i wanted to "NOTE" in on this for as after rooting, i jumped into TITANIUM and literally uninstalled 45 + pieces of crap bloatware. Following I used STARTUP AUDITOR and disabled nearly everything I personally used. Next up ONE CLICK CLEANER PRO for a quick one touch clean and lastly ADV MEMORY OPT 1.4 ..and my results on battery life are absoolutely OUTSTANDING!

HEAVY use video , email + web scores me about 12-15 hours EASY! ---- I am not kidding. If you have the patience....follow the above. You will see how streamlined you can really get your NOTE .... :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] choboii:
Mine was good then bad and now it's decent. For me good was about 7-8 hours screen on time. Then it Went down to about 4 hours screen on time. Now it looks like it's going to be around 6 hours because I'm at 4 hours screen on time time with 37% left. For me the biggest battery killer was candy crush. Haha. I always have wifi on and all the battery saving methods.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] kitsinni:
I have found with basic use like web, text, talk and internet the phone can almost last forever. If you start playing games and are not in power save mode you can lose up to 1% battery a minute though. Threw it on the charger that came with the phone for less than an hour after this pic and it was at 100%!

Google Services

I've been having battery problems on my phone but my wife has been getting hammered by all sorts of wakelocks that drains her battery after 8 hours with basically no usage. One of them that showed up one both mine and hers was the ipc00000024_er.ServerThread wakelock. There isn't much info out there but one of the suggestions was cycling GPS which didn't seem to have much affect. One of things that I did that seems to have helped was wiping data on Google Services.

One of the other settings that's sneaky that I'm wondering has a big affect on this run away Google Services battery usage is the Android Device Manager in Google Settings. From the Apps Drawer if you go Google Settings -> Android Device Manager you'll see the Remotely locate this device. If you untick this, I wonder if the usage for locating the device will go down. I've had mine unticked since last night and I have had hers unticked as well so we'll see when she comes home from work what the battery looks like. Maybe some of you want to try this and see what happens.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] defectiveleader:
I was having an issue with my battery draining after root, but i cycled my GPS and it stopped. It kept trying to pull location data over and over with all those features shut off. Now I'm running at 75% or higher at the end of the day.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cubandevil:
guys here are my screenshots , im kinda dissapointed on the battery life but i think there is something wrong here .
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TheMostToys:
Does not look too out of the ordinary. 3.5 hours of screen on time at 100% brightness is within expectations. Those that are getting 6 to 8 hours of screen on time are at a much lower brightness level. I would assert that anyone getting 8 hours of screen on time (with the stock battery) is at the minimum brightness and doing it just to prove it can be done (or doing it with a black screen ;).
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Tuanle:
Turn off all the smart features (smart stay, scroll, s beam, nfc, air view, air gesture) and bluetooth and see what happens. I only turn on bluetooth and gps when I use it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] willreds:
What does GPS cycling mean? Turning it on until it finds a signal and then turning it off?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] astang99:
Can someone post where to get the better battery app, I'm only getting 8 hrs on battery
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] prubin:
If you are rooted, try Greenify. Has improved my battery life significantly.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Dreadsteel:
Try turning off Google now and turn off the Android device locator in Google settings app, Like you have already done.

Also turn off location reporting and location history in Google settings app.

Lastly turn off use wireless networks in location services in settings.

I know this will kill all the cool features of Google now, but if you want better battery it's necessary.

Google now checks your location all the time. And when you have bad signal, it will keep your phone awake trying to locate you.

Also being in areas of bad signal will cause some kernel wakelock too. Due to the phone jumping around cell towers trying to obtain a stable signal.

Good luck

I used to have good battery life at the beginning but now I see a stupid wakelock called "Diagnostics.client.Wakelock" keeping my device awake for long hours hence eating battery. I couldn't find anything on xda or on the web. Does anyone know what is the cause of this wakelock?

Stopped worrying when I bought the Hyperion Samsung Galaxy Note 3 6400mAh Extended Battery.

Now I turn GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth on,

Watch and stream movies anytime I want.

Get at least two days no matter how hard I use the device.

Makes the device thick, yes but i do not care.

While device manufacturers are looking always to make devices thin, all I ever cared about was how long does it last on a charge,
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dawheat:
I really only do 2 things for battery life - otherwise everything else is on, power saving is off, no adjusting display, etc:

- Use Lux Dash to control auto brightness - does a far better job than stock auto brightness and is always at the level I want

- Turned off use wifi for location - for some reason, letting Google do so was sucking maybe an extra 5-10% of total battery life every day. I do leave GPS on.

i am very impressed with the battery so far i picked this up yesterday off kijiji it was opened but not used - i have owned every android device worth owning i kind of gave up on samsung after the the note 2 for the lack of custom roms but i do own the 2014 galaxy note 10.1 and galaxy gear watch, my previous samsung was the note 2 with a 9300 mah extended battery that got some insane screen on times but i must say this note 3 is very impressive, my current phone is the xperia z ultra which i love the size ( wish the note 3 was this big ) but mine xperia is the hspa + version and i miss the lte speeds so i bought the note 3 - i was setting it up most of the day today - with at least 2 hours of gps - connected to the galaxy gear and i am at over 6 hours screen on time with 40 % battery remaining - it almost like it has an extended battery - i had thought going from my original note to the note 2 was a crazy battery life gain but this is at least as much if not more so - i will miss the size of my xperia ultra but i do still have my galaxy tab 7.7 and the red haired step child of the samsung line up the galaxy mega when i need something bigger
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sodomanaz:
Battery life for me has been pretty iffy. Was great at first, but I'm losing about 10% in the first hour after unplugging. Android OS is always the culprit with about 70% of my battery drain. I factory reset my phone and started again and it's still the same issue. I'm starting to blame the aftermarket s view case but who knows.

