Anybody else experiencing this issue?
I looked everywhere but found no real solution.......
Tried flashing new rom no luck ...
This was quite common with the S2, what you can try is to power off your phone and remove the battery for 20-30mins, if the same issue occurs either the battery sensor is messed up or IDK.
Happened with my infuse in the summer out in the sunlight and i posted a topic in there about it. They say its normal
Well I tried this still not working .....

Same problem here. Even i charge my Note also is heating. Dun know why.
Screen bright again
I dont know what cause this problem, but I got the same thing on my phone. A temporarily solution is to install Brightness Level from Android Market. It does not fix the problem in the system settings but it makes your screen 100% bright again

Why so much brightness?
You know that you will get burn-in sooner with so much brightness?

Is there a way to remove this protection?
When I have the gps in the car I get that all the time, even if the phone is not hot at all, very annoying because with the sun and sunglasses -> cant see the screen very well.. stupid!
If you have one of those tpu softcases you will not know whether or not your note is hot just by the feel. Those cases are terrific insulators. I had overheating with the Note on GPS and charging. It actually shut down once and dropped out of the GPS signal a couple of times. Took the Nillikin case off and found that the whole phone was very hot.
After the case was removed I continued the trip with four days of continuous GPS and on charge with no problems. Even with the TPU naked, it still got pretty warm at the top half of the phone, but worked fine with brightness set pretty high. I think this is normal for the Note
[FiX] Galaxy Note ICS OVERHEATING PROBLEM SOLVED
[FiX] Galaxy Note ICS OVERHEATING PROBLEM SOLVED:
1 Go to settings- developer options - UNCHECK "Dont keep activities"
2 Use go launcher ex (or some other good launcher...) instead of default launcher
3 Instal from google play android assistant and use it to clean cache and stop most of background process
4 install from google play "cpu master free" (MUST HAVE ROOTED PHONE) and set 1000 MHz for MAXIMUM, and check box "set on boot"
P.S. DO NOT expect that your phone will be cold as ice after you do this...
ICS is build that you can use max. out of dual core, and galaxy note is pretty slim and back is made out of plastic...All that increase heating problem...
Hope i helped! =D
download the free version of "watchdog" and it will give you an alert if any software uses a lot of cpu power, you might have to go into setting and add system process to the watch list, you can also whitelist and blacklist program so they are killed as soon as they cpu usage goes above a certain level, though this might be pro version only.
Only use watchdog to find the problem and then remove it as it can use quite a bit of cpu power itself.

Having modded the framework for my rom to include lower brightness mod i can say that the values set in the decompiled framework are virtually the same as gb values infact brightness was increased at the lowest level from 32 in gb to 40 in ics with powersaving mode set to 32 in ics

I see no difference at 38 and below in LQ3. The lowest dim at 39. At 40 the brightness will then increase.

Hi legion =)
I most often use phone at 100% brightness simply just because I like it when the screen is bright and clear, colors appear nicely too on high brightness. And outdoors in sunlight its sometimes hard to see whats on the screen even though brightness is set to 100%. You were right about the burn-in. Can see some burn-in if looking very carefully, depending on what colors there are on the screen over the burn-int areas. But still they are so weak and hard to notice even when you know where to look for those areas that I will probably have bought a galaxy note 2 or maybe even 3 before they appear clearly visible and too annoying to endure

I use the goku kernel together with the LRQ stock rom and my phone does not overheet. Sure it gets hot when charging or surfing the web, especially with wifi on. But this has been normal with all smartphones I have owned so far.

Hi,
Had it a week now, and the battery life is awful compared to my prior Note 2. The old phone could get through the day, no problems, but this one is flat by 6pm.
I suspect its to do with the Knox process using 10% of the processor (according to usage timelines pro), even though ive not got Knox enabled.
Also it seems to struggle to reconnect to the 3g network (three UK) after losing signal. I have to put it into airplane mode, and off again for it to re-connect to the network.
Hoping both these can be fixed with a software update, but has anyone else found these issues, especially people coming from a note 2
thanks
George
On a poor signal mine is the same, my note 2 has a signal, when my note 3 doesn't. Also battery seems better on my note 2, on day 5 will see how a few more cycles of charge pan out.

I blame Exynos. The US and JPN versions will be much better.
Just turn off all the useless gimmicks such as air gesture and smart xx features and give it a few days before judging. I'm on fifth day with the phone and its temperature and battery life is better than it was on first day.
To give you an idea, that's my battery usage for today and I'm still at 43%. Didn't even start at 100% but 92%. Though I've been on wifi all day with good signal, not on data connection, so that helped with low battery consumption.

Samsung has the worst antennas anyway. where i am living i had 0 to 1 bar at my note 2. with note 3 it improved a little bit. it displays the same amount of bars but at least i can make phone calls with no problems.
At the same area i testet the new Xperia z1 and it has almost all the time 3 and more bars...what the hell samsung...not everybody is living in an signal oversaturated city....
After 5 days, battery life is impressive and improving (i think)

San Francisco doesn't have a saturation of signal?
Same thing again and again.
Buy a top notch mobile and turn off all features that make it top of the line to make the battery last one day.
Really poor battery life on mine.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app
I think it's a cell handover problem
I'm not sure the antenna itself is weak...I've pulled over 10 megs on 3g in a two bar situation. However it seems over keen to switch cells . I have a tool that logs which cell you are on and even when I'm stationary it keeps swapping cells
Also the number of bars on different brands cannot be meaningfully compared since some companies stretch the truth about signal strength by not having a linear scale *cough apple
Looks like the poor handover was the sim card... went into three store and they said it probably was .
I was very sceptical since it worked fine on my note 2 but it does seem to have fixed it

Mines got better too
tbh its got better after a week of cycling.
Its still annoying as anything that knox is munching 7-15% of cpu power constantly and I dont even use it ... however its not as bad as it seems, since it seems its the CPU idling at 300MHz so in fact its less than a 3rd of the apparent figure...

