Just like the other poster I just got a Note 4 running kitkat (unrooted) and the battery is draining like crazy!
I want to get this phone rooted, but I am wondering if I should update my software to Marshmallow (or Lollipop) before rooting? What would be better for battery and overall performance of the phone? Battery is my biggest concern... is there anything I can do to the phone once it's rooted to extend battery life? Will upgrading to either of the firmware versions lock the bootloader so that it is no longer rootable?
Any help would be appreciated!
Confused,
me

As far as battery, I think you'll do better with any ROM that has ItsOn removed.
IIRC, ItsOn wasn't activated while Note 4 was officially on KitKat. KitKat offered the best battery stats during that time as well. I haven't duplicated my best KitKat battery stats but came close with Lollipop Moar 2.1b with Beastmode kernel. I've recently hit a new high on Marshmallow PG1 update with Beastmode kernel.
Really think it's Google apps that are becoming more battery intensive than that era. So it may not be so much KitKat but applications and limitations thereof that factor into battery stats.
These stats are uncharacteristic for this phone but reachable if limiting streaming and mostly browsing with Wi-Fi and using Wi-Fi Calling. I do have some optimizations in place that root makes possible.

I would say it could be any number of things, however the question is, what have you changed recently? Any updates, new apps?
Also, with this increase have you seen any decrease in your battery usage? I will have 70+% android usage sometimes but battery doesn't drain any faster. This is a normal thing for AOSP especially. Someone noted that they had high A.S. usage on a stock Nexus 4g.
This may just go away with a days usage, but be sure to check for partial wakelock. This option is in Spare Parts app not sure if its built in to MIUI. The wake lock is what kills your phone, when an app goes bonkers and keeps your phone awake.

True. Miui has updates every Friday. So yeah, i updates last Friday. I switched from tiamat to savagezen just so i can fix the high usage but to no avail. I can't check battery partial lock because miui has battery stats issues right now.

In addition to what imheroldman stated, charging your device will oftentimes cause your android system usage to spike, but 20% is nothing to be concerned with.

Hello,
I am experiencing fast battery drain on 3G/4G Sprint network.
I recently flashed my Epic 4G Touch to Calkulin's ROM.
Any suggestions on how to slow down this battery drain?
Thank you in advance.
Turn 4G off when not using it... It will murder your battery, also try ComaDose (XDA E4GT Android Development) or Greenify or DS Battery Saver from the Play Store (I use all three)

Hey bud. Wait, did you say you're on Calkulin's ICS ROM? Brings out the nostalgic feelings in me... do what the other two said, but also update profile & prl. Usually folks on this device only roll back to one of the legendary Calkulin Classics these days to get good, long battery life, and it's usually not the ICS build they head to, so... hopefully ones of these things will tidy that up for you (i.e. Greenify, DS Battery Saver); Calkulin's ROMs have useful scripts already there for CPU states and stuff... Cheers. :good:
I'm using Llama to automate some settings to lessen the battery drain. Display (screen brightness) seems to have been the biggest culprit.
So a month ago I upgraded my epic 4g touch to stock rooted most current official release, and flashed the newest clock work mod... Not sure what kernel. And anyhow, after flashing it, basically my battery dropped in more than half.. After an hour of it sitting around I drop 30%. I even have greenify keeping my apps hibernated. Since I'm use to the s3, I'm not sure what to do.. Do I just flash a new kernel or what? Yes I did search and got nothing about battery drain after flashing an update.

Those are all common sense and app suggestions... This isn't an issue to be fixed with an app.. It's something going on.. Maybe the kernel

Most likely an app causing wakelocks that isn't allowing your phone to sleep. Look in Settings/About Phone to see what kernel you flashed.
I believe that your power drain issues are related to mine. Sometime in the last two months I found my battery draining about twice as fast. Upon investigation i found that nlpcollector was the culprit (google location services). After turning off google location services I found that my battery life went back to normal. I understand that this isn't an ideal fix, but hopefully it is temporary and google fixes nlpcollector so it isn't doing wakelocks like crazy.

Any wise words from someone with more knowledge would be a big help.
There's already a quite visible thread about the battery in MM.

Did not see that post thanks for the link
for me the battery is quite good
are you using V20B???
and did you do a factory reset after updating to MM ?
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
Battery is poor on MM in general. I havr V20B but still poor. I dont know how it would compare to CM13
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
All of you ppl who are having bad battery life, i suggest you do a factory reset. Backup yor settings/apps via LG Bridge.
Anyway that helped me a lot. I can't get the battery-on-time i used to have on LP, but at least i come close now...
So I've had this problem for a while now where the phone would be awake for longer than my screen has been on. I would usually get around 10-12% of standby drain overnight.
But since this morning the problem has gotten way worse; the phone has been awake for pretty much every second with 20% overnight drain (I've attached a screenshot below).
How should I go about troubleshooting the issue?
I'm using the Indian variant with 6 gb and I'm currently on MIUI 10.0.2.

Battery Drain Because of Continue High Cpu Frequency Bug
Some Persons Solve this Bug in Miui 10.0.3.
Not solved!
I have also Redmi Note 5 global version with latest MIUI 10.2.1.0 stable and no root just unlocked bootloader and face the same problem!
A big thumb down to Xiaomi.
Maybe chinese try to spy people? Bugs like this should be addressed asap but it seems they are still in place, version after version.
With this big battery we should not face issues of this kind and have battery life over 2 days if this bugs would be resolved!
There a question in my mind: why the hell all manufacturers go for encapsulated phones where you cannot take the battery out??? Devices need current nonstop, even when they're off, for what??? Conspiracy?
Still, what we should do in order to repair our problems, without rooting if it is possible! I know rooting solves a lot of bugs but I'd like to keep it simple.
Something is running in background, try to figured out which app is awake by looking into running services under developer option and then close running applications
S.off your phone for 5 mins and then reboot your device
