Battery question - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Why others get 8h of ScreenOn Time and I only 6 to 7h on a normal use day? My batt now has 5 loading circles.

"Only" 6 - 7 hours is not bad at all, I'd say.

Post your screenshots of your battery logs, and see if we can figure it out. I'm in the same situation and complained just in another thread because I see some people with 28+ hours of usage when I got 14 hours of usage max from mine.

Your battery stats are normal. 16 hours which includes almost 7 hours screen time is nothing to scoff at.
If you want pull a bit more disable eye-tracking features and uninstall Facebook (which is notoriously known as a major battery hog, not sure if they improved the battery drain, but you can Google facebook+app+battery and read the slew of complains about the app), that is of course if you're willing to take such measures just for extra battery life.

Your stats look good (albeit not as good as some of the other threads). 7 hours of screen time is pretty great though and I haven't been able to get that and I don't even use Facebook

Check out my stats. As you can see, it's HORRIBLE compared to what you guys are getting. I've also attached my BBS logs. Help guys, what's wrong? I have a 64gb SD card that I am using, but I have already formatted it using this phone, and then loaded about 10gb worth of videos on it. Could that be the cause of the problem?

You have some serious wakelocks. By the looks of it, I'm almost 100% they are network related wakelocks...
Things you could try:
Go to settings > more settings > Network operators. Change the operator to something else a couple of times (you shouldn't be able to) and then choose automatic it will choose the correct operator again.
You can try switching to GSM only for a while ( Settings > More settings > Mobile networks > Network mode). See if the drain stops while being on GSM only.
If you are rooted, search for "fast dormancy toggle" by gokhanmoral from you Google play store and turn off fast dormancy. There are some situations where if FD is enabled and your carrier does not support it, you will keep getting wakelocks.
Power off the phone. Remove the sim card, power on the phone without the sim for five minutes. Clean the chip on the sim with a dry cloth. Power off the phone, insert the sim and power it on again.

Battery Question
BUMP..
I get about 4 hrs of screen time on a full charge. My usage is browsing and whatsapp mostly. Plus around 35-45 mins of some games. Ill say heavy ones (nfsmw, dark knight etc). my network is usually around the 70-80% mark and almost never full..
Whatsapp is the most used app of course. I spend 2-2.5 hrs doing that i suppose on this.
I dont use wifi and depend on a weak 3g signal for all this.
Is this performance normal??

I get poor battery life because my Note 3 Keep turning on in my pocket that is what I hate the most from switching my Nexus 4

Is anyone else experiencing very bad battery life? I use it for five minutes and it drops 5%... Am I doing some

Welcome to life of the S4. No youre not doimg anything wrong. The best thing I can suggest is using Juice Defender, and a Task Manager. Turning mobile data off when not in use, screen brightness at about halfway. I can squeez about 20 hours out of this phone with moderate use this way.

You're doing something wrong if it drops one percent per minute

You could give the new qualcomm battery app a shot... takes a few days to read your usage then starts adjusting things like app sync times etc to save your battery.
I just started trying it out. Looks promising.

Battery life is like the only good thing about the galaxy s4. I'm so disappointed with the lag and the overall performance of the phone. But battery life lasts me the whole day. I have the At&t galaxy s4.

From my personal experience with it, it keeps waking up my phone when it goes into deep sleep. It wastes more battery by constantly waking it than it saves me.

When you restore your phone, are you restoring all the apps? One bad app is all it takes. you should reset to stock, and not install any apps. Then when you see that it runs ok, install one at a time as you test.
Not sure who has lag issues, but my phone rocks. No lag here and battery life is great.
No lag here, at all... My best for battery is 3 days, with 4 and a half hours screen-time...

