It sound like you have a faulty battery if it only lasts three hours, I think you would have to be gaming to flatten a good battery in that time.
John.
Mine is the same. If I'm browsing the web, using instagram, Facebook and receiving email my battery will go from full to empt in easily 3 to 4 hours.
Backup, factory reset, reinstall apps from market (try to install only the ones you use a lot at first), restore the data you need. If you're still seeing the same things happening, install a battery logger / system logger. Use this guide to see if there's a rogue app that's causing the trouble: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937080
If it's still acting up and you cannot identify any unusual drain, I'd ask for a replacement.
After you get things sorted, you can use apps like Juice Defender from the Market to prolong your battery life even more.

thanks guys for the sincere contribution.... i hope your advices help me...
my top battery consuming activities are:
temple run
google play
msging
go launcher
and nothing else
gaming and browsing certainly make the battery drain almost visibly..
things above and beyond the above to try include..
1. reduce screen brightness
2. reduce frequency of or disable background updates by apps
3. no vibrate notifications
4. work more, play less!..lol
the battery life of the Note is great, unless you use it .. a battery monitor will allow you to see the battery drain over time..this will help when you address item #2 above.. if you accept default refresh times, and have lots of social apps your battery can die in 6-7 hrs without even using the Note at all!..
I really love when people give the tip to not use your phone as a battery saving tip

some hints for better battery life
Got mine the other day. First charge battery was fine. Second charge went down 7% in about 5-10 mins. Then it restarted :/ Came back on, down to 88%. Turned the phone off as was frustrating me as it restarted 3 times yesterday. But when I turned it back on I was at 83%?
Hasn't last me the day, it's on charge now. When it pops up telling me to charge it tells me to shut all apps and that using while charging may effect it charging. Is this correct? I didn't think it would have anything to do with it?
3 to the 4 hours continuous use is normal... Only if your phone is standby and then depletes in that time You should be worried. I recommend researching wakelocks in that case.
There are many variables that can atribute to batterylife depletion. Eliminate those first and you will have your answer.
I had best results on stunner version 19. To bad it has the death kernel (leaked ics)

I am facing a similar issue, facing a massive wakelock by PowerManagerService. It keeps the phone awake all the time?
Any suggestions?

Usually that wakelock is there cause you are charging, or have USB plugged in

Had the note for 2 days. It came with LA4 FW and updated via Samsung Apps for the latest FW.
Battery drain, that was none on LA4 became very strong!
Installed Better Battery Stats and discovered that the CPU was always running.
Factory reset solved it...

I can recommend "2x Battery" free app. I'm using it today and making a very noticeable difference.

Im Totally stuck and had my OTA to 4.3 and now i see alot of battery draining by different apps.. now Phone idle is totally eating my battery more than every thing else !! even if i put my phone on airplane mode it has its effect ! what should i do with it ?!
Expect ALOT a battery drain for day one with the OTA and then it will stop draining badly, it is restoring some data using Google Backup and such at the moment.

i'm experiencing Android System excessive os battery drain on my GT-I9500 under Omega v14.1, it's eating up all my juice from two days ago, even my display isn't over 10%, Android System is taking 58% and sometimes more than that.
Please can somebody help with this serious problem ?
PS: my phone is new, and my battery isn't swollen ...
Install BetterBatteryStats which can be found here on xda, fully charge and then fully discharge your mobile using it as you normally would, then look at Kernel wakelocks to see if there are any processes draining your battery.

My Google Play is 32% and i have hardly used my phone.
Hi guys merry Christmas,
I haven't rooted my phone or anything but for 2 weeks now I have that mmc0_detect wakelock.
I'm losing over 10% overnight with the airplane mod on.
When I check the battery stats android system is at 51% and android os at 15%.
I've downloaded better battery stats but since I'm not rooted I can only see kernel wakelocks.
Cpu stats shows that my phone still goes to deep sleep.
I cleared caches and yet it's still here.
I'm not sure how to fix the problem.
Did anyone had an idea?
I found on an Italian website that it can be caused by a faulty sdcard.
But since it's impossible to put one in, the problem remains
I have 20% battery drain overnight (8 hours). I just got used to it lol.

Yeah but that's not normal. Have you tried better battery stats?
Hi,
I bought my galaxy s5 exynos version. It is overheating a lot. Its body gets pretty hot and temp sensors show that the battery temp is 38 degrees and body temp is 33 degrees. The battery life also is really poor.. it went to 47% in just 3.5 hrs of usage even with power savings. Is it a problem with phone's battery? I have attached a screenshot of battery stats.
Are the other users using smg900h facing this problem of heating and battery drain? is there any workaround? Please help me.

Not at all... There's something wrong with yours. I usually get 6+ hrs screen on time on mine.
Battery lasts a day.
Any app you recently installed? Or maybe your SD Card has some corrupted files and the Media Scanner gets stuck?

No the media server isnt popping up. Now as I am writing this , the battery drain slowed down and now it is on 23%. This is my first discharge of phone though.. Also what about overheating? Mine remains warm while browsing and becomes hot after using a bit of camera. I dont know why but my ears feel the heat during a voice call.

Hi! sorry about my English.
I'm having the same problem with my exynos galaxy s5. It sometimes gets really hot and the battery drains really fast, even with low usage (emails and whatapp). It's definitely a software problem, because it disappears on reboot. But after a while it returns.
After a reboot i can get sometimes 4.5h to 5h or more of screen on time with no overheating, full day, but than something triggers and i have 2.5 screen or 3h max on with a hot device on wifi, and terrible standby time.
I can't pinpoint the problem. It's not a wakelock problem. I Checked wakelock detector (PC version, since my device is unrooted), and it shows only 8% wake on a full day (yesterday).
The battery on setting shows normal usage: the screen is always on top, followed by android os.
I really don't know what to do, besides keeping rebooting the device every day. No luck turning locations services off.
As I mentioned, that is not normal at all, this is my battery life:

Do you have the Exynos or the Snapdragon version?
i'm having similar issues with mine, but i managed to get better battery life by turning off location reporting, samsung account,chatON, my magazine, polaris and changing the location to GPS only, it's not drastically different but as of right now im at 61% with 13h off the charger and 30m on screen time.

Yes, an old class 10 16GB card. I have it since I got the S3... I stopped using it while I had the Nexus 4 and 5.

Dont have this issue at all, i charge it when the battery is below 20%
use greenify and blaze kernel for SM-G900F with the power suspend 1% drop in 5 hours
Try to reboot every time of overheating. This should resolve the problem.

man! Really ?? I can only get around 3 hours and 40 minutes at best.
which variant you're using bro ? I am using SM-G900H and trying to buy another spare battery.
Do you perhaps have 1+ Exchange accounts filled with data (email, calendar, contacts, memos, ..). I had this issue on my Nexus 4. As I wiped and flashed the device often, I noticed that the issue was not appearing when I forgot to add one of my Exchange accounts. What fixed it was deleting most unwanted data from my Exchange accounts (old e-mails, all sent e-mails, ecc.). Just guessing.
