Hi Folks, I hve had my note for 1 year now and haven't had any battery problems until 2 days ago when I flashed a jb rom. All was fine for about 10 hours when I started to recharge the battery again that went fine, charged to 100% and unplugged, the phone said it was at 100%. After another few hours the phone cut out, no warning just cut out. I could get the phone back on but only when plugged into the charger. So, heres my problem, phone says battery is fully charged but when I unplug the charger it cuts out now. if I boot in to recovery with out the charger it stays on for hours. if I try to start the phone up normally with out charger it doesn't work. I have tried another battery again it started fine for almost a day then the same problems again. I have tried several kernels and roms in case it was one of those that was causing the problem but its the same every time. Im not a newb when it comes to flashing roms some im 100% sure its all ok in that department. any help would be appreciated.
thanks
Graham
My note is also about 10 months old. I want to know if my battery stats. I feel like my phone is giving me short time.
My question is do i need a replacement with these stats????

What really matters here is your screen on time (I can get around 4h30 with heavy use). I also see you have a few notifications so there might be some draining apps running in the background (like that *** Facebook app which is constantly running in the background even with notifications off). In any case BBS should help you identify the "rogue" app (if any). Also I don't use Google Now as it's kind of a battery killer.
this problem is same with me...after 1 year use gnote
and this is battery problem..i dont know whats is causing it...
i try to enter recovery mode and ..battery is good..almost 4 hours screen on recovery mode
but if I try to start the phone up normally phone is reboot after 1minute in homescreen android
trying with different rom jb ..same problem ..
after replace my battery ..problem is gone..
@strachg If the phone used to work well before you flashed JB I'd recommend going back to ICS to see if the problem persists. If it disappears the reason is JB which would not supprise me since all JB roms for the Note are not really bug free. If the phone continues to behave like you described and changing the battery does not help either I'd say it's a hardware failure.

Hi, Yeah I already tried going back to ics and it was just the same, it just seems like a bit of coincidence and really annoying lol. The only thing I can think off that is causing it is as you say that its a hardware fault and it must be overcharging the battery and breaking it. If it was JB that was causing it im sure I wouldn't have been the only one by now.
thanks
Graham
how did you install jb? Was it clean on safe kernel? You havent eliminated the possibility of software issues.
Qazibazit, it looks ok.
Guideline 3,5-4,5 hours on screen time is normal (if you play games can be less, thus is from full to 1%). Total standby time, usually more then 24 hours is normal.
If you have a lot less, go read ahalfords sticky on wakelocks. All you need to know to optimize battery.

Hi baz 77 yeah using safe kernel, tried a few actually. And using utackas. Version of paranoid android now again tried a few Roms. Everything was wiped and redone the process about 20 times. I looked through all the roms. And kernel threads and no one has had this problem. New battery coming so will see how it goes now.

yep thats pretty definitive, at least if all those roms are not having same base and thus posibly same issues.
Your new battery will improve your experience quite a bit if its a good one!
Have fun with it and let us know if it worked for you

I'm baffled and trying my very best to work out why I'm getting the BSOD on this phone. There appears to be no logic or pattern to when it occurs, so it's very difficult to diagnose what's causing it. I've now had two of these phones where it has occurred. The first one I took back and got a replacement under warranty. The second one worked like a charm on stock GB with no flashing of basebands, but since messing about and installing both CM10 and the latest ICS ROMS it's started happening again.
It seems to occur most when I go to charge the phone. It'll just die a death and I'll have to take the battery out before it even thinks about starting up again. Perhaps the most annoying thing of all is that it resets all time and dates and will then fail to use the network provided settings.
Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution that works long term? What about the cause? The strange thing about it is that it can go for a week without doing it...then, it'll happen twice in one day. And it's getting frequent to the point of being very irritating. I'm wondering If a different baseband would help. It currently detects it as unknown, but if memory serves I flashed the old 528 original stock baseband for use when I first installed CM10.
I have experienced it in every rom (I have experienced it in: cm10, all GB roms Ive tried, all ICS roms etc..) but not in cm 7 ... so I usually go back to that rom most of the time..
What baseband are you using? Whether or not it has anything to do with it I don't know. Desperately trying to find a fix. I'm thinking it can't be a rom issue. I'm just hoping it's not the phones hardware.

