So is this the AOS bug? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

At the time I turned off the wifi thats when I stopped using the phone. About 54% battery when I went to sleep and about 7hrs later 1% left.

Your device did not enter into a deep sleep due to some program still running actively in the background. You should use another battery usage tracker for better tracking on specific applications that are running in the background causing the drain.

I should have a bar on the awake portion right ?

Not sure what you meant. Background sync and many applications are classified under Android System so there is no way to tell who is the culprit.

My own usage stops at the part where Awake and screen of bars stop, if an app was keeping the phone awake, I should have a bar on the awake section and none on the screen.

Hi,
This issue is familiar with me. So in wifi settings you have a special option which can be bring up by pressing the menu key which is left from the home button and there is a menu special or something.. and there you can turn on to switch off the wifi when the screen is locked! and do NOT forget to SAVE your changes by menu button!!
Hope this will help u

This issue seems to be going on and off but now its back again.
4hrs since unplugged dropped to about 92%

Just to be fair, it does show that in 4 hours you have used your screen, so much so that it's the 2nd thing on the list. I'm still playing with my SGN but on my SGS2 my screen is always #1 or #2, depending if I use it a lot or a little that day. And Android OS is always #1 or #2 as well. I'd say in 4 hours, 92%, that equates to 2% an hour, which isn't bad, while still turning on your screen every once and a while. At that rate you'll go over 2 days (50 hours), which is pretty good as I recall.

I forgot to take a snap on the screen time, it only has less than 7mins of usage.

How I solved my battery drain problem!
Have you tried turning off 3G?
I also had this issue battery drain was huge. It started appearing suddenly one day. Its a very slow process to figure out the culprit. I did a step by step analysis.
1. Found out that battery drain was happening only when 3G was on. Verified this by switching off data network (long press power button to deactivate).
2. Also verified abnormal data usage in my carrier page when I was not using my phone [like - 3G was on and I was watching a movie at a theater].
3. I also saw abnormal battery drain soon after I started Google Maps after a fresh reboot.
4. So I identified the culprit - Google Maps - but was not sure how to solve battery drain [Google Maps restarts, if you kill it].
5. I installed a variety of apps to identify the battery hog. Finally I went for Task Identifier.
6. Task Identifier finally showed me what programs started while my screen was off, etc. And I started noting them. Finally I figured out that Google Maps::BackgroundFriendService was running frequently.
7. A quick search on Google helped me understand that this is about Google Latitude. It searches for your friend's location every now and then - leading to battery drain!!!
8. I opened up Latitude and signed out from it [I guess the sign out option is in Menu -> Privacy].
9. Do not re-open Google Latitude after this - you will get signed in again leading to battery drain.
10. After 2-3 months of search and prodding, I finally figured out the cause of battery drain and fixed it - now I get 2 - 3 days of charge in my battery under normal usage!!
I'm happy now!!
Hi,
If you're using Froyo and can access file in your phone,
In task manager , on the tab "Summary", click on the "start monitoring" button. Let it monitor the phone over the night. The next morning, there should be 2 files created in your sdcard, one is CPUxxxxx and the other one is battxxxxxx.
The Batxxx tells you when the percentage of the battery at certain time of time. the CPUxxxx will tell you wht applications are running during that period.
When i used it first time, i notice that facebook and lattitude always running - when I stop these 2 tasks; i get a normal drain again.
while you guys are at it.
here's my "problem".
when I surf for an hour over 2g I losing about 10% batterylife and android reports that my display uses around 90% to 95% of the battery.
display is set to lowest brightness + screen filter.
is that normal? (im guessing it is not).
used dozens of different roms (stock, darky, jims, etc...), same behaviour everywhere.
i already did all the battery stat wiping and whatnot.
is it a faulty battery or display or something?
for the OP, maybe a combination of the above with this could help :

[Q] Is my battery broken?

Hey I have just bought HTC One 2 days ago. Compared to my old Sensation XE battery life completly sucks. I usually use phone without battery saver, on auto brightness and with Wi-Fi/3g turned on only on demand. Today 8 hours after unplugging phone from the charger I only have 26%. Screen was turned on for 2 hours and 45 minutes only and Wi-Fi worked for 3 hours and 46 mins. I might also say that I did not charge my One before usage to 100% as HTC advised. Was that very crucial? Do you think that phone might be broken or I should just give him time to settle baterry better.
That's sounds like what I get. I turn off mobile data when using WiFi and vice versa. I always use power saver unless I'm 3D gaming. Which is only on the weekends.
I've had mine for 3 months now.
I've seen people get 7:00 screen time on stock unrooted.
I think my battery's broken too. I can barely reach 3 hours of screen time. With 2 hours I get like 11 maybe 12 hours of on time. Something's wrong with our phones...
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Your battery stats seem on par with me and the OP. Seems that only a select few phones get decent battery life.
My kernel (android os) has been in the 25-35% range,it has never been that high before.
battery life lousy
I get pretty horrible drain too. I charged it to nearly full around 7:30 last night. I took about 2 minutes of video, sent one text, and checked my email 3 times. After that I went to sleep and the phone sat idle. At 6:30 this morning, I'm down to 9%.

