Anyone care to give there set up or settings on your note 3? I only get 13hrs+, almost 4 hrs screen time, WiFi its on all the time, I'm on jedi Elite v5.

POWERED by the MASTER!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
Honestly the first step would be to download an app like Better Battery Stats, open the app and go to settings> advanced enable root features. Then charge your phone to 100% best done before bed because the phone should sit without touching anything for 4 hrs minimum. Then get a dump file from the app and post it in the BBS thread and someone will look at it for you. If you want to check it out yourself look at your Partial Wakelocks and Alarms. You can google each one and you will find tons of info on them and how to curb the runaway apps.

No matter what your settings are, if you have misbehaving apps your battery will always suffer. Once you get that done i or someone else here will post some kernel and phone settings to help with battery life for you. Location is a big battery drainer and it is located in a couple different places. But do the above first and im sure you'll be happy with the outcome.

Try Greenify too, in addition to what sshafranco said. Maybe try a wakelock app too, but I'm greenify did more for me, as far as seeing what was running. I'm running Jedi too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
Agree. I also use Greenify. Just be careful and dont hibernate apps that you use very often like sms. Could actually cost you battery life. Unless its a misbehaving app.

On another note im having some issues with Greenify right now and I think Oasis is working on a fix. Last update broke default settings for apps and auto hibernation for me. When I hit home button I have to chose launcher every time and same for all others too. Its in the Green thread.

5 hours screen on. W03 SlimKat, lean kernel, auto brightness. All enabled except NFC due to not working yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cuezaireekaa:
Had some good life with custom kernels and prefer them over stock because of all the extras but stock kernel on tweaked is quite the battery saver. 8 hours of deep sleep in there not losing a single percent all the while. I use ds battery saver to keep data off while screens off, and only keeping the radio for calls on.

50% left after snapping these..

Auto brightness, interactive/deadline per cun7s' suggestions.

And always Greenify ;)

Disclaimer: for anyone who would go so low and say i lay my phone down while the screen never shuts off is laughable. not saying anyone here has said these things, but ive been told that before. annoying. i read a lot on my phone. a lot of publications through the app Taptu and Flipboard. moonreader+ is for my epubs. and i have to be streaming MySoundcloud app and spotify while i browse the webz. and dont get me started on all the countless Zooper Widget modifications and theme making ive been doing on this beautiful phone and pen. make designing homescrees a breeze with the Spen. watching XBMC from time to time also for meh news and missed eps. but if a must do some heavy 3d gaming and i have to pull out the 10,000 or the 6400bricks to game on Deus ex...

sorry for the novel. :P

anyway this is stock. no tricks and no deception :) its all about App Regulation and not letting them rogue apps force their "feature" on you and consume resources----->find em and squash em .

Thanks bro. Looks awesome thats why i asked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cuezaireekaa:
Np! Yeah that's the DPI I think looks best and plays nice with most apps. But I also use the appsettings module to change the dialer/contacts, action memo, and a few other tw apps' dpi back to stock because I don't like the layout when using a lower number. So just a heads up about those apps. It may not bother you too much, kills me tho lol

Under wifi in settings turn off "wifi always scanning". May affect location services though. I don't really notice a huge effect on battery but I'm sure I throw a hell of a lot more wakelocks when it's not ticked so I usually turn it off. Thinking back I wonder if my older Galaxy devices had this ticked automatically but this is the first phone to show under Battery that the wifi is on all the time with this. Hope it helps.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cuezaireekaa:
Get the app better battery stats aka bbs. There is one in the play store but if you Google it, you'll find one here on xda free for members to install. Check out the thread the developer has posted in the forum as well for more detailed information .

Basically that app will tell you if anything is waking up your phone and keeping a wake lock.

There is also another good battery app that monitors this type of thing called GSam battery and that's in the playstore also.

But really, your battery usage isn't all that bad..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
I agree wiyh cueza. What kernel are you using tho? I usually get 5 to 6 screen with 2 days total and I can do 1 day with 8 to 10 screen. For me I get worse battery life with stock kernel than Lean or Colonel. Mostly because I tweak the modded kernels for battery life.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] _INSPIREed:
53 hours off charge. Best battery life stats I've had thus far. If I used my phone for under a 24 hour period I would have 9 hours screen on life easily. Wifi on 50% of the day (off at work, on at home) Screen brightness anywhere between 40-80% depending on what I'm doing. Tapatalk, Flipboard, Instagram, casual gaming (flappy bird, subway surfers, temple run etc), and internet browsing are my main uses. Gmail push all day. Some note taking with Handy Note Pro every day or two during my conference calls.

