Hi everyone
I have an international version of Note 3. The problem I'm facing is, after rooting my phone and installing Lidroid Custom ROM, the battery on my phone started draining badly. To get rid of the problem I reinstalled Stock ROM on it and also unrooted the phone. But the problem is still there.
Even without using the phone, the percentage drainage is about 1% every 10-15mns. Have removed all third party application from the phone, but to no avail.
Can something be done about this? I'm at wits end and need a solution badly. Please respond ASAP.
Thanks in advance.

Get wakelock detector from Google play see if it's a app draining the battery
Get into recovery mode and clean your cache, whatever bad bug went on with the custom ROM flash is still there. Once you clear it you should be OK.
Hi! I recently updated my i9505 to the xugng8 firmware via kies. Ever since, my phone has been randomly rebooting itself. The reboots are quick enough, so it doesn't look like the phone is completely rebooting, more like a half reboot. I have tried formating, but that didn't help. I have the phone rooted but using stock firmware.
Any ideas what could be causing this? Thanks

You have to uninstall every Knox app, that will stop the reboots

Remove all Knox related apps via "Titanium Backup" and you are good to go. :good:
there is also an xposed module that deals with these random reboots, but personally i think the best way is to revert to an earlier firmware. fnb8 is rock solid.
I have just upgraded my firmware to NG8 (UK) and my phone reboots randomly, no matter what I am doing. After receiving a call, using gmaps, etc..
I will try the suggested solution with removing the knox sh*t and report back.
Yes

Yes, same problem here exactly. Any solution to fix this WITHOUT ROOT or reverting back to xxufnb9 ?
I found that uninstalling all knox apps and resetting a private app fixed my problem. I have been restart free for the last 2 days! I suggest using BBS to find out what app is causing wakes and reset them.

yup same here after reading this thread and removing all knox crap.... phone has not had a self reboot reboot for the day...
Revert
Had to reflash the old XXUFNB9, it was useless with all those restarts. Downgrade went okey, however need to delete the Media Storage `s cache because it will keep crashing. Testing now if it solved the problem.
Update 1: after 2 hours later no restart so far..
I recommend this solution who doesn`t want to loose everything and risking if a factory reset will solve this issue. There is a problem with the KNOX 2.0 update (XXUGNG8) ...
Update 2: Link for the firmware, for whoever choose to do this way: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=31852
Ok, just a quick update, I have used googlemaps for 2 hours, and tomtom navigator for 1 hour on my S4, made and received a few calls without issue. No REBOOTS.. I think it was definitely the knox crap...

Stabil for 3 hours or 2 days - well that's for sure great ....
You both must be joking - take older NB8 and you can have an uptime of > 1 month without any problem,
All newer version are worse -
As s.o. mentioned, there is an Xposed Modul made by Thomas Hofmann that tries to solve this. This is not a Knox problem but seems to be in AOSP itself - although might mainly be triggered by Knox 2.0 (NB8 is still Knox 1.0). In general situation goes worse the more processes are started, i.e. with heavy load. It is said to happen not only with S4 but e.g. also with N3.
As Thomas Hofmann stated: "I figured out that actually the system server process crashed due to an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException"
If you want to know details plz have a look at Thomas's blog. With his modul he mainly catches a faulty parameter value that would otherwise cause a certain method to crash. As a result he manages to avoid the reboot but of course the real problem goes deeper, so to fix this for real Google / Samsung are needed.
=> I want a 4.4.4 rom with towelroot fixed, without those ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsExceptions and as solid as NB8 - but I doubt Samsung is able or willing to do this.
I am using STOCK i9505 4.4.2 ROM which is rooted. I don't use towelroot because I don't have to. I also try to stay away from premade Roms and Kernels beause i don't have time to test and tinker with eveything.
After a few days of removing knoxcrap, I can conclude, that it is the issue with my phone. My i9505 is now working perfectly......
Have to agree with you. Since removing all the knox stuff, Haven't had a reboot since! Been over a week now at this stage!

