What's the best app to use to determine what's draining your battery? I took my phone off the charger and within 15 mins it's down 6%

Wake Lock Detector.. but it needs root access.
Never tried WLD, but hear of it being used more and more. I've always used Better Battery Stats. I imagine either one will work just fine.
Batteries do go bad though. So if it's been in use for over a year, might be time to look into a replacement.

u r the pro man! I will give your suggestion a try as well.. WLD lacks much information but still is the better one if u r looking for a free one
I used Advanced Battery Calibrator, Battery Life Repair, and Unbounce. I seem to be getting much better battery life

There's an xda edition of BBS too. It's the full version, free for xda members.

Ok so how long do u have to see some good battery im on my 3rd charge and its been lasting me 6 to 7 hours but i have only text and some surf and a bit of gaming i am on the latest stock rom rooted and i have hotspot hack and sprint boot that i installed

That's pretty terrible even if it's not conditioned yet. Especially because it sounds like you have only light use. You may want to take it back and replace the battery. Either that or you're in an area with terrible signal.

Did you let the battery completely drain and then charge to 100% after you bought your phone?

Take it back and get a new one. I just bought one on friday and even with heavy use my battery has lasted 20+ hours.
Sounds like a bad battery then. Happened to me on another phone. I just asked for a new battery and they gave it to me no problem.
I don't even have full bars and I get a minimum of 12 hours on pretty semi heavy use. I don't use wifi and I get at least 3-3.5 hours of screen on time.

Basically you shouldn't have to worry about battery life if your only using the phone "normally".....

A sales only store is unlikely to have any batteries on hand, we hoard a ton of new and used ones at my store, but we're a repair store...we're always getting folks coming from sales only stores for batteries.

Excellent news, glad it worked out. Where did you end up getting your battery? And if you don't mind me asking, how much did it set you back?
Apps like Facebook would drain my battery really fast. I use friendcaster now. Also make sure your not using the wireless location in the gps setting.

My T-Mobile note 2 battery is draining extremely fast its NOT rooted. So I don't understand why isn't draining so fast someone please help. And if anyone is having this same problem how did you fix it without getting a replacement device.

Check the battery stats for "gpsd". Mine started draining after updating to 4.1.2. It appears (for me at least) that the Samsung "find-your-phone-if someone-steels-it" was behaving badly.
If this is the case for you. Switch the service/function of and notify Samsung.
How many hours do you get when your battery is draining fast?
My stock phone started to drain fast as well. Within 6 hours unplugged I see myself having only 60 percent remaining with barely an hour screen on time. I tried to narrow it down to a rogue app but it seems the OTA was more plausable and easier to blame lol
Now back to using Jedi again.

It's called DIVE and does more than just recover lost phones, it is a management suite, not that I've spent a lot of time on it so far.

My phone isn't rooted. And Im new too this so I'm a little bit lost on what to do. Before that T-Mobile update I would get 24hrs+ but I'm lucky enough too get 8hrs and that's without heavy use

That's not it ever since this multiwindow update battery life has diminished. I can't figure it out. Like right now all I did is a little bit of fb twitter Tapatalk gps music and thats it and its at 38% unplugged since 6 hrs and on screen time is 2 hrs.

Yea multi view does seem to contribute to see extra drain. But as I see it my phone lasts all day no matter what I do to it. I've never EVER had to say...dang where's my charger. Not with this phone. It's perfect for me . I use it HEAVILY
I trade commodities so I'm constantly on the Internet and syncing prices all day long. I don't use wifi. Ever

Try them for yourself. Not everyone lives in the same spot or uses their phone the same way, unfortunately only way to find this out in reality is for you to use different ones day to day...

Anything but MD5.
after rooting and getting my note 3 on att I have to say I am just in awe how good the battery life is.
I have sync on for gmail, facebook, linkedin and moderate use I am at 2 days and 7 hours off the charger with 18% left. Screen time of 5 hours and 6 minutes.
Killed a lot of apps with TI and it has really just been awesome
Yeah, I'm about to hit éight hours of screen on time, pretty damn good for a stock unrooted phone.

According to my usage scheme, I had to replace battery twice with s3, and once with Note 2, but this thing can leave even more than 10%!
It even can last five days if you leave it idle 24/7.

Its easily achievable on this phone. Also the screenshot lacks screen on time which determines overall battery life

Don't want to be a smart arse but it looks to me that each time you battery is going up your phone was switched off or in flight mode. Voltage on your battery is slowly recovering as the load eg. Screen, wifi, network is switched off. It make sense to me

Emmm nop. Except for, may be at 1 or 2 places, it may seem like that. However if u look at the screen shots, almost all of them have the battery life bar increasing with my phone in normal/sim working mode. Don't know whats casuing this. And bdw yesterday I reached 6h 49m SOT with 17% remaining. This means it would have easily given over 7.5 and under 8 hours SOT. Toooooo good battery life on stock kernel.

Ahan. May be your back-to-life-from-sleep-mode logic does apply to your SC but not mine. See my SC. It's increasing regardless of flight mode on or off.
P.S: I am not whining. I am enjoying it..but just wanted the reason behind this fun thing.. haha
it does the same to me seems normal
