Try to disable all sync and disable location services. See if the battery improves and then activate sync one by one to see the culprit.

But I don't turn any sync or location on ?
any idea ?

Check in Google maps, turn off location history and location reporting. Turn off network location in location settings of it is on. If that doesn't help disable Google now. I had this exact issue and that fixed it.

It's common if you have WiFi and network location checked in your location settings. This forces the phone to randomly use these services, even if you turned them off.

Turn them all off. Reboot the phone and see how it looks in a few hours. It won't show instantly, takes time.
Go into Google Play services and clear data and reboot.

Screen brightness-throttling....

Hey guys
Something that's really annoying me is my phone still changes the display brightness level with everything turned off/manual
No power saving mod
Manual brightness
Screen mod standard
Stock browser is on manual
WTF is going on. Surely others have experienced this?
How do we turn it off

If your note 3 gets too hot it will reduce the screen brightness.....

Display Settings
Automatic contrast off!

I have never seen this on any other device
It happens only 10min into use with just general browsing

Automatic contrast is already off

So is everyone happy that this is happening?
I cant believe no one else is bothered by it!!

It was bothering me A LOT but now something worse took over, the phone keeps rebooting and I've had to reset and start all over again and it's still happening. So the dimming is annoying but not nearly as annoying as not being able to use the phone at all!

I wrote about this throttling a few times here during the last days, search for my recent posts! in short: this throttling also happens when all auto brightness functions are turned off, and even if you manually set the lowest brightness! it depends on CPU load, thermal envelope and/or power-draw! I personally find it very annoying, especially because it happens also on lowest levels...

Does it happen with a full battery or plugged in?

GPS Battery bug

Hi all, got my Note 3 Thursday and I love it, came from a Z1 and what I love the most is the battery life. I'm a pretty heavy user and so far I'm getting at least 6hrs screen on which is awesome for me!
Anyway I noticed today that even though my GPS hasn't been on its showing on in battery stats

}
but when I did turn the GPS on it shows its off, it's like it's inverted strangely....rebooted phone still same.
I will back up and factory reset it tomorrow, but wanted to check if anyone else had this before, I did search but nothing came up. BTW I'm stock unrooted.

A colleague of mine is having same problem but with wifi, it's inverted....I will point out though it doesn't seem to have an effect on battery life. Must be a visual bug.

Edit: mine wasn't inverting like yours, just showing the gps on when it was off.
I isolated this down to google maps, I didn't notice a drop in battery, but It bugged me none the less. Once location was blocked in Xprivacy it stopped reporting GPS-on in the battery stats. This might fix it: Try temporarily disabling google maps from app info and see if it stops, then re-enable.

OP screen looks strange and looks nothing like mine: I have GPS on all the time and actually used maps for driving from work today and GPS shows active only when screen was on. With screen off on mine GPS shows off as well, where OP shows GPS active all the time. I wonder if OP has some program requesting GPS position at all times, even with screen off. Maybe some anti theft tracking or showing OP position to friends and family? Maybe same program over rides off setting? I never heard of settings being inverted, but maybe there is some system error.

Thanks for your feedback, after trying a few things: disabling Gmaps, rebooting device, turning off location services still no joy. So before doing a factory reset I reset the app preferences, which you can do but going to settings>app manager>all>press menu and then select ' reset app preferences' and it worked.
So it must if been some app causing this, I don't have a tracking app apart from the Android device manager, which is on, a bit stumped what it was but now glad it's gone as my OCD was going through the roof!! ?

I had the same problem,all my GPS settings were set to off but somehow the Battery stats were showing that the GPS was all time on! I tried many things until I found the real culprit, and in my case was not the OS software but an App that is keeping the GPS on despite closing it! The App (2GIS) is of course related to GPS as it includes navigation among its features.The solution was to close the app and reboot my device instead of deleting that app as I really want it! So I will advise anyone with this problem to find every app on their phone which uses GPS and monitor them, hopefully you will track down the culprit!

What can awake my phone like that?

Look at this screen shot, I left my phone on over the night and it seems that it was awake many times.. I already tried to factory reset.. I'm in Stock rom and I didn't root it.

Normal android behaviour will awaken at various periods for a short amount of time to synchronise various features such as time, emails, etc.

Sync is disabled ..

It's weird have you try keeping OFF GPS/localization option in main menu setting?

Try using ultra power saving mode if you're not going to be using the phone for a while

When you in a bad reception area your phone will constantly search for a network and it will cause huge battery drain. Was your signal reception OK?

Install wakelock detector. That detects the specific service/process that causes it

The wifi always on is due to the "Always scan" option on the advanced settings on the wifi menu. Look for it and disable it.

It do to your location settings. If you want it to stay off go to your location settings and select GPS only. For some reason some of the apps are turning on Wifi to find your location. I had the same issue but could not figure out which app was doing it.

Thanks dude this was happening to me too

The latest Google Play Services has a bug; the above workaround is all we can do until they roll out an update.

Thanks I was just about to ask if any one knew why this was turning it self on

I updated a few apps thru the play store yesterday with Android System Webview being among them. Afterwards, looking at my wifi tab, I noticed it's not blinking with like before. I think the latest "Android System Webview" may have fixed this issue.

Changes in router's Wireless Security had caused it in my case
I had this issue and was causing me real headache. I initially thought it was hardware failure of my phone but later I found reason is something else.
For some reason I had changed Wireless Security of my WiFi router from WPA2 Personal to something else (I guess WEP).
That was causing my phone (intex cloud 4g) often to turn on and off WiFi on its own. I changed the Wireless Security back to WPA2 Personal and phone is now back to normal (not turning WiFi on and off on its own)
