Note 5 Battery life thread

Well you know wake lock detector will tell you what is doing it and how to run that..

I am losing 10 percent overnight. Don't know what's the issue. Location is off. No Bluetooth or WiFi just cellular data turned on. There is no background email sync. No Facebook or Twitter. Can anyone guide me.

 

[Kelly Kearns]

FYI - I use the app "No Lock" by BoD to circumvent the problem. Have a little widget/icon on my screen so I can toggle between having no lock (most of the time since I carry in a holster) and lock (when cycling, skiing, etc). I agree that Moto should have fixed it and that an additional app shouldn't be needed, but at least it works well and gets around the problem.

You need to post your Samsung battery stats also.

 

[Kelly Kearns]

Also you have Edge data?

 

[smackitdude]

Also you have Edge data?

Yes its an edge data

 

[Kelly Kearns]

Yes its an edge data

Why do you have such a good signal and Edge data?

 

[smackitdude]

Why do you have such a good signal and Edge data?

Just trying save my data. Could be the edge draining the battery?

I don't know, in fact I'm getting some opinions on that..

 

[smackitdude]

Ok then I will turn off the edge and use WiFi. Then the next day will try switching off all the data.

Ok, EDGE uses more battery.

What I really need you to do is run it a day or two like normal, don't shut off data and have it on LTE.

We need to see exactly how ir is doing and what it is doing.

Does this seem like just a low signal issue? I still think I've messed something up

 

[Kelly Kearns]

Did you top off a charge? I really need to see some Samsung battery stats. This says you used 138% of your battery..

Something interesting regarding my idle battery drain. ..

I get less drain if I just let my phone idle over night with all the stuff on vs with airplane mode on.

Last night with stuff on:

The night before with airplane mode on:

 

[Kelly Kearns]

Well it is kind of like not disabling too much where my phone is concerned.

I disable some bloat, but if I disable a lot, it shoots my Android OS up and drains my battery.

 

[TheLastPanda]

Agreed. Thought it was quite interesting.

 

[Kelly Kearns]

Well it is like I have said several times..if you are having an issue, the fix is not going to be to turn a lot of stuff off. Now if you have bad signal, then you might have to use the bandaid of turning a lot of stuff off, but with this phone, with everything being good, we shouldn't have to turn things off and run at half power, etc.

I am at work and haven't really done nothing on phone while at work on 4G LTE and my idle is excellent as you can see here.

 

[MedicD]

Yeah I charged it twice, but never back to 100%

 

[MedicD]

Wish I was on T-mob....$25 for a 4g cellspot

T-Mobile introduces 4G LTE CellSpot powered by your internet connection | Android and Me

With that you can be on TMO. You don't even have to have TMO service at your house, hook that up to your Internet.
