I hate to go out buying new batteries if that's not the problem and the phone is only 3 days old. That and I hate the fact I cannot turn off 4G. I can do this with iPhone and I get gre as t service. With 4G on inside at work I can hardly send images or talk on phone. But I was hoping the note 4 would be better with service. I hoped lol

I hear what you are saying but I'm telling you it happens. The battery is $13. On amazon. If you don't want to do that take it to Verizon and they will do a load test on it. Maybe give you a new battery. My advice, stop wasting time on what it could be and get a new battery. I did this for a month with my wife's S5. New battery fixed everything.

I used to be in T-Mobile and switch to Verizon because of g.nexus.... i got the phone last Monday so its been 5days playing with this phone, I've notice that it consume a lot of my data for five days and I check the built in data usage and I've already used 1.12g.. I turn off all my email ,fb sync... I don't watch video just regularly checking mail and browsing some site..I also installed the onavo apps from market to tweak my data usage.
Can anybody confirm that there g.nexus also consume data a lot.

I use less than 50MB in a day of heavy use...
But I use all wifi at home and any time I happen to be sitting in or near a starbucks etc.
It's ALL about usage pattern.

This is the first thing you need to do. The phone itself just doesn't magically suck data--it's one of your apps.

When you got the phone and signed into your Google account did all your previous apps download? That will consume a lot of data.

This is a misconception. 4G uses the same amount of data as 3G for the same task. It doesn't matter how much quicker it is. To use more data, you have to be doing more things, not the same things quicker.
I bought a non subsidized GNex with unlimited data on TMoUSA, so I don't even worry about how much data I use.

That's pretty terrible even if it's not conditioned yet. Especially because it sounds like you have only light use. You may want to take it back and replace the battery. Either that or you're in an area with terrible signal.

Take it back and get a new one. I just bought one on friday and even with heavy use my battery has lasted 20+ hours.
Sounds like a bad battery then. Happened to me on another phone. I just asked for a new battery and they gave it to me no problem.
I don't even have full bars and I get a minimum of 12 hours on pretty semi heavy use. I don't use wifi and I get at least 3-3.5 hours of screen on time.

A sales only store is unlikely to have any batteries on hand, we hoard a ton of new and used ones at my store, but we're a repair store...we're always getting folks coming from sales only stores for batteries.

Excellent news, glad it worked out. Where did you end up getting your battery? And if you don't mind me asking, how much did it set you back?
Apps like Facebook would drain my battery really fast. I use friendcaster now. Also make sure your not using the wireless location in the gps setting.

Hi everyone I got my phone 4 days ago and have been through charge cycles but my battery life sucks. I only get a Max of 2hrs on screen time and 12 hours with the phone on (if its in airplane mode the whole time). Also, it takes forever to charge. I charged it from 7pm to 10:30pm and it went from 2% to 34%. And as i type this message (on wifi) I lost 3% battery life. What should I do?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Also it seems that display takes up 50% battery (which is good) but as soon as I send one text, phone immediately goes to 50% and display down to 18%. It stays that way all day and rebooting does not help. And the battery percent goes up and down without charging. And yes I have calibrated it multiple times

Yup, I can get 4+ hours screen time, not on power saver. You need to swap your phone out, something's not right.
Something is definitely wrong. I had a 45 minute conversation in my car today with the screen on for navigation and it only drained 15%. I was quite impressed.

Call up T-Mobile and tell them your battery is defective and they will send you a new one free of charge. Plus you can keep your old one.

Most likely, you have a lemon, and you should exchange it.

Then they'll start charging. My friends Sensation legit needed a back cover for his phone (power button was shot and volume rocker fell out) but he couldn't get one from HTC after three attempts.
Try doing a factory reset. It helped on my S3.

Lately my data use has quadrupled and I use WiFi about 90% of the time. I've used 65 % of my 10gb. I have a week to go. I just switched us to mobile share last month. I am wondering if I have something wrong with my phone.
What makes you think its you and not someone else on the share plan?

Well a little history is in order I suppose.
I've never come close to my 3GB cap. When I started in mobile share, I signed up for the 6 GB plan. Within two weeks I was at 65% of allotted use, so I switched to 10GB. Two weeks later I was again approaching the limit. I don't stream video, or Pandora, or anything like that. Something in my device is constantly connecting to 4G I'm seeing dumps of 50-60 MB at a time when I know for sure I'm home and on wifi.
I've seen what you guys are have been talking about. I don't download music or anything just average use like Pandora, Facebook, and of course xda.... And where I used to use around 4 ro 5 gigs a month my last bill showed I had used 17.2 gigs. Glad I'm grandfathered in on the unlimited plan. But seems strange how data has went up so drastically but I haven't changed the way I've used this phone and I've had it since the day it came out.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
What rom are you running? I'm on rooted stock jelly bean. I've never seen data use like I am seeing

Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
That's what I'm experiencing as well.
I just noticed something. When connected to Wi-Fi I still see the 4g lte indicator. It didn't turn off until I switched on airplane mode then enabled Wi-Fi after I disabled airplane mode, the mobile indicator stayed off. I wonder if mobile data isn't shutting off when I have Wi-Fi enabled.
Did you install any new apps when you started to notice this happening?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Nope. Just updated to rooted stock jellybean.

I can confirm this on stock rooted JB...I've gone through 3 GB of data and I haven't even been downloading/streaming. If you use Avast! AV there's a network monitor that tracks your data usage. Mine says "system apps" are responsible for the heavy usage, but doesn't specify which apps.
Given a rooted device, BetterBatteryStats can track data usage with (theoretically - without knowing exactly what the problem is, this is an educated guess) a better breakdown of services than just "system data". Might be worth a try.

Yo!
I hope im posting this in the right thread. Im experiencing bad battery drainage. I will charge my phone at least 3 times a day. Once fully charged it will last usually 2 hours if im on it off and on. Until it hits 30% then it will turn my radio off, and i will have no connection. So i restart my phone and it will come back on with 2%! UGH! Ive tried conditioning my battery by draining completely and charging completely. Maybe its a lemon, i dunno. So has anyone out there experienced this same issue?
Thank you for any info i can get!

What ROM are you using? Stock or custom kernel? If custom kernel which one?
Mostly sounds like a bad battery to me. This has been showing up more often over the past couple of months. This device has gotten up in age and the batteries are giving out. Even users who have only had the device for a few months have seen this happening. While the purchase of the device maybe recent there is a good chance it has been sitting around at the store or a warehouse for a while.

If you want to save a few steps I suggest skipping rooting. Just Odin a custom recovery then flash a custom ROM. All custom ROMs are rooted already so the only reason you would need to root is if you plan on sticking with the stock ROM.
