Hi, im stay at malaysia, recently sammobile confirmed that the latest 4.1.2 firmware update having more faster battery drain than previous (4.1.1).
But im really wonder why i got opposite feedback from 2 malaysia user regarding the lastest 4.1.2 ugrade.
Both of my friends just a normal smartphone user. They dont know about rooting and custom rom. They completely using everthing stock as provided by samsung.
They both told me and showed me that their on screen time able to last 7 hours ++ with 3g data fulltime on. Whole circle of battery usage able to last longer about 26 hours.
But for your information they both not the type of heavy gamer. They both just will keep browsing, facebook and social chatting.
From their feedback, the lastest ugrade having better battery performance than 4.1.2.
Im not asking a question here, but just for sharing. Since myself never officially ugrade thru kies or ota.
Im wonder samsung has did some minor tweak on malaysia latest 4.1.2 firmware.
Maybe some of the n7100 developer might gonna use that build as a based to build custom rom.
Thank you.

I'm running a custom ROM based on XXDLL7 on my SGH-I317M (Canadian Note II) and the battery life is just as good, if not slightly better than it was before. I did a full wipe after flashing, so perhaps old data from 4.1.1 is what is causing some people to have issues.

You are right, im always suggest my friend perform factory reset after ugraded from ota or kies.
But this case a bit different. They never perform factory reset after ugraded. But still having experienced that battery performance much more better than 4.1.1.

Battery life is always a hit and miss for everyone... no one has same settings usage apps roms kernels etc etc.... some have epic battery life others very poor ..

This is True, most People getting 10hrs screen time with 3days on are not using 3g data and no sync and so on, everything is depending on how you use your Phone even when you don't use it.

My battery life went down after the update, all else being equal. Would a factory reset really help? I'd have to do one anyways to revert I guess.

Hmm...about the factory reset after ugraded, i think this is very subjective. Since samsung never advice their user need to perform this.
But for myself, i will perform and download again all the previous app to make sure everything running properly without any fc.

But i never experienced ota or kies ugrade.
But in other way, 99% me will perform full wipe everytime install new custom rom.

I totally agree with you. I f you are not using the functions of 'SMARTPHONE' what is the use of your phone? Is it just to show how much battery you conserved? Can anybody show 6 Hrs. of internet and 8 hours of videos in this so called battery life of 3 'days'?
I just cannot understand why people are running so much after battery life?
If you use you lose that is the law!
It can be understandable if without using anything one is losing the battery then it certainly is an issue.
IMHO those who conserve battery do not enjoy their phones at all!!!
That's true, that's why the new fw is such a pain in the ass with its poor battery!

Thanks for all posted comment. All solid opinion and experienced.
Actually im just wanna to sharing that, it was proof that ( from samobile.com) the latest 4.1.2 having poor battery performance if compare to 4.1.1. But in another way, my both friends also proof to me that they having significant improvement of battery performance from the latest 4.1.2 malaysia firmware. ( im personally checked their battery status and they are not lie to me).
We should put aside the battery performance for certain rom, kernel, personal setting and personal usage.
Since they having the same setting and same installed app as previous after ugraded to 4.1.2. And they also using the phone like usual or before upgraded.
So from my point of view, im just wanna find out isnt it the latest 4.1.2 malaysia firmware might having some different tweak from samsung than other 4.1.2 build such as LL7?

This is kinda a good news though.
For this time I can't upgrade my SGN2 firmware either via Kies or OTA.
I don't know what's wrong but I figure out something later.
I'm using my SGN2 on Stock Rom and for me SGN2 Stock Rom (4.1.1) is quite good.
Usage :
Full Charge - 0830
Mobile Data On - 1000
Activity - 1100 ~ 2200 - Viewing Facebook, texting a bit in Whatsapp, web browsing
On call - 2200 ~ 0000
Phone Standby - 0000 ~ 0730
And I still have another 6% of battery.
Can't wait to update the firmware.
:good:

Exactly. Everything is an anecdote unless the battery life was tested via an app like Battery Monitor Widget before and after the update for at least several days to register the consumption per hour in both standby and regular use.
Anything else, especially screen time, is purely subjective.
anyone facing after upgrade, phone will auto restart or shut down by itself?
I don't have any battery issue with DLL7. Battery consumption was the same even with DMA5. Even now with DMA6 consumption still the same.

Battery consumption is not my main concern. Most important for me is that I use and abused my note2 to my heart's content and enjoy using it. I'm happy that my battery can last for a day. I charge my N2 when I'm in the car, office and at home. This has been going on since I bought it last October'12. I have not notice any difference at all in battery consumption in all updates right from the stock 4.1.1 rom that came with it.

Hello all! I just wonder if you guys have the same problem that I do, after about 4 minutes of chilling in menus or doing something that wouldn't use CPU much causes heating at the top and top-back of the device and by that time battery just drains.
My device is i9500. I flashed Wanam's kernel (Adam V1) yesterday night to see if anything would change, but nothing has changed so far.
All of the gestures and stuff are off and the screen brightness is set to automatic.
I just wonder if you guys have the same issues.

I9500
I do have the same heating problem while using less cpu intensive tasks and battery is draining fast even if its in standby mode(i mean when still screen is off).
Same.
Huge battery drain issue and serious overheating on the i9500
I'm just sitting and waiting some updates, patches and fixes like everyone else. Missing my Note2 :crying:

try running betterbattery stats and see what is hogging your battery juice
hope it will show the cause of the fast draining
No issue here. I've been using the AT&T version of the S4 for the last few days. Playing games & web browsing for extended amounts of time. I haven't felt any heating on the device thus far.
iv got serious issues as well...
apps like nova launcher using so much??
apps usage greater than screen usage..

