It seems my battery is considerably worse after the lollipop update. It also seems that when the phone is idle and the screen is off a lot of battery is being used. I checked battery settings and it saying Android Os is taking up most of the battery.. Which u guess it normal.
Anyone else experiencing this?

If you updated from KK to LP, it's advised to factory reset the phone
KK leaves behind rubbish battery draining files after the update, happened to me and many others, resetting it solves that
Ah damn was hoping it wouldn't come to this but I guess I need to do it. Guess there's no way to root if I do this either.

There is, but it would void your warranty by tripping KNOX

I just had it fully charged this morning and this is what I have found. Why does it behave like this and is there any possible fix for this?

Anyone else has the same problem?
I tried flashing stock rom, cm10.1rc4 and wiped phone many times.
Same result always.
I even changed batteries.
Hi everyone
So I update my N9005 to the official polish kitkat firmware and I've been experiencing episodes of screen unresponsiveness very often. Anybody else has this problem? Anybody managed to fix it?
P.S I'm aware of the counterfeit/unoriginal s-view flip covers issue which I'm having as well but the thread isn't about it.
Hope someone has a solution.

Hello, I have been experiencing moments of "freezing" or unresponsiveness as well.
For me, it seemed to be due to chrome or using power saving mode. (People in another forum were blaming their droid maxxs freezing problem on chrome) I disabled chrome and disabled power saving mode.
Then I started using opera. I experienced another moment of unresponsiveness using opera without the power saving mode.
I was thinking back to the first times that it happened and it seemed to be paired to the wifi download and upload symbol being active in upload and download activity.
I know that correlation does not mean causation, but I think it is worth exploring if the network activity is causing it to somehow hang.
This bizzar occurance made me perform a factory wipe leading to another round of issues involving processing err_0000, but that is another story; sadly, it didn't even fix the issue.
OP, are you still experiencing the moments of unresponsiveness? If you are, have you noticed the events that are correlated with the event?
Has anybody else experienced this or found a remedy?
It could be one of the apps from the play store that is not playing nice with kitkat, but due to the multitude of other issues, I'd say it is a kitkat or touchwiz flaw.
Thanks for any help.

I had an issue with screen not responding sometimes .....I figured out it was due to the flip case (original by Samsung). Although lately I haven't experienced that either.
Try using the original non flip case and see if you still have the issue.

I have never had a s-view flip case on mine. I use holster iblason case that has no interaction with the screen.
This only started for me once I upgraded to kitkat.

If your phone isnt hanging up and freezing, that gives me hope. I'll gsm reset, clear the cache and then flash.

I just cleared the cache, factory wiped, and installed the Russian update N900XXUDNC4 and so far, the phone is a lot smoother. No hangups in the browser yet, but time will tell lol.
It is annoying setting up the phone like new lol. I'll update the post as to if I have moments of freezing or the screen becoming unresponsive.

Had this problem too, as well as lots of lag. Reflashed and did a factory reset. Took care of both.

Battery life is looking good. Power Saving off, bluetooth on and connected to my smart watch.
I made one short call. I don't talk on the phone that much. I mostly use it for Internet browsing, music, and instant messaging/texting. I'll update on Tuesday when I have a full day at school.
Keep in mind though that the n9005 is the lte version. I have a n900, the non lte international variant; our battery life may be different.
Edit: 4/20/2014 same charge 70% 1 day 6 hours bluetooth, wifi, gps, and 1 Gmail account in sync.

