Hey dudes, always used gsam on my nexus 5 and it worked great, however since upgrading to the note 5 it just doesn't seem to work at all. Check out these screen shots:













You can see the time since last charge is the same on both the stock battery app and gsam, however this like screen on time aren't even close. Any ideas as to why that could be?
 
So how long was the screen on for?

If it was really 2 hours I don't know why GSam is reporting so low, but in that case the built-in one is also crazy in a different way: it is claiming that the screen was on for 2 hours but only used 7% of the power, which is certainly not true (unless you only have a few pixels lit and the rest of the image is black ;)).

Yeah, it's all weird. The screen on time from the built in app seems to be accurate though, even if the percentage seems weird.