Yes, many think this to be a nice 'feature' to get root, but that rediculous. Towelroot (plus the older Exynos bug - but that was Samsung specific) is the biggest bug in Android since many years. Using a kernel that is not hardened against this (this unfortunately includes the otherwise almost perfect NB8 rom) could mean you couldn't be save anymore from someone taking over your phone unnoticed using root authorization.

As said those reboots most certaintly are caused by a bug in AOSP code itself - but in fact they seem to be mainly triggered by Knox 2.0. Otherwise a lot more phones other than S4 or N3 should be involved.
As we will never know fpr sure if and when Google/Samsung will solve the real reason of this problem and "removing" Knox 2.0 seems to help, it would be very nice of you (juzzy16, nm8, sneazy) to perhaps add another comment in 2-3 weeks about reboot behaviour again including the rom version you are using and what exactly of Knox you had removed.:good:
Hi Guys,
I flashed the latest 5.0.1 Lollipop firmware (N910FXXU1BOC3) last week to my N910F Note 4.
Everything has been working okay. Until yesterday where the phone is constantly awake.
I have uninstalled all 3rd party apps and booted into safe mode yet it still shows as constantly awake in the power saving settings section.
I have tried using airplane mode, removing the battery for 10 minutes . Restarting multiple times to no avail......
Does Anyone have any suggestions?

Reflash the firmware again and do a full set up as if it was a brand new device.

I shall try that when I get home. I restored my phone from a backup after I originally flashed 5.0.1.
This time I shall keep it as a fresh firmware flash.

hi ,
your above post reminds me of my experience recently,with........BOC3
i upgraded from Android v 4.4.4 to BOB4 lollipop ( dirty flash ,no wipe, no factory reset ,
no problems at all .My device was running smooth ,no errors etc. battery ok .)
Flashed fom BOB4 to BOC3, i resetted my device etc .root recovery etc .
for a while everything was running fine,after a few days ,i started to have a bad wakelock .
Device was awake most of the time .
Lucky i was able to id/pinpoint culprit with" BetterBatteryStats " and Gsam battery monitor .
It was a system process something with....... Samsung security Filezip log..?
As i had an old app on hand "DisableService"( root ) and traced the process and unticked 3 relevant processes ( lucky guess ? ) and my wakelock is solved .Battery usage much better etc
BOC3 is just as good and stable as my previous v4.4.4 and BOB4...!!
So sometimes dirty flash works ok and sometimes flashing,then an factory reset..etc etc does not help.!
good luck

Have this issue myself with a N910F on 5.0.1 BOC3 (N910FXXU1BOC3 - CSC TDP). Without much Screen on time i get about 50% battery usage after 9h (usually when I get home from the office). It's not bad, but I would still wonder what the battery life would be like if I did not have the device constantly awake.
I would not want to root the device in order to avoid tripping the KNOX counter.
Is there any way to find and remove the wakelock culprit without rooting the device ?
I updated to 5.0.1 BOC3 from 4.4.4 ANK4 from Odin, wiping the device before and after.
Any ideas on how to proceed without tripping KNOX ?

Thanks for the reply, but wanted to know what are you reffering to as google backup. Are you talking about the google sync for contacts, gmail, calendar, drive etc ?
Because on the device i have 2 google accounts that have gmail sync and another google account with gmail, contacts, drive and calendar.
I have disabled google+ photo backup.

There is a menu backup inside settings. Where it syncs wifi passwords etc with Google... I do not know how it is called in English because I use it with Greek names... But I think you can find it easily..