Well guys, I have charged it full and then after 15 minutes I have used BatteryCallibration app to wipe battery stats (It needs root), drain is not changed but the heat problem seems better. I will use it for 1 or 2 more cycles then post the situation.
And I will try to flash another modem.
Ext. SD is unplugged btw.

Another 4.1.2 update by the looks of things over on sammobile?
Probably not worth the excitement.
just app updates, nothing important,
it came out 2 months ago in some countries
Yeh,
Sucks!
My wife's tab 2 got 4.2 ages ago and this is still stuck getting minor updates which were out months ago in Germany.
Pretty poor support fir what was supposed to be a flagship...

4.2 is just full of bugs... better not get it, instead of crying after. !..
Is there any changelog? I received the update but I didnt install it yet because I didnt know if it was going to implement knox.

230 MB OTA and all it had in it was a few sub options under the Display settings :-/ I was expecting 4.2.2.. Very disappointing.. If this is how Samsung is gonna treat their old customers, I'm switching to Nexus..
I updated yesterday, and I noticed severe slowdowns when using lecture notes. What happens is that sometimes when I am writing, it stops tracing for some moments, and then it traces the rest. It happens often and is quite annoying.
Does someone else have the same problem?

Battery was horrible for me on this update even afteracouple of days and resetting battery history.. would last less than a day.. back on c3 firmware battery lasts a week with light use.

Pretty disappointed this is such a minor update. I tethered to my phone earlier so I could make an order from my tablet. Noticed some time later it had downloaded this update without warning and chewed through a good chunk of my data!
Sad to hear the battery life isn't improved.
Hey guys, I just bought my U.S. Galaxy Note 2014 Wifi version for $550 (no tax on military base), which is quite expensive to me, but so far I really like the tablet. I just think it's got quite a premium price to it.
So last night I watched a 25 minute Youtube video with the screen brightness all the way down, and from what I could tell, no other apps running.
My battery life went down 15%-20%. Does that sound about right?
I want to root my device but I've never rooted anything so I figured I'd post this question up while I read about it.
Has rooting your Galaxy Note 2014 helped its battery life and the overall performance?
I've rooted mine and yes the battery life and performance has improved. You can uni stall bloat ware like my magazine which is constantly tag cpu. Also you get apps that when rooted you can select all or any app you want to for multi screen and pen window which is awesoms

That sounds great. Is the S-Pen functionality any different?
No different at all. If you keep touchwiz if will all look the same just you will have access to anything. I uni stalled all the samsung stuff that are useless. E.g chat on, samsung hub etc froze push notification and my magazine. Working great . Still leggy here and but more updates will come im sure. But faster. My battery is on 19 percent and it's been off charge since about 11 the afternoon. But Ive practically all day been watching programmes , playing games and surfing the Web . With lowish screen brightness

Odd, the DAY I picked mine up, without doing any of the launch-day updates, I still managed a less than 25% use from watching a feature-length HD movie (Pacific Rim, picked up on Samsung Hub with the credits. THAT was a pain in the ass). I wasn't even watching it at minimum brightness, probably more inbetween 20 and 40 percent.
Full use of series games and browsing all day I got 13 hours. Which is very good for heavy use
Sent from my SM-P600 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Alright I'll give it a full charge as see how long it lasts with a full HD movie.
Must reduce google services like google now. It will make battey drain fast,
Root and remove bloat ware and you will see smooth and longer battery. samsung very stupid when install too many bloatware.
hi,can i ask which are the bloatware that i can remove?thx
I uni stalled. Chat on, samsung hub, samsung apps, etc. I froze samsung push notifications service and my magazine, , add a huge difference. If u don't use it freeze or delete, just be careful not to delete Nothing important. Other than touchwiz all the samsung stuff pretty much is bloat ware

And in this way does the battery live so longer? Thx
Mines majorly improved. I get about 14 hours of heavy use with the brightness on about 20 percent.

Hi,
A couple of days ago I updated my S5 to G900FXXU1ANE2 with Kies 3 from my PC.
I've noticed worse battery life, but I guess its too early to judge so I'll give it a week or so and a few more cycles.
However, I have noticed that during ALL games the battery gets ridiculously hot. I've never had this on any previous firmware updates. If its related to the flash/firmware then I am tempted to go back as it never used to get hot and battery life was a couple of days.
I know there will be some stock answers advising me to do a factory reset, but I'd really rather not.
Cheers,
GG
Same here..my screen gets very hot since update

I had strange battery life, too.
"Multimedia" drained my battery and phone became hot!
It seems that there is a scan of every media on SD after update..
Today I have another problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2737673
EDIT: Multimedia started again draining my battery.. I can't believe it..!!!
Noticed my battery life isn't as good after the update either. Not noticed any difference heat wise though.

Kill the bluetooth test process, it causes a damned large amount of wakelocks.... that helped a lot for me.
Also NFC despite being turned off, it was causing some wakelocks for me.

Change to the All tab in the Application Manager and scroll, it should be below bluetooth share and it will have Force Stop enabled.
Got it. The only thing is that it will restart after every reboot because you can't disable it. I switch my phone off at night. Will force stop and see if it improves my battery life though.

Heres to hoping that Samsung release another update to resolve this.
Its a shame coz on the previous firmware the battery life was awesome.
