My note 4 battery is draining rapidly after the lollipop update. I've read that some have had to do a factory reset and that has resolved the issue but (and forgive me for asking) doesn't that wipe everything from your phone? There has to be a better way. I've got so much music and pictures I don't want to lose and I'm not very savvy when it comes to transferring stuff.
Any thoughts? It's much appreciated!!!
I am having the same issue. Yes factory reset will wipe phone. I did a factory reset before installing rom. But still have battery drain.

Well that isn't good news. I've noticed it takes longer to charge than normal too. I hope there's a fix for this soon.
I just did a factory reset I'll post my experience after I give it time

I'll turn blue in the face saying this. People just don't get it.
Battery life will probably suck at first
Phone probably will run hot at first
Phone probably will lag/stutter
Phone might have graphical glitches
...if you have any problems like these, factory reset and STILL give it a few days.
I factory reset mine last night after 24hrs and it seems a tiny bit better but. ANDROID SYSTEM is still at the top of my stats and its climbing in percentage and im on wifi ac

I REALLY don't want to have to do a factory reset. I sure hope it gets better as 'blue in the face' poster says. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Please let me know if anyone has any positive changes over the next few days without doing a reset or if you find anything else that works besides a reset.
Thanks for the feedback everyone!

Sorry you are having issues, but I am not. I get 5-6 hours of screen time on, 18+ hours. There has to be something some are doing that others aren't? Or maybe a certain app that doesn't agree with LP that some don't have installed.

Settings> Data usage> Mobile Data> uncheck enhanced 4G lte services
On kitkat I was seeing 5-6.5 hours of screen time. Now on lollipop I get about 4-4.5 Hours. I have done a clean factory install and wiped the cache. Android system is always at the top for me as well and it wasn't with kitkat. I actually have less apps and data on my phone now than I did on kitKat because I wiped everything. Ive been using lollipop for about a week now. This is obviously an issue within lollipop itself. I have mirrored the same settings that i had in kitkat, disabled as many useless apps and files that i can, and I'm using it exactly as I was on kitkat. Can someone just root this phone already?! PLEASE? (I won't hold my breath lol)

I noticed that just by changing that setting I get two days easy on one charge, please note that when I say two days I'm not on my phone all the time, typically I pull my phone out at work for demo purposes, I'm browsing the Internet on down time, I'm streaming music on my drive home or I'm texting or playing a simple game. Anyways, not sure why the enhanced services drains battery so badly but after I turned it off on kk and updated it was back on and I had horrible battery life, was gonna factory reset but then checked this and it was on again so now I'm back up to two days on a charge.
My first day running Lollipop I got around 5.5 hrs SOT and phone was on for more than 13 hrs and still had about 12% so I'm getting around the same battery life on heavy usage that I had on Kit Kat. I'm having no issues with Lollipop as of now. Before I downloaded Lollipop I moved all my important files to my SD card and then I updated. Right after the update, I went into recovery, cleared the cache and factory reset within recovery. I've had a very smooth experience ever since.

I have found a fix that has worked for me without resetting. I cleared my cache partition and now I'm back to almost as good as it was. Not quite 100%, but it's a drastic improvement. I'd suggest trying this before doing a factory reset. It worked for me.
And FYI, I tried waiting for as long as I could stand it and it didn't get even a little better.

No question about the Enhanced 4G LTE setting. I was already getting at least as good and probably marginally better battery life after 5.01. Turning off enhanced 4G services has given even much better battery life. Just as others have seen, Android system has dropped in usage. In fact it is amazing how long this phone can now go between charges.
After a week of 5.0.1 (see nothing difference of the interface cause ATT made it). I have to switch back to 4.4 for some of the features missing/not support and i got back my best battery life. It's ok in 5.0.1 but 4.4 battery is best.
In 5.0.1 i got around 3h screen time and it's drain faster.

My battery life used to be phenomenal. I would check at the end of basically every day and averaged 4-8 hours of actual Screen On time. The Screen would account for 40-55% of the usage, followed by all of the*apps*that I had used that day. Android System and Android OS would be pretty far down on the list.*
Now that I have 4.1.2, I'm lucky to hit 3 hours of Screen On time. And now Screen, Android System, and Android OS are accounting for 20% EACH.
I haven't changed any settings or the way that I used the phone. The only thing that has changed is the update.*Is anybody else experiencing this?
I've gotten bettery battery life since 4.1.2, significantly better. Try to perform a factory reset or it could be a faulty device.