Seems that the wakelock issue is a thing of luck.
I have disabled some more sync options and additional stuff like Multi Window and On-Body Detection SmartLock but i had the same issue with the phone being constantly awake.
Every time i disabled a new feature, did a phone restart. What i noticed is that sometimes after the restart, the wakelock problem goes away, sometime the phone is still constantly awake. So from my point of view, without rooting the Note 4, i can say it's pure luck after a phone restart.
I'm loving that now i see 23% battery consumption after 12h with an estimated of 2 Days left - without power saver. It sure beats the 50% consumption after 8h with 8h left. But i still have to admin, with a constant wakelock on the device, the resolution of the screen, the battery life is .. WOW

Signing out of Google in the settings page then rebooting and signing back in stops the device being always awake. However, it seems Google Services is very buggy and for me the wake happens again after a few days randomly.
Happens with 5.1.1 too. Not rooted
Hi everyone,
Until recently I've been using a KitKat based ROM and I was pretty OK with how my NOTE 3 SM-9005 was performing. However, a few days ago I decided to try a Lollipop based ROM and the problems started. I had similar problems with 3 different ROMs with great reviews. My battery went, for example, from 100% to 15% in ONE HOUR while streaming from YouTube. It never did that before. Also, It sometimes gives a "system stopped responding" error or something like that (it's like the equivalent of explorer.exe crashing on Windows) and after a few seconds it starts working again. Other system apps crash as well every now and then and sometimes the phone just decides to restart by itself.
I initially used Philz recovery and after the initial errors I switched to TWRP and started from scratch. I completely wiped my system internal space before flashing and, of course, I wiped dalvik cache and cache before and after flashing the ROM. I only used recommended gapps. Also, I did not restore any system apps. I started from scratch after the installation and the problem is the same.
To be more exact, I tries flashing so far the following ROMS, experiencing more or less the same problems on each:
temasek's UNOFFICIAL CM12.1
AryaMod V5.4 TW Lollipop Official BOB6
BlissPop 3.5 Unofficial
I also tried the Dirty Unicorns v9.4 ROM from the Original Android Development section but this one went on a reboot loop initially after the first restart so it never really even installed.
At this point I believe I might have done something that I should't have, but it seems strange because this is not the first time I am flashing a new ROM and I never had problems in the past. Also, my NOTE 3 SM-9500 did not have any problem on my previous KitKat ROM. Did I miss something? Should I have used another kernel? If I understood correctly, the ROMs come with a recommended kernel already. If this is not the problem, what could it be? Should I have done any additional thing before flashing a Lolipop ROM after using a KitKat ROM?
I now installed an app for trying to find out what exactly drains my battery but this is not the only problem. The system itself is really unstable.
I would really appreciate some help, suggestions, or opinions. I really don't know what else should I be doing at this point.
Thanks a lot!
Apparently is the media server eating all that battery (currently 68%).
I will format the SD card hoping this fixes the issue.....but could this have something to do with the system error and, sometimes, restarts?
Well I really don't know what to say! A lot of people report battery problems on 5.0 just because they didn't wipe the phone while coming from KK! But you did, so that's no go. Battery life on LP is much better than KK for me, at least 20% better if not more. And I didn't face any system crashing issues either! Don't really know what's going on with you mate.
Someone suggested that maybe I shoud update the bootloader and modem to a Lollipop version but I really couldn't find any info on how to do that.
Formatting the SD card just slightly reduced the battery drain. The phone is still discharging like crazy. Any suggestion on how to update the bootloader and modem?
Thank you.
HI
recently flashed the new version of cf (with 5.1.1 support) now experiencing Some bugs like the multiwindow it goes on everytime no matter if i toggle it off or not , and phone overheating really bad and battery is going down really fast , tried fixing wakelocks and do some formatting and still the same (also securestorage is false) , any advice ?????
(problem coming from the root because i didnt installed any app with root access yet)
also wondering if these over-heating would do any harm to battery life??

Might be simple, but have you actually tried resetting the phone completely and re-rooting it?
Also, overheating can cause battery drain. The throttling of the CPU does require some power, so if you're phone is always running hot, yes, you will notice this.
