I use the scanner to open master accounts only. For example, I use Lastpass to login into every application or website and I use the fingerprint scanner to log into LastPass. This greatly helps me with dual security over my credentials and ease of access.

About the people in this thread complaining about Phablet battery timings; I know the iPhone handles application lifetime and battery so much batter by default. But Android gives you the power of Unlocked Boot-loaders and Root. Some help with kernel level tweaks and power saving apps and you're good to go. See below my Note 4's battery timings (I use it fairly well with WiFi and 3G all the time including S-pen usage and medium brightness).

Wait, so a good screen on time is usually around 5 hours. You're getting around 40 hours?

It's not bad but compared to TouchID it really is quite useless.

Which kernel and power saving apps are you using?
And do you have n910c version?

Its not accurate like while driving you have to try it several times. Rest it's great as a security feature.

Yes, I have the Exynos 910C version. I use the Adam kernel and Greenify. I use the Ultra power saving mode at night, which is perhaps one of the things Samsung got right.

So I've been using an iPhone 6 for the past few days. My usage across the Note 4 and iPhone 6 is identical.

The maximum possible screen on time I got with the Note 4 was 4 hours before it dropped below 10% battery. I had to charge the phone by maximum 24-26 hours. On around 7-8 hours of idle during night, the battery drained from 100% to 88-89%. This is after turning off a shit load of Samsung crap.

With the iPhone 6, I'm getting 8 hours of screen on time with around 30% battery remaining. When I go to sleep at night with 100% battery, I wake up with 99-100% battery after 6-7 hours.

Oh boy that overnight sleep sure is taking a hit on your battery. There is something running in the background even in idle mode. I have the snapdragon version and my overnight battery consumption is just 2%..yes only 2 %.. And I get easily 6 hours SOT even though this is just my third battery charge cycle..

I'm a bit of an extremist in this regard so my setup might not suit everyone but it's not that hard to set it all up. For example, I use Tasker to enable flight mode, turn Location services on and off etc. (See here) That might be too much for some people.

But, mostly, I use a custom kernel, which is Adam in my case. I am using Wanam custom rom and Greenify. I "hibernate" all applications that I know, I won't be using often. The good thing about Greenify's hibernation method is that you're not essentially "disabling" the application. It will wake up an application if a notification for it arrives or is scheduled. It will automatically hibernate it again, once a specific interval has passed or the application is inactive.

All of this is detailed on XDA. You can find Greenify, Wanam ROM and Adam Kernel (there are other kernels as well) on XDA's Note 4 (Exynos) section. You will need an unlocked bootloader (which I think is already the case for Note 4), and root for this to work. Remember, that any kind of flashing in bootloader mode will tick your KNOX counter, which voids your warranty. You may attempt these things if you know what you're doing.

8 hours on the iP6? Damn that's impressive! I can manage 4 hours 10-20 minute onscreen time with my vivo Xshot, and that's with 2600 mAh battery and my phone's idle timing is superb, you sleep with 100% and wake up with 98% at least and that's with WiFi on all night. What you're experiencing is typical TouchWiz problem unfortunately. :(

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
