It sound like you have a faulty battery if it only lasts three hours, I think you would have to be gaming to flatten a good battery in that time.
John.
Mine is the same. If I'm browsing the web, using instagram, Facebook and receiving email my battery will go from full to empt in easily 3 to 4 hours.
Backup, factory reset, reinstall apps from market (try to install only the ones you use a lot at first), restore the data you need. If you're still seeing the same things happening, install a battery logger / system logger. Use this guide to see if there's a rogue app that's causing the trouble: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937080
If it's still acting up and you cannot identify any unusual drain, I'd ask for a replacement.
After you get things sorted, you can use apps like Juice Defender from the Market to prolong your battery life even more.

thanks guys for the sincere contribution.... i hope your advices help me...
my top battery consuming activities are:
temple run
google play
msging
go launcher
and nothing else
gaming and browsing certainly make the battery drain almost visibly..
things above and beyond the above to try include..
1. reduce screen brightness
2. reduce frequency of or disable background updates by apps
3. no vibrate notifications
4. work more, play less!..lol
the battery life of the Note is great, unless you use it .. a battery monitor will allow you to see the battery drain over time..this will help when you address item #2 above.. if you accept default refresh times, and have lots of social apps your battery can die in 6-7 hrs without even using the Note at all!..
I really love when people give the tip to not use your phone as a battery saving tip

some hints for better battery life
Got mine the other day. First charge battery was fine. Second charge went down 7% in about 5-10 mins. Then it restarted :/ Came back on, down to 88%. Turned the phone off as was frustrating me as it restarted 3 times yesterday. But when I turned it back on I was at 83%?
Hasn't last me the day, it's on charge now. When it pops up telling me to charge it tells me to shut all apps and that using while charging may effect it charging. Is this correct? I didn't think it would have anything to do with it?
3 to the 4 hours continuous use is normal... Only if your phone is standby and then depletes in that time You should be worried. I recommend researching wakelocks in that case.
There are many variables that can atribute to batterylife depletion. Eliminate those first and you will have your answer.
I had best results on stunner version 19. To bad it has the death kernel (leaked ics)

I am facing a similar issue, facing a massive wakelock by PowerManagerService. It keeps the phone awake all the time?
Any suggestions?

Usually that wakelock is there cause you are charging, or have USB plugged in

Had the note for 2 days. It came with LA4 FW and updated via Samsung Apps for the latest FW.
Battery drain, that was none on LA4 became very strong!
Installed Better Battery Stats and discovered that the CPU was always running.
Factory reset solved it...

i'm experiencing Android System excessive os battery drain on my GT-I9500 under Omega v14.1, it's eating up all my juice from two days ago, even my display isn't over 10%, Android System is taking 58% and sometimes more than that.
Please can somebody help with this serious problem ?
PS: my phone is new, and my battery isn't swollen ...
Install BetterBatteryStats which can be found here on xda, fully charge and then fully discharge your mobile using it as you normally would, then look at Kernel wakelocks to see if there are any processes draining your battery.

My Google Play is 32% and i have hardly used my phone.
Hi all.
Just a quick question. My battery life is great but i feel like it could be much better. Here are my current stats as i write this.
With this its saying i will get under 4 hours screen on time, i wouldnt say i was a heavy user. I use my phone quite a bit but i wouldnt say it was alot.My biggest problem is with the android system anyone else have it as such a big drain? Somedays its sat up at 40%
Anyone know what i can do to rectify this? Im currently not rooted..
Thanks in advance
Liam
There are just two possibilities.
LG stock rom is so bloated that it sucks most of battery or GRAM feature is so good that screen time is not really problem anymore.
Forgot to mention, my screen time was 2hr 30 so probably looking at not even getting 4 hours screen on time.. Gonna have to guess that it's the stock rom sucking up loads of battery? Would that cause the android system percentage to be so high?
I'm having the same issue here.. Getting 4 hours screen ttime though...

would be nice to be getting more, dont get why android system is taking up so much!
Your signal is bad, and google play service is too high.

install greenify. it save my battery. last longer.
I can easily reach 6 hours screen on time. And I'm a heavy user and by no means try to save battery. multiple social networks, emails syncing etc often streaming music and watch videos and brightness set to a constant 75%. This is on StockModRom. So yeah I'd say something is draining your battery unnecessarily there.
Try installing better battery stats:

Strange..
Hopefully better battery stats will show me whats up!

If you find one, please let me know. As Android System is also eating my battery.

