In my experience my Note 3 experiences crazy battery drain for no reason when it's been on for around 12 hours, regardless of my usage, the battery begins to plummet. It doesn't happen all the time but it does happen often enough.

Only a restart corrects it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] funkybone:
I got 20% brightness, average gaming, 30% browsing of the whole day.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lbreak:
20% brightness? How many hours is your screen on for?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Fishawy:
I dunno .. Changed kernels, changed governors, still the same. Could it be related to the new builds NF3 & NG1? It wasn't like that before ..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lbreak:
I think it may be as I've experienced increased issues since installing the new Kernel. I'm on NF3.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Fishawy:
NG1 here. Maybe [MENTION=4702699]stanley08[/MENTION] can help .. ?

No change

No change after flashing Xnote v7 rom and CivZ kernel for 4.3 JB.

I've done all the steps, debloated, greenified.

Same 3 hours SOT. On normal usage.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Amar.B:
Try to buy a new battery and test maybe your current battery is damaged
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MuhammadZeeshan7:
Is it normal that my note 3's battery drain much quickly. Even without any use after 30%.

it drains from 30% to 1% with not more than 30mins of Screen on time. Could it be firmware's fault?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MSK1:
Download greenify.... shuts down apps in background
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MuhammadZeeshan7:
Almost all apps are greenified. Some system apps are converted to user apps and greenified too!

No rogue apps on BBS and no such wake locks.

I'm on Xnote 7 with CivZ kernel 4.3 and battery life is same as stock. Even after underclocking and undervolting a bit.

I suspect it's the battery itself!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Amar.B:
Just to make sure restore into recovery make a factory reset. if you are in stock firmware that's not normal if you are on custom Rom ask the Dev about your issue if no one has your issue then it's because of your battery got damaged. . i don't want to make you waste your money because i just said so.. if you are rooted install BBS battery battery stats and post some screen shots here..
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Fishawy:
I still don't get it ..

Losing 4% battery in 45 min of standby (With power save on), then 7% in 68 min (Also with power save on)? What could be causing the "Android System" to be that high?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Amar.B:
It's android system what cause a drain issue you have.. simply reboot into recovery clean cache 3 times then reboot you should be fine after that, this a common issue with NF4 firmware and some older firmwares
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Fishawy:
Will try that and see, thanks.

note 3 exynos version

Unrooted note 3 exynos version. Two months old. No special tweeks or settings. Am Overall satisfied with the phone. Battery time is ok but still am Just fed up from charging again and again. Wish battery had some more juice. Am getting 7 hrs screen time which includes gaming, internet browsing and youtubing. I use autobrightness always set at +5.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Graffiti Exploit:
Try this:

1. Turn off phone.

2. Charge until full and wait a few minutes(5-10).

3. Unplug charger and turn on device.

4. Plug again charger until full and wait a few minutes. The longer the better but not so long.

5. Enjoy better battery life.

With this method I get around 10 hours of screen-on time. Less depending on what kind of games I'm playing.

Hope it helps!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lbreak:
I've heard people recommending this method since the S2.

Have you tried the difference in battery life if you don't use this method?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Graffiti Exploit:
Yes. It has quite the difference. If I use this method, I get around 10hours of screen-on time.

If I do the charging with the phone on, I only get around 7-8 screen-on time.

I've done this a couple of times and it really is consistent.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] 12gage:
I've done just about everything to maximize battery I think with the exception of this. is this something you do when you notice your screen time/total battery life starting to drop off, or is this something you have to do every time you charge in order to get these results?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Graffiti Exploit:
I do this in the morning, when I have to(like if I haven't charged for days), before I leave the house because after that I won't really need a charger for a while. This is basically a charging habit. It's like really filling the battery because no apps or services aren't using the phone when it is turned off(kinda).

Greenify receiving competition :)...

Deep Sleep Battery Saver

Anyone with Root and Xposed installed, this should be something very new, and maybe a game changer :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] muena90:
For me it's not really an alternative to Greenify.

You have to accept delayed notifications and due to the fact that I barely have wakelocks (thanks to Greenify), I don't think that it would bring a noticeable improvement of battery life.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lbreak:
I tried this method a couple of times just for the heck of it sure that it's just placebo with no effect.

Funny thing is it actually does improve battery life. Standby drain is improved for me with this method. Go figure!

[Galaxy Note 3 General] Brazu:
I'm kind of dissapointed here. I bought a DooGee DG800 for my wife last week.... the point is that I charged her phone and mine (SGS4) to 100% and let them in stand by.

When I woke up this morning my S4 was on 85% an her DooGee was in 99%.

Hope I could have those battery drain rates when in stand by.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Squabl:
Is it normal that my battery drains quicker the less power I have left? 100%->90% lasts probably twice as long as 50%-40%.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Squabl:
I wish that there would be a standardized test for battery life. It would be nice to see how well my own device would stand against similar devices in similar use. Others get screen on time over 10 hours and some just few. My own screen time varies greatly. Sometimes I barely get 5 hours of screen time, but when using the phone only for reading etc. I can get easily over 12 hours.

