I want to preface this by saying that this is certainly atypical behavior. But certainly 12 hours SOT is possible.

I have a note 4 and sorry its not possible.
But feel free to post a screenshot of your 12+ hours of sot if you are so certain
That screen shot proves that it is. 6 hours 50 minutes and 27% of battery used.

It's a shame, because the phone really is great. I'm contemplating if I should return it within my 2 week period for an LG G3 or go back to the iPhone 6+.
Although I already purchased screen protectors and a case not from Verizon.
6p would be the best bet if idle battery usage is your main concern.

I've had the Note 4 (Verizon) a few weeks now (not quite a month). My battery drain totally depends on a) actual activity on my part, b) background services I have running. One sure drain? Having location on does drain a bit more, and having high accuracy location on drains a LOT. Significantly so. I typically leave my location on power saving mode, I have the phone itself set to power saving mode, and I have Bluetooth always on. My brightness is set to auto. Smart stay is off.
On most days, I unplug the phone from the charger at 6 AM and plug it back in between 9 and 10 PM. The phone usually is 50% battery or more. On days with very heavy usage, it might dip lower into the 20%-35% range, but that's with VERY heavy usage. I have been able to go a full 2 days of light to medium usage without a recharge (just 2 days ago, in fact). If you use the camera, use high accuracy location, use smart stay (which uses front facing camera to try to determine if you're looking at the screen in order to KEEP THE PHONE "ON" automatically), etc., you WILL see more drain.
Sorry, no pretty charts here. Just anecdotal, real world metrics captured by me, as I have been watching this Note 4 battery since getting it. My previous phone (Verizon Galaxy S3) was AWFUL even though it used almost identical configuration, minus Bluetooth, which was only turned on when actually needed, so I had a vested interest in battery life.
I've been very impressed with the Note 4's battery so far.

Idle time isn't my main concern, but the rate at which my Note 4 is depleting is concerning.
SOT is more important and I barely get over 2 hours on my Note 4.

Amazon has the Hyperion 8000 mAh extended battery for 0.01, I'd grab it before it goes back to 39.99. I use extended batteries in all my phones, stock batteries just don't get it for me. Mine is on its way.

Something certainly isn't right. Do a factory data reset and remove the sd card, if you have one. Don't install any apps or sign into any accounts . if you are still getting 2 hours SOT with no idle and get good signal then the phone is defective.

I'm going to give the battery some time before I do that.
Really feel like it's a Verizon issue, I know they released an update a week or so back.
If you haven't already taken the update, then 2 would do that.

Your os battery says you've used 52% battery but your app says you've used 27%?
Plz post a screen shot of your 12+ hrs of sot from the battery setting. Thx!
48% was the current battery level. I have it set to measure from last reboot, and my battery was not full at reboot . Again, 27% battery was used in 6 hours 50 minutes SOT. Please download gsam and play with it if you don't understand how it works. I tried explaining it multiple times to you already.

Nope. Plz Goto Your phones 'Settings >system > power saving > screen' and post a non doctored screen shot of you with 12+ hrs of screen on time. Thx!
I didn't come up with that chart, but it came from a very respectable site (that I don't work for am and not in any way affiliated with) . Should you doubt it's accuracy, you can contact said site's editor in chief to discuss further at ryan.smith @ anandtech.com.
