Note 5 battery problem - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, for some reason my note 5 (SM-N9208) only lasts for 11 or 12 hours. It is getting really annoying. Shouldn't it last longer? I don't heavily use it. I would say I medium use and occasionally heavy use it.

Ive got same problem. There is already threads about it. Note 5 has problem to go to deep sleep mode.

Wifi and random reboots

I seem to have figured out that my persistent random reboots happen when
1. My phone is idle
2. When I'm not home
3. When I'm not connected to my home wifi
I have auto wifi installed. I'm going to uninstall it and monitor my phone when i leave the house later.
Can anybody else who have the random reboot problem confirm if the conditions i've listed above are similar to yours?

Yes to the first 2, but I have an SGS2. Solved it by moving to a better rom

You also have nummber 2. Do you have wifi at home?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
It's been 5 hours since I left home. No random reboot so far. Looks like auto wifi is the culprit. Not sure if it's conflicting with something. Will post another update by the end of the day.
No random reboot in 12 hours. Guess it's safe to already assume that auto wifi did infact cause it for me.

Battery drain after restarting note on 4.0.4

My battery has been sluggish right after updating 4.0.4. Right after restarting my device, i left only 20% of battery instead of 90% before restarting. Im getting sick n tired of samsung. Thers always a problem after software update. Im wondering wether they ever tested their software before releasing it to consumer. LOUSY

Calibrate your battery.
Let it empty untill blackout. Take out battery for 2 min then put it back again, and charge it to full, do not push the on button while charging.
My suggestion is to install and SPYCPU podesiš processor clock so you would not spend the battery more than they need. We also have a large selection governo, naćićeš best balance of performance and battery life.
Thanks jonpaslim! i will try to do that and will update the results

The total of 1 week I was on both OS builds I had these issues that I identified to be the battery:
Facebook

and then not going into deep sleep (the phone gets warm)
Badass Battery (now another name, but you can still search Badass battery) and BBS (Better Battery Stats) helped me.
Thanks zkye.
So far i hv been using pretty alot of apps. Been using carat,netqin and cpu spy. Well the batt is still i would say average.. Im wondering how to read this thing on cpu spy. Especially the deep sleep graph. Is it sufficient? Or am i doing the wrong thing or what?

You can check version in settings, then about phone in bottom Guess you are on stock. Be carefull wiping, factory resetting and deleting large files as kernel can trigger a bug in emmc chip, corrupting partitions.
good you started analysing root causes. Always best case.
now if you dont care for warrantee you can follow directions from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29139461 to get back to starting point of install. Or to install the awesome speedmod kernel.
Alteratively you can add apps one by one and together with battery usage analysed you can fin culprits. With tools like betterbatterystats, cpu spy and badassbattery monitor
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
did you try re-calibrating your battery?
Hi xfox,
Done with calibrating as in let it empty, take out the batt for a while then turn it on again. It seems okay for now. Is there any other way instead? Im sorry for asking this stupid question again and again. And thank to all of ya for replying my so called newby question. Lol.

Thanks baz,
How i wish i could use those speedmod kernel and so on. Well im quite afraid to root it cuz im not too sure that im gonna use this phone for a long time. As the phone value will decrease if i void the warranty. But thx for replying my post tho. As for now im still monitoring my batt behaviour.

Galaxy Note problem
When I got my Galaxy Note, the battery used to last for 10 hrs on GB. After upgrading to ICS, that time dropped to 8 hrs. And after ICS updates, it went down to less than 4 hrs since it was discharging much fatser than charging, and it was the same whether I used the original power charger or direct USB cable.
The original charger is an adapter + USB cable.
Everything went fine when i changed the USB and used the one originally used to charge the Sony 3D glasses.
Now it's charging normally and the discharge rate is around 8% /hr with WIFI and mobile data ON.
Hope it will work for you.

Battery drain after boot?

Ive tried to search the forum but cant find an answer. If there is. I appologize but please lead me there.. thanks
Issue is. Everytime or most of the time after restarting my phone my battery will go down dramatically like from 70% down to 40%? But after like 30 mins it will go back up. Any idea how to fix this?

This is a common problem with the not, the only solution is to buy a new battery (unless the phone isn't older than 9 months).

[SOLUTION] Phone shutting down with battery not empty

This solved my problem regarding the phone turning of at 50% battery or 37% etc. You will see after applying the settings the battery percentage will change and show the real battery life.
I got this solution from a Google tech.
1) Power off your phone.
2) Press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons. This will put the phone in fastboot.
3) Use the Volume buttons to scroll through the menu until you see "Bootloader logs"
4) Press and hold the power key for a long time (7+ seconds) until the phone reboots.

