Note 4 Battery Life

[zXioNGz]

23 hours standby.
4 hours + screen on time.
3 hours Firefox surfing.

Battery 5%.

Wah also not bad but it's inferior to Note 3 when I first got it.

I read online that charge your phone when battery level is 20-40% and plug it out when it's 80-90% to prolong battery life. Do anyone do that here?

Don't need to do that. Just charge whenever you need, don't wait until 0% then start charging. No matter what you do, the battery has its own life span and you can't really do much to improve it due to the chemistry inside.

If you have apps that serve up ads, there's a potential that they cause battery drain in the background that shows up as a Google services wakelock. One example is the new 9gag app. Ever since it implemented ads in a completely moronic way (constant refreshing in the background), it tanked my Note 3's battery life. Uninstalling it returned my phone to the usual 5hr SoT performance.

Yep, just charge until full, it doesn't matter.

I always charge between low battery to 30+ %. I charge it daily. But never empty until 0% to charge. Only try once when 1% Then off the phone to recalibrate.

The rest charge it while on.

Just to check, do you guys first charge then battery for 8hrs? or just when it charge fully and take out liao?

What I do is I plug into wall socket in office. At night when I'm relaxing in bed on the phone I also plug it in. I find it stays at 100% almost all the time. I read when at 100% the phone operates directly from the power source don't know how true. If true that would significantly extend the battery lifE, no?

Don't read too much it can be harmful

Never, if you can, to use your phone while charging, it's very bad for battery as it's draining while charging, all the power will go through battery then the CPU, so no direct draw, similar to Laptop theory.

If you wanna confirm on this, take out your battery and plug in and see if you can power on the phone haha

The thing that kills the battery is heat. Whenever you charge your phone, heat is produced. So the more heat you introduced to your battery, the lesser the lifespan. That's why people recommend that you do not use your phone while it's charging, and not to leave your phone on the charger, or charge too frequently.

whenever the phone is in use, heat is also generated wor.

correct me if I am wrong. So we should charge our phones in fridge for battery longevity?

Yup. That's why your phone battery will continue to deteriorate over time.

Nope, it doesn't matter if you charge in your fridge. When there is reactions happening in your battery, heat will be produce, the fridge doesn't stop that reaction. It's all chemistry bs from here on, I don't know how to explain.

Simply put. Heat is the root of all evil in electronics, yet we cannot live without it.
