My new note's battery seem weird after I let it run to 1% and then charge up to 100%.
After that, it seems to lose battery very much faster.
Left overnight, it went from 79% to 49%!! a 30% drop!!
I checked Battery status report battery health is good and average 33-35 degrees temperature.
Bulk of battery usage is reported for Display (62%, "time on" of 1hr 30m) ...
Is this normal??
What can I do?
Thanks.
Maybe the battery needs some recalibration, run it down to 1% then charge the phone while its still off.
Here's the battery level profile...
Not sure what is keeping the phone awake even while screen-off??
Any help or advice to diagnose and resolve the battery issues appreciated.

Try a factory reset and then calibrate the battery.
Just woke up after the first night with the Note. I had 45% battery left when i went to bed, and now 9 hours later it's at 43%.

You diagnosed the problem correctly by identifying the device being awake while the screen is off. I suggest two tools to narrow it down:
1. Cpu Spy, Market, free, displays how much time the CPU spent in the different power states. During the night it should almost completely be in deep sleep.
2. BetterBatteryStats, Market, ~2.50$, allows to identify apps with wakelocks, apps which prevent the system to enter the deep sleep power state while the screen is off and the device basically is idleing. On CM Spareparts xan do that for free, for Samsung devices I first have to find a free alternative app that works...
No wipe needed (yet), no delete this or do that. First find the villain, then shoot em, not the other way round.

Installed BetterBatteryStats,
but there is lots of information, and I have little clue what these constitute or how to identify what apps cause the issues??
You could post screenshots of all the screens of betterbatterystats and we will try to help you.
Charge the phone to 100% and disconnect it right before you go to sleep, enter cpuspy and reset its counters. Then enter task manager and kill all the programs and clean the memory. Now go to sleep and when you wake up post screenshots of the built in battery stats, betterbatterystats and cpuspy.
Hi
I have a similar problem, my battery keeps draining entirely too much for what I think it should. Mine gets drained about 40% in about 10 hours of very light use.
BetterBatteryStats shows it is WiFi that has a humongous amount of wakelocks, but the thing here is I have WiFi disabled.
Image (BetterBatteryStats): http://antti.vahtera.org/images/SC20111221-020623.png
CPU Spy shows nothing that looks that weird to me, although I rather wonder why so little deep sleep and so much 200MHz, but that might be if deep sleep has a longer "counter" than it did on SGS/SGS2. If I use the phone to check time, or twitter from a widget couple of times per hour, does SGN enter deep sleep during those "breaks"?
Image (CPU Spy): http://antti.vahtera.org/images/SC20111221-020441.png
But, the one that caught my eye, was the stock Battery Info window. During the (almost) entire 10h time the phone was awake?! Why in the whole wide world? Does SGN really have some bug with WiFi keeping it awake even though it is disabled?
Image (Battery Info -window): http://antti.vahtera.org/images/SC20111221-020744.png
I really wanna get behind this. I love this phone, but this battery drainage begins to be a problem for me. I got about 2-5% drain per night with SGS2 and 10-15% per day on similar usage.

yeah, there's something seriously wrong with your phone. Are you rooted ? would you consider a full wipe and maybe a different ROM ?
Not rooted, not modified in any serious way either. (Using GO Launcher EX, not TouchWiz launcher, that's really the extend of modification on this phone.)
Android version is 2.3.6, Baseband N7000XXKK5, kernel 2.6.35.7-N7000XBKK4
This is what was shipped with the phone. It's unbranded and unlocked.
I haven't really done anything to it but installed apps from Android Market (and a couple with Samsung Apps).
EDIT: This is my day-to-day phone with all settings as I like them and all things set, so I would like if I wouldn't have to do a full wipe. But if nothing else helps, I guess I'll have to, in the end.
I hope someone will be able to help you cause I've never seen anything like that.

