You kinda need to define your idea of heavy usage first. If you expect to play 6 hours of games on it, I don't think any phone can do that unless you use an extended battery. My Note 3 easily lasts a day of heavy usage but I don't play games on it except for crosswords.

30 hours without charging for me (IP6+)

Technically the iPhone 6+ could. I have both the 6+ and Note 4 and since it is the same person (me) with the same usage, the 6+ lasted 2x longer than the Note 4.

I don't play games on my phone, but typically the 6+ allows me to surf the net and FB/Twittering for 10hrs average on 4G/4G+ and 50% screen brightness, while the Note 4 is about 4hr-4.5hrs (same 4G/4G+ and 50% screen brightness).

My note 4 battery life sux too. Notice the cpu ram usage is always very high - always 80-90% range. I've checked and there are no active applications. Updated the latest software but still the same...

Any experts here got any advice for me to bring down the rate?

I agreed with you... the only advantage is fast charging lol...

I recommend that you watch youtube.. and also i think you must disable unnecessary usage such as ect smart stay or whatsoever (too many smart app) LOL

Does the 6+ really have Cat 6 LTE (4g+)?

Also, my Note 3 already can do 5 hours of screen on time with web surfing and goes up to 30 plus hours between charges. My record time between charges is well over 4 days. It actually lasts quite a bit longer when watching YouTube videos. The Note 4 should get better battery life, but you might need to tweak it a bit first, like disabling some things. Unfortunately I don't have a Note 4 to examine, but I did read about the latest update which is supposed to substantially improve the Note 4's battery life. Reviews also seem to peg the Note 4's surfing battery life at between 10 to 11 hours. Makes me wanna buy a Note 4 just to test it out. :/

Another thing to wait for is the Android L update which carries quite a lot of battery optimizations. Early tests on Nexus 5s show a 25% and above improvement just by updates to Android L alone.

Definitely not normal. But it would be good if you could post screenshots of your screen on time and battery discharge profile. Quite hard to advise without a better picture.

Mine is ok. Used for 16 hours yesterday. Mostly surfing web and fb. Screen on about 50% of the time. About 30-40min of youtube and 1.5hr playing gta. End of the day still have more than 40% left.

Wow... your batt seems good!!

So far no Note device can beat Note 2's SOT, when given the correct conditions.

I'm not impressed with my battery life either. Not very different from my Note 3's usage, and I haven't bothered to troubleshoot.

One thing I noticed, however, is the rather warm screen after I turn it on for a few seconds to check my messages and turn it off again. I usually place my phone in my front pocket when I drive, with the screen against my body instead of facing outwards. The screen is distinctly warm, to almost hot, for a few minutes before cooling off. I'm not sure if this is due to the glass protector I have on, or what. My Note 3 was in an S-View cover previously, so that may have prevented me from feeling the heat then. This is not a major problem, but I would like to know if anyone else is suffering from fried nipples like myself.

Does the 6+ really have Cat 6 LTE (4g+)?

No. Iphone 6+ and iphone 6 are Cat 4 LTE(150 mbps).
The only 4G+ phones that I know of are the Galaxy S5 4G+, Galaxy Alpha 4G+, Galaxy Note 4 4G+ and LG G3 Cat 6. They are all really fast when 4G+ is available.

 

[jianrong]

Me 14 hours of standby. In between use about 5 hours of surf net, email, fb... abit games and messaging... now left 56%.

 

[Leonard_Ong]

My battery is at around 12 hours usage+standby with 1/3 (33%) left.. As others have said, battery is similar to Note 3, if not slightly worse. Warm when camera is being used longer than a few minutes.

A bit unbelievable leh. IPhone usage time doesn't mean screen on time. Mine left with 38% after unplugging in the morning 8am. Still not bad, but one year old note 3 can do equally well.
