I don't know what your problem is, probably something is draining your battery madly! I would suggest installing juiceplotter from the market, and then downloading super power v0.75 BETA. With juice plotter you can see what state your phone has been in (screen on, aon, wifi,...) and super power lets you very effectively control what your phone is doing. These are the two apps i use to substantially increase my battery life! Hope some of that makes sense and helps..

Thank you I will definitely try it out. Will it tell me what's using the battery?

You can easily see what is using your battery. Go to 'settings', then 'about phone', then 'battery use'. What does is say there?
I have seen a lot of people complaining about battery life when using CM. Not sure if that is a coincidence or not... Maybe do a Nandroid and try the stock ROM for a while to rule out a ROM issue?
It will show you if your screen/apn/wifi was on our not. Also if you charged your phone. You will have to play with it for a while till you understand which color indicates what but after that you can analyze what your phone is found doing on one sight! Complemented with super powers functionality it gives you a couple od great role tools to adage some good battery!

So it's lasted 12 hours, using the screen for an hour and 17 minutes worth of voice calls... I guess that doesn't really seem right to me, although maybe if the screen is 100% brightness... Maybe turn it down to 50% and screen time out to 30 seconds?
Have you always had this kinda battery life?
Can you try these things? :
type in *#*#4363#*#* in your dialer. Select battery information. Is battery health good?
type in *#*#4363#*#* in your dialer. Select battery history. first drop down select partial wake usage. Is anything look out of place (something much larger than the rest)?
Maybe download a program called traffic stats lite? This program will tell you which apps have been transmitting data and how much. Possibly a rogue app that is transmitting all the time?
Hi tech338. The battery health is good and I hardly ever have my screen on 100 percent bright. The battery was definitely better. On the partial wake lock the only thing with the highest bar is android system. The blue bar is half way up. And its at 1 hour and 17 mins
Thank you

It's a been a problem with almost all smartphones not just android. The only solution I've found and most reliable is to have a spare battery.
You can try my battery app linked in my sig. It pulls the info from inside your battery chip to re calibrate it.
I literally cannot take this phone off my hands but I tried to test out how long the battery could last with few gaming and browsing with light usage and this is what I got
I'm really impressed with standby times

I found there might be some defective on software or sth else,
some batteries drain so fast, some are not.
for example, mine never last over 24hr even i turn off everything, use only 2G, with no app installed.
and it's instable, sometimes it drains so fast, sometimes not. I don't know why.
Until we get a software update probably will be great battery like the update for one x

I think that is why many of us expect a huge battery improvement after updating to JB ,perhaps the newer system wont be so power hungry.
these screenshots are fun and all but they are totaly irrelevant.
hoe much USE time are people gettng is whats interesting.
so screen on time.
as the goal is no drain with screen off and as long as possible screen on time (this is when you use apps and so on).
my phone can be on for 2 days and still hve 95% juice left but thats kinda irrelevant if i dont touch it.
when i use it non stop my use time averages on 4 hours and 15 minutes so far.
all the people having problems with battery drain must have either bad apps installed of verry poor wifi/3g connections.
as in a good serup with no bad apps and good signal wifi should not drain battery at all if your not using it.
i would so like all people with issue to lend me there phones for 3 days to see if in my stable envourement they have the same issues.
im fairly sure that all these problems are signal and user related and that it has nothing to do with the hardware.
My phone would only give me 2 hours max if the mobile data is on with sync off facebook sync set to 1 hour and hotmail sync set to 1 hours. But if wifi is on throughout the day i would get around 3 hours 15 min average with sync on hotmail set to push and facebook sync set to 1 hour. The battery is really poor as i only use it generally for txting whatsapp and just a bit browsing thats all nothing else. When i watch videos my phone consumes less battery, than normal usage which i do everyday. The highest screen time i have ever got was 4 hours 15 mins thatd because i watched a video for almost like 3 hours thats why. But the battery is still really poor

My android system also consumes a lot of power, its always on top no matter what. I am running on V_10H I disabled some stock apps using titanium backup and used fast demorcacy but the only difference I could see was android wakeups had been much lower thats all and so less power consumption when phone on standby thats all.

this is totally relevant information for regular users.
many people complain about battery drain and that a custom rom is the cause or custom kernel when its available, but what shows that it is not, is when you can place your handheld mobile or tablet alone with wifi set to instant off and you got 3g disabled and it lives for days without loss of battery, you know that it is stable.
when you suddenly lose battery in hours and previous tests showed it was lasting days, you can be sure you got battery infected apps trying to activate your cpu all the time.
i'd like to buy this phone but i'm a bit afaid of the battery drain. people who says it last 2 days with normal use other says that with gaming and browsing lasts 10-15h but a lot says that the battery lasts just 6 h with normal use... can someone who owns this phone and he use it with a middle-intense use (texting,browsing,gaming some time) tell me how much lasts the battery please??

