[Q] what is wrong in this picture??? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

guys... can someone tell me what is wrong with this picture???
i've got an issue that has been niggling me for the past few weeks now but i couldn't find the time to look into it until last night.
i remember unplugging my note last night at about midnight and battery is at 100% and this morning when i woke up at 9am i saw that it is only at 73%.. what the???
what prevents the phone from going into deep sleep? i only started noticing this after i rooted the phone (am on stock GB) and installed TB.
prior to root i usually lose about 4-7% only overnight which i thought was quite great.. i can't remember if i changed any settings at all that maybe causing/preventing the phone to go into deep sleep...
can anyone tell me how to fix this??

Facebook.......Facebook app has been coded such a way that cpu is still awake so that it could communicate to the server all time and recieve notification.Had the same problem.Removing the app fixed it for me.

do i need to totally remove the app or just logging out would do??
i've had facebook eversince and prior to my root i only lose less than 10% overnight...
i'll try it out and let you know...

[Q] Suddenly Nexus battery drains quickly

Hello all.
I bought a Nexus One in at the beginning of the year. It's not rooted and I've had no problems from it till this month. I can not say the timing is exactly this, but it seems the battery issues started just after the FRG83D upgrade. I am accustomed to using my phone for most of the day before it needs to be charged. 12 hours or more with moderate use. Since around the FRG83D update my battery is about dead in around 4 or 5 hours. I haven't changed any settings or gotten any new apps or anything for quite some time.
For example, Friday night I charged my phone to 100% and then unplugged it (to plug in my girlfriends phone) and went to bed (about midnight). At 5:15am my alarm went off, i glanced at my phone and found the batter was at 10%!! the phone had been sitting there doing nothing all night with the screen off. I checked the battery use screen and it showed cell standby and AKMD taking up all the battery (55% and 35% respectively). I should mention that I have full signal where I am and have never had an issue. I cut off the screen rotate in the settings just in case that was part of it (AKMD being the gsensor i believe).
At next full charge that day i noticed the same problem, after being at 100% my battery was down to 10% after about 5 hours, almost the entire time I didn't use the phone. This time "display" was the largest percent by far (followed by cell standby), but clicking it showed only 15 minutes of use time for the display as I had purposefully not messed with the phone much.
Last night I had to be out and a bout so I decided to test things again. Charged full and cut airplane mode on. about 4 hours later my phone was down to 20ish percent, the only use of the phone being me looking at the charge level a couple times through the night.
I installed "spare parts" app and it shows my battery as being in good health and such but who knows how reliable that is.
Anyone else having similar issues? Any suggested remediation measures? I'm considering flashing the phone and reinstalling apps and such but would rather avoid that having never done that before and not having a desire to deal with setting everything back the way I have it.
Don't know if it matters but I run LauncherPRO and I do use the friends widget but it's never seemed to really cause battery issues before. I also run the news/weather widget, but again, no previous problems.
Any help would be great
Thanks!
In the spare parts app check partial wake usage. See if any apps are not letting your phone sleep.
nothing stands out other than UID 10073 which is handcent. currently my phone is charging but I'll pop it off the charger soon and watch the battery drop time again. I should note that inbetween all the tests so far i've rebooted the device so hanging apps of any kind should be killed off...
What ROM are you using?
Are you using Extended Controls? There is an issue with that and FRG83D. Uninstall it until the dev sorts it out.
yeah i am using extended controls. i'll take it off and see what happens.
Me too
I Have exactly the same issue, also have extended controls. Uninstalled and waiting to see if that works.
Cheers for the suggestion.
That did the trick! Loss like extended controls was the problem. A shame as i really like that app. Will hope they update and fix soon. Thanks!

Extended controls updated!
Yup, uninstalling fixed it for me too. Haven't seen the update though. I remember seeing an update yesterday, but I had this issue with that update so that did not fix it for me. Hope they update it again soon

I think it was updated again today. Now v5.03, and it seems to work properly.
So nobody saw Extended Controls showing up in Spare Parts, System Panel or other such programs?

Battery drop?

I was playing TripleTown a very addicting game once you figure out exactly what you're suppose to do and my phone went completly un-responsive (couldn't even turn off the screen) so I had to wait then my screen shuts off me thinking the screen finally timed out but it had shut down then finally rebooted and I see my battery level went from 70% to 40% (as indicated in the picture) anybody know why this could of happened?
Oh, this is on GV 2.0

Mine did this the other day when it froze after a phone call. Mine dropped from about 65% to 4%. I rebooted it and it jumped back up.

Sadly, mine didn't go back to normal once I rebooted thankfully I didn't need my phone for anything important.
Hmm... Not sure then. Are you on GV or updated to ZV8?

GV tempted to go to ZV8 but not sure if I should take the time and steps to update to ZV8 and re-root and re-add CWM
Loooks like this is happening to everyone recently all at once. Its creating problems...
I had the same issue while surfing the web last week. Not sure why it happened.
I had this happen earlier today. An in progress call froze, phone said battery was dead. I power cycled and had 68% remaining. Anyone know what is causing this?
I have also been having this problem. For me it showed up along with many other bugs in the ZV8 update. I had never had the problem before then.
EDIT:
I forgot to mention that the issue seems to have subsided after a factory reset. I haven't spent much time on the phone post-reset, but since I haven't seen the issue yet, it seems to have improved. I wouldn't recommend that kind of hassle to anyone unless it became a huge problem for them.

