Your issue with the battery

isva genuine one. But we cant be 100% sure about the battery healh because of our aging device. Well but what we can say is the excess drain is due to high energy consumption. Due to extra sync services and other bloat shi _.

Apart from looking at ur battery graph. It seems a healthy battery. I would suggest u to chargr ur phone 100% and use it continuously and then check how much total time u are getting with jb. Thats the only way to compare i guess.

Well for u its a battery calibration issue, i am experiencing the same issue since i replaced my previous battery with a new oem one.

I was expecting a solution for this with the update but no use.

*#0228# try to calibrate ur battery with this code.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tdodd:
My battery is original and now ~18 months old. I can get many days life from one charge if I don't use WiFi much. I always have data disabled since I don't have a data plan, but I use WiFi when I need data. I basically only use data for Gmail and browsing. I don't use anything like Facebook, Whatsapp, Flipboard, Currents, G+ or GNow or have weather/news widgets.

With ICS it was the case that I could leave WiFi enabled and not worry much. Now I find it necessary to only turn WiFi on when needed and turn it off straight afterwards.

Here is my current battery performance with my modified (very limited) use of WiFi. As I said, no complaints about JB itself, just WiFi...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] The_Newtype:
I'll test this out, but after I input that code, what should I do next? It simply takes me to what looks like a battery debug screen with text n the bottom that says "Quick Start."
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] qazibasit:
Just quick start it and ur battery will be calibrated
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cr0wnest:
My parents are both on the official Samsung LSE ROM and both are complaining its alot laggier than ICS as well. My dad's phone is flashed with Speedmod kernel and he's still experiencing some lag, although he said battery life is just slightly better. I guess we'll just have to wait for Samsung to come up with better firmwares..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] qazibasit:
Ics was tye beat update samsung could ecwr release. No doubt about that we all are crying after updating to jelly beanm

For all who are complaining about battery life may I suggest Union ROM v6.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hotracer:
ayiusbp for

actually i'm runing LT4 rom, no lags or else for me, except the battery life still short as LSZ !

anyway nice rom
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] crizolli:
Yes, it is.

Battery life is horrendous and the system responsiveness is worse than ICS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CONTACTMC:
I am on sweet rom v7 with c.o.h kernel. ..no lag...great battery life...its like having a new phone...can't recommend giving this combo a try enough.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hotracer:
Thx mate, I'll take a look on this sweet v7 & kernel combo ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DORMIU:
Hey folks, I was also experiencing the same problems as most of you after the update. Battery drain, lagginess, restarts. The battery would only last a max of 12 hours. SwiftKey was so laggy I could not type properly anymore.

There was no doubt that the phone was performing worse than ever. Although I love my Note, for the first time I was seriously considering getting a new phone.

That's until I decided to follow the advice of some people here and do a clean install. I was hesitating to do it because of the 50gb data and configurations stored on the device over the past year.

Anyway, I took the plunge and here's what I did:

. I transferred all the important data to my pc

. Only backed up contacts, sms, call logs, calendars

. removed the memory card

. Factory reset the device

. Wiped cache

. Formatted memory card in the device

It has made a huge difference! Now the phone is fast and reliable again. The battery lasts the whole day with heavy use, no lagginess whatsoever, no more restarts. I'm on stock JB.

So if you are experiencing problems I strongly recommend you give this procedure a try. I hope it helps you too. Just my 0.2.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Drummyman:
I'm about to do the same thing, but I'm lazy about it because even though the performance has slightly decreased, it hasn't become as bad as many people here. I changed Swiftkey for Thumb Keyboard and Chrome for Boat, deactivated G.Now and smart stay, etc. And everything run reasonably fast without too much drain.

My doubt is: Did you flash Philz/CWM before clean install or did you do it without even rooting/custom recovery? Just for facts...

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DORMIU:
I did not root, it was all done as stock.

:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Spotfist:
Am very dissapointed with this update, took ages to come to the UK and then it's a steaming turd anyways. Seriously nothing works! when I first installed it I had multiple external SD partitions the phone didn't know if it was coming or going, loads of apps would just crash for no reason especially if they had to use the exSD for something, the battery was beyond awefull!

Did what most people have suggested and wiped the phone which helped a bit but still it's far worse than ICS, the alarm doesn't work!!! of all the things not to work the alarm being one of the things you really shouldn't get wrong. I get a single note and then it snoozes itself! Battery is still pretty bad although not as bad as when I first installed!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wolfboy47:
Heavy lag and battery drain when connected to mobile data

Hi DORMIU. Thanks for these tips. I tried all of these steps and there was a good improvement in performance initially, but after a few days the phone again became a bit slow, though definitely better than what it was before the factory reset. In my case the the battery drain and the lag are all when I have mobile data/wifi enabled. When the phone doesn't have data connection, its quite fast and the battery drain is normal (as it used to be - 1.5 to 2 days on a full charge).