Yep and I have more or less tried everything including tweaks galore, every suggestion I coukd find, and freezing several dozen apps.
Nothing can be done about this and my guess is Samsung have made an absolute mess of the update. My HTC loses maybe 1% overnight on a bad day, this loses way over 10%.
I'll prob end up switching back to 4.1.1 but unfortunately it doesnt have the tap to reflow feature in the browser (which I use a lot)... I wonder if I can remove it via titanium and restore the newer version which would have reflow on 4.1.1 ??
I have the same problem. As soon as I took my phone off the charger this morning it dropped to 99%. On 4.1.1 it used to last for a good 20 minutes before dropping to 99%. Also last night after about 6 hours of screen time Android System was at the top of my list. And that is with 20 or so system apps frozen or deleted from running.
What's the easiest way to go back to 4.1.1?

Well I dunno.. I have tried everything and there is definitely a battery drain issue. If it is caused by ebay/whatsapp + facebook, then I'm curious as to why they don't show up in battery usage or betterbatterystats... and I'm also curious why the exact same setup on my HTC EVO 3D does cause these horrendous idle battery drains.

Yeah already done all that and there doesnt actually seem to be anything using over like 5%.. I have elimated the higher one yet it still drains ovwr 10% at nite. Or in general idleness.
What I became accustomed to with my previous phones was 0% or 1% drain over many hours if the screen was off. Not 2% or more an hour.

That's specifically my DBT rom (stock everything as well) and I've had battery issues and to be honest, it's still better than most other phones, but I'm getting about 40% less life out of my device now.
I have flashed again, I've reset, and deleted everything and still no luck. It's something with the ROM. I hope the next update will fix it. If it doesn't, I'll revert back to 4.1.1 because I would go to bed with 50% battery life, now I have to charge in the middle of the day if I want to get through a long work day with lots of use.

Any other g2 users having major battery issues? Sprint g2, some apps and bloatware frozen/removed. Rooted as well. Battery dropped 38 percent in 4 hours with little to no use. Location services are off. Shows that android operating system using around 40 percent. Any idea of what is causing this? So far, not loving the update and the issues its having.
Absolutely not... Quite the opposite. I'm on a custom ROM but I used ZV7 ZV8 & ZVA before with no issues. That's one great thing about the G2 is the Snap Dragon processors are great on the battery, a charge lasts a long time and the battery never gets hot even with constant tethering and heavy usage. You should try the Snap Dragon battery guru app in the play store at: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xiam.snapdragon.app which is great for saving juice. Or takes a couple days to get full effect cause it learns your patterns and stops apps from refreshing during times when you don't use them, cuts of WiFi and or data during times when you aren't using it. Also I'd check your battery usage stats and see what processes are draining it the most. Is most likely an app or 2 draining a lot of your battery, so the battery guru will stop that from happening during times that you don't use those apps.

Its very common after a firmware update for a battery to go outta whack. It may be that you need to recalibrate it. After any firmware update its adviseable to so a factory reset at 100% battery level. Then use your phone normally till the battery dies and phone shuts down. Plug in the phone and let it charge to 100% while off. Turn it on, and use it till the batt dies again. Repeat charging to 100% with phone off.
That may solve your issue. Fully cycle the battery 2x.

I got the ZVC OTA, then I flashed the zvc .tot after accidently deleting supporting services for voice mail (Skyfire Observer and Sprint Extension provider) after flashing Im at 7hrs 30mins Screen Time surfing web with 15% battery left on first day, before that I got little over 6hrs with 0% battery and all the same apps. Do a factory reset after OTA that might help or flash the ZVC.tot for a complete fresh install like I did.
Just an FYI Swype connect is a known battery killer for some its mentioned on their forums and it sometimes runs even when all connect features are blocked.
Another thing block location services when not needed it will save a nice amount of battery life.

I think its a problem with 4.4.2, google is fixing that in 4.4.3. Also make sure Sprint Connections Optimizer is really off.
The only issue I've seen is Bluetooth showing up under battery stats as being used at around 50-55% yesterday with a runtime of over a day. I'm thinking its just a reporting bug since I haven't used Bluetooth at all and I don't see a noticeable drop in battery but if it is using it I'd definitely like to curb it.

