Mine has been very good. I'm at 50% right now with 11 hours up time and almost 4 hours of on screen time.
In two days you only had your screen on for 2 hours? I'd think a note 4 would be a bit overkill for someone with such minor use but whatever floats your boat. I got my most SOT yesterday:
Oh my God!!! You are so right! I only stared at my phone for 2 hours over two days! And those two days obviously represent how I use it every day despite the fact that I have a very busy lifestyle outside of staring at little screens!!!
I mean, what was I thinking buying the Note 4!?!? I am going to return it tomorrow for a flip phone. And why stop there? Since I only drove my Mercedes 8 miles in the past two days, I am going to get rid of it ASAP and get a used Toyota Corolla!
Thank you so much so setting me straight!!!!!!!
Don't think he's being sensitive he's being honest. Many of us don't need a phone to last hours for us to stare at it. We just need a smartphone that last all through work and gives power and a functionality use when we need it. The note 4 does that. What maybe normal for you is not normal for everyone. You see a phone barely used and they (and myself) are seeing a phone being useful and lasting exactly as it should. My battery shouldn't die when I use it moderately or lightly it. And that's what some people are looking for and the note it giving that plus more.I'm sorry you are so sensitive and insecure about your phone usage, I clearly struck a nerve. You implying I don't have a life outside of my phone is comical though! Nice try
You should NOT be using task manager and closing those apps. This will decrease your battery life. Android will close them as needed.I have a question, I know we should close the apps in the task manager in the home screen to prevent from apps running, now, do I also need go to application manager and close programs that are running? I ask because today I wanted to see what the big difference is to have the screen brightness at 50% (I always have it at 100%) and see no big difference about it. Right now is at 40% battery with 8 hrs. Screen time is 2 hours and 50 mins. Sorry no screenshot, dont know how to.
There is no harm or hit to battery life by force closing non-system apps, in particular ones that don't normally auto start at boot up or that don't restart themselves after being force closed. As an example, I always force stop (via Application Manager) Sunday Ticket, SiriusXM, Foxfi, or My Backup Pro when I'm done with them to ensure they don't contribute to any battery drain. These apps don't normally run at boot; only when I specifically run them, so they don't need to continue to run when I'm finished with them. In fact, I've read many reports where some of these apps have contributed to battery drain when left to run, something that would otherwise not happen if they were force closed. Contrary to popular belief (and from my experience), the Android OS is NOT always the most efficient at managing running applications and you sometimes need to help it.

Why are people posting their battery life if they never even touch it, or its not their primary phone...nobody cares about your standby time lol...lets see your normal day's usage.
Well usually because standby time sucked with previous phones and they usually die within 8hrs or less with less screen time. And here we have a battery that gives us more (stock mind you) when we're at work. Besides you may see never touched because the on screen is less. But I see hours of music , calls, and streams. I never turn the screen on that much. But I'm always streaming an podcast or music or speaking on the phone or viber for hours on end. So this is perfect for me if I only use 2-10% during an hr long call or 2-3 hours of streaming. When usually I'll be at 65% to 50% within an hr or two of doing just that.
