Can anyone test this for me?

This is very annoying. Does anyone have this problem? Does not happen on my gen 1 pixel XL.

I have two pixel 2 XLs one would connect to my Bose SoundLink mini for a few seconds and disconnect repeatedly. The other one, is perfect and have no issues.

This picture was just to show that the panels had different color temp and brightness. Blue hue is similar. Burn in needs to. Be shown in grey screen. I did not take pictures of it but I swear to god the store display didn't have burn in. I wonder if it's because the store display plays a full...

Verizon store display on the left. Mine on the right. Both same settings. Mine is much warmer and shows burn in. The store display has no burn in despite being used for way more hours than my phone...

Went to the Verizon store to compare my pixel XL 2 with the display model. Surprisingly, the display model was brighter and more vibrant than the one I have. I made sure that both phones that the vivid colors option enabled but it was quite obvious. The store phone wasn't only more vivid but...

can anyone test if video calling works on google hangouts? The person on the opposite side cannot see what my front or rear camera is displaying.

imagine this scenario, two phones one N910c and one N910F both fresh off the charger and being used for.1 hour straight no standby. Both would have the same wakelock I would presume? However the n910c tends to show a higher WiFi %. Can you please point out what I'm not getting here? Also why...

The OS firmware. download phone info Samsung app and you will be able to see it.

Any updates?

The App seems to work fine(show minimum wifi usage) on all other devices I have installed them on. Galaxy Tab S 8.4, S5 LTE-A, Nexus 6, Note 4 Snapdragon.

Is that with WiFi?

Damn it. Hope just went up in smokes.

Those of you who installed lollipop for the n910c mind posting on the thread below and confirm if the horrible WiFi battery drain bug has been fixed? http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/explanation-horrible-note-4-battery-t3004274

That's not a real fix as you said. I realized amount of data used is proportional to the WiFi drain, so if you download something, the WiFi drain is really high. And if you let it idle, its not as bad. sounds stupid but what I'm trying to say is we are using more energy per MB of data. The...

anyone tried the lollipop update?

Update: its better with touchwiz compared to the Google launcher but still significant. Edit: scratch that. Its as bad. Update 2: Completely reset the phone and installed nothing but gsam app, no improvement. It seems like the battery drains if there is wifi data being transmitted, such as...

I think I got it figured out. those of you who experience the horrible WiFi drain must be using the Google now launcher. This seems to be the cause, I need to observe the phone for a longer period of time. Anyone have any theories as to why Google now launcher causes this on the n910c note...

I'm completely stock and no root too. 2.4 ghz b g n WiFi as well. I'm hoping its the firmware but from the screenshots ljubimci posted, I'm running the same ROM. Malaysian ROM and phone.

Is your wireless on 5GHz? Are you on 802.11 a b g n or ac? Thanks in advance...

Damn, my phone is completely identical To yours other than the WiFi drain

May I ask which country's ROM you are running?

May I ask if the WiFi is connected ? Also, which firmware do you have and what country is the phone from? Thanks

Tried that previously didn't work. My WiFi is not disconnecting either. At least it doesn't say so on my device.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/explanation-horrible-note-4-battery-t3004274 This is why the battery on the n910c sucks. The WiFi not the cellular radio.

You have this problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/explanation-horrible-note-4-battery-t3004274

I have three OEM batteries. same issue regardless of which battery I use.

did the new phone have the same problems? Can you test it?

The device isn't rooted and this is the only device connected to the WiFi network. I turned off the rest to test.

I tried multiple routers with the same result... When not connected, I noticed the WiFi doesn't drain much battery when on.

The Snapdragon is unaffected by this bug

That's pretty saddening... now do all note 4s use the same WiFi chip? the exynos versions might use the Broadcom bcm4358 according to my research. The Qualcomm Snapdragon s805 seems to have its own integrated WiFi solution but I don't know if they used the Broadcom instead.

well I'm just trying to see the WiFi usage relative to screen usage. It should be no more than 5% of battery usage for WiFi regardless of what you do.

A serious WiFi bug that takes up to 50% of battery life consumed in the n910c model. Please read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/explanation-horrible-note-4-battery-t3004274

Any n910c owners willing to install GSAM app and provide more data points on this WiFi issue? Thanks

That is true. But in this scenario the WiFi destroys the battery life.

I don't think it would change your battery life at all and you can always uninstall it but it is your choice to make. Thanks for providing input though.

Do you mind installing the gsam battery monitor and posting the WiFi usage? Thanks

Can anyone with the n910c try other firmwares and report back if the n910c still experiences the same problems? So far two users with the Malaysian firmare experience this wifI battery drain issue. I'm not sure if the others are on the same fw.

And do you have the n910f or n910c?

Thanks for the datapoint ausboy. Seems like n910c is the only variant affected. Samsung should take note, this is why the battery life on the n910u is much better even though both are exynos. I'm on 4g now and the battery life on 4g is way better than with wifI on. I've tried different...

Is the WiFi battery consumption issue fixed?

Just got confirmation from another n910c owner that the WiFi can account for up to 53% 53% of the battery consumption when turned on. From what I see on the battery thread, the n910f even when connected over WiFi for 40 hours only takes less than 3%. If we figure this out we will definitely be...

Refer to this thread. I believe this is one of the reasons. http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/explanation-horrible-note-4-battery-t3004274 I have had confirmationon from another n910c owner that the WiFi can take up to 53% of the phones battery consumed. Based on my observation...

Damn, is that the Snapdragon?

Is that an n910c?

Did u look at the WiFi power consumption in gsam?

I have noticed that the WiFi on my note 4 drains 30% of the phones battery on average and this exceeds the battery drain of the screen even with an SOT of 4 hours. this is easily overlooked because the stock battery monitor does not show how much battery WiFi consumes. It only shows if its on...

I turned it off a long time ago. I noticed that even when the WiFi is connected it shows scanning every few seconds...

How are u getting such low battery usage with WiFi? Mine consumes almost 30%!
