Lol OK I guess I will smash the crap out of it and say my car ran it over.

Also I hate the bugs in this phone with Samsung Watchon and magazine crashing and rendering my phone unresponsive for a couple of seconds.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xxmelissaxx:
Can Someone Please Help Me? my battery has been fine until a few days ago ..lookout is causing serious drain and also overheating which is causing my phone to lag any ideas on how to fix this?

The only thing different is that I hooked up my gear the other day , don't know if anyone is seeing the same issues or if that would have anything to do with it?

Any help is appreciated thanks ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xcaliburpcs:
Have you tried uninstalling lookout? That's taking a big hit on your battery
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xxmelissaxx:
I can't uninstall it came pre loaded on the phone, and I'm stock :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] fredrick1213:
You should be able to disable it by going to application manager in settings. Find Lookout and push turn off I believe
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xxmelissaxx:
Ok thanks I completely forgot about that lol ..I'll give it a shot ..I'm going to turn off my gear tonight so see if it's related first , I really wanna know what could be causing this problem..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] charlie81:
how is the gear working out for you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xxmelissaxx:
I'm actually really loving it ..it's pretty useful , I wasn't going to buy one after seeing so many people saying it was no good for the price , then my boyfriend ends up giving it to me as a birthday present and I'm glad he did , I like not having to take my phone out of my bag every time I get a phone call or text and the camera is actually really good.

I wasn't expecting much but this is definitely something I'll be using everyday.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] charlie81:
thanks for the info

Awesome battery life

This is with no battery savers and completely stock.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] elracing21:
Same as I recommended to another user. Your Google services is destroying your battery life. Taking at least 2 hours on screen from your experience.

How would I fix that
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Warrior1975:
Greenify. Convert it to user app, then Greenify it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xxmelissaxx:
Are you using lookout ? Do you notice any issues like I'm having , I ask because it's only been happening since I got the watch and I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it? My phone is running really hot as well and getting some lag ..I'm debating on returning it ..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PrettyPryncess:
You should check your setting on lookout. I use it and it doesn't kill my battery I'm a semi moderate user semi heavy user and I still manage to get great battery life.

Sent from Pretty Pryncess via my Galaxy Note 3?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xxmelissaxx:
Everything is checked, I was getting great battery life too with no problems from lookout until I linked my galaxy gear to my phone, I'm doing Some tests to find out if that's what causing it to go Crazy. .thanks :D

I turned off lookout from day one as it was too intrusive w constant notifications. Note never gets hot at all for me.

Batt life great here
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kitsunisan:
Sorry, it's 2am and I'm not really awake right now, but could you go a bit more into that? I just grabbed Greenify because of recommendations here and am still poking around with it. I checked in TB and Google Services is already a user app, so it's recommended to put that in hibernation? Or are there certain services, such as the Play store, that I should convert to user apps and hibernate? I don't want to do screw up and shut down Gmail or something else I need by mistake.

Or I could just sleep and work on this tomorrow, might be the best bet, lol. For some reason I seem to do all of my modding around this time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] elracing21:
There is a thread somewhere with way more information on what you should greenify and other battery saving tips. Unfortunately I can't find it. Try searching. If I find it I'll update this post.

What I did was move Google services as a user app and greenified it. Also greenified maps and tmobiles my account. You can do the play store so it stops checking for updates or updates on its own in the backround. When greenified it won't update until you launch the app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kenscivic:
Mine had a similar issue. It felt less responsive than my Note 2 as well. So on power saver, screen to minimum and in airplane mode I lost roughly 14% in about 1-1/2 hours while at the t-mobile store exchanging it in. Lots of FCs as well.

I do not think mine was just a battery issue. It felt like a piece of junk. I wanted to swap it out for a note 2 honestly, until I got a fully functioning note 3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
Agreed. Disabling Look Out was the first thing I did to mine. Don't want no lame program running on the note 3.

Media Server

So... how much is your 'MediaServer' percentage? Yesterday it happened to me, my battery barely lasted a full day, and it was the damn MediaServer depleting it, easy fix: Set Google Music Sync Off...

