[ISSUE] Galaxy Note 3 [ISSUE] - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

WiFi->advanced->untick scanning always available.

Fm radio?? Is there a normal one???

Iv just upgraded from my s2 to the s4. And the s4 doesnt seem to have a radio.
Iv downloaded a few apps but they all seem to use the net to get a signal. Is there one like the s2 that just useses normal radio waves?? Im already fed up of the radio cutting out in week areas

There's no FM hardware in the S4. Samsung made an announcement that people don't use it so they didn't bring it to the new phone.

Try TuneIn Radio. I think it's the best one. It needs internet.
Cool thanks

Battery question

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.

I've also have a same issues of that terrific battery it's only standby 19h15m16s with the screen time only 3h1m53s. Eben before i used note 2 battery is do better than this. Please help me..
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

The most recent Samsung updates are terrible for battery. Simple.

Not quite normal - you need to check the wakelocks and see what program keeps the system awake. Look after better battery status and/or wakelock detector.
I have done some testing and found that "Google Play Services" is the cultprit. I can correct it by turning off "Use Wireless Service" under "Location Services" but then some apps doen't work well.
"Google play services" and "AndroidOS"
Booth are at the moment the most problems (accu draining) , because the phone goes not in deep sleep. Booth are bugs from Google after Update. The phone is sometimes always awake and drain the accu.
I found no solution at the moment.
Only some temporally things that you can do. Clear cache from "Google play services" then remove accu and restart. Helps only for a short time.

[Q] Kernel (Android OS) sucking my battery !! Can Anyone help ??

I have GSam battery monitor installed on my Note 3 (SM-900) running stock JB 4.3 (MK1) ....
Since a last few days I have witnessed battery drain on my phone without any apparent reason....I charge my phone to 100% at night (wifi & 3G data is off at night) & when I wake up after about 8 to 9 hours of sleep I find that the battery is down to 85% !!! Strange isn't it ...
GSam battery monitor says that nearly 67% of battery is used by "App Usage" , on clicking App Usage for bifurcation of battery usage I find that nearly 50% of my battery is used up by "Kernel (Android OS)"......How to control this , any help will be appreciated dear forum friends !!
Please help me regarding this unusual problem....
Turn location services off. And then go check out @stanley08 thread about battery saving tips.

honestly it is not the real cause.
i personally dont turn off these 2 options, and dont have problem with battery.
but sometime (ONLY sometime), the Android OS also eat my battery. Just reboot the phone and no more problem
So try to reboot your phone?
Hi Ketani,
Congratulations... THREAD NUMBER 100, about the same problem we talking about over weeks
How ever.....
It's a AndroidOS Bug
Google rolled out a new GOOGLE PLAY SERVICE
It seems it helped. My Note is Bug free since 6 Days
Now you can wait until your country is the next, or download it exclusive on Dropbox or search by yourself

Wifi and data switch off randomly.

Have noticed about once a day at random times, my wifi and data signal will disappear when using the phone. I have to switch airplane mode on and back off to get my connections back. Not a major Issue, but slightly annoying.
Anyone else have this problem or know the cause?

I'm having an issue where my wifi icon disappears but I'm still connected to wifi. Also, the toggle is grayed out. Pretty annoying. I'm on the Sprint GS5.

The toggle is greyed out on mine too and cannot switch it back on. The only difference is that I loose wifi and network connection. Mine is o2 UK unbranded handset.
Update: my connections are still active when this happens.

I'm getting the same thing here, the data and wifi icons occasionally disappear and the wifi toggle goes dark (as if it's not connected), but I'm still connected and get data just fine.
Do you reckon this is a hardware or software fault?

I did install adblock (unrooted) for about 30 minutes and then removed it when I first got my phone. Not sure if the problem started before or after.

It didn't happen yesterday so will wait for next samsung update and see if that solves the problem. Unless it gets worse then I will factory reset.
update : shortly after I posted this it happened again so I tested the connection and I was still connected to wifi.