You may try to
- turn Google Now! off entirely, voice search and answers still work just not the cards or some app controls (but there's S-voice for that)
- switch searching for wifi networks off
- I do not recommend turning wifi off during deep sleep, it causes more wakes and drainage on my Nex4
- use the S alternatives of as many Google apps as possible
- look around Maps to see if some sort of location sharing is ticked in, allow the only apps to access location data that you really need
- look around Know security, maybe it is part of the drainage
- optionally: try out AppOps to manage individual permissons per apps, I don't know if this works with the Note 3 though
I had intense heat in phone during my early purchase this month. Later after OTA update, the heat was completely gone. Today, all of a sudden heat started again and battery drains in 30 minutes, yes 30 minutes. Nothing new installed. Any reason?

I have same issue
my note 3 is very fast in discharging
when i have fully charged in 100% after a few minutes nothing touched it goes 99% then on keep browsing it goes 98% with an extra heat also..
this is only happen if you are on the stock kernel
i think the stock kernel for note 3 must be adjusted for battery saving...like note 2
Turn off animations. Dim the brightness . That solved both battery and overheat and lag issues for mr.
Sent from Note 3 (The beauty & beast)
I just noticed that brightness is already set to auto and it's less than 50%. Let me further reduce it
By the way where is animation option?
So bad to do all these to make battery survive. Samsung should have thought these well ahead before pushing so quick on new products.

Exhange Services is any email account and calendar sync other than Gmail&Google Calendar. To turn it off, get rid of those. Not ideal. Putting them all on manual sync does the trick too.
As for the spontaneous heat, sounds like IndexingService.
I never had this problem earlier after recent update. Started heating up from yesterday only. Putting my corporate email to manual defeats my purpose. What's the indexing thing you mentioned?
I try calling Samsung support and they insisted to bring all kits by Monday. Will keep it posted here.

Same here! This is the second day I'm using Note 3 and this didn't happen on Note II.
Now I disabled all Dropbox syncs, and disabled ALL sensors movements and just let enabled the s pen commands. Reduced the brightness to the minimum also. But it's still hot, even after rebooting.
I will disconnect charger and go out and see if, like yesterday, the battery will drain. Oh! And, by the way, I didn't charged it when I went to sleep and when I woke up I noticed that from 3AM to 8AM my battery dropped from about 40 to 7 and then stopped going down, but when I started using it battery drain started so fast again until it turned off.
Now I just made a full charge with the device turned off and let's check what will happen today with this new settings...

While I'm not happy to see others with this problem of their note 3 heating up its kinda good to know now that I'm not the only one with this problem. I posted about this also over on the tmobile n900t thread and I got a very good reply(useful mod) back from a member that seems to(so far) keep my device cooler than it was getting while extreme gaming on device.

Apps like facebook, twitter, email and such automatically sync their data. This eats battery at a staggering speed.
You can change the setting to manual sync in the apps, or turn off all auto-sync by dragging down thw notification bar, opening all toggles (the right top button) and turning 'sync' off (green is on)

Try using "screen dimmer" as well. I use that app and in the mornings and evenings have it set to turn on. It helps a lot, I have almost. 7 hours of screen time right now with 15% battery left and not on battery saving mode. "Apps ops" allows you to change permissions on certain apps, so you can stop locations that way (just don't do that for android system and settings it causes issues) And try "wake lock detector" to determine if your battery is being drained by a certain app. Hope this helps. I'm not rooted and get pretty decent battery life, avg 22 hours, but as much as 40 depending on usage

I have a N9005 running Alexndr's stock, rooted 5.0 ROM. Over the last few weeks the phone has had battery drain problems. I used to be able to get a couple of days out of the one charge but now I'm having to charge it in the afternoon. If it's at 50% charge when I go to bed it's completely dead in the morning. I'll attach some screenshots from betterbatterystats. One possible culprit seems to be com.google.android.gms which I think is part of google play services. Can someone please have a look at the screenshots & comment on them?
Thanks
I have the same problem.
I've always had 6-7 hours of sot, worse case 5 hours.
Now I have 2 hours.
I have done a factory reset, the problem is still there.
What kind of battery are you using? Have you tried using another battery?

Amplify needs a deodexed ROM and Xposed framework AFAIK and I don't have a deodexed ROM. Interestingly, my Tab S 8.4 has developed the same problem. Turning off Google location history has helped a bit but it's still way poorer that it was.
I think the problem is in the Google services itself. On my Note 3 I'm having the same drain issue. On my wife Samsung A3 too.

I Just freeze the app in Titanium Backup and test .
I also read the forum battery saving tips threads .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884
Probable that its the battery .
I recently bought a new battery for my note 3 (by Anker) and it was a grand decision. The horrible battery drain is gone. I used to charge twice a day. I thought it may have been the rom but, although i did also change Rom from Phronensis to Dark Wolf pure white, my wifes note 3 is still on Phronensis and there's no drain on her phone so it most likely is the battery. Get a new battery but make sure it's a good battery. Read the reviews before buying.
+2 for Anker from me .
