Sorry to hijack the thread.

But any of you here update and factory reset , AND restore games from TB?

All of the games i backed up by Titanium is unable to be opened. :(

However, issue is fixed in v6.1.3 I use 6.1.3 and never need it anymore. ;)

A workable solution for some people is to buy a second battery that you can charge at work. Then you can switch it out when running low. However this doesn't help everyone.

You can always change cpu settings to help abit. You can change per app for example Facebook won't need 2.3Ghz or even multi cores. This may help if you are just doing one task at a time.

I wouldn't say that a normal data 3g usage uses more battery than full brightness. Perhaps constant uploading and downloading but not normal usage.

I'm using N9005 snapdragon version with MJ7. As soon as I got the update I noticed the battery dying, with 'Android OS' using more battery then the screen. Where I once got through the whole day with heavy usage, I could only get about half a day.

I tried wiping the cache of some of the services and that did not work, but luckily after I did a factory data reset the issue seems to be gone. Battery life has been fantastic today!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] maanz "L":
Hi stanley.

It's 96% in 10 hours.

Look at the Android OS, it's eating up only 4%, where most of us had insanely more than that.

Why do u say it didn't mean anything?

[MENTION=4629423]IzArsha[/MENTION]

Are u on MJ7 firmware?

Exynos or Snapdragon?

Please share what u have done here.

Cheers.

Yes i know it doesnt mean nothing. but to me, the MK2 still gave me best battery life i've ever had. When flashing the pacific rom on my note 3 (Pacific Rom that is based on MK1), my battery drain too much. 99%- 93 for over a few minutes when i only open whatsapp.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Lonzo_SGS2_506:
Factory Reset after updating guys...it's the key.. At least for me. Battery on MK2 seems good so far... I have one day on it and it's cool.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] stanley08:
All of you suggesting factory reset, that was the first thing I tried! And I even took it 11 steps further.

This morning btwn 12am to 3am you know what I was doing?

1. Back up Internal SD to PC

2. Back up Ixternal SD to PC

3. Format internal SD

4. Format external SD

5. Flash the latest MK2 ROM in Odin

6. Wiped SD again from stock recovery

7. Root phone

8. Flash custom recovery

9. Copy stuffs back to internal memory

10. Copy stuffs back to my external memory

11. Setup phone (restore apps and the rest).

ALL TO NO AVAIL! Android OS drain still present!

So here is a little tip, If you are thinking of doing this, then don't! There goes 3 hours of My Life I'll never get back! :p

Its actually 100% percent when i was going to sleep, but usually i watched some videos using MxPlayer before i go to sleep. I have Note 3 Exynos version and i'm on stock pre-rooted firmware 4.3 based on N900XXUCMK2. I installed, greenify and greenified all my apps, disabled some of samsung garbage app through setting and that is all what i do. This is what i also did to all my phones. What i really needed is only good battery performance because mostly i'm using my phone for my work. Not for heavy games. I also tried Pacific Rom based on MK1 but i have no idea why it drains my battery too much. I don’t know about other user but I’m happy with my current stock firmware. Gonna stick with this rom for a long time :D

EDIT- Sorry anyway, i also change my screen mode from Adapt Display to Dynamic, Turning on Auto Adjust screen tone and brightness to the lowest. :D

Poor battery life after mj7 firmware update

I did the MJ7 update the other night and wished I had not shortly afterwards as I noticed my battery was disappearing at an alarming rate.

I had 85% left after a full days use before when I was on MJ1 but after a days use on MJ7 I was down to 32%

Read up on XDA and here is the answer for anyone who is experiencing the same issues as me so just do the following

From the phone go to General and scroll to Backup and restore / factory restore and perform the restore from there. Before you do make sure that you have everything backed up either on your PC or through Google or Samsung

Once you have performed the factory restore and restored your phone your battery life will revert back to a much more satisfactory state

Yes admittedly you should not have to do this but this will rectify your phone eating your battery alive

I am happier now I have a phone that lasts 3 days without charging :laugh:

Could I share my opinion? I'm user of Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900 Exynoss Indonesian region ( XSE ).

