I had the exact same problem on my 2 days old Note 4. Index Service was responsible for up to 75% of the battery usage. Thanks to all the posters here and their advice, I pulled my SD card and the drain stopped. With the SD card installed my phone would lose nearly 10% charge per hour even without the screen being ON. Now, it has been over 2 hours and it still sits at 100 percent.
It must be something peculiar about how the Note 4 interacts with the older SD cards as the card works perfectly when I put it back into my S4. No battery issues there. BTW - my SD card also begun duty in an HTC Thunderbolt, then an S3 and an S4. No issues with any other phones.