I get 7.5 hrs and 15% battery left at 50% Brightness, location and autosync drain battery a lot as I mentioned before. Also use task manager to autoblock Sprint apps and uncheck Sprint Connections Optimizer it eats battery, Lastly Swype connect runs even when online features are disabled and eats battery, there are many complaints about that on Swype forum as well.
Im mostly on WiFI and have full signal due to Airave (no LTE) so I guess that helps too. All those things add up, I'm sure you can achieve that screen time as well.
By factory reset, do you guys mean in settings? I need to reset, but I don't have a computer at the moment so I can't reflash tot.
So has anyone noticed a severe drop in battery life since the LP update? My phone has dropped 6% using only XDA, on WiFi, and on 18% brightness. I can't go half a day before the bat is at 50%.

Mine is actually a bit better once I re-flashed stock and upgraded to lollipop, I had some stability issues when I flashed lollipop via twp. the tot restore method helped me.
I'm getting 4 1/2 hours + SOT and It's lasting me a whole day, on auto brightness.
My battery has been a bit better when the screen is not in use(i.e. sitting in pocket idle or streaming music), but it seems worse then before when the screen is on.

I've read about the heat issue but I haven't had it, BUT I did have to do a reset because my phone wouldn't after I first installed lollipop so that might be why I haven't had that issue.
Mines not that great either. I have greenify but not the xposed aspect, I have battery guru, I even installed a script which I normally don't do. All of this has helped minorly. Nothing like it was for me though. I factory reset when I flashed. Waiting to see if reports from official Ota has any differences.
Mine got bad first. Then I did a full factory reset and now its pretty good. Had 0% down after 12 hours at night. Normal workday usage went down from ~40% to ~25%. So instead of charging every other day I need to charge every 3 days.
I have thought about doing a factory reset to see if it helps. I know there was a cm app to backup your phone but idk if you need root. I have chosen to not root my phone, and wonder if you guys know of a good app to help backup my phone before doing so. Thanks.

Helium works well with early kitkat builds. the cloud backup option blows though. not too sure about using it on lollipop but being that it didn't work to well with late kitkat builds i doubt it'll be any better with lollipop.
also my battery life has gotten plenty better after updating and starting completely from scratch.
currently i'm sitting at 35% with 14hr and 17 min run time, auto brightness, wifi turned on and jumping back and fourth between lte because my router is going dead...
I received my S6 Edge on Wednesday and rooted it the same day via Ping Pong. I'm on G925TUVU1AOCG. Is that even the latest version? Anyways, battery life is literally ****. I can't get more than 2 hours of Screen on Time. Even my Galaxy Nexus from 2012 gets at least 2+ hours.
Is this because I'm not on the latest version, rooted, or something else people have experience with?

I went through this issue with my first S6. Re-root and download better battery stats - or CPU Spy. See if your phone is going into deep sleep. Mine was constantly kept awake by lli_pm_wlock. I couldn't find ANY information about it on the internet - but it was keeping the cores active and burning through battery like crazy. It would occasionally enter deep sleep, but only for a few minutes at a time.
I ended up returning the phone and getting my new S6 Edge. I tried everything - factory resets, flashing stock firmware via Odin, basically everything possible without tripping KNOX with a custom kernel.
My battery life has been awful. Specially after rooting with Ping Pong and specifically last night. 100% at 10PM, and at 11AM with 58 minutes of on screen time, the battery was at 13%. That is just horrible. Worst battery life I have ever gotten out of the phone.
Pains me to say it, but if the battery doesn't improve by unrooting it, and waiting for a future update to 5.1, I'll most likely change to a LG G4.

If you have it rooted install Better Battery Stats and figure out the problem. If it's a wakelock, the problem is it's just not going to sleep. Something is keeping the CPU active even when the screen is off and nothing is going on. It's a common problem on the rooted phones - but usually PingPong Root doesn't have the issue. Enter recovery (turn off - then power, vol up, home at the same time) and clear the cache. Reboot and run BBS for a while.

Pains me to say it, but if the battery doesn't improve by unrooting it, and waiting for a future update to 5.1, I'll most likely change to a LG G4.

