hi all..
2 weeks ago I finally bought my very first android based HH, GNOTE...currently I'm running on ICS LPF Taiwan unroot, and very love it. one of my concern on this ICS, is the battery drain so much, considering it just sit on my pocket.
i have CPU Spy and BBS Installed, and found that it just Deep Sleep 48% and 200MHz 37 %. Kernel Wakelock is "multipdp" 25% Power Manager Services 21,2% and secril_fd-interface 19.25.
could you please tell me what causing this battery drain so much..?
The best thing that you could do is do a Factory Reset, but with all the bricking problems it's highly discouraged. I don't recognise the processes, but you should make sure that you deleted all the apps you never use, since one of then could be causing the problems you have.

After upgrading to German ICS, also had problems with wakelocks (phone never sleeped)
Done this (posted on XDA somewhere) and it worked:
Turn Flight Mode ON
Turn Off the Phone
Take out the battery for 30 secs
Plug battery back
Turn on the phone
Wait until all is loaded and turn off Flight Mode.
Also, always disconnect from the charger with screen ON and unlocked.
After using this 2 metods, never had a wakelock again (multipdp etc)

thanks a lot for both of you....
will try these steps.....and will comeback with the result....

i've tried those two methods, and still got multipdp issue...
i also have disabled the fast dormancy with *#9900# command, but still no effect, ...could you please or someone give another way to solve this..
Stop syncing from your gmail account.
The big one is unplugging charger with screen on.

thanks for your answer for my question...
regarding that did you mean that i have to stop receiving email on my Galaxy Note..?? for me that's really important since i bought my note to support my daily job...
is it the main cause..? if yes, i think i should buy another battery as a way out.
I also have encountered the same problem with my galaxy note after the stock ics update in India.
I have checked out the earlier posts on the same issue..
Some users had the problems of deep sleep and some others had other problems..bt as far i have been able to understand this problem...it is associated with those apps which we often use..for eg i had been using apex launcher for so long...and it used to suck my phones battery like hell also coz of the widgets and the other things that it use.
So what i did was a simple factory reset and a data wipe and didn't install the apex launcher again.
I let my phones battery drain completely and charged it till 100% and simply rebooted it and removed the battery too. And its working good now.
Those things which suckedy battery included android system and display...i could do any thing about display but i force stopped may process of android system and results are good.
One more reason for battery drain could be that when we go backs from the apps on stock ics on galaxy note..the apps do not get closed comletely like stock web browser which works in the background too..so might be other reason for so.
Don not install those apps which u dont use often coz they might work in background add unnecessorily suck ur bettery.
Try the battery pull off trick it really works for majority of users.
Force close those apps and processes which u feel unnecessory.
Those whose claim ics doesnt work smooth on their note they pls go the develpers option in settings and enable the force GPU rendering option then it will work smooth like anything...
One more thing which u may already know about galaxy note ics is that now it runs all the tablet apps on ur note! Thats pretty amazing coz u need not root it or do anything...for me it worked with the apps like...adobe idea, adobe photoshop touch and all other adobe apps and some other tablet apps..download these apps directly from 4shared..so cheers!!!
Those who are not happy with their battery pls try factory reset and battery pull off trick...it worked for me and it might work for u too my friend...
if you are entering deep sleep at all then you aren't being affected by the bug where you have to make sure your screen is on and unlocked before pulling it off the charger.
i suffered from this bug after updating to ics lpy, but since following the guide above (flight mode, power down etc.) i've had no issues.
let your phone completely discharge, then turn it back ona dn make sure it turns off again. then fully charge it. i found this increased the accuracy of the battery a little, when i did it it dropped from 10% to 1% in around 20 mins, then i was able to use the phone for almost half an hour on 1% so obviously my battery stats weren't quite right.
if you've done a factory reset, and you're sure the phone is entering deep sleep ok, just go through a couple of complete charge/discharge cycles and see if that improves things

Analyzing is tought on android.
Printscreens of kernel wakelock and partial are better.
Partial is mostly what exactly is keeping awake
Try some of the suggestions from the numerious threads, state them here whicj didnt work and describe usage a little more detail, that way we arent shooting in the dark

i still got this issue regarding multipdp and secril_fd_interface....maybe it caused by unstable network or the fast dormancy stuff...
so i went to nearest samsung center and buy a spare battery... now i have no concern about this...but still keep on eye with l2_hsic...the flight mode on and restart will solve this issue..

I was having battery drain issues myself. Got tired of checking CPU Spy and BBS etc. Worried about bricking and wiping so I...
I rooted the phone.
Installed SpeedMod Kernel 3-3 via mobile odin that didnt really solve it.
I installed Abyss kernel. Wiped everything because its supposed to be a safe wipe kernel.
Then installed Criskelo rom
Then installed SpeedMod Kernel 3-3 again and everything was great with battery life.
You have to reinstall apps and setup your phone basically but its well worth it in my opinion. Now my only battery drain is me always messing with my phone.

