So my battery life is at least 50% of what it was a couple days ago. The wake lock that everyone is getting has always been present for me and I'm getting even worse now.
Only thing different is I'm now rooted with kingo. I've installed xposed modules, adaway, palmary weather widget which updates every 3 hours, same as the BW widget I deleted, and a couple zooper widgets.
Anyone have battery drain using any of these?
sEnt from thE noTe 3
Lol. You guys are great
sEnt from thE noTe 3
find out what causing it
battery stat or something
Man. .I think it's something with kingo root. I've uninstalled basically everything and my phone will not sleep.
sEnt from thE noTe 3
Ok so...
I got my note 3 rooted kingo. Great. Installed safestrap..great.
Loaded some roms on...Great. played with them...great...
Kudos to everyone that contributes to all these different things so we can get the most out of our phones.
Back on topic.
So Im finding there is no utopia when it comes to using my note 3. This one has features that one doesnt have...etc etc
Basically what Im looking to do is extend the battery life. Im reading all these custom roms give everyone tons of extra time.
HOWEVER theres some bloatware I like and use. But most I dont.
What is the best way to get the most battery life out of my note 3 while its rooted? I saw agreat script or add on that you install and it deletes all the bloatware on load up...but I dont want it all gone.
Is greenify something also to consider???
Any ideas suggestions would be great.
Thanks
Greenify coupled with wakelock detector are the only 2 apps you'll ever need to increase battery life. Wakelock detector tells you what's waking, or keeping your device from sleeping. It even incorporates itself with greenify and allows you to hibernate it directly!
Any tips or tricks on what apps to greenify?
Im assuming wakelock detector is just an app that tells you whats doing what...then use greenify to hibernate it?
And Im assuming these 2 apps really only work best in root???
I never use greenify and I get a full days worth with moderate to heavy use...imo it's just 1 more app to mess with to make you feel good

agreed, my note 3 on any rom lasts 18 hours to a day. my max was 1d 6 hours. i dont think i nor most will ever be away from a charger that long. infact i find my self near charges and not charging because i know it will last till i go to bed or later.

Well everyday note 3 unrooted and stock outta the box loaded with apps and moderate use lasts 17-19 hours on 1 charge depending...
like 730am-1am following day. I was hoping to get it to last longer so at 1am Im not nervous about my phone being at 10% or so...plus at 5% aI think the camera doesnt work.
I've been flashing like crazy to find the best Rom for battery life but still haven't found one that gives me 4 hours or more screen on time. The most i've gotten out of my device is 3.5 hours screen on time.
I really would appreciate any kind of suggestion. THANKS

FireKat (kitkat) and Poprocks (lollipop). Follow the directions exactly and use his second post for how to make it run. Keep in mind it takes 3-5 days to settle in before you get the best SOT.

depends on what kind of experience your looking for, if you want the note 4 style launcher and icons i would say poprocks for sure, but if your looking for the note 5 launcher and icons with a slight addition to speed i would go with the new 5.1.1 roms, im using tekhds rom and getting about 6 hour sot
I've used firekat and was only getting around 2-3hr SOT, google play services wakelocks were destroying my battery life and for some reason the wakelock mod didn't help either. Decided to check out lollipop and got Tekxodus 5.1.1, has been working great, very fast and responsive and now SOT 3-4hrs, still wish I could get the 9hr SOT others get

battery life these days is more of the quality of the battery you get, the only reason some people get 6 hours and some people get 3 is generally because not all batteries are created equal, there are obviously some steps you can take to increase battery life but that takes more time to and effort to setup as it requires nitpicking at the rom itself and other various apps to save battery life
Actually I did try different batteries, Samsung and Anker...

FireKat ank4, Xposed with amplify and autostarts did the trick for me.
I went from struggling to get to 3 hours of SOT, to almost always exceeding 5 hours. The NLPWakeLock was KILLING me. I mulled over installing Xposed but there really isn't any way around it. It's the only way to kill that wakelock.
After installing Xposed and amplify to kill the NLP wakelocks, everything is back to normal. Google services is down to like the 3rd or 4th highest battery drain, and the screen is back at the top like it should be.
Now the next problem I'm running into is the CastSocketMultiPlexer getting stuck.

That (castsocketmultiplex) usually associates with casting apps like YouTube and Netflix to the chromecast
Yea, I just haven't figured out how to get that wakelock to not hang. I cast over netflix quite a bit, but sometimes the next morning it'll stick around for a bit. I hate having to constantly reboot my phone.
Oh yea, don't forget the "wakelock-fix" in here to get rid of the system update wakelock. That one is a real MF'r.
Android seems to have a LOT of wakelock problems, and they all seem to be google's fault. It's like every time they update google services they take 1 step forward and 3 steps back.
What really is up with Android phone and their battery life. This been bugging me for like forever and its 4:00 AM and i have to post.
Like my sister had s7 edge and just the general messenger apps IG, WhatsApp, telegram & Weechat. Rest are game for toddler. But all the time the phone been with her, her average SOT is like four hours and the BATTERY KEEPS ON DRAINING on Wi-Fi or Data and NEVER flats out. It only does when in airplane mode. Before you guys days uninstall the games, in the battery usage graph same with GSAMbattery, Android system is like up all the time. So it has to do with Android OS.
is Android really just like this? Do iPhones person better?
I have EXACTLY the same issue with my nexus 6 rooted. When my wifi is up, none stop drain and BBS doesn't show any unusual activity.
What going on guys?

