Screen percentage at 9? This just proves you barely used your phone what's the point of have or showing off 2~3 days when your not really using your phone i just don't understand what's the purpose. Heck i could go 30 days if i leave my phone idle and bet it would still be above 50% of battery but whats the point lol?

By trial and error, I turned off Location Services and my battery life increased significantly. This seems to be an issue with Kit Kat. Did not have this battery issue before the update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bobbyphoenix:
I'm really trying to figure out why the Android System is always on top. It doesn't add up when you compare actual use. Mine is showing Android System at 21%, and Screen at 20%, but if you go into each one it shows Android System only used for 5h 52m 48s, and Screen used for 13h 34m 0s. I wonder if there is a bug report out there somewhere with Google. The use is just odd to me. I used to rely on it, but now I don't think I can. Maybe it's calculating all those thing listed individually, and that is making it show first? ugh...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] HothTron:
So heres some real comparison results from how my last 2 new Note 3's were behaving battery wise on KitKat vs how my 3rd replacement Note 3 battery usage is on the stock Jelly Bean 4.3 out of the box from the T-Mobile Store.

Again, the results on the KitKat battery drain was attempted to be fixed doing the following on both Note 3's I had with no change in battery draining usage. So for those of you stating I did something "wrong* or didn't "try" to troubleshoot this problem on two different brand new Note 3's can bite me, hard.

1. Cleared partition cache after Kitkat update as well as factory reset on both Note 3's on Kitkat

2. Two different SIM cards

3. Tried with and without A-Data microSD card. Did not format SD card due to large amounts of personal data.

4. Factory reset and rebuilding after Kit Kat update

5. Forcefully stopping Knox and Lookout from running in background

6. Yanked out battery and reinstalled after 3 minutes along with reseating SD card

Possible Fix to Kitkatt Battery Drain

So i too have been suffering from the same battery drain since i updated to Kitkatt. I tried everything tip i could find.My battery was dropping 6% + an hour(CRAZY!) So last night i was searching online driving myself crazy about this issue. Then i thought about and old app i used on my S3 and Note 2. I didnt ever need to use it on my Note 3 until now with the Kitkatt update. So i installed it this morning, did a battery and sim card pull, for good measure and bam! i went for 6% drain per hour to 1%!!! So i recommend installing this app, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eugene373.cpu.sleep. you must be rooted and it only cost a $1.00, so give it a shot. It sure helped me. im running rooted stock n900tuvucnb4, stock kernel. i will post battery info later tonight when i get home.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cuezaireekaa:
I think one of the cores gets stuck at max every once in a while with Samsung's latest kernel. That's what I've gathered from the sounds of some of these posts. It's happened to me as well. CPU spy and trickster have both shown it happening on different occasions with their respective CPU monitors. For me core 3 would get stuck. It has happened on multiple ROMs when I use stock kernel. Gonna keep an eye to see if its a problem with other kernels but I use CPU sleep too so that may be why I haven't seen it in a while. Gonna freeze it...

A few things that will help, even without root, in wifi under advanced settings, make sure no boxes are checked, turn off sync, location, and gps if you don't need them, and download an app called greenify, you can use some of the features without root. It will still help a ton.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
Zduece gave really good advice. Some of the same things I do to. You should really check out an app like Better Battery Stats or such to see if your phone is sleeping ok, any wakelocks check in particular partial wakelocks and alarms. Always a good start too. But from my experience its mainly certain apps that in some way or another will cause major battery drain. If battery is very important to you it would be cool to root only so that you have the ability to remove or freeze some of the unneeded apps that constantly run in the back and you would be able to hibernate system apps with greenify if rooted. But not totaly necessary. You dont really have to be rooted to have a long battery life. If you do what Z said and check out your wakes, make sure your phone is sleeping the way it should you should easily get a day out of it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Mr Ian B:
Thanks sshafranko for the info. Can u explain the importance of awake times and how to make sure it is doing the way it is supposed to. Will download the app u mentioned and check wake times.