This might help...
I had the same problem. The first night my Note was dropping from 100% down to about 50% when I was asleep and the screen was off.
In the battery stats I could see that it was the Android core that used all this power.
So I tried a couple things to see if it helped:
1) I went to WiFi-settings and set it to turn off WiFi when screen off. This is a setting that is not on by default, you have to set it yourself.
2) I turned off AutoSync (Google account and so on)
Those to settings removed the overnight powerdrain problem. The next night it only went from 100% to about 98% when I slept
And since I am a serious betterysaver I also turned off autolight on screen, and set it to lowest light possible (still nice picture). I turned on the "Autoadjust screenpower), turned off all animations, turned off all kind of vibrations on the phone.
I left the"System powersetting" alone. It didnt save much power and it made the phone slower.
All in all, now my battery is great, I still have lot of juice left after a full day of using my Galaxy Note
I seem to have fixed my problem, without having to do a full wipe. I don't know which part it was that finally did it, but I'm glad it now behaves like I think it should. (about 2% battery drain in ~5h in pocket, one 1min phonecall and two or three times checking time from lockscreen.)
Anyway, I apparently ALSO had the infamous problem with Mediaserver eating humongous amounts of battery, so I'm not sure if that had anything to do with the WiFi keeping it awake or was just a separate problem.
Long story short, here's what I did:
a) installed JuiceDefender, had it manage Wifi
b) turned Wifi on, restart
c) turned Wifi off, restart
[d) installed nomedia manager and excluded most directories from mediascanner]
e) turned phone off, recharged to 100%.
Seems to be working now. No WiFi wakelocks, no mediaserver eating CPU, deep sleep ~70% of the time.
Prior to ICS my tf101 would last a good 3-4 days on a fully charged battery with my normal usage during the week. Yesterday I installed ICS went to sleep with just over 50%, it had suffered some heavy usage yesterday, and woke up to a completely flat and switched off tablet this morning. This is very unusual performance for my tab.
When I installed ICS I did a factory reset to clean up my tab so only have a pinch of the apps I had previously installed. One thing I did notice is on the battery tab of system settings the tablet was awake 100% of the time were traditionally it would only have a blue mark were it was in use on the awake line. Battery usage data is unavailable, too, so cant see what is causing tablet not to sleep.
Any suggestions?
I would wait until it settles a bit more, plus wait for a custom rom. It probably has some bug, seeing as it is the first ICS for our device.
I also notice some battery drain last week
on HC and ICS
right now i reverted back to honeycomb
ill update you later
if anything changes to me
MyZine Widget
Got rid of the MyZine widget and my tablet now goes to sleep in standby. I noticed, when browsing the running apps list, that the app kept 'restarting' so it could buggy or at the least was having a problem with my tab.
Prior to ICS my battery drain was crazy, especially if I leave wifi on. Not anymore, it's back to normal consumption like I had before the last HC firmware update.
I had the same problem this morning.
take cpu spy to have a look if the tablet goes into depp sleep.
https://market.android.com/details?...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5idmFsb3Nlay5jcHVzcHkiXQ..
i had to reboot and then everything was fine...
I've still got problems with my tab. Returned to it after a few hours non-use and it had shutdown itself. Battery Drain still seems an issue too. I'll install that app and see what it reports.
Check WiFi disconnection policy and if GPS is disbled.
Here I am trying to get answers to exactly the op's problem. Everything went smooth installing ics. Even wiped data.
Woke up this morning to a very dead battery. Went to sleep at 83%. Interestingly, the battery graph show nothing after about 80%. No indication on the graph of total discharge...and no app usage. Just straight from 80 to zero.
I can't determine if it's a hung app or what....I've installed almost nothing. And it looks like the tablet drained while it was OFF!

Sorry for the link....I could not get the damn picture posted for the life of me...despite 45 minutes worth of my time.
i also woke up to a dead battery this morning. it was 50%+ when i left it on standby, wifi & gps switched off. i would have expected minimal drain on HC.

Try this
Go to settings /WiFi /click three dots in upper right corner/Advanced/ uncheck keep wifi on during sleep.
go to recently used apps and close all ( swipe to right)
put tab to sleep for a while
Come back and turn on.
go to settings
battery
tap grey battery level graph to expand
check individual bars to see what was on and off.
Looks liks some apps are keepi9ng WiFi and GPS on and draining battery.
It would be really nice in future update to have a setting like below:
Setting
Sleep setting
On screen off close all apps except ( here you get to choose apps to leave open)
I'm glad I am not the only one with battery drain issues. I thought I was doing something wrong.
Several days ago I charged my dock and tablet fully. I then turned off the tablet, closed the lid and didn't use it for a few days, when I went to run it again it was totally dead. I would have expected it to at least hold something of a charge in a completely off state.
Yesterday I left the tablet and dock on but just turned the screen off and again this morning had a drained dock.
Just seems like no matter how I try to settle on a way I still see more of a drain than I would have expected.

I will have to take a look at that setting myself and see what is up with it.
Yes, it would nice to have a sleep setting button for some helpful settings.
Have there been any firmware updates for the dock itself, or is that not possible?
I'm having the same issue dock was at 80% last night get up this morning and it's at 6%. I set wifi to off during sleep to see if that helps any.

