Hi,
I've a G-Note running ICS-4.0.3 , i recently noticed my phone is getting really hot and resetting automatically at times, on closer investigation i see 'CPU spy' data showing my phone running constantly at 1400Mhz mode!!! wanting to find which process is doing this, i downloaded watchdog lite and noticed that 'System UI' process is running at 49% approx CONSTANTLY, killing it re-spwans the process!! any idea whats causing this?? Please Help!!
Not rooted, never flashed, on original upgrade, have nova launcher, use it rarely. no other launchers installed.
Restart fixes this sometimes, sometimes not.
Thanks in advance,
Ramgo.

Not that i can think of as a problem, been happening for a while now, could be any of the app! i have like 200 installed!!
Now its not system UI, its android syste, badass battery monitor shows kenel to have taken most of the battery (which seems mostly loop task, is this bad) and then android core process.

well try to remember from which app on this issue showed up.I had battery drain problem turned out it was because of an app that I had installed.So I unistalled it and my problem went away.Yours should be easy to spot try unistalling the recent apps or the ones you're suspicious of and see when you get deepsleep.
Check your battery status and see for the battery eater apps

I infact got deep sleep the whole day, 15 hrs just 10 percent drained! this problem has been occuring intermittently, deep sleep is still happenning, but when the phone is screen ON, its in the highest mode.
Hmm things got complicated.Like I said if everything used to be normal then all of a sudden this problem began then it should be an app I suppose?!Just like my case.
Install OS Monitor and see what's hogging your cpu maybe you can pinpoint the application if that's the case.
did anybody have a problem with Gsam battery monitor after it was upgraded from Badass battery monitor??? i was looking at it and was showing 100% battery drain due to application ( 0% for screen and phone radio)!! i have uninstalled it and seems fine i guess! atleast for now! charging now and its in the expected 200Mhz state.

Yes will do that!! Thanks! read my comment below, i think GSam Battery monitor submits some task or makes some query to the kernel which makes it to go in a loop, hence the android system seems to be using more CPU and not battery monitor itself
The problem is back!! HELP!!
I checked OS monitor, nothing seem to be hogging, occasionally android system, overhearting near the camera and resetting automatically, please HELP!!!

Hello,
I'm having a similar problem. When my Note is in standby sometimes it overheats without any apparent reason and battery drains very fast.
I haven't been able to trace the origin of this problem. I'm running on ICS 4.0.3 stock and no ROOT.

Have you installed any kind of launcher on your phone? If you have, do try to uninstall it for now. Install BetterBatteryStats, turn off any data connection.. 3G, Wifi, Bluetooth.. Remove any Live wallpapers(just use a static one), Uninstall any apps that connect or syncs online.
The last thing I could advice you is turn off Airplane Mode (at night), charge up your phone to 100% and just leave it for a day. Check back on BetterBatteryStats after on what apps/wakelocks is triggering the overheating.

Lot's of work... I'll have to find some time to try all of that.
Thanks.
Early last week my Note started to reboot whitout any apparent reason. It happened 2 to 3 times a day. Specially in the morning when battery was still above 60%.
The overheating also happened from time to time but not everyday.
Saturday I figured I had to do something extreme to end this.
First I downgraded to a pre-rooted GB rom. Afterwards wiped the GB rom. Then upgraded to stock ICS. Everything worked out fine and was very easy to perform, thanks to all the guides available on XDA.
Last of all I rooted the ICS.
Until now the Note hasn't overheated or rebooted again.
I really thought it would be harder to do all this. But now I think it would take me about 20 min to do all these procedures.
Thanks to all the people that posted the guides on XDA.

I'll take that as a joke.
Three days in and still no unwanted reboots or overheating.
Gents if you have nothing constructive to provide in assisting the users with real help, please refrain from off topic mindless humor. Thank you.
A week after I've re-flashed ICS on my Note, the unwanted reboots have come back.
It must be some app I've installed again or maybe something much worse. I've read lots of threads and was wondering if a custom kernel and a different ROM might solve this problem.
One thing I've noted, the reboots never happen at night only during the day (mid-morning and mid-afternoon).
Any new ideas to help me find the source of this problem?
EDIT:
I'm running on LPY Kernel, so wipe is not an option...
My missus' 4xhd is on 70% after 3.5 hours unplugged, she's looked at Facebook and on the wrb a little but nothing major. In the battery use menu it says android system 66%
Is this normal? Because my Xperia has been off charge longer and shows android system 6% massive difference there!!

