Why is the battery life on my Note 4 low?

Re: Battery life on Note 4

The charger that came with it is a 9v charger

I noticed that it is different than the Note 3 charger. I have been using mine since I got it and just charged with the one that came with the phone. When I plugged it in it said something about fast charging. Never saw it with the Note 3 cord.

Re: Battery life on Note 4

I got my Note 4 Friday also. the battery life has been so crappy. My first problem was my apps wouldn't download. I had to restart it a few times before they started to download. I have AT&T it's been freezing and I have to take the battery out to get it to reboot. I even tried waiting like 20 mins before removing the battery. Then AT&T ready to Go keeps popping up randomly. Im pretty tech savy and awesome with devices. I took 40 + pics at a wedding yesterday and only like 11 are viewable they rest are shady gray squares and none of the videos work. I fully charged the battery multiple times including before use. I have turned off background data which seem to help today. All location info is off that helped. I turned the screen brightness down and put it on power save. I then turned off AT&T apps that can preloaded that were running in the background it helped. But it's still not good. My daughter got the Samsung Galaxy S5 also she's a heavy phone user and after being gone all day to the wedding taking pics videos she charged one time to my 3 times yesterday. Today she's been on it all day and she hasn't charged at all since 8 am and battery is still at 75 %. I'm so annoyed right now. I did some research and found that Nexus users are also complaining about the exact same thing. Because of other issued I'm exchanging the phone in the morning. Forgot: including since 11 am Friday I have been removing the battery 2-3 times daily for freezing. When I say freezing I mean it doesn't respond to any touch or button pressing soft resetting for over 15-20 mins at times an hour plus. It's a new device I've already factor reset and not doing it again

Looks like you have a bad phone.

Been following this thread. Something is wrong and AT&T needs to post the update. Losing 1% every 6 minutes on average. My S5 on heavy usage is way better.

I'm on ATT and don't have bad battery life at all. I lose about 2-3% an hour.

Re: Battery life on Note 4

The first day I picked it up it came at around 50% and it dropped fast. But once I did the first full overnight charge its been great. Not heavy use but a fair bit of pictures and videos at the pumpkin farm today. Yesterday was similar with heavier use.

Amazing battery life for me. Went a whole day without charging.

Re: Battery life on Note 4

First day when I was tinkering with everything it got me through the day. Now it has lasted yesterday and pretty much most of today. I am pretty impressed so far.

Re: Battery life on Note 4

Ok so here's the deal...typical Sunday for me. I put a full battery in at 9 am. Went to church this am so a few hours without use. Was on the forums/Facebook/whatever else for a few hours. Streamed a little Pandora maybe mmm...8 songs. Went back to church so no use there. This is what I have. I'm at 17%. I'd say it's decent, but what do I know

From my smokin' hot N4

Anything over 5 hours is very good.

Reduce all wallpaper,screen brightness,volume etc. Always don't keep for charging or over charging.

Re: Battery life on Note 4

Hey guys. I have had my note 4 on ATT since Thursday and the battery life has been incredible. Pulled it off the charger on Saturday morning around 10am, Sunday evening plugged it in with about 25% battery still left. I did a lot of traveling Saturday, went to a wedding, took a bunch of pictures. Checked fantasy stats constantly Sunday. So far I'd say this thing is a beast. Bluetooth was on the whole time, as was wifi even when I was not connected. NFC off, GPS on low accuracy/power save.

Re: Battery life on Note 4

Besides the rapid charge charging faster, is it OK to use that as the primary method of charging? Any pros or cons of using that versus the regular slow charge?

15 plus hours is pretty good. Some people will **** and moan about anything.
