Why is the battery life on my Note 4 low?

Try what I said in post number 151. Right next to what you said here.

I installed GSAM but if the thing just says Android System and Kernel are hogging up battery how can you determine from there what the cause or specefic app is?
 
My battery life is VERY good easily best phone I have ever had. I get usually 1.5-2 DAYS of battery before the 5% dimmed screen.

Re: Battery life on Note 4

Are you using the stock wall charger that comes with it? Or a different one. The cord is usually always a problem if its a cheap bootleg one.


I am having battery life issues as well. I have data turned off and have only been using wifi. My screen brightness is auto and I have fully charged my phone up to 100% twice. During charge, I keep my phone sleeping. At 2:20 today, my phone was at 20% so I began to charge it. It is now 9:39 and I am at 80%!! Wifi has been off since charging, and i have only texted a few times..power saving mode is on as well but It doesnt seem to be doing anything. Someone please help me! What am I doing wrong?!:'(

BTW fast charge is checked off! It is just grayed out (I cannot uncheck it)
 
Re: Battery life on Note 4

I'm on T-Mobile i can get anywhere from 10-14 hrs depending how heavy i use it and im a pretty heavy user. No complaints way better than my note 3 which i had to keep by the charger all day cause it would die in like 4 hrs. Also bat only goes down 3% from being unplugged for 8 hrs while i sleep

P.s. android system and os is always 20%+ for me

Got Battery Drain? Kill the Samsung Quick Connect and Samsung Updates Apps

Try killing the Samsung quick connect app and the Samsung updates app in the background running applications. This helped my battery drain significantly.

I had the android index running 40% prior to killing the above mentioned apps and the phone would get pretty warm. Anytime you have an application eating more than the screen there's something wrong...

Re: Got Battery Drain? Kill the Samsung Quick Connect and Samsung Updates Apps

doesn't the image show screen time 13%?

what is interesting is, I have three GMAIL accounts (the bulk of emails) and two MAIL accounts (using the stock app) both which are IMAP, with I think 15 or 30 min sync's but they get mail immediately similar to PUSH, but I don't know where that setting is - and yet, the MAIL doesn't even show up as battery usage top 10
 
Re: Battery life on Note 4

Alright so I was getting about 3.5 hours of on screen time. Few things I did and I'm at 58% right now with 2.5 hours on screen...

1. Use the charger the phone came with
2. Let your phone die completely and then charge.
3. Turn your screen brightness off auto and adjust accordingly, I'm mostly 10-20% from the left when I'm inside

Not sure if this is what solved my issue but one of these things helped if not all..

Also I think your mobile connection will also affect your battery life

Re: Battery life on Note 4

My brightness is about 50%, it seems that there is VERY LITTLE difference between about 40-60%, it just doesn't show up much change - so might as well err on the low side.

How are you getting this? My Gmail is using 24%.
 
Re: Battery life on Note 4

The screen percentage isn't just the display brighteness. It takes into account how often you are on your phone......you know, the power to illuminate the screen and keep it going so you can use your phone.....that sort of thing. I'm going down about 4% an hour, too.

So that's 6 hours 24 mins on screen time
