Hi, I need some help.
I have new Note 3 N9005, from Australia, it was on 4.3, and than I upgrade to 4.4.2 OTA, after that via ODIN Ive install lollipop, everything is gret with the phone it runs very smoothly and fast, but my battery life is ****.
When I charge it to 100% it drops to 80% for about 10 min, maybe less, then from 80 to 20 it last about a day and than from 20 to 1 for about 10 min.
Welcome to 5.0 lol.
Battery drain is common... you need to wait 3-4 cycles for it to improve a little, but it drains faster than 4.4.
5.1 will help fix some issues (suppose to include battery drain)... but can disable some bloatware that drains things... and install greenify to help kill things that aren't in use either.
Of course having root will give you better power to tweak things - but overall V5.0 is power hungry.
Good luck!

I have very bad battery life since 4.2.2. Trying to understand why that happens. I had around 3.5-4 hours SOT in 13-14 hours total usage which is very fine for me. I don't have very good reception, I know this drains battery but I'm living in same place so reception is still the same. Tried most of the roms and kernels. Flashed everything to stock 4.2.2 manually too but now the most battery life I can see is 2-2.5 hours SOT in 7-8 hours total. This is terrible compared to people at forums. Especially my screen started to eat battery too much, consumes %10 of battery in 25 mins. Even if I don't run nothing, don't use cpu, just kept cpu at 384mhz and screen on to test. I don't know much about these things but started to think 4.2.2 radio may have problem with me. Is that possible? Or what should I do? I will be really appreciate with your comments.
No. It's fine. Update the baseband if you choose to.
I don't know if I'm the only one who's noticing this but I just came off 4.3 TouchWiz onto SlimKat 4.4.2 (Build 5) and I'm noticing battery drain like crazy on my mobile. I thought it was bad on my previous stock ROM after the horrendous 4.3 update Samsung provided but this is worse. I used to get around 9-10 hours of battery life which has been reduced to around 6-7 hours now (I know it's not a HUGE difference but I'm not a fan of charging my phone twice a day). Overnight (despite leaving it on flight mode) the battery of my phone drops by 8 odd % in around 6-7 hours. Does anyone know the cause of this and can someone please help me?
Thanks

1. Switch off Google now.
2. Root.
3. Install Greenify + Donation Pack.
4. Greenify the intended apps.
5. Switch off Location.
6. Turn off animations.
7. Turn down the brightness.
8. Turn on the dark slim mode.
9. Switch to 2g.
With the above, I get 1+ day of battery on my i9300.
Read in other forums of other ROMs with 4.4.2 that battery drains with this KitKat version
Using omni ROM 4.4.2 battery drains on this too. Could it be Version specific problem ?
I will try install many roms and in all the battery life is bad.
CloudyG2 3.3 and 2.2 and more...
What can I do? I have LG G2 two years.

Remove all apps you don't need. Install wakelock detector to see what is consuming battery on your device Then disable them using greenify or servicely . You can also run this script http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/guide-reducing-google-play-services-t3139032 .
Remove extra bloatware , avoid using wifi , reduce screen brightness .. or go back to kitkat.
I would rather suggest to change your battery dude, 2 years for a mobile battery is more than enough.
Only apps was installed on my device is WhatsApp, facebook, Instagram and Greenify.
Yesterday I downgrade to KitKat and the battery very bad (Cloudy 2.2)
Same problem here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/help/lg-g2-d802-battery-draining-5-0-2-t3256313/
I also got bad battery life with all LG lollipop rom and stock kitkat , but I get terrific battery life with cloudy g2 2.2. Like 6.5 hours of SOT. Just make sure you clean flash and reduce background app by clearing recent apps.
Are there any apps that show the battery Wear level

6.5 hours?!?! Are you sure?
1.5 to 2 hours of SOT is the most I can get out of my two-week-old G2.
I bought is from a "mobile shop" on aliexpress.
Yes, it is refurbished... ,it looked like brand new on the outside.
... however, when I disconnect it from the charger in the morning (7 am) a few hours, and a few phone calls later it is already at 85%
at noon there is 65% left.
at the evening - somewhere around 22h - the battery usually dies completely ...
14-15 hours of usage on battery... NO games, NO Youtube videos.
Max 30 minutes browsing the news (on WiFi)... and an hour of phone calls (city center, so no problem with reception...)
When the screen is on (btw. I set it to 70% brightness) I can literally see the battery percentage indicator decrease every few minutes...
Looks like I got a phone with bad battery... didn't I?
I'm on KitKat (4.4.2 stock) D802 version...
I had this problem on my freedompop(sprint) "refurbished" phone. Even though it looked like new on the outside, I would only get 2-3hrs sot. After replacing the battery I now get more than double that. Factory reset, disable/uninstall the apps you don't need, and only install the apps you do need. If you still get bad battery life then the only option is a new battery.
Btw, a custom rom will NOT give you significantly better sot unless it severely cuts performance and lcd brightness.

