Hello, im new to these forums so first of all excuse me if i do something wrong.
The problem: 3 days ago i got myself a Samsung galaxy note, switching from 3 years HTC. Overall i am in love with the device, but the battery is draining very quickly and with that i mean 1 to 2 % in 5 minutea or less. Most of the time i keep screenresolution at its lowest. I have to charge the phone 3 to 4 times to get through the day. It also drains alot when in standy, like 10% hour.
I'm at the end of my terms, i hope someone has got a solution, even if its temporary i'll be happy!
Kind regards
I have the 3g version with wifi. In airplane mode and standby, overnight for 10 hrs it drains 1% only. .... use better battery stats app from xda to check for kernel wake logs and what apps are draining the juice

Are you talking about the Note, Note 2, or Note 8.0 3G?
Is the 'phone' new or used?

I assume i have the note, i havent seen anything about 8.0 3g in my device or its box.. the phone is used and 1 year old
.
you're in the wrong forum man...this is for a 8 inch tablet, not a phone
Lol that's what happens when Samsung call so many devices note , note 2, note 10.1, note 8.0 people see a note forum and presume its for their device.

Ah. Thought so. You need to replace your battery. Do whatever you need to to find out exactly which Note you have, then buy the largest capacity battery available for your phone from Anker *that does NOT require a custom battery cover*. Anker make reliable batteries for a good price.
Bro, mine was even worse. I just got the note 8.0 and hadn't used it up to month. My battery went up like superman when I plugged it for a charge and dropped like flash when discharging! It was really bad man. But I had it fixed man.
#requirements#
1) A rooted 8.0
2) Download Battery calibration from google playstore
All I did was to allow the battery to drain completely, then I plugged the charger and switched it on. I allowed it to charge to 100% without interrupting.
Then I opened the battery calibration app and clicked on calibrate battery. That's all.. My 8.0 is back now. On standby with H+ I get a 3% drop per hour. Hope it works for you. Pls click on thanks if it does. Thanks

hi. i just got my new phone E980. its the AT&T model. the batter is so ambiguous man... like i got the phone just yesterday, started checking out the phone and the battery was like 23%.
after LITERALLY like 10 mins the battery went to like 12%... i was like WOOOOT.....
i discharged the phone completely and then took out the battery and discharged any remaining power from phone as its recommended.
then i charged the phone to full and started using again like paystore apps downloading.
as i checked the battery from setting the idle was using like 3rd most battery in the list after screen and android OS.
what is this man??? isnt it supposed to be a phablet? is it ok for my phone to be this worst at battery. this is first ever non-Samsung phone and i m used to good battery life where idle does not take freaking 3rd most of the battery... WTF... im kinda disappointed
also can someone tell me and pls like me here any good roms and how to root this phone and also tell me which roms provide good battery life?
i will be so thankful for these links...
smiler what happened to me :\
now i need to wait for new battery to arrive
EDIT:
small tip
its might help the sudden restarting if changing the processor speed to 1ghz max
I've solve the same Issue by using an Ipad Charger because the 3140Mah battery need a 2 Ampere charger.
First day my F240L drain full battery in 3 hours, the 100% charge was fake by charging with Galaxy S3 charger (I got Phone Used without Charger), the phone show 100% charge but the value was fake.
Try a charger with 2 Ampere Output.
This metod is working with ipad charger and Galaxy Tab 3 charger.
I hope that my Hint work for you.
Now my battery works very well. yesterday i disconnect phone at 8.30 am and at the 23.30 the charge was 47%, with mid-heavy use and wifi turned on all the day.
Plus 1!

Just got a set of these and a charger and they are great!! They are fairly cheap but not crap like the VERY cheap ones. Plus they have 180 day warranty. I suggest anyone who needs a battery go for the Zero Lemon.