I would stay away from telling people this is a safe thing to do in ICS, it's been proven many times it is not.
Maybe you have been lucky - so be thankful you're not using a paperweight...

@gayanaji - I use Criskelo's ROM and all the Samsung apps work fine. No probs here. Many of the custom ROMS are based on other Kernels that the Samsung apps do not work with. I am a bit new to this but I believe that is correct. Just make sure to use a Samsung app compatible Kernel if you decide to do it. Also another piece of advice before doing anything read a bunch to make sure you fully understand everything with regards to rooting, flashing custom ROMS etc.
Manually upgraded over stock non rootable CarPhone Warehouse GB rom using PC Odin.
Im getting very bad batrery drain. On the stock GB rom my phone would easily last two days with moderate use. Now with the ICS rom its draining pretty fast. I took it off the charger approximately 1.5 hours ago and with little to no use Im already at 90%. Same stock settings and same apps. Only difference is I am now using Apex Launcher.
I noticed wifi constantly on even during deep sleep but i have now configured it to only be on while plugged in.
Ive pulled he battery out for a few minutes and that hasnt helped. One last thing im going to try is revert back to GB and then wipe, clear cache and upgrade again...
Any advice/help would be appreciated..

Yeah, i updated to the lpy ROM when it was released and found the lack of deep sleep issue causing a problem. The above fix sorted it and I've had no problems since, performance has been noticeably better and battery life has been just as good, if not slightly better, than under ginger bread

Takes longer to analyse bro.
In those 24 min abnormal battery drain?
Best to check battery percentages.
Next to these two apps you can check badassmonitor or equavalent, they have also good measuring for actual battery usage per app.
Analysing sucks thought, totally not user friendly.

I could be wrong but it seems as if my wifi is still constantly active...battery drain is pretty bad...i think im going to revert back to GB, perform a full wipe and cache cleane and re install...
I did an "factory data reset" before and straight after i upgraded to the official UK ICS.
I did read if you use the alarm clock, it keeps your phone awake, even after you disable it, other apps most likely do the same.
Below is a picture over night, I always manually enable/disable wifi/bluetooth/gps as have yet to find an app that works correctly.
John.
Yeah tipically you would be looking for the following:
If your device goes into deepsleep at all. (on battery that is)
You can check this with cpu spy.
If it doesnt check the kernel wakeloks (high level) and the partial wakeloks (zoomed into detail level, best level for troubleshooting).
Anything there that runs often and long is probably causing the deepsleep insomnia. I wish Android would be better in able to determine what really influences your phones battery.
Next to this, some apps you can change synch settings (within apps itself, e.g. facebook etc) Thats just a typical change. every sync uses energy, and wakes up device.
Another possible check is the power on of with airplane mode.
Another tip is unchecking the sounds when touching touchscreen (a bug from the old days of android, and they never fixed) this is a major wakelock causer and by default turned on.
I usually get 4~5 hours nonstop onscreen time after tweaking it (without setting to much stuff of, otherwise I could have gotten a normal phone lmao)
after factory reset and data wipe on your galaxy note please calibrate the battery both ways...horizontal and gyroscope.
This will definitely help your phone better monitor the battery and bring it to normal status..

I tried out the steps mentioned in above link and I think its working for me.
After upgrading my note to UK ICS release the battery is drainig like anything.
Its like 1% every minute .
After applying steps mentioned in the url its not draining that much. MAy after some more recharge cycles it will be more stable.
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.

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

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...
The long awaiting LP is here.
Lets test the battery.Post LP Battery Usage here.

Hey guys,
I think I might have a problem here, I did OTA update over 10.5.1.A.0.283, got 10.6.A.0.454. Everything seems to be working fine, the system is quite smooth, yet battery life is worse than it was!
Cell standby and the OS seem to be consuming way to much battery, my reception isn't perfect, yet I checked in Cell standby and signal loss is at 0%.
I do have STAMINA on, yet according to CPU Spy the phone never goes into Deep Sleep. Isn't that suspicious?
You'll find a few screenshots attached to this post to give you an idea what I'm talking about. I'll try to flash the full rom today and see if it helps, while I'm typing this message FlashTool is creating an FTF file so that I can flash it later. I'll keep you posted.

