Hello,
Why my stock battery life drop fast only under idle state? It was a 1 yr old Note 4 from my cousin and the issue doesn't happen with the mpj 6440mah extended battery which I bought recently. Anyone out there ever had this problem?
Thanks!
please help!!
Do you leave background applications running?
Try battery doctor or clean master to kill those applications if you have root better try root booster
Still doesnot work try factory resetting.

First few percentages (from 100-85%) drop faster. The idle drain should be 1% per 1.5 hours or 1% per hour. Try discharging battery to 25% than charge it fully (do this twice) see if it improves.

Hi guys, this is not another rant post about battery life, but i'm starting to become really
frustrating with it, i tried almost all the solutions provided here on the forum but i can't
simply get the **** out of it. This is my story:
I bought the phone as used around 1 month ago (the guy who sold me the phone used it for around 1
month as well). I was quite satisfied about the device, but i noticed almost immediately the damn
poor battery life. With stock battery, my stats are (this is an average of the last 3 times i
used it):
Average duration: 27 hours
Average display usage: 2.5 hours
Average display %: around 45%
Average standby: Cell 30%, phone 15-16, other apps and android core 1-2
This with the following configuration:
3g off
gps off
background data off
bluetooth off
display brightness set to the minimum
no background applications or live wallpapers
No animations
No vibration feedback
No sounds
No widgets
Removed 5 touchwiz panels out of 7
Wi fi on (actually i noticed some small improvements by leaving it off)
The strange thing is, i noticed that the phone drains a LOT of battery while in standby. During
the night (7-8 hrs standby) my phone can drains up to 20% of the battery life. I read on the
forum that a lot of you guys have a battery drain overnight of around 2-3% which is 10 times
lower than mine.
So i thought about 2 possible causes:
1) Software related(processes or applications running in background)
2) Hardware related (battery ****ed up by the previous owner; phone not going in standby correctly)
Regarding the problem 1) i tried almost every solution provided here on the forum. Updated to new roms (JM5 and JM8) installed ultraslim roms, installed battery saving applications and task killers, performed some exotic "fixes" (removed battery stats file, tried to completely drain the battery following some procedures explained here on the forum). Nothing helped. To check case 2) i bought a cameronsino extended battery. Well with this battery i have exactly twice the duration of the stock battery. Last night i charged it to full before going to bed. This morning, when i woke up, the phone drained 10% (!) of the battery in 8 hours. So the stock battery is not the problem. What should i think then? that My phone is ****ed up? is There no chance to obtain a decent battery life? How is possible that a lot of guys have almost twice my battery life with stock battery?
I guess your phone may not be going into the sleep mode correctly ... try using system panel (from the market) and figure out which rogue app is causing the problem. Mine usually drains 4-5% at night.. (jm8 stock + voodoo)...
Hey guys, i have a problem concerning the battery life of my HTC Hero with FroydVillain 1.7.3 (Android v2.2.1)
In the last couple of days my battery goes down by 10-12% per hour without even touching the phone. I tried factory reset, wiped sd card and reflashed, flashed CM7 but still the battery issue didn't go away.
I charge it 100% before i go to bed at 11.30 and when i wake up at 7 the phone is completely powered off..
The thing that consumes my battery is the process "Android OS". I read about it on the internet, but all threads were SGS2..
The strange thing is that it's CPU usage time according to the battery stats is 1h 21m after 3 hours of sleep.. Is this normal??
I have everything turned off - wifi, gps, mobile data, auto sync, background sync and still the drain continues.
Has anyone had this kind of issues and possibly a solution?
Or should i buy a new battery?

I have also been experiencing battery issues with Froyd lately, but not to the same degree as you are. My solution was to wipe and install another 2.2.1 based ROM. This new ROM is acting normally in terms of battery life.
With Froyd, my battery was acting "weird" in terms of overall battery life. Once I got about 3 good discharge / charge cycles in a row things seemed to improve.
Another thing to consider is did you recently install any new apps? Some apps don't play nice and cause the phone to not enter sleep state OR cause excess CPU usage.
Some people might say "wipe battery stats" but some Google Engineer / Developer has recently dispelled that myth... https://plus.google.com/u/0/105051985738280261832/posts/FV3LVtdVxPT
Good luck!
It's not from any app. Last night i wiped my sd card, wiped everything from recovery and flashed Froyd. I used it all day without installing anything besided battery graph to monitor my battery usage. it's something from the OS itself i guess..
The funny thing is that it seems that in the past two hours the drain has disappeared and now the battery is reducing by ~1% per hour and i haven't done anything during that time, except 2 calls under a minute each and 1 sms.
How old is ur battery? Did you consider that it might be physically related? Not because of the processes or so?
One more thing I noticed - if I charge by ac outlet, it charges faster, and lasts longer, if I charge by computer usb port, it charges really slowly and battery drains way faster... I don't know about battery life, maybe from ac outlet it dies faster, but 2 years of using it and still 1.5 day of normal use...
Thanks for the replies guys! I found the problem, it was my radio.
I flashed the latest radio and now my hero's battery life is better than before!

