MJ7 Note 3 Exynos wakelock culprit found!

Yesterday I charged the phone 100% after rurning off the charger kept it untouched for 30 minutes lost 1% battery cause of wakelock.
I had not rebooted the phone for a few days so some apps I used where still running like a dictionary I use which prevents the phone from sleeping.
I used the phone for 70 minutes to watch videos on MX Player for 68 minutes and using tapatalk for 2 minutes then restarted the phone before I went to bed. I had 86% battery left & It was 1.10 am then.
Today I again started using the phone at 12.05 pm or so & I was amazed that my battery was at 83%

Conclusion: The wakelock is not the fault of Google' Android OS but it's a but that left unresolved by Samsung which does not kill apps completely after using them.
I had removed the dictionary from current tasks, killed running apps using both task manager's RAM Cleanup & Clean Master's memory boost yet the app didn't get killed completely & it's Battery permission which states that the dictionary will prevent the phone from sleeping triggered the stay awake(wakelock) of the Android OS. When I restarted the phone the dictionary got killed completely and thus the phone ate very very less battery.
This was just one app, we have multiple apps inatalled on our phone which prevent it from sleeping.
I really would like to report this to Samsung before they put KitKat out for Exynos Note 3, posting here since at least there are many people here who can help me do so. So that we can have a better user experience with our phone in the future.
Closing Statement: in short poor Task Management & Apps not geeting killed completely trigger Wakelocks.
Solution: Restart the phone before you keep it unused for long durations so you wint suffer from Wakelocks.

[Q] What is com.android.systemui and why is it gobbling so much battery?

Since flashing Carbon ROM two nights ago, I've been seeing com.android.systemui consistently at or near the top of my battery stats screen (screen shot below). When I was on Cataclysm, I never noticed this. Is this something I should worry about/deal with?

You've only used 3,% of your battery. See what it looks like later in the day. It should be less than 5%. If it isn't then yes, something is not right. Turn location off until you need it. That week save battery.

the % used in the graph is the % used of total battery drain.
you only lost 3% total battery and 49% of that 3% was used by the system.
there is no problem as of now.

Check out lockscreen notifications if you have pocket mode on it keeps the proximity sensor on all the time and will cause a larger than normal drain.

This is very helpful. Thanks -- I'll try disabling lockscreen notifications/pocket mode.

You cannot tell anything from stats after only a few percent of battery drain. Look again after you've burned 90 percent off the battery.

It's a bug. Reboot helps some cleaning cache others. Google know about it. There's a long thread on this

This isn't right surely my phone gets way too hot as well and I'm only browsing social media so far I'm really not impressed with this phone as my sms texts crash too and I can't delete conversation or it takes way too long to open a conversation.

In the first screenshot what is your screen time?

Probably not even an hour mate, it's ridiculous

Strange... Your phone came with Android 5.0.2 preinstalled? Now I see you're using 4g ... For example now I have 54% batterry with 2h 40 (music,web browsing on 3g+). I heard the Android 5 is a major battery drainer (especially if you re staying on 4g). Try to make a few full discharge/recharge cycles or try a hard reset.
For example I don't have a battery problem even that I'm running Android 5. But I've manually flashed it( from Android 4.4.4) . This is my usage for today:

Ahh I see well I'm running the 5.04 I think, I can't update the software so im presuming it is the latest one, and sync where would I find this? Sorry I'm new to androids. You see yours is on about 50% and you can still get 10hours+ mine is on 67% at the moment and it's saying it won't last another 4 hours. I think I'll let it run completely dead them put it on charge

Settings->Accouts-> and uncheck auto-sync data. And about battery predictions they are not so accurate,at least at the first 1-2 weeks... Trust me this is a great phone in matter of battery just give it time. With proper settings and medium usage(4 h 30m screen time) you can get something like this:
This is my usage data that I had 2 weeks ago . Medium usage,web browsing,fb and some pictures .

Ah I see, that's the dream right there lol. This is the second day im using it, it's lasted longer then it did yesterday but it's nowhere near yours lol. I really hope it adjusts it's self by the end of the week.
Also do you find you're phone becomes warm to hot just browsing the Web?!

Depends... On chrome after 20-30 min but I also listen music and it's not that hot . Also it's summer and the screen stays almost at maximum light and that heats it up too .

Almost every phone contains a little bit of hardware that can measure the current flow into or out of your battery, in mA or µA. We track this data continuously, but also segment it by screen state (on vs off) and which app was in the foreground. With this data, you can see clearly how your battery was used.
Battery life is probably the most common concern for smartphone users: some are finding it hard to get through a full day on a single charge, others find that after a year or so of use, their battery drains much faster than before, and the issues just keep lining up.
AccuBattery is a relatively new battery life monitor for Android devices (it supports the latest Samsung Galaxy S7s, Google Pixels, and so on) that focuses on accurate battery stats, but also on a research-based suggestion to avoid fully charging your battery.
AccuBattery allows you to set alarm that you actually charge your battery to 80%(Can be modified) and comes with clever tools to let you know when you've reached that level, so that you can unplug. This way, you can get the full 500 cycles(More than 1000, if you charge from 30 to 80 ) out of your battery, until you start to see a noticeable drop in battery life.
I still have my two year old Z2. It still holds battery like a new phone( with slight less capacity due to heat generated due to flashing roms). I used to charge my phone between 25%-80%.​

Press thanks if I've helped you!!:fingers-crossed:

Inspired by AccuBattery I have created a raspberry pi 3 image which can stop charging your phone automatically after it reaches a certain percentage. Works on non-rooted phones.

Looks very nice!

Question Adaptive Battery performance

While Pixel phones are generally known for creating little interfearance with app perfoamance, in terms of things like managing battery life, I noticed a rather vague option where the OS will improve your phones's battery life by doing things probabbly like sleeping and or ricksting background usage for unused apps and the like.
From what I understand the 7 isn;t the first phone to have this feature as I saw people talking about it ont he 6 series too, though what I was manily wondering is for people who have this turned on or have used it int he past, if they have noticed any issues with some of their apps, such as missed notifactions?
I turned mine off more as a just in case, as comming from Samsung previpously who is nortiorus for being very heavy handed when it comes to their battery savng measures, I'm just wondering how much impact this option has (if any at all), so if it might need to start being listed as a potential problem to check in places such as don't kill my app, or if Google somehow manages to make it a lot less intrusive?
I haven't been able to find any technical infomation on what excatly the feature does to trey and determine just how invavse it might be.

I've never turned it off since it got introduced. No issues at all. It's supposed to learn how you use your phone, so I'd imagine you shouldn't have missed notifications. And if that's the reason my 7 Pro gets it's 8-10+ hours of SoT, I'd keep on using it.

Never turned off and I think that MUST stay on, because the battery life is really good.
Without it would certainly not be so good.

I am using the way adaptive charging tuned off and adaptive battery tuned on
