Note 5 Battery life thread

[Kelly Kearns]

Hmm i guess all phones might react differently, cause i keep my wifi always even when i go to bed and it doesn't kill my battery at all, and when I'm on 4G LTE while out house doesn't eat my battery either, so i am assuming that everyones phone react different, even though it shouldn't be that way.

I would keep my WiFi turned on, but have it set to turn off when the phone is sleeping

I'm seeing very crappy numbers in here and very good numbers.

Moral of the story: Configuring Android properly is the key to good battery life.

Exactly

I get what I would consider great battery life, nearly 5 hours screen on time, and I haven't tinkered with anything. WiFi and Bluetooth always on.

Please share your settings

Also others please remember, battery life is subjective to carrier, signal, how you use your phone, etc. You can set your phone up exactly the same, doesn't mean you will get the exact same battery life.

In that case, T-Mobile must really suck cuz I can't never do better than 4 hours SoT. And I have almost everything turned off

I see you have NFC on , thats a big battery killer , if i was you i turn it off when not using, leaving it on will drain your battery, i don't use Android pay or Samsung pay ever so i never have NFC on, and i use touchwiz, other launcher like Nova eats more battery then touchwiz.

I use Samsung pay but I never thought about turning it off....smh

I've heard the opposite, that touchwiz drains battery and third party launchers are better. Currently on action launcher 3

You don't need NFC for Samsung Pay.

I would use it in a heartbeat if they took my bank. I used to use Google Wallet with tap and pay and loved it.
