Battery life on Samsung Note 4?

[Billyb160]

I have had my note 4 for about a year and a half. The battery life is now terrible. I can maybe get 8 hours out of the phone. That is with the location turned off wifi turned off and the Bluetooth turned off. I had talked to a couple other people at work with Note 4 phones. They are having the same issue. Anybody else having this problem?

YYou are going to have that problem. Batteries have a limited warranty and when charged over and over will die over time. Buy a new battery.

If you just upgraded the OS to Marshmallow it could be the problem.  There are plenty of people experiencing battery drain after the upgrade...I'm one of them.  It's also messed with my wireless signal.

I have a note 5. I have experienced this from the beginning. They replaced it one time already. I have to charge it midday.

I did see that I am running on the marshmallow version now. That would make sense. I have noticed a difference since I downloaded it in June.

I can't answer for Billy, but for myself there has been no change in my usage pattern that would cause such rapid battery drain.  It started occurring immediately after I upgraded to Marshmallow.  Since searching for a wireless signal can cause battery drain that could be part of the issue because once I upgrade to Marshmallow my phone suddenly had issues picking up the wireless signal in my house.  Again, no changes to the location of the router in my home or other environmental changes, but immediately after the Marshmallow upgrade the issues began...

Getting the most out of your battery is definitely important so I understand your concern AMBHAR42. How long is the battery life? Have you visited http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-175016/ for tips on extending battery life?
