[Q] What is wrong with my Note - it goes to ultra deep sleep at night???

Last few days has been a nightmare since i wake up in the morning only to discover than my phone is completely switched off when i didn't switch it off at all...furthermore when i went to bed it had 50%+ of battery life - i don't know what is wrong with the device - please "Note", this is stock device and i've only been downloading games/apps from android/samsung market etc.
Also if you would like to know - the very first time this happened to me - 2 days ago - at the start of the lock screen (bottom left corner) popped out a thing saying "safe mode"???
Can't believe this phone is already messing up only into 1 weeks use!!!
Any help would be appreciated dearly...Thanks

Anyone???

You need better Battery status app for identifying what makes your phone go dead every night. I think you got to be rooted.

Ive actually seen the "safe mode" with my gio before but never knew what it is.....
Anyways.....
Just now turn it off go to recovery
(press home button and power button at the same time when powered off)
Scroll down-up using volume buttons
Scroll down to wipe cache and press home button, then scroll down or up to wipe data factory reset then press home button, scroll up to reboot system now.....
PLEASE NOTICE: BY DOING THIS, YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA, but it may fix your phone, so its worth a try.
Click thanks if I helped

Alternatively you can get rooted. Then u will have more control and more visibility to ur system and can even catch the culprit. Use links in my signature!
After rooting you can also backup your apps and data!

Okay ill see if it continues this within these few days, if it does then ill take your word on the possibility of rooting - but i thought rooting = wipe previous data or storage...I've downloaded a lot of apps and wouldn't want to redo the chore

No just rooting doesn't mean that you have to lose your data. Unless you are on non direct rootable rom. Flashing custom roms require data wipes!

Okay I'm a complete noobie at this stuff. What does "flashing" mean? And one of the main reasons why I kept the stock rom is because I don't want to end up bricking my phone because I did something slightly wrong, also because I've rooted a windows phone before but the functions failed there after ... don't want to risk messing this new & expensive phone .

Flashing is the act of overwriting a ROM module in a device in order to upgrade it or change it.
Just like you reimage your windows system from XP to Windows 7
And like I am currently on Ice Cream Sandwich which is not even officially released
You have the links in my signature and if you follow the guidelines to the dot then it will be a peaceful process that will get over in max 10 mins Download Dr Ketan's guide from the Rooting link i have provided in my signature!
Rest everything depends on your comfortableness and choice!!

Try wiping battery stats/calibrating the battery (I assume you're rooted) and check battery use to see if any apps are probably drainig it in the background. A factory wipe and reflash would be a good idea too.

You could always root it after you've flashed v20s rooted stock rom is actually quite decent, after you've freezed the bloatware!

It can be software as well.
You can use the BetterBatteryStats app to see if any apps prevent the phone from sleeping or do other inefficient things.
Since I got the phone 1,5y ago I once or twice also had that the reported battery level was not in sync with the actual battery level. That was when I was draining the battery on purpose after wiping the battery stats and gaming on the phone while the LED flashlight was on It suddenly went from 40% to off.

they say it cant happen

well, i read all the time how nexus devices are unbrickable and maybe (hopefully) im wrong! so i been running stock rom rooted for a few days actually since yesterday i flashed back to stock and rooted only and flashed cwm recovery thats it. today (actually just a little while ago) i was messing around and was running antutu benchmark with stock then i flashed franco r53 kernel using his auto flash method in his app. no sooner that i started the test in antutu phone went completely black. will not respond to anything. so i said well maybe i can connect usb and get it to go into fastboot so i got lucky (or so i thought) soon as i plugged it in i saw red light at the bottom and battery charging icon. so i press power and volume down and was able to get into fastboot, i was kinda happy about this. i flashed back to stock wiped everything first wipe boot wipe cache wipe recovery wipe system flash bootloader reboot bootloader and flashed the system img and boot img and all that went thru succesfully. but it still will not boot it goes in and out red light battery icon google image. so i tried again flash stock images locked bootloader and fastboot reboot nothing i unplug usb goes straight black screen and wont respond. plug back in get red light and battery icon in and out back and forth between icon and black screen with red light. so i know allot of people get complacent in thinking that because you have a nexus you cannot brick but it is possible to brick this phone. or maybe someone can tell me im wrong. lol anyways just posting this here for people to think twice and not get so comfortable thinking you cannot brick a nexus. tommorow ill take the phone to t-mobile and get another one. and no i wont tell them it was my fault! (< for that one guy) lol good night!

