The battery is amazing on this phone I love it. Keep on power saving mode. Turn off WiFi when not using it. Keep screen brightness down. Simple tips that actually work.

This was stock, with root and 1 day 2 hours uptime. Just installed KNOXRAID, can't wait to see what that's like!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Kamau54:
To be honest with you, as much as I'd like to flash a rom, the battery life I'm getting on stock has kept me from it. I'm literally seeing double life than I was getting with my S3 on custom roms.

Coming from where the wind begins.....
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] altrikdout21:
You have to try out KNOXRAID. I just flashed the jelly bean version and here are my results in the first full discharge... About 20% better than stock (which I posted above).
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dabl198327:
ive tried so many of the roms out for our note 3 and the ONLY one that has given me any kind of good battery life was the jb version of knoxraid.

good luck
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] altrikdout21:
I've only tried this one and I think you're right! Definitely better than stock, getting at least 7 hours screen time consistently!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dabl198327:
yeah same here. ill unplug my phone in the morning for work (6am). and by the time 4pm rolls around im anywhere from 65-70% battery on knoxraid 2.6 (jb version) ive tried dynamic, kitkat, firenote xnote, knoxraid 3.0, azure rom, and not one of them gives me that kind of battery. it kinda sux tho because some of the other roms are pretty kick ass but battery life is important. ive even tried different version of roms "updates" which state that they have battery updates in the changelog. but nothing compared to the KNOXRAID v2.6.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] HomerSimpson09876:
I'm clocking in around seven hours of heavy use on my Note 3. No complaints.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] gharris040604:
The nb4 update Att pushed out has really improved my battery life!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] altrikdout21:
1 hour of screen time so far...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] timark251:
Loving the battery life on this phone, best I've ever head. Completely stock as well. I'm confused as to how my phone can sleep with the screen on though.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] JosephDowns:
Love my new battery on Knoxraid

Thanks to Knoxraid my battery has a new life thank you so much.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] altrikdout21:
Which version are you on? KK?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] JosephDowns:
Knox 5.1
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] DustinKimble:
Well I use a wifi app that turns my wifi on and off depending on where I am.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Radimus:
Knoxraid 5.1
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] altrikdout21:
That's some high media usage. I'm running the same rom with same screen and up time with 81% left. Maybe issues with an external sd?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Radimus:
Possibly, but it was also the first day on the ROM so there was some syncing going on...

I'll compare after a few days to see.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] altrikdout21:
I switched back to v2.6 of KNOXRAID. Only rom that can consistently get me 2 days usage.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Radimus:
I am still getting huge percentages of Media Storage activity, so I'm backing up the SD card, reformatting it and then limiting the card to backups and install files...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] altrikdout21:
How many pictures do you have on it?

Earlier on in the thread a guy had similar issues. I believe he froze the stock gallery app and downloaded quickpic, for some reason the stock gallery was indexing his files all the time.

Edit: for the record, I always freeze the stock gallery and use the aosp one from my Android 4.2 camera apk
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] KTownGT:
Full wipe + format SD card + v5.1 is netting me 2 days and more.

93% charge after 14 hours yesterday. :)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Radimus:
several thousand actually (32gb card). I've backed them all up to my home Plex server and the next update from the Plex guys is auto upload of pics to a Plex Photo Gallery, so that issue will resolve itself soon.

I used to use QuickPic and just recently went back to Gallery... I may have to revert again ;)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] altrikdout21:
Would love to see screens when you run it down, I was getting terrible life on 5.1!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] KTownGT:
Can do. I have a few other screenshots in this thread. Letting a few days go by after flashing a new rom seems to help battery life all over
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] altrikdout21:
Do you use anything like greenify or other battery saving apps? I'm thinking to try v5.1 again, could have just been a bad flash.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] mikelulz:
I just flashed 5.6 yesterday, so today is my first full day with it running. I'm getting 0.6% an hour drain when the screen is off, but it seems like when the screen is on it drains way faster than the stock rom. I went from like 90% to 60% using chrome for about an hour and a half. I wonder if I just have to let it go through a full few charges. I had high hopes because everyone was saying they have way better battery life with knoxraid. I've checked all my settings and the wakelocks and I dont really see anything.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] salman1444:
Hey everyone i am having some issue and i cannot resolve it , look at the screenshots.

