Note 5 Battery life thread

[Racing24]

This is insane. I have dreams of achieving stats like this.

I agree. I've had my T-Mobile Note5 for two days now and I can't achieve battery life like that. I'm going to try to push the device today and report back.

What was your screen on time? JW

Ok, here are my findings:

I took my phone off the charger at 7AM yesterday--100% charged

I surfed the net
Answered some texts
Answered some emails
Talked on the phone
Played some music via bluetooth (maybe 30 mins)
Made a few ringtones
Downloaded a couple of apps

And went to bed...without plugging it up.

I am awake at 6:22 AM with 47% battery left. Fine with me. What I did above is my typical usage for a phone, though. Occasionally, I may surf the net and answer emails a bit more. And when I'm unsure of where I'm going in town, I do use the Maps feature.

I do use the Power Saving feature, though.

I agree. I don't understand why the S6 edge plus wasn't the new model of the Note Edge.

Agreed

Obviously root isnt available yet so what type of changes are you making on your phones to improve battery? Iv disabled some bloat but more information is great.

Why do you think that is an HTC?

The icons at the top match an HTC phone not a Samsung phone.

Not to mention the on screen navigation buttons.

For some reason, my Note 5 fast charing isn't working. I was at 85% and plugged it in. It says that it will be charged in 53 minutes.

I don't have the GSam app downloaded. I will download it. I don't see that info on the stock Battery screen.

You should be able to click on battery settings and see it.

Re: Ok, call me paranoid

Haha yes for this trip to sux flags I'd go with the batteries and note 4. Haha esp since you can't get it in time.

Below is the one I have which has been great. It absolutely says "fast charger connected" when I connect, and does charge fast. These external quick chargers are game changers! They finally made me feel ok with not having removable batteries.

I've seen the same exact shape/specs/etc as the one I got below under several different brands though. I'll bet they're all from the same factory on China.. But it's been working great!

Don't forget about the Samsung official external quick charge batteries too!

A lot of "worked great until 30 day warranty expires" posts. Too many.

I get 3 hours screen on time with note 3 but I do not want any battery saving "secrets" that all have the same thing in common: dim screen, less or no sync, no games, no amazon, no ebay, no nuthin that I buy a smart phone for.

So far ok since i unplugged it at 100%

I've never understood this either. If I have to disable everything I would get a flip phone.
