Hi everyone
I have an international version of Note 3. The problem I'm facing is, after rooting my phone and installing Lidroid Custom ROM, the battery on my phone started draining badly. To get rid of the problem I reinstalled Stock ROM on it and also unrooted the phone. But the problem is still there.
Even without using the phone, the percentage drainage is about 1% every 10-15mns. Have removed all third party application from the phone, but to no avail.
Can something be done about this? I'm at wits end and need a solution badly. Please respond ASAP.
Thanks in advance.

Get wakelock detector from Google play see if it's a app draining the battery
Get into recovery mode and clean your cache, whatever bad bug went on with the custom ROM flash is still there. Once you clear it you should be OK.
Hi Guys,
I flashed the latest 5.0.1 Lollipop firmware (N910FXXU1BOC3) last week to my N910F Note 4.
Everything has been working okay. Until yesterday where the phone is constantly awake.
I have uninstalled all 3rd party apps and booted into safe mode yet it still shows as constantly awake in the power saving settings section.
I have tried using airplane mode, removing the battery for 10 minutes . Restarting multiple times to no avail......
Does Anyone have any suggestions?

Reflash the firmware again and do a full set up as if it was a brand new device.

I shall try that when I get home. I restored my phone from a backup after I originally flashed 5.0.1.
This time I shall keep it as a fresh firmware flash.

hi ,
your above post reminds me of my experience recently,with........BOC3
i upgraded from Android v 4.4.4 to BOB4 lollipop ( dirty flash ,no wipe, no factory reset ,
no problems at all .My device was running smooth ,no errors etc. battery ok .)
Flashed fom BOB4 to BOC3, i resetted my device etc .root recovery etc .
for a while everything was running fine,after a few days ,i started to have a bad wakelock .
Device was awake most of the time .
Lucky i was able to id/pinpoint culprit with" BetterBatteryStats " and Gsam battery monitor .
It was a system process something with....... Samsung security Filezip log..?
As i had an old app on hand "DisableService"( root ) and traced the process and unticked 3 relevant processes ( lucky guess ? ) and my wakelock is solved .Battery usage much better etc
BOC3 is just as good and stable as my previous v4.4.4 and BOB4...!!
So sometimes dirty flash works ok and sometimes flashing,then an factory reset..etc etc does not help.!
good luck

Have this issue myself with a N910F on 5.0.1 BOC3 (N910FXXU1BOC3 - CSC TDP). Without much Screen on time i get about 50% battery usage after 9h (usually when I get home from the office). It's not bad, but I would still wonder what the battery life would be like if I did not have the device constantly awake.
I would not want to root the device in order to avoid tripping the KNOX counter.
Is there any way to find and remove the wakelock culprit without rooting the device ?
I updated to 5.0.1 BOC3 from 4.4.4 ANK4 from Odin, wiping the device before and after.
Any ideas on how to proceed without tripping KNOX ?
I had the same problem and I fixed it when I disabled google backup from settings...
Maybe you could try this!

Thanks for the reply, but wanted to know what are you reffering to as google backup. Are you talking about the google sync for contacts, gmail, calendar, drive etc ?
Because on the device i have 2 google accounts that have gmail sync and another google account with gmail, contacts, drive and calendar.
I have disabled google+ photo backup.

There is a menu backup inside settings. Where it syncs wifi passwords etc with Google... I do not know how it is called in English because I use it with Greek names... But I think you can find it easily..

Seems that the wakelock issue is a thing of luck.
I have disabled some more sync options and additional stuff like Multi Window and On-Body Detection SmartLock but i had the same issue with the phone being constantly awake.
Every time i disabled a new feature, did a phone restart. What i noticed is that sometimes after the restart, the wakelock problem goes away, sometime the phone is still constantly awake. So from my point of view, without rooting the Note 4, i can say it's pure luck after a phone restart.
I'm loving that now i see 23% battery consumption after 12h with an estimated of 2 Days left - without power saver. It sure beats the 50% consumption after 8h with 8h left. But i still have to admin, with a constant wakelock on the device, the resolution of the screen, the battery life is .. WOW