Have to close apps that are keeping stuff on. Look at permissions. More and more are adding "prevent "Function X off during sleep."
As soon as I got the update installed I turned GPS off and set WiFi to never sleep, woke up this morning to only 4% battery drain. The tablet went 12 hours and went from 40% to 36%, i also had apps open...
apps open: engadget, camera, browser, gmail, market and settings..
no battery drain yet, updated yesterday and only 5% drain during the night with apps open
Help!
Same problem here. I noticed high battery drain yesterday and didn't think to leave it plugged in.
This morning, it wouldn't turn back on! I've left it plugged in in case the battery drained too far and will try to turn it on later on.
With HC, the power button was buggy (had to press really hard) and seemed that that went away with ICS (well except for now). Don't know if this is related.
Same issues with me. Except my tablet won't wake up when I push the power button. I have to hold and reset it. Here is the kicker: I will get a 20% power drain over 9 hours on top of it. So not only does my tablet not turn on after it being asleep, but I get a power drain as well!
My Settings: Stock ICS off a completely reformatted device, Keep Wi-Fi on only when plugged in, screen timeout is 1 minute and MobileDock Battery Saving mode is on. My battery usage indicator does not work... I have to get the very basic info from my battery widget.
Very disappointed! This was the one thing I wanted fixed the most. I hated using the airplane mode app. It severely affected performance.

Maybe we are all having the random reboot problem.
It makes sense if you think about it.. Mine would randomly go into reboot in sleep and the device would get stuck on the Asus loading screen. So when the device cycle through the loading screen for an entire night, you would find a dead tablet by the morning.
So far, I have encountered 2 random reboots, the only way to bring the device out of the boot screen is to hard reset it by holding down the power button.

Hi,
I've had my RAZR M for about a year and recently the battery life dropped to about half a day even if I rarely use it.
I noticed that "Phone idle" is always one of the top consumers of my battery power with around 30%, followed by "Android OS".
WIFI used to be in there too but I turned that off now unless I need lots of "free" data.
When it runs out of power entirely and I turn it on (after recharging it) it seems to be not using up the battery as quickly until I start using it.
I've got Battery Widget Reborn installed and I switch it to night mode over night. During that time it's losing maybe 5% but things start going down hill as soon as night mode turns off.
Trying to figure it out I installed Wake Lock Detector, which is telling me (right now) that for the past 10h46min, my phone was awake for 40min, the screen was on for 19min and it's been in deep sleep for 10h6min.
I'm not sure what exactly I'm looking for to find what's causing all this and how to fix it so I decided to ask here.
The phone is running Android 4.1.2 with system version 98.21.7.XT905.Telstra.en.AU
Cheers,
Tom
What runs under "Phone Idle" on the V20. It's been the largest battery consumer for the last week of use that I've noticed. My wife's V20 is the same and I had my brother check his and his wife's V20.
I'm only asking because I'm not see great battery life like other have been reporting. I don't have live wallpaper, have only two widgets on the home screen. GPS is set to battery save, screen is set to auto but that doesn't even come close to chewing up the battery.
Sadly I feel like I'm still using my old 2.5 year G3 where it'll need a charge mid way through the day.

I agree with you. Although my phone is just beyond a week old and does have all my apps installed, a factory reset can't be the solution here. This is the typical "I don't know how to fix this" answer always given by manufacturers and carriers.

In the roughly 3 weeks I've had my V20 I've only seen this once where phone idle was higher than Screen. I started looking thru all running apps for 'keep awake' time being high and noticed Android OS had keep awake of over 2 hours when it's normally less than an hour after a full day use. I power cycled the phone and it stopped.
The weird thing was Android OS didn't show high battery usage even though something was triggering keep awake. Looks like the keep awake was causing phone idle to be high.
I'd look at everything in your battery usage to see if you have any high keep awake times.

Sorry did not mean to be short in my response. When you set up your phone did you restore it from another phone using the nfc bump thing? I did the same and my phone battery was the same way. Wouldn't last even half a day. After i factory reset and set everything up manually i get 18+ hrs with 7 hrs screen on time sometimes.
If this situation doesn't apply to you then maybe a reset won't help. But you have to understand your situation isn't normal.
Make sure Google now features are all turned off and not running in the background.

I'll have to go through the apps one by one like I did previously on my G3 and see. Now within the battery stats there is only a handful of apps like hangout, play music, chrome and camera. The rest is OS related so that's why I was curious what ran under Phone Idle.