Help me solving some processes that occur on my Note

Hello guys. I'm having some problems with the processes that comes on my Note. Last night i've charged my phone and before i went to bed it was 100%, i've unplugged it and use it for 15mins and battery dropped to 97%. Then i closed recent apps, lock it and went to bed (about 2:30am). This morning when i woke up (about 11:00 am) i looked at the phone and it was 88%. Some processes have an important wakelock time and don't know anything about them. I will post few screenshots here so someone more experienced than me with android can tell me what to do.
This is not happening everytime when i unplug my phone from charger. For example a night before i went to sleep with 42% and when i woke up it was still at 42%.
I only have an Android device for about 2 weeks, before that i was an iOS user that decided to change something. So i don't know many things about Android. Thank you for forum and the support ur offering to us.
I think you dont have any problem

I don't see any problem in your screenshots either.
However, since your are on ICS 4.0.3 think about taking your phone
to the homescreen before plugging or unplugging the charger, to avoid
a wakelock problem. Or upgrade to 4.0.4
Yup looks fine to me

Solved 30% battery drainage overnight!

Ok,i have had this phone for 2 months now and i was quiet satisfied with the battery since i'm not a heavy user...was getting easily 2 days of moderate usage...
Overnight(6-8hours) my phone was draining only between 3-5% , but since 5 days ago its draining over 30%...last night i left it on 87% and this morning when i woke up it was at 54%...its giving me a big headache since i didnt change my average usage in the last 5 days to get this dramatically change in battery....
So,im asking a help...i did 3 things in past 5 days and maybe some of them could be the problem,so here it goes:
1.i installed Dropbox app and downloaded some music(mp3),books(pdf) and a movie through that app(i disabled the auto-upload and on application manager i dont see this app running at all)
2.i started to make a google wallet account to buy some apps,but in midway i cancelled it since i didnt wanted to add my working credit card in case of theft...im going to get another visa card just for google with limited funds
3.maybe those pdf books from my PC could be infected with virus??
I'm desperate to get it back what it used to be so any suggestions would be really appreciated...And last 2 days i have cut down the data usage to zero,dont use 3g or edge nor the wifi at all just to be sure its not from them...
One thing i noticed today is that in the settings>battery the Android OS has spiked to 42% of usage and it used to be 20-22%
Thank you
Root and instal benzrom v3
30% over night sounds like it doesn't go to deepsleep at all..
Try install betterbatterystats and see if you can see whats going on.
Some of the features require root, but most important features should work.
Ok,after uninstalling Dropbox and rebooting, my phone seems to come back to normal...after i woke up this morning(8 hours of sleep),my phone has drained only 4%,so i guess that app was keeping my phone awake...
strange though,that app has over 50milion downloads and i didnt see anyone to mention battery drainage...i also disabled the auto-upload function,force stopped the app (he wasnt showing in the running apps under application manager).so dont understand why he was working on the backround...
anyways seem ok now,battery back to normal...now if i can only find where is the option to make this thread into "Solved"

Android OS staying awake 6 hours +

I am stock. Not rooted.
I have restored the phone to factory settings thinking it will help it. But it hasn't.
I have tried the completely stock and immediately the Android os was keeping phone awake. Then I started disabling Verizon apps, unnecessary g9ogle apps and still I have the os keeping phone awake about 6-7 hours per charge.
What should I do? I've dealt with this on my old nexus 4 and haven't been able to figure out why Android phones are plaged with this Android os wakelock.
I believe this all started when I got the 25b ota. After that I've done a factory restore. I don't have Verizon so I'm not getting any more ota for 26A. Is there a way I can manually flash the newer rom?
No answer for you, but just wanted you to know my battery life with the last 4.4 upgrade just the other day is now miserable. Can not make it a day. Use to be able to get like 2 days. Thinking about just selling the phone, and buying something new cause of it.

Have it installed.. even installed greenify yesterday to see if that helps.. Wiped some of one of the batteries average length per charge and started it fresh today, so I am going to chase it down I hope. Battery shows it's Android. Note 4 anyone? Have to pay full price for it though, can't justify 700 bucks. But I do have a trip coming up where I have to be gone for 2 weeks.. so maybe then?

Let it sit for about 30 mins with the screen off untouched, see if it's going into deep sleep, report back your findings under partial and kernel wakelocks also.

See if this is what you meant...if not a nudge into the place to look would help me..
Looking at the second set of shots, are you on a public/work wifi network? The wlan wakes are what's keeping your phone from sleeping. That can be caused by things like DHCP queries from the network waking it up, etc.. My battery life takes a hit when I use our open network at work, constantly woken up by the wireless lan.
Are you having the same issues off wifi?

Yeah, I normally don't run wifi. I just happened to turn it on today at work. I can let it sit for another 30 mins or so and do the same thing. Phone is at 57% screen on time of 1 hour, I use to get at least 4-5 a while back.
Add me to the list.. I'm stock and after the update a few weeks ago this turd heats up lots, freezes, re-draws home screens VERY slowly, Swype effs up badly now and my battery life is literally about cut in half. This is all after a factory reset after taking the update.

Rooted?
Hotspot Hack?
My buddy claims to not have a problem with his, completely stock. Mine is rooted and has the hotspot hack.

...as I said, I'm stock. My wife has the same phone and hers has no problem, or so she claims. However, her phone is nothing more than a window into the world of Pintrest and Facebook whereas I actually use my device constructively.
I just took the plunge, flashed back to 24a, re rooted, upgrade to 26a, and now it is much better.
Tried to post a pic.. but it is too annoying
26h 20min battery usage,
@24%
screen on time of 3hours.
That is much more in line in what I got when it was new.
So just running it all the way down, 33.5hours of usage @ 5% battery left, 3.5 hours of screen on time.
Much better.
I'll try to grab the battery pics, since I know no one will believe it..
You might want to fresh flash.. not sure what got messed up.. or if it was an app. Even though it was listed as Android system stuff.

Which application do you use to track battery usage?

Pretty sure I was just using the stock battery tracker at the time.
