I came from Iphone 6 Plus to Note 5 the only thing i do not like about this phone is life of its battery. Is there anyway to improve it when comparing apples to apples with IP 6 plus? Same brightness, blue tooth, wifi and so on. My test show that I phone last up to 30% more when it comes to battery life.
Only thing that seems to make a difference (atleast to me) is completely turning off wifi. If I am just on 4G, battery is amazing.
No need to turn off any other features....advanced calling, wallet, etc, etc
What carrier are you ok?
With Wifi I was getting 12-13 hours standby and 1 hour SoT.
With 4G I am getting 36 hours+ standby and 5 hours SoT
My use is mostly text, calls (HD), emails, web browsing, few apps like flipboard instagram etc. Not heavy by any stretch. Some days there is navigation.
WOW. thats drastic...vzw here..and my use sounds a lot like yours.
Alright, here's mine. SOMETHING is Draining the battery. Google Play Store was doing some updates. Another problem, my Fingerprint lock sometimes does Not register my thumb print, even from the different prints I did when setting device up in the first place. It went from 100 percent to 84 percent IN AN hour since I woke up at 830 a.m. and took it off the wireless charger stand.
It is almost impossible to pick out from these apps, exactly what is draining the battery.
That is where you need to install wake lock detector app. BUT.. it requires downloading something on your computer and running it through there, when there is no root on your phone.
I guess it's all relative.
I have WiFi, 4G and location services on all the time, and I use BT a lot throughout the day.
My use is moderate - plenty of texts, lots of downloading and playing netcasts during commutes, listening to music, surfing, traffic lookups.
My N5 battery life exceeds my LG G2 by a fair margin.
A nightly charge leaves me with 40% after 14 hours.
Pretty awesome given the display density.
Ok, I'll try it. Please, tell me the steps.

I was on S6 till last week, had no issues on the current WiFi settings. And didnt have issues with both wifi and 4g on at the same time. My router is 2.4GHz only, so thats not an issue.
With Note 5...Wifi is killing it and when I do put it on...it doesnt put 4G off. I am sure its not using Verizon data under that scenario but the fact that radio is on, is screwing with battery.
Also, if it was just my phone I would have thought maybe it is defective. Its my wife and my phone. Both of us have same issues.
