I can understand UPSM over night or if you're traveling by but there's definitely no reason for it on a daily basis, completely unnecessary.

This thread is turning into a sickness with everyone trying to squeeze every last minute of battery and screen on time out of their device.
Just use your phone, people!
I can see for the people that are getting less than stellar battery life to post in and try to get feedback from others. But, to start neutering all of your services on your phone just to get a little more screen on time is just silly.
If you lose your power or charger and want your battery to last, put in ultra power saving mode. Otherwise, find the rogue apps causing the issues and just use your phone.
This has been an editorial. Carry on.

Does this seem normal? If Im understanding this wrong, please correct me, but does this mean that I'm using my battery faster when my screen is off?
Edit: I just realized how long it says since I've been off a charger, momentarily plugged in at meijer to print a picture, so maybe it means since then with the screen off I've used that much? Will check again tomorrow after normal use and update

Was it running off a full charge two hours ago when you unplugged it? Or was that the Meijer printing?
I did a little bit of everything over this period of time.

Man how are people getting these numbers? ! Over a day is cool, but 8 hours of screen on time is insane! I can barely get mine to hit 4.5 hours and that's with Greenify and turning on UPSM when I sleep!
I'm really not taking any extraordinary measures to get these times. I'm running TouchWiz, I do not run Greenify or any memory-cleaning app, I do not use any power saving mode, I keep my brightness down at about 25%, and I've turned off the following programs (and Softcard, which is not shown because it would require attaching another screenshot just to show it):

Hmm, I wonder if Touch Wiz uses that much less power than my Nova Prime launcher does. If not, it must be a combination of your 25% screen and being in a great mobile reception area maybe?
Except I'm not in that great of a mobile reception area. I'm in one of those areas where many times the phone won't even ring when someone calls, but a short time later I'll get their voicemail. It drives me crazy when this happens! But to be clear, this is not a Note 4 issue. The same thing used to happen with my iPhone 5. It's just spotty reception.
I got my Note on Tuesday and haven't really kept my hands off of it for too long, so this really wouldn't be a typical day with normal usage habits. Today I consistently left my screen brightness to about half. I skimmed through a couple youtube videos. Tested out a couple internet browsers and did a lot of web browsing in general. Downloaded and tried some apps to connect on my chromecast. I took a couple pictures and about 3 small videos. I used several applications and more than anything I just did a lot of playing around with phone's UI to see if I came across lag. All this was done while I was connected to "wifi". Again, my day basically consisted of me being lazy and sitting on my couch with phone in hand. Tomorrow I will have more realistic use since I will be working.