Sorry that's all I got but you will see in the first screen shot during the 3 days the phone was powered on and off charge, the screen used 35% of the battery. I have had 2 previous phones, TMO GS2 and ATT Note1 and never had the battery last longer than around 24-26 hours on any ROM under similar circumstances. That is with notifications enabled and data and Wifi active but Bluetooth off.
2nd screenshot shows phone was sleeping (offline) 95% of the time so if my calculation is correct, on screen time would calculate out at 4394 minutes * (100-95.4) % = 202 minutes or around 3.3 hours during the 3 days I was using it (little more than 1 hour a day). Assuming the screen was on whenever the phone was online.
You just need to press Screen to see screen time

My 8.4 takes about 2.5 to 3 hours on average using the stock travel charger. The 10.5 longer because of the larger battery.

I just bought the device today, is it normal for the first time use the battery drain really fast, in just a minute 1% will drop.. Overall. only can use for 2 hours with data on.

Batteries of this type usually take about a week to reach optimal condition.

i noticed this on my tab 8.4LTE too, the battery simply drains away, almost close to rendering the tablet useless as I use this as my primary phone. tried playing online games and 30 mins later, it ate 40% of the battery (no unusual warm ups) i had this tab for almost a week now and it's still the same. i'm getting worried that i have battery issues

same as me. I also use the LTE ver. It drains really quick which makes me feel like buying a cheap tablet. It only can stand for 2hours plus for heavy user. The screen is really beautiful but have to lower the brightness to save battery. such a waste.

I have a friend here with a tab similar to ours but his battery life is superb. 5% drain /30mins on wifi. Mine dropped 3% asI type this lol. Could it be because we rooted our device?

I dont think its because of root, cause I didn't root my tab yet. does ur friend have lte version also? I also trying to use my tab only with wifi on and sim on (data off) still the same result.

I was getting worried as well. Every time I've used it for anything other than movies my battery percentage has dropped like an aerodynamic rock. Browsing, games, magazines, etc. Movies (assuming because of the typically large amount of black pixels) look fantastic and the battery does quite with them, but for everyday consumption it left me concerned.
An hour ago I asked Amazon for an exchange which they did no questions asked. Perhaps round 2 will fare better. If not, I'll shed a tear as I give up this amazing display for another device altogether.

Yes. Lte version as well. I noticed that when he do wifi file transfers and other stuffs. Batt will drain as well.
I want a heads on comparison with his tab but it's hard since we use the tab differently. This is my primary phone while his is for browsing only. Tomorrow. I'll try to transfer s huge file via wifi and see if we'll have the similar percentage of battery drain. I already did the calibration as advised from another thread and it seems to work. A few more charge cycle might do the trick.

My tab takes around 12 hours to be fully charged from ard 5%.
Is this normal?
Maybe I have a battery problem too.

Same for me.... It takes forever to fully charge it (10,5 in)
I use a 10.5 LTE and it takes about 5 hours to fully charge. I recommend to switch it off while charging because when it's on you loose about 500mAh (also if the screen is off) and with a 2Ah charger if the battery sees (optimistically) 1.5Ah it takes 5h 20' plus the time required by the slow charge when it reaches 85-90%, so more than 6h.
Anyway I charge it every time I can when it goes under 50%, it's a big battery and needs a special care. Nothing to say about batterylife, excellent.
Most tablets/phones fast charge to 80% and then slow down for the last 20% , so if you don't need a full charge just grab it after it goes past 80% , your battery will live longer as well, as the closer you charge to 100% the more damage is done to your battery, it`s very small but it adds up.
Have a read of the link below, if you want to make the battery in your tablet live longer, if you have the money to easily replace it then don't worry, charge away

Well ever since I've got this phone I've been pretty impressed by the battery life. I get bored at work and tend to surf the Web or play games on my phone. My record was 29 hours without a charge with heavy usage but I didn't think to screen shot and share. But this round I've been playing clash of clans pretty heavily. Specifically in the last 4 hours I've been on the game for about 3 straight hours. I just wanted to see what other people's results are too.

I was using stock rooted KK, stock kernel, and stock settings. I broke down and upgraded back to lollipop in hopes of xposed being updated soon. I missed the features of lollipop. I was getting better battery life on lollipop so I'll put an updated picture after work sometime tomorrow.
How are you getting 29 hours? I updated to the nightly for CM12 and I went from 100% to 65% in about 2-3 hours. This is frightenly fast and enough to consider taking my 1 day old Note 4 back.
Cool thanks and any kernels used or just all stock?
Pretty well know if you're using Wi-Fi it'll help with battery life and taking back a perfectly good phone because you aren't getting the same results as someone else is crazy. Heavy user? Nah not really.