This made me think that it has something to do with the data connection. I recently read up about fast dormancy and checked up the RRC State using *#0011# and noticed that the RRC State is always at DCH (checked for about 10 mins) and never goes to idle (with FD off) and with FD on, it switches intermittently to FACH and PCH, but quickly gets back to DCH.

All this is with background data off and not using the browser, basically leaving the phone idle. Since DCH consumes the most power, its no wonder that the battery is draining so quickly - down by about 25% in an hour with mobile data enabled

Any ideas on what could be causing this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] luke.k:
Is there really a way to get the battery drain into normal behavior?

Same issue here, googled this thread dissapointed by serious battery drain after update to 2013 April N700XXLT4 German firmware.

I like he JB look and features, google now is nifty, only the battery drain bothers me. CPU Spy says that from last 20 hours left my note was at 14 hrs at 200 MHz, 5 hrs in deep sleep.

I have got JB installed in the laziest way - flashed by odin without ANY wipes etc, installed PhilZ safe kernel + touch recovery immediately. All 180 apps and data are cool, phone performance is quite smooth, but the battery drains more than I was expected.

There is a new 2013 May N7000XXLT5 Hungary firmware at sammobile. Has anybody already tried it?

Any suggestions for my/our situation? Should I:

Wipe all (data, cache, sd, blah blah..) at my current German JB and start from scratch?

Try the new Hungary fw?

Wait for some magic JB update from Samsung?

My question: Is there really a way to get the battery drain into normal behavior now? True solution, not alchemy; for daily use, without compromises. The ideal state like "we have issue, we know what causes it, it is reproducible, solution is to do exactly this and that, after that issue is gone.." :)

Btw today I have 71% battery left after 3 hrs of almost not using the phone - i have checked the news (10 mins) and searched for a tram, moved myself by few miles. The rest (most) of the time the phone was in the pocket/on the desk. (Battery is new 2600 mAh replacement from ebay, wifi, data, gps on, IMO online on 2 accounts with plenty of people). Is it OK or not for JB?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] wolfboy47:
Fixed my battery drain issue

Finally found a solution to my battery drain issue. The mailbox sync was the one causing the mobile data to be on full power.

When I went into mailbox settings, mail sync schedule was on push mode for both peak and off peak hours. Changed it to 15 mins during peak and 4 hours during off peak hours and voilà!! The battery drain dropped to about 5% per hour (when idle) and the phone no longer heats up.

Finally something I can live with...

By the way, I'm on stock JB rom.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] qazibasit:
Since i am on jelly bean i have to wait a lot for apps to load and lag in simple tasks like phone dialer and others. The other bad thing is obviously the battery drain. I uninstalled many

System apps, changed the kernel to speedmod and then Philz kernel. But no use, i had to charge my phone thrice daily and now my battery is swollen.

So it ruined my battery which i changed just 4 months ago. So i am not at all satisfied with the update.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] projeto56:
5%? Seriously you can live with that?

Mine drops at about 0.8% and i'm already mad at it!

Do things the right way instead of taking "the lazy way" and then ***** about your battery.

Wipe EVERYTHING, and then reflash your rom. DO NOT RESTORE SYSTEM APPS. And try to start from scratch.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Flash05:
i made the jump. factory reset/wipe. it was slow at first until you get rid of all the help/assistance. unfortunately, i sold my phone.

not happy with how things are being handled. :( jumping to nexus.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] alexsamson:
So glad you noticed too

I honestly thought I was the only person who thought this upgrade was terrible. It has absolutely destroyed what was a great phone. It's laggy, resource hungry and the battery life is terrible.

As well as the performance issues, they've also ditched a lot of the handy features that made the Note such a useful business tool - the home screen agenda widgets for example, and the home screen memo widgets.

I've also noticed that the Internet Browser is buggy when the keyboard is open for filling in forms.

I really don't like it. Does anybody have any suggestions for battery saving?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] neier24:
Usually when people make the transition from one to another, they expect that their needs gonna be filled... according to how atrocious those needs are, they're slightly not reached. Ex, more battery, faster scroll, new stuff to keep. And eventually, they decide if the bother worth the stay. A good excuse is that every update brings something new, evolves on your phone's performance expense. But who is to say if these are good, since those expectations are never met and will not be met soon, that justify for some to get a new battery\ or a phone that runs on solar cell energy.

