Problem battery note 3 - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys I have a problem for the battery of my notes 3. when loading the phone off me arriving at 100% then when I go to turn down towards 95% as ever ?? I also bought a new battery and always makes the same joke then I consume a lot. For example when I go to school not using it almost never goes down by 40%.
I have to bring in warranty you think?

Do a factory reset to rule out software problem?

Some further information would be great.
1. How old is your phone?
2. Customrom or stock? IceCreamSandwich, JellyBean, Kitkat or Lollipop? If customrom is it stockbased or cm/omni etc.
3. Did you charged your phone always using trustworthy chargers?
4. Do you use original spare parts?
5. Did you try to calibrate your battery? (never had a prob. with battery calibration, but you never know..)
6. Do you have a batterylog? Maybe there's a battery draining app.
Software related problems can be solved doing a factory reset or, if this doesn´t work, try to update to latest available android version.

boys then the phone has just 7 months old and I have always used products samsung original. use as OS 4.4.2 kitkat officer and I have done
several times factory reset etc but I always have the same problem.
as calibrations battery not having root permissions I never made.

do you have mp3 files on your Sdcard?i had a battery drain once because of an audio mix service.the cause was bad mp3 files.if so take a backup of them,delete the ones on your phone,see if the prob is gone or not.

I am willing to help but honestly i cant understand your english. can you show us the battery usage?

Just to clarify it,
you charge your phone untill it reaches 100%.
Then you plug it off and it instantly drops down to 95%
You did a factory reset and the issue persists
If this is correct it seems to be an issue with the charging controller. If you never modified your hardware/software (tripping knox or whatever) sent it to service.

Don't quiet understand what your saying?
You having issues with your battery draining quickly?
If so download Battery Doctor and it will display apps using your battery.
Try turning off bluetooth, wifi, any connection apps and see if that helps.
Your need to narrow the issue down.

Updated from 2.2 to 2.2.1 now have Battery Issues :(

Hi all,
Basically a few days ago I updated the firmware via Kies from 2.2 to 2.2.1 on my Galaxy S. However, I instantly noticed a huge decrease in battery life - 50% gone overnight when in standby! So I factory reset the phone and had everything disabled - the phone only lost 10% in 24 hours. So I decided to try and eliminate the possible causes so first I turned on wifi and within 2 hours I have lost almost 30% of the battery life with no usage so wifi seems to be the culprit
In the wifi menu network notification is off, however, the device seems to be scanning for networks every 5-10 seconds even when connected! I had no problems like this on 2.2 where I could comfortably get 2 days usage with wifi on. Also as I would prefer wifi to be on constantly when connected I would prefer not to change the wifi sleep policy. Any suggestions would be much appreciated
Many thanks, and sorry if there's similar thread already
which version of 2.2 did you have before?
try a flash back and see what happens.
Or try to drain battery (do not charge till 1% or almost dead) then full charge it.
Always happen to me when I flash my phone to a new ROM.
Thanks for the replies. I've tried leaving the battery till it was almost drained but maybe I'll let it go completely flat and charge it see if that makes a difference?
Also trying juice defender from the market to see if that helps. Not sure if it is a problem with the firmware though been looking around and a few people seem to have had the problem with no real solution
Might have to go back to 2.2 but would prefer not to as I've noticed a big decrease in lag on 2.2.1. Also can't remember what version of 2.2 I had I'll see how the battery life goes over the next few days after trying a couple of drain/charging cycles hopefully won't have to downgrade it. Come on 2.3.2
Thanks for the replies so far
Battery Bug is Major issue with all the versions of 2.2.1, Battery life is very bad. Even the Browser is worst in 2.2.1. May be in 2.3 it will get fixed.
I have tested all the new releases of 2.2.1. I found its smooth and fast.

Very very bad idea to let the battery go completly flat, it's the best way to damage it and even lose 20% of his initial capacity. Never go under 10%.
To calibrate it properly, wait 10% turn off the phone, fully charge it, restart. (do it again 3 times).

