Hi.. I upgraded to the German ICS 5 days ago..
my baseband is N7000XXLPT
and build # is IML74K.XXLPY
and I put on the Speedmod 3.3 Kernel.
And i STILL have serious battery drain... I mean.. It wont even last half a day with not alot of on time as before with GB..
Can you please offer me some suggestions?? thanks.
thanks again..
Im at my witts end for a first time flasher...
Do a full charge and download CPU spy to find out if your phone its entering deep sleep, also check the battery stats for some clues as to what's causing it, finally go to task manger and go to the storage tab and select battery motoring.
This should identify any apps that are hogging battery / CPU.
If nothing its found, perform a full wipe.

A week ago i was having the same issue. It will run at max 8-9hrs. I needed to bring the charger at work for it to last until i get home to do another full charge. I have the same kernel and rom (LPY and speedmod combo). Serious battery drain abt 3-5% per hour doing absolutely nothing.
I did a little research and with the help of betterbatterystats i found out that the culprit is audioout_1 as betterbatterystats reported that audioout_1 wakes the phone from deep sleep.
By any chance do you have keytouch sounds on?

People here will suggest cpu spy and better battery stats for you to PERSONALLY find what causes your problem.
Installing speedmod will not perform magic in your phone, but its a start in the right path.

thanks for the replies gang.
I went to bed at 82% and in airplane mode.\Woke up to 42%.\CPU Spy saus only 2% deep sleep.
I dont have any sounds on. Alll sounds off except to vibrate on screen tap.
Im on the battery monitoring now in task manager.
My next step would be to purchas Bettery Battery Stats to pinpoint the programs preventing from going into deep sleep..
thanks for the answers again, gang.
**Question though***
under Task manager / Storage / Battery Monitor ...
Start monitoring..... then what? What does that do? I small icon shows up on the top status bar.
Then what? What to do after turning on Battery Monitoring? [email protected]!
Since we have different apps installed, you need to find out what app or process preventing your phone from going into deep sleep.
It's a pain I know but no other choice.
And you don't suspect speedmod?

No. speedmod goes into deep sleep for me without any problems. In his case it's an app that keeps the phone awake

I'm using Stock ICS kernel without deep sleep problem. Check sync options I ever found some app triggerred deep sleep problem while it's set sync ON.
thanks guys and gals for your comments..
I felt that youse were right in the fact that it was MY problem. within my GNote.
So I read and re-read other threads too & something caught my attention.
Someone said that maybe folks installed some sort of "messenger" or something that keeps "reaching out" to see if something is there for it.
And I remembered installing Yahoo Messenger to chat with this nice dame. about the same time frame when I went to ICS
Well...
I uninstalled Yahoo Messenger and WALLA!!!..
Back to deep sleep! And I got my battery back!
Thanks again for all the replies and comments.
They really help.
I hope my solution helps others out.
Try IM+ chat app it doesn't have problem with deep sleep. You can use yahoo login also.

Hi all, I have been seeing some screenshots that other people post about the sleep issue and there is one major difference from mine.
Note sure why, but my Note does not use the 1.4ghz and 1ghz frequencies. I am running a stock gingerbread unrooted ROM.
Is everything alright? I do play some intensive games on it, so I am not sure why it doesn't use its full power.
Please see the screenshot attached.

ICS is designed to use 1.4GHZ...GB runs on 1GHZ...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Wow you are honestly complaining why your phone doesn't use 1400 MHz and I'm here dreading why my note keeps using 1400 MHz draining my battery
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Thats actually a good thing, higher frequencies = greater battery drain. My note also rarely jumps over 800Mhz even though i play intensive games like modern combat 3
Discovered after each reset or power up, Note deep sleep and processor speed unstable.
Mostly mine run on 200Mhz, rarely above 500Mhz.

Do you have System Power Saving mode on? That mode can underclock the processor to save power, so if you're using it try switching it off.
I can see from screen shot power saving mode is enabled. Please disable then it will work.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Yep, that is indeed the problem. The sign for the power saving mode can be seen. Deactivating it should resolve your problem.

Thank you all. I have completely forgot about it, as I have turned it on after I got it.
I'll try turning it off just to see if it will solve the issue.
I have a follow up question. Why does my phone take so long to get into deep sleep? In the morning when I wake up it is consuming about 6mah of power just after I switch the screen on, but usually it uses about 60mah with all but BT turned on.
Is this normal? What values do you get?

There is no provision for accurate mAh readings on Exynos devices - the function simply doesn't exist unlike in HTC phones. Apps like CurrentWidget and Battery Monitor Widget can only estimate mAh usage readings, so that would probably explain your puzzling values.
The way to tell whether your Note is going into deep sleep is to use CPUSpy - the deep sleep timer should go up if you turn the screen off in CPUSpy, wait some time, turn the screen on and refresh from the CPUSpy menu. On Gingerbread, there also is the customary lag coming out of deep sleep between hitting power button and the screen coming on.
Looking at your screenshot, your deep sleep time doesn't look too unusual. Remember also that the phone does not go into Deep Sleep when charging the battery.

i don't think this is correct.. im on rooted GB stock and i see my note clocks 1400 ghz..
this probably depends on what games or apps you use... it just doesn't make any sense to put an O/S that is not designed to use the max cpu speed of the device

I just let it automatically go into Airplane mode during my sleep hours, the free Battery Widget Reborn app can do this. Only about 3-4% overnight drain.

