Poor battery life all of а sudden.

Rooted wifi version with slimkat rom and Franco kernel. Guys hello, so I have bought nexus December. First months okay. All is fine but recently it got strange in battery department. I can barely squeeze 4 hours of screen time. I got everything in terms of background apps running. No drops of the tablet or hits or anything. Brightness is at 15/20 percent all time. Should I blame the rom?Should I flash other rom or go to default software and return it since it's under warranty. I never read any complains bout my problem over Internet so I'm asking here. Before games would run 4/5 hours screen time now 2 hours max and no matter what I do battery just drops steadily. I ve done reset day ago. No wake locks, no background apps running iv been and know this scenarios.
P. S
sorry for English

I posted a similar problem in the general section, hopefully 4.4.3 will help with this, but if its just you and me, then maybe its slimkat, cus thats what im running also....

Do you have the deb or the flo?
&
What are you using to identify which apps are running in the background (i.e. an app)?
If it's not a rogue application or wakelock, I would probably try flashing a different kernel and test it out for a couple days. If your problem persists, I would flash stock and use it for a week. I always recommend flashing to stock so you can get a reliable baseline to compare it too. If you are on stock and still exhibit the same problem, I would play the warranty card.
That's at least what I would do.

That was some months ago, didnt happened again, but still, very weird...

welcome to the club .
i'm facing this too . after updated to 283, it's solved this for two days only..
Sent from my C6502 using Instagram

facing unusual battery activity too.
there is something weird going on with the battery after updating to .283 . i tried to investigate this with the help of wakelock detector and apperars myxperia and update center are eating up lot of battery. froze them and so far so good.

Froze those as well and still massive battery drain. Checked the battery usage and it seems the OS is the culprit. Any suggestions?

help to you

if you flash rom for several item ..........you can get a battery calibration app and calibrate your battery.

Downloaded that app and ran it. Still testing. Will keep the thread updated with any abnormalities.

Calibrated the battery about a week ago. Still experiencing the drain....

haha same hir , I thought my battery is the problem, seem im not the only one facing this problem, hope there is a bug fix for 4.4.4 or maybe we should wait for android L

Download BetterBatteryStats (there's a free version on XDA)
You can get a decent amount of information regarding wakelocks, partial wakelocks, alarms, etc..
There's also the possibility that your battery could by dying, if you want to know for sure either use something like BBS or reflash/reset to factory.

Art on Vzw note4

Switched runtime to art.. After 2 reeboots this thing flies... Only small problem upon each reeboot it optimizes about 100 apps. Dont know how to fix it. But wow this phone got huge boost.
Anyone know how to fix optimizing apps?
Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

I'd love to know that also. I tried ART once and the optimization thing turned me off so I switched back.

I tried Art when I had my rooted S3, it always updated the apps on a phone restart. I don't think anyone found a fix. Doesn't Lollipop run on Art? Maybe there is a fix.

Yep until L comes I would suspect it's this month just don't know the date but "ART" gives this phone huge boost..

Gonna give art a try now.
EDIT: Immediately went back. s health and mainly pandora doesn't work with it. Not to mention as you guys said, the optimization of apps after a reboot takes at least 10 minutes which is horrible. I didn't think it'd be thattt bad. I remember my moto x would only take a couple minutes. Guess just have to wait till Lollipop.

How is your battery life after art is applied?

I switched back. Its hard to say.. Because reboot took like 10 min.

From what I've read ART on KitKat is experimental and not the same implementation as lollipop. I had it switched on here too and got some apps that didn't work so switched it back

[Q] D852 Lollipop overheating

Am I the only one that since i updated to lollipop, the phone is overheating and is causing the battery to drain really fast. Also, the android system is draining a lot of battery.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Sent from my LG-D852 using XDA Free mobile app

Google develop Lollipop at Battery consumption point of view.
My Lollipop OS works smoothly on my devices.
Something might me wrong with your one.
cause I found everyone having long Battery time.

Is yours overheating? Because i cant support the heat anymore

I hope our 5.1.1 will be this fast!

Find this over in the Sprint 5.1.1 boards somewhere...

The recent apps menu did look like it opened faster but everything else seemed very laggy and jittery. Maybe it's just the video, but my Note 4 is a lot smoother than that one.

The kernel seems to indicate that it's a rooted version and maybe it's debloated and that's why it's snappier..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk

Mine isn't snappier. At all. Maybe on the kernel, but even that wouldn't explain the absolute zero lag on recent apps. My buddy's rooted Note 3 is nowhere near that. Even it has a "little" lag.

My Wife and I got a pair of Note 4's PRIOR to Lollipop. We both upgraded to 5.0.1
She is of the "I dont like messing with it" I have downloaded most every launcher, got involved in themes etc.
Other than disable the bloatware (fitness, milk, ant, etc.) I want to say her phone is so blazing fast I cannot even comprehend why it is so fast compared to mine. I have factory reset mine ( hers no) but that thing is what all phones should be like..
Q: On an Android system does it have something like a defrag like computers? Why would hers be faster than mine? Ideas?

I'm pretty sure the reason is becuase you have a lot more apps on your phone, starting with a different launcher.
I don't know why Android does this (or is it the app developers causing it?)...but a lot of apps load into memory whether you run them or not. Less memory available = slower performance. This is why I was disappointed when the Note 4 came with 3GB instead of 4GB of memory.
I have a lot of apps on my phone, and especially if multitasking it is quite laggy (for example, when I go for a walk, I'll be playing music through BT, and have MyTracks running to track the walk. If a text comes in, it has a very long lag before it opens).
This is the reason I'll likely be replacing my Note 4 with something else soon.

Well, I so have a TMobile N4 on the way. Plan to root, and install a KK ROM. Been researching on the TM Dev site, and there appears to be a great one there. Everybody touts the speed and battery performance.
That being said, the topic of 5.1.1 came up. One of the folks there had just got the T3 version of the N4 wiht 5.1.1, and he said as far as he is concerned, no ROM necessary. Says it flies. No comparison.
So, hopefully, 5.1.1 will be here on AT&T before long.

I switched back to stock launcher, removed a few weather widgets and a few less used apps and now mine flies.
I guess we have been lucky, we have never experienced any battery issues or any other things spoken of during this 5.0.1 update.
The only issue we have ever had is the issue with wifi vs 4G LTE. When you reach an area with wifi it sees the signal, wont connect due to not having the pw and the phone becomes useless unless wifi is turned off or you leave the area. Still waiting on speedify to come through with its beta.

I decided to try the stock launcher after reading your post. It is hard to believe how much faster it is. I miss the customization but love the extra performance. Hope I can figure out why the stock launcher keeps crashing once in a while.

After reading this, I thought I'd give it a try. Jeebus! Okay, so maybe the problem is more Nova Launcher than my actual Note. The downside is, I love Nova! I use the gestures and such constantly. And my phone stays in landscape position all day. Has anyone had success with other launchers?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using XDA Free mobile app

It's weird how different these phones are. I've been using nova prime for about 2 months now. Went back and used stock Touchwiz launcher for a day or so and was thinking how jittery it was compared to nova. Went back to nova.

Yeah, after an hour of using TW, the recent apps lag was back. Switched back to Nova, no lag. For a few minutes. So much for that. Does anyone know exactly what the nature of the "memory leak" in 5.0.1 is? This must be related somehow.

Just curious, for both of you. I do not have my power saving mode turned on. There is a tab there that restricts cpu performance if its on.

JFYI...This past week I got a T-Mobile Note 4. Rooted it, installed a 5.1.1. ROM, and it is much faster. I too use Nova Launcher.
Battery is great too. I typically do an overnight / screen off test to get a general feeling of battery performance.
My AT&T Note 4 overnight with power saving off, wifi on, BT on, used just under 5% / hour. The TM one with same conditions lastnight used .73% / Hour. Yes...less than 1% / hour. I'm seeing quotes over in the ROM thread of 5-6 hours SOT.
I was ready to ditch the Note 4. Not now.
