Whilst I have been having the screen on, it shouldn't be burning this fast and it certainly didn't use to. 23 minutes on battery and 20% burned?
Did you install a new rom or new kernel? You can install an app like BetterBatteryStats to check out what might be causing this battery drain.

Stock ROM 4.0.4 and have never rooted or flashed anything on before. It is completely stock and unaltered in every way. All I've done is install apps. It just seems to have been a little bad recently. I have BetterBatteryStats on, but the it isn't wakelocks. As I said, I've got the screen on consistently so the phone will always be awake. It is just that 20% in that amount of time seems really high, even for constant use, and I swear it didn't use to be that bad. I've installed Juice Defender because it tends to be good in how it managers network and WiFi. So far, things seem to be stabilising. But, I still want to know what can cause such sharp drainage...
Do you have a lot of apps running in the background? This is most likely the cause. Brightness is a big issue also. Flash a kernal!

Check that you have Auto-brightness enabled. Also, I found that certain apps can drain battery big time. I agree with checking via a battery stats program. Maybe an APP is running in the background causing the cpu to stay at max speed?

Totally agree. Before I root my Note to delete some unuse apps from stock 4.0.4, the battery drains very fast. The most reason is some apps running in the background.
Did you change your sim recently? Sometimes the culprit is sim card.

Not fixes, but suggestions:
- An app like Green Power will stop data usage when screen off
- As others said, look into your display. My favourite app is Display Brightness as it adds an invisible slider on your screen
- For some reason, Chrome in the last week began to EAT my phone. I uninstalled it and I'm back to a blessed 1% an hour drain

Thanks for your link, really helpful for me:good:
You may have to check your battery. Will it be hot when you are using it? Look at your battery, does it look "fat"? It happened once to me before, after changing a new battery. It's fine now. It was caused by overcharging it during the night.
I experienced it on my previous phone, now im going to prove it again in my note because i changed my sim recently and now i cannot achieved the 5 hrs i had before that my original sim card, best phone can do now is 3.5 hrs. I try to contact my provider if they can restore my previous sim card and see what will happen, its just a suspect.

how can it be over charging. Doesnt it has built in function that cut-off power when charging complete. all modern chargers have that..
really would like to know cause i always charge the phone before going to sleep..

u r right..all modern chargers hv that..so, it will cut off the power when charging is complete..even I do put my Note for charging & go to sleep
So, dont worry..put your charger for charging & u can confidently go to sleep :good:
If you have network location checked and or GPS in /setting/location and security.
that's your suck battery problem.
Network location awake the phone constantly in accord with weather widget and lot apps in background that use this feature.

Hey everyone,
after flashing thousands of kernels and ROMs I finally found out what drains my battery: It's Green Power (I even bought premium...)!
This app is supposed to SAVE battery via toggling data on and off like Juice Defender but somehow it makes my CPU run mad... Has anyone else experienced this so far? I'm really upset cuz I paid money for this crappy app but I'm also glad that I found eventually out the cause of draining
Cheers!
pfff.. discovery... GreenPiss is draining my wallet, so it is logic that GreenPower will drain your battery...
I use green power premium too, but so far I haven't any problem with battery drain.
Why you think that it's the cause?

There are plenty of threads concerning battery life. Search and read. Download "cpu spy" from market so you can see if your phone goes to sleep allright.
Uninstall failbook or atleast keep it from updating every three seconds or so. Etc etc etc.
I have installed cpu but can u tell me how it works? Very confused on how to see if theirs a problem. My reboots i think are from facebook so ive deleted that app.

To use cpu spy....
Reboot your phone... Turn off the screen for few minutes... Then check deep sleep state in cpu spy.....
Has anyone tried the bigger batteries that you can get. Spotted some on eBay and amazon and wondered if they were any good.
I knot with some you get a replacement back as it increases the thickness of the phone but I don't know if this is a worthwhile trade off.

I used stunner and I used to get 2 days plus with normal battery with moderate usage. Now iam getting 1 and half day with AOKP.
For CPU spy - see if u get deep sleep.
Also chk out with Badass battery monitor which app using the most.
Lol first analyse root cause. In an hour of non activity and not on charger pecentage deep sleep should be approx 80% two hours 85-90%. Figures based on clean rom, nocrapware and no rediculious settings. Thats one, two how long does your battery last when using phone nonstop? 2.5 to 3 hours is normal. 3-4 then you know what you are doing 5 youre a guru.
Lmao
If your cpuspy figures are lower then above then with better batterystats you can find kernel and partial wakelocks. Google them and find out whats keeping your phone awake.