The worst thing is don't know how we carry cm10 bugs after flashing over different roms even with full wipe..I lost my amazing battery life after cm10 flash got new battery calibrated food full wow did smart flash still battery life drains like in 10% in hour even without any use....gross
This bug has been reported in the CM10 Bug Thread, you should take a look at it.
Basically the workaround is to turn on your screen before plugging the phone to a charger. There are users saying that they also have a lot of BSOD's when plugging the phone in CM10.
Don;t you think that questions has its own thread? Hope your eyes are still in good condition.
To prevent BSOD you can try hihger min cpu clock frequency.

You seem to be in a foul mood lately, passing such comments on all threads.
And for your info, increasing min cpu clock frequency has no effect on cm10 bsod. It may work in some roms, but not on this one.

Dude if you read my post im saying it occurs whether cm 10 or not. Changing clock frequency did nothing for me so thanks for pointing out the obvious. Like i say, it's a problem I've always had with this phone whether I was on stock gb or not and im getting sick of it. I just wondered if anyone knew the reason and a sure, concrete solution.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app
I am on CM10, and I never get random BSODs. I am on the 11/20 nightly.
For me, the one and only time a BSOD occurs is if my screen is off, and I plug in the charger (USB or wall), and the charger doesn't cause the screen to turn on automatically. If the screen turns on the moment the charger is plugged in, I won't get a BSOD.
My "solution" at the moment is to always turn on the screen before plugging in my charger. No more BSODs.
I used to get random BSODs even off the charger on earlier nightlies, but after 11/10 it was all right.
Mine is just the opposite....whenever i dont have it charging the bsod will appear sooner or later if its plugged in everything is ok...i tried changing min freq and clean installed all cm 10 nightlies so far but nothing has helped.

Same here with CM10, and some days worse than others. Although weirdly it was exactly the opposite with stock GB or CM7 - it would do it mostly while charging.
See this is my point.. Just how many folk are having this problem with the device? I might contact LG support to see if it's a known issue. I have it both whilst charging and not whilst charging. A Google of the topic does support a fair number of everyday stock users as having this issue. I just don't think it's a rom specific issue. The occurance is so spasmodic I think it's simply coincidental.

Same here. With CM7, very, very rarely would the phone just "die" with a black screen when charging. If I had it plugged in via USB to my computer and then immediately plugged into the wall charger, it would almost always BSOD. The only way to recover was to unplug it, pull out and re-insert the battery. This happened so rarely (especially if I always rebooted the phone after using USB) that it wasn't a problem for me.
With CM10, it will instead BSOD if it's just left idle with nothing connected. This happens 0 to 10 times a day with no logical pattern. Some days, I almost think the problem is gone, others the phone is almost unusable because it keeps dying. It has never had a BSOD while charging. This has happend with every nightly build of CM10. I've also had the problem where the caller/person I call just hears "dialup modem" type noise.
Monday evening I flashed SU660 V30c baseband. Still no BSOD as of today (noon on Wednesday). However it has gone this long without BSOD before, so fingers crossed. I have a "Made in Korea" P990 and it previously had Baseband 20I-EUR. Also going to do a few test calls to see if the noise problem is still there.
That's very useful to know. As you say the problem is so bizarre and so random that's almost impossible to know until weeks later if it's been solved for good. I just hope that final ics and baseband release will put the issue to bed once and for all. Can anyone confirm whether or not they have had this issue with the latest leaked ics baseband?
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app
48 hours without a BSOD after flashing BB 30C however now calls have gone completely quiet. Neither party can hear a thing.
Back to the drawing board :silly:
Is anyone else's phove really hot when BSODed or is it just mine? When I was on Gueste 3.6 everything was ok until it BSODed, that's when cm10 came out, tried it, changed a few basebands and didn't have it for almost a month, suddenly a few days ago while I already returned to default bootldr and partition sizes on gueste 3.8ext3 with v28g bb I think (20121110)

