Okay so I'm getting very worried here, but I got my tab e about 15 days ago, meaning I'm one day to late to return it.
And earlier today all of a sudden the upper area of my tablet where the charging port, camera, and samsung name started getting very very hot, like to hot to touch hot. And it's been like that ever since, like 5 hours now.
I had it off for almost an hour, how hot it was never changed.
I let the battery drain till it went dead thinking if the battery was empty there wouldn't be power to heat anything up.
Made no difference, or any change what so ever.
I have no idea what's going on here and it's gotten me very worried as I said up above.
Everything still works perfectly, but the battery drains so fast.
Please tell me someone in here knows whats wrong. And please let it not be that my tablet is defective, cause as I said, can't bring it back as of today.
Sorry, I don't know how to solve your problem without more information, [installed battery draining apps, heavy video or screen usage, gaming, etc] but unless you rooted it, you should be covered under warranty even if you can't return it to the store where you bought it. Even if you are rooted you may be able to return to stock and get a warranty return through Samsung.
Same problem
I had the battery replaced done but it seems to be getting hot again
When i let it idle overnight from 91% 10pm and when i woke up this morning the it dropped to 0%.

So my new Note 3 was fully charged this morning and when I got to class I noticed it had heated up A LOT. It was very, very warm. I had all the apps shut down, Mobile Data turned off, Wifi turned off, GPS/location services turned off, etc and it still died in 2 hours. I was concerned because it was heating up very hot too, so I took the case off and as soon as I returned to my room I plugged it in. The battery went from 100% to 2%.
Why did my Note heat up like that and die when nothing was currently running on the device? Help!!! I don't want this to happen again :crying:

That sounds extremely wrong. I would return it personally if something like that happened to me. My note 3 has never felt even the slightest bit hot to me. It could be something you downloaded, or a crazy app doing something in the background. but for a 3200 mah battery to drain 100% to 2% in 2 hours seems like something is faulty.
I cant even drain the phone that fast on purpose if i tried.
Agreed , just return it or warranty it .

There is an anomaly with you phone. I've had this problem before but on a Motorla Droid Bionic. I was tethering while on a custom rom and my battery went from 96% to 2% in 2 hours. Sorry if it's off topic, my JuggerNote3 has not had a battery issue like you mentioned, so far. Best of luck of getting a replacement and fixing your battery issue
Thanks everyone - I am going to try and fix this problem. Additionally, my phone has also restarted 2 times. This concerns me as well. Does the Note3 need to update by restarting? If not, then I definitely have a battery problem.
My phone is fine now
SO I never got around to doing anything about this problem, and it never happened again. I've had this Note 3 for about 2 months and now it's fine. I met a guy who also said this happened to his N3 (more than once) but his phone still functioned fine. So it seems like maybe it got overworked too soon after I got it??? I'm not sure but it's all good now! I absolutely love this phone, and would recommend it to others. Looks like I'll be a Samsung user from now on
I charged my phone for a little bit last night because it was a little low (48%). I took it off at about 77%. I don't understand what happened. Why did it just drop like a rock? Phone is AT&T LG g2, stock 4.2.2 rooted.
Jesus that can't be good.
I have no clue about this one; it's just too weird.
I'd probably let it fully deplete and then completely charge it and see if it ever does it again.

That's what I'm going to do. Unfortunately this is not the first time it has happened. This happened about 2 weeks ago, but then my GSAM showed a HUGE signal decrease at the same time my battery drained, so I figured it was just that.
This time I just do not understand. I've had this phone since August or September and it's been great until this randomly started happening in the past couple weeks.

Well it says 66% of that was phone radio signal. So that is the problem 90%. I had similat problem only it was while charging, so my phone wasnt charging almost at all, when i restarted it was charging fine (from 20% to 100% in 90 min) . What happened when u picked it up, was it still doing that? Or maybe its a some kind of cpu loop if that is even possible. Some people was complaining about nexus 5 rapidly discharging with combo of some lite apps (news readers).

Yes even after picking it up, the drain continued. I've let it die and am charging the phone while it's off but I don't know if the problem will be fixed.
The youtube app was causing a major battery drain for me a few days ago,now I close it after using it just in case . I'm in the habit of checking the phone's temperature at all times :/
it has a great battery life, especially sceen on time, but the standby isn't top notch at all, I think it's poor software optimization on LG's end, I hope 4.4.2 fixes it.
charge till full. then reboot and check battery percentage.

hello everyone, I'm a new note owner, I bought it used and I think it has two years on it, but it is in great shape. I noticed however, that the battery life isn't that amazing as people have told me, this coming from a Galaxy alpha user. I will leave screenshots of today's battery life and I think it isn't that amazing what it got
I've heard about battery miscalibration, is this really a thing? I can try and calibrated but I need to root it, & I wasn't really looking forward to reading it, since its lollipop on stock rom.
The screenshots are bellow of screen on time and total time, you can see that it's not consistent and I charge my phone two times a day.

I'm using lollipop official rom flashed on Odin via download mode, yes the rom is compatible with my country's frequencies so there's not really a problem there.
I notice however that the battery sort of goes down faster sometimes more than others, sometimes even going as far as draining 10% simply being on stand-by with LTE enabled for 2 hours in my pocket when I'm in class.
Is this normal behavior?
I don't think there is any such thing called miscalibration, I mean I am not sure, but well.
If your phone is 2 years old, then I think the battery has seen its life, time to get a new one mate.
Battery recalibrates itself .
However as the battery is old then Drain the battery to 5% power off charge fully unplug wait one hour top up charge and use .
Next step is new battery Anker brand is good .
Wiping battery stats/ supposed calibration has nothing to do with battery calibration and will make no difference .
Lithium-ion batteries last about 300-500 charging cycles, after that the risk of it dying increases exponentially. Some last 5 years, some 1. It depends on usage and environmental factors.
There is no such thing as recalibrating a modern lithium ion battery. It doesn't have a memory.
New battery costs about 20 quid, it should solve the problem.
Also, did you do a reset after the update? Updates can cause battery drain too, quite often.

