Hello everybody hope your all well
Like the rest of the world i updated my note 2 to the 4.3 update that gives it galaxy gear compatibility and other things.
First few days it has been fine. Last night i let the phone drain and stuck it on charge overnight (making sure the plug was switched on)
Woke up this morning and turned my phone on and to my surprise it was only charged to 60%
I didn't have time to try recharging as i had to leave for work but as i have a charger at work i figured i would recharge in the office
Well it has been on charge all day and refuses to charge past 51% and for the life of me i have no idea why
Has anyone else had this problem and if so how have you resolved the issue, I have only had the phone a few weeks and it was fine before the update.
Thanks in advance you helpful lot

Hi David,
I have been facing the same issue.
Ever since Samsung has released N7100XXUEMK4 its been worst.
Few weeks later they released N7100XXUEMKD which made no good.
I have just updated my note 2 to the JB 4.3 N7100DDUEML4 which is at least better than the first 4.3 update.
Still facing battery issue and i tried to roll back to the previous 4.1.x firmware. It failed and now the KNOX warranty shows 1.
Tired everything possible. Worst part is the charging.
Hi buddy
I ended up factory resetting mine as i couldn't sort the charge problem.
So have Samsung released two updates since ?
On the upside rolling it back to 4.3 fixed the issues and i will hold off updating until KitKat is released

Hi all
Want to get some opinions on what could have caused my battery to suddenly drain overnight from 100% to 0 in less than 7 hours.
I noticed something was up on Monday night when I woke up (see screenshot).
During the day the battery drained very quickly so I decided to charge it fully then leave it overnight without touching it (see other screenshot..)
I've tried a factory reset and using a friends battery - both seemed to point to the phone developing a hardware fault as it still drained even with my friends battery in (whereas his did not with my battery in).
So just wanted some opinions and suggestions on how to fix this. Or does it look like I need to claim on warranty?
Phone is completely stock on 4.0.4 - updated directly from google.
Thanks all
PS - note good signal and no wakelocks throughout the night. I also used to get a entire days use out of the phone easily, my usage hasn't changed.
That is definitely not normal.
Did you look at Settings | Battery to see what was eating up battery life?

Since I did a factory reset the top was Phone idle, mobile standby, android system etc
You could try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.smapho.battery_mix
You're probably just going to want to replace it, though.
My battery started draining all of a sudden with 40% gone overnight. I took it back and they replaced the mb. Now all is ok.
Thanks guys - I've just gone ahead and opened up a warranty claim via Samsung UK.. fingers crossed!

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but Samsung have (after 2 tries) seem to have fixed the battery issue.
However I now cannot update back to the latest 4.0.4 software. They said that they updated my phone to the latest software the first time I sent t back and I did complain that I wasn't able to get 4.0.4 as well as the fact that they never actually fixed the battery issue.
Screenshot below - any ideas why my phone won't update? What could Samsung have done?
I have/had same problem! but only in 8 hours maybe it was on 4.0.4 YAKJU ROM
ad I didn't even use my Gnex.
on YAKJUXW 4.0.2 ROM my battery draind from 100% to 24% in 1 day and screen on only 2-5 minutes...
when I'm using my Gnex my battery drains much faster... in 2 minutes 1% less..

You are using YAKJUXW 4.0.2 ROM what I am using too and I have on this ROM much better battery life than with any other ROM!
Also 4.0.3 AOSP/CM9 ROM have good files good radio baseband on my Galaxy Nexus.. with YAKJU ROM I have too bad battery draining problem..
my Nexus was in phone service they flashed ROM again and changed battery still same battery draining problem..
or then Stock ROMs on Galaxy Nexus GSM have little bit bad battery life..

Hey guys!
I have a serious issue here!
In the middle of the day, out of nowhere the phone turn itself of; i never detected that moment; all i know is that when i pick up the phone i find it turned off.
At first that happened when i was still running the stock ROM 4.0.4 unrooted or anything. The phone was in my pocket so i said maybe i touched unintentionally the power button and i dropped it.
However the last 2 days i am running a custom ROM JB CM10 flashed cleanly completely!
I am suspecting that this is no software problem cuz i know with software issues i elk have mostly reboots and not shotdowns.
I suspect that this is a hardware issue, most probably a battery issue; since after i return the phone ON, i can see the battery at 20 or 30% lower than what it should be!
I have wiped battery stats (i know that maybe does nothing) and wiped cache and dalvick and still nothing!
Any ideas/help/suggestions are welcome guys!
Thank you!

Buy a new battery.

Are there any advantages of factory resetting the GN 10.1 after receiving the KitKat update? Would it make the installation any 'cleaner' if you know what I mean! :laugh:
I also wonder.
I wonder the same thing. I updated my stock tablet to Kitkat without doing a factory reset before or after the update. It seems to be widely recommend, but I wonder if there are any noticeable problems that can happen without resetting. Not that it hurts to do it, I just don't wanna lose any data. Since I'm not rooted, nor do have plans to root, I can create a backup through Kies and then factory reset, yes? Hopefully someone can shed some light on mine and the OP's questions.
As a general rule one could say : you don't have to reset but if you run into problems you know what's the reason for them.
Here's what I've been doing for the past 4 years with android. Change in version (4.2-> 4.3): I wipe. New firmware within same version (4.3-> 4.3) I don't wipe. Works for me But I'm always rooted and have full backups.
I just updated through kies and did not factory reset, so far no problems and definitely notice the speed improvements.