The only time I power down my N7 or smartphones is when I'm doing something to the system that needs a clean boot.
You're weird. :silly:
we have 5 android devices in our home..
NONE of them have ever been left off for longer then it takes to reboot when flashing .. My iconia can go weeks Sometimes months without being shut down or rebooted..
but you can turn it off without any issues .. NOTHING Weird about that.. Giggles
No need to turn these off. Tablets are designed to be "always ready" devices anyway.
I turn mine off at night as well.
We can form a support group to keep the "I never turn my N7 off" crowd from bullying us into changing our ways. :highfive:

Every time you shut down your Nexus 7 an innocent puppy dies!
I leave mine on over-night. In sleep mode it'll only lose a few percent battery life over-night, so it's not really an issue for me.
I want to preserve battery as much as possible, so off it goes.

I would say turning it off every night is a bad thing, it's built to be on all the time, android is built to put a device in to a deep sleep mode when you're not using it. The cpu is far better off going to sleep then being powered on and off every day..... Just make sure you turn off wifi or change the setting to "Never keep wifi on during sleep" and uncheck "Notify me when an open network is available"
I turn mine off at night
I prefer to shut down the system every now and again. A fresh boot can make the device quicker.
Its also good to, every once in a while, clear all the system caches that have been created.
Why would you think that there is anything wrong with shutting down the tablet?
I switch mine off most night but it sleeps on other nights as it only uses minimal battery while sleeping, just feel bad for leaving on when I wouldn't my laptop or other computer.
Has anyone left there tablet on the dark clock screen (sort of like an illuminated alarm clock mode) overnight, wondered what battery use was like? Was thinking about trying it to use as an alarm clock.

This ^
Hardware wear is a real phenomenon. You put needless strain on the CPU and all other major components including SD and RAM by powering it on and off regularly.
I usually charge them overnight
No, leave mine on (sleeping) all night, every other night, or, thrid night, I leave it charging. Can't really see any advantage to shutting it down completely every night, the amount of power saved, would be minimul I think ....................
I turn off wifi with home screen toggle, then just shut my auto-off case. I get up in the AM and have lost 2-3%. That ain't going to effect the next time I need to charge by more than 30 minutes. I just hate waiting for the reboot. I reboot only when I get a glitch, maybe every other week.
I used his app from the play store since it was in script form on the T989 forums. Having experienced the battery saving it provided on that device is curious if anyone had already installed it on the nexus? I emailed him concerning compatibility but have yet to receive any word. Any ideas?

Bluetooth off. WiFi have been off most of the time since I have been away from WiFi signals. Most sensors are off. GPS on. NFC off. Talking about 50 min. Screen on for 1h 11min. No heavy use and battery saving on. Push mail on.
Same kind of use I had with my Galaxy Note 3. SGS5 seems to last about half the time that Note 3 lasted.
Android System and Android OS uses to much of the battery, this can't be normal.
GPS and data connection is active right? It uses the most power of the phone. It drains it like hell to be honest. Than u do have a 2.5 ghz processor in the phone plus a small battery that samsung thought is good enough but it aint.
That all must b it. Try to use without a gps and data connection and check the battery tyming.

Figured it out (I think)
Hi guys i think i MIGHT have figured it out.
Its the bloody wifi, EVEN WHEN TOGGLED off stays on. Annoying as hell and wtf android and Samsung? Its gonna upset a lot of people...
But if you want to read about it look here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one/344085-wlan-rx-wake.html
Basically to fix the android battery drain, you need to
Go to wifi settings, Advanced, I Keep wifi on during sleep, change to Never, OR when plugged in. (i chose never, T-mo) and Disabled Always allow scanning, and disabled Network notification.
Apparently the kernel keeps waking the device constantly. EVEN if wifi is off, it still turns on.
I will charge to full and test. There is an app called Wakelock according to the screenshot.
Guys try this and tell me if it works. Wifi should still work as usual after changing advanced settings when toggled on off...
I also noticed, even with wifi off, it still shows as enabled on the battery usage as a green bar, so this HAS GOT to be it.
Test this out guys, thank me if it works. Tell me if it works.

You guys do notice that htere is settings -> wifi -> advanced -> "Always allow scanning"
it lets " Let google location service and other applications scan for wi-fi networks, even when wi-fi is off"... pretty sure that's your problem
Unsyncing my Samsung account and turning off all the Samsung apps has drastically increased my battery life. Not fully resolved, but still night and day.
Removing or disabling unwanted apps always help save the battery by stopping the running of background apps.

OH MY GOD
you people go 12 hours and still have 50-60% and you complain?
It just shows me how much my case is worse...
I just got home, 12 hours from charge and I had like 10% and to survive that long I had to turn off location services completely and be on power saving mode the whole day.
something is seriously wrong with my phone's battery.
I hope you guys realise that Android OS and Android System shows high relative to other applications.
So if you leave your phone to sleep, nothing is really running, only Android OS and Android system.
When you actually use your phone for 4 or 5 hours straight you will see Android OS and Android system percentage not to be so high. But really it isn't any lower. It is just lower in relation to screen and other applications you are using.

I think, this is one of the defects.
I have also had this problem, I have not changed many settings since day 1 of owning this phone - nfc data bluetooth & sync off, Wifi scanning all the time only when charging & drains so much during the night! Last night I was on 42% at 21:50 then at 22:50 it was on 23% then at 23:50 it was on 15% & at that point I put ultra power saver on, which said I would have 1 day of power left.... I checked again at about 01:00 & my phone had run out of battery & shut down! Today I am taking back my phone to the shop & am demanding a new handset, I think I may have just had a faulty S5? Also my phone was getting quite hot at night in my pocket & also had a problem sometimes when powering on with the power button to wake the phone nothing happens & got stuck in ultra power mode a few times & rebooted? Other than this I love the S5 & hope my new handset is perfect? IT BETTER BE? [emoji35]
