Update =I have attached screenshot of battery status in second page.Sorry,I was unable to post the screenshot here.
Update - i did factory reset . still it didnt help.
should i take to service center .
Thanks
Does the tab feels warm? which is the highest battery usage app?
I used to have a issue whereby the media scanner service gone in an infinite loop scanning for songs in my device..
Have to hardreset to solve it. Normally my overnight drain is 5%, that is with wifi/bluetooth/gps/notification/background sync all on.
My issue was with Exchange. It was draining 30-40% of the battery overnight. After removing my exchange account I lose ~5%
no i am not using wifi all the time .
At night ts on standby wifi off,everything else is off.
even if i put in airplane mode still it drains .
but using the tab ,battery does not drain.
should i go to service center ??
do you have any apps running in the background? do you exit each application you use or just press the 'Home' button?

Well.. i recommend try hard resetting the device before returning it
When i first got the tab from M1, it ran into battery issues,
but mine is because of media scanner service
And when i connect to android debugger, it shows the media scanner trying to read my music files but failed, it goes in a infinite loop, making the tab heats up
Anyway my problem was solved when i hard reset to factory settings.
Plus i don link any of the samsung apps. (email, or social hubs)

Try pulling out your SD card and reset. Run without the SD card for a day to see if it's any better.

factory reset didnt help at all.i am taking it to service center.
Thanks everyone for help.

I always thought 15% drainage overnight is normal when you were not charging it. as there are many bloatware running in the background.
Anyway, you could install and run Taskiller and you can see Galaxy Tab 7.7 has a lot of background services running.
Not all of those services are useful, like SocialHub, and they cannot be uninstalled, but you can still freeze it with Titanium Backup Pro (a paid app, need root). You could consider other options like force uninstall (with root as well), but it is risky and not recommended.
Nevertheless, plugging your tab to charger while sleeping is good idea as it prolongs the battery life. The smaller the depth of discharge, the longer the battery will last. Always avoid full-discharging.

samsung has put so much bloatware .junk i will say .
i will get my tab today or tomorrow .will see how it goes.
for me , before going 2 bed was 51 % and in morning i came to know it was discharged
touchwiz is too heavy .and plus honeycomb
Hi, everybody. I'd like to share (and hope others do the same) my "issues" found in the new firmware.
At the moment, after one day testing, the only thing I've noticed is that, when battery level is under 8%, the settings option that shows the apps that drained the battery return a "force close" or app not responding message.
I'll post new results...
LED lights do not work when there is a message come
it's because automatic disable from the device, preventing more draining battery source

I've installed the Illuminatic app from Google Play and it works ok. The only "issue" remaining is that led light doesn't work on stamina mode...
After let the phone charging all night, I unplugged it and tried to run the battery info option and it worked perfectly showing the discharging graph and apps draining battery. I suppose it could be related with some problem with the battery statiscs cause I flashed the new firmware that morning. I'll take a look the next time that battery level was under 10%. I must say, as something really positive, that battery life seems to be increased since flashed the last firmware. I'll post results.
No issues found yet, except that the camera picture quality is still very poor...
The memory managment is very agressive. I have Lux installed and when browsing with crome lux gets closed permanently and sometimes the browser with 1 tab open.
Is there a way to modify the ram management? Multi tasking is unusable right now. My X10 had better memory managment.

There is an option under "Settings-Development settings" that let you manage the number of processes open at the same time. I don't know if changing something there you could achieve a less agressive memory management...

Some users said that setting the camera mode to "normal" (instead hdr and auto i+) it gives better results (in any case it makes you play with the scenes modes and the adjustments). After several tests you can check that it's a software problem, there are apps like ProCapture that gets a very good quality with the camera.

I'm not only having a problem with multitasking but it's starting to kill apps that are running, completely ridiculous. I'm trying to find something that helps but so far I've only tried installing Supercharger script and an App-Settings module for Xposed framework, but they didn't really help much.
Try adjusting the minfree values, I had mine set at 20/24/30 and the ram management was much better

I already adjusted them with the Supercharger script and some things do work better, but I'm having a problem with the keyboard constantly disappearing and not coming back for a few seconds, have any of you faced anything like that? It happens with default and third-party keyboards.
I have an issue since i have flash (with flashtool) the .245 firmware.
When the phone wake up, the wifi is blocked for about one minute. I see in the wifi icon that the upload is ok but not the download.
I have the phone for a couple of days now and I have flashed the Russian 245 firmware and I am noticing these problems:
- camera makes yellow pictures sometimes
- dark screen on wakeup button press - after another press it is ok
this is so far.