I think BSODs occur when the relationship between rom, kernel and baseband is not so good.
Yes it appears to be that way. Unfortunately we don't have a BB for the P990 that works properly with ICS/JB ROM (call audio bugs etc.), which is why development of CM10 for P990 was abandoned. I'm now back on CM 7.2 and everything works as it should.
Hi there!
Ok so recently my Cappy has decided its going to be screwy. For some reason if I plug it in to charge, it doesn't charge, instead I get a battery drain 5-7% within about 20 mins. I've tried 5 different cables (Zip cord, walmart one, random ones I found/borrowed, one staright plug in one not usb) and 5 different chargers (car/wall plugin hybrid, apple wall charge two different computers.) and its all the same result. I can still use it as a USB no problem, moved some files around and removed and added soem photos no problem. There is no issue with the port itself (on the outside) my cover snapped off but I make sure to keep it clean.
I also have no odd battery draining I can usually get about 12-14 hours out of it. No out of place wakelocks, no apps running wild, and all my backups are on the cloud or on my laptop. Only thing I could think this is is a hardware issue. That or its just time to get a new phone. Thankfully I have an external battery charger and I've just been switching out batteries.
Any thoughts?

My guess is that you need a new battery.
Does it show the charging animation? Also, when plugged to the pc, does fast charge help at all?
Does it charge when the phone is turned off?

That's just it, I bought 2 new batteries, RavPower ones. They work great and last forever when I charge. My original battery and my cheap one off ebay do the same.
And yes it shows the charging thing, by battery monitor says it's charging and shows the different kinds like a/c or usb, everything acts as it should just no charging.
I have never tried the fast charge, I forgot I even had that. I'll give it a shot.

Also are you OC'ing or changing the Voltages? Probably won't make a difference in this issue but worth looking into. My Cappy refuses to OC at all, even at 102% it starts to act weird (System UI crashes sometimes, I lose signal, etc).

I actually have mine stable at 110% still don't know how lol. Cappys seem to be very picky. I'll try turning it back down.
Also fast charge didn't change anything sadly. 2% lost in about 6mins. It was sitting on my bed doing nothing l

Apparently Samsung's hardware consistency control was lacking when the Captivate was made, so that's why they're so picky, which sucks for any kind of troubleshooting or development.
I wish I could get my Cappy to 110%. But try turning it back to 100% see if that changes anything. Also does this happen on multiple ROMs or just the one you're currently on (probably not the issue but hey I've seen weirder).

Got it, off-topic but any reason you haven't gone to Slim build 4? I saw slight improvement in performance on my Cappy. Was my daily driver until this morning when I flashed C-Rom v16, which for me is as fast. Just trying to get used to how big everything is compared to Slim, I liked being able to read about 7-8 messages in the messaging app, but now I can only see about 3 lol.

Sorry x3 was a smiley not a build number, I'm on 4.2.
Anyways! I let my phone charge while off for about an hour. It was at 49% turned it back on and it was at 23% see what I mean? That's a crazy amount of juice.
Also, yeah I did play around with some other ROMs and I hated how big they all are, I like how small everything is on Slim. It just works better for me. X3

I'll try not to use it so you don't get confused. Its just habit.
I don't either. I really did see much on hardware issues that would drain it like this. I really am stumped by this.
And recently I did flash back to stock and work my way back up to Slim to see if it would help and it didn't. I didn't think to see if it would charge on stock or CM 10 but if it really came down to it I guess I could flash back to stock and play with it. Only reason I don't think it's the ROM is because to my knowledge no one else is having this particular issue.
If you have anything I can do to test or provide info just ask. I'll do whatever is needed to help figure it out. And I'd really like to as I'll have this phone for a bit longer then I thought so I'd like to see it fixed

Do you have a battery charger? Like one that you just attach the battery to, to charge it. We could then see if it's your batteries (highly doubt) or your cappy (99.999% sure).
I don't really want to suggest checking with multi-meters only because the phone internals would be exposed while it's on and if you're not used to working with hardware like that you could accidentally short something etc.
Why not make a nandroid, flash to CM10, see what happens with your battery then. That way, if you ever need to go back to your current ROM you could just restore it.