I got on mine exactly this: "Endurance rating 39h"

The sad fact is that this update has brought no improvement to this phone. In fact, it has ruined it.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dwboston:
I had several issues after the JB update, running stock JB on a DBT Note. I've had problems with severe lag switching between apps, using the camera, using the dialer, etc. The second JB update for DBT Notes did nothing to fix it, in fact it got worse. I broke down and backed up all my texts, call logs, settings and files, then did a complete wipe and reinstall, and the phone is performing much better. It's a pain reinstalling all of my applications, and repairing bluetooth devices, but it was worth it in the end as the phone is performing as well as it did with the ICS ROMs. Battery life seems a hair worse than when running ICS, even with Google Now disabled, but it's fine for my purposes. It's inconvenient, but a wipe/clean install should help those having issues running the stock JB ROMs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] The_Newtype:
Agreed. It's getting to the point where the OEMs are simply giving us JB just to say they've given us JB -- how about some actual feature upgrades or improvements...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PJ147:
I have tried a few jb Roms and now use the German LT4 with C.O.H's hello world kernel and I've got to say is a major improvement over ICS.

Google now, gaming performance increase (kernel related), multi window (uses all apps with multi window manager app from play store) are all welcome additions.

Full wipe (safe kernel of course) and try this kernel and you'll see the difference.

My wife has GS2 (I9100) with the H3G 4.1.2 stock Rom (completely unmodified/unrooted) and before I did full wipeand flashed that kernel, hers was a far more fluid/faster jelly bean experience. Not any more.

The only downside is battery drains faster on both mine/my wife's than ICS, but bit massively different. I have not looked into wakelocks etc but that's probably the issue there.

Personally, having owned other Samsung Android devices, being updated from gingerbread to ICS to Jellybean is something of an unexpected bonus compared to what I have seen before.

Just my experience...

hey even i had the Same problem. . But I found I great solution for it.. n now I am running a suprr fast jb stock on my note.. just follow the following steps

1. Install jb stock firmware through odin on ur phone.

2. But before installing make sure u have ics on ur note. Don't wipe data n all that..

3. Simply flash jb stock on stock ics that's the key..

4. Let it boot normally after flash

5. Once it is fully boot into ur jb. Go to settings, backup &restore n do a factory reset (MUST DO)

6. After the rest ur phone will restart n trust ME u will not have a single lag on ur phone. .

7. Tried n tested.. better than any custom firmware. .

Try n let me know..

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Tobby Bompkins:
factory reset is way to go.

I too had slow running/ crashing apps after the upgrade; & the note app stopped saving. It looks like the logjam was the "memo" upgrade duplicating apps.......... :/

In desperation I fixed it by;

copy all pics to the removable SDcard & remove it,

cut the sync to (samsung&google)

made factory reset.

re-insert the SD card & set it up.

I now have a lovely, working, Samsung note which runs with the same speed as new. ....... Still not sure WHY the upgrade was needed....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vladdt:
Wipe before flashing will solve your problems?

I have europian LSZ, and speedmod kernel. Works fine. Little laggy when i was on original ROM, but speedmod resolved this problem. Battery works 2 days for me. I hope you people know how to switch on power saving mode and turn off wi-fi in sleep? Or you playing games 12 hr on your phone?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] stgyro:
CPU Tuner on JB?

I have JB 4.1.2 N7000XXLSO version for Germany, installed speedmod 3.0.31 but Note was still not performing as before on older ROMs. Opening some apps especially whith WiFi enabled was a disaster, really slow. Power saving was turned off. Then I installed CPU Tuner (free app) and performance is much better now, and I don´t have problem with battery drain. Let me know guys if this helps!? :eek:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] aftabbabar:
I have finally chosen the xxl5 and used the latest C.O.H kernel. Seems like its a match made in heaven. My rom is completely stock without any mods. The rom is the fastest and most stable for me. I am not sure about the battery life because I have had this rom for only a couple of days so far. I have removed all the bloatware and the rom seems to be settling a bit with the latest c.o.h kernel. The lag becomes less and less obvious with regular usage of the phone. I am very happy as my phone is fast and lag is unnoticeable now. no more thinking of buying note 2.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Drummyman:
Finally, I got rid of the lazyness (and fed up of the ever increasing lag) and did the full clean installation. After one week of heavy use, the phone is smoother than ever.

Started from JB received trough OTA,

Backup everything (non root, used Helium),

Philz kernel,

Formated internal and micro sd,

did all wipes,

Factory reset,

Flashed ROM trough Odin (spanish LSZ)

and manual reinstallation of data such whatsapp folder, some games, DCIM pictures and my data folders structure (ebooks, my work portfolio and such)

Did not autorestore data from all apps or touched any system app data.

Full stock & non rooted.

Took me a wooping time of 5 or 6 hours to make, cause I'm so picky with my info.

But it was worth it. Seems like a brand new phone. Really fast everywhere, no lag at all, no more long waits for phone or contacts to open, no crash & no battery drains (78% screen after 14h and things like that). MUCH better than ICS. Amazing.

