How long does you battery last nowadays?

Hello!
I'd like to know how long does your Note 4 battery last as well as which firmware are you running on.

I'm on android 6.0.1 and getting exactly 3 hours screen on time with brightness set to minimal auto. Also, sync disabled for every application and in smart manager it's set to save power.

I used to get about 5-6 hours screen on time the first time I got the phone on android 4.4.4. I just replaced the battery for a brand new one and that didn't seem to make any noticeable difference except it doesn't turn off randomly at 20-30% anymore.

Same here, maybe a bit more, around 3.5 hours SOT on 6.0.1 and similar power saving settings. However, my battery life has been quite consistent for these two years that I've owned my N910C, and to be honest I've gotten used to it :)
 
I find it a bit frustrating when my phone doesn't last me a day. When I got it, it used to last me the whole day no matter what I did on it, now however, it doesn't even last me half what it used to, with a new battery also ;(
 
Both my VZW Note 4's normally get about 4.5 - 5 hours screen on time. One of them is on KK and the other was downgraded from MM to LP 5.1.1. I only use OEM batteries purchased from ... dare I say it... Android Central store. Sometimes they have them on sale for $16.95. I would never buy a battery from ebay... no matter if they claim OEM. I've even had bad batteries coming from Amazon that were supposedly OEM. YMMV.

To me MM eats batteries more than KK or LP. In my mind, there's no doubt about it.
 
The battery life on my Note 4 depends on how it is being used.
If asleep, it will go a few days. for my phone, asleep really means that as it is on 4.4.4 and a macro turns off DATA and WiFi when the screen times out and locks.

If it is being pushed pretty hard, say me using Facebook a lot something like the 4 or 5 hours mentioned above is pretty close.

I carry an Anker 26800 battery pack with me all the time, gives me a lot of freedom to not really care how much battery is being consumed by my surfing.