After days and days of searching and trying a zillion things without success and just as I was ready to RMA the phone I stumbled upon this suggestion in the Google forums. It was posted by a Google tech somewhere in the middle of a really big thread that I couldn't find again. No I didn't find this by myself but wanted to share for users to be able to find it easily.

I returned my phone a few weeks ago because of this issue and got a replacement from Motorola . I do notice certain kernels will create this situation moreso than the stock rom or stock kernel will not create this issue so that's also something to think about.
However, thanks for the insight should my replacement phone display the same symptoms.
Edit: interesting, I just tried your suggestion and my battery went from 91% to 66%.
I am on the validator kernel using the suggested settings.

That's good. It means that your battery would have died at about 25%.
Let me ask you? Are you using a wireless charger?

On occasion at work but not at home. Sounds like another cause. Why would it if I may ask?
I actually find them to be silly as you must plug the charger base via USB which I can do with phone! Just another step IMHO including finding the sweet spot when resting on charger.

Also raises another question: those turbo chargers. I have 3 from moto and use at home. I don't think however as phone seems to charge correctly and capacity seems to register correctly.

I will be using the phone for 6-7 days without the wireless charger to see if the problem comes back. If it doesn't I will then use the wireless charger and see if problem shows up. This is an issue with a lot of people and many of them have RMA'd the phone just to realize that the problem came back and it's not a hardware issue.

By using a regular 5v charger instead of the idiotic 5/9/12v charger that came with it.
I am having the below issue.
1. If phone is around the 30% mark, and I receive a call, it would just switch off.
2. If i reboot the phone with it being around 30% mark, it will just switch off after displaying the lockscreen.
Is this behavior that is same as the one in the thread?
I tried the mentioned steps and my battery percentage stayed the same. It also shows the same battery percentage in TWRP.

Yes exactly the same problem. Keep pushing the power button a few seconds longer after phone switches off. My problem was fixed but a week later it came back. For others it was fixed permanently. There's a lot of people with this problem and they keep increasing. I fear that certain wireless chargers are causing it. Are you using a wireless charger?

No I am not using any wireless charger. I only use the turbo charger at home and a 2A N7 charger at work.
I am waiting for 5.1 and will run it for a few days to test . Hope that 5.1 will fix this issue.
Also Google suppport asked me to reboot into safe mode and see if the issue is still there.
Just tried this and it went from 82 to 85%.
I have an issue where the phone turns off at 5%
I have this problem currently with my N6 and it is beyond madding.
First it would do it only when the phone was getting to 30~35% tried the fix.
Now the phone crashes it all the time. 80% crash, charge for a little bit use again 85% crash, charge to 100% use streaming a movie from google play 65% crash. now im going to try a custom rom to see if that will fix it.
tried the fix several time only seems to make it worse.
even with a blank install after reinstalling the stock img the phone will crash.

battery life and roms

i have note 3 n900A AT&T and using android 4.4.2 NC2 rooted. My battery screen on time is 3.5 or max 4 hours. IS it normal then ok . if not then which rom is best that's good in performance and battery life too
I upgrade to Lollipop and with light use I'm usually at 87% by the time I leave work at 5:15 PM and unplug it from charging at 7:30 AM. I love Lollipop even more than Kit Kat. Just wish I could root easily but it's a work phone and i don't want to wipe, flash, etc.

I'm all stock and 30-50 minutes of screen time and 45 minutes of calls along with 2-3 dozen texts, etc. Like I said, that's when I leave work at 5:15 or so. By the time I go to bed I'm usually around 65-70% and use the screen another 35-45 minutes. I use my tablet way more than my phone...
I didn't feel like rooting this phone as #1 it's a company phone and #2 with no way to unlock the bootloader, the time to root, wipe, catch grief from mt IT guy ain't worth it.

Yeah I already done that. Question, can I leave 4.4.2 on the stock ROM slot and flash OC1 on slot 2? Reason I'm asking is my wife's SD card slot is busted don't work, I don't wanna wipe the system because I'm afraid it'll wipe off the OC1 zip and there I'll be stuck.

It usually never gets that low, but I'll use it more today and let you. BTW, when I'm connected to a strong WIFI signal all day or strong LTE the battery seems to last forever. However, in weak LTE/WIFI there's a noticeable difference, not earth shattering but noticeable.

OEM Battery, bought about a month ago. Old battery started to malfunction and couldn't hold a charge. It's legit, I Greenify all my apps and keep power saving on. If you keep sync off you can get really good battery life.