No, I did not do a reset after the update. But I noticed this before updating to lollipop, I had to do some running around before I got home the day I bought it, and it was running KitKat 4.4. I got it with 93% of battery, walked home for a bit and was down to 65, went to the shopping and back, got home with 40 to 35%. (I bought the phone at around 5 pm and finally got home after going to the mall at around 8pm)

Then it's the battery, most likely.
6P has been shutting down early for a while now, usually like 10% or less which never really bothered me. Battery life seemed decent, but I never really tracked it.
Last week it started going off at 15-30% at times. But it can be random. Might go below 10% one time, next shuts off at 30%. This was on a prior version of Pure Nexus. So I tried updating to the latest build. First charge it shut down at 40%. Same crap tho, random shut off times. Today it shut down at 48%. By shut down, I mean it just suddenly gives the low battery warning, reports 0% and turns off. Many times I can restart the phone, and it will say like 1-3%, and let me use it for a while before turning off again. This most recent one at the 48% shutdown, I restarted it, showed 1%, used it for a while before it turned off again. Restarted, now shows 18%.
Wtf? Is this just a charge level reporting issue? Tried battery repair/calibration apps/techniques with no success. Nothing looks bad with regards to apps/services draining the battery. I tried accubattery and says I'm at 70% health. Don't even get 2 hours of SOT. Have a replacement battery in the mail. Think this will solve the issues?
It's known issue with some factory battery's for some reason the phone is thinking the battery is low and shutting down even though it's reporting let's say 50%. I didn't have this issue until I bought a cheap replacement would shut down at random percentages especially when opening something power hungry like camera. The only thing you can do is get a replacement and change or send it in to get changed. If you replace it yourself I suggest testing the battery before you put the phone back together. I think the 6p is a great phone and worth it to replace the battery. That just my opinion best of luck. ?

@ 70% your battery has been toast for quite a while. This degradation doesn't happen overnight. If you did your research and purchased one of the "good" replacement batteries from a known good vendor then, yes it will likely completely solve your problem. If you just bought a random battery from Ebay or BFE, then you may have another dud on your hands. Suggest testing the new battery with Accubattery before sealing it back up. Best of luck.

Interesting. Did notice a couple of the times it shut down, and it was this last time at 48% as well, was when opening a power hungry game. And yes I agree the 6p is still awesome today, by far the longest I've had a phone. Considered getting the Pixel 2 XL, but it's a waste of money to me if I can get the 6P working well again.

Hmm, yeah I grabbed one off ebay. Had over 500 sold though, so hopefully not too terrible, but I will test.
I think it has really degraded in the last ~6 months. Possibly from numerous partial charges? Got a new job in April, and I'm often traveling to different sites only 10-15 minutes apart. During this time plug it into my car for Android Auto.
Thanks for the help guys!
In the same boat (But I have a solution for me)
2 weeks ago I upgraded from a beaten GS6 Edge and I am quite fond of my new phone. However I started experiencing this issue, ignored it for the first week since my S6 at 100% battery would die in an hour or two, if I'm lucky. Then the battery problem became an interest to me. I had read a lot of threads on the issue, some saying its a hardware problem, and some saying just a software bug that hasn't (or can't) be fixed. SOOOO at this point I said screw it and just accepted my phone battery as it is. Installed Dirty Unicorns Rom, messed with settings, and boom a breakthrough (I think). DU has a feature called smart pixels in which to save battery life turns off a percentage of the pixels. Wasn't to fond of this at first, but in order to make my 60 - 70 percent battery last i set it to the lowest setting. Every since then I have had maybe one random shutdown, it's only been a week and a lot could change but for me its working pretty well.
Sidenote: I found that not using camera apps, nor Google assistant had also prevented random shutdowns (this helped me with smart pixels enabled and disabled, if you wanna give it ago on stock)
Hello guys. I am experiencing random shutting downs on my phone too. I bought it in January 2017.
What I have observed and today was confirmed is that I have these unexpected shutting down when I charge the phone with fast charge. Today my phone was at 60% and shut down. When I plugged my phone on the charger, the phone was again at 60%!!! How was it possible? I think the problem might be the battery or the internal controller of the charging system...
Hello guys, since a while my battery was draining too fast, when it gets to 15-20% it automatically turns off or loses like 10% in a jump. I finally decided to buy a new one, it came with the original package, seems original to me. However things are the same, battery life is not good. I tried all kinds of calibrations, used the #*0228# code to reset the battery indicator and still im having the problem. Any help I would appriciate!
I have a similar or if not the same issue battery draining like crazy even under normal usage, i have received 2 new batteries tried various roms and the problem is consistent among all of them, today i got about 1 and a half hour of screen on time and then the phone jumped from 30% to 15% warning and then immediately shut down
I don't trust those "oem" batteries on ebay and amazon . I went with an anker battery when mine started dying as well and I couldn't be happier. Cept for the fact that it's a pain to turn on if I let it die but that's a mobo issue not battery. I'm prolly gonna have Sammy swap it for me now that I know it's on about 70$