Wow, that's real bad.. When my phone is off during night maybe 7% is gone. Then again I'm rooted and use greenify aswell as battery doctor if that has any affect.
On screen time seems like my battery drains pretty fast too though. After 2 hours of music and surfing and watching videos I guess atleast 40% would be gone.
My battery life became horrible, too. My phones loses 4% per unused hour. No App seems to be responsible for that drain. Flightmode or powersaving mode ain't making a difference. I hope we'll find a solution for our drain.

@Racingmatt your power management services is on for quite a bit. do you have alarms.? i would bet that you either that maps location enabled or something of the sort. cause you also have NLPcollector on for around 40 minutes which is a bit much. also i would turn off GPS if your not actively using it.
@Rachorid how are you setting up your wifi? is it set to always be on? or set to turn off when screen off? you have alot of wifi wake. might be due to that. i know when i'm at home my wifi actively pings all devices connected which will force wake up my phone. yea its a bit annoying but i live with it. otherwise i just keep my phone plugged in.
if you both can get some SS of alarms i can give you a better idea. and when you SS the alarms make sure to click on the ones with the most wake lock so i can see the secondary screen that shows what the actual wakelock command is happening.

Here are the latest stats. As you can see many Google wakes.. removing Maps/Now/GMail/turning of Location (a few days ago) had no impact on my drain. The 2nd app on Partial Wakelocks was used actively.
I also disabled Wifi for about 2 hours.. no impact, too. Flightmode also had no impact (a few days ago).

The reason I didnt give you a alarm ss is because I didn't have any alarms when I went to the alarms section. I also had all locations services including GPS enabled but I just now disabled GPS but left network location enabled I'll give you a screenshot later so you can see the differences
I know exactly how you feel that's what happened to me,u was expecting so much from the battery and it turned out to be the worst..give ya some advice...3g drains the **** out of the battery ,so always jeep it off and turn it on only when you wanna use it...that way the battery will be acceptable... Also flashing a custom Rom would help...o recommend arhd

I had awesome battery life a month ago with Wifi always on, auto. brightness and every app on hourly sync. (I have my phone since 7th of march) Sometimes I didn't lost a percent over night (8 hours) and I just don't know what it could be because I didn't install another app and no app seems to be responsible for that stanby drain. My on-screen battery life is still good. It also doesn't matter which ROM or kernel I'm using.
Here is my latest stats after 12 hours with 5 minutes of GPS use (turned off when not using)and network location on all the time with 3g/4g on all the time(turns off after a period of inactivity) . I can't give you a alarm stat because I'm not rooted.
Lithium-Ion batteries used in today's smartphones need atleast 10 cycles to show optimum power
so hold on until 2 weeks then you will get the full performance
i get 2 days of battery on my HTC One (since i dont have internet on my Simcard)
its 2G connection and auto Brightness and switched bloatwares off
i use Android Revolution HD 12.2

with normal use 3.6%/h is pretty reasonable. how much screen on time was that including?

[Q] Phone Awake While Asleep

So here's the deal. Wasn't getting great idle drain but figured I'd give it a while to see if it worked itself out. It hasn't. Took my phone off the charger and slept for less than 8 ours and loss almost 16% about 2% per hour.
I had wifi on. Blue tooth off. gps off. i have greenify stopping my voicemail and facebook app. I have about 60 something apps frozen. Android OS took up most of my battery life as you can see in pictures. Went to partial wakelocks and saw email at 30seconds but there are only like 45 secs of partial wakelocks so not that big of a deal. Noticed that better battery stats said my phone was awake for almost an hour (I was on it for 10 minutes looking at stuff which is why the screen on pic saus about 10 minutes, the screen wasn't on at all from unplug to me waking up). Noticed under kernal lock that something was keeping stuff on for almost an hour.
So why on earth was my phone on for almost an hour of the 8 hours i was asleep? Further, why does my battery drain look like it was pretty consistent over that time even though the phone was on for an hour. It makes me think that it continuously must be turning itself back on. I know that wifi is the problem for some people but I figured that I would be able to see that in partial wakelocks yet it isn't there. I can try changing wifi stuff if some sees something showing that it is wifi issues.
Otherwise, maybe i should return the phone???
So , I would say that the main issue is your mail service process. It woke up 184 times, every time it wakes its going to keep the phone awake for a little before the phone completely goes back to sleep. it is work related i assume?