Right Now I'm using XSE XXUCMJ7 on My note 3 Fully originally flashed by Odin and firmware downloaded from sammobile. last week I flashed XXUCMK2 XSE ( downloaded full firmware 1.4Gb ) so everything back official but warranty bit 1, I rooted the device and use XXUCMK2 XSE and found my N900 temperature a little higher than XXUCMJ7 XSE and battery drain a liitle faster when playing candy crush and temple run oz. I also found that S-Health app run at RUNNING list, when I force stop, S-Health will start again. at MJ7 S-Healt run but not in RUNNING list. as my opinion app that shows in RUNNING list were consume RAM. So after this I flashed full XXUCMJ7 XSE firmware ( Full 1.4Gb ) and root gain, all is fine, but with warranty bit 1.

question

Does everyone experience this???

when charging at off condition until 100%, when start the device, batery meter shows 98% ( always be ). and getting down a little faster to 97 96 95 94 %.

Now charging at On condition until 100%, don't power off the the device. the batery meter shows 100% at getting down a little slower to 99 98 97 96 95 %

This condition valid on my Note 3 SM-N900 and Mega 6.3 I9200 all firmwares.

Note 3 from XXUBMI5 XSE until XXUCMK2 XSE still the same.

Mega 6.3 I9200 from XXUMAEE XSE until XXUBMJ4 XSE still the same.

Does everyone noticed this condition???

Tell me if I'm wrong, I've already experience this condition from official until custom ( rooted ). Please let me know.

Are samsung working on a fix my problem seems to be getting worse I lost 14% battery within 10 hours & I didn't even use my phone nor did I have wifi on or any running apps.

If anyone hasen't informed samsung about this, how can I do so ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] red_brindle:
You call this a problem?? :eek::eek::eek: Oh boy, 1% battery drain in an hour is normal even if your not touching your phone. The CPU still have to use some juice for keeping your phone partially awake and ready for your use the moment you pick it up?

The radio band is always on standby for any message or call that you might received during those 14 hours, will this function don't use your battery? Better turn it off if you really do not want to drain your battery during those 14 hours.:eek::eek:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] AeonXS:
I used to lose only 5-6% before, some users say they only lose 2-3% during sleep time.

On a country based forum here, we have a android thread & G2 owners keep on flaunting their 6-7 hours screen time & keep talking about how they lose only 2-4% during sleep, I used to ignore them untill samsung issues got seripus with these recent useless note 3 updates.

My brother doesn't even want to update to 4.3 JB on his S3 as the Gallary view effects habe been removed & music player now has a flat dill look instead of the shiney sci-fi like effect on the one. I now get why people get pissed at samsung. The phone feels cheap on the OS front.

I'm on XXUDMJ6, and that is the version shipped on the phone. The battery time varies, sometimes is better, sometimes not so good. It is to early to say, since I have it not longer then couple of days.

What I have noticed is that Android proces is higher then it should be, and that is actually because of knox. It always tops in the CPU and RAM usage.

today I woke up with 18% battery missing.

main wakelocks (100% of the time) were BT_bt_wake and Wlan_wake.

so I went down the factory reset road, and reset my device.

for now it seems like factory reset solved the wakelocks issues, but I'll report later on after some testing.

Note 3 Battery drain after MK2 update

Guys, all you need to do is hard reset the note 3. Then when logging back, don't restore Samsung account backed up data.

In my case, formated the memory card, then I did the hard reset 3 times in a row. Now, battery life amazing.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] peped94:
how to do a hard reset ? do u mean factory reset in recovery mode ?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lesaintgb:
Yes. I did hard reset in recovery mode, then cleared system cache (in recovery mode), then 2 x hard reset from settings menu.

Please note: when rebooted, do not restore your Samsung account backed up data. Please see attached screen shot of my battery consumption today, after normal heavy use and long phone calls (3 hours +).

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] !crazy:
It is not important only to look for main wakelocks, but how much time did they hold.