Keep in mind there are lots of variables at work.
Wifi vs. Cell data - Turn on Wifi and battery usage goes down a LOT - if you are in a wifi area all the time. Cellular data is a battery pig.
Weak signal area - another battery pig - i have had phones drain in 8 hours doing nothing if i had poor reception
Usage mix - Your 2.5 hours of screen time, could be good if you have screen at high brightness and are streaming cellular data (movie) and if you are also syncing email, facebook, and everything else in the background.
If you do all your data by Cellular, then 4 hours of screen time will probably be your limit. It is hard to tell if you have a wake lock issue or not, as we don't know anything else about your usage, apps that are frozen, gestures on/off, etc.

What does the next screen show - when you tap on the graph - it will show screen on time and wake time.
And do you have power save mode on?

Alright guys, I need the best battery saving apps out there

I'm going on a sixteen hours journey, hoping to pass the time with my Nexus 4.... Playing games(Asphalt 8), watching a movie & listening to my music.
So what do you guys recommend as the best battery saving app? Plus I need a video player that can dim the screen brightness more than MX player, since it's a night time journey, I don't need that much brightness at all.
Thanks in advance guys!

dont use an app for that... underclock and undervolt, turn everything off that you dont need and dimm your screen... you propably wont make it anyway for this long... apps use energy, they dont save it...
Gesendet von meinem GT-I9070 mit Tapatalk 4
In my experience the best battery saver is the airplane mode. Disconnecting antennas you save a lot of battery.
My two cents.
Agree with both of these posts ^^^

What's good for underclocking? I personaly tried 4 different apps, and underclocking just works for like half'n hour, then the max clock goes back to 1.5GHz. Looks like it doesn't matter which app I use.
These are the apps I tried so far:
Trickster MOD Kernel Settings
System Tuner Pro
franko.Kernel updater
No-frills CPU Control
BatteryGuru from Qualcomm, and of course a power bank!
Battery saver type applications only work by disabling services well the phone is sleeping, so the more the phone sleeps the more good they do, Qualcomm Battery Guru disables synching or changes synch schedules, Juice Defender does similar plus adds disabling mobile data except at certain synch time intervals, none of them will do anything to make your battery last all say, especially if you are using the phone.
Best bet, really your only bet, to get 16 hours of use is an external power source of some kind.
Get a power bank like mentioned. Amazon has hassle less returns if you do not "like"

There is no best so, but common sense. Just manually turn off things you don't need or use the phone less or by a tablet and do the videos and gaming on it instead. Portable battery charger works too.

You're going to need an external battery if you want to watch a video for any more time than a few hours.

[ISSUE] Galaxy Note 3 [ISSUE]

Look at the screenshot, for some reason, the battery usage I dicates that I've been using Wi-Fi but I have it disabled. Also, it says my device isn't awake in the usage...
My battery seems to drain much too when nothing is running and I have every feature disabled such as sync and gestures...
Please give me feedback/solutions about this and share to me what you think, thanks!
Have you tried turning it off and on again? Stupid thing but you never know.

Battery drains fast!!!! Help!!!

For the past few days I've been noticing that the battery is draining terribly fast, a quick check in the battery details page revealed that my wifi is being used throughout the time my phone is on, even though the wifi is off in settings and quick songs notification panel. How's that possible?. Is it some app which is using the wifi?. But can the app use the wifi which is off? . My S4 is a GT-I9500 model running 4.4.2

WIFI is always ON in your example, but it is not the issue you are looking for.
You have to find what application ( or wakelock) is running in background when your graph is in AWAKE state.
Drain? What drain? There is absolutely no drain visible on the screenshot. Your screen uses power. That's normal for a screen to do.
Smart Stay and adaptive (screen mode) drains battery a lot so you should consider disabling it.
I've turned off adaptive display, ill check if it will improve the battery life. Thank you

As u can see from this graph, my phones charge came from 95 to 15% in just 7 hours, with hardly any usage. Is this issue hardware related, could a faulty battery be the culprit. My phone is just 3 months old and still under warranty, should i consider replacing it.