yes that mail account is work and there is an account for my school. It is the email apk that bypasses security that plenty of other people are running. Do you think that it is an account issue or the Email.apk? So the 180 wake ups only totaled for 30 something seconds of partial wakelock. Is it not showing upas a partial wakelock and that is why the phone says that it was on for so long?
also, I read that something having to do with wifi and the qcom_rx_wakelock cause severe battery drain. Know anything about that.
So, yes, the app only worked for 33 seconds because each wakelock probably required only a few milliseconds to do what it needed to do.. but the phone does not go to sleep instantly after each wakelock. so for each of the 184 times that app woke your phone up, it was "awake" for 5-15 seconds or however long it takes the phone to decide its time to go to sleep again. Awake time for me is almost always a function of screen time, like 1.5x - 2x my screen time.

so any idea on a solution besides setting up for my email to only check every half hour. It is set to push right now. Given I don't need it at night really and i can set something up to change when it is allowed to check for emails. But sometimes I am up at 2 because I get an email that requires me to do work. Also, the qcom_rx_wakelock that kept m phone on for 32 minutes or something doesn't seem to have to do with the email. But maybe when the email tries to access the internet that wakelock runs to try to get wifi...
edit: I did more research on the qcom_rx_wakelock. I still don't understand it all but it is some issue that the 4.2.2 update came with. It causes major battery drain on some wifi networks and not on some others. It has to do with the wifi connection continuously having to talk to the router and waking the phone up which is also tied to some apps that are syncing. People on nexus's have created patches that fix the issue, but I don't think I'm going to be doing anything like that. I PMd a member to try and get more information.
For now I have two routers at my house and will be switching to using the other router for my wifi connection on my phone to see if it creates the same battery draining issues while in sleep. If I get any more information I will update again. I also think this could explain a lot of the reason that some people are experiencing sub-par battery life while others are getting great battery life. Depending on what router (work, school, home, public place) you are on might make the phone constantly turn itself on and off trying to reconnect or do something with that wifi network. I know many people have had 15 to 20% battery drain overnight then turned wifi off and just stayed on 3g/4g connection and battery drain went to 4 to 5% over night. FYI
I just got the Moto X and have a few things installed. My question is, in the battery mete graph you have screen on and awake. Is the awake always supposed to be on? I'm guessing it is since it has the touchless controls always listening.
Figured why it won't go to sleep. Has anyone ever had it where the phone app gets stuck and stays awake? Only way to get rid of it for me is to reboot.

T700 Tab S Standby Time!

My Tablet lasts 2 days before its totally dead with ZERO USE!
Updated to 5.0.2 as i hoped this would fix it. No change
Lost 10% battery while in power saver mode in a few hours!
Lags all over the place when scrolling, the play store is horrible when scrolling apps.
Right now my S6 has better standby on 4G and more life in use than my tablet has with no use!
Any ideas?
Can't speak for Lollipop, since staying with 4.4.2 and disabled auto updates. I only lose 2% in ten hours and the best Android tablet I have owned- especially in regards to low sleep bleed.
clearly something is not right have you factory reset it? That would be the first thing to make sure no apps are doing anything weird.
I flashed a whole new OS... should i wipe it?
You need to install a wake-lock checker, it will show how much time your tablet is actually in deep sleep mode, which uses the least amount of power, mine shows 97% time in deep sleep.
Some application can keep you tablet from going to sleep, alarm clock and sync can also, and apps/software you downloaded.
Do you get still get major battery drain after a reset, dont install any software/apps and the charge to 100% and then leve it for a few hours and then check how much power you have lost.
John.
Over an 8 hour period (avg) with wifi on, my screen brightness set to 10-20 range (that is the brightness I prefer on my tab s), and with greenify I lose maybe 1-2% battery. You definitely have some program or service constantly running or waking up your tablet, and due to the interactive governor that samsung uses your tablet wakes up at 1.9GHz each time to be more responsive/save battery by handling what ever is needed as fast as possible so it can sleep again. Unfortunatly if some app keeps going "hey, hey, I am here, I need you tablet, hey, hey, ect........." that battery saving governor will murder your battery.
So i wiped and its still 48 hour batter!

Do you need to have your wifi and sync on for business or something, if not turn them off, of use an app to to mange them like the free juice defender ect.
Just install it, make sure it is enabled and then make sure the icon is on your taskbar so it has not been killed, and them forget about it for a week and see how it goes.

for some reason on this tablet, wifi murders battery in standby. if you turn it off it lasts much better... but this tablet and this tablet only, leaving wifi on kills it horribly. but problem is, when you wake it for teh first time in hours and wifi activates, all of a sudden everything syncs and it's so damn laggy those first few minutes of use. it sucks. only this tablet. never had this issue with my nexus 7. that thing gave me 7 days stand-by time.

