Is anyone experiencing a warm back with s5 especially after a reboot? Is goes up to 99 degrees F and drains the battery but nothing else is running. Anyone know the cause? Thx in advance.
I haven't noticed any unusually high temps, it runs about as hot as my Note 2 would under similar situations.

Ok, do you know what the temperature would be under normal use? Wondering if I need to exchange mine which I don't want to do.
I've been emailing and browsing XDA for the last 20 minutes and its been sitting right around 85*F every time I've checked on it.
Have you checked what apps are running? I've noticed some warming when I have used the camera or internet extensively, but nothing like my GS3 used to.

No I haven't experienced that stuff. It runs very smoothly.
I'd recommend resetting the android os from settings 》 backup&reset.
The next level is to completely reinstall the operating system using Samaung Kies (download straight from Samaung website). Install usb drivers from samsung site.
Once kies recognized your phone, run a full backup if you have anything you'd wish to back up, then reinstall/intitialize phone software.

EVERYDAY PHONE HEATS UP...I FONT REMEMBER A PHONE EVER THAT HASNT.... IF IT IS NO BURNING U THEN FORGET IT.

Here is a graph showing the phones temp over the last 5 hours.
On the S4 upon initial boot up, the phone performs a media scan on of the internal storage and SD card. While this was happening, the phone would become noticeably warmer, I believe the same thing is happening to your S5.

Generally it shouldnt heat up. You should try a factory reset but heating is normally caused by a bad settled kernel in the firmware. Seeing as there are no custom kernels to replace it and stock firmwares to flash in Odin you could just factory reset.

i go a used D3 yesterday. a factory wipe was done, and it was already rooted for me. i rerooted it because i did not see superuser. i am running adw witch does run better then stock launcher but the phone over all is really laggy, kinda like my droidx on froyo was...
this is why i wish i had an SBF for 959, aside from a factory reset again, is there anything in i can do to try and make this run better? im wondering if it is slow because of something the previous user did? and the camera takes AT LEAST 6-7 seconds to load up EVERY time, and it takes for ever to get into focus sometimes...i hear great things about this phone, but so far im not inpressed at all..
thx all
The camera does open very slow. The phone shouldn't be lagging though. Only problem I ever had was with stock launcher. Don't know why this is happening to you.

Check your apps, might have a strange one.
Sounds like something is chewing up your CPU, restart phone and then do some tests and benchmarks, see if your getting average Droid 3 performance. This phone is faster then Tegra phones in most cases including games.
when we get some roms, kernel tweaks and cm7 then this thing will fly.

By the time we get CM it will be CM8.

I ended up going through almost every app i had and checking the refresh intervals to make sure it was limited. also i would limit the accounts you have synced and if you can use the 3rd party apps so you can get better control over how it behaves vs. letting motorola settings take over.
I've had mine for about 24 hours and it doesnt lag processor wise, of course without 4G some of the higher quality data transfer will be slower.

Hi I think I'm having problem with my galaxy Note, I went for a meeting and leave it on my desk doing nothing and make sure that I turned off the display.
But when I came back it was so hot! It feels like it never went in idle or something.
Then I check on battery usage, it was on running on battery for about 5 hours. then this Android OS was also running for almost the same time. So I'm guessing that it didn't go to idle mode and consumed my battery significantly.
Then I remember, before going in the meeting I was reading my google reader feeds, and I just turned off/locked my screen without closing the app pressing the home button. Does it matter?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
Not sure, but that could keep the Note from going to sleep, so use it some more and see if it still happens. If it does then you'll know, if it doesn't then install this and keep an eye on it (press menu and "App Sucker")
Ok. Thanks for the app suggestion!

I've used the badass battery monitor, for about 6 hours, the app said that kernel used 98% of the battery. Is this normal? I never used my note since I unplugged it on the charger with fully charged battery. And it drained 40%!! Even when I'm not using my galaxy note.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
Wow, no that's not normal. Mine says 3.2%. Are you rooted? What ROM do you use?
My note is not rooted... Only the stock rom I think. But I updated it when an update was available. My launcher perhaps? Keeps on draining my battery. This is really frustrating.
Any suggestions?

