    Note 5 - heat

    Update: went to Samsung service centre and the guy confirmed something was not right. His English was not great but he said the "output was unstable".

    Turning off VoLTE has dramatically improved battery drainage from Cell standby. From 30% (!!) to less than 1%. Seems to me there is an issue with the implementation of this function. Posted via the Android Central App

    Note 5 - heat

    Hmm. I'll keep monitoring it for the next few days. If it stays bothering me I'll go back to the shop. I remember it got better on the OnePlus One as well after some battery cycles. Posted via the Android Central App

    Note 5 - heat
