Hey guys.
Not sure if I'm posting in the right place but I've got to find out if it's just me!
Updated about 2 weeks ago to 4.2.2 via OTA and my battery life has dropped drastically.
The one thing I've always loved about the note series is the massive battery and the note 3 didn't disappoint until recently.
The phone used to last anything upto 20 hours with fair usage but since the update I get no longer than about 3-4 hours!
I'm not rooted and I've even performed a factory reset on my device and not installed any apps.
I've even turned cellular data off and left the phone in my pocket without even unlocking it yet still only 2 - 3 hours life.
Anyone else having the same issue or know of any solution?
I appreciate that downgrading back to 4.2.2 isn't possible but surely there must be something else I can do?
any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Note my screen shot of firmware version for you guys to compare.

Are you serious, from 20 hour to 3-4 hours? That is very strange. I am still on 4.3 but waiting for 4.4.2 for my region, what region version are you using?
Yeah can't believe it either. I've had to use a second phone just for work purposes.
I'm in the UK with an unlocked handset. Just received the update OTA.

Im having the very same problem. There are various posts on the net about it on various forums but there seems to be no definitive fix. Very Odd because it definately is affecting a large number of people - but here on xda - dev there dont seem to be too many?

I was looking at the updates to the s4 and saw the update thinking that it was for the ee s4 with disastrous consequences. I now have the t mobile set up with my ee card. Do not have wifi just wont switch on and it has 4g in the Window where you would find the normal 3g logo. There are also a couple of issues. So my main question is where would I find the stock rom or the update to put it back to normal

I've had this phone for just under a week. I'm rooted, but running stock. Is Google Services supposed to be using this much battery (more than the screen)? The screen had 2 hours and 44 minutes.
Thanks for any assistance!

My Android System uses #1. I guess they are glitches. Samsung Link was using #2 until I disabled it.

Yeah, now today Google services is way down from where it was. Strange. I guess I'll just keep an eye on it. My battery life is still amazing...

I noticed the same thing the first couple of days I had the phone and then it stopped. Possible uploading backups to google?
I never had the issue just like many of you dont see this Android System taking up all the cpu. I wonder if that's caused by me having my GPS on and set to show my location at all times so my close friends can locate me.

Hi, i've got my hands on a Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 running 4.2.2 MH6. Im updating it at the moment. but it reboots atleast 2 to 3 times a day. for no reason? it's not modded but AVG is installed. could that be the problem?
Can you make screenshots about your app launcher and sys info? Looks like some strange apps led to that. Or you can try to flash a Perseus kernel(or Adam,up to u).

Updated it to 4.3 but the problems are still there, it's under warranty. i noticed now that there was another problem. Network signal goes off then after some seconds it reboots as well. Should i turn it in again? it was just in for screen replacement! problems started after the screen was replaced! no problems before! it's a freind of mine that has this phone! and no he isn't going to mod his phone.
Anyone?

As already mentioned in other threads it's most likely that's the battery that needs to be changed due to a series of bad batteries that was shipped with the galaxy S4.
try it out with another battery and your problem will be solved

Is your wifi enabled at all? If it's enabled and not connected then chances are it could be scanning for networks which would cause significant power drain.
My wifi is off never been on

I went into the wifi /menu/advanced and turnedoff the wifi scanning for Google Apps and location even when wifi off. That is insane! Made an hour a day difference in usage.
On a side note, the signal on this firmware is better than. The wife's retail version has no signal in a store and I had 4g with two bars

I feel like my battery life is slightly worse as well. Although that could be attributed to what seems like weaker data signal. So idle time seems to hold up just as well. But the battery seems to drain faster when using data. I was going to monitor it for several more days and if it's still bad, i'm going to try flashing the MJE modem

For those running 4.4.2 on the Verison Note 3...did you all have to subscribe to the Chinese bot-net via Kingo Root, or is there another method to install a ROM? Is Safestrap the only option, or is there a full recovery available?
Thanks.

Try to change your battery and see whether it's still overheats.
I wanted to do that really, but i wanted someone else to tell me so i would not be a wierdo, you really think that would work?

I have 2 batteries. One gave me overheats, even though the battery itself is not bulged.
One totally no issues at all.
Same phone, same ROM, same setup, same etc.
You can give it a try. But then again, I might be wrong.
Technical issues can arises from a lot of factors anyway.
I will try, thank you so much for your reply

Try the old modem, the one you didn't have any issues. Otherwise it's samsung's crappy update.
Can i go back to that modem?? No risk?? I changed the csc, changed the sim, changed the carrier, changed 3 batteries... still blowing fire, 80c om the cpu... many times when i use my data plan
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
The only risk is signal issues.
So because of the modem i have the heating problems??

It may also the update.
What?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app
I may also be related to the lollipop update. Since you did mention that it didn't happen on kitkat. It only started happening since moving to lollipop. So it may also be the update. Go back to kitkat or change to a custom rom and see if it helps.
I tried all, just all custom roms with lolli
