[Q] high battery drain - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've got the n7105 and from the start have noted battery life significantly worse than reported by users here.
I usually have lte disabled signal strength is typically good.
This is without heavy usage and lte disabled.
Any ideas or ways to find the culprit.?
Thanks

Do you close every app after use? Make sure to kill it every time you close.
I see MAPS is running. Make sure to turn GPS off when not needed.
Screen will always take up the most depending on brightness.
Delete any apps you don't use or think that are messing with it also.

Also, after 4 hours at %78 is pretty darn good. regardless of use.

You should tell what is your flash history
35 minutes screen on and 75% battery isnt too bad by the way

My flash history is GB(LL2) -> MB2 (with pit file= repart.) -> mc8 BTU -> sakuradroid cm10 (be_02b) -> xxmf1 and stuck at bootanimation which repeat again and again then -> re-flash mc8 BTU and then -> xxmf1.
Screen brightness is about 40% so I can't reduce it.
OP look to my battery thread. (from begining!)
1stly Forget calibration- Enough said
2ndly The problems with your battery drains are: Screen is too high on 51% try lowering your brightness a little. And the second problem is 3G in combination with facebook and browser.
up: bull..it
I have brightnes allways 100% with 3g ,fb, 2x email , and torrent and I have better score 2x. He have propably problems with OS or battery but Android sometimes have battery life like that and this is normal.
From 100% can go down to 90% very fast and then slower...look on overal battery score and try another rom

Root booster longer battery better stability and speed

This app is the single most amazing app I've used for my device. I encourage anyone who reads this to install root booster and try it. I have the full version, I wanted more battery life. I run a rom that I currently get 6 to 7 hours on screen time. I use to without this app get only 2 to 3 hours on screen time. I know it works and wanted to share it with my xda friends. How I tested it was to do my best to get as much on screen time as possible. Then I did the same but with the battery boost on this app. If you like it please shoot me a thanks and post and tell me what it's done for you. I first say my improvement when I was at 3 hours on screen time and I had 50% battery still left. I was shocked. Normally I'd be at 1%.

Where's the app?
I am assuming he is talking about this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-root-booster-boost-performance-t2909836
Google Play link
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ram.memory.booster.cpu.saver&hl=en
Gotta say this app works!
I was skeptical at first to pay $1.30 and see an improvement but I was wrong. I paid the $1.30 (google opinion rewards gave me the money for that, great app too) and turned on the battery boost and I can see SIGNIFICANT increase of battery. Especially on standby. As well as browsing and watching videos. If you struggle to get an extra hour on the phone Buy This!
I'm running Alliance 4.4.2 with a lot of xposed mods. 2hrs screen time at 50% with Root Booster and that's exceptionally good! What's even more amazing is that I sense absolutely no lag or slower run of the phone.

Worth the change? :)

Hello,
I've the Galaxy Gear 1 (that has its limitations) and I am planning to change it to the Sony Smartwatch 3. Is it a wise change? Anyone in the same situation?
Thanks.

I'd say the battery drain issues are fixed. And yes, this watch is definitely worth the change.
I am coming from Gear 2 and I must say the overall experience is better.
It is smooth, lots of apps, and it handles notifications much better than the Samsung (what is the main reason for a smartwatch).
Not everything is better, I miss the led screen and Te 4 day battery life.
Also the random battery drain is still an issue....
Overall I love the watch would not go back mainly because the better overall experience.
I;m thinking of this exact jump.. Gear 2 to SW3. Were you on tizen or android wear on gear 2? What are a couple of key features you like about sw3 vs gear 2, aside from notification. I am hoping that GPS is good for golf.. Aside from battery life, are there any other drawbacks?

Poor battery life

I have an LG G3 16GB and have been disappointed with the battery life for some time now, with the Android system typically being the culprit according to battery doctor with it using 64% on average. Oddly when I go into android settings and view battery use it's telling me the usage is...
Android OS 17%
Screen 17%
Cell standby 12%
Android System 8%
So battery doctor is telling me one thing and the native battery use app is telling me another.
I do find the phone get's quite hot around the camera area which is annoying as I am a light user. When I view the battery doctor app it's telling me the amazon apps (kindle & shop) are trying to restart 40 or 50 times over a period of an hour.
Anyhow would I be better off downgrading to Kitkat or maybe trying another ROM such as CM12. Any other suggestions welcome?
What's your SoT?
I'm assuming that you're on LG Stock Lollipop ROM. If that is true, go ahead and check Gabriel's Kernel and apply Bullet's or any other settings that suits you. My phone used to suck battery real fast, but I factory reset my phone and flashed Gabriel's Kernel and applied Bullet's settings. It helped, to say at least. I got 3.45 SoT unlike before (2.40 SoT). So yeah. Also, don't forget to use greenify. Currently I'm on AOSP and the battery isn't that far than stock with Gabriel's Kernel. Note that sometimes the kernel lags.

After you take the OTA update, do a factory reset, it helped my battery.

Having the same issues, I think it's a few misbehaving apps. Haven't narrowed it down yet but I have noticed bluetooth is showing up high on the list of battery users.
