use a touchwiz rom - problem solved though it doesn't seem all that bad - considering it hasn't fully drained and you've also had a reboot of some sort which has screwed up the battery stats (random line/drop).

In the latest CM nightly, I have been able to get some really impressive results with almost 2 hours of screen-on time, games, wifi, calls, SMS, etc. i have more than 13 hours and I am right now at 75% charge. I found that, since I don't use NFC, simply disabling it, then deleting it (freezing it or just turning it off doesn't work) I was able to squeeze out even more juice.
At this rate, I'm on track for two days on a single charge, which is something I never thought I'd see on CM.

Your signal stinks. Try backing off the 4g lte until you really need the extra data speed. When the phone it idle and kn voice calls you don't need 4g. So keep it on 3g. You will have a better signal and that will greatly improve your battery life.

I'm using PA 3.99 currently and I really love it, I don't think it's the ROM causing bad battery life though.

What's the best network mode to use if I'm not using 4g then?

I seem to have a problem when I select GSM/WCDMA and some of the others network types.

new to android need battery saving advice

hello im new to android coming over from wp8 (nokia 920) which i LOVE to death but ive been through 6 920s since launch for a few different reason. Att allowed me to get the g2 for $50 bucks and i get to keep this 920. ive read alot obout the g2s battery and i just wanted to know what i need to disable besides the usual nfc gps stuff to make my battery last longer. I had the screen on for no more than 10 minutes and my batter dropped from 95 to 87 and all i did was look around in settings and take 2 pics with no flash the screen brightness is set to 60 auto.

You have to allow it to go through about 4 charge cycles to calibrate and then your battery life will be insane.

Don't install anything or do anything. Give it a few days (after the new honeymoon phase) of normal use...you'll get it going the entire day. That drop is fine, don't worry about it.
Sent from my G2

Don't turn on the screen.... Ever... and your battery life will be amazing!
Apps can be your best friend and worst enemy. Make sure that you don't have rogue apps eatting your batter and/or apps that have a lot of sleep wake issues and don't let your phone go into deep sleep. Use battery stats apps and sleep wake apps to track down those unwanted apps

Don't use it?
But seriously. If you plan to not to use that ****ton of features LG included, you can simply root it, install Titanium Backup, and freeze those processes.
Also disabling WiFi hotspots and GPS is said to be the greatest battery saver.

I have CID off, GPS and use 2x battery app.

I assumed it was caller ID, but I can't see how that would save battery life, beside maybe freezing the bloatware app that's on the Verizon version (not sure if it's on the other versions).

phone runs very warm and short battery life?

Sup peeps,
Just picked up the note 3 yesterday.
The battery life has been pretty abysmal compared to my note 2...
1 hr of Web browsing and photo editing ran down 18%... No video or 3d rendering.
Also, the superior posterior aspect of the phone is abnormally warm with just plain use... Again, no video or 3d rendering.
Anyone else experiencing these issues?

Yes. First thing I did a actually. Mostly screen consumption and I am running at lowest screen brightness but not power saving. I never had to worry about these things with the note 2.
Here is my current usage after recharging again... Not as fast of drain but still bad for forum and Web browsing. Blue tooth and gps off but I am using 4g.

I use power saver mode unless I'm doing something cpu intensive but texting, web browsing, forums you don't need the full cpu power

I actually recommend going into dev options and enable cpu monitor. My note 3 was getting terrible battery because of indexing. And only found out why from the mon. removed my sd to fix it.
To enable dev options tap on the build# a few times.

Similar for me. I unplugged mine around 11am this morning and actually didnt use it at all. It sat on the table while I worked around the house. While on wifi it was down to 55% less than 4 hours later. Battery shows exchange services is killing me with over 70% usage. Coming from a note 2 i never had this issue. In fact, my note 2 was amazing with the exact same setup.
Since this is being used for work, I need to use exchange and it needs to be set to push email. Anyone else use exchange and have similar issues?

My battery is really long lasting :/

Screen on is 2 and a half hours but I've heard people say they use this phone way more than I use mine and they still get like 14 hours
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk now Free

Something on the phone is causing the CPU to never go to sleep and looks like it is staying at a somewhat high speed as well. When I get a wakelock and am stuck at the lowest speed my phone will drain 50-60% over an 8 hour period, so you must be stuck somewhere in the 500-600MHz range.

I've had my screen on for a while cause of texting also not really any browsing or anything else

Try this app to find out what it truly using up you battery. I found this app so helpful that I bought the Pro Version.

Download cpu spy from the play store, and let it run for a charge cycle (it's a free, good quality app and super easy to use). The majority of the time the cpu should be in either 300mhz or deep sleep. Honestly with that kind of battery life, your phone or battery could be defective.

Nasty system drain

Anyone else had these system drain issues? This is the first day I have seen a problem with it after having the phone for a week now.

Google Now isnt on. I hadnt turned it on yet. I just went into the settings for the google search app and verified.

It was the first time mine did it... seems to have normalized since.

I've seen elsewhere that people have had issues with Samsung Link eating up battery life. Turning it off appears to solve the issue.

Pretty reasonable. Thank god I pretty much turn off all non necessary Samsung apps because that's just how Samsung rolls lol
Sent from my SM-G900V using xda app-developers app

i had almost the same results on my rooted Sprint GS5 with all the samsung stuff, and bloatwhere turned off

Believe it or not.... the "Memos" app was eating more battery than everything else combined for me before I turned it off.
