Hi!
I'm facing an issue with my Note 4 N910C. I upgraded to Lollipop a few days ago. Malaysia. And since then experienced very fast battery discharge.
I also realized my dataplan is almost completed, so I checked my usage via My Data Manager. I was surprised that Knox was consuming the most data. Almost 800MB!
Any advice to shut it down or turn it off?
I can't even find the app?!
Thanks!

Hi Guys,
I upgraded my Exynos Note 3 to Kitkat about 1 month ago, and everything was fine till about 3 days ago when I started experiencing some really bad battery drain. For the last three nights, my phone does not go into deep sleep mode at all. I first noticed this because I usually switch off data and wifi at night. Normally, I'd loose 3% battery overnight, which is good. About two nights ago, I woke up in the morning and I had lost 40% battery (90% down to 50%) overnight! When I checked out the battery stats, "gpsd" had used 80% of the battery.
Since we no longer have batterystats access in Kitkat, I installed the desktop version of WakeLock Detector, enabled USB debugging mode and connected my phone. Phone had basically been awake 97% of the time. Under kernel wakelocks, "l2_hsic" was shown as being the culprit. Now I have searched through various forums online (including xda) to try and find a solution to this. Suggestions vary from home screen replacements (nova launcher) to mobile tracking software (cerberus/findmymobile etc) to generally anything that uses location services. Some even suggest clearing application caches, disabling location services etc. I have tried every suggestion with no change. I uninstalled all mobile tracking apps, turned off location reporting, location history, and eventually location services. I've removed all battery stats apps. I uninstalled all my apps and re-installed them one by one, all with no change. Finally, I backed up my phone and did a factory reset. That seemed to work at first, but after about 3 minutes, "gpsd" was back again, and my phone would not go into deep sleep.
I've done 3 factory resets, and with no google account or samsung account configured, I still get "gpsd" rearing it's ugly head, preventing the phone from going to deep sleep and draining my battery. I'm at wits end.
Anyone know how to fix this? Would appreciate any help!
Anyone!?
OK, so I decided to take out my SIM card, just to see it'd make a difference, and what do you know! "gpsd" no longer takes up CPU time! So this is somehow related to my SIM card? Funny though, coz I'd even tried putting the phone in Airplane mode, but "gpsd" was still taking up CPU time. Does that give anyone an idea as to how this can be fixed?

I'm having exact same issue with my exynos Galaxy S5, shame Samsung.
For the record, my issue fixed itself. Didn't do anything at all. It just went away and never recurred. I'm on the Russian lollipop ROM now, loving it!
Almost a year after the issue fixed "itself"... I have the same problem with my SM-N900 running offical lollipop, Im afraid I cannot wait a year to let the issue fixes itself... and cannot find a solution either.
Anyone that have managed to solve this?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!
Hello all,
Ever since upgrading from android 4.3 to 4.4.2, my battery life on s4 has been significantly draining a lot. I have read threads on the internet about this similar issue but I am asking the experts here to give possible workarounds if there are any. I have turned off all the possible battery draining settings (including bluetooth, NFC, Motion gestures, air view, and all those fancy stuff from Samsung) and use the only things I need (such as WiFi, Mobile Data, Auto Brightness). I occasionally turn on "Sync" to check emails but leave it off most of the time. I have root btw, if that helps. I am posting my battery stat of a typical day of my phone disconnecting from the charger at 8 a.m. and surviving without a single charge to 10 p.m. Sometimes it will run out of juice even before 10, but I can deal with it. I just want to know what is causing this such battery drain on my phone when it was perfectly fine before the upgrade. Some people said that its the OS problem which Google is working on to improve, like android 4.4.4, and if anyone knows when that upgrade will be released to GS4 Verizon variant, that would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Disable the apps that you dont use. Like PlayBooks and stuff...might help if you dont want to try custom roms.
Plus did you wipe data after your upgrade? It is a must (kind of)
Press Thanks if I helped

I want to share my experience which is causing me trouble now.
I have a Note 4 SM-N910C which had an issue after updating to 5.1.1 lollipop. For about 2 days after updating, a strange thing happened to my phone. The whole phone gets hot. The screen, the sides, the back, you can feel that it is hot. At first, i thought of turning it off to cool down the device. To my surprise, the device is still hot even if it was turned off. So I removed the battery. Turned it back after 30 mins or so and restarted the device. But this time it won't turn on. I charged it and the battery was still at 25%. Then it turned on, the device slowly heats up. I then fully charged it and see if what is going wrong. But i cant think of anything i did for this to happen except disabling some apps in the application manager since there is still no root for 5.1.1 that time. Still the problem persisted for a day and my device dont last for more than 3 hours from full charge until it drains.
Then i decided to downgrade to 5.0.1 lollipop. But still the problem remained. I decided to show it to a technician, told about the problem and he said, there a lot of note 4's brought to them with the same problem. He said it is a common problem of note 4. What causes the issue he said was that the Power IC id damaged. And it is hard to repair. The solution is either to change the board of the device or change to a new one if under warranty. Since I tripped my knox, there will be no other way except to change the board which cost 75% of the price of the device or I will dispose the device.
If there are other solutions, i would be thankful for it will help me keep my device. I dont have the money to secure a new one.
What could have caused this problem? Thanks for any solution i could try..

Heating and Battery Drainnig Fast
I am having Battery Draining and heating up issue since i updated my device to 5.1.1
Even it does not charge that fast. It takes more than 3 hours to charge and then start draining super fast.
In next 4/5 hours battery comes down to 30 %.
This is a brand new mobile and it was working perfect before updating to 5.1.1
Please help how can i resolve this issue.
I received and installed the 5.1.1. update to my Canadian Note 4 last week. Immediately I noticed the battery was draining faster and clearing the cache did nothing so I bit the bullet and did a factory reset. That has not fixed the battery problem.
My Bluetooth seems to be the main culprit as it drains the battery constantly even when not connected to a Bluetooth device. I use it to connect to my vehicle so I do not want to have to turn it off and on manually.
This was never a problem on my S3 running 4.0 to 4.2 or my Note 4 from 4.4 to 5.0.1. Bluetooth never drained the battery on those OS's and I do not want to be told to manually turn it off when I don't need it. I'm hoping someone has or had a similar issue and knows how to fix it.
This is a stock unrooted Canadian Note 4
Thanks.
Anyhoo, after some arduous googling, I found that the Gasbuddy app has been giving some people the same bluetooth wakelock issues I've been having. I uninstalled Gasbuddy a couple of hours ago and the problem is gone.

Hello everyone,
I have a Galaxy S5 SM-G901F for about half a year now, and i bought it second hand. The battery didn't pose an issue in the beginning, even on Lollipop, and since then I have upgraded the operating system to Marshmallow.
During the past month I observed the battery is draining much faster than it used to in the past. I assumed it could have been because a rogue app or something, but it doesn't seem like it. When I have the phone on stand-by, the battery is relatively okay. When I start to use various intensive apps, the battery goes down at lightspeed (as you can see in the attached pics). I thought Facebook and Messenger were responsible for the battery drain, but I have uninstalled them, with the same results.
The phone tends to lose 1% per hour over night, with the internet connection on. I have a stock Marshmallow ROM and I have rooted the device. Also, I have freshly installed the ROM about one week ago, to no avail. The battery is the original one, as well.
Is it the time to replace the battery?