No and sadly I was looking for that feature a week ago but couldn't find it so I had to individually install most of my apps I had on my previous phone...made for a long night along with the additional emails and configuration or icons and such.
I'll keep digging away at the phone...I really want to like this phone ?
Has there been a definitive resolution to "phone idle" battery drain? I just got a V20 2 weeks ago on sale for $360 and its a fantastic upgrade over the One+1 I've been rockin all these years, but I'm also suffering from mediocre life due to whatever phone idle is. Some forums (for other phones) say phone idle is related to your wireless signal. I'm still with the same carrier and frequenting the same locations and had no such battery drain with that old One+.
i finally discovered whats was goin on with me..
i had the same issue..
phone idle was topping my battery usage list
it turns google plays have this "locationmanager service " and locationwhatever" that kills your battery over wifi even with location button off
Go to locations/ 3 dots in top right corner/ turn off WiFi scan. See if that helps.
My phone has been suffering from poor battery life for quite some time now, here are the screenshots, Android OS has been this high on almost all battery cycles.
I disabled wifi scanning as suggested above and will watch the performance, does the community have any other inputs to fix this? View attachment 4212978View attachment 4212979

Phone idle is always the biggest battery draw on my phone too. I have minimal apps too. No Facebook or similar types of apps. I'm on a Verizon V20 stock with the latest security update. Is this normal V20 behavior to have phone idle consume more battery than everything else?
how about doze mode , isnt that meant to help with this sort of problem ? ( my phone is currently on a ship )
Any update. İ have the same problem

So what did you do?
Would also be grateful if anyone shared a solution.
I specifically have a SIM-unlocked Sprint model (LS997) which am using in Europe with another carrier.
Using it in LTE preferred mode drains about 10-15% overnight.
Using it in WCDMA preferred mode drains up to 5% per night (yes, wifi and cellular data OFF and many apps greenified) . So I'm really interested in how this can be fixed and achieve 0% battery drain across several hours.
Or maybe it's SIM-unlocked Sprint ROM related?? I can't root my phone since it has the Feb 2017 patch and is a ZV6.
I suspect rooting it and using another ROM would solve this + the annoying issue of not being able to send images via FB Messenger and Viber while on cellular data (I imagine the Sprint guys placed some kind of restriction to deny media transfer for these apps when using cellular data).
I have noticed this too.. wondered why "phone idle" takes most battery... any suggestions would be great!
I am also curious about the solution. Phone Idle is at top. Even without SIM card. 30% drains during a night (everything is disabled, but no airplane mode is on). I tried factory reset, reinstall older ROM, replace battery, use no app but still sucks.
hi
my v20 phone battery draining was about 1% per hour before (about 7% totally ) and recently increased to 2% during sleeping time overnight. (draining 15% overnight in sleeping state)
it seems that during day either performance off battery is decreased.(about 5h with wifi and screen on usage)
Fast charging while second screen is On , is slower than when it is off therefore when second screen is Off , fast charging goes better . exactly , first 30 mins fast charging makes about 40% battery charge(instead of 50%) and after 60 min leads to 85% and full charging taking place after about 100 min instead of 80 mins.
another important thing is that sometimes shades have been seen on the LCD that many users have complained about it.
phone information is :
Android security patch level: September 1, 2017
BASEBAND : MPSS.TH.2.0.1.c3-00045-M8996FAAAANAZM-1
KERNEL : 3.18.31
BUILD NUMBER : NRD90M
SOFTWARE VERSION : V10g-AME-XX
MODEL NUMBER : LG-H990ds
my actions are as follows :
phone is factory reseted. No third party apps is installed. [especially social media apps.]
battery calibration steps for not rooted phones is taken place.(turning off the phone and charging several times repeatedly).
testing battery drain in safe mode in done and didn't change results
turn off location services and location scanning for WiFi and Bluetooth scanning
turn off WiFi being On during screen is Off.
turn off auto sync, NFC, GPS etc.
not using auto brightness.
not using comfort view .
turn off location services and location scanning for WiFi and Bluetooth scanning
second screen is off during test overnight. (either with second screen is ON with faced down to lower brightness in other day test )
phone is in Air Plane Mode and all data services is off.
system apps like Google services and Play and Assistance is limited by permissions.
following are some advanced battery drain overnight figures of my phone for more analyzing.
any help with this issue is appreciated.
When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
When i go to sleep and put my galaxy note 10 lite on the table at the morning when i wake up i have lost 18% of battery. I keep only the wifi on and it is full bars. No apps are draining the battery on the background and have it on mute and only s pen air and auto rotate are turned on. I do not know what the problem is. Any advices please?
Hi, same for me all is disabled except the bluethoot and the battery loses between 30 and 40% per 24 hours and it goes well into prolonged sleep. Sorry about my English.

