note 3 battery life issues - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Been having weird battery life issues the last week or so. Like this morning I pulled it off the charged dropped down to 92% within 5 mintues of taking it off the charger. Then last night it said it had 30% battery life left and then suddenly turned off I turned on the case charger and it showed the battery was dead and now charging once I turned it on. Have factory reset and reset the battery life stats and no change. Ordered 2 new batteries to be on the safe side. Have 3 batterys need to try it on all 3. I know for sure it happens on 2 of them gonna try it on number 3 here in a bit.
update
put the 3rd battery in and so far been at 100% longer then the other 2 ever where. So battery issue. Will leave post for others that have similar problems

Broken battery problem? Fast drains and incorrect capacity display

I'm worrying about my battery. The main thing is, it drains really fast. In flight mode and nothing else on it drains like 2% each hour. So overnight, most of the time it drains like 16%. Today i started with 100% in the morning. Used GPS for 1 hour, made a phonecall for 20mins in total time. My battery indicator said there was 30% left :/ I know this thing eats batteries, but this is insane. Because i noticed an incorrect display of the battery the last few days i gave it a soft reset. After the reset i saw the battery had only 4% left, not even 30%, but 4! :|
Many times when the phone is saying i have 'insert number' percentage of battery left it's incorrect. Because when i give it a soft reset, it changes the number. Sometimes i get more percentage back, and sometimes it drops.
One hour ago i plugged it on the charger, checked 45min ago, and it was still on 31% battery :| Then, like 10min later i suddenly saw a green light from my phone and it was full.
I've never had a device with a broken battery and i don't know the symptoms, but is this normal or is it likely that my battery is dying?
A little kick!

[Q] NEED HELP - battery issues with my galaxy note gt-n7000

i bought my galaxy note 3 days back. except for battery issue , everything else is fine.
problem - charging drops below 85% from 100% immediately after unplugging. this happened yesterday and also today....i charged the phone while sleeping ( 1 am to 8 am ).....charging dropped from 79% to 100% imediately after unplugging....
i could use some advice about correct charging methods - can i charge the phone when battery is 50% drained or should i wait for the battery to completely drain??
with lithium based batteries you definitely do not need to completely drain the battery before you recharge it.
As I understand it there are two possible explanations here:
1) Your battery is broken. If nothing in 2) helps, get a replacement battery.
2) Your battery stats have gotten screwed up somehow.
Depending on what version of android you're on this can be fixed by either:
a) doing nothing for a few days and seeing if the stats start behaving normally. I would recommend you start with this.
b) wiping your battery stats. There are a bunch of apps that can do this, or you can do it from CWM.
If you do wipe your battery stats, your phone will probably report weird battery usage for a couple of days. See a).
Hope this helps.

Battery Life, an interesting observation

Hi devs, as I know there are many people complaining about battery life, I wanted to share an observation and also ask for an explanation behind it... My Note used to last around 2 days when I got it but after updating to JPLA1, it started to die on me in less than 24 hours.
I didn't want to factory reset. One day the battery died on me completely and phone turned off. After recharging, I'm getting about 1% battery drain per hour on standby... if I chargr the phone before it shuts off due to an empty battery, I'm back to 4-8% battery drain per hour on standby (all other settings the same)... I have been able to reproduce this effect many times... Is this a kernel issue or do I need a new battery?

[Q] Phone switches off even though it showed 40% battery

Have a peculiar problem, The phone drains off faster than usual for last few days. In couple of instances it showed 40% battery and suddenly the phone got switched off. When i switch on it showed 0% battery and again got switched off. When i put on charger it was back to 40%.
Also full charged battery drained to 25% in 5 hours, earlier it used to come atleast a day. Battery also looking a bit fatty in its surface. Any pointers if this is the battery problem or any calibration issues? I use the stock kernel - 2.3.6 and this is there since few months. The problem started only few days back.
This happened to me too and it turned out it's a battery problem.
When I changed my battery, everything went back to normal.
If you know somebody who owns a similar battery, you can test it on your phone.

battery dead or?

Well bought this phone back in mid 2017,and because of sickness I haven't used it that much at all.
I charged the battery 11 times so far and was keeping the phone in a desk drawer.
A month ago I noticed that the phone won't turn on,so I plug the charger on and charged the battery to 100 %.
I supposed that the phone was on,I didn't turn it off,and the battery left to 0% and shutdown the phone.
I really can't say how long it was on 0% (suppose like maybe a month).
Today I noticed very bad battery results.
Batterylife with GSam Battery Monitor is around 12 h only.
Was the "bolded text" the reason that battery died or the reason was not using the phone for 2 years?
Is there a software to check the damage of the battery?
I installed accubattery pro but for some reason doesn't offer me Health status of battery.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I would give the battery a few full cycles to see it that sorts it or yes, the battery it would seem is on its last legs. I don't know what app to recommend as an alternative though. (My battery is 23 months old and still performs as it did when I brought the phone)
I would drain it to 5% (maybe 1%) then charge it to 100% (without using phone while charging) a few times.
Then see how it goes. Afterwards charge phone from 20% or 15%.
Ok.I will charge it to 100% and report you with results with duration time on battery and you tell me how bad is it
GSam Monitor:
Battery Life: 3d 19.9h (5h 26m active)