The battery is calibrated to do this already, the charging circuit will not allow power to the device unless there is a certain amount of charge in the battery. It's there to protect the battery from this exact eventuality.

[Q] Galaxy S4 - GT-i9505 Trouble

Hi,
I bought a Galaxy S4 - GT9505 and before a few months ago. After updated to Android 4.3 (official firmware) I have been facing a lot of problems, such as battery drain and the main problem is when I have wifi or mobile data turned on, and when battery is at 60-65%, for instance, my device shutsdown randmoly. And then I try to reboot but it goes to samsung logo and then reboot again and so on. My only option is to connect to the power or usb and then I can reboot. When I do this It starts charging in 60-65% so it recognizes the real battery status.
So, could you please help me with this issue?
Thank you in advance.

I also have this problem. But in my opinion - if you have custom ROM with custom kernel (read below):
#Your phone reboots (before reboot on the screen you can see 4 lines, glitching...)... - It occurs If I set CPU to maximum speed (2.3ghz). So if I use 2.16ghz speed - it occurs rarely...
#You say that your phone sometimes boots twice - I just ignore it and pull batery out/in and that's it... You don't reboot your phone so often...
# Battery drains fast? Check settings, there is "battery usage" and shows which program uses battery most.
!!! Always use "Battery saving mode" on galaxy S4 - it does....NOTHING except saves battery, and very well. I haven't noticed any performance reduction...
#Not sure, but do you have battery isues? If yes, go to recovery menu (yep, shut down first) and wipe cache ETC... I read in forums somewhere that if you want to calibrate battery, just charge it fully, than pull out the battery, WAIT about 5 minnutes and put it back... Not sure about this method, check google
How old is the s4, did you buy it brand new or secondhand? If its secondhand hand to you It sounds like your battery is coming to the end of its use able life.

Hi,
My S4 is brand-new. I bought it on August. Do you think I should replace the battery, even if it only happen after the upgrade?
Thank you.

Not sure, but I read somewhere (sorry for my inaccurate talks) in forums, that different modem helps to save battery... Mabye you need to search something like that?

Taking my device to service center tomorrow IST.

I've been having strange fluctuations in the battery which I noticed and I was assuming it was some of wake locks or alarms causing this drain.
I also noticed the battery getting heated during charging.
The weirdest issue I faced is that every first boot after full barge reduces to -10%later reboots meet them intact I noticed this on stock rom and custom rom also, Also while charging I saw that from 93%to 100 %jump was just in few min which is totally ubnormal.
Tough my fast charging was turned off.
Hopefully it's just a battery issue I can't live without this device after giving it for service.
Is anybody else having these issue ??
I think its a software issue did you try doing a factory reset ? Disable all the useless apps? Remove the battery once in awhile? Jumps from 93-94%to 100 is not uncommon

I guess this has been fixed by resetting the battery gauge after full charge to 100% I had to pull the battery wait for about 3mins and put it back after this reset procedure looks like the last 2 charge cycles dint have those random drops after reboots, but I've the battery drains I need to figure out what problem is I get a maz of 4hsot.

@Pratik Thanks your suggestion, I already Did this, Flashed Stock was on Stock for some time approx1day could not bear it flashed our Rom all is good so far needs a bit or battery tweaking.my app usage always is 60%> so it may take a while for me to understand on how this can be fixed.

Massive battery drain even when phone is off.

I recently did a factory reset on my galaxy s4, and when the screen is off it loses about 10+% an hour. It shouldn't be losing more than a tenth of that idle, at most. Using GSam battery monitor app, the vast majority of the battery is being consumed by Kernel(Android OS) and Android System. What can I do to stop this, please? Thanks for any help.

