I’ve loved my Note 3 since I got it. My last work day, end of last week, at around 1:00 PM my battery level read 83%, a common value after coming off charge at 6:00 AM. Upgraded to Lollipop yesterday, so today is the first, full day on it. At 1:00 PM, I look at the charge indicator and its reading 52%, with very light usage. What I'd like to know is if I'm alone or a rarity with this experience, or is there a big, middle-finger thank you to Samsung building.
I like some of the very cool changes, and am embarrassed for Samsung for some of the ridiculous changes made, but can live with all of it. But the change in battery drain is absurd. Does anyone have any idea what might have changed that might be causing this?
My thanks in advance.
It could be just that your phone is still in the throes of the upgrade. Try rebooting and see how it goes.
Go through and shut stuff off like network scan **** like that kills battery

Just wondering what the spread is on people that were patient enough to wait for that green LED light before powering on your device as HTC's support site recommends.
I didnt. lol
I was playing with the thing until it almost died, then plugged it in and kept playing.
Couldnt help myself.
I just got mine and it's been charging for about 40 minutes. I'm DYING to turn it on!!
I wasn't. I don't have any issues with the led not turning green either. I ran it to shutdown day one and all seems well as far as battery. In fact, I'm impressed with the battery life which has gotten better over the past few days.
Sent from my 3VO!
If i had that kind of restraint I wouldn't have stayed up late to order the phone
My guess is that "No, I powered it on immediately." is going to take it.
It's been on since day one, save a few restarts.

This is exactly what I did, lol.
I didn't. I got 2 days on a single charge with heavy usage. I'm happy.
nope, got it and started using it for phone calls for about an hour till i got home then plugged it in and got all my apps downloaded and everything else set the way i wanted it.
Yep, came home Friday and got it off my doorstep to plug in. Got home 4 hours later to a full battery and enjoyed.
What is recommended for the battery? Should you start it when you first get it and drain the initial charge then charge it? Or fully charge it before using it?

Thank you, I just remember back in the day the instructions always said to fully charge before use
Did you have to calibrate the battery like you did on the Evo?
This phone aside from keyboard lag and batt drain is awesome...
I've tried and tried to understand why whether on gb or ics batt drains like can watch % drop every few minutes
My hox on ics wasnt half as bad I'm rooted anyone know a good fix or kernel for team objection ics or a kernel.
And why for God sakes do all Samsung devices slowwwwww charge if u don't have a 2nd battery when first dies you'll be in the red zone rest day trying to regain some type of charge

Try the official Emily rom its gingerbread..there's even a couple of good themes for it, I had very good battery with that rom. Am now testing ics CM9. Sometimes its the settings you have and brightness that kills the battery. I leave my brightness on 40% keep auto sync OFF.. Even black wallpapers and inverted apps help with battery as it takes less energy to energize the pixels...I get awesome battery life on my note.. And I use perfect keyboard pro....I have NO lag what's so ever...sometimes rarely you'll get lag on keyboards but clearing ram or cache seems to help restore the order of things....hope this helps a little

What's your run time

"Since God created man, and man created the Galaxy Note, the Galaxy Note are like a gift from God, Randal!"
Interesting I own a Note never had any Battery Issues....
If you got a defective Unit try to take it back to your ATT Store.
I see you own the I717 Unit that's the ATT Model. ATT will gadly replace it with the same device or get full refund back.......
If it's only the Battery Issue it might not be the Phone it self just a bad battery I would by another battery it would cost you around $20 which isn't a lot of money for a replacement on a battery.....
It takes me 2 and half hours or less to get a full charge on my battery but I've never rooted my device.......
I don't know if AT&T hates your or something but I don't have keyboard lag or a bad battery.

I get great battery life on my phone.
I'm on viper4g my battery life on stock kernel has always been good on jellybean typically still have well over 50% by the end of my day just using my phone intermittent browsing Xda on my break at work or what have you. The other day this battery drain kicks in and I couldn't find a runaway app or anything that had change significantly bring it about. I heard about this app gsam battery monitor and have been using it only problem is the percentages are going way over 100% for phone signal I can't make out what the issue even is. From my understanding having a high percentage for screen is good since that means the power is drawing primarily from the display being on as oppose to data or radio having drain when you are not using them.