Basically from week or so i noticed that my android os was eating alot of battery and i still cannot figure out what's going on , location settings are off everywhere , no bluetooth either just wifi or 4g ..

what i have noticed is that my android os is receiving some data constantly and it never stops , given reboots it still does not stop , these images are after 3 hour of full charge and already almost 1mb received.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] altrikdout21:
Bumping this thread. . :D curious to see what everyone is getting on KK battery-wise...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] timark251:
Just got the KK one week ago, battery life after letting the update settle for 3 days. Also performed a factory reset after the update. Best battery life I have ever gotten after an update.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] lildoggs:
How in the world did you manage to get 12 hours on screen time on your phone? Do you have an extended battery?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] timark251:
How in the world did you manage to get 12 hours on screen time on your phone? Do you have an extended battery?

I don't, stock battery. Just disabled all the ATT crapware, no auto sync, and kept power saving turned on.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] golfinggino:
I am getting 10 to 12 hours screen on time - I have power savings on - connected to my gear all the time and use the phone a lot I am on WiFi 100% of the time which really helps - the battery on this phone is really amazing
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] SpikeyPsyche:
How do you disable all the ATT crapware without TiBackup?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] timark251:
I only disabled the ATT programs that can be disabled through the application manager. As well as some Samsung apps.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] altrikdout21:
Screen on time is nice, I was seeing around 8 hours on jb with 2+ days uptime. I've never used the phone for 12 hours in one day though! Great battery life y'all
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] naxnfishernj:
Don't hotboot if you do you can get a wired error tag causes battery loss
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] lildoggs:
Thank you I'm gonna give this a try.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] seanu13:
Are y'all turning off location services? It's was higher than my screen for % used. I prefer it on but hate how much it uses
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] tminhsolska:
Turning off location server gonna shave off few % of battery consuming I suppose :cowboy:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] seanu13:
I'm at 92% right now but I will turn it back on and post results of leaving it on the rest of the day.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jokesonme:
I'm going to post a high usage results by the end of tonight. Lots of texting, face book and Web with constant screen on.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cj31016:
How do you guys get Google Services to not stay awake for hours on end? Location Services and Google Now are disabled on my handset.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] seanu13:
I've got location services and GPS on with the always scanning option under wifi advance setting off.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cj31016:
Interesting. I have the always scan option off as well. Battery has been good, but here are my stats with only 1.25 hours of screen time. Google Services been awake pretty much the entire time.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] seanu13:
Gah. Not sure what advice to give. Is your GPS off? not sure if having it off might make the location services work more or something? Totally uneducated guess

---------- Post added at 10:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 PM ----------

That's what mine looked like before turning off the always on setting fwiw. I had services off and only turned them back on today. Could also try switching off and back on maybe
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] cj31016:
Thanks. Gonna install Battery Stats and monitor tomorrow.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jokesonme:
Seven hours of screen time?!! You've got to be kidding me!!! My Galaxy S3 barely would hit 3 and 1/2 hours. With kernels, lowering cpu and voltage. This is amazing. With all the bloatware etc. LOVEEEEEE.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Dreadsteel:
Can anyone explain to me what the "turn off pen detection" option does?

It says that turning this off can save battery life. So does that mean I check the box or uncheck the box?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] :
Wow is that without the power save feature and s features off and what you did you do with your phone ? Haha
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] theonedub:
Ended up going over 8hrs display on with over a day total power on. This things a keeper.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Dreadsteel:
Are you leaving auto rightness on? And are you using a black background to take advantage of the amoled displayed?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] jokesonme:
Here is what I have disabled and settings I use:

- Wifi on when I am at home, and Keep Wifi on during sleep enabled

- NFC off

- S Beam off

- GPS / Location Services Off (if I ever need to use maps etc I just flick it on for a second)

- Multiwindow On

- Voice Control off

- Air Gestures off

- Air View on

- Air command on

- Motions off

- Palm Motion off

- Power saving mode on

I would really like to see what [MENTION=754991]theonedub[/MENTION] settings are. I think if I would have taken down to 1% battery I could have hit 8 hours, but I want to know what features he has enabled so I know what I can turn back on if they aren't affecting battery life. I am going to try a run as soon as this is charged without power saving mode on and see what happens.

*Edit: I was also using autobrightness in most cases, sometimes raising it but usually leaving it set.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] theonedub:
When those stats were pulled I was using a light blue background with auto brightness on. I'm using pretty much the same settings as jokesonme except I am not using power saving features until 20% where it's set to turn on automatically (haptic disable & limit CPU speed only).

I've disabled all the bloat I could using 'disable' from the stock app manager. Only using stock TW.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Dreadsteel:
Keep posting guys. And post your settings too. I would love to see how features like voice command and air view.. Etc affect our battery life.

