I've noticed a sharp decline in battery. With only 35 minutes of screen on I've already lost 11%. In this case, index service seems to be using a lot of battery, but this is the first time I noticed that. I was getting like 7 hours of screen on, now I'm getting about 5.

IndexService works hard when you add new docs/books, it scans all of them, then it should go away. For some reason it didn't find 1 or more files on my SD card, kept scanning for hours. Did you add anything new to tablet?

I downloaded a powerpoint and then converted it to a pdf. It seems like it just won't stop. Everyone I look at its running time it is increasing.

You could delete recently added/changed files and see what happens.

I restarted and now it seems like index service is still running frequently, but no longer nonstop. Regardless of index service my battery still seems to be worse by 2 hours. It was awesome for the first couple weeks and now its just average. I don't even have that many apps.

if you're rooted just freeze the indexer.

I'm holding off for rooting until Knox is circumvented. Plus I don't see recoveries or custom Roms yet so I don't have all that much incentive.

So, at some point I turned off my phone and I -think- the sudden spike down in battery life is around that time.
Anyone got any explanations?

Mine has done that as well a couple of times. One time I had a charge of around 75%...rebooted my phone, and the battery was down to 15% percent.
Maybe it's just another bug we'll have to deal with until they come out with a fix.
thats strange mine doesnt have that much of a dip
every samsung product I have does this, gt 7, gt 10.1, droid charge, and this one. I don't recall my og droid, evo 4g or 3d doing this.
All phones show a dip when there is a battery pull while the phone is on....

Wasn't a pull, just a shutdown and reboot.

Hi, what app is this?

Stock battery stats lol

well if your phone was rebooted then that bald would have been reset because it displays monitors since last power-on.
there seems to be a bug where the cpu fails to underclock after a certain amount of usage and/or load. rebooting after intensive apps and/or before leaving the phone idle for extended periods of time seems to solve the problem for me. yes i get that too.

just press on top after you press battery usage on the screen that shows you the battery usage.
So I read about other people having this problem with custom ROMs or rooted phones but I am on unrooted stock after OTA. I thought was one of the 60 or whatever apps I bought during the 10 cent promotion but I uninstalled them all and I still had the problem. It's not frequent but it's happened 3 times in the last couple of weeks. It's mildly annoying to have to pull the battery but the part that I can't live with is that whenever it this happens, my battery drains like crazy. The battery usage drops off a cliff and I caught this one after no more than 5 minutes. Any thoughts on this? I don't have an SD card so it's not that. Thanks!

to find the rogue app use betterbatterystats and cpu spy. not sure if they superuser. also badass battery works too.
Mine did this the other night on Calk's ROM. Something got stuck keeping the phone awake causing that cliff like drop off.
Happened to me on stock once, installed some game but didn't play it so I don't think that was the reason. It was either the default browser or the contact list.
Thanks for the replies. I figured it was an app but wanted to be sure before I started deleting things. I was just worried that this might be something to do with hardware or something.
I have same problem with different roms and i don't know what to do...

I had the same problem I figured out it was my wifi being turned on all the time. I have always heard leaving your wifi on when it's availible was supposed to save battery but I checked in better battery stats and saw there was almost 7000 wakelocks in a 5 hour period. I turned wifi off problem solved I only turn it on when I need to.
It is happend even wifi is off.

Your battery might be going bad... take it out and spin it on a flat surface if it spins freely the battery is most likely done.

Same thing is happening to my friend's white E4GT, I think there might be a defective/bad batch.

Usually I can go a full 16 hour work day without needing an extra charge, then last week it started not holding the charge so well. In fact Tuesday it had 30% and I left the house for half an hour, and when I came back the phone had shut off and was at 0. I hadn't even touched it. I am on a mix of Wi-Fi and LTE. Anyway, that was odd. Now look at the battery usage...

Do you have a screenshot of the stats when the battery went all out of whack?

My android system has been going crazy the last week or so, usually would be at 5% our do but lately has been 40+ easy... been to lazy to wipe and re flash as I'm sure that will fix the issue, but lately I've been near power all the time so it hasn't really bothered me.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I flashed with Highonandroid and got 30+ hours. Probably could have gotten double if I didn't kill half of it installing all my apps back on.
What rom are you using?
On the stock image I was only getting 9 hours.

if you are not using a phone, turn it off and the battery will hold charge for many, many days.
Hello everyone im getting way to much ram in use causing the phone to lack. If I reboot the running services are minimal and no lack but the running services start to pile up by themselves (example maps and why 2). Can someone compare there usage. Im stock unroot.
Thanks

With maps, in location services turn off wireless network locating and only use gps. Maps, when network locating is on, Maps issues crazy amounts ie thousands of kernel wakelocks.
You're not lagging due to RAM you're only using half of your memory.

It was low when I took the screen shot but I've seen it go up more than 1.2g. I only have about 10 apps install from the market as of now cause I just recently got the phone and planning on rooting.

You may be using 1.2gb of memory but your note2 has 1.75gb of usable ram. The stock ROM has about 100apks that qualify as bloat. Even at stock my n2 didn't noticeably lag.

Yeah theres alot of ram left but my phone starts lacking around 1.2. I just wanted to see if someone is experiencing the same. Guess ill root and remove bloat and see what happens.

Really, I'm stock unrooted since the release date and never experience any lag. I'm hesitant to root not because of no experience is because this phone is the only phone I've used that is super smooth while still rocking stock unroot.
I uninstalled my apps first and see if its one of them.
Performed a factory reset and now the ram looks normal and no lack. Thank you both for the feedback.
Anyone know why I'd have a gap like this in the battery? Normally I would assume a gap like that would be from the phone being turned off but my phone was never off as far as I can tell. The up time is at about 17 hours right now and the last time I unlocked the phone I used my fingerprint. When a reboot happens you have to enter a pin/pattern the first time to unlock. You can also see that wifi was active that whole time. Looks like the cellular signal was off but I have wifi calling turned on so I never pay attention to cell signal in my house. I think I've seen this one other time before and had no explanation. It's almost like the service that monitors the battery wasn't working. I'm running stock, decrypted 6.0.1.

This is the 5X. I charged it up right at the beginning of the weekend and then used very rarely which is why it looks like it would last 4 days
You rebooted, that's completely normal. Happens all the time.

I've seen a similar thing on the battery screen on my N6 a couple weeks ago on 6.0, never really got a decent explanation, but didn't actually cause any real problem and hadn't occured repeatedly since.
