it would help if you also post android os battery screen.
Anyway try this.. set mobile data to GSM (2G) and reboot phone. It doesn't matter if you use wifi or mobile data, but let me know if setting mobile data to GSM helps with battery drain.

I'm on Verizon so I don't have an option to set to just GSM. (That I have found.)
Also I'm pretty sure that won't help because I seem to have similar battery drain when in Airplane mode. I never did check with WLD when in airplane mode but the drain was still excessive.
Here is a shot of the Android battery stats:

go into the main phone settings, wifi, wifi menu(three dots), advanced, then uncheck scanning always available. this will take care of your battery stats as showing wifi always on, and will help a little on battery.

Radio shows as off+battery frain

So I have been having battery issues on my Note 3 for a while now. Android system has been a large offender of using my battery, but I've also noticed that there are gaps in my mobile network signal. From this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26891039&postcount=14 I'm gathering that my radio is off? This happens when screen is on, but mostly when it's off. During these times I can get texts, and everything works fine. Just my battery starts to drain faster. The area under my camera also gets rather hot. This is my 2nd Note 3 with this issue, the first one was RMAed because it would not get messages on time.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
Running Jasmine ROM 2.4.1.

I believe with your radio off you should drain less battery. Mine does it too, and I have awesome battery life without being rooted. Usually well over 24 hours with heavy use, and 6 hours or more on screen time. I recently did a factory reset so maybe that's what you need for better life?

What drains the battery (phone is not in deep sleep)

Something uses the cpu at 400MHz so many hours.
How do I know what exactly.
I noticed that every phone discussion has a topic about battery saving tips.
Is there a thread with Note 4 tips?
Thanks!!!

I've noticed that the 'indexing service' is the culprit for battery drain on my Note 4. Just got it a few days ago. Any advice how to stop this without having to root?

Terrible battery life?!

Hello.
So the name of the thread sums it all up: I get TERRIBLE battery life, barely two hours of screen on time. Why?
I am using the latest build of XOSP which many have said is the best for battery life, some getting 6 hours of screen on time. It dosen't last a day, 2 hours of screen on time is the max I can bet out of it even with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned off which I find very strange.

I even use Greenify and have hibernated basically all apps and I just can't understand to what I owe this drainage.
I am thinking of installing Boeffla, if so could you guys give me some cool Kernel settings below?
Cheers
You'll get your best battery on WiFi. You need to look at your signal strength and you will see if your phones getting weak signal it will chew through battery. Also boeffla on it's own is more performance. If you want battery change governor or try bluspark. Nothing really wrong with your stats other then mobile standby. Which I only get when I'm in bad coverage are for long periods of time.
Did u wipe cache and dalvik cache after flashing something?
Please do so if u didn't.
Also need the new rom to charge a few cycles before full potential on battery life.

So I have noticed that my battery has been struggling lately. I installed GSAM battery monitor and I was surprised at the results. I have the fist 2 screen shots were the drain overnight without use and the second after use throughout the day. Android system is by far the highest by % user of the battery. Interested if you have any suggestions or others have had this problem.

Diagmonagent is doing something horrible and stupid on your phone. It shouldn't be running much less taking up your entire battery! The easiest answer is to factory reset, but you can try disabling Diagmonagent with a package disabler and see if that helps.
