HOW DO I END THIS! I CANNOT STAND THE POOR BATTERY LIFE ANYMORE!
Seriously though, what should I do? I will try anything to improve this.
Getting like 3 hours SoT on my Note 5
>>53994000
Killing yourself would be a great start.
>>53994000
Reset your phone to factory settings and re-install and configure your apps from scratch.
It works for most battery drain issues.
>>53994042
Oh alright, thanks man. What do you think the issue is in the first place?
Phone is fairly new, so I don't know why it is acting up like this. Before I was getting like 5 hours or so.
>>53994000
Buy a new battery.
Oh you can't just put a new one in?
Well that's like you're fault then you stupid fuck
>>53994022
No thanks. I have a pretty successful, and happy life. Maybe you should go that route, fucking kissless neet.
>>53994060
Battery has no problem at all you cunt.
>tfw Galaxy s6
>Have to bring a charger with me to school so it doesn't die in 8 hours while in my pocket 80% of the time
well not too much longer until I upgrade I guess.
>>53994082
Feels. More of my battery is wasted in standby than by the actual screen.
I wake up at 6:30am and now it is 8:39pm, so it last a long time... but I need more SoT.
>>53994105
>14 hours
mine will literally die if I so much as browse 4chan for an hour during break within 6 hours.
although in part its because I get no reception in the building so it destroys the battery that way, but still.
>>53994000
>stop: roaming, using facebook-type apps, setting screen at highest brightness, using you phone for stuff other than making phonecalls
>Set: location settings to battery saver, brightness to auto, your phone on places where it's easy to get cell signals instead of close to your greasy body or enclosed in proximity to metals
>disable: google now
>>53994000
why did you buy such a shitty phone?
>>53994143
>disable google now
Google Now is amazing, and doesn't destroy your battery anymore.
Facebook on the other hand shouldn't even be allowed to exist. It's such a shit app. Snapchat is up there as well, but holy christ Facebook is an impressive mess.

>>53994865
Does it save battery?
>>53994915
it helps minorly, enough to make a difference together.
Also its the best launcher you can possibly get
>>53994906
>>53994194
>>53994143
I disable all of that.
GPS or Location is off
Bluetooth is off
NFC is off
Wifi is off when I am away from home
And screen is at around 25%
>>53994932
I do agree on that. Plus I like the Android 6 icons.
>>53994883
I like the colors and shit on the screen much more.

>"I can't stand my battery"
Kik: probably the most wakelocks from a social app after FB Messenger
Snap: absolutely terrible Android port, keeps both front/rear cameras on at all time during use and doesn't even use them, instead takes a fucking screenshot
Cell standby: means your data connection was weak as fuck, fluctuated too much
Get rid of Kik and you can probably save 30 mins of SOT alone

>>53995240
>>53995293
I really do need kik... Most of my friends use it.
>>53995287
How much would this improve?
>>53995533
they are your friends and you don't use your actual number?
>>53995293
>>53995533
Messenger is the not-so-better better option for your friends. I move between Messenger and WhatsApp, and WA is considerably better with only three proprietary alarms and one wakelock compared to the dozens of GCM pushes Messenger gives. If you really need Kik, then go for it. Just know that most of their alarms aren't blockable or they end up breaking the functionality of push notifications.
>>53996162
>I don't want to reveal any personal information when talking to strangers on the internet

Yet you use Kik? Good luck with that.

Are you stupid or have you just never used kik before? It doesn't give the person anything but your handle.

14 hours is bad battery life
good lord this generation would not win another would war
Coming from someone who owns a Note 5 and an iPhone SE, I cannot fucking understand how I can be playing music, browsing Facebook and/or playing games on my iPhone while my Note 5 loses battery faster just by idling.
The biggest culprit, I think, is the insane screen resolution on premium Android phones. 1440p is fucking overkill.
>>53994000
nice trips
I think if y'all stop caring so much it wouldn't be a big deal.
I have a Nexus 5X and I don't manage anything of the phone.
I have all the shit apps, Facebook, Messenger and Snapchat... and yes I especially hate how fucking bad Snapchat is. It makes me mad that a popular app like this is so shit on Android and that its developer is basically an iosnigger. I don't get how hard is it to optimize a simple app like Snapchat.
Wifi, Location, Cellular Data are always on.
Bluetooth is off because I have no use for it.
Brightness is at auto 40-50%.
I don't have none of that shit like Greenify.
My phone usage is pretty normie as it gets.
But I comfortably get a day out of this phone, you know leave home early come back home during the evening (between 4-7pm) and I'm probably around 20-50%. It would probably be even better if I had a Nexus 6P.
If you were to ask my SoT, it would probably be no better than your Note 5 on average. Depending on how I use it I get 2-4 hours of SoT. 2 hours SoT being something like being out and about during the whole day and using the camera a whole lot. 5 hours being like staying in house the whole day and just using my phone constantly.
Is it disappointing that my phone would have trouble reaching lets say midnight? Yeah, but honestly you stop caring because I rarely need it to reach midnight. Plus this phone has quick charge so if I were to plug it in for 10-20 minutes mid day that would give me a big boost.
If you have a lifestyle where a phones battery NEEDS to get you till midnight, there really isn't a phone for that which kinda sucks. Just get an external powerbank or a battery case. I have a friend who has an S6 with a battery case, he has a pretty heavy usage and the S6+3500mAh battery case comfortably gets him till midnight.
Get cyanogenmod