I have found that after a few days, stamina mode settles down and doesn't cause as many wakelocks. My battery life has pretty much doubled.

what to do to get rid of that wakelock?
is display problem is solved in this update ?
Even though we have finally received the 4.3 update from SONY,
it seems like shipped with some noticeable bugs.
It's better if we can mention the bugs we have encountered after the 4.3 update
1. ) SONY Select
As many people have reported this service is not working in either mobile broadband or wifi connections.
Only a error text is shown as "No network connection. Please try again later"
2.) NFC icon
It suddenly get disapeared while it's already activated by quick settings.
3.) Airplane mode
When the Airplane mode is turned on by power button menu, it cannot be turned off using the same menu since it's disabled.
I had to go to the settings menu and turn it off from there.
4.) Network mode switching
3G networking and LTE network mode switching does not happening correctly in automatically (sometimes).
work arround found :
Had to go to the network settings and disable the mobile data
turn on the airplane mode on and again turn it off
enable the mobile data again then it will correctly jump to LTE network type
5.) Battery bug
Battery suddenly dropped from about 40 % to 8% (without any downloaded applications.)
6.) Overheating
Phone is incredibly overheating while using the HSPA+ or LTE data connection.
with 4.2.2 i didn't had this much of overheating issue.
Please share your findings also :highfive:
1 no
2 no
3 no
4 no
5 no
6 its normal
Odoslané z C6603 pomocou Tapatalku
1 - No, it is working fine since 2 days ago.
2 - No, this is a customization thing, if you flashed a firmware from a different region it may have been disabled. It is normal, you can re-enable it editing build.prop.
3 - No, it works fine on mine.
4 - No, i don't have this problem.
5 - It happened to me in the first two hours of installing the new firmware, but from 13% to 0% reducing itself in 1% increments every 2 seconds (and it turned itself off), it may be some kind of battery recalibration after installation, it hasn't happened again since then.
6 - I don't feel like it is overheating more than before.
I thing you should do a factory reset. I did it after 4.3 update and the only bugs i have found are:
1 - Progress bar overlaping text while installing applications
2 - Standalone wifi hotspot toggle widget not working (the one in the configurable toggles in notification area works fine)
3 - Bluetooth A2DP music streaming skips a lot in my BMW Car Infotainment system while not charging the phone. It could be some kind of energy saving feature on the bluetooth that it is screwing things up. It worked 10 times better when i was in Android 4.2.2
cheers.

Does video stabilization option works for any one.
For me it doesn't look making any difference
Camera Bug
Tho only bug I noticed is in Camera Addon AR Effects. The Pictures a very dark and there´s no chance to activate LED Flash....
my phone's screen timeout resets back to 15 seconds every once in a while, and wakelock bugs also present
Sometimes SMS received without Notification
I have issues with access to OpenXChange Servers. No new mail can be received.
Just a wakelock bug for me, Suspend_backoff (Android OS) eating battery, it drains like ~5% hourly.

So you reinstalled 4.3 and it didnt fix the problem? Some users said they reinstalled 4.3 (which means complete data loss and having to set my phone from the beginning ) and the problem remains. I dont want to go through a clean istall for nothing.
I also emailed sony for the problem , maybe they will answer me

3 hours from 100 to 65%..
Its draning, i saw the battery optimization manual but i dont think that a 1000$ phone should disable every feature to make the battery better ..
Anything to do?
You have 9 minutes of facebook and it already appears in the battery stats:laugh:
And by the way, the guide doesn't include having to disable any feature, it's just using common sense to tune the settings.
Android system seems to be the main thing killing battery on the Exynos variants, its 1% or lower on Snapdragon variants in my experience.

Facebook lite is the only decent one. Meanwhile their other apps, Facebook & Instagram, are known battery robbers (analytics / logging?). This has been the case for years.

This issue could be because your phone is not entering deep sleep due to the VoiP callling bug (when you perform, whatsapp or facebook call) the proximity sensor activates and avoids the phone to enter deep sleep, a restart after the call will fix it, but also updatong your phone to thw latest official update ASCA fixes this issue.

From your screen shot I see that is normal ,same like me. Somtime worse than yours. Damn I am still think return it
I have the exynos version and it's a battery beast. During normal work days I go to sleep and battery is still at 50%.
Today it's Sunday and I am literally using the phone way too much. I have almost 6 hours shot and battery is as 50%...
Hi guys, it's the second time when my phone drain the battery overnight, it's happened to you? Wich maybe the cause?
Hello,
Same here, it appened 3 times.. I went to sleep with 70% and at wake up no battery.. Today i've not used my phone between 3 hours, it was at 78% i just verify right now if a have notification and i see than the battery is at 48%. It's very strange.. phone is very hot, all apps cleared..
After I have wrote this problem my phone is stuck and I need to restarted,is very hot,cache memory is clean,no apps in background....why? maybe the new miui solve this problem?
I had this problem one time.. It was so hot, black screen, after 5min on "power" button the phone have restarted and stay on the Mi logo during 20minutes.. Can't help you.. I've see than we aren't alone with this problem but don't know how to resolve

Your phone isn't entering in to deepsleep
I would say it isn't an OS fault, but it is an app that you are installed that is doing it.
I'm positive even that this is the issue.
Now, do you have root to use a Wakelock monitor?
No,I have not Root,I will install and try to figure out the app guilty for this thx ,this answer help us
any news on this? Still have this problem, phone gets hot, processors at max freq until the battery runs out... Only a reboot fix for some hours or days... then it happen again

I guess playstore os Chrome is doing it.
DRM isn't something from Android but an app that access it
Do you watch google play videos?
Perhaps you can try to set back the theme to the original theme. I have done mine and the draining stopped. If I use any custom theme, suddenly the phone will get hot and then drain battery like hell.
I've reverted to original theme and so far there's no issue apart from sometimes the phone suddenly hang and have to do a reboot.
