Note 5 Battery life thread

[chesterdawg]

I totally agree. If you are going to disable most of the Android goodies why bother with this phone.

I have a Note 3 with 4 batteries. I purchased the 3 spare Samsung 3000 mAh batteries for $5 each on ebay. One of the many reasons I don't use apple anything is the iphone battery is sealed.

I won't be getting a Note 5 for this reason. What was Samsung thinking? I hope they build another large screen phone with replaceable battery, I use at least 2-3/day.

I was trying to respond to a reply that said "Why bother getting an android if you're going to turn everything off? that's why I use iphone?"

to which I replied "I have a Note 3 with 4 batteries. I purchased the 3 spare Samsung 3000 mAH batteries for $5 each on ebay. One of the many reasons I don't use apple anything is the iphone battery is sealed."

"I hope Samsung (or Nexus maybe?) builds a large screen android phone with replaceable batteries."

This reply got buried 25 pages back with the original reply instead of being posted to the end of this thread?

You must live on your phone? You don't have another larger screen to mess with? I could not spend that much time on my phone thought the day without getting a head ache. For the most part I monitor these thread on my chromebook or ipad.

Thanks you will do this today. And i have Galaxy s4, which also have same signal. But this will drain only 5% over night.

No luck i tried on both my phones today over night

1. with Signal and Wifi On - Drained 40%
2. With Signal off and Wifi On - Drained - 35%

I am disappointing with this battery performance

Turn on airplane and then turn WiFi back on.

What apps are draining that much power overnight?

Carrier bloat isn't a problem unless you enable them. I don't see what the problem is with carrier bloat. AFAIK, you actually have to launch them to have them running. Why would anyone do that then turn around and disable them. I have a bunch of AT&T carrier bloat but they are not enabled because I never launched them in the first place.

Try installing GSam battery monitor and post some stats using that to obtain the same info.

Attached From my Note 5 one which have Signal and Wifi On overnight. Other One i have recharged to 100%

So here's something interesting. I changed the WiFi active status to only stay on when plugged in not ALWAYS. So obviously GSM runs when not on battery and yet you can see WiFi is on the same time as Cell Radio. Makes Zero sense.

Thoughts?

So what's better, Doze, Shutapp or Greenify?

Shutapp and greenify are similar, they don't let the apps selected run in background . you won't receive notifications from these apps


Doze will block the apps you select from connecting to the Internet.

But you have right below that option the Allow always scanning on, turn that off.

Doze will block everything and only allow what you turn on. Very different.

That's not the point. I stream music all day at work, I use Waze (excellent app for navigation but excels in its ability to let you know of any and all traffic problems around you, ahead on your current road/hwy or on your planned route. There are millions of users who keep it updated. If you see a delay, cop, accident etc. you click on your Waze map and when others come up on it they give a thumbs up if its still there or state that its gone). For real time traffic updates along my route to work and back daily and enjoy reading, watching Netflix, facebook etc. while waiting for my kids at their practice after school.

I have PC at work and laptops and desktops at home but I got the large screen, speedy Note 3 to use as above and it would not get me through the day if not for the ability to replace with fresh batteries. I always have a fresh battery in my pocket so anytime I end up having to wait for some unplanned reason I can kill time with my Note 3 and not have to worry about running out of power.

I will only purchase Android phones with large screen, replaceable batteries and lots of horse power.

I thought Samsung was smart enough to know this. Most people buy iphones because its the trendy thing to do. I don't use any apple products for many reasons including over priced and over rated.

Sorry for going off track just making myself clear.

Give them a try and find out, you've been given 3 choices. I chose Greenify after reading about it on Drippler and am very satisfied. YMMV