Still stuck on MI9 (still don't see an update after all of this time) and unrooted.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rippley05:
Same here, my Android OS started draining the crap out of my battery after I rooted with Kingo. I've tried numerous things to fix it with no luck. It's worse in areas with poor signal...when I have LTE coverage, battery is great. When I have hspa or edge, it kills my battery in 6-7 hours without ever using the phone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] slimslim:
I noticed the same thing, on LTE or Wifi great battery life, poor connection kills it even on sleep. The Android OS service still on top of everything though. I'm trying something new now, I just got an update for Samsung apps and also enabled everything that i froze before (Samsung crap). I've read somewhere that may be some wakelocks initiated by apps looking for connections related to some frozen processes. I'll try everything now. And also turning off (yes off and weird) power saving might help as the powermanagementservice.wakelock and powermanagementservice.display are in top of the list. I'll see today...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rippley05:
I've tried turning on all the apps I froze, I still have them all on. I never use any power saving modes. Funny thing is, I've had this phone since release and my signal at work has always been on the weaker side (no LTE) but the extreme drain did not start until I rooted with Kingo. I've tried everything I can think of. Disable google now, locations, gps, wireless network location. I even turned mobile data off so I could just receive texts/calls and nothing helps.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] slimslim:
The power saving enabled didn't do anything, it's all the same. I've heard some bad things about kingo but not sure about how is affecting the battery life. I didn't use it nor root my device. I'm on att stock (mj5) firmware with all the updates up to date. Don't know what else to try now

Considering the multitasking prowess of this device I'd say I'm impressed! A bit of gaming here and there lots of phone calls, wifi always on.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DrAzzy:
Now that I've disabled wifi geolocation (this was causing Google Play Services to consume a large amount of battery life), i've been getting epic battery life. I've done 3 days 15 hrs with 15% left - obviously I don't use my phone as heavily as some of you do, but I was still making the occasional voice call, using an app that used GPS to catch the bus every morning, listening to music etc.

Swype often gets into a wakelock that about halves battery life if I don't catch it.

Running rooted stock, with a bunch of bloatware I don't use frozen (but I haven't rigorously gone down the list of safe-to-freeze apps freezing them all).
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] 519FlyBoy:

Wifi geolocation? Where is that setting

sEnt from thE noTe 3
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DrAzzy:
Under GPS options, uncheck "use wireless networks"

It seems that under recent versions of Android, google play services wakes the phone up periodically to look at what wifi networks it sees. Why this was considered acceptable from a battery life perspective is beyond me. I think it's a triumph of google's datalust over their concern for user experience.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rippley05:
Ahh I've done that before with no improvement. I have Android OS on top of my stats. Draining at least 10% an hour while the phone sits idle in my pocket. Only when I don't have lte tho

sEnt from thE noTe 3
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DrAzzy:
Yeah, disabling that is for fixing "Google Play Services" at top of battery usage.

Not sure about Android OS using that kind of battery power. Android OS is at the top of my list if I really don't use the phone much, but I'm using under 1%/hr.

At 10%/hr, the phone should be getting slightly warm after sitting in, say, a coat pocket unattended for a while; with the size of the battery in the note, that's just over 1 watt, give or take...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rippley05:

Had the phone for 3 days. Have yet to kill battery. My second day I tried killing it and couldn't. Had 13 hrs on time with 6 hrs screen time with 20% battery left. At that point put everything brightness up, motions on to fully drain. Had to make some calls. Even with about 2 hours of that battery still only dropped to 10%. At that point had to go to bed and recharge. Easily my best battery ever. Finally a phone I don't have to gimp for it to last!

Hi,

No smartphone in the world is immune from short battery issue but there are cases that something is wrong on the device which drains the energy.

Solution 1: If the Chrome browser is installed, launch the app > Settings > Developer Tools > Disable Tilt Scrolling.

Solution 2: Go to Settings > More Settings > Mobile Networks > Network Mode > Disable LTE if you are not using it.

Solution 3: Disable Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and mobile data if not in use.

Solution 4: Disable Samsung applications. Go to Settings > Applications Manager > All > Choose to disable: Samsung Account, Samsung Backup, Samsung Apps, and Samsung Cloud Data Relay.

Thanks

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Rippley05:
I didn't read all of this but I just wanted to comment...No matter how you spin it, there is something or some process listed under "android os" killing my battery. 7 hours and 19 minutes of a wakelock is not normal. This isn't my first Android phone, not close. When I get less than an hour screen on time in about a 10 hour work shift, all the while my phone "stays awake" 7 of those hours...something is off. The phone dies while it sits in my pocket.

It didn't always do it, and even now it only does it when I'm not in an lte area..but I can't make it stop. I've shut everything off, even went to airplane mode and it still does it. It started the day I rooted with Kingo. My only other option is to use kingo unroot and factory reset, but I highly doubt that will work

Points 1 and 2 are true. Point 3 is utter hogwash. That whole battery conditioning has no point and is for older technology. The batteries that is used today doesn't need "conditioning". I haven't done that on a device in a few years and never had a problem with battery.

Mine does not seem to have any issue with battery life and gets about the same as any other smart phone I have had with same usage. I have to say it get MUCH better life than my Nokia Lumia 920 did.
