[Q] "Phone" app battery drain - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Battery drain due to "Phone" app in battery status.
It's draining battery. Some times it takes more than 50% of battery, but becomes normal after reboot.
Attaching the screenshot. I've done nothing, just unplugged from charging.
How to solve?

I'm using stock KK, with Lean Kernel.
Even on full stock rom and kernel. This problem was there.
Anyone help?

No one?

Screenshot looks normal to me phone used 15% of 4%
Suggest you get a battery calibration app from play store and reset your battery stats as it might clear any errors .

I've done that, But it comes up mostly when I receive or make a call. After that unless I restart the phone, Phone.apk keeps on draining battery.
Do you have Phone.apk for note 3? I've ready somewhere that If you replace the default apk file, it solves the problem.
Thanks

[Q] Battery indicator wrong

I've had my phone for 20 months now and apart from the odd freeze it's been fine. When I first got it I installed an app/cab that shows how much battery is left in percentage. For the last couple of months this hasn't been working properly. For example it might show there is 20% of the battery left so I put it on charge. When I unplug it, it is still showing 20% so I need to restart the phone and then it shows the correct level. Yesterday it was showing 42% so I put it on charge this morning as I need it full for today. When I unplugged it, again it was still showing 42%. So I restarted it and it then showed 22% (was only on charge about 40 minutes). So obviously the battery was close to 0% rather than 42% when I put it on charge. This doesn't happen all the time, maybe once a week.
Do I just need to uninstall/reinstall the app, is there a better one I could use or could it be a battery issue? The phone is still on 6.5 but I might try a custom ROM now it's out of warranty.
Well, its quite a common problem now really...Firstly, you might want to recalibrate your battery. Read through this link and install the app: (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/windows-m...e-battery-discharger-better-battery-life.html)
If your battery percentage is still not displaying values correctly even after following the instructions and using the app, you have to try other methods.
Try downloading another battery percentage app (http://gadgetmix.com/windows-mobile...-monitor-show-battery-percent-windows-mobile/) or (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584772). Before you install the app, you should uninstall your current cab and observe the default battery indicator icon. If that does not correlate with your actual battery life, then ditch installing other percentage indicator apps and proceed to the steps below. If the default indicator is working well, then its your application thats causing the problem. In this case, reinstall the cab or install a different percentage indicator app. You can also skip the below steps(but you should really give custom ROM flashing a try. It will lead to many extremely good wonders like Android and WP7)
If the above does not work, it is recommended that you flash a custom ROM that is compatible with your phone.Also ensure you flash the right HSPL and radio. Most custom(and the popular/good) ROMS have a battery percentage indicator cooked in. If the ROM you flashed doesnt have the indicator,install the battery indicator app and see if your issue is fixed. Again, monitor the default battery indicator first before moving
If everything has failed and both your battery percentage indicator and default indicator is not displaying the correct values, the problem should most likely be in the battery. Get a new battery and see if that fixes the problem. Hope this helps. Gd luck!

root and battery drain

My battery status acts weird.
When I root a rom the status and the battery drains in one hour...
If I flash a samsung firmware the battery drains normally... Even with overcome kernel and stock rom the battery stays at normal drain. When I root the tab the battery flips out. anyone can help?
Try to use "BatteryCalibration" from Market. But first you have to root you device.
Thanks for your try, but I´ve made ´t often...
I allways callibrate my battery and my device is allways with rooted roms...
I don´t know what is happening but I think I ve a hardware problem...
hm...read this some time back when I had problem with my battery life...
basically is to open up the tab, unplug the battery cable, wait for 5 mins, re-plug in and "ta-da"...my tab battery life is fixed. credits to henrylam...

[GUIDE] Know more about battery life on your LG G3 by having accurate readings!

Hi just sharing some experience with my battery life as it lasted me more than half a day and I'm quite glad with the results. So let me share what i did...
*Rooted my phone
*Did a nandroid backup (in case battery readings are way off)
*Installed xposed
*Downloaded Boot Manager from xposed.
*Disabled unwanted startup apps such as facebook, etc.
*Downloaded Titanium backup and disabled some bloatwares like McAfee, Email, etc.
*Downloaded Battery calibration from playstore by NeMA.
*Charged my phone to 100% and did the calibration.
*i let the phone discharge and charge it up to 100% without opening the phone.
FAQ:
1. So what does battery calibration do exactly? - Root is required. It deletes your batterystats.bin and replaces it with a fresh one. This is usually used after flashing a custom rom. I tried my luck on stock and seen the difference.
2. Do i get a bootloop if i deleted batterystats.bin? - chance is 0%. You can actually manually delete it using your root explorer then reboot. Now after reboot, you can see that a new batterystats.bin is there.
3. Does battery calibration support all android device? - probably yes.
4. Does it improve battery life? - NO. it actually gives you an accurate reading of your battery. If your battery starts to drain faster than it should, go get a new battery.
And here i got almost 16 hours of battery as i wasn't able to last a day before without 2nd charge. I was at 4G with auto mode, played clash of clans, brightness set to 50 with auto brightness on, some music for 4 hours straight, and a lil bit of Youtube. Btw I'm using stock rom 4.4.2 and so far this is the best battery experience for me. Try it and I hope this also works for most of you.
Deleting batterystats.bin does nothing you describe.
All apps concerning this matter ("calibrating") are completely useless and bogus :good:
Kinda useless on our self-calibrating charging chip... Besides, batterystats does not influence displayed percent, if we are not talking about samsung phone on 2.3 rom...

I've got an LG G3 D855 that shuts down at about 30% every time. When it shuts down it says 0%. Ive just replaced the battery (twice) after getting stuck in the endless loop restart. Could this be a problem with the batterystats.bin file? Truly stumped here and would really appreciate some help.
Thanks, D.

100% bat to 88%

Just a question if you guys encounter this. Im using audax v13..stock kernel.
When i charge my phone to 100 then pull out the cable then the battery all of a sudden reads 88%.
So weird. Is there a fix for this? I didnt observe the phone cause it was just given to me and i root and installed audax asap.
Download battery calibration (root) from the play store.
If your phone is fully charged open battery calibration (root) and calibrate, this way the app will delete all old battery stats and make a new file.
I had the same problem but now it's fixed.

Battery or system problem

I have problem with battery or system. When the battery is 100% charged, I wait a few minutes, then disconnect the power supply. I leave the phone, I don't use it. After a few minutes or longer, a few percent of the battery drops. After restarting the phone, thinking that some processes drain the battery, the battery indicator shows 100%. For example, before rebooting the battery indicator shows 93%. After restart, the battery indicator shows 100%. Battery percentages decrease faster before restarting. After a restart, a little slower. I don't know if it's the battery or the system's fault. I am currently using LineageOS 16. I don't have applications that could wake up the smartphone. I also use Greenify + Xposed.
The first 10-15% of battery drain much faster than the rest for me as well. Probably a calibration thing or maybe battery's bugging out., dunno. But I'm pretty sure it's not a system problem as my phone's working perfectly fine otherwise.

I bought new extended battery. Problem is gone. I have 6-9H SOT.
Most phones will lie about the battery percentage from 90%-100% due to how batteries are optimized.
