According to experts, it's actually better to top it off. Optimal battery range for longevity of the battery life is apparently 50-80%.2 Questions. Will it mess up the battery if you charge it at 70, 60, or 50% to top it off? Will the battery work better and last longer if you use the phone until it ask to be plugged into the charger?

While it was true that you needed to "condition" older batteries, it's actually better for these lithium ion batteries if you "top off" once in a while when you're around 50% or so, or at LEAST plug in as soon as the phone says you should. They don't lose "charge memory" like the older style batteries did and will last longer if you don't let them die down too far between charges.MY Note4 seems to last forever compared to the replaced Galaxy Nexus! I think I'm a normal user (texts, Phone Calls, Browser. some games, an occasional movie, music) but do not stream music like Pandora etc. I plug it in every second morning when it is between 28% to 54% and it is usually fully charged in about 15 minutes using the provided fast charger. First two recharges I left until it went into auto power saving mode before recharge. On old phones I remember that would reset the battery %.
PS - 4g MUCH improved - so far I LOVE this thing!!
That's insane. Are you sure you're using it right? HahaGonna plug it in in about an hour or 2 when I go to bed.
Not quite what my Note2 used to do but I also have been moving more data than normal adding apps and setting them up.
Starting way back on the Omnia1 I learned black is good for battery life on amoled. Very dark wallpaper, dark mode on every app possible, etc makes a huge difference in screen battery usage, thus overall battery life . Even with all black stuff I went from using 4 batteries a day on that to only 2 once I found out how amoled works. That phone made a very nice hand warmer during winterThat's insane. Are you sure you're using it right? Haha

With my Note2 we went to a campground where I had excellent reception 1 weekend. I unplugged on Friday morning about 6 am, didn't plug back in until Sunday night after 10pm with 17% left. That was amazing to me since I was so used to the battery life in craptacular recetionville. I live in a literal geographic hole so my battery life on any carrier will not be the best due to it. Even AT&T with a cell under a mile from my house is weaker than once I get off of my street.Nice results Mark..

Auto . I regularly got closer to 8 hours on the Note 26 hours screen on time is great with that screen resolution. What brightness setting do you keep it on?
