Hi All,
For the last month I have major problem with battery life.
While the phone is NOT in use (like over night) it drains almost 10% per hour.
I didn't install any new APP. The ROM version is Samsung stock 4.3
I installed 2 Apps GSam Batter Monitor and Wakelock detector.
As you can see in the screen shots the Kernel is the major consumer (about 90%).
I will appreciate your help.
Antivirus, task killer/clenat etc?

Thats realy bad... Disable all GAPS (except Gmail and Play Store), any unnecessary apps (Task killers, AV etc). Let the battery go down to 5%, turn off the phone and fully charge it. Try WakeLock detector if no improvement.

Hi
Thank you for your answer.
I did all you said all ready and there was no improvement with the battery stats.
Do you have any suggestions ?

Back up your stuff and reflash the FW. I would suggest using KIES 3 and in Tools option Emergency Recovery. It will completely wipe your phone and flash latest FW. When finished, boot up phone but don't set up. Do hard reset (either via Menu or use the 3 key combo) and you should be ok...

Delete it. Its a bad app. Do only battery draining. No more Because android its not the same like windows
Or battery is old.
Either your battery is so old that it's just had it, or you have a serious issue somewhere.
Why has no one suggested the app 'Better Battery Stats'? Install that, charge the phone to full and when it's at 5% screenshot the stats and/or save them and come back and post them here.

i'm also have problem with battery drain issue and after checked with wakelock detector app here Wakelock detector
it was wechat app that have wakelock several time say 2000 times a day.
then i used xposed name per app hacking to prevent app wakelock and it solved my problem..
Hi,
I already installed wakelock app.
Here is screen shots.
Please advice.
Thank you
Your wakelock is kernel related. It could be GPS, bluetooth, using the wrong governor...there are so many things that it could be that it's impossible to guess.
Use Better Battery Stats as has been suggested. It gives a much more in depth report of battery use.
Yeah,it's hard to guess when related to kernel...mine is related on app itself

Hello everybody
I have problem with battery drain when my WiFi is on. During night my battery drain 1-2% which is great and WiFi is off, but when I turn my WiFi on and just read news with some app it goes down 5-10% in like 10-15 min. I'm not rooted because he is still in warranty and I don't wanna lose it just yet.
I've searched the forum and I have just found that people have problem when WiFi is off and battery drain like is on but that's not problem here.
Any suggestion?
Thanks.

To diagnose this you would need an app that monitors what it is that is draining the battery.
Try installing "Better Battery Stats," open the app once then close it. For a few hours, use your phone like normal or in a situation you want to diagnose. Then go into Better Battery Stats and post a screenshot of "Kernel Wakelocks," "Partial Wakelocks," and "Other" here so we can take a look.
Better Battery Stats: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2411941&d=1385305325
Other apps which are good to see what is draining the battery are GSam Battery Monitor and Wakelock Detector.
GSam Battery Monitor: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gsamlabs.bbm
Wakelock Detector: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector
Do the same with these apps as I said with Better Battery Stats and post screenshots from them.
Good luck!
Thanks for quick replay. I'm using GSam Battery Monitor for 2 weeks now and here are the images I think it could helps.
If you need something more just ask.

Those pictures look pretty alright. I'd say you aren't suffering from the Android OS bug a lot of other people are suffering from. What is your screen on time? 32% battery left after 6½ hours is quite a lot of drain, it seems as though you must have had the screen on almost the entire time. Looks as though Facebook and Google Services are the ones draining your battery. You could uninstall or deactivate sync for Facebook for a while and see. Google Play Services issued an update some day ago which is rolling out which should fix battery drain as well. You'll have to keep a lookout for that one.
I had some issues after rooting and installing liquid smooth so I unrooted and installed stock firmware. 4.4.2 vodafone uk.
I've rooted again (cf) and deleted a fair amount of bloatware.
My issue is just battery related.
Normal usage just seems to hammer my battery. (About 10% gone in 20 mins phone and internet usage)
There are no background apps that I can find.
Screen is using most battery (40% which is expected) followed by OS etc.
I can charge my phone during day (I spend a lot of time in car) but that's not quite the point. I shouldn't have to!
Anyone got an idea of what might be causing drain???
I've ordered a new battery to see if it makes a difference. Could the issues I've had recently somehow shorted my battery a bit?
NB. It doesn't seem to drain much when locked. Only when in use.
Any trouble shooting appreciated!!