Well, my usage pattern is kinda light, but still...
- took it off the charger at 7:15 am
- 3g data permanently on while I'm not at home (from 7:20 til 18:00 or 19:00)
- wifi on when I'm at home (during the night too, I never switch the phone off)
- sync always on (gmail, whatsapp)
- received a couple short phone calls, let's say 5-6 mins
- received a bunch of emails, say about 15 or something
- some messaging (on whatsapp and gtalk, I don't use sms)
- some facebook, let's say 15 minutes (through mobile website 'cause FB app sucks big time, always had and most probably always will)
- some net browsing looking for a few stuff, let's say 5-10 minutes
- checked a couple forums on tapatalk a couple times
- updated 3 or 4 apps on wifi
- downloaded a 50mb game on wifi and played it for like 10-15 minutes
- ebook reading on moon+ for 1 hour and 30 minutes (maybe even longer, didn't check the exact time)
I connected it to the charger when it reached 12% battery at about midnight THE NEXT DAY (yes, that is around 41 hours without recharging it)
Overall, I can say I'm satisfied, at least for my standard usage...
- Stock v10h firmware, no root (yet).
- Nova launcher since 5 minutes after buying it
- I usually keep brightness quite low unless I'm out in the open under the sun, good thing about this phone's screen is that it's usually very well visible even with only a 20% brightness. If I need to use it in full sunlight, I conveniently placed a full brightness widget on my homescreen, and then back to 20% with one click when I'm done. No autobrightness 'cause I don't like much how it's set to work on this phone (was kinda better on my old i9000, but oh well, 1 click widget and I'm good to go, no sweat)
- Disabled 3 or 4 stock apps (through app settings, no titanium or other stuff)
I noticed that battery usage was kinda higher before disabling those stock apps, I guess one of them was a powermonster of sorts (I suspect the meteo one, but I'm not sure)
- No facebook notifications of course, not for battery-related reasons but just 'cause I simply hate them... but I guess that's nice on the battery too
Sony really messed up this phone by putting a tiny battery in it.
I can only get 3 hours of on screen time with it.
All the reviews lied about 5-6 hours. its a joke.
I had the phone 4 or 5 days now, screen on 20%, NFC off, stamina mode on.
if i use the phone, its only for the occasional phone call, some basic website browsing or watching videos on MX player with H/W mode.
for example, it lost 15% battery watching half an hour video. thats 30% in an hour, so basically 3 hours of wtaching a video.
My phone is currently on 60% battery.
its been 17.5 hours since it was charged to 100%.
android system has used 21%
screen has used 18% (with screen usuage time on 1hr 12m)
wifi 13%
mediaserver 11% (what the hell is mediaserver??)
Cell standby 7%
voice calls 7%
etc
stamina mode is on, and i've whitelisted nothing.
It's had 2 or 3 full charges since i've had it. the battery life is a joke.
from my usage above, does this all sound normal???
i love this phone, except the battery life. sony really messsed up here.
Sounds similar to my experience also.
Had over 5 hours with the phone on 13 hours of battery, yes there are software issues but this should be possible.

Screen on time does not mean watching a video. Have you also tried turning off the bravia engine? You'll get a bit more life out of watching videos then.

because i absolutely love everything else about this sony phone, i even prefer sony's version of android over stock android! first time I have ever preferred a manufacturers version over plain vanilla android.

I never watched a video only some youtube videos, so it might be different with watching videos. But I have the device since 28 February and the battery really seems to be improved allot. for instance I have used the device in the same way as last Monday but now I have over 10% more battery than last week. Also I noticed that the brightness heavily impacts the battery. If you are in a pinch the best is to lower the brightness to it's lowest setting with auto brightness turned on. Another thing with video is that it will differ between videos as bit-rate and format will have an impact on the battery. I would be surprised if you really notice a difference between 1080p and 720p in terms of quality since the screen is very small, but I would guess that it would be less demanding of the battery. Maybe a bit of experimenting with different bit-rate and format is warranted.
I would also know what the hell is mediaserver...i got over 14% usage...

