Any fellow Note 4 owners got the Marshmallow update yet?
Mine has become unbearable on Lollipop now so I either wait for Marshmallow or blast it back to KitKat.

Does it still get OTA updates pop up after you have reverted back or does the process of rooting etc mark the system as tampered with and you lose the ability to receive further updates? I had that problem with the S3 even with clearing the flag the rooting and messing with bootloaders/roms meant it could no longer receive OTA updates.

I was getting up to 4 days on my Note 4 with Kitkat when it was a brand new battery where as now lollipop has started making it overheat and drain the battery in about 10 hours with very light use. Might have to put my faith in Helium backup copy it off the phone once backed up then do a factory reset and restore to see if that helps.

4 days! wish i could get that on any device with a large screen to be honest. What were you doing or not doing on it, letting it idle for 2 days?
On the s5 with lollipoop i used to get, at best, 3-4hrs SOT and 2 days uptime (if lucky). On the s7e i get similar uptime, but 6-7hrs SOT, heavy usage for me.

Lol yep the 4 days was very light usage but it was a full 4 days which I was really impressed with, it did 3 days with moderate use. Kitkat definitely suited the Note 4. Lollipop clearly doesn't, best I had out of lollipop was 2 days and has just gone down hill since then.

I used to have the Note 4, i'd say i'm getting better battery life from my Note 5 running Marshmallow. The Note 5 battery is actually slightly smaller in capacity than the Note 4's, Marshmallow is probably contributing to better battery performance. I get a full day from the battery which i'd say is medium usage, general things like youtube, using maps for navigation, emails, web browsing, using various apps etc etc
I can drag that out to 2 days from the battery if i just do things like emails, web browsing and using the odd app etc. Marshmallow seems good, i didn't like the bigger icons at first, now i like them.

You could always use 'Nova launcher' to alter layout and size of icons

I'm stubborn and like to sit there waiting for it OTA It is s0dding typical though I waited all this time and yesterday spent hours backing my phone up, wiping it and restoring it for the update to then come out today

OK cheers, mine still isn't seeing the update yet. However since factory resetting mine it's running cool and battery life much improved was at 70% mid afternoon when it had been running out by then. Still tempted to go back to Kitkat for the mamoth battery life.