This wasn't happening before I formatted my phone, which leads me to believe it's a software problem.
Try to use one of those battery stats resetting apps

If the battery was good and suddenly began doing this, I would try to reflash stock. If you are already on stock, still reflash stock from a PC and see if it is improved. But battery drain while the phone is off usually isn't a software problem and is usually an indicator of hardware failure, typically the battery itself. You can try cleaning the pins on the phone where the battery connects. Also, try to lay the battery on a (near) perfect, flat surface and see if it is beginning to inflate even the slightest bit.

The thing is it says battery usage is 80% app usage, which is mostly android system and kernel OS, while phone is off.
How do I reflash stock from a PC? Is it the same as doing a Factory data reset on the phone?
Thanks again

Battery Drain when off

Has anyone any ideas, if I turn my x727 off the battery will drain to zero in a few hours. If I just set to airplane mode battery is good for three or four days. Accubattery shows battery in low nineties for remaining capacity. Currently using AICP pie ROM but also did this on lineage and AEX ROMs. I don't even know what to check as phone is off. Any help appreciated.

Only thing I can think of in order to discard some things are:
When did you notice this? after some modding? Have you flashed the recomended firmware for your device from the first post of AICP thread?
Then just for test:
While the device is off, connect the charger to see if the charging screen appears.
Then power on and once in AICP reboot to TWRP and from there just power off with TWRP menu, wait few hours, power on and see if there were battery drain while off.
Regards.
Thanks, it has done it for about one year, kind of thought about powering down from twrp. Have just been hitting airplane mode instead of powering down all this time. Firmware is correct. I thought something must be hanging. Appreciate the insight.
Just tried the shutdown from twrp. Battery went from 45 to 16 in one hour of shutdown. I am befuddled.
hello i have the same problem. i bought Lex722 as used one
i installed fresh Lineage OS.
when phone is off it drains in about 1-2 days down.
So i replaced the Battery with a new Battery. But... it get also down.. to i think its an hardware problem
one more thing: i charged from 0-90% . the Battery gets really hot. (Original charger). so maybe something with charging unit in the phone not ok
I have an X722 and I have a similar problem, after changing the display I have some problems like the one you mentioned, battery drain in stand by and my smartphone charging above 80% it shuts down and starts draining the battery, has anyone tried Qfil to try to solve this problem? or is it a hardware thing?
sorry if my English looks bad I'm using a translator

I think I had something hanging and the phone not really shutting itself off completely. Did a wipe when doing an update and it fixed itself.
I have similar problem too, have X722, started somewhere in summer, spring where basically discharged by 10-20% daily when not using..
I always update to latest AICP. Just replaced battery today and still seems there is a small drain, charged to 100% for the first time, 2 minutes of usage and already down by 3%.
This may or may not help. You need to track down all the hogs. These were two that caused me endless issues. I tried disabling backup by switching it off and this and that... until going full rambo on Google.
Google Backup Transport and Backup Framework wuv to run amuck even with screen off.
I finally package block them and firewall blocked them. Clearing their data, as well as Goggle Play Services* and system/residual data caches if they act up.
Now it's stopped.
>1%@hr battery drain with AOD always on.
AT&T Note 10+ Pie

Can I successfully disable them by just disabling their services in MyAndroidTools? (just checked and i already had them disabled)
I also have Magisk module - Universal GMS Doze.

Yeah but portions* will still run in the background just like the malware it is.
Hence the firewall and the frequent data deletes.
Maybe 10 or 11 is better behaved but it doesn't seem that way from what I'm reading... they look worse than Pie. With unrooted phones they even block more user diagnostic tools than Pie, perfect. Pretty sure my 10+ will run on Pie for its whole service life because Google dropped the ball.
Fortunately Pie is a good OS... add to that AT&T and their partner Samsung are notorious for device killing near update end cycle firmware.
Not updating is simply an act of device self preservation.
*hopefully you can pull these weeds out better than I can on an unrooted device.
Each user/device is different though, good luck