Yeah, 8 hours SoT.

Jesus it's like people who buy Samsung phones are way too stupid to configure their phones. Change your settings to use the least power. In settings > battery there is an option for app optimization, set everything but the essentials to always power save.
Turn off location services except for when you're explicitly using them.
Turn off auto brightness, it sucks anyways.
Stop your 50 apps from syncing.
Turn off push services in texts.
Turn off Samsung push services.
Don't tell every app to auto update even over wifi.
There are plenty other things.
S7e here, don't even struggle to get pic related
Just put a bigger battery in it.
>>53998361
>over 100 hours on, 14 hours use
Wow, that's actually... I dunno it seems awful. What do you get in a straight line?
>>53998380
Screen time is mostly the only constraint.
In regular use, without power savings and streaming video over wifi all day, I can get about the same SoT in just over 2 days. I think I got 23 hours of 1080 media from storage one day, brightness on low.
>>53994000
Switch to 3G/WCDMA.
I had red + orange reception with 4G, and now it's all green + dark green with WCDMA/3G.
My standby is like 2x longer too.
>>53998350
I have done most of this dude. I am not an idiot.

>>54000143
I dont use whatsapp.
I never ever had battery problems with my phones, I don't know how people get to that stage.. Right now I have Galaxy A3, not at all a flagship as you know, but battery lasts me morning to night no problem.. Screen on full brightness, wifi always on, using fb app sometimes, WhatsApp, various email clients (stock, Gmail, Yahoo, proton).. Yesterday I was lurking 4chan tough out the day, I cycled for 2 hours using GPS tracking, fair amount of phonecalls, end of the day- 30% battery.. I only use data when I need to check emails where I have no wifi, so that's the only thing I'm conservative about in using my phone.. And I'm not playing games on my phone because I'm not a fag..
>>54000244
Yea I dont play any games either or anything.
I literally only use my Phone to browse 4chan with Clover, kik, and calling.
>>54000244
Your battery will lose half it's capacity in less than a year if you're dropping to 30% every day. http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries
Sony Xperia Z3 here. 50% brightness. Ayy lmao.
>>54000289
All my phones acted in similar way before, never had problems.. It's not liked I don't change my phone's every 2-3 years.. I'm charging every night, I don't care if it's on 50% or 10 at the end of the day, I need it to last the next day..

OP here
I am disabling and uninstalling a lot of shit right now. I noticed that my available RAM increased by a lot.
I will install Nova Launcher and keep messing around with the phone a bit. I think that all of this would work.

Why the fuck do you keep buying those shitty korean phones? Buy a chinese phone with 4Ah+ battery instead, its not like you would ever need the latest CPU.
Mfw i charged my phone on friday morning, spent the weekend in another city, 20% battery left when i came home at sunday night.

