Hi guys, I recently bought my new note 4. First 2-3 charges cycles battery was draining quite fast. Read here that its normal for first few. Then now my battery level seems to be plunging a few % every time I reatart my phone. Disabled whatever I could but doesn't seem to be helping. Any ideas, please?

To preserve battery try to disable lots of Google services,also try not having a live weather app. Turn off notifications, ie news apps, turn off location services.
My battery was charged today 9 am it's now 20.38 and I'm in 41%.
Good luck.

That is a great ideas, but it's still not enough as yet. You need to turn some more off in the system app as well. Also some of the pre-install apps need to be off such as "Voice Command" and so on.

By sending this reply, I also have a problem with my NOTE 4 in term of "Gallery app", normally, after you made a photo, then you access to the gallery to view and/or edit that photo straight away on the gallery with "Photo Editor", but I was accidentally uninstall the pre-installed "Photo Editor" Which add-in in Gallery app, then I cannot get it back as it says that Photo Editor is no longer downloadable.

Can anyone help me how to get it back? THANKS

Just an FyI, you shouldn't really uninstall the preinstalled apps. Just disable them in Settings >Application Manager. That way when you need them, you can just enable them again. Sorry, can't help with how to get the photo editor back, unless you do a factory reset again. Takes time, but should get it back I would think. Hope that helps.

I had that issue with the Photo Editor, reset fixed my issue.

Same happens when you lose for example the messaging or Gallery app.