From my point of view, it totally depends whether you did an OTA update or flash the new ROM. In my case, I have the Deep Sleep state active for a lot of time, and here's the screenshot:
Did you make a factory reset before/after flashing? Most time this helps.
Think the scan location when wifi is off option (in wifi setting) has effect on the google play service.
Also I am testing what exactly that stamina clock option within stamnia setting does. It seems it affects the battery in a not necessarily good way.
This is annoying. Sony includes all these features that are basically rubbish...

Hi,
I installed lollipop onto my ZR via the PC Companion a week ago, and I used a clean install (repair). My battery life is very bad compared to kitkat. I don't use my phone often, mostly it is in standby mode with mobile data enabled and stamina mode enabled (I added a few applications to stamina mode white list: gmail, facebook messanger, etc.). With kit-kat I had to charge my phone every 3 day, but now I have to charge it every day!!! this is 3 times worse than kitkat. If I check under power management - battery usage, I see a few apps have several hours of 'mobile radio active' (mostly gmail, chrome).
I have searched for this on internet, it looks like it is an lollipop related issue and not a sony related issue. Lollipop has this issue since 6 months now , and they didn't do anything to fix this (there are tons of forums posts about this on reddit, and on other places). I have the feeling Android is getting worse in every new version, and Google hire the most ****tiest developers of all time. They don't even answer to the thousands of user complaints of this issue. I will never touch an android phone in the future.

But then all my Note range 2,3,4..5 has and still has, very good battery usage overall !
If i had battery " life issues" I would have done a bit of "investigating" or what is causing battery the drain?
Also, did you do a clean update or dirty?
I would also, monitor batter usage ....?
eg with a app like GSam battery app etc etc. (Play store, free app)
(Before you start blaming Marshmallow or system.)
You must also remember, some 3rd-party
apps might not been optimized for Marshmallow .. yet. ?
I have already experience this, with some 3rd party apps on Marshmallow !
If its system causing issues then remember , system apps, wifi, location always on , Facebook or some always on app, etc might be the reason.?
I would then consider taking drastic steps... factory reset and reflashing official stock Rom again.
You don't have to be rooted to do above !
Bottom line, you have to find cause /app /system app, and deal with it accordingly.
Good luck
Did you try the deep sleep fix by Dr.ketan ?
Note 5 which have knox triggered have issues going into deep sleep which will have huge impact on the standby time.

Hey, thanks a lot for such a detailed reply, really appreciate it.
I actually did do somewhat of an investigation after reading some posts and articles online. I am unable to find the real reason the battery time has decreased after I updated to MM. I did a clean update using ODIN to flash the latest firmware. It was the cambodian version that first came up. Later on when a Saudi Arabia version came up, I flashed that since I got my phone from Saudi Arabia. I performed a factory reset aswell and set it up from scratch.
I don't use the facebook app so I have disabled that, location is also off and wifi settings have also been optimized. When I check my battery stats, I don't see any app or any system app even that is consuming unusual amount of battery. "Screen" is always the one to use the most battery and is followed by "Cell Standby" and "Android OS".
I don't know about the third party apps much to be honest. There aren't much in my phone except for the usuals like snapchat and messenger and some other apps but none of them are consuming unusual amount of battery. I have turned on the app optimization so many of my apps are always optimizing.
If you have any more idea as to what should I do, let me know and i'll surely try it out.

My knox isn't triggered I have checked that because I have kept this phone in it's stock state since the day I got it. Previously I used to root my phones the day I got them but this time I around I wanted to see how stock will treat me so I didn't root this one.
Dr. Ketan's fix is for knox tripped devices and asks for root etc so i'll probably pass on that.
Thanks for your reply.

HI,
It's good to see you are trying. Believe me we have to pinpoint any possible "wakelocks" that you have.Only then should you be able to tackle issue. !
Have you installed even GSam battery app ? It has a section to pinpoint " app suckers".. (their wording.) (No root needed)
Have you looked at your deep sleep data?
eg a app like Cpu spy should tell you such info .? or is your device always running in a low power state .? (no root needed)
Are you rooted ?
then yes issues it can be endless .!
Anyway ,
If so ,you can install battery apps eg Wakelock dectector or Betterbatteries ,to get more info ?
Then there is apps like Greenify or your stock Smart Manager ,that can tell you a lot .or nothing ?
have you disable processes with an app "Package Disabler" if so you can have "knock on" effect .(re battery drain )
Please note ...
that the stock battery app helps, but its very basic.Your Snapchat and Messenger ,is it set to auto update .?..thus causing wakelocks ,as apps has to check Status/updates.?.(battery drainers .)
Good luck