Guys, my sister has had her I9000 for a good few months now and everything was fine until recently.
She phoned me (knowing I like my phones) saying her battery life had become really poor over a couple days.
So I took the phone off her and updated it with Kies, so now it's running the latest Kies Gingerbread for that phone. I should point out it is not rooted, completely stock.
I noticed some crummy looking app's like Android Anti-Virus and Task Killer so removed them hoping one of them was acting the goat.......everything seemed to be going good until yesterday and she charged the phone all night until 8am and when it came to around 2pm the phone was flashing up with low battery alert. She said she had used twitter a little and browsed on the internet a while.
I have told her to get CPU Spy and look if the phone is going into deep sleep, yesterday it had 0% deep sleep and today it is saying 70% deep sleep even though the battery only lasted 6 hours before low battery warning...
Any ideas what I can do to track down where the problem is? Would she see better battery with ICS or a custom GB ROM?
Mine did this on stock ROM luckily mine lagged when I went into battery use it was Samsung app push update service or something like that but thanks to the lag it showed sleep lock before it shower that service I uninstalled then it could go back into deep sleep

it will root your device and install clockwork mod, should fix the battery issues though. Try flashing the CF root kernel via odin. Theres a tutorial in the thread.
After the odin flash, you can use titanium app for remove apps or system apps unnecessary
Hoping someone here can help me with an issue I keep having with my phone and no matter what I try, I cannot seem to solve this issue.
Last night, about 1am I went to bed, Phone was at 100% charge. This morning when I woke up, the phone was down to 58%. According to the power in settings, this is what has used the battery overnight.
Mediaserver 84%
Wifi 5%
Cell Standby 3%
Phone Idle 2%
Android OS 2%
Android System 2%
Screen 1%
Onavo Count 1%
I havent got an SD card in the phone and havent for over a week because I thought that might be the problem as others have said on here and I have next to no apps installed also so I cant figure out what is doing this
Im on android 4.1.2 and phone is not rooted. No further updates are available for me yet either over the air or connected to the PC via Sony companion software.
Anyone got any ideas what might be causing this?
Did you leave your earphones plugged in?

Sent from my C5503 using xda app-developers app
Ive not left my earphones in no and yesterday as a last resort I did a factory reset on the phone and Ive put no songs or hardly any apps on the phone and its still doing the same thing. Again, media server over night was responsible for over 50% of battery drain, this is 12 hours after a factory reset.
I give up with this phone now, it seems to spend more time plugged in on charge than being used

do you have lots of images on the phone? i used to have a similar problem with my s3. after i start up my phone i will let it sit for a while before i clear all my running applications. sometimes i do it before i hit the bed too. seems to help. not sure about XZ since i have not encountered such problem yet.
Its a completely clean factory reset from yesterday, so there are no images at all taken with the camera or stored, and no music/mp3s stored on the phone and no SD card attached either
just to double check, you are already on 4.2.2 right? I remember quite a number of people on 4.1.2 experience this problem (including me). most reported the problem was gone after updating to 4.2.2. i didnt get to try it myself as I sold my s3 even before 4.2.2 is officially out

No im still on 4.1.2. Thats the latest version available to me over the air or via PC companion (am in the UK) and am not sure I trust myself or if its easy to upgrade to the latest version any other ways
It's quite easy to fix though.
Just go to sound settings, and school down to the bottom. Disable all the checkboxes that are enabled.
That should get rid of that media thing in your battery stats

Wait for the second charge and check the mediaserver again.
If you upload and download videos or photos in whatsapp can cause this.
Download wakelock detector from playstore and post some screenshots.

Thanks for this, ill try it out now.
Well, it was almost back at 100% charge anyway so i installed wakelock detector, and did a reset. Once switched on, i let it time out and left it for two hours.
Just had a look now in the wakelock app and I have something which says:
AudioOut_3 - 2 hours 8 minutes x1 - thats pretty much the entire time my phone has been asleep. So i assume something is stopping my phone from properly sleeping. Plus in those two hours, my phone dropped from 100% down to 88% (Mediaserver responsible for 91% of the drain)
I have all phone sounds and vibrations off for keypresses and notifications etc.
All you can do is repairing your phone with sus or flash your phone with another firmware and try again.

