[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] congusto:
When I have a battery drain the first thing I do is give the phone a soft reset. Switch your phone off, take the battery out for a minute, reinsert the battery, do a cache wipe (start up in recovery mode by press and hold VolumeUp-, Home- and On/Off-buttons at the same time, and choose "Wipe cache partition"), then reboot.

Usually that solves the problem. If not, then I will start investigating what is causing wake locks etc.

If everything fails, than I do a factory reset.

To my feeling, people in general tend to do the investigation too soon, leading to nothing and forget to do the soft reset first (which doesn't delete any settings, apps or data, so there's no reason not to try it).

I had an unexplainable battery drain two weeks ago, solved by a soft reset as described, perfect battery since.

In location services (in Google Maps) I've switched off Location History and Location Reporting, which are known battery drainers, but that's pretty much all I do to prevent battery drain. I did notice that Nova launcher takes more battery than the stock launcher, but not enough to skip using it (at least not for that reason).
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zipn:
Even though it don't delete any settings etc. it still helps for some time. but my mobile is as close to stock as it can be, I hardly use anything that could cause this, except if its from android itself/samsung installations. Which it seems to be! :(

How often do you have to do such a painful reset? in my eyes, thats something you have to do, if its Broken!

Starting to belive its exchange, mail_service.

That specific one have 92x wakes in 2hours and all most 2mins used. I Think thats what keeps my phone from having deep sleep going. but its weird cause I only have it syncing calendar, which also show as a specific thing under the "mail_service" and it have like x2 wakes and less than 2sec used...

Apparently this bug is not new! Come on google!

I have read some people having kernel problems. .. and they have fixed it with changing kernel..
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zipn:
Do anyone know a good kernel for note3 ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] congusto:
Speeking of the devil: today my Note3 wouldn't go into deep sleep again. Solved it by again by a soft reset, but start to wonder what triggers it. In my case I suspect the Tomtom app that I used yesterday, which gives me other problems as well every now and then (e.g. when the phone goes into stand by while Tomtom is running in the background).

I guess doing a soft reset on a regular basis is something I should do to keep my phone happy. In that, smart phones are not that different from PC's, which tend to show instability after a while as well if you don't restart them regularly.

But I do agree: in a perfect world it should not be necessary.

Just to make a thing clear though, I am not looking for battery saving tips etc. that would ruin the point of having a smartphone, its all those cool features that makes it worth buying. But knowing it can work WITH all these features and Not drain the battery, makes me crazy mad(I am at the point of returning it as being "defect")! It just destroys my experience of having it when I know something is not right. And it wasnt exactly cheap..

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robandr:
I am also having the same issue with my Note 3. Always the same thing. Works OK for some time after a soft reset and then starts not deep sleeping properly. When viewing at Battery usage it usually shoes "Media" or "Android OS" or "IndexerServices" as the number one.

I am happy with my Note 3 but it is really annoying knowing that your battery is being wasted without real usage.

Have someone contacted samsung or google about this?

Lets keep this going, I am going to contact google about this when i figure out what it is, for now im just being super observing! I did a factory+cache reset this friday and now sunday evening its still working(didnt even charge it all weekend!!!)(https://www.dropbox.com/s/khjosuw9t207paf/Screenshot_2013-12-01-19-35-23.png) I havnt synced it with much yet, but I have a little bee buzzing in my ear, telling me that its very likely something with the samsung_push service/email. So atm I have NOT added any email to the phone. Going to charge it up over night, use it normally all day tomorrow AND- if it still works, ill then at evening add my work email and then do this kinda step by step and check when it ****s up. Cause who am I kidding, if I just contact google/samsung now, they wouldnt care ****.