Strangely, for me, when I go over ~2h screen time the Android System drain is taken over by the Screen drain. This being said, I never got over 3h30m of screen time - this is with about 10h WiFi (including overnight => ~2% drain) and about 7h 3G. I have noticed plenty of crap among the kernel wakelocks, but I lack the knowledge to remove them in the source code and rebuild the kernel.
Also, BBS is among the apps that trigger a Qualcomm bug regarding sensor kernel wakelocks (sns_async_ev_wakelock), which, obviously, lead to more battery drain.
All of this is not really acceptable coming from a company like Qualcomm (the sensor bug, in particular, is present ever since the S3 QC version...).
I'll second that Greenify is pretty good at saving battery.
I too have had a screen on time of 6 hours 11 mins over a duration of being off charge for over 14 hours
I'm using StockMOD kernel but the ROM itself is stock as i can't seem to get StockMOD rom to boot.
Also if you Root try TricksterMOD and use multicore savings etc maybe get a bit more life from your battery
Hope battery life gets better for you as it is an awesome phone would be nice for you to enjoy it as much as the rest of us

Okay, so i gave up finding what it was. did a system restore and well what can i say? apart from WOW.
been on for 26 hours now with 2hr 20mins screen on time and still at 62% absolutely amazing!
still unsure whether to root and try and squeeze even more battery out of it!
Still annoyed i never found out what was causing the issue..
Wow just wow. This was my last charge, absolutley incredible.
This includes 1hr 45min of music streaming.
Streaming a 2hr 20 min film.
Twitter/facebook/emails and a tiny maybe 10 mins of web browsing.
I have with cyanogenmod 11 a very nice Akku.
99% Akku - 5 hours standby (Internet GPS.... On)
58% Akku - 4.5 houers tune in radio (everytime Internet on)
I think that's whery good

For the last few weeks, Android System has been, by far, the biggest battery user of all, taking up significantly more than the screen, even with 2.5 hours of screen-on time. According to the Settings app, 'wssyncmlnps' is the biggest part of System draining battery, but GSam battery monitor says it's 'SilentLogging.' Force closing these doesn't seem to work as they simply restart. My S5 didn't always do this, how do I fix it? According to GSam, System is literally 70% of my battery usage.

Are you getting poor/short/decreased battery life, or just trying to stretch further? How long is your battery lasting?
Shorter, significantly. For a while I could expect 20-30 hours per charge usually. Now it's closer to 10-12.

It sounds to me like a rougue app causing the drain. There's no reason the phone itself should drop by more than half like that. If it were an issue with the phone, I am confident you would see a lot more people posting about poor battery life.
Did a factory reset last night, we'll see after today if that did the trick

What services do you have syncing with your Google account? Many services can really kill the battery.
EDIT: under Settings > Accounts > Google Account
I have a problem. I upgraded my moto X to 4.4.4 about 4 months ago, and since then my battery has only lasted 5 HOURS a day. I deleted a bunch of apps and only have a few and yet it still only lasts that long. In my battery life in settings, it says screen is using 50%, and its on a pretty low brightness, chrome and other things are only at 2-5%.
I REALLY need help with my battery, so if anybody could help that would be awesome.

I also have poor battery. I lose 50% or so overnight. And during the day I get around 3+ hours SOT generally.
I've seen battery fluctuations after some app updates. like.. battery was great (day and a half per charge), got some app updates from Google and battery life was bad (half a day then had to charge!), got more updates, battery life was back to "normal", and last week or so I got some more updates and battery was back to bad.
Also, my phone is now going on 2yrs old. So the battery has likely degraded and probably doesn't hold as good of a charge because of that too.
check for app usages like google play services or wake time. if constant wake time, could be an app that is keeping the phone from going into deep sleep mode (often related to google play services update).
otherwise, I'm on LP, and I wish I could get 3 hours SOT...
Try downloading a battery monitor and run it for a couple days. I recommend GSam Battery Monitor. Also go into Android Settings > Battery and tap on the graph and see if your phone is going into sleep mode when the screen is off. If it isn't then there is something keeping your phone awake when it should be in deep sleep. The GSam Battery Monitor app will help you find out what that is. Even if your phone isn't going into sleep GSam will at least tell you what is draining the crap out of it. If nothing is glaring out to you, then perhaps your battery is degraded and won't hold a charge as well as it used to,

look at your CPU states - is going into deep sleep mode? if not, then something (app) is preventing it from going into that mode. also check your awakw status - if the phone is constantly awake, then there is an app that is keeping it awake.
try to change your governor from interactive to ondemand by using kernel auditor
Anyone having a high Android OS (high Keep Awake) battery drain?
If so turn off battery optimization in advanced Wifi settings.
Also root+greenfy+amplify pro+power nap = 24 hours battery with 3-4 hours of screen time.
Factory reset, don't install any apps, don't even sign in to your google account, just use it for 1-2 days like that and see what battery you get, no data either ofc.Stick to Wifi and 2G for calls.If then you get again 5hrs battery life, you got a problem with battery or something else, if way longer, lets say 12+hrs , then some app/setting was causing it and it's your thing to find out what it was.
