[Q] Kernel (Android OS) sucking my battery !! Can Anyone help ?? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

There are 2 things checked in my "location services" ...1) Access to my location....2) Use wireless networks.
Do I need to uncheck both ??

In that case do I need to turn on my GPS ?? Because there will be a few apps requiring "My location permission" !!

Yup all location and GPS data needs disabled. It milks your battery

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

Poor Battery Performance of my S 2

Hello everyone,
My S2 only last for 10-13 hours and it drains battery too fast. Tried everything and nothing happened.
In my phone i disabled almost everything which drain battery.
No Facebook
No auto syn of Gmail
Access location is off.
GPS Off
Soft key light/Vibration off
No skype
Disabled Accu weather app
Disabled many others bloat ware
Brightness is set at almost zero level
Better Battery Stats show connectivity wake lock. i think ghis the main problem for drain.
And plz tell me how can i set my phone to only gsm. There is no option for that in phone. In setting it says GSM / wcdma and only wcdma. I set it at gsm/wcdma. Am from Pakistan and here there is no 3g/wcdma.
And if by dialing *#*#4636#*#* i choose gsm, it comes back to gsm/wcdma. Is it draining battery?
<nvm, didn't read properly...>

what ROM are you using ??
What!?
You wrote "My S2 only last for 10-13 hours and it drains battery too fast."
On attached screenshot you have 80% left after 6 hours of usages whereas 48% is used by Screen and 17% is used by Boat Browser.
You have to expect about 1~1½ % drain per hour ... even if you don't use your phone.
Screen drains a lot depending of your amount of Brightness! If you can get 4 hours Screen On, your happy.
From what I can see ... your battery time is totally normal!
I have Stock rom ICS 4.0.4
My cellphone is branded version and it comes from 3 Mobile UK.

no its not normal.. today i charged it and not use it for 2 hours.. i put it on airplane mode and leave it for 2 hours after 100% charge, to check the partial wakelocks.
I thought this time connectivity service wakelock doesn't appear but it does.
i thought connectivity service wakelock is due to mobile signal but when i put it on airplan mode for 2 hrs this partial wakelock still appear.

Hmm , I am not a Fan of ICS though, but the battery time which you have shared (Just Saw it) LOL , it is totally fine , and secondly , use a safe kernel to root the phone (PhilZ Kernel) link is in my signature , and then Flash NeatROM Lite v4.0 , my battery lasts easily 18-20h and i am a heavy user of the phone with Calls , Messaging , FB , Twitter, Whatsapp, Viber & Tapatalk

PLS STOP with all this Juice Defender nonsense! A task killer often will drain your battery even more ... some processes will just restart again after you have killed it.
On newer Android version (GB and ICS) I haven't found any task killers that actually prolonged my battery time.
Adjust your screen brightness as low as possible, use a dark backgrounds and themes, get rid of unnecessary Widgets and Live Screen backgrounds, Sync Mail, Calendar, Twitter only when needed ... and then you will be fine :good:

[Q] Battery drain

Hello,
I noticed a battery drain issue on my Note 3 since the last update (N9005XXUDMJ7) 2 or 3 days ago.
When using BBS or CPUSpy, I can see that the phone is always awake (no deep sleep period) without any noticeable wakelock.
I performed many reboots including reboots in air plane mode but the issue is still effective.
Does anybody have the same problem and is there any solution ?
(Sorry for my english, I'm French.)
Thanks
Are you rooted? You should install better battery stats and look to see what's causing your wake locks

I'm already using BetterBatteryStats and this app doesn't detect any anormal wakelock.
I've already experimented this issue on my Nexus 4 until a new update solved it and I read on the forum that this issue was known by Note 2 owners.
I think it's caused by Android 4.3 in some respect.
My phone isn't rooted.

"Unified Daemon (EUR)" Causing high GPS Usage

Hey guys.
I just noticed that when I go into the location settings on my Note 3 (Omega V12) , i see something called Unified Daemon (EUR) causing high GPS Usage and probably battery usage too. Does anyone know what this is ?

Its to do with the accuweather widget on the homescreen, and the widget on the lockscreen. I have my location set as a certain place. So it does not use my GPS.

I also have mine using a set location with auto refresh every hour. I'm also getting the high battery usage and it's always on the recent location apps.
I turned the app off and it stopped consuming battery. Guess I'm in the market for a new weather/clock widget...
Hope this helps!

Theres some gps options that you can use to avoid the widget from consuming the battery:
1. U can just set it up to update once every 6 hours
2. U can change the locations settings for low usage or use just the gps.

My battery life has gone to hell since the 2nd 4.4.2 update on [email protected] last week. I was getty 36 to 48 hours every time. As soon as the new update went in things changed the next day. Now I am lucky to get10 to 12 hours out of it. I have started pulling app but nothing has worked.
The battery drain on my once perfect S4 is now worse then on my LG Thrill!
Some things that helped control my battery in Kit Kat
In KitKat Google changed how location services works which seems to cause a lot of the battery drain issues. If you have Wi-Fi turned off during sleep, apps are likely trying to get your location using GPS which will easily drain your battery. It seems like even with Location Services is turned off that some apps can still continue to try and request location. Personally I like using the location services and that many apps use in Android so completely disabling wasn't an option for me.
I've played around with it quite a bit myself and found these settings have helped me::
-Leaving Google Location Services on at High Accuracy has been better on my phone's battery life.
-Leave Wi-Fi always on if it's available. (Use something like Llama or Tasker to automatically turn Wi-Fi on and off.)
-Setup My Places in Locations that correspond to Wi-Fi, etc
-Try uninstalling/reinstalling updates to Google Search, Google Play Services and Google Play Store
-Go through your apps and uninstall anything you aren't using or is not from a reputable developer. A lot of apps seem to have keep awake and location permission enabled by default that don't need it. You won't see these apps in the battery screen because they hide behind tiny wake lock requests and Google Play Services.
Another tip for saving battery is to use LLama or Tasker to disable Account Syncs any time you disconnect from a Wi-Fi network.
Good Luck and Cheers
