4.4.2 update and battery life fix - Galaxy Note 3 General

Hi,
I know this subject comes up in a variety of topics and it's really hard to sort the wood from the chaff.
So my "cool story bro" is that I had massively poor battery life following KitKat upgrade and have tried many of those battery saver/greenify apps with no resultant improvement.
I bit the bullet and did a factory reset after I had backed up everything with Kies.
End result is battery life is back to normal today.
Cheers,
Joe

But kies doesn't backup app data.
I want to do a factory reset but can't backup app data. I've used helium before but half the app data backups were corrupted so I lost them.

Hello, I've had the Note 3 for just under a week and this battery problem is insanely frustrating. Android System uses more than 30% of the battery. I've tried removing the battery, turning off location, wiping the cache and finally doing a factory reset today to no avail. Android System uses around 36% of the battery and AndroidOS uses 11%. I am on N9005 with Kitkat 4.4.2.

Hi,
I would uninstall all apps you don't desperately need and then do another factory reset. Have you put a lot on it?
Also was the phone new or 2nd hand? Could have a worn out battery in there.
Yours,
Joe

It's brand new. But I got it from another country and can not return it. And no I have nothing on it except a few images taken with the camera from the past few days and they're on dropbox.
I was going to wait a little before doing another factory reset. On this cycle it went down from 75% to 45% in 3h 20m with Android System using 27% of the battery, Android OS using 11% and the screen using 21% with 1h 49m screen time. Is that right for this phone, or is it discharging too fast?
Thanks.

Depends on what you did with the screen time. Movies would drain it a fair chunk I'd guess. If it's new then surely the Samsung warranty can be used if it does turn out to be the worst case scenario of a bad one (which is very rare so I'd expect we can get this sorted with the help of the community here).

It is normal if u are running android 4.4.2. Android system takes about 20 to 30% of total battery life. You will get similar result although u use the best custom Rom and kernel.
Sent from N9005 Tweaked Rom & Colonex Kernel R22

I have fixed the problem to a degree.. right now Android System takes 19% of battery and Android OS takes up 10%. What worked for me was disabling an app called "Universal Daemon(EUR)" and changed keep wifi on during sleep to never. The phone used to always hover at the 300 Mhz cpu frequency and never go into deep sleep, right now it does go into deep sleep. Tho I think I'm really unsatisifed with Touchwiz I guess I'll eventually root my phone and replace it with something that isn't as much of a resource hog.

uptime. share your record

i am curious about achievable uptimes. e.g without reboots. because some reboots may be missed,I usually put an icon on notification bar (drocap or connectbot), when it disappear I check the recent applications and usually discover a reboot.
my record is 112 hours
usual uptime is less than 36 hours
Sent from my Milestone XT720 using Tapatalk
By uptime do you mean how much it lasts on one charge? Or do you mean how long youve been without a reboot and just charging your battery inbetween?
without reboot
I charge my nightly
Sent from my Milestone XT720 using Tapatalk
For me the longest was probably around 100 hours. I use the fjfalcon kernel so sometimes when my phone gets a lil sluggish, I reboot using adb and have to fastboot into the kernel. So I guess 36 hours is the normal uptime for me.
Not using fastboot until all these little kinks get worked out, bc I can't adb at work. Would say around 24-36. Would definately say once a day. Maybe in morning or at night bc of market hangs or just plain freezing.
183 hours and still working
It will turn out that the sdcard was the problem.
The previous almost 112 hours record, was with umount-ed sdcard (both partitions, ext2 and fat).
This uptime (almost 184 hours and counting up) is with sdcard removed (physically from the slot)
p.s. by working i mean even without warm reboot, quick reboot or whatever name is the process of system_server restarting
20 minutes. I reflash my phone a lot!
I reboot usually once week

battery life?
what bout battery life? cos im not sure if my battery is damaged or something. usually i spend most of the time in one app at a time, like facebook, twitter or read books on adobe reader. then about 1-2 hours later battery drops from full to half. is that usual?

Try recalibrating ur battery with a "battery calibration" app. i had the exact same problem; my battery only lasted 1 day at most. after calibrating, i was able to get two days worth. btw i live in singapore so our phones should be the same..... hope that helps!
My XT have a cronic issue.. i dont know why but it reboot itself averytime... my record was 24hrs with miuixt, but sometimes it reboot like 4 times in 1 hour...

I was coming up on you here real soon but turns out my wife's XT's battery is crapping out, so I'll have to pull mine to restart hers and lose my uptime. Anyway by end of day I should hit close to 175hrs.

That's great! My phone is now heading towards uptime of 300hrs.
Once I reach that milestone(hopefully) I'll post the results.

Finally

Battery now dying...

So I'm like wtf all of a sudden my battery is like at 40% by noon, and I recharge and it gets to the same within a couple of hours }
I don't get it not even a year yet
BTW I'm stock froyo/ rooted
Bad battery ? Any one else experience this? I have juice defender set CPU
Battery stats say main cause is "cell standby" any tricks to fix this?
No I'm not going to gb
meh...
Well, in the end, that's the best that froyo can do for the G2X...
I had Froyo and i pulled off 6hrs, when i got GB i was able to pull off 8, so yea, juice defender really wouldn't give you that much more battery life, the best shot is to upgrade the ROM.
i would consider updating it :/ i've never had froyo but since i've been using gb i get 15+ hours out of my phone and that's with heavy texting, internet browsing, some netflix watching and a little gaming. but cell standby seems to be my biggest problem too i wish i could fix that

Running froyo I was getting at least 14-16 hours.
Usually bad battery life can be accredited to less-than-optimal user settings, heavy device usage, or there's a rogue app that's sucking your battery down.

and as you can see i still have about half a battery left. the only precaution i really take is that my brightness is almost down to zero. and on my old phone it used to show in the battery settings if i used a certain application such as internet or ebuddy. i have no idea why it won't show those on this device so you can't see my heavy internet usage, gaming and some netflix watching.
and just for reference i'm running complete stock no root or anything. i'm now on one day and two hours worth of battery with 30% still left

Hey OP, can you post a list of your apps? Use listables. I want to compare it against mine. If there are any similar apps then I'm going to disable/uninstall mine and check battery life and report back.
Have you tried booting into recovery and erasing battery data? That greatly improved battery life on my Nexus S after it had undergone multiple ROM flashes.

The ROM you're using is a huge matter. With CM7, i couldn't go a day without charging. Now, with MIUI, I'm pretty sure I can get 3 days, with normal brightness, and my normal use, which is email and texting.

I'll try tonight! Just letting it fully charge, then wiping/calibrating!
I found that if I turn data off sync off the battery lasts over twice as long. I don't need it consistently on, so I turn it on when I'm not busy. Works for me

You know what I find weird. It doesn't matter if I turn data off or not cell standby will still use the same amount of battery and my battery still drains at the same rate.

Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I get 2 days of regular use and over 3 days with little usage on my 1800mAh battery, you should get LOADS more on yours, 4 days at a minimum.
Charge up to 100%, let it rest on charger for 2 more hours.
Go to recovery and wipe battery stats.
Use the device as normal but do not charge until it dies at 0%.
Charge to 100% and again let it rest a bit, then resume your normal usage.
Every once in a while or after flashing a new ROM, let it discharge to 0 to get accurate readings.
And also be aware that google GPS-based apps have problems on CM7 based ROMs and the GPS sometimes stays awake or some such bug. It doesn't show on battery usage graph but every time you use google maps, google goggles or similar I recommend rebooting because there's a chance it's slowly draining your battery in the background.

Just a thought: Do you really use google maps so much that it can account for 22% of energy consumption on a 3.6k mah battery? That seems kind of excessive to me.
I mention this since I used to have problems with google maps starting on its own in the background and it really drained the battery like crazy. (oddly enough it would only start whenever i opened the stock mail client.)
The latest google maps does not run in the back ground even after exiting like previous versions of maps (you would have to either reboot the phone or use a 3rd party app to manually kill everything related to maps).
So my recommendation is to do what the above said with the calibration and then make sure you are on the latest maps.

A lot of people give the advice to drain the battery until it dies. Very poor advice, and you can kill the battery that way. Just drain to 20% or so. No need to go any lower, its not going to make the battery meter any more accurate.

[Q] Help with identifying Nexus S i9020a Battery Drain

Running Stock ICS 4.1.2 on Nexus S i9020A on AT&T US.
The battery was fine till about a few months back, but of late, it is draining @ around 8-10% per hour on standby!. I originally thought JB was causing the drain, and switched to ICS, and finally to GB. But the drain is consistent across all three.
There is also accelerated battery drain if my phone is completely switched off. If I leave the battery in the phone after powering off, the battery goes from 100 - 0 in less than 4 hours. Thinking the battery might have gone bad, I bought another oem battery, but that is exhibiting the same behavior.
This leads me to think there might be a hardware issue with my phone. I am tired of keeping the phone plugged in at all times, and am ready to throw this out the window and get another phone. As a last ditch effort, I wanted to post this here to see if I can get any kind of feedback/confirmation on this before I buy another phone. Other users are reporting 1-2% battery drain on standby, so 8-10% drain is unacceptable by any standard.
I have attached some screenshots from today when the battery was at 20% after about 9 hours. For this test, I did the following last night:
1. uninstalled all apps I downloaded
2. turned off WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, sync, auto brightness ( set to the minimum brightness)
I charged the phone fully, and then left it on standby, with minimal usage - I think I made a 2 minute call, checked my email once, and read some rss feeds for about 5 minutes in the 9 hours I tested it.