Try putting your tablet in airplane more overnight and see how much power it consumes. I lose 3% over 8 hours when I put it on airplane mode and disable wifi.
Im sorry but this is BS.
Its clearly faulty. its going to samsung. i demand a refund.
How much power wifi uses depends on the distance to the router and how much interference it has to try and break though to get a good connection which means using more power, that is why wifi uses more battery power on some peoples tablets than others do.
John.
disregard.. just realized my screen shots were messed up. I'll post my standby time tomorrow.
Here is a very simple stock no root mini guide to getting 1-5% loss over an 8-10 hour period while sleeping or at least while the tablet is asleep.
1. Install greenify even if you are not rooted and even if you do that have the donor package there are many many apps that do not like to sleep, greenify will fix that for you.
2. Unless you are a Doctor, CEO, or someone whose very life hangs on getting the latest cute cat post while you are asleep try to adjust your sync times from under an hour to as high as you can. (If you are turning off wifi then it might still matter if the app wakes up your device just to see it can't sync)
3. Samsung has given you a very nice QHD screen. It is high resolution, Amoled, and other nice rhings but while you sleep you can not see it so turn the brightness down before you touch the power button to 5-15. If you wake up in a dark room and need to use your tablet that level of brightness is far kinder to your eyes and even kinder to your battery.
Just doing this generally kept my battery usage down to only 2-4% per night, of course then I rooted my tablet and installed TW detox 3.0 and now it is closer to 1-2% per night. Try any or all of these and I hope it works out.

losing 48% per day... screen brightness wont help will it when screen is off all day
Screen brightness is for those times that an app wakes up the tablet and turns on the screen to tell you something (new email, facebook wall post, new cat video, ect....) and yes it helps.
If you are losing 48% a day then you have some app doing something that is keeping your tablet awake for a good portion of the day. Or you have a defective battery/tablet. I can surf the web for a good portion of the day and maybe lose 48%.

Are you rooted. It's sounds like you have some wakelocks? If rooted you should use greenify and a wakelock alarm to fix the problem.
i'm curious to see what apps and how many you have installed. Can you post screen shots of your app drawer?

Note 5 bad battery life gsam?

Hey guys , i am using this phone for the last one week and so far i am not impressed with its battery life.its almost similar to my xperia z1.
I lost over 24% battery in the past 2 hours just listening to music and surfing a bit.
Please have a look at my gsam screenshot and tell me if something is wrong.
Any help will be really appreciated.
Thank you.
Friend, take sshot from you apps usage and screen. Add sshot from stock battery manager too.
Thanks for your interest in my post.
I have attached the necessary screenshots.
I was having 3-3.5 hours of sot with my 2 years old xperia z1 and almost same with my note5 .
Not happy at all.
Today i left my phone at 41% went to lunch and returned after 90 mins and found battery left is 30% doing absolutely nothing.
Just taking the sshots and posting it here used 4% battery!!!!
Is something wrong?
11pm to 7pm off charge....looks fine to me!
I come off charge at 6am and it generally lasts to 8/9pm without a mid day charge.
Your screen is a big hog. Is brightness set too high constantly?
I don't play games but you clearly do - clash of clans....again another drain.
Big screen = big battery usage!
I've resorted to plugging mine in while I'm sat at my desk for a few mins here and there.
MM is poor though. The deep sleep / doze seems to work randomly.

Yeah i get your point
Brightness is about40% and i do play coc frequently
But my concern is suddenbattery drain. 11 % drain during lunch doing nothing and now 3% drain just opening xda and replying to your comment
Is that normal?
Also screen awake is almost 2 hours doesnt seem like doze is working
Check any apps you've recently installed....or start in safe mode and see if the problem continues.
Clear cache....
I've set up a greenify process - when I tap the home key on the home screen it puts it into deep sleep. I don't think MM doze works very reliably. Also my screen is at about 20%. Can easily whack it up when you go outside temporarily.

I have used 2 full days with just whatsapp and stock apps installed still the problem persists.
Please look at the sshot ,2 hr 14 min sot is absolutely ridiculous
Try the following:
- Uninstall Facebook
- Amplify
- Greenify
Has helped my Note-5 battery life greatly.

An App to control how often your wakelock & alarms fire off - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryansteckler.nlpunbounce
Also, worthwhile alternative = Servicely (need to be rooted) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.servicely
Try de-bloat script too by Battlehero.
Its funny how you and i used to own a z1 lol what a coincident. Anyways i think i commented about your battery life before. Regarding to the amplify im mot sure if op has root. I suggest you not to root if you want to exchange it saying its a defective battery.if not then go for it root it and see if it will change your battery stats. Pretty normal things to do is factory reset , boot in safe mode, maybe reflash firmware through odin and check any mysterious apps draining battery. Also maybe try greenify non root way for afressive doze. It shortens the time needed before going into doze mode. Im currently testing it right now.