Maybe it's the battery.. how old is your phone? Or if it something else, you can download many apps which creating battery stats, like this one here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats
You can also download anotherone. But with this kind of programs you can look what drains your battery so fast.
I've got betterbattery and gsam.
Not sure how to use them though.
Bbs:
under process system_server says 63%.
Gsam says 45% (which seems ironic)
Under network vending google ply store says 96%
Gsam:
58.9% is consumed by app usage (389 by screen)
Biggest app sucker is android system @20%.
These stats help or do I need to give more info/screenshots??

Can someone please tell me why these 2 things are consuming so much of battery??
Although the screen on time is around 2 hours...
That's pretty bad screen on time. Normal use got me about 2h SOT at 70%. Check if you enabled sync or NFC.

sync is enabled, but nfc is not....
it has been since a few weeks, i don't know why!!
i remember watching movies on it for about 4-5 hours and battery left was about 50%
Disable sync. It takes up a lot of battery. If you can't disable, set sync interval longer or to manual.
will change the sync to off...and see if that has any significant change....thanks
No improvement even after disabling sync.
I noticed today a instant drop in battery percentage when I reboot the phone.
Also I found out in a thread about cupid showing the capacity as 2100 maH in some note 3...I found the same on mine...
Is it some calibration issue...??

First try to turn off the phone completely and turn it on again. Sometimes that may help.
Second, install Wakelock Detector to see which process eats your battery.

I tried Turning my phone completely off and then turned it on....still the battery drain was same..
finally i had to factory reset the phone, installed a few daily usage apps...and observed the battery backup.
i am getting a 27 hours of on time with 100% battery and screen on time is 2-2.5 hours for this period. Is it ok??

What's the update on the battery issue? Which custom ROM are using on Note 3 now?
Hey guys. First proper charge from around 3% too 100% and I'm getting battery drain already, I thought this issue was resolved in lollipop? Not the mention the emense heat that comes off of this device
Check out the picture and get back to me. Thanks.
Jack
Same thing is happening to me... I don't find that the drain is really so bad, as I still get pretty great battery life, but does appear that this issue is still present in lollipop. Seems pretty wide spread among Android users.
I had an iphone for about 5 months. Went back to android and the problem still persists I got 3.5 hours of screen on time yesterday. Take a look at this
Also getting battery drain, the main offender seems to be the "mobile standby" which is always around 50-65% for me.

I think this was an error in reporting in the stock firmware, I haven't had a problem with the battery, in fact it's been really good. Since updating to B132 (GRA-L09) the battery usage seems to be reported correctly.
Interesting, I'm not sure what the normal drain should be then. My HTC One had a pretty good battery life, but it seems with this phone the battery drains quite fast when I'm using Chrome and WhatsApp etc. The power saver reports Chrome uses a max of around 10% but the rest use very little %, yet it seems I'm using around 30-40% of the battery in around half an hour.
Do you think using a custom rom (when they become available) would be any different?
Not sure if a custom rom would help. Are you rooted? If so you should have a look at betterbatterystats which should show you what's using up the battery.
When I'm mostly on wifi I can get 5 hours of screen time with 32+ hours running time.
i have the same problem with the "mobile standby" batery drain
i did a clear data/cache then factory reset, and now it's ok
androyd system still drain batery pretty much
sorry for my bad english

Was going to wait for a few roms to be released before rooting, but the battery life seems so poor I think I'll do it just to find out.
I've had the same Problem with the battery drain and analysed this with the Wakelock Detektor (needs root). Cause was the "NlpWakeLock" thats part of the Google Services. Then I disable the Google Location History everything went well. They are a lot of of useres, who have the same problem. The only real solution (If you want to use the Location history) is a Xposed module for that you need a working Xposed framework.
I have now disabled Google location history, hopefully this fixes the problem for me too.

Hey,
I want to get more stats about what consumes my battery, wake lock detector doesn't work, I'm rooted but I get something along the lines of "failed to perform task" better battery stats won't show me any processes?
There is also the tool called "Better Battery Stats" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats Works on my OP5.
I used to use Gsam Battery Monitor. But since Nougat, I don't think it's very accurate. The screen % of battery used never went above 30% and in the apps list Kernel was always 20% to 35% even when using the phone a lot. So I went to using Accubattery and Better Battery Stats

LOL, I knew I was missing something, I used to use this on my Samsung s3 way back never used it since. How would you go about stopping those system services wakelocks?
I use Accubattery personally, but only for the first few cycles after getting a phone. Once everything is worked in and running smoothly battery life never really changes for my use again. Though I would reinstall if an update noticeably changed battery life.

Try disable service from the app store (blue Droid icon). I used it frequently on my S7. Or you can use amplify, if amplify can run without Xposed at least. Never looked into that.