I had the same issue. I did a reset within 5 days of buying, and it does not have the battery drain issue anymore.
I made sure to switch off all the (optional) services at the fresh boot of the device. Most importantly, do not switch on the customisation service. It is the biggest battery drainer and quite a useless feature if I must say.
Moreover, do not switch on the inbuilt antivirus software in the device status menu (present with the battery stats and all). It keeps scanning needlessly thus draining the battery.
Make a backup using the Samsung account (especially your Notes and contacts) and reset your phone. It helped me and hope it helps you and anybody who encounters the battery drain issue.
The reset didn't fix anything for me, I noticed that if I move the sim card the consumption is minimal but as soon as I reinstall it it's about thirty percent per day with almost no use of the phone.

Did you switch off the Customisation service, because it uploads your call data and other private data in the background.
Try switching off sync (button in the status bar). It should help pinpoint the issue.
One more way would be to go into safe mode and see if the battery drainer is the system or any app.
Everything is deactivated, there is only normal consumption in airplane mode.
I have already reflash the rom to start again on a clean basis without effect.
thanks

I had the same issue. I did a reset within 5 days of buying, and it does not have the battery drain issue anymore.
I made sure to switch off all the (optional) services at the fresh boot of the device. Most importantly, do not switch on the customisation service. It is the biggest battery drainer and quite a useless feature if I must say.
Moreover, do not switch on the inbuilt antivirus software in the device status menu (present with the battery stats and all). It keeps scanning needlessly thus draining the battery.
Make a backup using the Samsung account (especially your Notes and contacts) and reset your phone. It helped me and hope it helps you and anybody who encounters the battery drain issue.

hey i did everything u said last night and together with the july software update i feel like battery consumption went down a lot. thanks mate
Can I ask for specific functions?
Great battery life. No complaints here
I never had any issues with my battery life. I don't give it much down time but when I do very little battery drains at all. I can use it heavily all day and I usually only have to charge it once a day at most and that's using apps like flstudio mobile which would drain my battery in two hours at most with any other phone I've used before, galaxy s5 and note 4 specifically and the s5 had a custom rom that managed battery life quite well. If you're having battery issues you may want to do a reset or check your power settings. I always keep power saving mode on myself which makes a big difference. Also I don't keep things like Bluetooth, scan for nearby devices or nfc on and my location services are usually off or on low accuracy mode. But yeah, great phone with awesome battery life!
One more thing I noticed. When you press and hold AutoSync in notifications panel, go to Google account. Open the syncing items. Press the drop down menu (3 dots) on the top right. If it says Cancel Sync, press it. It initially got stuck on my phone and was the biggest culprit. Secondly, open the Samsung Cloud sync settings and check for the same issue of sync being stuck on Cancel Sync. You could check for other accounts as well.

Glad to hear that
I have disabled more than 100 applications (system, samsung, bloatware, etc) via ADB AppControl and now I am losing 2% overnight only.
normally i got this problem when i restore backup from another samsung phone.
if you restore your settings try to wipe clean your phone and set it up as a new normally this solution solve my battery drain
Another Solution
If the standby battery drain (most probably with WiFi ON) problem still persists, go to an authorized Samsung Care Centre and get the software installed by them. It will iron out any bugs that might have crept in during original installation. As it stays official, so it's worth a try.
As I said above, it is when I put the SIM card that I have my problem of discharge, I do not think that Samsung will be able to do more than what I have already tried ! Unfortunately, I dropped the phone, there is a knock in the chassis, so the warranty is dead.
@ parvizchitsaz, I knew the trick, it didn't solve my problem!
Please excuse my poor English.
With my G6 Play, if I charged it to 100% and left it on at night it would be dead in the morning.
With my Note 10 Lite, if I charged it to 100% and left it on at night, when I wake up it might be at like...90%? The battery life is bananas (well compared to the the G6 Play anyway). I actually can't think of the last time I owned a phone and it wasn't dead in the morning. Maybe my S4?

You, my friend, have been coned multiple times or you just leave your porn running in the background when you go to sleep. No smartphone ever dies when you wake up in the morning with 100% battery in the night unless you have been sleeping for 20 days.

LOL To be fair, this is the first flagship-esque phone I've had since the S4. Before I've had cheapos: two ZTEs, a Huawei, and that G6 Play. All way under $100, in fact the G6 Play was $35 cause they (Target) were trying to get rid of them to make way for the G7/G7 Plays and the G6/G6 Plays weren't moving.
So a full night of sleep (8 hours) if my phone wasn't plugged in...dead. Nothing running in the background except the alarm and data. I only ever get phones that can be rooted so updates in the background weren't possible (and I always disable auto-update in the Play store).
For now: during sleep time 7-8 hours goes down approx. 6-7%