Since this device has two Operating Systems, and root actually doesn't have rights to access Knox, BBS are unfortunately not of much use here IMO.

Or you have root and have removed Knox completely, if possible at all?

I cannot wait to get CM + Nova working on this (my standard configuration.). This is so frustrating.

since mj7 update my battery went really bad!!!!

ive done 1x hardreset , cache wipe , and then restored some of my apps with Helium , no stupid samsung account and "turn off" most of samsung ****ty bloat.

been almost a week since that , and tbh i really dont know what is happening,cos at the first few days i was still having the android OS wakelock and battery drain.

Then im not quite sure if the several reboots or the the airplanemode trick , battery removal and cache wipe helped cos my battery life is almost back to normal ,well at least no more android OS wakelock.its still not as good as it used to be but i can get that almost 4hrs screen on time , and standby time is good.

im still on MJ7 btw...

hope this helps,i know its not a guaranteed solution cos it seems that its a hit or miss.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sekely:
unrooted phone. checked with WLD and BBS - both showed bt_bt_wake taking kernel wakelock 100% of the time

for now, I just disabled my BT (which I used to work with every day).

P.S

the wakelock is taken even if BT is off. once I turned it on, it claims the wakelock, and never release it, even if you turn off BT.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Nazty111:

Hi guys, I'm on the snapdragon note 3. And have had terrible battery life since the mk2 update. Last night I thought I'd test the wakelocks over night but found something more puzzling. I turned off data, wifi, and GPS (along with any other location settings). Over the course of about 7 hours sleep I lost 18 percent battery and battery stats show that wifi and GPS were on all night even though they are switched off!

Considering a factory restore through recovery. Any other ideas before I go ahead??
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kylexda12:
I have just factory resetted 5 times. 3 times in system settings and twice in the recovery menu. I have also cleared cache for the nth time.

...And battery life still hasn't improved. Android OS is still eating up my battery. MJ7 sucks.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] peped94:
i think i found a solution for battery drain in mj7. first thing i do is clear cache and data of media storage then reboot but it didnt solve for me. after that, go to setting and application manager. find google play store, google service framework, google search and google play service. clear data and cache all of them and reboot your phone. after about 2-3 charging cycle, u can see improvement in battery life. all of u can try this method because it works well for me

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Sinsst:
Some information which might be helpful. I recently updated from SGSII to Note 3 and clueless installed all the updates. However i haven't inserted a sim yet and i'm only using it to play around right now. The first charge after the updates was really bad, with android (something) having 60% of battery usage like everyone. However i put the phone on airplane mode, let the battery die and fully charged it. I turned it on without having wifi/internet active, played around with it, installed apps, etc. with excellent battery life; drained ~50% in 2 days. Important to note that i only had wifi on when i used it, and immediately turned it off when i didn't need it. Last night i decided to leave the wifi on all night, and woke up with the batter at 1% massively drained again by the android system/kernel. I fully charged it, wifi off and for the past 4 hours it seems that everything is back ok again, android stuff is back at 12% usage after i played around with it a bit.

Cliffs: it's an issue related to wifi/internet connection which triggers the android system/kernel to never go to sleep and kill the battery. As a fix you could try activating the wifi/internet only when you need it and turn it off rest of the time, and it might go back to normal (at least for me it worked). Hope ppl find this info useful.

Possible cause of battery Drain

So, I had battery drain on MJ7 and upgraded to MK2. On MK2 I still had battery drain issue. So I was simply resetting to clear the issue. Interestingly I noticed that over weekends I wasn't getting any battery drain. And then, over xmas/New Year I did not have any battery drain at all. Then, I come into work and my battery starts draining again. Even more interesting - someone I work with noticed exactly the same thing. So, we are now thinking it's related to WiFi. Not WiFi in general but a specific setup - i.e. I used my home WiFi every day over xmas and had no battery drain, so it's not my home WiFi. We have a number of Wifi AP's at work. Perhaps wifi roaming or frequency is causing the issue. Anyway, I've turned off wifi and will wait to see if the battery drain returns.