Well if you are using kitkat then i must say you got a faulty or old old battery . G2 on kitkat is/was a beast , I can recall those days when i used to get 7+ hrs sot on kitkat . you should call or email to your seller and tell them the problem you are facing.
After sorting through potential power draining apps etc.. You could try a battery calibrator of some sort. I used one and a big difference noticed, however after it's fully charged in the morning I take it off the charger and leave it sit there for at least 30 mins without touching it and battery life is even better.
Thank you all for your answers.
In the mean time I installed this Battery Monitor Widget.... and it gives me some "interesting" readings:
1. my phone charges ridiculously fast. From 37% to 100% in 70-80 minutes... Connected to the charger at 00:04. At 01:14 it was already at 99% (This widget gathers info every 10 minutes)
https://goo.gl/photos/DDerdsk2mSdKipMt7
...and it charges with an insane amount of current (over 2100 mA)
https://goo.gl/photos/VJd7iUFMm5A4s3UeA
2. there are some kind of "spikes" in battery usage, but after a few minutes the battery seems to recover...
this is the battery voltage statistics:
https://goo.gl/photos/Uh96utz1aBJNV3qCA
So, It is more and more evident, I got a faulty battery...
Now, only if I could know where to buy a GENUINE LG battery...
Aliexpress is full of "shops" claiming they are selling "original" LG batteries, however there are quite a few negative reviews about them... (batteries are lighter, thinner, deteriorating fast... etc.)
So I have updated to MM 6.0.1 and experience bad battery life. I have done a factory reset 2 times and still losing approx 1.5% of battery per hour and only seeing the phone go into deep sleep approx 50% of the time according to better battery stats. Before the MM update when I was on lollipop I was seeing a battery loss of about .7% / hr and 90+% deep sleep time for similar usage.
I have disabled all of the bloatware I can (including facebook and flipboard) but still no luck. I am going to go back to 5.1.1 unless someone has any other ideas on what is eating through the battery life with MM.
My battery life has been awful also after the MM update. In fact, it has been terrible ever since Kitkat. I have tried different batteries and hard resets, nothing helps. I am going to try another hard reset because Bluetooth is draining my battery like crazy even though I am not even using it (#1 drain right now). The software for the note 4 has been such a huge disappointment!
great b life, i dont use bluetooth...i really like this update
do you use Package disabler ? i have probably 12 apps disabled..helps a great deal
I do use package disabler and had many more that 12 packages disabled but even with BT off I was seeing a 1.5+% drop/hr. I have now gone back to 5.1.1 to test it out for a few days and verify that battery life is back to normal on it.

Go to settings, backup and reset, press reset network settings. It'll reset wifi, bluetooth and network settings. Helped some people

can anyone tell me if the marshmallow update gives us android users? i know users are not available in 5.1.1 but was hoping it would be in marshmallow.
I've been getting great battery life on MM but I'm running an S7 port on my Note 4. I'm currently at 1d20h with 6% battery left.
Battery life is usually not too good after a factory reset. Give it a couple two or three days and then re-evaluate.
I've been on the Jasmine ROM for about a day and for me, battery life isn't that much worse than it was when I was on 5.1.1.
Also keep in mind the age of a given battery. Like a new car, as soon as you roll it off the showroom floor it begins losing value.... LiOn batteries have a limited number of charge cycles, and after the first handful, you can pretty quickly see faster discharge times. This is accelerated with heat, which tends to happen when you install a new ROM, because you're hitting the screen and processor pretty hard for long periods of time. Also, avoid charging the battery while the phone is hot, that will also accelerate the wear on the battery.
This is one of the reasons the Note 4 is still a great phone today: removable battery! Get yourself a replacement or two, they're cheap and it's always good to have a spare on hand.

I did give MM several days to settle in after a factory reset but still no better battery life. I do not that if you are on JasmineRom that you must have rooted the MM version to install it. I am considering doing the same but was concerned that I would not see any better battery life with it either.
Hi all
I got one this weekend on eBay for a good enough price. It is a YD206 and I think it is a HK version (build no xx.HK1.xx.61) and it's on KitKat 4.4.3. It seems to drain battery much faster than normal. Or at least much faster than I'd like it to, especially being a YotaPHONE and all...
So I was wondering will upgrading to the latest lollipop firmware improve battery life? I have heard bad things about lollipop and battery life. Also I don't want to upgrade and be worse off. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Yotaphone has an average battery (2500mAh). When using it's front display you get average battery cycles: a few hours heavy usage, 1 day average usage.
Your next step should be battery overview in settings. There you get detailed info on which app / system part uses most battery.
I had that NFC Agent draining all my juice on RU 1.1.134 (5.0), so I deactivated it.
I have the latest HongKong Lollipop with HongKong radio, and working really well.
I have same model, close to month usage (3 weeks KitKat, 1 week Lollipop). Battery seems to hold ok. I could do several days of normal usage (since I prefer EPD anyway), but usually having GPS, H+ net and display (adaptive brightness) on most of the time, I need to charge twice a day. Seems reasonable to me considering heavy load. You can save some juice using Yota mirror feature, or customize Yota battery save feature to suit your daily needs and leave it on all the time.

Root and install No-frills CPU Control is your solution :highfive: More details here : https://youtu.be/vOiAMsxq578