My conclusion: I think there are a lot of rearrangements done in the update to JB that confuses the system and breaks its performance when planted on top of ICS. Not sure what, but got the feeling that some parts of the system were "still" on ICS while the system awaited JB behaviour and locations; things like the micro sd folder location, widgets intents, ram management, logs and so on. So that's why flash in Odin, wipes AND SPECIALLY formatting of memory without autorestoring appdata is so important.

So in the long term it's a bad thing cause, after owning several phones with related issues, it shows - while clean installs remain so important - how uncomfortable and faulty Android is compared to iOS in terms of sequential updates. Don't misunderstand: big fan of Android here. But found that a fact.

[MENTION=3686944]Drummyman[/MENTION] : I agree with you. The upgrade process does not seem to work well for some people. Total wipe of everything, including storage, then clean install and no restores does seem to be the way to go, if you are not happy with the upgrade..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] fast_asleep:
hey thanks for the info.. i will finally have some time to bring my stock phone from gingerbread to jb. Is it ok to use kies or do you have to use odin thing?

and also is the philz kernal needed for me? not sure what that is
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
If you use kies, once you are actually on JB, you will probably want to do a factory reset (be on a safe kernel first...) that is a huge upgrade from GB so you want to clean everything out.

If you want to do it the cleanest way right if the bat then do this:

1. Flash newest Philz kernel

2. Boot to recovery. Wipe data system dalvik cache and preload (your system won't boot anymore until you flash a ROM)

3. Flash a zip of whatever ROM you choose in recovery OR reboot to download mode and flash a .tar via PC Odin.

4. Reboot to system.

5. Wait 5 minutes for it to load and setup.

6. If you need to root again flash philz

I know its a pain to have to redo all your apps and data but coming from GB you really should start clean
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Drummyman:
[MENTION=4606954]fast_asleep[/MENTION], I'd advise you to use Odin, but prior installation of Kies is needed for the drivers.

Philz kernel is a rooted & safe version of the stock kernel, which allows you to factory reset your phone without the risk of leaving it unusable - due to a problem related to a broken chip in stock roms.

And your update jump is a big one. You will really see the difference between GB and JB.

It's an easy process, but doing things in order is important. Read well before do anything. Don't fall asleep ;)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
This statement is unfounded. There is no reason to recommend PC Odin - that is ONE method... You are making it sound like using PC Odin is somehow better, and its not. The important part is the proper wipes. Read my post above.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Drummyman:
[MENTION=4703968]asf58967[/MENTION] Why shouldn't I think and say PC Odin is better? Just because you say so?

I do think it IS better. They're two different softwares, and based on my experience I think Kies is buggy and not the real tool you should learn for flashing Samsung Phones. But needed - or the simplest way - to get the drivers.

Make your recomendation and let people choose. I didnt't say "You can't use Kies" or something like that. Your post is the unfounded one :thumbup:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
kies sucks. no one ever recommended kies. if you even read my post directly above yours, you would see that the first sentence recommends NOT using kies.

my problem with you and your recommendation to just blindly use PC Odin is i wrote out a long instructional right above your post, and you ignore it completely. It is NOT the best method.

Flashing a rom over another using PC Odin without doing the proper wipes will result in a problematic flash - what I wrote above your post is the best method, which includes potentially using PC odin if necessary (i.e., not flashing a custom rom with a zip file from recovery, which is BY FAR the best and safest method of rom installation, so long as on a kernel with emmc erase cap disabled such as philz)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] life.eq.null:
While I prefer flashable zips, you are 99% wrong, Oden ROMs (stock) are disk images, they will wipe everything on the phone, including /system, /preload, /cache, /data, etc.

Some stock images don't include a /data partition so it doesn't get wiped, that's why you're 99% wrong not 100%.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Drummyman:
That is right. Happened to me. And that's why I noted the importance of formating sd/micro sd memory, as I believe to be one of the "remains" that create trouble with the JB update. So formating + wipes and then flashing in Odin is, in my opinion, the best way to assure settlement of everything to get this crappy update process done right.

I don't understand you, but won't argue with you. I gave my opinion about Kies, not tried to set the facts - which you are doing. When talking to newbies there's room for opinion here, or so I think. But you felt ignored and that's why you're upset... not because we don't agree in Kies Vs. Odin.

Have fun, life lasts two days!

have such an intensive course and exam stress has really exhausted me but i really love my note - looking forward to breathing the much needed new life into it that it needs since it's (embarrasingly) slow

regarding the steps of asf58967 "Flash newest Philz kernel" - so that can be done through kies? if it is a prerooted kernal does that have the triangle ticker being increased thing? because my phone started acting funny (after unplugging from charging phone keeps thinking it is plugged into charge a second later pulled off charge and this repeats over and over and people one here kindly said it sounded like a hardware fault) so i will be taking it to repair at samsung - I'm assumig they should not know about any rooting procedures that i carry out
