Note 3 started to drain terribly fast

Hi all there. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 which I think has started to drain terribly fast, so I go into the battery status to see what happened and it claimed the screen is draining most power. However I’ve turned down the screen all the time without auto brightness, but only one hour my phone has gone from full down to 80% without any use. I am into the slim mpj extended battery for troubleshooting but before I make the decision, are there any thing I can do to fix the problem? Thank you.

I would go to settings/connections/location services and make sure "Use wireless networks" is unchecked (it is a HUGE batt drain)-

I'm having this same issue. I can't figure it out. I turned everything off. Location, Wifi, wireless network. My phone gets hot and drains battery fast. I factory reset twice and still the same.

It might be the battery
Note 3 with FireKat V7

Theres a good chance it might also be Lookout. After my last factory reset, when i set it up, it was set to auto virus scan every 48 hours. Its a MASSIVE battery drain and lookout doesnt seem to show up in my battery stats either for scheduled scans.

Anyone have an N6 and a Moto360?

I'm experiencing excessive battery drain on my Moto360 since I got the N6. I used to go all day and by bedtime I would still have 20% charge, now it's completely dead by 4pm.
Trying to diagnose an issue with mine specifically or if this is an issue with the N6.
Thanks!

I've noticed slightly worse battery life as well. But, I'm not sure if it's because it's paired with the N6 or if it's Wear 5.0. I got jumped from the G3 to the N6 and never even got the 360 update until I got the N6. So it's hard for me to say. That being said, there's definitely something causing battery drain on the 360. Mine is nowhere near as excessive as your battery drain though. I'd just try and reset it if I were you.

I did a reset last night and I got the 5.0 update this morning. By 10am I was down to 38% battery. No idea what the issue is, hopefully the update will solve it. Also reset my phone thinking there may be an issue there and reinstalled the apps.

I haven't tested since 5.0 update, since I just got the update yesterday, but prior to that I didn't have an issue and only charged my 360 every other day and sometimes not until late on the 2nd day. Not sure what would be causing it other than an app being open and constantly syncing or pushing notifications constantly.

Battery on my 360 lasted all day with my moto x. With the nexus, its dead.

No trouble here. In fact, I'm getting slightly better battery life after the update to the watch a few days ago.
I did encounter something similar when I first got my watch. In my case, it was an Android Wear game I installed that had crashed after starting it on the watch, and must have kept running something in the background. I uninstalled the game, and haven't had battery troubles since.
Watch has been off the charger for 8 hours, and has 56% battery left after heavy use today.

I am with 80% after hours. nexus 6: 5.0.1, moto 360 5.0.1

All good with mine, Nexus 5.0.1 and Moto 360 5.0.1 Build LWX48T

Nexus Launcher - Battery Drain?

So my battery has been draining at an alarming rate lately, up to 20% an hour, even with the screen off. The only new app I've installed lately (besides BBS once the issue started) was the leaked Google Nexus Launcher a week or two ago. Has anyone else who installed it seen a change in their battery life? Or perhaps some other app that got updated recently and has been killing their battery too?

In settings - battery you can see what's draining the battery.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 Battery Draining Fast!

Hi I noticed that my watch battery drains so fast. I charged it at noon and finished the charging at around 1 PM and after 4 hrs of not even using it much, it's down to 65%.
I would like to return the watch if the battery drains like this so fast. Any advice?

This was my fear about buying the watch. My Galaxy Watch lasts about 6 days on a charge. Try factory resetting it, maybe. Something might be stuck running.

How long have you had it? There is a period where you are playing with it more (without realizing it) and it also takes the battery several charge cycles to balance out the battery and measurement.
To troubleshoot:
Go into the Galaxy Watch app on the phone and look and see what is draining your battery. If it's a watchface, change it to test. If you don't notice anything unusual, factory reset the watch and do NOT restore the backup. Run it for some time in a "vanilla" format (no apps / watchfaces / no modified settings). If it STILL drains .. you might have an issue.

I have the 45mm LTE SM-R845U. Have LTE on, WiFi on, Bluetooth on and connected to my Note 10+. Currently 1 day 14 hours 14 min on battery and setting at 34% battery available running in standard power mode.

Thanks Wattsja! I'll do it today.

I'm actually playing around with "I'm Alive" for a true AOD. I'm still analyzing, but my current burn is @4% an hour with a constantly visible second hand (the non-continuous quartz motion). That's a 45% OPR, for the nerds (vs. Samsung limitation of 15% in dim mode).
I have a much more involved work around that is potentially a little better, as I suspect an active display looking for touches and gestures is a significant battery drain in this scenario. If I can get the burn down to 3% per hour, I might just keep this watch

I agree pretty much what others are saying here. Batteries need time to settle, and there's a lot more interaction with your new toy and lots of stuff updating and installing, far more than you think. It's exactly the same with phones.
So give it a few days and you will see it improve to your expectations.
.

I experienced intensive battery drain. Bluetooth seemed to be in a faulty status. Watch battery duration was less than one day (SM-R800 46mm). Solution was as simple as unpairing the watch and re-pairing. No need to reset.
In a previous occasion battery drain was simply due to Wi-Fi on.

Samsung Galaxy Note8 SN-N950W Extreme battery draining Issue

Hey there, so recently I got a Note8 since my mom switched to a Galaxy Note20 Ultra and she gave me her old phone since I had a J3 before. She had it for 2 years and now when it was given to me I found some extreme battery draining issues, I watched MrWhoseTheBoss' video and in 1 hour the Note8 drained to 91% however in 1 hour MY Note8 drains to about 60%-40%. Also when I'm not using it the battery drops like I'm playing Asphalt 8. Any solution to this? I checked battery usage and nothing is out of the ordinary. The highest usage is Instagram at 2-hour drops 20% but I only use it at night and this battery problem is during the day. For most of the school, I keep it in my pocket and only use to listen to music. The battery still drops extremely fast. My friend has an S8 and his battery is much better than mine.
All I need to know is if this is a software issue, or a hardware issue as the battery sometimes runs out and I boot it up to 15% or something close to that.
If it's a software issue please help me down in the comments, I have turned off location, limited CPU speed to 70%, and disabled background usage.
Thanks.

It sounds to me that you need a battery replacement.

This is normal in my opinion. Even if the battery was only a year old, I'd say that is normal without proper power management.

My note8 is the same and the owners they had it before me, i don't know how much they played games with it, but how much i know about tech my note8 have never changed that battery and never was open back cower and the battery is still good up to two days average use, but i don't use apps like twitter, Facebook, Instagram or any social apps, only Viber that's all, the twitter, Facebook, or other thing i check on web-browser and that why battery should bee good.
The apps i mention up, i consider them partly spyware, battery-mongers, personal data movement mongers.
Btw, make a screenshot of your phone screen,\battery usage after the battery has drain to about 20% so we can see if we can have any conclusion to it, and pres this code (*#21*#) and call in keypad, make screenshot to see if someone is lurking on that phone on background.