I have my own test routine which I use to see how my battery has degraded over the time. In Google play there is a program called Battery Test Utility. I use that program to run a same video file at full brightness in a loop mode until battery hits 15% mark. Then the test stops by itself and gives results...

I attach some screenshots of light usage scenario. (Over 3 days on battery, with screentime over 12 hours.) Phone was in airplane mode at nights and during day it was in 3g mode with data traffic on all times.

Hi guys i just bought my note 3 a week ago, i think my battery is really bad is this normal?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Amar.B:
It's normal buddy you are playing games which is cpu uses all 4 cores that's why you battery drain more quickly
[Galaxy Note 3 General] xdajinro:
I read a lot of forums before buying this phone, almost all users agree that the battery life of note 3 is superb, my phone can't last a whole day even with minimal usage,
[Galaxy Note 3 General] kinxox:
I have tried all options: Wakelock, save mode, disable global sync, gps, bluetooth, data and wlan, restart the phone, clear cache, greenified all open apps with root access. All this things have brought me 1 second deep sleep time a day (10 hours)! Oh yes, only 1 second! Great, right?

My last thing was a kernel change to AEL Kernel v7.1 - for Note 3 N9005 with Kitkat. Now is my phone 52m online, with 32 m screen on and 18 m 31 s deep sleep! Oh yes!:D
[Galaxy Note 3 General] spicydicy:
It's not a handhold gaming machine. To use it as such and expect higher than normal battery life is a mistake.

To be honest, you're averaging over 4 hours screen time playing those games is more than acceptable. Most devices just touch 4 hours screen time total on day to day basic smart phone usage.

Invest in another battery, a portable charger, carrying a charger around with you, or start being more social and stop playing as many games on your phone!

If those arent things you want to do, you will have to be prepared for the battery life you are getting.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] xdajinro:

A quick question if you don't mind, all i have to do is just use odin to install this custom kernel? Do i have to check some compatibility issues 1st?

---------- Post added at 03:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 AM ----------

The problem is i only play for 30 to 40 min, according to the gsm batt i should be able to get 4h of screen time but i only get 2 hours of screen time max( just browsing no games)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] lbreak:
It's a mystery. Short of rooting and watching your phone all day every day like a hawk, there's no way to repeating some of the great battery stats people post here.

There's really no way of getting consistent battery performance across different Note 3 handsets, or on Android in general. It's a lottery.

The OS does too much heavy lifting in the background causing huge battery drain in sleep/standby. At times the phone will sleep like a baby, at others it's up with a fever the whole time!

I lost 3% battery in 30 min and im just browsing, is this normal?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] versus4582:
I liked that suggestion :good: The best battery saver for all of us :)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ericbajana:
If you use it for gaming, don't expect a whole day of battery. :p However for minimal-moderate use (few mins of calls, text, fb updates), it should last at least one day. If it doesn't, it may be a sign of a problem. Check if you have installed apps that run constantly in the background. Also, avoid installing too many monitoring apps, they themselves use up quite a significant amount of juice.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] xdajinro:

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Battery life fix

The battery life after KITKAT update sucks.But i just found this trick and it kinda made my battery life wayyy better than before. i am using Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005 (international version).

Just dial *#0228# in the dialer and it will open BATTERY STATUS Menu.Click on QUICK START. After the test, charge the phone fully without any interruption . I hope that ll solve the problem. This trick made my battery life a lot better than before.

I dont know if it is gonna work on all the Note 3 models but u can give it a try.

4. Greenify: EVERY rooted user must have Greenify! It's a fantastic app! It hibernates apps that you are not using so they never get to use your battery, yet the apps are available whenever you need them. No stress!

Download Greenify here - https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...sfeng.greenify (I bought the paid version as it has more fuctions)

For those who don't know greenify or how to use it, it's simple! Only Greenify those apps you don't rely on for Push Notifications.

For example, don't greenify apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, Viber, Twitter, BBM if you expect to get notifications from them in the background.

Feel free to Greenify other apps like your games, adobe reader, dictionary, and the rest of them as you don't receive notifications from.

Starting from Greenify v2.0, even None Rooted users will be able to use Greenify Just without the option of Automatic hibernate, however.. It's still Great!

TIP: If you are a Non-Root Greenify user, I will highly recommend that you put the 'Hibernate Now' widget on ur homescreen so that you have one-touch hibernation. Just tap it before you lock ur screen or at anytime really. I'm a Rooted user and I made it a habit already! Tap then lock screen

Greenify is a FANTASTIC app!

Note 3 N9005 (Rooted w/o Custom recovery and stock rom)

Should i be worried that the maximum i ever had with my phone was like something about 4 hours of screen time? Like 1 day and 4 hours and it was at 10% with 4h of screen time, i can't remember exactly.. On average i do 2-3 hours of screen time with again a day or two without charging.. That was before the root, although it's the same nothing has changed not to worst not to best.. If someone like you guys can get 9 hours of screen time then there's definetely something wrong with my phone.. :eek:

strange thing is happening with my note 3 .
