Galaxy note 4 battery consumption when using it topic
Hi
I've recently purchased a Note 4 and it was already updated to Lollipop (currently running N910FXXU1BOC3). I've owned a Galaxy S2 and a Note 3.
This Note 4 is a marvellous phone but is BY FAR the worst in terms of battery consumption when using it. I'm not sure if this is somewhat normal or my phone is defective but here are some examples.
- When I commute to work (about 45 mins door to door) I use the phone to listen music, browse on facebook, check email. Normal stuff. When I'm at the office after 45 mins I'm easily at 87/88% battery remaining. The Note 3 was probably in worst cases at 92% or even more.
- Filming a video (at an average resolution) for around 30 mins sucked probably 30% of my battery (I can't remember exactly) and the phone was very hot at the end.
- When browsing on internet or doing "standard" stuff, I can easily see the percentage going down by numbers. It's probably 1% every 2/3 mins.
- Right now I'm at 81% of battery: battery stats says about 12 hours remaining, 2h 51mins with battery.
- GSAM Battery monitor says an average duration of 13:56. Average values are duration 23h 34m (11h 35m active) and screen 3h 28m (4h 48m Max).
I'm quite experienced and I checked pretty much everything and I don't see drains. In fact the phone does keep a very good battery when it's not used [by the way, by the time I wrote 81% a two lines above, it's now at 80% just because I checked battery stats...how much, a couple of minutes?], there does not seem to be a battery drain issue. It's just sucking too much battery when using it.
Some info: location is almost always off, brightess is auto at just one step above the minimum, I use LLama to switch off wifi when not used, gmail and email are synched every few hours, facebook has no push notification active (as you see I'm quite conservative).
Do you think I have a defective model or it's normal?
thanks