Mediaserver does seem to spring into action whenever you view images, watch videos and listen to music. For some users, it then goes into overdrive using a lot of processing power, making the device hot and draining the battery. I've read that a corrupt file can send mediaserver into an infinite loop.
Anyway, the mediaserver battery drain is an Android issue - users have been having the same issue with galaxy s3, nexus 4, nexus 7 and other devices. Try force stopping Google Play Music and uninstalling the updates, and if you don't use it, disable it altogether. Then switch off your phone, wait a few seconds, reboot and recharge. Other than that, you may have to reboot after loading music, videos, images or find the dodgy files (if there are any) on your device. Not really an acceptable situation - Google need to sort this long-running issue out.
Media server will show up when your watching videos/listening to music... Compare its awake time with your time watchings vids, and you'll see they match up. I noticed that newer versions of mxplayer are draining more battery than older ones on my XperiaS.( 5h vs 8h , theoretically) . Try downloading older version that has "hardware decoder" , not "hardware decoder+ " , or disable Hw+ . Im getting mine XZ this week ..i'll look into it

Media server is responsible for a lot of things. But most of the time when it is stuck it is stuck on indexing. Could be the SD card, best is to reformat the SD in the phone. Also I noticed it is sometimes slow to update photos that I added manually, this could be because I have stamina mode switched on dough.
You can force the Album app to re index by removing data and cash and re starting your phone.
Hmm...need to sort out this media server problem...do you have any solution..

Like I said format your SD card in phone put the media back on it and let it be indexed. indexing is done by the media server and depending on the media on your sd card this could take a while. Also switch off stamina mode while it is busy indexing.

I've got 54 percent battery left and I've got 2 hours 26 min screen on time right now, that's with watching some video, looking at pics and web useage. That's good enough for me.. 5 hours screen on by death.
I finded a solution for lowering mediaserver.
Keypad sound off,screen vibration off.
But when you turn on music or look videos it will run again.(images don't have anything with mediaserver)

Have someone faced the same problem as this? see pic. Suddenly the battery go down from 46% to 16% after i restart it, not sure if this is a bug or what, ive just bought this device, and im alittle new about this device. Here is some detail about my device.
- its a new device
- havent root it yet
- havent do any modification.
- i update it via SUS.
Let it run for a few weeks. It'll be fine overtime.
Humans have evolved to be smarter, but there's one thing we can't get rid off. It's human stupidity.
Happened again. But this time seems weird, its increasing from 4% to 9%. Hmm.

Is this normal? Only 17 hours after it fully charged, im not a gamer and also not a heavy user. Anyone are welcome to share about urs battery life. I hope this is normal, otherwise im not happy with it.
Yes it's normal, as Erica said, let it run for few weeks.
Try to not let the battery discharge below 10%, and charge to 100% before unplugging.
On my old Note, when looking at battery usage (and on my nexus 7), "Screen" was always the top listed user of battery life, and below that were apps that i'd been using.
This couldn't be farther from reality on my note 3, however!
Right now:
47% - not charging. 1d 12h 8m 15s on battery
Google Play Services - 59%
Android OS - 9%
Cell Standby 7%
Screen 7%
Granted, I am not using the phone very heavily (obviously), and I have no complaints about the battery usage (I've been skipping nights of charging because-I-can with this, which I could never do before). I just don't understand why it's showing so much battery usage as being due to Google Play Services...
Is this:
a) A problem with my phone that could be remedied (how?), resulting in even more ridiculously long battery life
b) The battery usage numbers are bull****, at least for low overall usage.
c) Normal - Samsung's engineers are miracle workers and managed to make a very efficient screen
d) Normal - Google Play Services is a huge battery hog in general.
If it's d), can anything be done to rein it in? The potential battery life without that drain is so tempting!

So it's the "Use Wireless Networks" option under location services, then? That one can't be checked off without agreeing to the popup. Let's see if that improves anything.

Okay, this has yielded improvements.

53% of how much time? 1 to 3 hours, no worries. Up to 6 or 7 hours up time probably an issue. More and definitely a problem. It is a matter of perspective. 50% of an hour is 30 minutes while 50% of 10 hours is 5 hours. It is hard to tell if there is a problem with these high percentages if they are based on short total time.
Sorry if that is long winded, but hope you get what I am trying to say.
1%/hour is not bad if there is some use time on it. If it was during down time, still not bad but shoot for .5 to .8.