I read lot about "antutu benchmark" as it's bad for Nexus 4 and cause this problem!.
hope somebody can help you out.

If it's easy to take back do it. However couple of folks have got it fixed by opening the backplate and disconnecting/reconnecting battery terminals.
Almost 90%+ people having this issue were running Antutu.

Why would you think its a good idea to flash a custom kernel on to stock?

There are tons of threads about this, do some searching your phone is not bricked, also to the poster above me there is nothing wrong with flashing a custom kernel over stock.

Actually that is incorrect, it is not okay. Most Devs will post comparable kernels, or flash your own kernel on to this rom at your own risk on every rom thread op. Stock only supports its own kernel, so while some kernels might work as a stock replacement kernel, it is never a good idea to flash a custom kernel on to a stock rom unless the Dev says otherwise.

This for the help. I'll try this tomorrow morning. Of course I tab a search bit could not find the threads. I hit red light and it took me to legacy phone. I type brick in search fort n4 and nothing. So I never saw those threads about this issue. So thanks. And ive never had a problem with running custom kernels on stock ROM. Never! Lol
Any ways thanks for help! Can moderator close this thread please! Thanks!

Franco R53 is fine on stock - running it here with minimal other changes (I.e. root + email security policy hack)
I've updated every Franco kernel and all seen OK. Perhaps the benchmark related hardware failure is worth looking closely at.
FWIW, if you're back to stock, lock the bootloader and send it back as it sounds hardware to me.

:sigh: No. Franco says his kernel supports the stock ROM. In fact, stock is the standard to test a kernel on. Unless a ROM is created with very specific additions that rely on a custom ramdisk to function, there is nothing wrong with it. Even then, it's not really wrong, you'll just have some missing features.

Charge your phone?
Im pretty sure you get the red light if your device has not enough power to display the screen.. Put your phone on charge through the main plug

This happened to me, except I was bone stock. You need to hold down all 3 buttons at the same time; several times, and then try to get into the bootloader. That's what worked for me. Once you're in the bootloader you can flash the stock image(s) via fastboot.

Holding down the power button for five seconds is the equivalent to pulling the battery, is it not? That is how it has been on other devices with non-removable batteries.

if this is true then why do i need to pull the phone apart and disconnect the battery and reconnect? apparently this is a known issue and has happened to others and taking phone apart and disconnecting battery and rconnecting it fixes the issue. unfortunately i dont have the right tools to do this so i will be taking my phone to t-mobile this morning. thanks for all the help guys. really appreaciate all the responses i got.

At times the power button wont work. In some cases of soft bricks. I have this issue since i had HD2.

That's exactly what I said in my last post. Next time the op needs to clarify if the custom kernel supports stock. But regardless I was correct.

The service manual says ten seconds but yes it fully cuts power from the battery.

So sitting in my car waiting for t mobile store to open I decide to plug phone in to car charger since I know this will be first thing t mobile does and lo and behold phone booted up and start working. Battery drained to 0 and charging now. Go figure

Maps consuming 99% of battery power

I've noticed my phone only charging at around 70mah when simply on the home screen (charges very fast when screen is off/sleep, 800+mah). I am using battery monitor widget to see the current draw. Using battery doctor, it tells me Maps is using 99% of the battery being consumed, even after testing it out playing Temple Run 2 for 20 minutes on max screen brightness. Is anyone else having this issue? Any known solutions? I even tried disabling GPS and latitude.

