about two days standby with about 4 hours OST. I do have two other phones I use daily so that should explain the long standby times.

I can easily power through a day (unplugging at 6:00 AM, back to charging by 10:00 PM) and still have about 30% left. That's with a good 3-4 hours of music playback (via Bluetooth), a few (normally 3, sometimes 4) hours of on-screen time, using Facebook periodically, using my Reddit app for about an hour, taking 1-2 pictures (sometimes a lot more, sometimes none at all), and texting throughout the day. I am typically somewhere in the 80% vicinity by the time I get off of work and really have to use my phone for everything to get it below 30% by bedtime.

The battery life on my Note Edge and Note 4 is good enough that I don't even consider it. I often have 30+% left after taking my phone off the charger ~5:30A with moderate to heavy daily use.

What those two above me said. I actually plug mine up to the charger an hour before I leave for work (9am) and dont get back in the house until 1930-2000. Not having had the phone on the charger the entire day, I'm usually left with 35-40%. It doesn't go BACK on the charger until the following morning or if I think about it, before I go to sleep.

I had terrible battery life on the edge... it was draining 10% an hour.. with not doing much on it.

The interesting thing that fixed this is turning off the "Night Clock" on the edge... Now I get amazing battery life. I used to set this from midnight to 8am, but it would drain during the night and the day.

Once turned off, I am getting maybe 15% drain over 9 hours not doing anything on the phone.. but I have push email, whatsapp wechat, facebook etc always running. This is pretty good for me.

Do you use Facebook?

Absolutely... if you are running intensive games on the device, you could easily lose 20% in 1 hour.. for me, the most important aspect is idle battery life.. I may leave it on my desk for a few hours, and if I lost 30% battery in that time... then the battery life is terrible...

I lost my spare battery for a couple weeks and felt like dying. Phone battery life is still great but I'm a very heavy user so I won't make it past 5pm on a charge. I could never get a phone with a sealed battery.

My battery life was great...until yesterday. Then, it drained until dead, while just sitting there. I charged it until full and set it on the night stand and when I woke up, it was at 38%. The only thing different, is a game I installed. Will delete that sucker and see what happens.

 

[yeah yeah]

When I'm at work, I turn my phone off. So my phone is about 90% before I turn it off. When I turn my phone back on about 9 hours later, the battery is at 78%. Anyone know why? I had a Note 4 and never had this issue. I know the N4 battery is bigger, but 10% loss when the phone is off?

I have great battery life and I'm not touching the lollipop update because I want to keep it that way.