Looks like you have a battery problem. OS does not really kill batteries, you can see more or less the same performance if there are no background apps eating your power.
Check these batteries for your Hero. These are top quality and many users vouch for them.
HTC Hero Mugen Power batteries
@saj222 i'm now running the same radio as the one in your signature. before that i was with 09.05 or sth like that..
@porcupineli my hero is second hand with about a year of usage before me. i have it for about 2 months now. Since the phone costed me $90 i don't think i can pay $70 for a battery.. I was thinking of buying this one
ebay (dot) com/itm/2600mAh-Extended-Battery-cover-HTC-Hero-G3-White-GSM-/250892692348?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a6a5eab7c#ht_1230wt_1139
Is it any good?
Hy Guys,
I have a problem with my Defy's battery (not exactly with it.)
If I fully charge it, it "drains the battery" fast and when it says 1% reaming, it lasts about half of the battery time.
So, I tried to use battery calibrators, delete the batterystats file, but nothing. My battery is new and as I said IT LASTS A LONG TIME? BUT WITH BAD PERCENTAGES.
Please help me, because it's so damn annoying

I think best combo is full discharge + full%charge (and 1-2 hours more connected after 100%) and then reboot in recovery to clean battery stats.
The battery need autocalibrate with full charging cycles.
please search Battery Calibration app on Play. Use it after dropping battery stats.
I got this screenshot of my battery drain. There are random drops and I didn't use my phone at that time.
Hi,
I'm new here so.. hello everyone Tnx for having me. I've read the other Note 3 battery drain issues but they are not the same as mine. Here's the thing: Note 3 drains about 1-2% per minute of battery if I do anything on it like browse the net or godforbid play ingress (then it's even worse at about 3-4% per minute). Here's the kicker: it only happens on the original battery. When I use noname cheap battery replacement it uses about 0.15-0.25% a minute (or 4-7 minutes per 1%). I've swapped the original battery at the store so this is the second one and the same problem persists. I used my own multimeter to confirm the battery voltage and it's the same one as detected by note 3. The problem persists on aryamod, C9 and phorensis note7 roms. Other things I've noted is that if i reboot the phone at 100% (immediately after unplugging) it will come back at 91-92%. If the battery is drained to 0% on purpose it will stay at 1% for about 45 minutes or so, and then if it's taken out of the phone while turned off and put back immediately on boot it will show at 20%-40% charge. Basically, what are the odds that 2 batteries at the store are both faulty? Any advice? Any suggestions?
PS
The problem persists even if nothing is running, fresh boot with zero apps on, just opera mini and 4G xor wifi.
Test with full wipe and stock rom.
Battery drop after charging is not unknown.

I can do that, but I'm also interested as to why it happens on original brand name Samsung battery and not on noname knockoff? Also, 8-10% charge drop and 20-40% charge rise is highly abnormal.
It could have something to do with the custom ROMs or kernels included with the ROMs.
I also suggest a full wipe of the cache, system, and data before going back an unrooted stock ROM.
Hey OP, both original batteries i had (the one i bought the phone with and the one i bought last year from Samsung) act kinda the same as you describe.
Basically it drains 1% every two minutes or so if i keep using the phone. If i let the phone idle for 20 minutes and then start using the phone again at, say 80%, it will stay on 80% for 10 minutes and then start dropping fast again. After reaching 1% it will also give me some 20 - 30 minutes of screen time.
I noticed that if i unplug the phone the moment it say 100% - unplug, the battery will drop fast to 95% (15 minutes of idle). However, if i leave the phone plugged in for an additional hor after full charge, it will discharge normally in idle, 1% every hour. I calibrated the battery numerous times by fully discharging it and charging it with the phone off but no chabge in its behaviour.
My sister's no name battery, of course, act normally under identical load, 1% every 5 minutes of screen, no problems at full charge, or 1%.
Hi there.
I got this 2nd hand Note 3 (N9005) last week, and I'm testing battery life in different conditions with the original top update (5.0), before I flash a custom ROM and use it as my main phone.
System says battery is in good condition, and it has a fairly good standby time, but it drains quite fast (about 1% per minute) when active / SOT. GS monitor says I'm averaging 1h46m SOT, which I know is not good, and understandable since I guess this is the original battery.
Now the weird thing: I had about 13% battery when I turned it off. I removed the battery (I needed to take out the SIM card, I don't think this is related) but when I put the battery again in and turned it on, I had 35%!
I spent all of that until it has below 3%, it sounded the alarm and completely dimmed the screen and so, then I removed again the battery (checked also the contacts, nothing dirty on the battery or phone btw).
When I put again the battery, I got 18% power left. Now it's gone and I am afraid to play this game anymore - I'll just give it a full charge.
Does anyone experienced similar behavior? I wonder if it's a calibration problem, or a known symptom for old batteries.
As a side note, I had a Note 3 Neo Duos last year and the battery was bad. It used to discharge almost instantly from 30% to zero and turned off the phone. However I remember that I could remove and put again the battery for some extra life, just the same. I'm more or less terrified by this lol.
(The Neo Duos, N7502, was stuck at 4.3 without any development. I'm glad I was able to get this N9005 now).
I'm attaching a GS mon. screenshot showing usage so far, and the system Battery Use that shows the two points when I removed the battery.
Difficult to follow your post.
Suggest as first step Wipe Battery stats.bin.
Or from play store battery calibration app to wipe battery stats.
This will not calibrate battery just reset battery stats.
