Hi
I have an g9350 (china edge) and i bought it, as you can guess, in China. At first it was ok, holded battery for 2-3 days of semi-usage.
When i returned back home, i installed an s9 ported 8.0 oreo rom. (Aurora v32) (my stock was 7.0 N)
Then, my battery drain got much stronger, and my phone can't keep even a day on semi-usage, with battery saving turned on!
I tried going to detailed battery info to check what was draining the battery buuuut..... there isn't such option on oreo 8.0 (what?)
So, I would really like to stay on oreo, since I like it, but I need to find the solution to extreme battery drain.
Anyone know anything that may help me?
Maybe it is related to the ported Rom or the Kernel.
Have you tried to flash a Stock Oreo Rom and check the Battery drain again?

I have a brand spanking new Phone and i would like to know what the best and most stable stock rom version is.
my Phone is a EU open Phone and currently has the V10a firmware and first possible update is V10e
id like to stay on 4.2/4.3 rater then kitkat and want the most stable battery life i can get..
Just like my lg 4x hd where V10h was the best rom im facing 1 what seems to be typical lg issue and thats random drains at random times.
I for example charged my Phone last night took it off the charger and in the graph in 12 hours it drained 7 % of which 1% was idle drain (no simcard in it yet , wifi on everything else off) it drained really slow as expected apart from 6 hours in then it drained 6% in notime and went back to draining slowly.
my 4x hd had the same random drains and i never got it fixed so im really bummed out this lg also has it.
its a brand spanking new clean Phone nothing messed with still straight out of the box.
if this a known problem and if so what version rom fixes it.
and are there newer roms with better battery life. or is it all equal and pointless to update.
the update to v10e just saiy "internet" under patchnotes which is verry vague and i know nothing about what 10b,c,d have fixed or caused nore can i find any information about it...
so any info concerning this issues/updates would be elcome as i ahve bin unable to find anything about it and dont want to update as downgrading is not something im comfortable with.
Hi all,
So I recently bought a new genuine note 4 Battery off of Amazon (bargain at £12!) and I'm just wondering about what's the best way to start using it?
The reason I ask is currently i'm currently running stock 4.4.4 BTU (before I was running 5.01. BTU) and I have the issue with the battery either going from 15% to 0% in minutes or sometimes it just turns off at 10% (like literally the phone just dies)
I've tried everything from a restore, new firmware, old firmware and event reset the battery status via the service menu. I'm just worried that i'll insert this new battery and may have the same issues, perhaps I'm looking into things too much?
Or should I give one of the new 5.1.1 roms a go?
Thanks.

ive only had that battery issue when i was using an old iphone 4s, i think a new battery should behave like a new battery and not have magic disappearing charge %
Yeah, I think it might just be the battery. Give the 5.1.1 roms a go. I installed one on my Z2 and it was better battery wise. I am still waiting for the update on my Note 4 G variant, I hope it will also make things better.
Hello fellas. I am having a note 3 N900 exynos variant which i had bought in dec 2013. I had rooted my fon and was going smoothly. I was fascinated by the charming looks of lollipop and i updated my os. All that glitters is not gold- the update literally taught me that. Very poor battery performance (100 to 0 in some 8 to 10h with screen time of 3h ,just moderate use with internet on. No gaming, no movies etc). I decided to buy a new battery thinking it will solve the issue and bought it online frm Amazon aftr reading all the reviews. I got the product today ans its much worse than my original battery. By 5h the battery is 38% !!. I am asking for a refund for the battery which does look original in its case ,serial no etc. Now i feel the major battery eater is lollipop itself and now i am thinking of going back to kitkat. I have a few questions, pls do answer them.
1. Can i revert back to kitkat like how i updated using odin and the firmware frm sammobiles ??
2. Will rooting the lollipop and installing greenify ,tb etc and removing the bloatwares help improve the battery life and reduce the ram usage ??
3. I would like to know wats the battery life of similar users with a 2yr old note 3
4. Please give detailed description of reverting back to kitkat ,things to be taken care not to brick the device
Tons of thanks in advance ☺
If I were you, I would give Temasek's CM12.1 (forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/development/hlte-spr-vzw-temaseks-unofficial-t2953375) (IF IT SUPPORTS EXYNOS... ^^) build a try. I use it on my daily driver incl commercial usage for work. I take it off the charger @7:30 AM and later the day at about 9:30 PM I have about 60 % left. I would not recommend to hop back to an even more outdated OS at all. Samsung's support for our Note 3 is gone and if you wanna keep secure and up to date you really should try Cyanogen Or Temasek's UNOFFICIAL Cyanogen.
Otherwise... yes, you can revert back the way you updated by Odin. Just be sure that you really loaded the correct Firmware of course.
Btw, You can check this one out, too. Its a heavily de-bloated TW Firmware based on official Samsung. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=57756091) (IF IT SUPPORTS EXYNOS... ^^) I used it before I witnessed Stagefright security problems and YES battery thanked it a bit compared to official builds ^^

Turn off your phone, and then turn it on pressing and holding Volume Up, Home, and Power button at the same time until you see a warning. Then press Volume Up to continue, and navigate using volume keys and select wipe cache/factory reset with the Home button, then reboot.
Please note that by doing this all your data will be lost.
After doing the above-mentioned download Advanced Battery Calibrator, and Repair Battery Life.
For now I am on ABC ROM oreo with Franco kernel, and having ok battery life getting probably around 12-16% drain per hour of use on screen time (fk kernel manager battery monitor) However I want to have best possible battery life.
Don't really care if missing some features, or security wise if that's so important.
Would downgrading from Oreo to instead Nougat, or Marshmallow be smart battery wise?
If I go to Nougat I will fix purenexus rom of course, but unsure if going from 8.1.0 (Oreo) to a lower android version would help getting the battery even better?
Ive been trying to go down that road myself. currently trying CHROMA, (MM) been going pretty well... Sots been better than oreo, but its deepsleep hasnt so ive been trying to fix that.
Hi, i have SM-N910U device and the original new battery. But, why my battery draining so fast? Currently i using MM 6.0.1 official. Not rooted device. I’ve done lot of things to keep battery stable. But it seems not working. The battery drained so fast. This is malfunctioned of seri U or what? Thanks for the answer
What do you mean by "original new battery"? Do you mean the original battery that came with the phone? Or you have recently purchased an "original new battery"?
If you have recently purchased a battery it is almost guaranteed not to be an original Samsung battery as they do not make them any more - it is probably fake. Buy a RavPower battery and see how it goes. Same if you're still using the battery that originally came with the phone - get a RavPower. You might also want to try a factory reset and set your phone up clean again - this made a big difference to mine about a year ago when my battery was draining fast.

Three possible curlpits: Your apps, the battery, or the firmware
Battery—fake battery will die fast, according to what others say
Apps—some apps are battery hungry, so find a way to hibernate those with Greenify or Hibernation Manager
Software—Android 6 is the last and worst update for performance and battery life. While it's on KitKat (4.4), its battery life was awesome; fast forward to Lollipop (5.0.1–5.1.1), from 12 hours of Screen On Time (SOT), it got decreased to 8 hours; and fast forward again to Marshmallow (6.0.1), it became from 8 hours to 3 hours. No matter what kernel or battery-saving methods you use, it's futile for a firmware that rots a powerful phone. The only way to fix this is by either using a custom ROM (Refined Nougat, Note 5/7 ported ROMs, etc.), or downgrading your firmware. (Installing KitKat with the latest bootloader prevents you from downgrading).
With a new battery on MM stock and unrooted I was getting 6 hours SOT (Exynos). Dropped off now after using the battery for 18 months, but soon upgrading to Note 9 or 10 anyway.