Lemme know if it helps :eek:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DAGr8:
not sure what happened , I think the display stayed on all day for some reason must have been some settings I put in :eek: ..

right now after 4 hours lost 7% and im 48 % google service . 2 % media service ..

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] fredrick1213:
I mostly use my phone for texting, calls, web surfing, Instagram, Snapchat, and pretty much every other social network. I slept for about 8 hours as well though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jhobert:
Good for u, I do the same but only get maximum 10hrs on my battery
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] darkjedi:
Finally made it to 9 hours of screen on time. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shadowjin:
I've gotten

1 day and 7 hours with decent use and had 23% left.. brightness set to automatic and No WiFi.

This time i'm trying brightness set to automatic with WiFi on.

I have everything from T-mobile disabled, T-mobile TV etc including look out security. Only left the hot spot app alone. Disabled smart screen (watches your face than turns off) when your not looking at it and set the screen time out to 1 minute. Disabled hand gestures until I figure out if I need it.I also shut off continuous scan and alert if any open WiFi are available set to off. (will only turn this on when i'm in a populated area like Airport or downtown)

Before I was getting 8-10 hours but I let the phone die off , plugged it in and let it charge to 100% while (off).. Than unplugged and turned it on. Those were my results. I only slept for 5 hours straight but woke up to blinking LED lights on the phone for Facebook, email and text-message.

EDIT: Only turned on S beam and NFC .Have no games installed yet only using: FB, G+, hangouts, email , browser, Instagram, Reddit, Flipboard , Wikipedia, Google news app, News 360, and Google now texting and text to voice etc also took a few screen shots and 3 pictures. I am using Nova Launcher with custom icons and UCCW widgets (clocks)..I DISABLED AUTO SYNC IN BACKGROUND from all my reader apps and manually do it myself when I enter them.

NOTE: I did not use power savor. (I don't believe in crippling the core speed for battery life) that was set to off.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] zildjian89:
Loving this phone! Totally a beast!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] xFrozen:
Here's my story:

For the first 2-3 charge cycles (fully charge and use until dead), battery life was terrible. It was going down a lot while idle and 4G & LTE were draining more than usual. I got about 4h screen time in a total of about 18 hours. Pretty disappointing.

THEN.. in the 3rd or 4th charge cycle, it kinda doubled :D In 20 hours I am getting about 8h screen time (or 5h screen time in about 30 hours). This is with low brightness (30% or less). 3 Gmail accounts syncing. 1 Outlook exchange account. Bluetooth audio and video for 2-3 hours. Half the time on WiFi and the other half on LTE. I'm surprised this phone does not drain much on LTE at all!

I have a bunch of bloatware frozen using TItanium Backup (all the T-Mobile apps and some Samsung apps).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Halor:
Not meaning to be a bother but could someone explain how four hours for 100% to zero EVEN with lookout activated is true????
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] zildjian89:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Gerr1985:
My Setup: All stock, rooted

All were on the entire time: BT, WiFi, GPS...

I have a Pebble watch that is always connected

Email: 2 x Gmail accounts, and an Exchange mail (configured with Touchdown)

Greenify installed and configured, most of the battery hogging system apps have been turned to "user apps" with Titanium Backup.

As you will see below in the screenie, I had not yet fixed the "Google services" hog. This was all under moderate use, some gaming (mini golf and Dice with Buddies), moderate texting, and a few calls. I'm expecting it to be a little better on Idle now. Not bad for a first test run :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] TrevTec:
Okay, I can't tell if my battery life is normal for 100% stock and bloated.. either something is wrong, or everyone else knows something that I don't, because I can barely pass a day of battery with less than 3 hours of screen time. There's nothing else I can think of that can be killing my battery since nothing strange is in my battery stats. Even with all the bloat, I don't think I should be under 3 hours of screen time. Is this correct? What am I missing here?

Not so great battery life for me.....

There seems to be a bug with Exchange Activesync. I had the same problem initially with my Note2 but one of the several "tricks" solved it (deleting and recreating the account).