I uninstalled all the games I had on my phone and battery afterwards was amazing. Not sure what games u had on ur phone but dead Trigger mass effect seemed like they used battery even if not played. Now star wars angry birds and contract Killer zombies 2 doesn't to use that much battery when not used. I think dead Trigger must be constantly be doing a task in the background. I got from 6 7 hours to 15 hours with 12% battery left. Not sure why some games in idle still or when not being played still eat the battery like crazy. So my tip is uninstall all games and see how it battery life is afterwards.

Facebook app is a battery eater, even when not in use. It's trying to sync contacts or others notifications constantly. Even when you disable those options.
Uninstall that app and use Facebook through a browser like Dolphin or so? That's what i do.
Also read the tips in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2013469
I'll post my final configuration in that thread soon. I have my phone at stand-by now for 6 hours and it's still at 100%.
I found the best way to save battery is to not use 'active/changing/moving" widgets, remove or freeze battery eating apps and underclock.

Before I didn't had any problems with Facebook (al sinc was OFF, notifications OFF, refreshing "1 hour", and no battery drain) but now,after todays update, everytime i turn it ON, the GPS starts to run. I disabled the "share location" option, everything but it still happening. The only way is to turn OFF the GPS...
Any ideas??? Cause I tried everything...

Wrong post.
Stock trega core concept is awesome but it depends on usage. As said in power Management demo, if screen is "on" and some background program is running all cores will be on, which consumed a lot of battery. And try charging your mobile only when charging falls to less than 5%
And remove it when it's fully charged. and I suggest you calibrating your battery really calibrating my battery worked a lot.
I have been vulgarly using my mobile a lot. i never faced any over consumption. Overall I am really happy with the results. of course I'm never disappointed by my battery till today. I love my 4X.

Good to note that you are happy with your battery. With 3G on, my battery does drain faster. Even overnight it goes down 7-8%. Could you explain how you calibrated your battery. I dont plan to root my phone.
Thx.

Without root you will not get good results.. Even if you calibrate your battery. In my opinion, the first step to get a better battery life is rooting your phone.
She doesn't have any games on her phone and yea Facebook runs but it does on mine and i don't have any issue with it. It never used to be that bad too. Just like this last week really

i've tried several things:
installed newer official versions from samsung

calibrated battery

tried juicedefender
but still no success.
can you identify something in my bbs??
thx in advance
I have the same problem, i had a full charge at night, then i woke up and the phone had 50 % battery, GPS, Bluetooth, Wifi were off and it drained half my battery, also installed CPU spy, and i notice that my phone is not going into deepsleep, i only have 5 hours of deepsleep and dont know when that was, i have the latest firmware, anyone else having this issue?
It's normal for this phone. Put the phone in airplane mode at night helps me with battery drain, just 2% juice gone.

install adaway
should decrease the battery drain and free up some memory in the process
Well for mine it was an app called Jango, for some reason this app after quitting it wouldn't let the phone go to deep sleep, removed the app and now its going to deep sleep.
Use JuiceDefender or or try to change your brightness level.
Please reply to my better-battery-stats...
I has nothing todo with screen brightness
thanks for the tip with adaway... i'm already using it... but no success

Your battery might be defective i guess, if deep sleep is that long and you're losing battery, i guess u have to blame the battery
I don't believe people get upto 4 days usage, if they do they hardly use the phone. Most people on here say about 1 days usage is common. Screen brightness on full will drain your battery more quickly.

It's a long shot, but I also experienced a lot of problems using Viber.. JuiceDefender etc wouldn't solve it, betterbatterystats wouldn't detect it, ...
Just noticed after a while that my sudden battery drains were triggered as soon as I received a message on Viber.
I also heard about facebook apps draining the battery.
Maybe you should first try to reset it to factory settings before asking a new battery?
Good luck with your phone, I know it can be frustrating..