Yea we're having very similar issues. I would try the G4, but the Edge is too beautiful!! This is the first time I've gotten a phone so soon after release, so I'm probably gonna stick it out for a month or 2 and wait for bug fixes.

So I purposely didn't charge it last night, and you can tell it has really really bad standby time.

Try disabling WiFi or set it to keep it on only when plugged in.

It's been really difficult for me to try to drain my phone to see my average screen on time.
But is this normal? I'm not sure what is a decent Deep Sleep percentage.
Btw: This is after I unrooted without factory reset.

That is not normal. Backup your data and flash stock firmware with SmartSwitch then restore what you want. See if that makes your battery last any longer.

I had horrible battery life when I got it out of box. It wouldn't last more than 5 hrs with very little use. After I flashed stock firmware with SmartSwitch, Battery+ RAM Usage issue got solved. Now I get whole day with single charge. I take my phone out from charger by 7 AM and by the time 10 PM in night, Phone would still have 35-40% battery left. I get many emails [50+], 2hrs of GPS+Music streaming + random facebook & Instagram and even after this, I get good battery life. So I would 1000% recommend that you do a flash stock firmware with SmartSwitch.

I tried using SmartSwitch and unfortunately, battery life was only a tiny bit better. However, I started getting a bunch of force closes, and the phone became laggier than before. I would try it again, but it's so much work resetting up my phone! ...especially without root.
So I ordered the G4. Hopefully I'll be getting the Note 5 in a few months .
I know my way around Android well enough I could probably teach a class. I've been excited for the Marshmallow update for my Verizon M9, mostly for the security update. Now I've got it, and udderly hate it. Not only is this marshmallow über soft and squishy, it's somehow managed to swallow the majority of my CPU--much like BOB from Monsters vs Aliens. Actually, the update is more like BOB than a delicious couple of calories. Tremendous lag from god knows where, constant freezing and other **** when in hpm--whether it be plugged in or not--which often crashes apps altogether or causes a reboot, keyboard latency of about 1.5seconds, network disconnecting when the device exceeds 120℉, ooh!, and the cherry on top: loss of data. I use my phone for both business/class-related stuff and for gaming/pleasure(shh, creeps) because I'm too broke to buy anything else. The front-facing speakers get glitcy and doing that pausing crap like when you drive outta radio range in a car. This was never a problem with Lollipop, but is making Android a living hell to deal with. MHL has yet to work on Marshmallow, and instead simply crashes the phone. Again. Can't find ANYthing ANYwhere about this. Both Verizon and HTC are refusing to talk to me directly about it; keep getting passed to the next rep, who tries to put me through their template of troubleshooting steps. Wiping cache partition worked...for all of ten minutes. If that. HTC wants to take my phone for two weeks, which won't work due to classes.
Full stock M9. I use App Mgr III for new moving apps quickly, App Cache Cleaner because I'm lazy, and Greenify to kill some stuff that I've got, e.g., Ingress, Skype, snapchat. Greenify does NOT allow killing of bloatware/pre-installed crap, so let me tape the mouths of those twits shut now. Most pre-installed apps, including all but two of the Verizon things, are disabled.
The game I notice the most trouble on is Walking War Robots, can't tell if it has to do with graphics or the processor itself. Chrome browser is quite laggy; Drive is almost unresponsive as is Docs; have lost quite a bit of data from Microsoft Word, both saved and documents being worked on. Reception is also quite a bit worse with the Marshmallow update, calls being dropped more frequently and location often having trouble pinpointing me on high-accuracy.
As I do NOT have a computer, reseting the device is not an option. The recaptcha thingy took almost 30 seconds to load; on Lollipop, they took less than five.
I fully agree with you. My experience with marshmallow has only been negative so far.
1) Incredibly Laggy. Back in the day, installing a kitkat or lollipop rom, the phone would be super fluid and would only slightly lag when installing the 50 apps. God forbid when I was installing marshmallow it seriously hung like 5 seconds and was going at maximum 10fps.
2) Heat. The phone appears to get even warmer now. How is that even possible?
3) Battery Life. My battery appears to be 10% worse. I used to only charge it at night but now I have to charge it after work around 8pm.
I do have some hope though. I'm waiting for Neo or Santod to compile a debloated rom and hoping that clears up these issues.
I was experiencing terrible lag, it seems to be settling down now. I was overheating, but that seems to have settled as well. Biggest problem is that I'm only charging at 550mA with a 2A quick charger. That's new, and totally unacceptable. Also, HTC emojis are gone. All I have are the stupid jellybean/potato looking guys and I can't decipher which emotion they are trying to relay. Chics dig emojis, and here I am feeling emoji blind.
Edit: Lag is still terrible
In the same boat.. this update is not good. This phone is so laggy and slow now it's like my OG Droid 1 from years ago. Cleared cache after installing.. waited the obligatory 45 minutes to rebuild stuff. Uninstalled the bloatware I could and it literally took minutes to do a simple uninstall. Hasn't got any better in the last day at all. If it doesn't get better in the next day or two I'll have to go back to Lollipop. This is probably the most buggy, laggy, battery killing Android update I've seen on any of my Android phones since Droid 1 days. Anyone else getting this or know of any kind of fix? I just can't imagine HTC and VZW pushed this out if problems like these are a common occurrence.
I FIGURED IT OUT GUYS?!!
So ViperROM just put out version 4.3.0.
I always thought ViperROM was some weird bloated ROM with weird features so i never gave it a go, but its basically a slimmed down HTC SENSE with a small amount of tweaks. My phone is BUTTERY smooth now. =)
Yeah, I've thought about pulling the trigger w/ Venom rom but I wanted to stay just stock rooted on my M9. If you install viper rom do you have to factory reset? I just despise doing that so much and don't want to if I don't have to. If it doesn't get better in the next day or two, I'll probably give viper a go with a full wipe.
On a side note, is this a fairly common issue with this update and the M9?? Some are saying in the other thread theirs is nice and smooth.
I was having many heat/lag issues as described above when I flashed the zip dirty or clean. I had to do a RUU with the MM update. Now it's super smooth. Still get lots of heat when the system is booting up for the first time/settling in. But after that, no issues.
how is everyone's battery with this? Mine is absolutely horrible! Just this morning sitting here.. 3 hours, down to 78% already and haven't even done anything very intensive with it. Few messages on Whatsapp, texts, a picture. This phone sucks right now. Yesterday only lasted about 10 hours with normal use. Before I would get at least a normal day out of it without worrying. What the hell is going on with MM that is sucking the life out of this phone?