Well, i upgraded to 4.2.2 yesterday, completely fresh install and charged my phone back to 100% again. Overnight, over 8 hours, phone again drops over 30% of the total battery, again, in the battery stats, nearly all due to media server. I got no idea what to do now

Ive not got any games installed on the phone at the minute and on the actual homescreen all i have is the google search bar and the weather app. Nothing else on there apart from the settings shortcut. Ive tried to be minimal in everything to try and track down what the issue is.
There is no music on the phone, no SD card installed and the phone is totally silent, no sounds, vibrations, nothing.
The culprit it seems again though, according to the wakelock app, is something called Audioout_3. Which has kept my phone awake for pretty much the entire night. but ive no idea what this is relating to
Maybe a faulty phone,send it back if you still have guaranty.

I'm having the same issue, like most threads I've searched for; I tried checking for any corrupt mp3s, pictures etc. I did multiple factory resets, Flashed CM10, Flashed Carbon ROM, even Stock ROM was useless. It's really beginning to frustrate me, doesn't anyone have a fix to this? Mediaserver battery drain threads have been going on since June 2012 or even before that!
this ain't normal right guys? since I rooted and play with the system, android os is always on the top of consuming the battery instead the display. ;(

I've done some digging around and found out that the Kernel has some long wake locks.
Namely :
bam_dmux_wakelock
msm_serial_hs_dma
msm_serial_hs_rx
I've never had these wakelocks before and they are popping up out of nowhere. My phone's battery was great when I first got the phone, but now its not as good anymore due to the phone not deep sleeping as much.

For those that are curious, install betterbatterystats from the playstore and you can see what is causing your phone to not go to deepsleep.
Same here, I already did a full wipe still happening, and I feel its affecting my battery. Going to give this a couple of days doing some different tests to see if I can nail out the issue.

Still don't know what causes it. The problem started right around when I configured lookout, so I uninstalled. I also disabled locations on any possible app but still no go.
Then got pissed, reinstalled lookout, enable location and stuff, pretty much everything stock, now the problem went away. No more android os on top, battery life is back. Don't know what to think of it, I'd like to know what exactly caused it.

having the same issue....
Didn't plug phone in over night (was at 100% when I went to sleep), woke up with it at 70%. That's a HUGE drain from Android OS.
Weird thing. I've played with the wifi settings, switched from dhcp to static ip and it disabled the connection due to slow conn mesage that appeared, although I was right next to the router. Anyways, I reverted back to automatic dhcp then just a thought to go back to processes and this is what I've found: android os for over 15 hours although i plugged the phone from charger about 5 hours ago...

Try removing the Samsung WatchOn app and disabling/deleting/freeze the system apk for it. I believe it's called "peel.apk"
It randomly goes crazy for me too. I just disabled the watch on app and the browser bar. Hopefully this helps as it constantly runs eating memory when I don't even use it
Android OS battery drain!
Hey Y'all,
So I've been having some really bad battery drain issues involving Android OS on my new Note 3. I've been looking around for days trying to find the culprit and stumbled upon this:
(SORRY, it's not letting me post the link I don't have enough posts so I'll change HTTP for hteeteep, mods I apologize but I can't easily summarize the processes and explanations offered on this page.)
hteeteep://gs3.wonderhowto.com/how-to/reduce-battery-drain-your-samsung-galaxy-s3-by-fixing-android-system-usage-0142361/
It has to do with gsiff_daemon a non-utilized but highly active GPS sensor daemon. I followed the instructions posted there and renamed the file. After that Android OS went back to normal % of CPU usage. When you look at CPU usage under developer option you can see that gsiff_daemon is constantly using resources. Since I disabled it my battery life has improved dramatically and I have yet to notice any "side effects". The phone works perfectly and all other apps are working properly. I think between this fix and staying away from "Enable location over Wi-Fi " should help most people with battery drain issues. I hope this helps!