Even I experienced the same. My phone came with Kitkat installed. Freezing happens when a webpage is loading or the time i turn on Sync etc. strange thing is phone seems smooter when power save mode turned on.
I think it may be a problem that was not fixed until the March 31st 2014 KitKat build. I have been using Chrome heavily since I installed the most recent official rom; I have not experienced any lag or hanging system wide or in the browser. It reminds me of 4.3.
When I wiped and reinstalled the previous rom, I noticed the lag and unresponsiveness right away.
I'm going to use the browser heavily next week. If I have no issues, I think it may be safe to say that the bug was fixed in the latest kitkat with March 31st 2014 build date.
People with lag, do you have the lte variant or the regular SM-N900? I'm starting to think only the SM-N900 are being impacted by sour Sammy updates.
And if you guys wipe your phones, make sure to turn reactivation lock off because it could cause an error that will not recognize your real Sammy account and password. This phone has become stressful; I'm not updating it again lol

I was wondering what people thought of these battery stats. I consider these average for my normal day. I've gotten much better and much worse. Just looking for comparisons. And wondering if anyone had any advice that relates specifically to this phone. Ive done almost everything out there. At least as much as you can do running stock. I have frozen many apps. Disabled almost all non essestial settings. Display is less than 25%. Use app ops. Wake lock detector. Better battery stats. Turned off location on almost everything. The only thing I think hurts me is I have auto sync on many apps, mostly for social media. Mainly I want to know if people who have gone through the ringer trying to squeeze very bit of battery life out of their phones are experiencing similar battery life. I see so many people claiming crazy stats I want to know how they do it.

This is an average day for me of heavy internet browsing and just using my phone really. I am running stock mk2, although i have removed many apps. But i had 15% battery left after that days use.

@ OP.
Those battery stats are average for a normal every day user on stock. Custom ROMS and Kernels if you want super battery tweaking.
So off topic bc I'm a super noob.. I was wondering if you root your phone do you lose the ability to get carrier software updates?

OP, your Android OS is waaaaaaay too high. (try settings/connections/location services/ uncheck "use wireless networks) for a major difference.
He didnt start the post. I did. He was responding to my original question. Thanks.

You can use wanam exposed to fake the system status as official instead of custom. But i prefer to use odin instead.

Hi,
A couple of days ago I updated my S5 to G900FXXU1ANE2 with Kies 3 from my PC.
I've noticed worse battery life, but I guess its too early to judge so I'll give it a week or so and a few more cycles.
However, I have noticed that during ALL games the battery gets ridiculously hot. I've never had this on any previous firmware updates. If its related to the flash/firmware then I am tempted to go back as it never used to get hot and battery life was a couple of days.
I know there will be some stock answers advising me to do a factory reset, but I'd really rather not.
Cheers,
GG
Same here..my screen gets very hot since update

I had strange battery life, too.
"Multimedia" drained my battery and phone became hot!
It seems that there is a scan of every media on SD after update..
Today I have another problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2737673
EDIT: Multimedia started again draining my battery.. I can't believe it..!!!
Noticed my battery life isn't as good after the update either. Not noticed any difference heat wise though.

Kill the bluetooth test process, it causes a damned large amount of wakelocks.... that helped a lot for me.
Also NFC despite being turned off, it was causing some wakelocks for me.

Change to the All tab in the Application Manager and scroll, it should be below bluetooth share and it will have Force Stop enabled.
Got it. The only thing is that it will restart after every reboot because you can't disable it. I switch my phone off at night. Will force stop and see if it improves my battery life though.

Heres to hoping that Samsung release another update to resolve this.
Its a shame coz on the previous firmware the battery life was awesome.

I keep hearing people say that their battery life heavily improved on MM. Mine sucks. And I have a new anker battery so it's not the battery. Battery is terrific on CM13 and decent on one of the 5.1.1 roms. However CM13 has too many bugs and the camera on stock MM seems way better than on the LP rom I was using. Anybody else have this crappy battery on stock MM? What gives?

Alright I've deleted a ton of stuff with Root Explorer. We'll see how it goes. One thing that does happen is I'm constantly getting the refreshing sim message on the stock radio. I use a cricket sim card and if I flash the ANK5 Kitkat modem as someone suggested around here in another post then the message doesn't show up nearly as often or at all. I'm wondering.....is the Kitkat radio just better? Is the LP and MM eating battery when it's displaying that message?