I had the same problem today. Also on viper4g, running custom kernel. Yesterday I ended the day with 1 day 4 hours on one charge. Today my phone was dead in 8 hours. Tried restarting it a couple times when I noticed the battery was dropping quick.

My house gets a weak signal but that hasn't ever been a huge factor...when it drains it does even when I'm working in town where there's good reception.

Strange wish I could pinpoint what happened, it appears I'm back on track now but I'm weary of phone signal % creeping back up near or over 50%
I had the same problem when i was running viper a couple of weeks ago and i just switched to a stock rom and knock on wood my battery lasts me the whole day.
Well vipers Rom isn't built to hold a charge for along time what they emphasized on was the ability to customize just about everything which seperates it from the rest.

Soi saw the hyperion 5200mah with back cover on amazon for $19.99. Anyone have this battery and if so is it actually a huge step up in terms of battery life? Its double the stock battery but we all know what that can mean though so is it an actual good increase or no?

I have an Anker 5200 that I got off of Amazon, came with back cover as well. Cost me the same $20. And mine made a huge difference... Definitely twice the battery life for sure and the 5200's are nice because there not too too big.
I'd imagine the Hyperion would bring the same results.

So you like it? Gets you through a day and some orno? Right now if I manage to forget to charge it over night from the following day its dead by 10am and it sucks not having a phone at work in the prisons.

Oh Yea! It gets me through the day... right now I have 60% Battery left with 8 total hours on the battery and 4 hours screen on time.
And usually it's better than that... Just today I spent some time in recovery and flashed a few things so these stats are not even the best.
With my use I can get like 10-12 hours screen on time. This on an AOSP ROM running a custom kernel + Greenify.
It's definitely the perfect battery for me. Only like 2 times since I've had this battery ( about 7 months ) have I had to charge the phone during the day. And that was only cuz i used Navi + Listened to music + Some other apps all day non stop.

Wonder how much different the Hyperion would be to the anker. I remember seeing the banker on sell but didn't recognize the name so didn't jump on it.
Here are my stats right now. Cm11 and stock kernel.

You know I don't know how much different the two batteries would be. Both are very good companies and from what I've read both had very good reviews. So you probably can't go wrong either way.
I have Hyperion battery in my girls S4 and that one seems to hold up pretty well. It's not a big one however so I can't compare...

Are others having this? i mean i go through a full battery about twice a day.... I cant figure out what is draining it so bad. i have used WLD, greenify, and bootmanager to try to figure it out..... None of my apps are ever on the battery list, and screen is around 50% usually with android system and android OS always being up the list. I always thought it was my bad signal strength at work but i had two weeks off and my phone NEVER lasted even close to a day.
I have factory reset once but loaded my same apps backup.
I heard someone else mention that the sprint has this weird battery drain that is explainable and was wondering if others see that also.
I am on the search for a 6000+ mah battery i know it will have a replacement back plate but i don't want the whole case thing like the 9000 zero lemon.
Sounds like kernel wakelock
As of the last two days i have also been experiencing much faster battery drain. Have had the phone since launch and never had this problem.
I do not use the device in excess. Very few if any phone calls per day, some texting and gmail, occasional skim of xda, huffpo, phandroid apps and very light Twitter use if bored and not near the computer.
Battery has dipped 5% since writing this post...that's all of 1-2 minutes in use.

That's not normal for a Sprint LG G3. A couple of questions:
Have you looked at the battery stats page to see what app(s) are using the most battery? I'd suggest taking a screen shot of that page and posting it here.
Have you tried rebooting the phone? If there's an app or process running out of control that will often clear it up.
Are you rooted? If so, install better battery stats so we can get a better look at what's eating the battery.
Finally, you might want to take a look at this thread: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...android-system-eating-your-battery-check.html
While it's unlikely you have the same problem I did, the tools and techniques I used to debug it might be useful for you.
Gonna wait for some custom roms to see if the problem just goes away.

Dude the battery app should show you what is causing it. Something has gone rouge!!! I just had my weather app running in the background using GPS for 5 hours, yeah my battery went way down. Freeze some BS apps. I routinely get 30 hrs plus on a single charge. Not the phone itself something you are using is causingi it.
As requested, my craptastic battery info. Brightness was 83.