Depends on what you did during that period.. If the processor was running at MAX frequency the entire time, yes thus might be normal.. Also as I notice from the screenshot, the screen is always in in that time frame.. So you deduce from this

No. It's broken. You should send it to me.
Hi,
Thats an abnormal drain. Try restarting your phone and seeing if the problem persists. Also note that the ROM you are using is still under testing and not a finished product so might experience some difficulties. Consider shifting to a more stable ROM if problem persists.
Having said that, battery drain will depend quite a lot on what apps you have running in the background and your settings.
Best way to analyse the situation is by installing an app called 'Better battery stats'. Its by a XDA member and if i'm not mistaken he offers it on XDA as free download. Try to see what is causing partial wakelocks and kernel wakelocks (your phone should be on deep sleep mode for the majority of time). Try to see what MHz is your processor running at (it shouldnt be in the 1400 range for too long unless you are playing some heavy duty games)
Also try to search for threads on 'wakelocks' on XDA to get more details on this subject.
I have experienced close to 10% drop in 1.5 hr in stock ROMs and around 15% in five hours on CleanNote ROM in idle states with lots of background apps disabled.
I'm having troubles with my battery, it drains too fast! I've used battery calibration tools, I deinstalled samsung push notifications, I'm using juice defender, screen brightness is around 30-40%, but the battery still gives me about 2-3 hours of screen time, or if I don't use the phone that much, still drains to 10-20% by the end of the day. Any suggestions, please!

well,the battery problem in my case was the Dropbox app...it was keeping my phone awake all the time and the battery lasted 20-22hours tops...
i uninstalled it,restarted it and all came back to normal and by normal i mean 2 days of medium usage,sometimes even 3 days...the battery drainage overnight(6-8hours) is between 3-5% (with wifi and 3g off)...
so,im pretty new to this android world,but check out your 3rd party apps,maybe some of them is keeping your phone away from going into deepsleep when you dont use the phone...cheers
Thanks alot, how can I check when my phone goes to deepsleep?

as i mentioned im fairly new to android world, but if u got to settings>battery and click on the graphical picture,below the graphics that shows the battery usage,you will see info about GPS-on,Wi-Fi,Awake,Screen On and Charging...my guess is that "Awake" should not be full blue bar all the way, since when you dont use the phone it should not be awake all the time...
at least this was my case with my Dropbox app,but i dont know about you...if your phone was OK for some period of time then it suddenly changed its behavior,then i guess you should ask yourself which apps you have installed lately,maybe some of them is causing this...uninstall the latest apps,restart your phone and see if that changes your phone back to normal(you can always install those apps back if this doesnt solve it)...

Did you do a full wipe after the update?
Yes I did. All from the scratch. I just red that one htc one owner had similar issue and his fast boot option was off he enabled it and things got way better. so was mine off just enabled it.
Why is everyone so surprised at Android System being at the top of the new battery stats?
It makes sense really. If you don't use your phone a lot, and nothing else is running taking up power, the system is going to be at the top...
As far as an actual drop in battery life, I'd download GSM battery monitor or Better Battery Stats and check for wakelocks.

Yeah I agree, especially if you reset your battery monitoring often, it can be highly confusing and misleading to read battery usage stats. I use Du Battery Monitor which I've been happy with.
I have wakelock detector installed. And also noticed android system wakelocks on cpu wakelocks are high on the high. Higher than anything else. And this happend in the first half an hour I am on the phone. First screenshot is cpu wakelock and second is wakelock triggers.
What would you guys advice to monitor for battery usage : over what time period and what to pay attention most. My wake lock detector is on now and I will do more screenshots tonight.

Well at least your phone is going into deep sleep and doesn't look like any rogue app. You may want to Greenify facebook though.
Also look here for a battery "calibration", some say it worked for them: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43579577&postcount=36105
And don't forget you need to let your battery "settle" which takes a couple of days.

Are your network location services on or off? If they are on, try turning them all off (as well as any Google Now network location service stuff). I found that sometimes the Google services updated badly and went into a situation where the battery would drain rapidly due to constant wakelocks.

I...don't think 16 hours is terrible considering that you seem to have been doing some Youtube and PDF-reading. The percentage on that PDF viewer seems pretty high but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Facebook is obviously the biggest culprit remaining.
I would try to use Facebook in your browser instead of the app. I'm not a heavy Facebook user and don't need the notifications. It gave me a big battery boost after deinstalling the app. Facebook is constantly syncing and tracking your location, it's very batterie unfriendly
