Note 4-Verizon-Battery Issue
Hi all,
I'm new here and want to thank you in advance for your patience in addressing what I know is a much drawn out topic. I just got a Note 4 from Verizon 8 days ago after originally upgrading from an iPhone 5 to LG G3. The G3 was my first Android device. I returned the LG G3 after 3.5 weeks because I was not very happy with the battery life. I am beginning to think I must be doing something wrong if I am having similar problems with a second, unrelated phone.
The past few days, I have been bringing the Note 4 down to about 40-45% battery with 2-2.5 hours of SOT. This is concerning to me because I have heard such fantastic things about the battery life and I am on the lower end of moderate use. I read the news on news apps and browse things on wikipedia via google chrome for a couple of hours and never play games or watch any videos.
I have been trying to read through the different threads here on Note 4 battery life, and adjusting my settings accordingly, before bothering you guys. The battery life is great, as long as I don't actually do anything with my phone, but whenever I start, I see it lose 1% every 5 minutes in front of me. I called Verizon and they basically told me to charge it to 100% and go about my day without really using it to see how it goes. I did so, and it lost 4% over night ( 100-> 96 which I think is good ) and has done well all day, except when I actually use it :-\
I have attached some screen shots for everyone, and I know at first look the stats look great, but like I said before, under normal usage they tell a different story. Also included is two pictures of my apps in case anyone recognizes something that might be contributing.
Thank you all very much for your help and patience in dealing with this once again!
