This phone is only lasting me about 8 hours before my battery will die. What can I do to help out my battery?

download an app call battery calibration, then after a full night of charging, go to that app and calibrate with the charger plug still in, after its done reboot phone and take it off the charger. drain the battery until it shuts off by itself. charge it back up while its off. then continue to use as normal. wait a couple days to see if the battery gets any better. my phone doesnt last too long either, im thinking of replacing the battery to see if thats the problem
Try removing some apps, that worked for me there was some apps that were sucking up my battery.

slap on a extended battery!
Kiss it three times, say two Hail Mary's and toss it over your left shoulder.
No seriously, battery life is very dependent on many things, and your statement doesn't come close to providing enough information for anyone to give you any real help. At minimum you need to provide the following during your 8 hours ...
- Total Display on time
- Brightness setting
- What you have auto syncing and how often
- Average signal strength
- Usage pattern (web browsing, calls, streaming video, etc.)
- Widgets on your home screens
- Screenshots of your battery usage and graph
My phone will also last around 8 hours if im constantly using it.
Thanks everyone for the responses. I will try out all the advice.

With moderate use, I get about 20 hours. With heavy use I get about 10-12. It's still enough to get me through the day
Love this phone!

I got me a 3500mah monster of a battery and I never worry about battery life. The other day I had gone 39 hrs and still had 42% left. Sick.
Thats sweet. Sadly l, i still have the one shipped with the phone. So, for the battery i have, is it good life?
Sent from The Chaotic Void.
idk but looks pretty good to me i will check when mine is at 7 hours if it even lasts that long lol since i keep my wifi on and just use a taskkiller
Did you ever check?

I'm usually pretty friggin happy when mine lasts 6 hours...

Yours looks pretty good! I typically get about 8-9 hours off a stock battery with medium use.
I get better battery life without disabling any of that..excluding 3g since I don't need it.
I don't get why people buy a smartphone and disable all the smart phone features..........
What rom are you running?

So far I've experienced excellent battery. I charged it fully when I got it home, and then unplugged it. Here are my results on an uncalibrated battery with moderate use except for when it sat overnight.

Good one.
My Photon can get me 4 hrs under the same conditions. Let's hope the battery will get better after a few recharge.

From A thread over at androidCentrel posting Epic Touch usage.
Tkemack
Screen On & awake look to be on roughly 70 - 75% use within 14 hr
Photon doesn't come close to such battery performance .
I'm looking forward to some Touch custom roms Battery life will get even better.
Im in debate battery life seems decent for me but no where near what other people are posting. I got 9hrs so far and im at 20 percent with screen on for 4 hours. Dodnt play any games just some web, text and xda. Does this seem right?
The first four hours the powersaver settings were still on. So wifi on, no 3g,4g,no auto sync,brightness at 10 percent.
Last five hours Auto sync is on. Brightness is 25 percent. 3 mail accounts with mail only and I've only had 1 email pushed the whole time. 4g off. Wifi only the whole time no 3g. Screen timeout 30 seconds.

So, at some point I turned off my phone and I -think- the sudden spike down in battery life is around that time.
Anyone got any explanations?

Mine has done that as well a couple of times. One time I had a charge of around 75%...rebooted my phone, and the battery was down to 15% percent.
Maybe it's just another bug we'll have to deal with until they come out with a fix.
thats strange mine doesnt have that much of a dip
every samsung product I have does this, gt 7, gt 10.1, droid charge, and this one. I don't recall my og droid, evo 4g or 3d doing this.
All phones show a dip when there is a battery pull while the phone is on....

Wasn't a pull, just a shutdown and reboot.

Stock battery stats lol

well if your phone was rebooted then that bald would have been reset because it displays monitors since last power-on.
there seems to be a bug where the cpu fails to underclock after a certain amount of usage and/or load. rebooting after intensive apps and/or before leaving the phone idle for extended periods of time seems to solve the problem for me. yes i get that too.

just press on top after you press battery usage on the screen that shows you the battery usage.
Usually I can go a full 16 hour work day without needing an extra charge, then last week it started not holding the charge so well. In fact Tuesday it had 30% and I left the house for half an hour, and when I came back the phone had shut off and was at 0. I hadn't even touched it. I am on a mix of Wi-Fi and LTE. Anyway, that was odd. Now look at the battery usage...

Do you have a screenshot of the stats when the battery went all out of whack?

My android system has been going crazy the last week or so, usually would be at 5% our do but lately has been 40+ easy... been to lazy to wipe and re flash as I'm sure that will fix the issue, but lately I've been near power all the time so it hasn't really bothered me.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I flashed with Highonandroid and got 30+ hours. Probably could have gotten double if I didn't kill half of it installing all my apps back on.
What rom are you using?
On the stock image I was only getting 9 hours.

if you are not using a phone, turn it off and the battery will hold charge for many, many days.
I have the black AT&T Note 4 32GB and I consistently have about 2 and 15 hours of screen on time. I have a apps that monitor apps and no app seems be taking abnormal amounts of usage. Also the apps say my battery health is good and this phone is only about 5 months old. Even with turning screen brightness to min and turning off any signal using services I can't get pass 2 Hours and 30 minutes. The phone's running Android 5.1 although the problem persisted with Android 4.4 too. Please help me as I want to make sure I know what the problem is before returning the phone or buying a new battery.
Try charging the phone, power off and on, then remove from charger after the phone boots into android. This helps a bit with my battery life. Try disabling advanced LTE options in mobile networks as well. This is a bit subjective, but does the phone get hot?

The method didn't make any noticeable difference. I never have advanced mode on as well. My phone only gets hot (not warm) when I'm charging my phone but during heavy game-play or intense YouTube resolution video it's barely even warm. Sorry if I'm not giving you enough info. Just came from an iPhone and to be honest. It's battery life is disappointing.