I use wifi a lot through out my day but there is about 4-5 hours on mobile network using Pandora
I'm a heavy user with usually no Wi-Fi available. I use my hotspot a little during the day, torrent sometimes, surf my usual forums and sites, and usually a lot of music through bt speaker or ear buds. If I get eight hours I'm happy and I do. My phone has never died. I'm on lollipop.
I usually average between 5-6 hours screen on time on mobile data & went as long as a little over 7 & half hours screen on time on wifi.

wow... I'm really surprised how long your batteries last. My Note 2 lasts 3-7hrs on the original battery and 10-18 with a 3x zero lemon. I got a S6 Edge the other day and the battery life doesn't make it through a festival day so I'm giving it up to get a note 4. People I talk to get excellent life with theirs. But why can't sammy get it together with the battery situation?
If ur on WiFi ur battery life will be great I get 12-14 hrs on network with 4-5 hrs screen on

My girlfriend has the S6 and she can't even compare to my battery life. I'm not sure why either. Note 4 is a bigger screen and I'm on my phone more and I still out last her battery. But then again hers is unrooted and bloat packed. Maybe when she gets root and I optimize it some it'll improve.
Bigger battery helps a lot. Stop all sprint apps. Take it from there.

Note 2 had the best battery life ever hands down, & yeah been hearing a lot of horror stories about the atrocious battery life on the S6E. I was almost thinking of just giving my girl my Note 4 (she still has the Note 3) & using her available upgrade to grab the S6E on a 12 month lease, but after hearing ppl complain of only getting 2-3 hours screen on time out of it I quickly changed my mind. 2500mah sealed battery powering a 2K screen is ridiculous & Sammy should've never made the battery non removable.
Sent from my Galaxy Note 4
idk about best battery... When I'm on a debloated stock rom, I get 2-5hrs on a fully charged OG battery. When I switched to a ASOP based lollipop rom, I was getting 7hrs+ out of the OG battery, but then it started freezing. Now, my note 2 is not really charging. I'm hoping with a Note 4 + zero Lemon battery, I can get 14hrs+ out of it.
I have an older Tab 3 SM-T217S running Android 4.4.2, rooted but otherwise stock. The battery hold-time on this is really bad. I can fully charge and leave the tablet totally powered off, and the battery will be dead within 24-36 hours or so. Shouldn't a completely powered down device hold it's battery longer than that? My Galaxy S5 phone sure does. Just curious what other people's battery performance is like.

I experience the same thing. it will barely last a day on standby. when using it the battery seems to be fine when my kids are watching you tube or something but if i dont keep it on a charger it will always be dead when i need it.
Bad Batteries
I have bought two "new" batteries and both of those do the same thing. Powered off or on with no use their dead in a day. I have a samsung tab 3 lite and I can leave that on for days without use and it will barley go down. I'm beginning to think that it may be the way that battery was made not sure if they fixed the problem or just decided to make a new tablet with a better battery. I haven't rooted my tablet but I was thinking that might help, now I'm not so sure since you say yours is rooted and its doing the same thing. Has anyone found a solution or am I just getting lemon batteries?
Hey guys, so when I had my Note 4 I had issues with the battery dropping instantaneously from random percentages (45%, 20%, etc) to 0%. I had replaced the battery twice during the 4 years i had it, and i know others have experienced it as well. I'm just curious if anyone with other samsung devices newer than the note 4 had any similar issues? I think it was related to using the fast-charge but I'm very nervous with my S8+ long term because the battery isn't easily swappable.
Side note, i just sold my Note 4 an hour ago. I hope I gave them the right battery and they don't have the battery issues with it :fingers-crossed:
I had a note 5 and the battery lasted at least 2 days. I now have the s8+ and my battery really doesn't last the whole day. Im not quite sure why. I have also noticed that my internet doesn't work as well as the note 5. Note 5 I always had at least 3G ( I live in the woods) but with my s8+ I'm usually on 1x again not sure why.