I have auto brightness on at all times. And all of the features off except air view, smart stay and power saving.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] seanu13:
I want to keep GPS and Loc Services off but need them for weather widgets :( it didn't seem like having GPS on affected much, as it only kicked on when weather info was being pulled or when asking google when some place closes or where the closest something is.

---------- Post added at 04:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------

Instead of your phone constantly looking for the presence of your pen, it only looks for it when its taken out of the phone for things like when you walk off without it, it'll beep at you saying you're leaving the pen behind. Believe this is accurate.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] drunknmunky812:
Thanks for the tip!:D
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] salman1444:
hey everyone i am having some trouble with the wakelocks , i have searched alot but no help..

Note 3 at&t getting two wakelocks

this is not stoping only stops when i turn wifi off crazy number of counts

mmc0:0001:2

and i get this one randomly then it kills my battery sometime ipc00000024_ActivityManager

and maybe some help if i want to get at&t kitkat how to get it ? i am on Mi9 rooted with Kingo..
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] merlin3:
So i bought a used note 3 and it came with the hyperion 6400 mah extended battery and back cover. Unfortunately the guy didnt give me the stock battery and cover for it. So i went on ebat and bought a back cover and a supposed oem samsung battery. Well i just got the battery a couple days ago and heres my stats from today. Pretty pathetic and now i need to find a genuine oem battery somewhere for a good deal as i cant stand the size of the extended battery.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] altrikdout21:
MI9 Is a really early build, I believe that At&t released NB4 to fix some of those wakelocks. That might be why.

If you want to get to kk, I'd restore to mj5 using the guide on this forum. I think there are also several guides on how to do it other ways.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] derek.urben:
What are you guy's top 5 things to do to improve battery life?

I think we should get a list together in order to help new Note 3 users with their phone!

Mine:

1. Power saving mode

2. Greenify

3. Screen Brightness

4. Custom ROM (Light weight)

5. Lightweight launcher
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] wudien:
Hey everyone, I wanted to compare alarms as seen on better battery stats. I've hd decent battery life this past day but my Google alarms seem extremely high (almost 500)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] wudien:
1. Turn data off when not in use (I use idle time connection manager app)

2. No Facebook app or Google plus. Use shortcut on launcher to mobile site (stay logged in)

3. Screen brightness

4. Debloated system. Want to try dynamic extreme, but I TiBk freeze samsung apps at the moment. (Custom rom)

5. App ops. Preventing apps to keep the screen on, wakelocks, notifications, location access, random scanning of personal information... The list goes on baby!

I continue to use nova. No Greenify- doesn't seem necessary, and may have drained my battery more than not having it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] bravomail:
just buy Greenify donation

My battery life sucked until I used Greenify+Donation+Xposed options.

Now it's almost 0% down during idle.

Which is ideal.

:cool:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] asilva54:
this is such a deal breaker to me. its 2014 and it really should not be acceptable to keep social media disabled on our phones and they not get thru the day.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] wudien:
you cant blame anyone but the developers and decision makers of the social media apps, and their NSA-like desire to have your data. the facebook app is uncontrollable. Denying it permissions doesnt even help. that's a deal breaker. But, you should still be able to get through the day even with it installed...

alternative route:

shortcut to TiBk to freeze facebook. (put shortcut on your launcher)

shortcut to TiBk to unfreeze and open app.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] asilva54:
agreed, well one of the devs is google for g+, but nevertheless i always skip over this suggestion on the battery saving guides.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] SladeZero:
I don't use g+ but I do you Hangouts a lot. Hangouts is pretty good on battery.

Facebook is power hungry bro... worse app to hit my smart phones. My sister occasionally uses my phone when we are out... Its almost like 5 mins of fb is 10% of my battery. I keep it logged out when not in use. tends to help. AND you can't blame sammy nor google for this power monger... its all facebook's fault. I have some games that use a lot of graphics and don't suck the juice that fb does.... just saying.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sangvu86:
I discharge my phone from 7 am and used it to 4 pm. Is it normal guys ? I freeze a lot of ss & att crap with tibk.

help how to turn off disable Gallery application in 4.4.2

Need Help with this matter

i am running 4.4.2 note 3 at&t 100% stock and i need to freeze the gallery application as it keeps the media scanner active and eats battery like crazy , previously i just went in the application manager and turned off the stock gallery app and used quickpic application and problem solved. Now in this version it is not allowing me to turn off the Gallery application as that button is not available. I am not rooted please guide me what to do now i just want to turn this stupid stock gallery application.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] wudien:
Uh yeah. You got 4 hours of screen time. That's normal.

