Hey folks,
are these new settings in 4.3 "battery friendly" or going to be a "battery enemy"?!
Because if they both turned on, i have the feeling that the battery doesn't last long. Far as not as long to 4.1.2 version.
Any tips ?
Greetzi
Everything is okay. Battery will last even longer than it did in 4.1.2 .
With these both setting turned on?

Exactly.
But I myself use Dynamic option in Screen Mode. Also tried turning Auto Adjust Screen Tone (2nd option) off and battery drain increased,so I ended up turning it back on.
Thank you man!
I dont know why my battery drain is so much more on 4.3.
I even tried yank kernel but then my battery drain was even bigger. I configured battery save options.
anyway thanks for ur answer.

Battery life on 4.3 is so much better. It's like night and day. Did you ever have to restore your efs?
No i didn't. I think i dont even know how to do it haha.
But thanks for your answer.

hoping to get some help...
i have update my SM-N9005 from 4.3 to 4.4.2 through Odin. rooted. with CWM Recovery.
tried probably 3 custom ROM that support 4.4.2 and end up on the Official leaked.Build 4.4.2 ( rooted)
the battery performance is driving me crazy.
on 4.3 stand By mode i used to loose 0.8 per hour now with the same setting same features turned on. i loose 2.3 percent per hour.
on 4.3 screen time with the lowest Brightness i lost 1 percent every 10 minutes. now i loose 3% with same brightness level. 3 percent every 10 minutes.
Android OS and Android System are always on top of screen in the battery Graph. i
media is also on top of the screen in the battery graph.
have tried a lot of solutions and factory reset with no luck at all. ( i have placed the device with Airplane mode with no SUCCESS )
installed a lot of battery analyzer apps did not have a clue who's eating all the Juice.....
any idea how to fix this??

No wakelocks in BBS?
Install Better Battery Stats. Leave the screen off for 1 hour and tell us what the top Kernel Wakelocks are.

Partial Wakelocks are usually caused by apps running in the foreground. There's usually not much you can do about that. If you are actually using the phone, battery will run out. What you need to find out is what happens when you are not using the phone.
Do this:
1) Charge the phone to 100%. Disconnect the cable.
2) Let the phone sit idle for 1-2 hours with screen off.
3) Get Kernel Wakelocks from Better Battery Stats.
Then you'll know what's eating your battery when you are not actually using the phone.
In my case, I get ril-fd, l2-hsic and wlan_rx_wake wakelocks the most. I know the causes, but I can't do anything about them without rooting.

I've noticed the first 10 percent (from 100 to 90) go away fast as hell. Use your phone as you would today, just make sure you have enough juice by the end of the day. Leave it as it is overnight and then post your screenshots.. You don't seem to have any wakelocks so your battery shouldn't be draining.. Mine is going like 1% for 8 hours or something, the problem starts when I turn me screen on lol!
I had this problem on my all my Samsung device
the only solution was to take out the battery for a few seconds
worked for me on
note 2 and 3

i am loosing more than1.5% per hour where on stand by mode... everything is switched of.f im surprised there is no wakelocks showing... ill wait till the end of the day.
its been 4 hour since last charge and now im on 93%..
im assuming the drain is happening due to the bad reception where i am at.
how do you manage 1% per 8 hours that's Awesome (knock on wood) :laugh: .. is this with WIFI and Data on?
i don't understand ... how come i have no wakelock after screen off.. and my battery draining 1.5 % per hour on stand by mode.... and android Os always on top ?
BBM.
And I haven't done anything special, actually you have to do something to NOT get great battery life while idle. After a factory reset, nothing disabled (so G+, G search and all those wake cycles still present) with WiFi off and Mobile Data ON I lost the usual 1 to 2% per 8 hour sleep. The problem starts for me when I turn on my screen, not when it's turned off

What are the causes for wlan rx wake? 12hsic is related to mobile data i guess.