Trickster as my cpu control app. Intellidemand gov. Read ahead buffer size 2049. I/O scheduler BFQ. MP-decision off. Intelli-plug on. lowered all voltages i believe 50mv. Willl03 Temasek rom w/ temasek kernel sm-n900x v1.03

You can easily squeeze out 3 days on this phone if you know how to manage your connections and screen brightness. Hell I even had 8 hours screen on time when watching a movie one cycle and the battery still last 32 hours

I tried different kernels and play around with different settings as well. Currently I'm using the wicked rom with compulsion kernel. I just changed my kernel settings today, if I don't see improvement then I'll have to give yours a try.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] megapixle:
My battery life is complete crap since KitKat update. This is so infuriating, I am seriously pissed Google/Samsung/Whoever would put out an update that breaks stuff. I was solidly getting 6-7 hours screentime on 4.3, now I'm down to 3-4. Android OS is just eating my battery. Not only that, but since the 4.4 update, my battery monitoring apps don't work anymore (BetterBatteryStats, Wakelock Detector, etc.) so I can't even investigate what might be eating battery.

What a load of #$@#%$. I am pissed. And the battery is only one of the things that broke with this update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bobbyphoenix:
I've seen an increase in my battery life. Not much, but maybe an hour more with the same use. I did notice Android OS and Android System are always on top. Even if my Screen is actually using more time (like 2h for Screen, and 1h for Android OS) Android OS always seems to be listed first then followed by Screen, and then Android System. Once my Screen gets to around 3 or 4 hours on time is when it's listed first. I'm glad it's not just me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] NICEGYPT:
I doubt t-mobile will do anything about it. KitKat suppose to be good with battery. I am going to jump to htc when it comes out. I don't have to disable apps or even root my phone and keep fighting with the battery to get a good battery life. I really do hate my battery life.

battery life vs data speed compromise

I installed the PacMan Rom (March 13, 2014 build) on my Note 3 yesterday. While going through its many features I found an excellent compromise to the data speed vs battery consumption battles. It seems, there is a feature that will put the radio in 2G mode when the screen is off but when one turns the screen back on it goes back to 3/4G mode. :good: I have to say I think that 1) this feature is there and 2) it is an option is most excellent. I have no need for 3/4G speeds when my phone's screen is off and all K9 mail is doing is checking my email, 2G works just fine for that and saves on battery power.

To any and all developers (or others) that came up with this compromise and implemented it, I give thee a huge :good: THANK YOU :good: I can only hope it will somehow find its way in to all roms or baked into Android itself.

To all who are getting outstanding battery life,

I thought my battery life was pretty decent but after seeing some of the numbers in this thread, wow! I attached a screenshot of my usage w/ 50% remaining on my battery (vast majority of this was on pretty good LTE connection, auto brightness). The screen usage at the time of screenshot was 3 hr 10 min. The majority of this usage was reading twitter and playing games. I am on Slim Rom v8 with Lean Kernel v 1.2. I am using Greenify on a few apps like camera, music.

Do you have any tips for the truly fantastic readings some of you are getting? I'm seeing 8-9 hours of screen time on some, that is insane. My battery usage looks good on this image but obviously I'm missing something in my setup that's keeping me from the truly staggering numbers a lot of you are seeing. Any and all tips/info would be appreciated. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cuezaireekaa:
You're actually doing pretty good with those stats. You'll probably be able to eek out another 3more hours screen time which isn't bad if you're using the phone constantly.

EDITED:

When playing games like that, you're not gonna see 8+hours of screen time. You just won't. Those of us getting 8+ hours screen time are using the phone with minimal brightness and deffinitly not running 3d games all the while. That will drop the battery quick.

I don't have touch sounds on because that created a wake lock called Audio_02 and I turn off my notification led because I noticed a couple wake lock caused by that led blinking while phone trays to sleep.

Plus I'm on WiFi a lot which of course is better on a battery than 4g.

Here's a shot where I'm barely using it and the battery sleeps well when not in use, but using it causes android system to go out of control. Still trying to figure out this kit Kat bug that even happens on stock.

Tips for those with constant battery drain, go into google now/settings/location and turn off location reporting.

Do the same thing in maps. You will be thankful. Or not lol I'm sure this has been explained ad nauseum.

This android system usage is NOT normal. I have used APS OPS X per mike Ramseys directions and turned off the option to allow wake locks in android system, google now, maps, Facebook, etc.

Not sure if its working the way it should but my sleep time was way better than before.

Check his Colonel x thread... to learn more

2nd EDIT:

After using the phone for another additional hour just reading posts on Tapatalk and a little bit of news - Android system is way too high with CPU usage. See the attached 3 images. For some reason, the pictures are posted out of order. F$%k It.
