Just flashed, I can already see it behaving differently. Most notable it will not hold LTE in my house anymore (great).
I an tell you right now this will drain my battery faster its bouncing back and forth, back and forth.
Ugh.
Will report back with battery life.
I made sure I flashed with 100% battery to avoid any issues caused by this (it DOES happen, trust me, ask the devs who worked on the Atrix.)
Seems ok so far though, who knows maybe the radio is much better and uses less power. its been unplugged for like 20 mins and its at 99% with about 5 of those minutes in use. Not bad.
When my blue tooth is off it gets better battery than 4.3 but I can't really tell when BT is on...

My other phone's a Ferrari.

Yep, its been reported from various websites that KitKat completely borks battery usage, especially on Note 3's and Nexus devices. I've gone through three Note 3's as a result and finally gave up troubleshooting and gonna stick with Jelly Beat

I'm having a funky wakelock issue. Over the last couple of days I've had a PhoneApp partial wakelock that's been running almost continuously while the phones been off the charger. Today a new one related to the phone popped up. I've attached screen shots and dump files from better battery stats so hopefully someone can help me figure out what's going on.

I also have the log cat file if needed.
Do you have any MOD that enables the Torch/Flashlight to work from the lockscreen by long pressing volume up or down? I used to have that on and it killed battery from my experience
I do have that mod enabled although I have had it enabled for months and have not had any issues with it draining battery.

Yeah I would disable it for process of elimination to see if that's the cause.
Or another route is do you remember if you restarted your phone since you unplugged it off of the charger? Try to restart your phone everytime you take it off of a charger with the MOD enabled to see if that corrects it
I don't know why this fixed it but it did. I wonder what the developer changed in the coding to cause this to be an issue now

I read that not only the long press for torch but also the long press for music controls did the same thing. Thought it would be a great idea until I read about the power drain

With the note 3's massive battery I was still finishing an 18 hour day with 40-50 percent remaining but anything that hits battery life, in particular anything that keeps the phone from deep sleeping, has got to go.
For me it's not so much about day to day battery life as it is about long term battery health

I originally had the 10.1 (2014) Wi-fi version. It is not rootable without tripping KNOX and it had horrible battery life.
I now got the LTE version (T-Mobile P607T) and after rooting with TowelRoot (KNOX 0) and disabling all the bloatware, I got GREAT battery life right out of the box! I charged my tablet 100% while it's off for the 1st time and now I got:
- Almost 24 hours since last charged
- Almost 5 hours of screen on time with LTE and Wi-fi both ON
- 15% remaining
This is AWESOME!! I am sure it will get better after subsequent use and charge.
Sorry for the excitement, but I got much better battery life than my Nexus 7 (2nd Gen)!

Same here man! Even with 3d gaming (which I've seen many posts complaining about that in particular causing "massive" drain). I do use Greenify, Unbounce, etc. I'm easily good for the full day with it fully charged. My perspective is relative though, as I upgraded from a Note 8, which burned close to 10% just rebooting! So IMO, the battery life on this tablet is excellent, and easily comparable to my heavily modded / optimized Note 3.
This, perhaps, deserves it's own topic (and after explaining the procedure at length, decided I should just post one ), but especially after flashing ROMS, kernels, etc., make sure to calibrate your battery correctly! I think those instructions are worthy of a new topic (the info's here, but spread all over the place). AFAIK, none of the calibration apps work nearly as well as this, which is kind of the "old school" method, but it works very well! So I'll post that up, and definitely would recommend checking it out... It took me a while to figure this out, but I did discover how to do this on a tablet (without a phone / dialer) so hopefully that will be helpful to many here
Edit: Rereading your post, I was wondering what method you used to debloat? I'm currently semi-debloated, running xKat and freezing many system apps in Titanium (without negative effect), but then I've encountered permissions errors uninstalling system apps via that app. Just wondering specifically what method you used to debloat. TIA!
My phones battery decided to increase in size for the last two days and now i have replaced it. Does anyone know why this happens and what I can do in the future to avoid it?

Ya my note 3 did the same thing, i thought it was tye battery caz of the 8 dollar price. That is the conclusion i came up with too the phone was never really hot and 2 of those batteries swelled up making them unusable. I did upgrade the battery didnt have any more swell. I would like to know how that does happen though, i thought i was the onlu person that ran into this im glad read this post and hopefully can get an answer as im very curious if it was the type of battery or if was kernel. I cant remember the kernel i had but thought might be from putting too much speed in my rom.

Yeah. I want to know this too. These days i have been swapping between stock and cm 12.1 and on stock the battery amp ranges from 1200mah to 1800mah but on cm12.1 it always stayed at 1800mah and also phone got hot. It may be due to that or it may be because discharged this battery once to zero and then recharged it to 100 and then jump charged a couple of times. A lot of factors and this one was abused a lot so I can't put my finger on exactly what I did that caused this.
I just got my phone and the battery life looks like s***

Note: I haven't charged to a 100% yet. Just got the phone and it had 25%~ battery off the box
So what is the problem?
If you check the screenshots uploaded by other people about their battery life, you'll see that mine is WAY lower.

I'll test it out for a day or two. If the battery remains like this, I'll ask for a replacement.
This thread is so foolish. You got a phone with 25% battery, have probably been playing around with it, syncing everything, having the phone settle in, haven't fully charged it, and you're complaining about battery?
Do you also give 1 star reviews in the play store because an app that clearly says needs root, won't work on your non rooted phone? EVERY phone has to settle in. No phone is going to give you 5 hours screen on time with 25% battery from a fresh out of the box setup. Your expectations are way too high lol.
Give it time before you complain man, come on.
Hey, everyone
I am sorry, I haven't bought a new phone in 4 years. I had forgotten about how to bench phones. I wasn't complaining, I just wanted to know if I should be worried.
Just give it a day or two. It'll come around
I've mostly used iPhone until now, and as a big fan of Steve Jobs (not Apple) for years I was both satisfied but also incredibly getting bored and dissatisfied with the latest non-upgraded iPhones so I decided to switch. Boy was I wrong...
The reason why I mention the iPhone is that, since this is either illegal or highly aggressive against the user, the iPhone was always ULTRA stable, in that battery, phone, temperature was always linear (with of course slow decay of the battery) no matter what I installed or modified.
Now I've had a Galaxy S8 for 6 months, and while I didn't root it (except ADB-enabled it) or even updated it to Oreo, the Galaxy S8 is constantly changing my settings but also performance and temperature are changing from periods to periods without any inputs from me. And now, while I could except from 26h to 40h of usage (while using the same apps and settings), my battery has been going haywire and ****ed, and I can feel the S8 getting hot quicker than usual.

As you can see here, the Android System (listed as DeX) and the kernel which is constantly wakelocking, are screwing my battery without any changes on my end whatsoever (Pokemon Go usage is as expected and usual). A month ago, it was the Phone Radio screwing over my battery without any input, but still it had better battery. My question is not so much how to fix the battery usage (it partly is but I know how convoluted this can get with Package disabling actions) but rather: why the heck does the smartphone, samsung, google or god know what ****ing tempers with my settings and usages and suddenly the behaviour of the system changes screwing my battery despite every effort I make everytime to optimised it and disable non-system packages?
I gather XDA is not to best place to get answers. Why the heck isn't there any clear-cut list with description for popular smartphones and versions somewhere?