It's caused by broadcast packets sent by other devices in your network waking the phone up. The solution is to install a custom kernel that filters such packets.
Hi guys,
I have SM-N900 Note 3 and was worried about the battery life.
I factory reset it and only signed in with my Gmail account.
I left it for 7 hours at night, and the battery has drained from 100% to 93%.
Is it normal? I always thought Note has much better battery life and without nothing running in the background it should drain like 1%-2% over night.
what do you think?
(running stock Samsung firmware, 4.4.2. no SD card)
Thanks
If all working well my Note 3 would drain about 2 % overnight, (thats on wifi with BT, GPS on, no power save, no blocking of any type), anything above 5% I usually start looking for the cause. But to be honest with original 4.3 I rarely had to look, since I updated to 4.42 it's all over the place from as high as 20% to as low as 2 % and I can't pinpoint the cause, which drives me insane. ATM it's running about 4-5%, which I'm not too happy about and if it get's any worse I will start deleting everything until I get this phone under control. I have couple chinese tablets, where inside the settings there is a menu where you can stop programs from start at the boot up time, I search everywhere and I can't find anything like that on the Note, but since I'm rooted I can freeze or delete stuff, maybe not the best solution but it works.

woah, so many crossed data about your %.
and yeah - since you're rooted, you can install Xposed and install BootManager module, so you can see which apps are running from the boot.

2% overnight - 7 hours - for me. Data on, no sync at all, weather widget update every 30 minutes, KK, Faux kernel.
0% - If I turn on Powersave when Screen Off in Performance Profile(Xposed Module). It is amazing with of course a slight delay when turning it on. [Around 8hrs]
1-2% - Depending if my network is stable. Wifi-on. Zooper Widget not greenified. [Around 8hrs]
Hey there!
I flashed the official Lollipop (Germany) rom that is posted in the Note 4 General forum two days ago without doing a factory reset. Right now, I am experiencing horrible battery life. GSAM reports that the phone radio is using 35% of the battery life. I also see the 4G icon blinking every few seconds, indicating that mobile data is being used. How can I solve this? My battery life was perfect before flashing Lollipop...
Many thanks in advance!
Screenshot just in case:
Maybe you should try a factory reset.
Although I updated without resetting and one of my friends did a full wipe before and after, and we both see a decrease in battery life. Nothing too horrible, but noticeable. So I think it's just Lollipop. After all, even the Nexus devices have been having battery issues with it.
See if a factory reset helps you, worth a shot.

Thanks for your advice. I will be sure to give it a shot. A decrease in battery life is pretty bad if you ask me. I thought Project Volta was supposed to improve battery life, not decrease it. And definitely not as much as is happening to me. By the way, the phone radio is still constantly active. I hope a fix will be out soon.
Can you check your Power Saving menu? I have similar problems with all apps that are using mobile data. Their Total connection time is really long even though I have used them for a few minutes.

Unfortunately a factory reset didn't help. My battery is still draining way too fast.. I can get around three and a half ours screen on time. Previously that was around five hours. I will check the total connection time later on when my battery has drained a bit!
Horrible battery drain in my handset, too. 910F model with German rom.
Flash echoe lollipop rom.waaaay better then stock.no more battery drain for me and much faster!
Formating cache partition helped me to get rid of the battery drain.

That sucks. It seems like this is a very serious bug in Lollipop. You'd think Google would have it figured out in 5.0.1 but that doesn't seem the case. Very annoyed by this.

here the same battery drain of facebook after lollipop upgrade (germany)
when i unplug wifi it starst keep stay connected to facebook and it grows even bigger than screen battery consumption.
heve you fixed it?
thanks!
I found WiFi to be the culprit for the rapid battery drain on Lollipop. Check out the following posts with my observations so far:
iridaki said:
After updating to Lollipop, I found that the phone behaves very differently. I have high "stay awake" times, caused by Android OS, even on Ultra Power Saving Mode. However, screen on time is still close to 4 hours, which is what I was getting on KK with my usage.
Before people jump in and say I need go factory reset, no I don't, there's another Note 4 in my home right now that was wiped before and after the update and shows the same symptoms.
Also I did install Gsam, but I'm not rooted, so it didn't give me more information than the stock battery stats page.

