Battery Just Drops!!! - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl

Ok so I got the Note 10.1 2014 edition as a christmas gift. It is working fine. The only thing that is wrong with it is the battery is dropping from 50% to like 8% in a matter of 5 min. Or when I power off my device at say 70% and turn it on, it is at like 3%. I do not understand that a battery can just drop like that. Should I return it? Try to fix it? What should I do? Please Help!!!!!!! Thanks in advance

I'd check it with an app like a better battery stats and see what's causing the drain. Have you also updated it?

I did do all the updates. I will try the Better Battery Stats

There is an indexing service that searches through your files and indexes the contents.
On initial startup, this can take a while and really eats into the battery. Once it's complete it should be OK though.
Unless it has found a corrupt file, then it just keeps running and draining the battery. If it has an SD card, then try removing it and see if the problem goes away. If it does then you might have a bad file and need to format the SD card.

The overheating means something is using your battery...a lot! If your phone is trying to sync a lot in a no signal area it will do this. First put it into flight mode and see if that helps. If it does then it is definitely data related. Then set all syncs to manual and delete social apps you don't use like Google +. If it does not help then it is an errant app. Easy fix is to reset data and reinstall everything. Harder way is to get Betterbatterystats and see what's using your battery. Also Memory Booster Lite task killer will show you all the things using your memory that may be draining your battery. Hope this helps.

No the issue is in the phone. Are you rooted? Can you back up your stuff? If so try a factory data reset. If that fixes the problem add back your apps a few at a time to see if the problem comes back and then figure out which app is causing it. Did you try putting the phone in airplane/flight mode to see if it solves the problem?

[Q] sd card battery drain

SDcard show up under battery, surprising since there is no sd card in a galaxy nexus..
Anybody know what's going wrong or how to stop the battery drain ??
I've had this exact same issue! It happened at the same time as my other issue of app sizes continuing to climb upwards and the phone getting laggier in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1715363
I just resorted to a factory reset, which resolved the problem. Sorry I can't be of much help, as I still have no idea what the issue is, but it was definitely taking a noticeable toll on my battery life.

I would be concerned of what you have installed on your device, that it is calling itself sdcard.
Nexus internal sdcard is mostly named just sdcard, but this is first time i see it in battery stats. Maybe it's some bad app? Maybe you should uninstall apps one by one and see if it's go away.

Nexus does not have an internal sdcard and symlinks cannot use battery so I would say its an app.

I mean that 16gb internal storage which is called sdcard in most apps. And i know that it can't be in battery stats, that's why i said it's an app.
Same problem, a solution without having to do a factory reset?
Anyone come up with a solution here?
So I'm guessing the lack of responses in this thread (and this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792361&highlight=sdcard+battery) means no one has any idea why SDcard usage would be so high?
Maybe it is not the amount of power that sd card uses, it is amount of power that the phone uses to read the sd card. If you did lots of things that needs reading from sd card, battery show that kind of information. Some program with wrong commands may couse this

Thats what I figured but there shouldnt be anything thats accessing it, especially overnight in sleep mode, the SDcard has more CPU usage time than any other app, by a landslide.
Have you looked at your running apps? (Settings>Apps>Running)
Maybe you can find out what app may be running called "sdcard".
Sounds a bit fishy. While there is no physically removable SD card, the phones internal memory is partitioned so you have some space which is recognized as the 'sdcard'.
In any case I've never seen anything like that in my battery drain, and even if there was, it definitely shouldn't be draining those amounts while the phone is idle..

I've gone through them but can't seem to figure out whats going on...i've also run logcat but that hasnt turned up any useful info either.
And when you press on sdcard under the battery usage, what screen shows up? Does it say it's an app? Could you provide a screen shot?

Here are screenshots from my battery usage, after clicking on the app, and my build info. I've got the same thing and its completely eating my battery life. This was within 1 hour of use.
This just started happening to my galaxy nexus -- no idea why?
GSAM Battery Monitor shows System (sdcard) running at 17% and its really affecting battery life, I can actually watch the number drain by the minute.
I am not looking to do a factory reset again and I am running Bugless Beast 4.1.1 rom and have been for about 2 months now and never had this problem, anyone have any idea what could cause this?
Just started happening to me today. I just installed lookout so I hope that is the problem. Just uninstalled it to see if that was the culprit.
I'm 100% certain Google Music is causing mine.
Mine always says sdcard and media are the processes running that are eating my battery.
I can reboot and fix the issue, temporarily, but as soon as I play Google Music it starts back. I'm going to clear data and cache (for Google Music only). Now that I think about it this has been happening since Google Music's last update ~1 month ago.
I'm running the latest Trinity kernel and RasBeanJelly, but this happened while on Bugless Beast as well, so it's not a kernel/ROM issue either.

How to identify corrupted files?

Assuming the battery drain issue on jellybean is from a corrupted file on the sd card how can I identify corrupted files on the card? I'd like to do this with an app if possible.

A temporary fix is to force stop the "media" process. I do this from my battery usage screen.
As long as I don't reset/power off my phone I won't see any extra battery drain. I don't use my phone for music or video though so that could cause it to restart.

Maybe media scanning process.
if your is rooted , download this
http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascannerroot&feature=search_result
you can disable the media scanner in this app, see if this media process usage decrease or even disappear.
IF your phone doesn't have root

That's the problem, scan/fix your SD card in Windows corrupt files can keep a wake your phone.
If your phone don't sleep you'll have drain and warm phone.
An app is causing your phone don't enter deepsleep
My battery problem is improved.
I change my battery. Thanks for your help