I know I'm not giving any advice here but I just wanted to let you know I'm in the same boat. No matter what ROM GB/ICS/JB I lose too much battery per hour with the phone just on standby. There's no explanation for %10 battery drain per hour with pretty much everything off (wifi, data, gps, nfc, background data, etc)
I have tried everything and now I must admit I've given up. I'm just going to ride out CM 10.1 until I can decide on a new phone, most likely the Nexus 4 or HTC One.

Yeah, your phone doesn't seem to be doing much while asleep. 20 minutes screen on, 35 minutes active, yet battery down to 21%. My battery would be at 90% with that sort of usage. Since you changed the battery (I'll assume it's a decent quality battery, although a cheap battery could be in cause), there's not much left.
Have you tried switching 3G off? 3G seems to SUCK the life out of these Nexus S batteries like no tomorrow.
But I suspect it's a hardware issue with the Nexus S phones. I have WiFi, Bluetooth, 3G and auto-sync all shut off and a static wallpaper and I will lose 20% of my battery in 7-8 hours.
Battery is kernel related. Try changing your I/o scheduler to row and governor to smartassv2. If you don't have those options then look for a kernel that does...air kernel and matrix should suffice.
NO SOLUTION so far
A friend was having the same issue, gave him the battery of my nexus s ... it lasted him for 7-8hrs max whereas it gives me 1 day~ on 2G and normal use without gaimng . So my guess like his mobile your mobile may have some component which is short and draining out the battery . I have been trying to look around for answer but so far no luck. So better check it with another batteryif you can before purchasing a new one.
Vampire test
If anyone is investigating why their Nexus S suddenly starts draining the battery in a matter of hours, BEFORE spending a ton of time (like I did) trying to diagnose what software problem you might have, do the vampire test, as described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42586314
I wasted days before coming across this test on this forum, and it proved it had to be a hardware fault.
I have two healthy batteries, both hold a charge for days (probably weeks) when not inserted in the phone, but pop one in the phone, leave it powered off, and within 6 hrs it's dead. So frustrating, and sad to see this phone go.

Phone overheating - very poor battery life

My N5, running XtraSmooth + stock Google kernel recently started heating up a lot. Now I know its summer time and naturally it would tend to get hot, but my father's N5 is always very cool to the touch. Even in an air conditioned house running a stability test brought my N5 to temps as high as 86°, whilst the other N5 was just about hitting 50°. My battery gets notably hot too, and of course that hinders my battery life too. Does anyone know what's going on?

My guess would be you have an app/process running full wack on your phone running up the CPU and draining battery. Look at battery stat screen maybe that will help. Try factory reset and run it empty for 30mins or so (no account no apps) then set up one account and app at a time.
Android malware/virii are on the rise, and I was hit with something that did this but did not show up on the battery monitor of any app.
I strongly suggest an immediate full wipe and clean flash, as well as changing your passwords if you truly want to be safe.

Hey, I tried that earlier today but to no avail, battery stats look normal, Facebook is the only third party app that uses battery, but only 2% at that too. It's only kept the phone awake for 50s, and CPU total is 2m so it doesn't look like its Facebook, but my battery still idles at 40-45°. I wiped and started again from scratch but first I let the phone set for 2 hours to let ART finish carrying out any optimisations so the phone could cool down and perform optimally. Antutus stress test still ramped my CPU all the way to 80° whilst the other N5 hit 71° this time around, it quickly went back down and cooled off quickly yet my Nexus took forever.

Mines stared to do it too I'm on stock and ElementalX. I've hit 85°C and as it's still rising turned it off. I've seen a few reports of this. I've no idea what it is but suspect an app update. I've used greenfly and Amplify to lock everything down and it seems to work. Its at 52 and charging ATM. Until I did that I couldn't use the phone and charge at the same time

I just changed ROMs altogether, even after wiping I was still getting ridiculous temperature gains, more worryingly so for my battery. I remembered during winter to keep the phone cool I added adhesive copper to the battery and CPU, I applied thermal paste and made the copper thicker, I also *removed* the copper from the battery, since during summer time it'll only make things worse. That seemed to have worked since my battery isn't anywhere near as hot anymore. The CPU still gets very hot - around 80° still, but it seems to level out much quicker than before.