Ian B
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ZDeuce2:
In a wonderful world, where google and samsung apps work properly, when you aren't using you phone, said apps should (kill) turn themselves off, but in the real world, Google and samsung want to know everything you do so they can sell you more things... so their apps never completely shut off, keeping your phone from going into deep sleep, thus saving the most battery possible. Anyway apps running in the background keep the phone from sleeping, thus creating wakelocks, or staying awake. Wakelock detector, and Better Battery Stats are two of the better apps at tracking awake apps so you can do something to stop them.

Not looking too bad, not sure what your screen time is... without rooting your phone that's looking good so far though. If you do decide to root at some point, get rid of as many g apps as possible, (chrome, and music) being 2 that I see, use replacements when possible.

That said, if your phone is running right your screen should always be the biggest drain on your battery, so you're good there.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Mr Ian B:
Ok, appreciate your time and checking. Will keep monitoring battery for rest of the week with your app recommendations. It just sucks that before kit kat, I was getting almost 2 days and now I can barely get 20 hours with same usage. As for rooting, with Knox being an issue, not up for rooting and tripping it as it may cause an issue if I need warranty work. Once out of warranty, I may root it. What's the best rooting method u recommend out there and can you link that thread please.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Eric214:
Yeah screen should be on top always but 20% android system is not a good sign. Same as 42% awake time. That some SERIOUS wakelocks. I would never think almost 50% of the time my screen is off my phone is not sleeping i know im rooted but even when i was on Stock rooted my phone never was awake more then 5% and now rooted its awake 1% usually and 2% tops unless im using my music player then maybe 14% awake

Looks like greenify and battery doctor apps are doing their job and my battery life has increased dramatically overnight for being on kit kat stock non rooted.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ZDeuce2:
In my opinion, reseting is more a placebo effect than anything, clearing you cache and dalvik cache do more in clearing out garbage. But I would still use the apps, they do alot to stop wakelocks. Without them your battery will suffer.

Check it out [MENTION=5135249]benji667[/MENTION]

Since you asked about battery life in pm, I figured I'd post it here.

I haven't given it much standby time but when I did allow it to sleep (pretty much while I slept and when ppl around me would leave me alone at work lol) it didnt drop a %. I left WiFi and GPS on also as well as sync

during the work week I'll get a better idea of how it sleeps for longer periods. But by that time I'll be testing r15 colonel and compulsion, and whatever is flying at that time. :fingerscrossed:

But you should have no problem getting at least 6- 7 and even a good 8 hours screen... Unless you're doing hardcore gaming or brightness to the max.

'Greenify' and 'app ops x' in effect most definitely. I always use those apps.

And in App ops x, I turned off wake lock in the usual suspects. Google + Facebook, android system, maps, and a few other apps I run that start up by themselves occasionally.

BTW some cores have been getting stuck and running without going offline and that is probably been why most people have had bad battery. I really hope samsung fixes this.

I use a program called System Monitor which allows me to see which cores are on and which are off and then basically I toggle dvs.. In wanam, and try not to allow my phone to run until they go offline like they're supposed to. Usually after a reboot. PItA I know..

EDIT: I wanted to update this post with some more stats that display and more minimal approach to usage

I am uploading a couple more shots displaying that I m at the 15hr mark again with lighter use and the battery is still amazing to say the least.

And with such usage, I'm happy to report that Android System is still not taking the first spot, reserving that for the screen usage at 2 hours.

--- I will update again when I'm at the 5% left mark and see where I'm at. I'm on par for at least 7hrs screen and a couple days easy.

Tapatalk is acting strange when uploading, but the first couple shots were

*16hrs total. Almost 8hrs screen and about 18% left.

2nd cycle isn't such heavy usage and has me at

*15hrs total with a little over 2hrs screen, and 75% left.

3rd set of pics are at the 50% mark!

Kit kat is the best battery I've had on this phone period. Just takes some messing with which shouldn't be what we HAVE to do, but what can ya do..

Over 1 day and over 4hrs screen with 50%left