Viber was the culprit in my case. Eating battery like a hungry monster :silly:
Gentleman, currently im having a big issue with my S3 Mini.
Some weeks ago, the battery started draining in a really short lapse of time. We are talking of aprox. 12 hourse of low usage (one phonecall, no sms, little whatsapp mesagging, some web sufring). By checking Betterbatterystats, i can confirm that almost 11 hours, the phone screen is off (or maybe 10 hours and a half).
I dont know what to do, i turned on airplane mode, and the problem persits. Changed rom 3 times (4.1.2 to 4.4, to 4.1.2 again), wiped data, cache, system, internal memory, etc..
Betterbatterystats screenshots are ATTACHED TO THE POST!!, to see if you cand find a wakelock, alarm, or something that can be interfering the battery life. (btw, i ruled out that theory since i changed rom and wiped everything so many times, but maybe there is something attached indefinetlely to the phone, really dont know).
The battery itself is the only reason in my mind right now, but the phone is only 9 months old (as well as the battery of course).
One thing that calls my attention, is that the charging time takes 2 hours max, maybe 1 hour and a half. Can the battery be damaged with so little lifetime?
Appreciate your help!!!

i had the same problem half a year ago (mine was also 8-9 months old back then). The phone started rebooting and many weird stuff happened I changed the battery and everything was ok. Now it's acting up again and i might change battery again.

Turn off wifi and reboot that helps sometimes . On the first Screenshot was your wifi always on. On the last Screenshot was your Android OS on the first place. That was the 1GHz bug.
facebook updates
Don't have facebook app (only messenger), and without messenger app, the battery keeps draining.
I red on the internet that the 1ghz bug tends to appear on Cyanogenmod. Only had cyanogenmod 11 for some days, turned back again to the stock rom.
Could this bug affect my phone right now? How can i fix it?
If not, im really thinking of buying a new battery, but the risk of another problem affecting the battery usage from the phone keeps turning me back!
Thanks!!

The battery don't seems to be neither round or thicker, and it don't spins freely.
Have you tried 'telling' the battery how much capacity it has again? (Drain until it automatically shuts down due to flat battery, charge back to 100% while off, switch on, drain again, charge again and use as normal)
Many manufacturers recommend charging when you reach 15-20% during normal use.
Also, have a look at govenors/schedulers if you have a custom ROM installed. Maybe changing combo works better for you, or even changing combo and switching back.

Mine (bought on March 2014) with power saver on goes from 100% to 96% in one night (data, Wi-Fi are off). I think that is normal. Battery lasts 2 days normal use (not much screen on).
You can do a Factory reset. Don't install apps and watch if the drain is still there.
1. If the drain disappear install your apps one by one to see witch cause the drain.
2. If the drain is still there send it to service you have a battery problem.

Did you installed some apps that may cause?
Is this brand new or used phone you bought?
need a bit more info.
go to settings - power - usage, and look at the app usage. You should see the typical apps you use a lot, but also look for apps that look out of place. like an app you don't use much, but uses a lot of battery use.
also look at settings - more - data usage, and scroll down. That will show which apps are using the most data, and also if it's foreground or background data. Don't worry too much about foreground data, that is data use happening while you are using the app. Instead, look for apps that are using a lot of background data. if you click on the app, you have an option to disable background data for those apps.
Note some apps don't function properly without background data enabled, like some google services/play store. also make sure the play store options are set to never auto update.
fwiw, I usually get 2.5-3 days between charges with light use.
Sounds like a major issue

The phone was bought 2 weeks ago and I have battery problems after 2-3 days. So the battery drain is huge, i got 10% (100%-90&) after 6 hours with the phone idle no use at all. What can I do?

If the phone is that brand new, it could be a malfunctioning phone that eats through battery life. I would try taking it back to where ever you bought it from and try getting a new phone. See if that helps. Otherwise you may need to purchase a different battery from a reputable seller in order to get a good amount of battery life.
Cheers!

You could try GSam Battery Monitor (dowload it form Play Store). It gives you a report on which apps drain your battery.

Those should be on the top of your list. You might have a faulty battery then. Have you tried a factory reset?
So, I tried a factory reset but still battery drain. I have another HTC One, with heavier usage and still goes all the day with 30-40% left at night. I will talk to Vodafone to sent the phone to warranty but I think they will say It's because you unlocked the bootloader, put a custom rom, and there is a chance to lose my warranty. Probably I'll buy a battery case

You could Greenify the apps running on the background. That way, they will only be running when you open them and not after you close them. This could help too.
