Note 5 Battery life thread

[aspiller1998]

Got mine in late September and was great till November. After that android system started draining me, and so did wifi. Frustrating.

I'm starting to wonder if the batteries in the Note 5 are becoming defective. Over the last month or so my battery life is getting worse. At times my battery percentage will be at 7%, and literally drop to 3% skipping 6,5,4%. My bought my phone on release day.

That is odd i have my AT&T Note 5 since it first came out and no battery life issues at all, i am always getting SOT from 5, 6 , 7 and 8 , my normal SOT is 7 hrs or so.

My "normal" is 1.5-2 hrs…

That is odd i barely even see Google Play Services on my background at all if i do see it probably using 2% that's it.

And like i said before if i go to bed with 100% on battery and Wake-up 8hrs later i be at 98 or 97% on battery and on wifi 24.7 on .

I know Verizon has a bug a battery life, but I'm on AT&T Note 5 if it makes any difference to anyone else.

Did you try a factory reset, i know no one wants to do that but i have heard it fixes battery life issues.

 

[aspiller1998]

Yes, I have done multiple ones, cleared cache, disabled bloat, you name it! And nothin'!

What settings do you have in location and do you have the 4G LTE Enhanced services off?

I have 4 notes 5 on AT&T all have very good battery life. I have nothing disabled. You don't need to waste your time doing so. If the phone has bad battery something is wrong with the phone. I tested two phones one with disabled bloat and one without it. The difference wasn't more than a percent or two. The phone should work good out the box. I had an issue with one after a month and a factory reset fixed that.

Location is off, I've turned off enhanced LTE & even tried airplane mode for a couple hours. Still the same.

It won't do anything to turn that stuff off. You don't need to.
