I have had this phone going on a month now I would say this problem started about a week ago. The phone (not on the charger) just gets hot and the battery life dips tremendously. (The phone is stock unrooted) I used to be able to get at least 14 hours out of the phone with normal use and 3g on, now i get about 7 hours before i have to plug it up again. The phone can be in my pocket idle and I can feel it heating up, I have never had a device do this I am at a loss right now because the main reason I sold my evo was because of the rave reviews of the phones battery life and all of a sudden that is just gone. I tried searching the forum before posting and found nothing with regards to this problem, If there is another thread like this I do apologize it was simply overlooked.
Any suggestions??? Thanks in Advance.
Could just be a Los, try sending a text or making a phone call the next time it happens...
Usually when I have a ghost Los, my phone will heat up and the battery drops. If you can't send a text, go to your task manager and go to the RAM tab and clear memory. That usually helps, but if it doesn't work, just reboot.

Usually when you have this problem, for me it's always been a program pegging the CPU usage. download system panel to see what's up

Thanks I will give both a try.... The los happens but its rare. I'm thinking of resetting the phone or returning it.

I've had it happen to me once, I woke up one morning and it was hot and battery drained. I noticed it had the LOS circle up top so I attributed it to that..........It's only happen once thus far.
It's not LOS I have service I can call and send texts but the phone just gets hot as he'll and battery life gets destroyed. The thing is this started about a week ago and I have not installed anything new on the phone it just started doing this on it's own.
I would not say my phone gets "hot" but noticeably warmer especially when playing some games. To help with the battery drain I have underclocked and undervolted -25.
The Facebook app didn't seem to like my phone very much. After downloading it and going to bed I woke up with a hot phone. Uninstalled soon after and works fine now =]

I started to have this problem after flashing "Rogue" kernel with CWM
It was Fancy Widget (HTC style clock) I don't know why the conflict started in the past week because I've had fancy Widget since the day I got the phone. Thanks for the help guys really appreciated.

Greetings All!
This happened to me once. While phone was in pocket battery life nosedived and temperature skyrocketed. Wasn't LoS. Looked at running apps/services and saw that AP Mobile was running out of control. Which surprised me since I wasn't using the widget. So I froze it and the problem has not reoccurred. It was probably just a fluke but since I wasn't using it anyway it seemed like a no-brainer to hide it.
Cheers, Henri
I had this issue once and found that it was the enhanced email app. Installed and good to go.

Happened to me for the first time yesterday. I was at 77% and my phone froze. It was extremely hot so I pulled the battery and rebooted. It cooled down but now my battery was at 20%.

i have the same problem use to get excellent battery life then all of a sudden phone last 7 hours i noticed on the status that the up time was 100%. it seems like it doesn't sleep anymore.please help
Something that I have noticed is that every time I pull the battery for this problem when I restart the phone the keyboard is reverting from the Smart Keyboard Pro back to the standard Samsung keyboard. Is anyone else seeing this? Could this be related?
It has to be an app that's killing the cpu look on the first page under my original post Hyabusa1300 (thanks) gave me the advice that worked. Figure out which app is causing the issue and uninstall it.

Almost always a hot phone means it is doing something in the background. Defiantly check battery stats and see what is running
I am on stock 4.2.2 with franco.kernel r366. Most of the time it runs ok but sometimes my gnex is laggy as hell, especially whwn downloading app from the Play Store. Sometimes waking to drvice can take 3-4 seconds and sometimes even more. I am using widgetlocker. Not mentioned Chrome which is laggy too. I really can't understand why my gnex act like that... I used my friend's HTC One X and its smooth all the time.

Well, there are big differences on the Gnex and HTC one X hardware. You cant just think that it will have the same performance.
The question is, do you really need a phone that is 100% smooth?
But android is becoming a heavy OS. Its natural to evolve this way, as well as hardware.

Smoothness is the most important features for me. I need my phone to be responsive all the time, that the reason I went back to stock from custom because custom gave me terrible performance, that making a call was an issue.

"Need". Otherwise you're probably going to have to buy a new device soon.
I can conquer.
When downloading from the Play store, It is extremely slow on various roms.
I believe the problem is the read\write speeds of the storage which is extremely slow.
too bad
yes, i have the same problem whem the app is installing. Its very slow and laggy. Its important to say that there are many apps for android that are poorly optimized, so even in a powerful hardware you may have some issues.
Considering Gnex is a mid end device, i think soon you have to change your phone to a high end if you want more smoothness and if you are willing to pay the price.

This didn't happend on 4.1, so it's not a hardware issue

Most apps are optimized for gingerbread. And of course its going to "lag" while doing intensive operations.
Sent from my Nexus
I'm running stock and I haven't experienced any sort of lag or anomalies. Have you tried flashing stock to verify?
i disagree bro...
if you compare GNex with the smartphones with the same h/w config, u wud definatly agree dat its the best in its generation.
writing to disk normally slows the phone. Probably is more related to the OS than hardware.
No, just 4.2* is junk. Go back to 4.1.2 and you'll see the difference.

This fixed a lot of lag the op was talking about. It trims the /data and /cache partition, which for some reason doesn't happen on this device but is required just like normal ssd drives.

That app doesn't work on my device. I tried the app from chainfire I believe that checked if the device was bugged by that emmc trimming failure. Mine wasn't.

This phone was butter smooth when I got it. But slowly, over the last 9 months it has started to feel like my previous phones, which is disconcerting because I upgraded to a 2gb phone to avoid lag. But lately I find I am getting lag when hitting the power button to wake up the screens and especially when I click on a text box. I have to wait up to ten seconds for my Swype keyboard to display.
It's not like I've been filling my phone with junk over these nine months. I've kept all my old apps and added maybe 2 or 3. No huge games. I have 7 gigs of Rom available. I'm just not seeing why it should be getting gradually worse at responding. It's the same phone it always was.
Any tips or tricks?

try this, pre 4.3 doesnt have trim.
I tried it, and gave it a week to work. But the keyboard is still slow. It tends to display, but not respond to my typing for about 5-10 seconds. As I said, there have been no major changes with my phone... an app here or there, but that's it.
It's typically only when I haven't used my keyboard recently, like the first time I open it after it was in my pocket for a while. Almost like it needs to take some time to allocate some ram to it.

Kitkat update killed battery life and makes the tablet extremely hot near the camera on the back. What gives?
Sent from my SM-P600 using XDA Premium HD app
I don't have a solution but the same problem. I'm fine with it getting warm but it's getting really hot! It's great that we have kitkat but it's not all that stable yet.
Restarting seems to help temporarily. Feels like something gets stuck and then makes the CPU run extra stuff but I don't see anything with my wakelock analyzing apps...
When it is in "battery-eating-mode" even browsing or watching a video makes it run hot!
Generally it indicates that a file or service has become stuck, or hung. For me it's common for the Samsung.index.service to get stuck indexing a file and sometimes lasts 3 days before it's resolved.
You should use some kind of monitor to see whats causing it.
Gsam battery monitor does a good job of showing rogue apps, and battery and heat.
Also a CPU monitor is included in the debug/developer which can also show the culprit.

I quite upset about this now. I reset my device and still have the same problem. My tablet used to be excellent and had great battery life. Now Kitkat Haase it basically useless because the battery drains so fast.
Sent from my SM-P600 using XDA Premium HD app
Indexservice uses 30 percent of my battery. I read that happens if you have lots of pdfs on an external SD card, but for me that is the whole point of this device. If I just wanted to play games, watch videos and surf the Web I would've gotten an ipad. Really dissapointed with Samsung here. Did they not test the device before they released the update? Or do they clock out of their jobs and go home and use ipads?
Sent from my SM-P600 using XDA Premium HD app
Yeah the indexservice did the exact same to mine, Samsung were no help. Happened even when I put PDF's on internal storage.
I had no other choice but to root it and freeze the service with titanium backup, I really didn't want to, but I was left with no other choice.
As I had gone that far I also froze a bunch of other Samsung apps/services - I am so glad I did, the tab absolutely flys along now - feels like a different machine.
Root it, you won't be disappointed
Sony released a statement suggesting disabling the Google backup functions to improve battery life with kitkat Roms. If you don't need those maybe you wanna try that as well.
Settings/general/accounts and save&backup
It will likely fix itself after a few days. It happens on mine every few months for a day or two. Then it settles down and works normally. Same on all Samsung devices.
Has nothing to do with KitKat.

I did some testing with an app to check cpu frequency and here's what I found:
Sometimes the tablet goes into "fury mode". Which means that as soon as there is any task for the cpu however small it may be it drives all cores to max 1.9ghz and full speed. Which means even while I'm browsing or watching a video the tablet runs about as hot as when playing an intense 3D game. And with equally bad battery life.
Really bad performance/efficiency handling. Like now I've been browsing(chrome) for 30 min and it ate 15% battery life and it's extremely hot on the back where the cpu is. There aren't any special processes running I've checked with watchtower. Cpu load is not that high but frequency has been constant 1.9ghz max speed on all cores... need custom Kernel PLZ.
I have to say though this is not always the case. Sometimes after a restart or when it was laying around for a while this fury mode doesn't happen.
just rooted and froze indexiservice using titanium backup...hopefully this will help
Ok looks like everything is good now.
Rooted and used titanium backup to freeze all the stupid stuff that was causing the device to get super hot

Just curious what other Verizon owners are experiencing. I love this phone and am keeping it, warts and all. But from other forums I'm getting the feeling that the Verizon model has a lot more issues than other models. My main gripe is I'm getting a total freeze of my phone, nothing happens on screen and button taps do nothing at all, this lasts for about a minute then the phone comes back, but everything runs very very slowly, then eventually it will run normally again. I'm also seeing a ton of lag, specifically something will run or animate very slowly and stutters, like for example if I close an app the animation of it shrinking can sometimes be fast and smooth, other times it's slow and stutters to the point where you can almost count the frames. My wife has a Note 7 as well and she had one episode where she was using WhatsApp, her phone completely froze on her and then after a minute or so just rebooted.
I've also had issues with wifi calling dropping calls left and right. I've had issues with the phone not wanting to switch from a weak crappy wifi signal to cellular. GPS was dropping a lot initially, but I haven't seen that issue lately. Battery life overall hasn't been stellar, but I hope that just means it is still breaking in.
I'm on Verizon and experiencing the same crap.. love this phone as well. I have disabled all the bloatware too

i have experienced the same i am not sure what gives but i hope an optimization patch is released for it soon.
Totally agree. I got the Moto Z about 3 weeks before Note launch and that phone is fast. I figured the Note would be just as fast. Nope. The Moto is very fast to unlock with fingerprint. Note has some delay and goes to lock screen then open. Bit hokey if you ask me. I get a lot of lag doing normal things. Was using Nova, thought that might be it so went back to samsungs launcher. Kinda helped. Just does not have the zip I thought it would. Might forgo the s pen and swap with my wife. Hopefully N will help, but we all know VZW will f that up too.

I just have to say. GTFO with your magical phone. 9 hours SOT. Give me a break.
I can't comment on poor performance on the Verizon Note vs others because I haven't use the others. I will say, some performance is poor.
Thank goodness we have root tho. Maybe we can fix some stuff the Big Red dictator screwed up.

Lol so how do we figure out screen on time then because according to you if i go into my battery settings and it shows screen on 9 hours that isnt possible
My phone is running buttery smooth! Slightly over 2 days battery life! No complaints.
For those with the issues, try a factory reset and dont disable anything. Run the phone and see if it still happens. If so then you have gotten bad phones.
I'm just now reading about some of these issues people are having. I've got a pre order phone. Delivered on the 19th. It's been a dream from day 1. Better than my note 5 by far. My 5 was dropping calls and battery dying in a day. Haven't dropped a call nor run out of battery. My s6 edge plus was horrible. Only had it for a day. This looked similar so I was a bit nervous. Other than it having an issue with either the gear app our the bluetooth sending ringtone to my gear s2 on all calls regardless of ringer settings I've got zero complaints.

I haven't had any of these issues on my Note 7. I have had it one week now. Battery life is decent, but I don't know what the stats look like since I am always near a charger. I took the ota halfway through the week and it didn't seem to affect anything one way or the other.