Hey,
Thanks for your constant support. Yeah I know that is the only way this issue can be solved.
I will install GSam right now and see what it has to say.
I was thinking of looking at the deep sleep data, haven't done it yet. Will install cpu spy as well.
No I don't use my phone in a low power state.
Nope. Not rooted. Thinking of doing so, what do you say?
I haven't installed Greenify after the update. I think buying such a heavy spec phone and then limiting everything kind of ruins the whole point of it, don't you think?
Haven't used package disabler cause it confuses me as to what to disable and what not to.
Yup my apps are set to auto update. The battery app doesn't show them using too much battery though. How to disable this auto update I'm kinda unsure?

hi ,
Rooting ...its your choice ,its your device .!!!!!!
however ,i can answer you in this way .
All my precious devices , ..eg Note 2 ,3 , 4...and a Note 8.0 tablet ,is rooted and i am really enjoying the "rooting "
capabilities /power ..to do what i want ..!
That said you would notice i did not list Note5 ?
No ,its not rooted ( had device since October 2015 )
Yet ,my Note 4 ihave ,same day ..rooted .
So it depends .?
I have found no need to root Note5 ,as i am happy overall with the whole experience.!!
smoothness ,speed ,themes ,browsing experience .!!
No irritating bugs ( Just sorted the few bugs i had out ..factory resetting .)
this time it worked .(Previously ,seldom worked ,factory resetting )
I ended up always, flashing Rom with Odin to fix .
Battery overall ,
eg .sleep mode ( night time ) i get about 9../10 hours with +- 3% drainage .
I am a "meduim power user" and get with overall use a day ...+- 35..40 % battery drainage ( +- 24hrs)so i have about... 55/ 60% battery left at end of the day .(eg emails weather updates ,twitter ,forums /web browsings ..Google Play store updates , Themes store etc etc . )
I feel i can achieve this as my device is tweaked right !!! Not obsessed,as to as some members with battery SOT ( time on ) .
Ok , Auto Update , Play store ?
turn off in Play store settings ,(see screenshot .....this taken with my Note5 , screenshot )
Gsam battery ,( see other 2 x screenshot ( taken on my rooted Note 3 , with custom ROM )
also notice in (re Note3 ) GSam setting screenshot that in sleep mode i got about 4% drainage re 10hrs standby !
Good luck
A lot is about the use...now I can get the same I had on LP with normal (for me)use :browsing, Tapatalk, some games, some Wi-Fi calling, texts, only Wi-Fi ...I wouldn't get the same with only games or Facebook or equivalent battery eater. Stock unrooted MM.

Hey,
Yeah I know. I have been a rooting fan since the beginning. My nexus 5 was rooted so was my note 3. This is my first phone that I haven't rooted, it's an accomplishment. Exactly, I am satisfied with my note 5 as well. Was very very happy actually but after the update the battery life has been a bit of a disappointment, otherwise it's great in terms of speed and smoothness etc. Even my iPhone lover friends are quite amazed at the performance of my phone with lollipop and even more with marshmallow.
I did the factory reset after some members on the G+ note 5 community pointed out but that didn't make any difference for me.
I did as you suggested, downloaded those apps and used the phone after 100% charge. Since yesterday was a holiday so I didn't use the phone much as I was on my laptop. So after taking off my phone at 12 in the noon I used it somewhat and had more than 50% left even when I woke up today. Used the 50% and right now I'm on 15% here are the screenshots of my usage. I usually charge my phone as it reaches 40 and charge it to around 80 85%.
I hope you can help me after seeing these. *fingers crossed*

Hey,
Thanks for your participation. Yeah I know all the depends on the use and I don't think my use is too heavy. As you can see in the screenshots I attached in the comment above. I use a little bit of social media, no Facebook though. Whatsapp, Instagram, Snapchat, g+, flip board, fb groups, messenger and some internet surfing and some texting and a little bit of texting and some short calls. No games. I have one two but I hardly play them.

hi,
Well we can try and id culprit /reason.
In app GSam top right in your screenshot you have time on etc.
You have to press drop down small icon and list will appear of options.
see screenshot. Then its up to you to monitor different options ?
Good luck

Hey,
I only have 3 options there, probably cause I'm not using the paid version.
I was thinking of downgrading to lollipop to see how it performs there now? Do you know how I can do that? Since I remember that there was a bootloader change when lollipop arrived and so after updating to lollipop, going back to kit Kat was quite difficult. Is it the same for marshmallow?

hi
Firstly, i also have GSam free version..!...... very strange.?
Yes, i have seen few post on XDA, re downgrading to Lollipop.
Unfortunately, i cannot help much with that. Just make sure it's for your model
N 920C..?. etc.
Also check via Google or so YouTube video how to do it.,!
Yes, the bootloader would have been updated? (. i think..)
Good luck

Well that is strange since I don't have any such options as you. :/
Yeah I have a 920c which is the international variant.
I'll try searching on that. Thanks a lot for your responses and help so far. Really appreciate it.