I get exactly what you saying.
1 day 10 hrs uptime, 53% on Swype + Dragon (well, 49 now, after doing some battery hungry stuff). Tapping that entry shows:
CPU total: 3h 3m 49s
Stay awake: 1d 4h 47m 28s
Data sent: 38.1 kb
Data received: 42.83 kb
1 day 10 hours is not bad but with only 3 hour and x minutes of screen time, I think you have an issue. I get between 1 day and 15 to 17 hours with 5.5 to 6.5 hours screen time. (edit:There are days I get worse and some days better. Depends on where I am at and what I am doing) Usually with 2 to 3 hours of music. Of course a lot of variables contribute to the difference between our results.
Try doing a battery pull and then keep track of a full charge cycle and see what happens.
Edit 2: just reread your post and saw that swype/dragon shows awake for 1 day 4 hours. Have you tried a different keyboard to see what happens? Is Dragon the speech to text program?

(edit:There are days I get worse and some days better. Depends on where I am at and what I am doing) Usually with 2 to 3 hours of music. Of course a lot of variables contribute to the difference between our results.
Try doing a battery pull and then keep track of a full charge cycle and see what happens.
Edit 2: just reread your post and saw that swype/dragon shows awake for 1 day 4 hours. Have you tried a different keyboard to see what happens? Is Dragon the speech to text program?

Yeah, for some reason swype now comes bundled with some speech recognition feature I never use.
The problem with a different keyboard is that I am practically paralyzed on my phone without swype I don't know how I used a phone without it. I'd have to set this up for a test when I'm not going to be using the phone much.
It's bad enough to be talking to my phone when i'm making a call, I don't want to be talking to myself when i'm not making a call. I think everyone looks crazy when they're on hands-free barking orders to their phone - where I live, you see a lot of people talking on hands free, but you also see a lot of crazy bums talking to themselves, and you can't tell them apart if they have a hat on, cause it hides the headset, except by judging how expensive their clothes are - and even then, hipster and homeless look pretty similar....

On my old Note, when looking at battery usage (and on my nexus 7), "Screen" was always the top listed user of battery life, and below that were apps that i'd been using.
This couldn't be farther from reality on my note 3, however!
Right now:
47% - not charging. 1d 12h 8m 15s on battery
Google Play Services - 59%
Android OS - 9%
Cell Standby 7%
Screen 7%
Granted, I am not using the phone very heavily (obviously), and I have no complaints about the battery usage (I've been skipping nights of charging because-I-can with this, which I could never do before). I just don't understand why it's showing so much battery usage as being due to Google Play Services...
Is this:
a) A problem with my phone that could be remedied (how?), resulting in even more ridiculously long battery life
b) The battery usage numbers are bull****, at least for low overall usage.
c) Normal - Samsung's engineers are miracle workers and managed to make a very efficient screen
d) Normal - Google Play Services is a huge battery hog in general.
If it's d), can anything be done to rein it in? The potential battery life without that drain is so tempting!

I'm sorry but rooting to me messes this phone up.
Rooted 1st day a method was available and have seen nothing to make me regret it. Same battery life. Same speed. No issues so far.
I think your first device was defective like you had stated in one of your posts. How is your new one holding up?

I disabled some of the permissions (location, read contacts, post notification) from Swype in AppOps.
I don't know if this was what fixed the issue, or whether Swype wound up in a "wakelock" through some one-time event.
Now, I'm seeing the screen at the top of battery usage, like it's supposed to be. Can't yet quantify the improvement in battery life, as I was using the phone more heavily the past 2 days since I charged it.
This phone is psycho. I thought my battery drain was fixed..but nope. Android OS is again killing it. My phone won't sleep. Better battery stats and wakelock detector doesn't tell me why. .in 11 hours my phone has been awake like 6 hours..While being in my pocket.

I read in another post to install GPS Status&Toolbox from playstore. I installed pressed menu button on phone ticked settings..then back arrow..ticked menue again then tools and it took care of the problem. Have no idea why but battery is back ontop

Okay well I couldn't take it anymore and I rooted. New phone is still acting great. No problems so far. Battery life is the same if not a little better. I did go and unchecked the Google Locations crap because Google services was taking batt life up. Looks good so far today.
Sorry theorieoles33 thought that was for me...heres a:beer:
