I get exactly the same thing, I'm also interested to hear if it's a problem.

Samsung's heavy skin is up, lol. I can play KOTOR(Knights of the Old Republic) for three hours straight after using it for three hours previously browsering the web and chatting with HangOuts and G+. This is on a custom ROM.

any help?

I am looking for an answer to this issue for almost 2 years without any successful asnwer. I tried with a new battery but that is not the problem. The problem is in the device.

i have the same problem. i also have a refurb i bought a while back. i think the only thing to do is replace the battery. sad but true.

ive tried every custom rom pretty much and it doesnt help with the battery drain for me playing games. touchwiz and aosp. i think you either have a good battery or a bad battery and thats it.

I also believe this new lollipop updates brings a fresher experience as well as the UI is much more fluid too.. I'm sure alot under the hood has been upgraded too

I have the same problem, the battery can drain upto 65% in 20-30 mins. The area round the camera gets very hot, If I switch the tablet off and let it cool down, when I switch on again the battery will have recovered most of the charge. What is wrong, my wife doesn't have a problem with her older 8" note.

I have the same issue after upgrading to lollipop... lose about 50% in 30 mins when playing games, especially Clash of Clans... SOT of just over an hour...and the tab is always on Airplane mode with only WiFi on. Even location is turned off. ..
Didn't have the problem in KitKat. Anybody got any solutions? Really fed up of this.
Unrooted, stock ROM.

Did you perform a full wipe / factory reset after upgrade from KK to L ?

I have had my Samsung Note 2014 repaired under warranty at John Lewis. The 'Logic board was replaced and the tablet now seems fine, I upgraded to Lollipop last night and it still seems ok.

[Q] Anyone considering returning the E4GT due to bad battery life?

I am one of the unfortunate souls who is experiencing terrible battery life due to the AndroidOS bug. I feel like I spend half my waking hours trying to figure out what is causing it and doing different things to my phone improve my battery life.
I'm definitely getting sick of it and while I realize that Samsung/Sprint may eventually come out with a software update that fixes the problem, I'm not sure I'm willing to wait since it could take months (and the issue was supposedly fixed for GS2 phones in 2.3.4).
At this point, I'm considering going back to the Moto Photon--it's battery life is simply amazing. My only issue with the Moto is its unusable camera.
Anyone else getting as frustrated as I am and considering jumping ship to another phone?
What have you done to fix it?
Are you saying that you still have the bug even aftera factory reset ?
Why not just take it back and have them give you a new one since you obviously have a defective phone?
Also how many hours are you actually getting out of the battery?
I don't see any other phone worth switching to and I have had them all. Each with their own specific problem. But this one here is as good as it gets

I've tried just about everything that has been mentioned in the AndroidOS/battery life thread (reset, wifi, autosync) but I'm still getting only 12 hours of battery life on a good day, 8 hours on a bad day
I might try exchanging the phone, but I'm hesitant to do so due to the LOS bug (I have not experienced this with my phone as of yet).
Honestly, while I love the phone in many other ways, I'm about to throw the thing out the window since 8 hours of battery life is simply not acceptable to me

That doesn't mean anything to me. What's the display on time? How good/bad is the cellular signal?
Exchange it bro. Ive had two of these phones so far and none had this problem. I'm getting like 24-30 hours battery with like 4-5 hours screen on time. This phone had awesome battery. Download an apps called better battery stats. This will show wakelocks and processes that are draining the battery. Good luck man.

On a good day, the display is on for less than 30-45 min. On a bad day, the phone display time is somewhere between 90-120 minutes.
I pulled 16 hours ojt of my battery yesterday with over 12 on wifi and i was at 40 percent. I have to use wifi at work as i have no signal and when i do get signal its roaming. I would say that my conditions at work are far from ideal but this phone is great. My old phone would die before 1130(evo shift).

return it.
mine doesn't seem to get the android os bug unless i'm on a custom kernel. 1 week stock, no problems, 3 days on custom problems each day, back to stock + root and no problems for 48 hrs.
i still have to be 100% sure that my phone didn't like the kernel though so another test will be coming up after a few more days of observation.

I had the issue with the stock kernel and custom kernels. I'm just going to hold out until we can get a AOSP build and hope that using as little of Samsung's code fixes it.

I'm on stock and have nothing out of the ordinary installed. Out of curiosity, do you have a google account with full sync turned on?
Lol 8 12 hours isn't bad with a stock battery and 4.5 inch screen. If you are in a poor reception area it could be that. Otherwise you have alot of Apps running in the background.
My advice : root it and extended battery.

I average 15-20 hours easily on a charge, with a full sync google account
Everything Sync'd Listed below:
- Google+ Notifications
- Music
- Books
- Contacts
- Gmail
- Picasa Web Albums
- Calendar
If anything else can be Sync'd I have not run across it. I also have my Tapatalk set to notify me of PM's, and updates to Subscribed topics, I removed the accuweather widget because it only updates every 3 hours and installed Weatherbug Elite and set it to update every 30 minutes. On top of all that I browse the web regularly to visit sites that are websense'd at work, and I play dungeon hunter 2, and asphalt 6 on my lunch break. At home the phone sits on my desk until its time to pass out, only used for my Rift Mobile authenticator.
This is a real bug, with android
the system/0 process goes crazy and chews up the battery.
I get about 12 hours with everything disabled (other than gmail sync) and suspend/0 chews up battery
well documented here
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=16721
it's a gingerbread issue, if you haven't experienced on the galaxy, you will soon
I'm also considering returning this great phone with crappy software until google releases a version of android that works.
by that time there may be a new "best android phone"
Why does the bug seem to affect the gs2 more than other phones? For example, I've never seen it mentioned on the photon forums

My Fix For HOX Tegra Heat Problem

Hi I don't know if you guys read my last thread about me being really wanting to extend battery life and reduce heat on my HOX. What I did was simply using Blade Rom + used only 2 cores instead of 4. Performance wasn't really affected (except for gaming) and I was really happy.
But now I really wanted to try something new and was tired of the Sense interface. I ended up flashing tons on mods and bricking my phone. So I had to wipe it fully and reflash. I installed Blade ROM v4.6. Two days later I saw that it had a de-sensing script which sounded nice to me since I was tired of sense. To my amazement (though i don't have exact temperature values), the device is now running much cooler and it feels much nicer in my hands. Still a little warm but much less than on stock or custom(with sense).
I believe Sense to be causing a big percentage of that heat ... well at least this can be derived from my observations. Im not really sure if this has been posted before but I saw a lot of threads dealing with this problem and I hope this helps someone.
P.S When I de-sensed i think its now using Nova Launcher

Theres something wrong with your HoX , my hox never gets *warm* or *hot* on regular use even with all 4 cores on, when playing demanding 3d games (nfs for sintence) it reaches around 35-40C max, while playing it being on charger then it gets *warm* or a little bit *hot* HoX shouldn't be getting *hot* if you're using it normally lol, only while playing 3d games on charger. At least that's how it is for me.
what heat problem??? heat is now ancient history ever since the JB OTA
your HOX or your custom ROM has a problem
Exactly. Now even when playing taxing games like GTA 3, GTA Vice City, NFSMW, the phone stays cool. I remember on ICS< the thing heated till 50 degrees + and shut off by itself ...Thank the lord for the JB update :victory:

My phone gets overheated when playing games on charge. I'm on stock JB Rom. When I was on stock ICS Rom the phone didn't get overheated regularly, but when I updated to JB it gets overheated so fast.

You shouldn't be even playing intesive 3d games while on charge , that kind of stuff are killing your battery , not straight away but over the time, anyway once someone said about this *gaming while charging is same as $hitting while eating* =) , anyway it can also depend on your rom/kernel. I used to play games while on chrager due to addictivity of games tho never got really overheating issues, few times since i have it.

ViperX 3.3.2 stock kernel, didn't test it for gaming long period , but gaming seems to be smoother then back in ICS days for the time i tested ( up to 10 mins each game) , didn't overheat or anything durring this 30 min test period for me, tho it's expected if you play for example NFS MF for over a hour or so to get little bit warm, but shouldn't go over 35-40C off the charger, anyway you gotta remember heeting on hox can happen as well if you're in warm room , tested that lol, played NFS in warm room at my house , actually very warm room around 30C and in another room with maybe 10C in the room, phone was much cooler then in the previous room , as for playing it on the charge it got overheated in around 20 mins of playtime in the 30C room and in the 10C room stayed little bit warmer but not overheating. So conclusion = one part of overheating depends on the room temperature lol. which means hox should be literally unplayable with charger when the summer time comes =P (btw this heat test was done back in ICS days not JB , anyway JB seams to be much better for this matter )
- Edit - this was meant for this

Just bought the Note 10.1 2014... and the battery is horrible. 3.5 hours max.

I love everything about the tablet, but I am strongly considering returning it because the battery is so bad.
I was watching a movie last night, and I noticed that I had 70% left... and after the 2 hour movie I was down to less than 15%. That can not be the norm. That's horrible.
I'm thinking about rooting it to a custom ROM and/or returning it.
Any ideas or suggestions on this?

That is definitely not normal. I've had mine for almost a year and even on stock ROM I was getting 5 1/2 hours (I play a lot of games) screen time with a day or two of battery life. It would help if you posted a screen shot of you're battery usage after your next full charge so we can better help you.

I had the same issue with yours when I first bought my table. I'm so piss that I don't care about knox counter any more and rooted my device. Currently I'm running custom rom/kernel with screen on time about 8+ hrs watching HD stream movies through the internet. Also, sleeping time is incredible long and I found love again.

It's mostly stock rom so it very stable, the main engine is the Xluco custom kernel. This rom is using the latest NJ1 the latest stock rom (which is the best to date stock rom) slim (debloated), so your device would give you the best of both world, battery life, performance and stability. I have done the following in order to add an extra 1 to 1 -1/2 hrs to my device.
1) Installed Glowing battery (set to extreme), no need to play around, it does it job well
2)Go into application running and freeze all un-needed service/apps. If you have question about what you can freeze from your list just ask here. Currently I only have these running:
Glowing battery lifesaver, Device test, Google Services(3), com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService, Google Play Music, Snote and Samsung keyboard.
3) screen brightness set to 30%, only crank up when needed.
Good luck

[Q] Battery Drain VZ Note 4 4.4.4

Hey guys! Have had my NOTE 4 for over a month, now all of a sudden my battery is dying quickly. Android System and Android OS are the main causes.

Thanks for your help btw! What makes it terrible is that i had been getting around 4 hours of screen time easily just a week ago. Isn't it odd that all of a sudden "Android System" and "Android OS" have jumpped up as the largest drain? Keeping in mind that i had 2 hours and 30 mins of screen time, yet (based on my attached images) "Android System" was a LARGER battery drain than my screen. Doesn't that seem odd? What could possibly be running that would cause a larger drain that 2 1/2 hours of my screen?

Not to my knowledge...i used to use "Wakelock Detector" which was a great app that gave insight into things "hung up" however it is not compatible with kit-kat (unless you are root, than it works)

Same thing is going on with my note. And it's not weird. It's impressive, the system uses more power thanks to touchwiz and the screen is that efficient. There's no unusual drain. Things are as they should be

Thats one way of looking at it and a good point! I wonder if we'll benefit from "Project Volta" within Lolipop since we'll have Touchwiz layering overtop...

hmm just get root then like us developer edition people!
Is root possible for Verizon Note 4? Thought bootloader was locked?
A couple of things to check : 1. What was the new apps or new update you have between now and then. 2. Are you using smart remote. 3. Google services seems to be the culprit here. Any new services?
On my Note 4 I wasn't using any new apps or services and have not received any updates...I'm still running 4.4.4.
I don't use smart remote either. I think I've pinned it down to Sync issues with Google Play Movies and TV (not syncing those anymore) and "Unified Daemon" (which I turned off). Thanks for you help! Truly appreciated!

Why smart remote? Just curious

I am not sure but in the past Samsung's WatchOn gave me lots of battery drain
I feel your pain. I'm missing root bad — even just for freezing apps. You can do some minimal tweaking though. You can turn off some of the bloatware that came pre-installed.

Very disappointed to buy a HTC 10, and some questions

Good afternoon to all, I hope you can help me with this situation.
I have 20 days with the HTC 10, and I can not be more disappointed of its performance, and coming from a galaxy s6, but we go by parts.
1- the phone, it gets very hot, very fast, especially after updating to nougat 7, I mean, with 15 20 minutes of surfing on the web, it reaches temperatures between 40-44 C ° (104-111 F °) , At this temperature it is uncomfortable to hold. Is this normal ??
Taking into account that I do not play, I only watch videos, I listen to music and web, because I just did a hard reset, which brings us to point 2.
2 - It is the first time, I update an android version, and a big error appears, once updated to android 7, the keyboard stopped working (swiftkey), so I could not access it because it was protected By password, and the keyboard in the start section, never displayed. I had to do a hard reset with only 15 days of use, seriously WTF!
3- Due to the warm up, the battery life is quite poor (between 3.5 and 4 hours of screen, no play, or take pictures all day, turning off mobile data at times and wifi, is this battery drain normal?
The battery come to exhaust quickly, especially when the phone is very hot, when restarting the phone, it eats 3-5% of battery every time.
When taking photos the same, the battery drops very quickly.
4- I normally play on a PC at 60 fps, the phone when playing video on youtube, has a slight lag or "stuttering", this jumps out at me very easily, although there are people who do not see it at all, I do by The same as I mentioned earlier.
When playing video youtube on the phone, the camera movements are not smooth, there are micro-cuts to the FPS, and it is very annoying.
5- before upgrading to android 7, just install a game, "realm defense, hero legends", a very popular game on android, and felt like it was under 30fps all the time, my previous galaxy s6 handled this very smooth,
6- Points 4 and 5 are solved by activating the "high performance" option in the menu of developers, the lag in the videos disappears completely, and the games feel very good, but with the consequent increase in battery usage and Temperature, seriously WTF again.
The phone according to CPUZ has a load of 15-35% all the time without loading any application, this is normal in andrid 7 ??
The phone is in stock status, with the update of the operator, I have no ROM installed, and I have no idea how to do it, because I would not like to lose the warranty.
Any recommendations to this situation ??
THANKS and excuse my bad English.
May want to ask for a replacement. None of the issues you mentioned here and I have been using this phone for almost a year.
No these are not normal. Obviously something is running around causing the CPU usage and eating the battery. Given how many problems you're having I would do a factory reset, see how it goes without installing any apps. If things get better that'll help your pinpoint the troublesome app(s). If not, a replacement is in order.

I do not know what to have, I have a hardreset for 4 days and I have not installed many apps yet, and it has these problems.
I appreciate your comments.

I'll second that, although I've only used mine for about six months. I do admit that running Android 6 the phone did seem to get hotter than it does with Android 7.
That being said, when I'm running a game battery life does suck, and it does get warm. I think I'm about 5 to 6 hours of screen on time, but I'm also bone stock with a bunch of extra apps in the background.
Just for reference:

Thank you friend, I am interested to know more about your experience with the phone, why you only had 6 months?
Could you fix some problem that he gave you?
Greetings.
I have HTC 10 for one year and several days, never had those issues.
I admit HTC storage r&w speed is slower than S6 because of emmc5.1, but mine is smooth enough.
I also recognized the battery life is shorter on Android 7.0, but it's a general issue for phones upgraded to this version of Android...Not just HTC10, Sony, Samsung etc also has this problem.
As for SwiftKey stopped working, I have no such an issue, in fact I'm a mod of SwiftKey.
At last for the temperature, mine gets 38 °C while fast charging; 42°C is max while playing heavy games.

Mine gets 40°C Without doing anything, and playing reaches 44-45 °
And it seems ridiculous, that when doing this app can not with the 60fps, for a little ball in 2D.

Again, it reaches almost 60 FPS, activating the high performance mode.
Thanks for sharing your experience.

Sorry, I should clarify...
I've had the phone for about 7-8 months now (longer than I originally thought, got it back in September of last year...) and got the update to nougat about 4 months ago.
When the phone was running marshmallow, it would get warm while working on tasks that aren't CPU/GPU intensive. With the update to nougat, it definitely helped with the heat production. That's not to say it doesn't get warm... If I'm playing Rayman Classic on full brightness, that phone gets really REALLY warm. But when playing Deus Ex - The Fall, even on high brightness, it doesn't get uncomfortably warm like when playing Rayman. Also, basic tasks don't overheat the phone like they would on MM.
I should note that I typically leave power saver turned on as well. I've found it doesn't affect performance noticeably for myself. I've also had Boost+ optimise all foreground apps from the overheating nightmare on MM, and I hadn't bothered to turn it off... These could play into the heat production of my phone as well...
My time with this awesome phone has been so short due to my contract with my former service provider...
I think most of your issues will get resolved after installing Custom Rom. Infact I am in similar situation like you. I can't root my phone due to warranty. As i know for fact that in my country HTC charge huge amount of money even for small issue. After spending that much money on repair, there is no guarantee that phone will work fine cause engineers are not capable enough, maybe cost cutting by HTC. Meanwhile i would suggest select SRGB instead of Vivid display, it will surely reduce heating problem to some extent.
