[HELP] [n900] BATTERY DRAIN PROBLEM after update

Hi I'm a Indian user
Last week I updated my note3 to xxuenf3 firmware then I had very terrible battery life
I'm getting just 4 hour on screen sometimes I get 3 hours :crying:
Guys please help me to increase my battery life
I don't want to root my device

May post your battery usage page to see what drains that much. The more experienced guys here may correct me but i guess without rooting there arent too many options to safe battery.

thanks for quick reply
i had set brightness to auto (-5 level)
what about android system it also consuming more amount of battery

The more experienced people can say more to that as me. Specially with your desire to not root your phone. There are as far i remember serval bugs causing system to drain more battery but i think it was way more than. Maybe search arroubd here for that bugs for more info about it could not be too wrong tho

thank how to root n900 ???
then should i install custom rom for good battery life

Added link
There are serval threads about that. Just follow the steps within thread step by step and youll be good to go. But read up within the threads about consequenses and risks. You wont need custom rom an custom kernel will do good aswell. I have nice experiences with ultimate kernel. Important to know is you have to read up if the kernel/rom is confirmed as working with exactly your device. For example international note 3 = sm-n9005
Here is an excellent written guide on how to safe up some battery

Getting 3.5 SOT, is this normal?

Hey everyone.
I get about 3.5 hours of SOT with a max of around 4 from time to time. (Adaptive brightness turned off, brightness set to around 50%) I'm not an aggressive user and I've even had my battery go low before I've even reached 3 hours of screen time. I'm on stock rooted with nothing real special going on. I'm not against using a different rom if I have to in order to get better battery life.
My experience so far is that the battery seems average at best. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks
Forgot to mention, I do leave wifi and bluetooth on 24/7. GPS is usually set to high accuracy as well. Wifi & bluetooth scanning are both off. In the battery stats page it shows the device being in an awaken state a lot more than when the screen is actually on... bluetooth wake lock issue?

Sounds good

I pray this is sarcasm.
3/4 of this forum is being saturated by SoT topics and posts, and ppl thinking they should be getting 24hrs of screen time.
This could have EASILY been placed in any of those threads, is my point.

I agree it's unnecessary but no need to be a ****, it's not that big of a deal.
---------- Post added at 06:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 PM ----------
I get about 3.5 - 4 hours it honestly depends on your usage, there's a battery life thread in real reviews you should check out battery life is going to be different for everyone. Signal strength, carrier, amount used on wifi, personal use, apps all have a factor on it.

I've always gotten between 5-6 hours SOT. I don't leave all that on. If I'm not using it I turn it off and I use a custom kernel always. Usually ak or Kylo. Best battery I've ever gotten constantly on any device I've ever owned.

Thanks again for the suggestion. I installed everything you mentioned and performed the tweak for battery life.. So far everything seems amazing

New update today for t-mobile version, hopefully is for battery improvement.

Speak for yourself. Many of us have terrible battery drain. Especially in standby mode.

I would like to see it becomes more stabilizing while in stand by mode for snapdragon version.

No, it hasn't. It even introduced a new battery hog. See my thread I started in this forum.

Crazy how some peeps battery life sucks and some it's great. I've owned pretty much every higher end phone but a Nexus. S7 Edge battery life is the best I've had. Will only get better after a few weeks when I put it down. :laugh:

Agreed. Mine is draining faster today than yesterday.

I got an update today for my AT&T version also. G935AUCS2APC2 is the latest. Android version didn't change, still 6.01

seems like they changed the security settings, now everytime I lock the screen with nova double tap, I need to use the pin my fingerprints wont open it.

I'm still on the old update apparently for AT&T. Even shows me this message when checking for updates.

Additional 2 factor authorization has been enabled since the original firmware. It's nothing new but is very annoying.

My battery has been amazing. On standby I'll keep it unchanged overnight at 100 and when I wake up its around 80-90 not bad for 8 hours stand alone

This is my battery usage from two different instances, battery life has been very good to me on Nougat, however a week ago or so I had to factory reset my phone because "media server" drained my battery very quickly. These screenshots are made after that factory reset.

