I'm losing 5% overnight. It's been great. When you check battery usage, what is using the battery overnight?

I can't post a photo yet because I don't have 10 posts.

The biggest usage is coming from Android OS.

When did you factory reset?

Does anyone else keep Location turned on? I find it very helpful in locating news, restaurants etc. In my area but want to know does it drain your battery?

I keep it on. If it has an effect I don't really notice it and it's not enough to cause me to change my usage.

Ok good. Thanks for your response.

No problem. I am sure someone else will chime in and tell you the exact opposite though. That seems to be the way it is. I think the apps you install and what you are doing on your phone play the biggest role in battery life. That's why some get great battery life and others don't.

I agree. I try to turn off what I can to preserve battery life but without taking away all the good features of the GNote5.

I keep mine on, but not set to high accuracy unless I really need it. I think it drains some, but like you, I prefer to use those features pretty regularly so it is worth it to me.

I keep mine on but in power saving mode, not high accuracy.

Anyone seeing spontaneous reboots? My Note 5 will reboot 4-5 times a day at random times even when just charging. I have no idea what is causing this.

I have around 2 to 3 reboots a day also, plus when I'm streaming iheart radio or any streaming music service, once my screen times out or I turn it off manually, it will stop playing or completely close the app since this 6.0 update. Listening to music on my phone is a joke now.

Glad to see i'm not the only one with this issue. I did a factory reset twice. still getting massive battery drain from android OS.

Anybody who's having problems and has not done a factory reset, I strongly advise to do one and wipe cache partition manually.

If you have Bluetooth on turn it off and see if that works. It works on my wife's note 5 but I'm gonna try rebooting my router next

I saw in another thread today in the Note 5 forum where someone discovered that uninstalling the iHeart Radio app stopped the random reboots. Might be worth trying. If I come across that thread will post it here for reference.

I will give that a try to see if that solves it and will let you guys know if that's the ticket. Thanks Trees
