That's not the point. I stream music all day at work, I use Waze (excellent app for navigation but excels in its ability to let you know of any and all traffic problems around you, ahead on your current road/hwy or on your planned route. There are millions of users who keep it updated. If you see a delay, cop, accident etc. you click on your Waze map and when others come up on it they give a thumbs up if its still there or state that its gone). For real time traffic updates along my route to work and back daily and enjoy reading, watching Netflix, facebook etc. while waiting for my kids at their practice after school.
I have PC at work and laptops and desktops at home but I got the large screen, speedy Note 3 to use as above and it would not get me through the day if not for the ability to replace with fresh batteries. I always have a fresh battery in my pocket so anytime I end up having to wait for some unplanned reason I can kill time with my Note 3 and not have to worry about running out of power.
I will only purchase Android phones with large screen, replaceable batteries and lots of horse power.
I thought Samsung was smart enough to know this. Most people buy iphones because its the trendy thing to do. I don't use any apple products for many reasons including over priced and over rated.
Sorry for going off track just making myself clear.

Carrier bloat isn't a problem unless you enable them. I don't see what the problem is with carrier bloat. AFAIK, you actually have to launch them to have them running. Why would anyone do that then turn around and disable them. I have a bunch of AT&T carrier bloat but they are not enabled because I never launched them in the first place.

But you have right below that option the Allow always scanning on, turn that off.
What disabled apps can run in the background that you know of?And that isn't actually true in all cases. Even social media apps are being loaded as bloat and some other apps. It doesn't always take using them for them to work in the background. Even disabled apps work in the background and use data. If you don't want to disable any, you don't have to.
You mean you froze them or uninstalled them?I've owned an N5 for 24 hours now. Heavy use with tons of downloading, configuring, etc. It went 24 hours and I had 35% left when I put it on the charger.
There might be battery calibration still happening, but instinctively, I can say that battery life is far better than my LG G2, with had much less processing power, and a smaller, less dense display.
I find the N5 to be amazing on every front.
I also chucked all of the apps that I know need to be chucked for me - Facebook, Instagram, VZW apps, etc. So, there were less apps potentially working in the background.
With greenify you can't use a screen lock?Give them a try and find out, you've been given 3 choices. I chose Greenify after reading about it on Drippler and am very satisfied. YMMV

Did you you use package disabler on those apps?Lots of them. Go to data usage and scroll down and it will show what apps are using background data. Disabled ones always show up there for me. I disable Amazon and it always runs background data.

Did you you use package Uninstaller on those apps?

Mistyped... Should have been package disablerNo, I haven't tried that app, thinking about trying it.
You can disable or uninstall using package disabler. I would advise against uninstalling though.I just noticed that how do we get them to really stop running in the backround?