Can't complain.. it's absolutely better than MM

No unfortunately not. But after a factory reset it never came back in such a huge way, before the factory reset it suddenly appeared on top in the usage list with 45% usage, dropping my phone's battery from 90% to 40% in less than 1 hour.
My settings aren't really special, I only use sync when my phone is charging (regular charging, I don't ever use fast charging), I don't use AOD, Location or NFC, and I have disabled pretty much everything that can be disabled through the phone itself, without using a package disabler. Also, my screen resolution is on 720P.

I love the batterylife on my s7 edge with 7.0 btu. It's way better then mm

hi all, has anyone seen this: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s7_edge_battery_life_on_android_70-blog-23204.php
I don't know what to do now, I am thinking to disable the autoupdate....

Battery recommendations? Does it need to be the battery for my exact model?

I noticed on eBay batteries for the Note 4 list compatible models for each battery. Are batteries for all Note 4 variants interchangeable? Or do I need to get one for my specific model? My phone is the SM-N910V model.
I'm in Canada and not looking for one of those big batteries. Just the stock/oem battery.

Personally, i would go for ravpower brand battery. on amazon too and there is for your model

Damn. I forgot about the Ravpower batteries. I had to run out and stop the garbage truck so I could snatch my phone out of the trash. I thought it was a goner. Just ordered a Ravpower from Amazon and saved my phone in time. :good:

Lol I wouldn't be able to trash a phone, it will come back and haunt me. I know you have an LG now but how was the battery and what customisations did you do to improve battery life?
I got a ravpower battery few days ago but need some help with tweaking kernel settings etc to improve battery life as it is not that good.
Tried these optimisers like FDE and LKT but no luck, haven't tested LKT properly though as an update for FDE came out that should've fixed the CPU/GPU turbo boost thing.
Also, I don't care about gaming like PUBG (although I like it :laugh: )
Thanks for your previous advice/help and now of course.
---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 PM ----------
You know what I think it's doing 10x better without optimiser thing. 10% lost by browsing on xda for 40min. Might be speaking too early.
Definitely still interested in changing some things around to improve it so please hit me with the facts/guides/tutorials/walkthroughs??!

Of course that wasn't a true story. Hah. I would never toss my "baby".
I haven't played with it much since but I ended up getting the Ravpower for it. It was cheap and arrived promptly. I used Kernel Audiutor for it and it's set to whatever the default is.
I can say I have gotten at least 90 more mins of SOT and more than a week of standby. Maybe even more. I'll power it up sometime soon and check Battery Bot.

Screenshot of my standby time. My OST is only ten mins at this point tho since this is no longer my daily driver.

Wow I actually believed it, was gonna ask if you tossed it at the bottom of a pretty much empty bin or... but it's getting emptied so must be full unless you did it earlier haha. Because I was wondering about the damage that may have occurred if this actually happened (from throwing it in the bin and then truck). How the hell would you find your phone just laying on top of all the trash in the garbage truck?!?! Now it makes sense that that's not true. I am really dumb:cyclops:
OK now I got that out of my head are you saying that kernel auditor automatically configures some things without you adjusting anything in the app? Because I didn't know that. Also what you mean by Battery Bot?
I don't think it does that unless you picked a standard configured profile that kernel auditor gives you based on device or something (not someone else's log configuration file or whatever you call it)
But like I said I don't know my kernel stuff... take your time I'm in no rush after all all of this is free and out of kindness which is something I really appreciate from XDA (or even the internet in general (duh))

I can confidently say I will get between 4-5hr SOT compared to trash SOT before (min 2hr max 4hr suprisingly, probably less intensive use)
On average 4.5 hours at least

I joke around often. Battery Bot is a great battery tool. I put the widget for it on my home screen and check it now and again to see how much approximate SOT I have left, how long it's been on standby, etc.