iridaki said:
UPDATE: I think I found the culprit. It's the WiFi. What I did today was charge my phone to 100%, switch WiFi off, disconnect from the charger and reboot. Then went about using it as usual, only I didn't turn WiFi on at all, not even for a second (weirdly enough, the battery stats report WiFi being on briefly at times, but that's another Lollipop bug).
The results were a big increase of SOT (+1 hour, see my previous post for comparison), no more permanent wakelock and increased standby time.
My findings are consistent with reports from Nexus users, claiming WiFi on Lollipop is a battery killer, even on 5.0.1, which was supposed to be an update to fix said issue.
Now, not turning on the WiFi is not really a viable solution for me, as I don't have an unlimited data plan, so I sure hope Samsung will fix this problem soon.

Below are screenshots showing battery behaviour with WiFi on (first 3 images) and with WiFi off.
It's important to point out that simply turning WiFi off doesn't appear to bring battery drain back to normal.
Turning WiFi off and rebooting fixes the issue, so long as you don't turn WiFi on again.

LOLLIPOP
I've started to have very poor battery life 7 days after installing the DBT lollipop. 60% after 4 hrs use today. It was good at first but has been getting worse by the day. Something was making the phone get hot just now so restarted and its cool shortly afterwards. However I cannot identfy what it was causing the overheating.
Is it worth trying to wipe the cache? I did a factory reset after the install as it was boot looping. I really do not want to reset it weekly! Google is crap at backing up all the apps - 160 out of 196 were reinstalled after the factory restart. Very poor.
So I switched over from my OP3 to S7 Edge as it was supposed to be an overall upgrade. I used to get through a day of work (7:30am - 5pm) and still have ~40% battery. With the S7E I have to top the phone up before leaving work and keep it on battery saver. I changed the firmware from EE branded to unbranded and I am un rooted.
I was absolutely loving the battery life of my s7 edge until a couple of days ago when it started discharging at a ridiculous rate. I tried getting rid of a bunch of apps that I wasn't using but that had little effect.
Yesterday, I wiped the cache in the stock recovery (I'm also unrooted) and I'm back in business! I doubt I'll ever know what was going on (Android system was using 32%) but wiping cache is an easy fix.
My next step would have been a factory reset which I was planning on doing after Noughet lands officially. I'm happy to put that off as it's a bit more of a PIA for me setting up my watch and other peripherals..

I've wiped the cache in stock recovery and unfortunately it didn't help. As with you, a factory reset would be too much hassle at the moment, so I'm trying to avoid that route. It really is a nightmare to try and solve!
Is this battery life normal? I'm always on 4G with minimal gaming. Please tell. Thanks.

2% drop, I don't use AOD, I have the sd820 btw
If you guys dont care about warranty and stuff. I would recommend going to apc8 firmware of apf2(has some security issues like being outdated and such but if those dont matter to you then apc8 or apf2 is the way to go!). Im on apf2 rooted with prometheus kernel v.1.4 and here are my stats. Light usage like netflix or browsing but the standby is great!
I have 5h 30min screen time
I'll report my screen shots later tonight to see if it's improved. It was at 100% two hours ago and now it's at 80%, so a loss of 10% an hour still seems quite high? I've just checked and Android system is still consuming 23% compared to 9% for the screen. It's frustrating how some people are effected by this and not others.
So my battery has almost died and here are my stats. Any other tips to fix this?

I recently started using a pebble but the problem has persisted since before then. Today I've sent about 10 whatsapp messages and sent about 3 snapchat. I've used the recent apps and used "closed apps" to shut them all. It's as if my phone won't go into doze.