Yea you will have to root. The thing is, Venom is literally a STOCK rooted M9 that has all bloat cut away and 1 small app for additional features (like changing status bar and power button for flashlight.). It is well worth it.

Try Venom Rom. I had so many issues with Verizon MM that I gave up on it.

I've also had better luck with Venom. I just flashed it about 8 hours ago but the lag is gone (so far). Charging on a quick charger still sucks. Haven't been able to gauge battery life yet. No overheating.
Update: My battery is discharging at -1650mA.

Keep checking. It shouldn't be discharging that much unless your tethering on full brightness

It spikes and dips. On average it drains around around 600-800mA. No tethering, 50% brightness. Never had this issue til M. Crazy.

I can barely get my phone to charge. I'm going back to L. If I nand back, do I need to flash 5.1 firmware or isn't hate covered in the nand?

This.
Guys, I finally did do the factory reset despite how much I hate having to do that. From both inside android, and from within TWRP just to be sure. It made the world of difference. I know having to re-install and set up all your apps is a huge pain the ass, but it seriously made a huge difference. Mine lasted 1 day, 13 hours with my typical usage and was still at like 9-10% I think when I re-charged it. Everything is back to working really smooth, no lag, and no heating issues. Something left over from before doesn't play nice at all with the new ROM. Hope this might help if you guys decide to stay on stock.

Mmmm, but my original post was about the M9. Not the M8. They're similar, but the M8 has a superior processor. Imo it'd be amaz to have my custom (and unfortunately shattered) M8's processors and RAM in my M9. Fix all these issues. But, alas.....

In scale, that prolly equates to about 70% of my normal day, minus gaming. Right now I'm getting through about 30% of my day, minus gaming, before needing a charge. Even with QC, charging takes about 40% longer than it did on Lollipop.
Still neither factory reset nor rooting is an option, as I have nothing to back my stuff up on. No, the local library isn't kind enough to me for that lol.
