guys moving over from a huawei mate 7 i had it for two years and till date a full charge would last me at least from 7am to 2-4am. but my note with similar usage(mainly whatsapp,fb,insta,always on display clock ) my bat hits a 15% at 2pm from 7.30am.. is this expected or something is up with my battery?

QUOTE(shockk @ Aug 22 2016, 08:40 PM) Oh my God... this is bad. So when you got it, it was fine for the first few days with no issues? Did you encounter any freeze or crash on the first few days? If like this, then perhaps all Note 7 units are not safe from the hang / crash / bootloop issue.  Not sure bout the first few days as i dont set any lock or pin. Even if it restarts i wouldnt notice. During the weekends wanna know more bout the phone, thats when i notice restarts, then on sunday evening sudden loop when i noticed the phone getting hot.

QUOTE(teckyang97 @ Aug 22 2016, 08:44 PM) Peace out bro, everyone has their own beliefs and preference. These type of stuff can only be determine by experience as there's no scientific prove currently  Maybe different ppl different phone different experience. My S3 overnight charge till battery only can stay 3 hours. S5 seldom overnight and it manage a day. Both phone based on 2 years usage. This post has been edited by JonnY: Aug 22 2016, 09:24 PM

Why after wake up from idle cant use fingerprint but Pin?? I never reboot my phone. If after reboot first attempt using Pin is normal. How to prevent this? Not so convenient

So...after reading so many comments from this thread and also other forums.. most ppl had gave the same answer, if you are serious in taking care of your battery life, don't charge it on fast charge mode that often. Leaving the phone charging overnight is fine as long as not on fast charge mode. Don't stress charge the battery too often (e.g: 100% > 5% > 100%) In summary, fast charge is like an emergency tool  I bet for now, most ppl will use normal mode first...but after a few months...

After turned off the fast charging option, i feel that the charging is still very fast. Almost same as fast charging.
I'm not sure if the fast charging option works.

QUOTE(shockk @ Aug 22 2016, 08:19 PM) Anyone who used overnight fast charging on the same phone for few years can confirm that battery life span affected? I've been charging my nexus 6 every night for 2 years. Everything is still fine even with wireless charging. Wife just bought gn7 and she asked the same thing as we'll. I suppose it is fine? Unless the charging adapter or the chip is spoiled?

I ask this before, seems like no app can turn off the screen and can turn on back again with biometrics besides using assesiblity settings ... or the sview cover ...