Yeah I do, it's what I've been doing to keep using my phone, I've had this problem for a month now. I think.
It was suggested I open up the phone and check the charge port, make sure it's clean, that kinda stuff but I don't want to do that unless I'm absolutely 100% sure it's not something else.
Wouldn't hurt. I'll go try it. Thanks for being so helpful. :3

Huzzah! Well, I got CM loaded, did a full wipe too. Everything looks so big. I'll report back in an hour or two. :3
EDIT
And its charging!
I guess it is in fact the ROM. Dang. I wonder why?
I'm going to see if I can get this to charge fully before bringing it to the SlimBean thread. Just to be extra sure.
EDIT
It seems to get to around 30% (31% as of now) and it just stops. It won't charge any higher. Been like that for about 45 mins.
And EDIT again. x3
Ok so I (still on CM10) couldn't get it go charge past 30% so I decided, I'm gonna poke around and I thought back on the fast charge, I wondered if it had an app, I managed to find one (Fast Battery Charging x2) and ITS CHARGING! I downloaded another app before this called Battery Mix, I love it as it has awesome battery graphs, anyways before I used Fast Battery Charging x2 it (Battery Mix) didn't have any stats on how long it would take to charge, now it does, says about 3 hrs to full, so we shall see where it goes. I don't know how the app works but I will wait and see. If this works I'll hop back to Slim and see if I can't make it work there. I don't know if it will though.
EDIT:
Got to 100%, going to flash back to Slim and see if I can't get it to charge there with the setup in CM 10 I have now, if I doesn't then I guess it must be Slim?
Edit!
Alright so back to Slim and the best I could muster is to keep my battery level the same over night. I tried using the phone for a bit and the battery drain happened again. Overnight I had nothing installed aside from gapps.
Hm...So CM10 w/ fast charge seemed to work, but when you went back to Slim the problem re-appeared? That's extremely odd. I reverted back to Slim 4.2 when C-Rom v16 was slowing down, just dirty restored and charging isn't an issue. Have you tried C-Rom v16? It's based off of Slim Rom I think.
Try it I guess, lets see if it's any other custom CM10 based ROMs. This seems like such an odd issue...

Yeah, C-Rom worked great. Charged and everything. I ended up going back to Slim due to my power button being stupid again. It goes in and out and I couldn't find an option to do volume rocker wake on C-Rom so I switched back to Slim.
Its the weirdest thing. I don't even care about fixing it anymore as just figuring out the puzzle. X3

Haha, I share that feeling. Once something is wrong and I can't figure it out, it's not even about fixing it so much as knowing WHAT was wrong. Not sure if those settings are also available on the new ROM I'm trying now (GamerzROM, oddly enough I was going to port it for the captivate this weekend but I guess the devs beat me too it). If I see them while I'm playing around today I'll shoot you a PM.
But the fact that C-ROM works great, even though it's built off Slim (I think), puzzles me completely. Have you tried any other version of Slim?

Dear People of XDA,
I have this issue since a few days and I don't know how to solve it. My battery drains out after 10 min while using wifi and the phone will shut down of course. Leaving it for about an hours time, some power will be regained and I can continue using my device. It all started when I reverted back to stock ICS from cm 10.1. I thought flashing Carburano's ROM might help but apparently not, same problem. I know batterys don't always go nuts but when they do, it's progressive. Any one know what might be wrong?

Use the better battery stats app and check which app running in the background is draining your battery without allowing the device going into sleep....
but if the drain is like what you have described....then it is time to move on to another battery....
just a word.....Kernel is something (other things being Baseband) which takes care of the battery performance....so maybe you can try changing this and check which one suits you well.
CHECK IN THE FORUM TO FIND INFO ABOUT APPS LIKE GREENIFY...
Hope this helps you

Dear People of XDA,
I have this issue since a few days and I don't know how to solve it. My battery drains out after 10 min while using wifi and the phone will shut down of course. Leaving it for about an hours time, some power will be regained and I can continue using my device. It all started when I reverted back to stock ICS from cm 10.1. I thought flashing Carburano's ROM might help but apparently not, same problem. I know batterys don't always go nuts but when they do, it's progressive. Any one know what might be wrong?
Regards....