So far I've gone through lots of hoops but it still continues to hammer my battery and roughly 12 to 14 hours is what I get depending on the day and usage. I've had worse phones but no where near what I was getting with my Note 2 or what others are getting with the Note 3. It is however not the hog the original Note was.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jhobert:
Here is mine. Dont know if its normal but I barely make it a day in my battery unless I dont use it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] babyshanks:
I find playing games or surfing drains it pretty quickly cause of the screen, but with moderate use I find my battery outlast any other phone I've had. Here's mine earlier tonight before quickly draining it with real racing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ortind200:
so which has better battery life? the note 2 or note 3?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
Screen brightness can make a very big difference. Yesterday, I was at an outdoor neighborhood BBQ and turned up the brightness on my Note 3 almost to max. It is not something I normally do since I don't normally use my phone outside a lot. 50% gone in about 4 hours. Still not bad.

I was using the camera a lot and near the end even doing some video. The phone was very usable in all but direct sunlight for most of the functions.

I didn't save a graph or anything though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XooLoo:
What do you think of mine?! I think the battery drainage is directly related to screen time. I've seen some with over 14 hours on battery but only around 4 hours of screen time... or some with over 20 hours of use but still around 4 hours with screen on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] @rbiter:
geez. what are y'all doing with your phones? playing asphalt 7 or madden 25 all the time? i get 3.5h to 5h of screen on time depending if all cellular or wifi with 50% battery left.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] XooLoo:
No game whatsoever. Heavy Google Voice SMS use, heavy Chrome browsing, and heavy AquaMail email (no Exchange, no music streaming, not even many minutes of voice calls)...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] @rbiter:
i wouldn't exactly call that heavy. i've been doing browsing with 3 different browsers, youtube, bluetooth musci streaming mixed in occasional 5 minute voice calls all over wifi with terrible cell signal on the weekend and getting 4h + SOT eazy peazy. during my work week with terrible signal most of time, and i haven't been using the great wifi because i've been pushing my phone hard, i've been getting 3.5-4.25h SOT which should improve when i start mixing wifi back in. and during the week i have about 30m of bluetooth streaming in the morning and about 45m on the way home. i am using an int'l 9005 rom though and using my phone as 1.5ghz dual core with 75mv undervolt with mix of ondemand and interactive governor. hopefully when team blackout updates the gapps and a couple of others i will update some apps because before i flashed int'l rom i was pulling down better numbers during my work week. right now, i am sitting at 50% over 15.5h with 4h 22m screen time which include about 30m bluetooth streaming, about 2h of snes emulator using moga hero power controller over bluetooth and the rest being youtube and xda and a dash of web browsing over wifi.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] @rbiter:
Depends. Gotta consider how you use your phone. I've been testing like crazy since I got it. I get 8h+ if I don't play games and only use cellular data. But I'm running as dual core 1.5ghz with power save, sync, mobile data, -75mv and GPS on. I get more if I turn off GPS. If I let it run with same stuff mentioned with all cores full blast and the undervolt I get 6-8h SOT depending what I do. If I use WiFi only for data I get 9-10h+ no matter how I run it. You should be able to get 6h SOT minimum with no games.

I don't know if someone has mentioned this before but if you have the problem where Google Services is eating your battery, go into Setting - Generals - Account - Google - "Your google account" and uncheck all of the things that you don't use. I only sync contacts, gmail, calendar and keep.

It will stop Google Services keeping your phone awake all the time.

Coming from the S4 where I barely got a day of modest usage to the Note 3, I am blown away by the battery life. I am on a stock rooted rom with the stock kernel and I don't even feel motivated to fiddle with kernels and undervolting or underclocking. This is way good enough for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sshafranko:
Yea thats awesome I totaly agree. Amazing how efficient this cpu must be compared to my n2 as I forgot exactly but I think they only went up 100 or 200 mah from the n2 battery. I havent had a chance to test fully because ive been flashing and messing around just about every day since I picked mine up but this is what I got a few days back. Cant wait to fully test it without fiddling around.

Yea thats a big one, all the location settings are huge too if you dont use gps every day keep them off, always allow scanning and keep wifi off during sleep in advanced wifi settings, turn off playstore notifications and auto update in playstore settings, and control your sync within apps and general sync toggle will all help a bunch.