So it's not only me experiencing this crazy battery drain, mine is strange... I charge my phone to 100% and leave it sitting there for 1 hour and it's down to 97%. Check BBS and no wakelock. This started since after MJ7 firmware... At first i thought i damaged my phone from over charging but someone complained about the same exact issue...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
Discharge numbers from the range 95%-100% are a little unreliable, you might want to gather more reliable info for instance leaving the phone from 90% down to something like 80%.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanley08:
I understand, but I used S2, S3, S4 and now, now 3. Never before,as bad as this. And 100% to 90% used to work just fine. Till MJ7 firmware. I regret updating my phone.

What works for me is long-pressing power button to bring up menu, enabling offline mode, and disabling it after a few seconds. Perhaps it'll work for you too.

Besides, Samsung starter rolling out 4.4, so maybe they'll include a fix, because there is a fix needed.

Android OS prevents note3 from deep sleep

Hi Guys,

From a german-speaking forum I found out that most wakelocks by OS where appearing after having charged the phone. By simply unplugging without having turned on the note3 OS was still running in 200-300 mhz when on battery and screen turned off. I also experienced this problem and always did a soft reset which usually solved it. I will now check this hypothesis thoroughly!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shyam:
I always unplug after unlocking my Note 3. Still always @ 250Mhz (N900, non-rooted). Did Factory reset also after updating to 4.4.2. Most of the apps like Betterbatterystats, BatteryStatsplus, WakeLockDetector doesnt help much as it needs root now. Not able to find out the exact app/reason for not going to Deep Sleep :(

Re: Draining wakelocks Samsung Note 3, now Kitkat isn't s cat's′ meow' as hoped

Hi Shyam,

I also noticed that 4.4.2 prevents apps like BaterStatsplus from extracting the "home-made"statistics. Luckily I expericed much less draining with Kitkat, although new problems arise:

1. Phone Call Recorder doesn't work

2. ExtSdCard can't be written to with some apps (extremely frustrating)

3. Index-Service still slow (4,5 words-only pdf pages (370 words) per second can be scanned) this amounts to 1 GB in about 10 hours...

So I now use Cloud-Services and only have select PDFs on my phone, no more libraries :rolleyes:

If you experience as well other kinks I would be glad to know about them. I am now relaying everything back to Samsung so that they know that rooting seems like the "not-so" last option when they don't deliver upon these issues.

I hope I could console you abit :cyclops:

I just received a Note 3, s800 version, and I have started to notice the battery drain. Stock kitkat non-root, in flight mode (SIM still in my S2) with all the gestures and sensors off. Went from 100% to 97% overnight without doing anything. It seemed to just have started, previously it stayed at 100% overnight. BBS shows that powermanager clumped up wakelock.

Just tried clearing the cache via recovery and disabled google Maps, leaving it overnight again to see if there is any improvement.

Thanks for the info :good:

However, I didnt use 1) & 3), so not sure about that..I have inserted Ext SD card few days back from my Note 1 as it is (without formatting it), but haven't faced any write issues so far..one more thing which I observed today. Stock Music player, i choose the settings in advanced, listen to a song & when it goes to the next song, settings will be reset . The icons/toggles will still show u the settings which you have set, so visually no reset. To actually find the issue, uncheck one of the setting (like 3D, Bass or Clarity & check again & only then you will know that the setting were reset after one song..weird, but another user on our FB group also had mentioned about the same :( In the end, I am slowly heading towards tripping knox :mad:

I wiped cache partition and factory reset every time but to no result.

My suggestion do a step by step troubleshooting :

1. You ROM requires certain amount of space in your internal SD card also. What is the available free space in your internal SD ?

2. External SD "could be" one of the reason. Trying running your phone without ext SD for a day and see if freezing happens ?.

3. Have you used Folder mount or link to SD ?

4. As asked above : " what is your average RAM usage on a regular usage ? "

5. Is your power saving mode on ?

6.I know the new update has rumored to have solved the SDS but still does your note 2 have SDS , To check, install "eMMC Check" from google play and run it. Disregard the message saying Brick bug = No. Sane chip, and look at your eMMC chip type and FWRev.

If your:
