It is something you installed or something on your setting up the phone.
this phone battery is amazing , trust me it is.
I get screen on times , unthinkable to my previous phones with brightness way way higher
so.. just try to figure out what is eating your batt and why.
edit:
then again you didnt start your battery log with 100% batt
and your drain was due to a very phone cal (?) With screen off, but your network signal suck really bad, maybe is from there ? But even with low coverage I find it hard to imagine that drain.
But then again.. never had low coverage ..

Yeah I can assure you it's something in your settings that is giving you poor life. You didn't give much description of what they are so it's tough for me to help you with what to fix, or how much knowledge you already have. I recommend BetterBatteryStats and Battery Mix for starters.

Install BBS (Better Battery Stats) and find the rogue application that is causing battery drain.
Battery life for me is amazing. I get close to 28-30 hours with mid - heavy usage.

Your signal during this two hour call was awful. Keeping a connection while not using the phone is a battery sucker in these conditions. I imagine it is much more so when you are actually on the phone. I'd suspect that as the culprit, as the radio has to be pumped up to the max constantly, instead of every minute or so.

I had a note 2 on same network and never saw this kind of drain. I think this qualcomm chip is ****. In my settings my cpu was at 2.27ghz for 1 hour 43 mins! Why was my cpu maxed out while making a simple call.?

Battery drain problems... funky wakelocks... Please help!

I'm having a funky wakelock issue. Over the last couple of days I've had a PhoneApp partial wakelock that's been running almost continuously while the phones been off the charger. Today a new one related to the phone popped up. I've attached screen shots and dump files from better battery stats so hopefully someone can help me figure out what's going on.

I also have the log cat file if needed.

Do you have any MOD that enables the Torch/Flashlight to work from the lockscreen by long pressing volume up or down? I used to have that on and it killed battery from my experience

I do have that mod enabled although I have had it enabled for months and have not had any issues with it draining battery.

Yeah I would disable it for process of elimination to see if that's the cause.
Or another route is do you remember if you restarted your phone since you unplugged it off of the charger? Try to restart your phone everytime you take it off of a charger with the MOD enabled to see if that corrects it

I don't know why this fixed it but it did. I wonder what the developer changed in the coding to cause this to be an issue now

I read that not only the long press for torch but also the long press for music controls did the same thing. Thought it would be a great idea until I read about the power drain

With the note 3's massive battery I was still finishing an 18 hour day with 40-50 percent remaining but anything that hits battery life, in particular anything that keeps the phone from deep sleeping, has got to go.
For me it's not so much about day to day battery life as it is about long term battery health

[Q] Is this normal battery drain?

Ok guys, I keep hearing people ranting and raving about this phone's battery, however I feel that mine is either faulty or everyone else is exaggerating. On a typical day, of normal usage, heavy web browsing, occasional 10 minute game session, I can get about 4 hours screen on time, and about 14 hours total time before it's dead and I need to charge. I have minimal wake-locks now that I've figured the majority of them out, and keep location services on device sensor only. My device is deep sleeping more than being awake, and will last quite a while while asleep, battery doesn't seem to abnormally drain while asleep. Every time I've been able to track it down to a wake-lock issue if it has.
It's draining very fast (it seems) while screen is on though. Wifi calling is almost always on the majority of the time.
Any ideas? Is this way off? Or is this the norm?
I've done the usual factory restores and all that, and still no improvement.
Thanks!
Example:

Are you using a custom kernel? You could try dorimanx's and heavily skew the CPU towards a lighter load
I used to get 4h on screen time for quite a while, but k realised that it was cos of 4G @ and the way I used my phone. If you read a lot and hardly launch or close anything the battery life gets better very quickly

That seems about right.
On stock I get between 4 and 6 hours screen time and about 24 hours on battery. Being on WiFi rather than 3g helps a lot and turning down the screen brightness.

Do you guys have similar averages? (Seen at bottom of image)

Hello, after period with marshmallow, my phone was over heated and battery drain was awful.
I installed gsam battery monitor and found that nova launcher consume 40%.
I uninstalled nova and phone battery is great ! And no more over heat.

Everyone that has that issue with nova, please add review at play store, hoping they will fix that.

It's just 0.2 percent for me so far. Maybe something to do with permissions

Yes, please post app usage and screen on time. Thank you.

I'm at 61% right now

Here's my SOT from the second full charge. One of the best that I've seen with my usage.

Good mate but you charged it a bit

Not bad at all for this battery/hardware combo.

Stock ROM rooted with Magisk and Force Doze

At 55% battery I'm looking at 4 hours 11 minutes screen on time. Usage split between YouTube and chrome.

I got down to 12% battery, had 6:50 SOT. Youtube, loudspeaker music/podcast, lots of Chrome, some social media. Really happy so far.

Straight usage. 100 -> 49
4:43 of SoT
YouTube and Chrome.
I have force doze so I think during standby it'll flatline. Just can't stop using my phone though.

Screenshots speaks for it self

This is great, would be better if next time you provide us with screenshots please :good:

Here's mine from yesterday. Almost 6hrs S.O.T with 50% battery remaining.

First full day with device.
Includes 1.5 hours of GPS and Bluetooth streaming
Very happy with results.
Sent from my HTC U11 using XDA-Developers Legacy app

I'm very happy with my results after first full charge and purposely pushing it to test the battery.
High accuracy and all battery consuming features on.:good::good:

First days of normal usage since I received my U11 one week ago. Got to say I'm honestly impressed and like what I got.

Battery life looks great