Go into settings/location and turn off GPS and location and search.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app

I have tried that. But I would like to use my GPS as it has a lot of uses with applications. That still doesn't explain having such a high current draw enough to only charge at only 70mah even while in use. Any phone should be able to charge significantly faster than the battery drains (aside from USB charging). Something is putting a ton of unwanted load on while the phone is not sleeping. The phone sleeps VERY well in the sense of conserving power (-10mAh)
Can someone download battery doctor and see if Maps is also very high on their list? It could also be a false reading on the apps end. I'm looking at my phone right now on max brightness and it shows it's discharging at -304mAh, which is acceptable. I'm more concerned about the charging rate being horrible while the phone is awake. Something might be really making the processor do unnecessary work.

I have the same percentage for maps as well....
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app

I use GSAM. I used to have issues with maps doing that, and forgot how I fixed it. I wish they would make Google maps not suck. So many freaking wakelocks.
Edit: make sure you turn off that location sharing friend crap, check in notification and auto check in.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app

It's kind of sad that they took "Screen" out of the list of power consuming things as that is truly the most common power consuming factor. I'm really not impressed with this release of Sense. I WANT MORE PANELS!! lol I went from 7 panels from the Evo 3D to 5 panels including blinkfeed which I don't use. Sooo lamee
Anyway, the phone is new so I'm sure there will be updates fixing a ton of issues since they kind of rushed the release after the initial delay. I'm betting a bunch of issues escaped unfixed because of that. Would anyone suggest a ROM to potentially fix my issue and improve everything as a whole?

Which app is that and which ROM are you using? My HTC One is rooted but I haven't rommed it yet. I'm debating whether or not I should and if I do, which one I should use.
I'm still wondering if anyone has had any experiences with extremely slow charging while using the phone.

That app is stock sense. Settings > power > usage. I would say definitely ROM it. More customization possibilities and it will only get better. The ROMs that are out now are completely stable and mildly tweaked compared to what they will be in a month or so. Also I had slow charging for my first few cycles and it seems to have gotten much better. At least on par with my wife's evo lte.

I'm leaning towards the Viper ROM. Any other suggestions or possibly better ROMs?
I believe everything gets wiped when the ROM is flashed, correct? I already have TWRP installed.

The generic answer is to try a few different ones and see what works best for you. For me, I'm using viper as my daily. But who knows what I'll be using tomorrow.... I'm a flashaholic. There's a superwipe posted in these forums that will wipe everything for you but in essence it formats system, data, cache, and dalvik. Any time you jump to a different ROM you will want to wipe everything. Keep in mind a factory reset is not the same thing as a full wipe as it does not wipe system files.

So every time you flash another ROM, what do you do to recover all your data, apps, game progress, etc.
I just made a backup of everything with my stock ROM using TWRP.

Personally I use titanium backup.... But it can cause issues as can any app that transfers data between ROMs. you can actually import data from your nandroid by using titanium.... Or just restore the data partition from your nandroid from within twrp. No matter what you may run into issues and if that's the case just start over for the best results.
I apologize ahead of time if this makes no sense.... Exhaustion at work is setting in.

I have updated my phone to Official Jelly Bean and now my baterry do not charge more than 60%. I have tried custom ROMs and the result was the same.

EDIT: Just to confirm. My smartphone have a problem on the main board and the LG support shift it. Now the phone works correctly. Problem solved.

I had the same experience with my wife phone. I was able to fix that issue by boot to cwm, delete battery stat, reboot, plugin charger then shut down the phone while charging.

Thank you for the help, but I have tried this already without success.

reflash the rom maybe something was wrong with the battery data in your ROM ?

I have tried everything that I think was possible, again without success.
Maybe a problem inside the battery...
I am desperate...thinking to buy a chinese battery to test...
Any suggestions?

just a suggestion, try draining the battery first, turn the brightness to the max, until it shutdown automatically. then charge it to the fullest while its off or maybe leave it for a couple of hours. hope that helps

Faulty battery I'm guessing if all ROMs have same result. Don't buy cheap Chinese batteries though, get an original or trusted replacement like mugen/anker