Signing out of Google in the settings page then rebooting and signing back in stops the device being always awake. However, it seems Google Services is very buggy and for me the wake happens again after a few days randomly.
Happens with 5.1.1 too. Not rooted
[PARTLY FIXED] Galaxy S4 I9515 (5.0.1 Lollipop) Battery Drain due to "Android System"
Hi Guys,
I had my second handed S4 since 8 November and I noticed battery draining from the beginning. It's only draining while using the phone, when it's in idle it doesn't drain the battery. Also I found out that "Android System" took about 20%-25% of the battery (about 10% more then the screen, see the screenshot).
Things I already tried:
- Wipe cache partition; made my whole device crash (all apps Force Closed).
- Due to that I had to do a full factory reset; also didn't change anything, still draining
- Yesterday I flashed CM12.1 on my device which was a huge dissaster because the screen didn't respond to anything. So I had to flash Samsung there Firmware on it and I chose 4.4.2.
- 4.4.2 was defenitly better with the battery and there was not Android System eating up my battery. But the WiFi button stayed greyed out so I coudn't use that as my daily driver aswell.
- Now I'm back at 5.0.1 and the battery drain is still there even after flashing another firmware on it using Odin.
I already ordered a new battery to see if that may fix it. There is a chance the battery is false because i can spin it around on a table and it charges even quicker then is drains. Searched the internet for days and tried everything i could find without succes so far. Hope anyone can become my best friend and let me enjoy my S4 again the way it should be.
Thank you in advance,
Can't send my screenshot because I'm a new user, will send it when able to!
UPDATE: A new battery doesn't fix anything aswell.
PARTLY FIXED: I've installed Polish Lollipop software on it, reduces the battery drain altough it's not as good as in KitKat!
I have the same problem with 9515 as Android System drains the battery so fast even while the phone is IDLE. Can you share the exact solution? Polish Lollipop? Where can I obtain it safely? Sammobile? Does it require root?
My rom's CSC is UAE (United Arab Emirates) as I beleive.
Hello i've been using G900F for 2 years. I've nearly find every solution for my issues. But there is an issue which drives me crazy: Mediaserver battery drain.
Sometimes (few times in a week) my battery is empty just in an hour. The main cause is "Mediaserver". I tried some solutions on xda but it keeps draining my battery.
If you have a solution please help me.
Thanks in advance.

Do you still have kit kat?? Asking you because this is the kit kats (4.0.x) principal issue that have never been solved. Partley even for lollypop (5.0.x) and solved for M.M. (6.0.1). Instal last 6.0.1 firmware and don't have problems any more with mediaserver.

Yes I'm using KitKat because i like that version of android. 6.0.x's asking for permissions is very bad option i don't like it. I don't update to 5.0.x or 6.0x because there is no option for rooting with keeping knox 0x0.

Ok..try this if staying on 4.0.x: go in settings and then in applications. Find (don't remember well ...I'm on 6.0.1) mediaserver, Archive, media archive external archive, gallary, your music app and enter in all of thees ones doing a wipe cache and wipe data. Shut down your phone and before opening again, go in recovery and make a wipe cache. Reboot and wait 5 minutes defore doing anything so media server remakes your entire multimedia archive. Should be solved for a while until the next data corruption will be present again.
Community of xda I need your help in the following:
I recently made a change and received a g4 plus motorcycle, originally had the patch on November 1 or September, one of those two
I have downloaded the complete firmware that included the patch NPJS25.93-14-15
1. I have the bootloader unlocked
2. I have ElementalX + root + xposed + greenify to hibernate my applications
Where does my post come from? simply that I am noticing that my battery is draining until when I have the screen off since I use whatsapp web
What do you recommend me to do?
Is there a profile for elementax that solves the problem ???
Absolutely no battery drain here with NPJS25.93-14-15 and ElementalX kernel. Must be on of your third party apps.

My Moto G4, keeps restarting very often after installing this latest patch.
Can someone help me to get this resolved (or) how can i remove this patch?
This just keeps me frustrating as every now and then, even when i'm on a call with someone (or) whatever i keep doing with my phone - it restarts
Thanks