With 4 hours screen on time that is about what you can expect. Mainly when using things like weechat which is notorious for uploading all it data over and over again to its servers in China. Then you have whatsapp which is done by facebook which are known for some of the worst coded apps for battery drain in the market.
Your biggest issue is the screen on time. $ hours is a bit ruff on a device. As the screen is the biggest thing to take up battery. Unlike the iphone which uses a less intense screen due to its lower quality res.

Bro, you should use an iPhone and see! It's much worse than Android. iPhone have less size batteries and you can hardly get through the entire day with one charge according to your usage. Although apple's implementation of background apps optimization is excellent, but still the battery life is less due to small batteries. I feel android is much better in terms of battery.

Totally agree.
You can add that android is still an open system which allows you to hard modify the system, apps behavior, etc.. So you can set your device especially for your daily use.
For example, the way I set my 2yo-phone gives me 8 to 10 hours SOT, which is faaaar from any Apple devices autonomy..

It's not especially the screen which tumble down the battery energy, not as much as touching it. Which will litterally eat your battery life..
So my question is, can the voice detection+voice commands be less energy-consuming than the touch-sensitive commands ? (while keeping an active detection)

No it's really mostly just the screen being on. You can test this by setting the device screen to never time out and let it sit. You will notice that it kills the battery.

If Weechat and Whatsapp were responsible for the drains, why don't they show up on battery usage as top drainers?
It's always Android System

That is generic which means apps system api or systems the app uses. Like say the LG tones app. It uses the system BT api and if it drains the battery then all you see is BT at the top.
After years of trial with all sorts of applications to kill apps, battery /juice saves, my ultimate solution on Samsung alpha, 1800amph only battery is conjuction of Greenify, follow up with SD Maid. Alternate day.
Excellent results. I'm rooted.

I'd say that you either have a battery that is past it's useful life, or you have some serious wakelocks going on. 2-2.5 hours SOT is awful. I bought my device used 9 months ago and can easily average 6-8 hours SOT over the course of 48 hours on battery (on stock 7.0 unrooted). I'm only now seeing a lower SOT with this current update to Google Play Services. And even now I still get 5-6 hours SOT in 48 hours.

I know the reason for my bad battery life. It's my signal. Signal here is spotty and if you leave town you lose signal all together. So my device spends most of the day looking for a stronger signal. SOT really doesn't mean much to me.

Yeah I normally keep late off. It doesn't help really. Signal is just too spotty. You can bounce between 2g,3g and lte in 5 min and never move. Then you have the times when the military blocks all GPS and unless you heard the announcement and turned GPS off that would also kill your battery. Then like I said once you leave town you have no signal for hundreds of miles.

How is 6-8 hours sot possible over 48 hours? I've tried different kernels, lineage/CyanogenMod, Pure Nexus, greenify, and even tried down clocking the CPU to 1.2 GHz or less at all times (shockingly, in normal use I couldn't tell the difference lol). Never got that much screen on time. I'm not even sure airplane mode would do that. My best was around 45 hours, but with about 3 hours of screen on time. And that was with the phone being less than 3 months old.
Currently I'm on stock Android, and getting 20 hours at best with 3 hours sot. At this point, I will say my battery is shot since it is a year old. But I'd love to see your settings and see if I could get close.

Here are screenshots of my battery use from March. 3 days with 6.5 hours SOT. I keep my screen at a relative 20% or so (lower at night). I have very strong signal (major city) And I use wifi about 65-70% of the time. I also actively moderate my screen touches (yes, they do indeed matter). I turn off NFC and I don't use BT. I also actively purge misbehaving apps (I refuse to install some, like Facebook) Other than this, I can't really say. Perhaps, I just lucked out and got a cherry of a system (with the exception of my headphone jack not working with mics...Grrr... and my camera's image stabilization Causing blur at certain shutter speeds)
Hi guys
I'm not discovering the fire but I want to make a little contribution for those who has bad sot (I was really annoying for me because I can understand the upsets users ones), this was my discoveries:
The first one and most important:
It seems that the phone is programmed for a certain time of use, I mean it has a maximum time for sot: 6 - 9 hrs so you have to use that time to spend it on screen time because the phone also uses the battery for other stuffs. So if you pretend to get 6 hours or more in more than 1 day you will become mad and taking the phone and throwing it throw the window.
The second one:
Continuing with the last point doesn't matter if you try to save battery reducing resolution or stuffs like that. I use every day performance mode at max resolution and sound quality. The important thing is manage very well the brightness so disable the 10%extra from performance mode. Actually I could reach 6 hours at 1% with a intensive use with wify, data, gps and stuff like that.
The third one:
It is unuseful try to disable things and apps from the phone, they are not important on battery usage except for brightness and (at least for me) AOD. This one drains my battery and I really don't know what to do with this so it is disabled for me.
And the fourth and last one:
It seems that the battery needs a intensive usage in order to get it max potential. Some days ago I use the phone heavily charging it with the dex dock and using the interface and I noticed before that the battery expand it life.
Well, I'm testing if a dark theme is useful or not in order to get better sot but mean while I'm pretty happy with the battery life (40 days of usage); at beginning was very upset with this.
Hope to be useful for anyone.
Cheers and my best regards and thankfulness for the help of the community.
Thanks man
What's this 10% extra thing you are referring to?

I advised her, but she doesn't care about getting more sot. That's all she uses the phone for I think, Facebook and Candy crush. Both of which are rubbish.