I may have to do the factory reset and update to KK 4.4.2 again. I am running into battery charging problem. Normally it took only about 6 hours to get 100%. Now it took 8 hours to get only 60%. Any one have any idea?

I have a noticeable issue with Kitkat with both charging and battery drain. I tried factory reset and that didn't help much. Also got an app from playstore called Battery Calibration. Ran it last night. So far it seems to have helped a little.
I have been able to pinpoint that the drain happens quickly whenever I am using the wifi. I've checked all the settings over and over.
This is of no help to you.... but you are not alone with the issue.

PS -- I recall with my old smartphones it was suggested (when flashing a new rom) that rom needed to settle for a or so before battery was stable. Not sure if that is true or not, but it's my last resort.

I noticed the same thing. However, I turned the Note completely off last night and let it charge 8 hours and it only went from 21% to 65%. So, if it's completely turned off the operating system should have no involvement with the charging process. KitKat should have nothing to do with it.
So, this morning I tried a different charger and, while it was still powered on, it went from 62% to 76% in about an hour. So, I'm no longer concerned.

What? 8 hours of charging you only got 44%. That is really bad.
Before KK 4.4.2 update, my Note 10.1 2014 took 6.5 hrs to charge from 0% to 100%. It has a lot to do witk KK I m sure.
I just did the factory reset. Drain the battery to 5%. Turn it off and charge again. Will let you guy know soon.

I think it is the best option. I did my OTA update as soon as I received the notification. The tablet run a lot faster. Much better than version 4.3. But this morning I found out I have a problem with charging. It took to long to charge. So I decided to do the factory reset. Hopefully it will fix the problem.

Thank you Barbara, it seems to be fine after I did factory reset. Used the tablet for about 5 hours (the battery went down from 80% to 5% in 5 hrs). Then I shut down to charge. It actually charged to 100% in about 5 hrs 15 minutes.

Make sure that if and when you charge to make sure you use at last a 2A charger and proper voltage. Also some homes might have light switches that turn off power for instance. Silly little things and please ppl these are smart batteries you do not need to drain them down, only thing worth mentioning is to charge for at least 15 minutes or more. If any other behavior call Samsung and have them fix your hardware.

Sideloaded the ZVG update a few days ago, did a factory reset, and set up my phone. Everything was working great and I loved the update... until I noticed yesterday that the phone now takes much longer to charge. Previously, using a 2A charger, it would charge at roughly 1% per min, but now it seems to be more like 1% per 2-3 mins. Not sure if this is on purpose to extend battery longevity or an actual bug in the update. Either way, it's kind of annoying. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this.
Yes I've noticed it, but I think if you were in another non stock ROM. You would have modified kernel that may have had a quicker charging installed in it.
I noticed the same thing yesterday. I have been on stock rom, with only root, since the announced that we were getting LP. Another thing that I noticed, my battery life has gone to hell in the last couple of days. As an example, I unplugged my phone this morning at 6am (100%) and by 8:15am my phone was down to 65% and I was barely using my phone during that time. A couple of co workers have the G3 with Verizon and they were telling me that their battery life had gotten bad after the update. So for about a week and a half (I updated on the 27th) everything was running normal and now charging takes longer and battery last shorter. My next step is to back up my data and reset the phone.
I just did a search on this problem. It seems that all of the LG G2s & G3s are having the same issue since the Lollipop upgrade regardless of carrier. LG needs to release a fix for all of these issues ASAP or their current users won't stay LG users for much longer. I for one was planning on getting the G4 but if they don't fix this problem soon I will be forced to change phones before it is released on Sprint.
I'm not having any of these issues.
I've had my phone unplugged for just under 15 hours and it went from 100% to 63% in that time with a SOT of 2 hours. Granted I do Greenify practically everything and only use the radios when I need them
It does seem to take longer to charge but that is not an issue for me.
Did you sideload ZVG or take the OTA to ZVG? There are some people who have said that the OTA is what is causing problems... I sideloaded ZVG BTW.
Well, I have the tablet for well a year and a half, and have loved it.
I have kept it stock and accepted all firmware updates blindly as I never had an issue with them, until the one I got a few days ago.
Ever since this most recent update the tablet has been running extremely hot, and battery life went from acceptable (several hours a day) down to less then 1 hour of run time since this update.
Of course I didn't note what version I was running before the update, but I can tell you what I am running now:
Android 4.4.2
Kernel 3.4.39-1462259
Build KOT49H.P600UEUCOI1
What is very odd is that I don't see anyone posting anything about recent updates to their SMP-600??? was I slow to get an older update? I keep set to auto and is always connected.
I did see a post about a cracked battery connector, and while I cant dismiss this may be the problem, the fact is that the overheating and battery life issues started immediately after this update and not after a drop or any other physical abuse that I would associate with a cracked batter connector. This thing lives on my sofa and never leaves.
Anywho, just looking to get any thoughts out there about this update? At this point I suppose I would like to roll it back to what it was previously.
Thoughts? do I just root it now and try a different firmware? or do I have to root to roll it back?