---------- Post added at 02:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 PM ----------

Shouldn't have updated to 4.4
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sangvu86:
I don't know why ppl can last it to 7h screen time. I am about to try fire note room for battery life. What version is the best stable and battery life ? I play game a lot and my favorite game is CoC which take like 4 hour per day.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] nimixes:
Hello figured I would share my battery life I am running tweaked KK also has a theme flashed over it wallys flatkat I believe.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] altrikdout21:
7 hours screen on is definitely doable. You'll never get that by playing CoC though. I've hit it with light use and streaming video, just less intensive tasks.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sangvu86:
HTC M8 now overpowered our note 3 for battery even they had only 2300mah. That's impressive. Last for 3days with normal usage and stock room without change or disable at&t crap. lol
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Face_Plant:
Did a test today to see how long the battery would last with the screen on almost constantly. I did lots of web browsing, texting, some Asphalt 8, and watched a movie. I had my gmail account syncing, notifications for Facebook/Tapatalk turned on, weather updating every hour, screen brightness was set to about 30-40% the whole time, and I was on LTE for the majority of the day.

I'd say it did pretty good, but not as good as when I was on stock rooted 4.3 with lots of crap frozen/removed.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] lildoggs:
I know what you mean. I was on jellybean and I was soo impressed by the battery life coming from the note 1. On jellybean I use to get about 8 hours screen time myself. After the kitkat update I'm lucky if I get 6 hours. Bummer
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Face_Plant:
I think one of the biggest killers is the screen turning on when I get a text. I was able to disable that through Xposed on 4.3, but not anymore... There are other messaging apps out there that don't turn on the screen, but I prefer the look and feel of the stock messaging app for some reason.

Sometimes I wonder what Samsung was smoking when they designed this phone/some of their apps. Having the screen turn on is beyond stupid in my opinion. I've sent more pocket texts than I can count as a result of the screen turning on. The only fix I've found is a lock screen pattern. I dislike the screen lock because it's somewhat difficult to unlock the screen with one hand and it's just plain annoying at times.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sangvu86:
But your 8 hours screen time is impressive. I hard to have a 5 hours screen time when I play COC a lot.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] lildoggs:
Yup but after I updated it's gone to sh*t. I debloated it using a zip I found here and didn't play games that was too graphic intensive. It was happy times back then. Lol
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] sangvu86:
What do you mean after updating ? Did you up to 4.4 kitkat ? I think kitkat is great for high end device like this. But I want to hack some game so that the reason whys I rooted mine.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] altrikdout21:
But the screen only turns on for a few seconds... don't think that's it, unless you're constantly texting and it lights up over and over
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Face_Plant:
I send and receive a lot of texts all day long. The screen comes on for like 10 seconds, which isn't that long, but it still takes its toll.

Words cannot express how much I freaking hate this awful KitKat update. My battery is down to 31% after 5 hours and 47 minutes on battery with 4 hours and 41 minutes of screen on time. That is TERRIBLE compared to what I got on Jellybean.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] salman1444:

Has anyone used the FireNote V16? Wonder whats the battery life on that!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] supers2k:
I so agree before kitkat, I'd get 8 hours screen on. Now I get 5.5, horrible! How can a G3/M8 get 7 hours screen on time with smaller batteries and we get 5.5. 4.4.2 isn't optimized. If you check how many apps are running you'll usually see 6, on jelly bean the phone ran fine with 10.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Ipaqman01:
I am using FireNote version 16 now. At night with GPS on, BT on, I see a 0.3 percent per hour battery usage.

To get that I have disabled Google Plus, Google Music, iqcarrier services and so on, only do location by GPS and do not use WIFI by default. I mostly use my AT&T 10GB and only use about 4 GB a month.

At the end of a real work day (two calls and check news), I have over 90 percent left.

I used to use the XNote 7 because of the AT&T diagnostic.client.wakelock on ATT ROMS but disabling the iqcarrier services fixed that for me.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] timark251:
Battery life on the newest NL1 update is absolutely insane. And that's with moderate usage. Auto brightness, power saver enable and Greenified user apps along with bloatware disabled.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] lyrad12:
congrats! I miss this kind of battery life since I moved to note4
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] turpinator97:
yeah buddy!

I have a zero lemon 10000 mah battery. my device is running stock 4.4.2, rooted, safestrapped and xposed. Intelli3g, greenify on user apps, google+ and hangouts. For the screen I use velis auto brightness to tone down te brightness a bit but still use auto brightness. I used performance profile to cap max cpu when screen is off and to set governor to conservative 1.2ghz for netflix and streamed for a whole day!. 10 days is light usage with little screen time.