Thinking it like this: the phone probably can drain a fully charged battery in 10 minutes if you turn on every major component, like vibration, flash, display to 100%, gps, wifi, 3G and what else... But having just wifi on and getting a phone shutdown in 10 min seems excessive. This would suggest your battery is not charging properly. This can result from end-of-lifetime battery only charging to some 10-25% of original capacity, broken charger, battery self-discharge and probably some other reasons I could not think of right now.
The best solution, most likely, is to replace your battery (like SREEPRAJAY above already suggested), but if you like to troubleshoot you could try to charge your phone via USB to reduce the charging current (Li-ion batteries show a lower voltage during charging with lower charge current until 100% is reached). This way you may be able to charge to higher capacity. Also, it may hint that some kernel might work better for you, but I'm not sure about this, since I don't remember what part of Android (SW, charger HW or what) handles the charging logic, i.e. what triggers the charging actually to stop.
Thanks...I'll try the suggestions

well maybe your battery isn't so good anymore or you must try also other roms like jelly cream and those kind of roms and if you wanna know the rom slimbean and cm10.2 from tonyp are also pretty smooth and battery saving but cm10.2 is sadly not working camera still but further it's damm good
Hi I have experienced some issues with battery draining, when I check battery stats it says that most of the battery is drained from Android . media. Service... I have no idea how to work out or disable whatsoever is using those services.. Btw I'm on cm10.1 latest nightly

My note switches off suddenly with a white pixelated screen.Sometimes it starts after removing and keeping the battery again but sometimes it won't start at all.one month back I have given in mobile shop and he told me that it is some hardware issue.He charged 1000 for that.For few days it was normal and it started again now.What might be the problem ?? I'll post screenshots of the mobile at the time it strucks
Try an alternative battery.

He didn't say BUY a NEW battery. He said TRY an ALTERNATIVE battery.
How often does it switch off? If it's often then you could try leaving it in recovery mode to see if it does it there...

Recovery mode does not use much resources. So it will be hard to tell.

I have a 2 month old original battery in my note. I noticed screen flickering a week ago which is a sure sign the battery is past its prime.
Still, some questions:
Have you dropped this phone?
Are you still running stock android? root?
Did you overclock / undervolt anything?
How often is this happening?
Is the phone hot when this happens?
Ofcourse,I've dropped it many times.I think problem also because of that droppings only.Running on stock firmware.No overclock.Can't say how often....The phone won't be hot but may be sometimes I feel slight hotter.

I've flickering issues in my last battery.I know how it turns off when battery is damaged.so I can say it's not battery issues.I'm thinking of hardware problem only coz of so many droppings.Can you suggest me what could be damaged coz of falling on ground....and also can I try custom rom to get rid of this....???

There is no guarantee that a custom rom can help, but it is much easier than dealing with hardware issue. Definitely should try a custom rom 4.12 to see if it helps.

Custom rom also not helping.Today it switched off completely and not switching on even.sometimes it switches on after sometime but no luck this time.so please someone suggest me,what are my options now ?and What would I do now ?

Personally, my next step would be opening it up, remove all the dust(if any) and check all connections.
If that does not help, you have a problem.
If all fails, consider maybe overvolting and/or underclocking.?
hey guys i recently did the 4.4.2 update but notice that my battery from 100 to 96 on screen within 7mins of usage. i did a factory reset but still giving me the problem. i was wondering if anyone was able to fix their battery issue after the update.
One person claimed nova launcher caused that on kitkat

That is a very common issue with Kitkat on the ATT Note 3. Custom roms have helped it, but not much. I use to get about 2 days out of my phone. I switch batteries everyday now. I have the spare battery charging system.
So we can only wait for ether the bootloader to be unlocked or for ATT to fix it.
Unrooted and can only get 18-23 hours of charge after the Kit Kat update. Before I could do 2-3 days, easily!

damn thats what my batery life use to be. I heard something about knoxraid that helps with the battery life but it sucks that we have to wait for an update.

A word to the wise, I wouldn't be mentioning KR around here. It is considered a taboo subject after what the creator did.
android core apps always used to show as the top battery culprit for me under 4.4.2 - the google search app with the cards ended up being the app i isolated for my issue and disabling it fixed my battery drain issue.
I have also read about a bug with the camera app - but I haven't consistently had that issue so I stopped restarting my phone after using the camera.
My battery life has also went down since the kitkat update. I am at 36% at 11hrs 39min and 3.5 hrs of screen time. That's not bad, but previously I would be around 50% around this time...

Whenever you charge your phone to 100% (after it got to at least 15%) unplug it and reboot right a way. That fixed the problem for me.
from the tip of my fangers...!
This helped with my note, and managing "power hungry" apps also made a big impact.