You think that Nova and turning off animations or settimg them quicker helps?
>>54000480
I will man. In the future I will get one of those with the 6,000mAh batteries and higher.
>>54000509
I will delete Snapchat, kik I actually do need. So I will install a modded one at least, dark black to help with my amoled display.
>>54000488
Lucky...
>>53994000
Install cyanogenmod
Thats it
>>54000615
My phone is carrier locked, so if I wanna switch phones in a year through Jump I cant.
If you can, root. Use kernel auditor to enable aggressive power saving on the cores, which makes them turn off when not in use. Under clocking the processor when not needed (Kik, 4chan, web browsing, YouTube, etc) helps a ton as well, since lower speeds use a lower voltage. Also, install a custom kernel which allows to undervolt. An app called wake lock detector will show you what's keeping your phone awake. Honestly, I use Kik more than any other messaging app and get 6+ hours of sot.
>>53994968
>>53994951
Cell standby battery drains when you have a poor or no connection to cell towers. It's the attempt to reconnect going over and over again. For some reason it takes up way too much battery. Seems like a universal android problem, or at least fairly common.
>>54000615
On a note 5?
>>54000692
There is a awesome community on XDA that mot likely have several unofficial builds available for you to download and flash
>>54000576
Forgot pic, sorry. I was using bloatjizz lollipop before with nova. I am still using nova, which actually doesn't consume much power at all. I think the main reason of the better battery life is getting rid of touchjizz and updating to 6.0.1. Everything runs smoother too. Btw my SoT was at 3 hours when I took this screenshot.
Is rooting or flashing a rom an option? If not you can try greenify.
>>54000681
I dont think that I would undervolt because I really dont wanna mess something up. But I would do the rest that you mentioned.
>>54000779
No problem man, appreciate it.
Not flashing, but I could root. As long as I can go back to normal.
>>54000683
Yea I noticed this also my connection is not bad. Like right now I have full bars 4G LTE
>>54000779
Forgot to mention that 6.0.1 has not rolled out for T-Mobile Note 5 users, can't wait until it does.
OP here
Android System is consuming a lot of my battery.
>>53994082
Is this a joke? wtf are you doing?
I'll happily run my phone all day with it going ded.
>>54000710
Can i flash them without a PC if i am already rooted?
>>54000878
3-5% is normal
Buy a computer to chat with pals. Buy a cellular phone to make phone calls and send short messages. Buy a camera to take photos. Buy a portable ogg player to listen to music whilst out.
>>53994000
Do you have low signal everywhere? That's what it kill sthe battery, the phone keeps searching for signal or network, you can use the airplane mode or take out the sim card and use a dumbphone for it.
>>54000896
Yes, TWRP or some random rom flasher like mobile odin
>>54000710
A fresh minimalistic ROM and a undervolting kernel will definitely help.
>>54000832
AFAIK you can unroot a note 5 by flashing the custom rom with odin but you said that you can't flash it. BTW why isn't flashing isn't an option? Is your bootloader locked?
>>54000943
I believe KNOX will get triggered when a ROM is flashed but there are ways to fix that.
>>54000943
>>54000988
I could flash but I will need to return the phone in a year or so to use the T-Mobile jump.
>>54000858
Well I live in a country which gets OTA updates delivered a bit later than other countries. I was already sick of touchjizz and my warranty will expire in a month so I bit the bullet and flashed CM 3 days ago.
>>54000900
No I have good signal in most places.

Why the fuck do people buy phones with high res screens and busty ass processors then complain about battery life?
>>54002295
honestly this.
2 Hour SoT rn
>>54002600
it's fine nigger 4h~ sot on your phone is fine..
>>54002736
First of all I am not a nigger Richard.
4 hours is not that bad, it is fairly decent. Thing is some people can get like 6 hours SoT or more on this thing, and I used to get like 5. I know that I can do better, and I will.
>>54001162
One reason why I have not flashed a ROM, the camera becomes total shit.
And yea true that. iPhones probably have worse battery life.
>>53994000
Everyone in this thread who is too fucking retarded to figure out how to get decent battery life on their smartphones should just give up and go back to dumbphones, clearly too stupid to live.
>>54003395
>>54003395
You faggots are so fucking annoying with this shit. I shouldn't have to tweak my fucking phone to death. I shouldn't need to change every setting just to make the battery decent. It's technology. It's supposed to make my life EASIER. It's supposed to work while requiring as little interference by the user as possible. That's the fucking point of technology
>>54003676
It's the exact same problem on Windows, what everyone calls "Windows rot" is the same as "Battery drain" on Android; idiots install all sorts of stupid shit and turn on every feature and then wonder why their device runs like dogshit and the battery drains in half a day.
>>54003676
Honestly, unless you've got your brightness up to max all day long, you shouldn't have that bad of a battery life.
I out mine at about 20%, which is completely usable in any light but direct sunlight, and my moto e lasts 12 hours+. The fuck do you guys do on your phones? I play games, read comics and watch YouTube on top of the usual phone shit.
>>53994000
purchase a Nexus 6P
>>54005050
Jeez that is fucking good.
>>53994022
This.
>>54003743
Yeah it's weird, a lot of android users seem to forget that their phones/phablets/tablets are low-powered mobile devices and then get angry when using them more like a computer makes the battery life go to shit.
If you want a fucking laptop, get a laptop. Let your smartphone be a smartphone and you won't have these issues.
>>54002295
In all reality better CPUs should *improve* battery life with normal use cases because of the race to idle: a fast CPU gets back to a resting state more quickly than a slow CPU and thus uses less energy.
The real problem is users doing shit outside the normal use case with said CPU. Race to idle doesn't matter if you're keeping it from sleeping with shitloads of processes, not mention bullshit like torrenting on a phone. It's like using a golf cart to pull a trailer and complaining that your gas milage sucks.
