Note 5 SM-N9208 Battery Drain and Overheating - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys! Can you help me? My note 5 is experiencing major battery drain while my phone is in standby and when Im using it. I used Greenify but it isnt working. And then when I turn on my mobile data, the phone is getting ridiculously hot like super hot that I feel it going to explode like the Note 7. This is my number 1 issue in the Note 5. :confused Please help me fix this!

I have Same problem

Having the same issue with my battery. I did fully charged it last night and turn on the airplane mode with wifi off.. after 7 hours of not using it it consumes 45% of my battery and when i checked what consumes that it says "device idle". My phone is rooted with a kernel from root sick which in my knowledge came with a deep sleep function. I also have greenify installed and select all of my apps to be hibernated when the phone is not in use.. i disabled all bloatwares and most of the system app using package disabler. Hope somene recommends whats best. Many thanks

Do the note 5's come with Knox? If it does then you might try getting rid of it. I did this on my wifes old tab 4 and it drastically improved battery life and heat as the tab did get warm. After removing knox, not only did the battery life improve but thr tab stayed nice and cool.

[Q] Galaxy note huge battery consumption

Hello Everybody.
recently I noticed that My Galaxy Note eats very much battery even in sleep mode.
from 12 at night till 8 at morning it eats 30 percent battery.
I install a clean version of N7000JPLA1 middle east version and factory reset my phone after flash. it went good.but after I only open samsung apps (samsung apps update itself and samsung accout) it starts eating too much battery again.
What should I do?
anybody else has this problem?
untick the Samsung PUSH from market and firmware update. and if you want more disable autosync. I have noticed that when I had a update for a app from SAMSUNG store it would eat another battery even it was night and phone should have 1% every 1:45-2:45 hours depends of the synchronization, but it was eating 3-5% every hour. hope it helps you

Sorry Can't help.
does anybody have this issue?
There is nothing normal about what is going on.
The very likely reason for sudden increased battery consumption is recently installed apps that have created background services.
Before you go to bed, try this:
task manager>open apps> close all
task manager>ram> clear memory
settings>applications>running services> close all unnecessary services

[Q] battery drain - can't identifiy despite bbs

hey guys,
i have a problem with my i8190 since i've bought it... the os is draining battery and i'm loosing about 20% battery over night...
i've tried several things:
installed newer official versions from samsung
deactivated nearly every app
calibrated battery
tried benzrom
tried juicedefender
but still no success.
can you identify something in my bbs??
thx in advance
I have the same problem, i had a full charge at night, then i woke up and the phone had 50 % battery, GPS, Bluetooth, Wifi were off and it drained half my battery, also installed CPU spy, and i notice that my phone is not going into deepsleep, i only have 5 hours of deepsleep and dont know when that was, i have the latest firmware, anyone else having this issue?
It's normal for this phone. Put the phone in airplane mode at night helps me with battery drain, just 2% juice gone.

install adaway
should decrease the battery drain and free up some memory in the process
Well for mine it was an app called Jango, for some reason this app after quitting it wouldn't let the phone go to deep sleep, removed the app and now its going to deep sleep.
Use JuiceDefender or or try to change your brightness level.
Please reply to my better-battery-stats...
I has nothing todo with screen brightness
thanks for the tip with adaway... i'm already using it... but no success
@kicker63: this can't be, when i see people having the s3 mini with up to 4 days usage

Your battery might be defective i guess, if deep sleep is that long and you're losing battery, i guess u have to blame the battery
I don't believe people get upto 4 days usage, if they do they hardly use the phone. Most people on here say about 1 days usage is common. Screen brightness on full will drain your battery more quickly.

i'm going to replace the battery...
since it's nearly all the time in deep sleep it really looks like the battery is defective
i think this thread can be closed
It's a long shot, but I also experienced a lot of problems using Viber.. JuiceDefender etc wouldn't solve it, betterbatterystats wouldn't detect it, ...
Just noticed after a while that my sudden battery drains were triggered as soon as I received a message on Viber.
I also heard about facebook apps draining the battery.
Maybe you should first try to reset it to factory settings before asking a new battery?
Good luck with your phone, I know it can be frustrating..

If you're rooted, use greenify to stop facebook from running in the background during sleep
resetting the phone wouldnt help since he is getting almost 99% deep sleep reported in BBS

Viber was the culprit in my case. Eating battery like a hungry monster :silly:

Is horrible battery life normal?

Hello I recently picked up a s5 that is on the latest update ANG3 and the battery life is far from anything to brag about. I mean like maybe 7hours with an hour of screen on time before the phone is at 20%. I have done some searching and all I see are wake locks and not going to deep sleep cause problems but I'm not seeing either of those in my battery stats. I disable many apps that aren't needed such as lookout and many of the bloat apps hoping one of those was the cause but still to no avail
I'm at a loss as to what to check now any help would be appreciated
I can usually go 2 days without charging and have 4 hours of screen on time. Maybe you have a defective unit with a bad chip?
At work my phone lasts all day, recharge at night. On weekends I don't even charge it, it will hold a decent charge over a 3-day weekend. Running DK 3.0, nothing special beyond that.
hey guys, battery drains depends upon each and every single option you tap on ! even the signal clash may cause battery to drain faster and enabling mobile data wil drain much...
if you want your battery usage to be controlled, jus root your s5, and clock it using, no frills
you can flash a custom kernel to make it much better !

Yes, because our LOCKED bootloader enables us to run a CUSTOM kernel.

jus uninstall the **** you've installed !
install no frills cpu or set cpu from playstore. it wil claim for root permission. grant it....
then keep set the maximum clock frequency values to the max and minimum clock frequency values to the min. and select governor as power saver....
learn much abt it in google
that's it...your're done.

That is unusually bad. Even out of the box (with all the crap enabled) I could go almost all day.
gsam battery monitor, better battery stats, and wakelock detector should all help you find offenders. I also found the 'top' utility in elixir to be useful to me because I would see Security Storage peg the cpu frequently (phone would even get warm), but the other utilities tend to lump that in with Android System. (In my case that was mostly caused by the newest Amazon appstore app).
If you can't find a specific app that is a problem that you can just remove, the really useful tuning needs root, to freeze bloat, unbounce wakelocks (the Unbounce xposed module is the greatest thing since sliced bread), fully utilize greenify, and so on.
It's possible, if you got a used device, that you have a crappy battery (maybe someone bought a cheap knockoff battery and put it in there).
I'm not a battery saving expert by any stretch of the imagination...but I've been playing with my biggest battery consumer...
Google play services....
I shut it down for 12 hours today...and improved my battery life by 27% over yesterday..
Just my observation on one of the many services that force our batteries into extinction...g

At my wits end with my Note5's battery. Please help!

Hey everyone!
I got my Note5 near launch day. I love everything about it, except the battery life.
Basically, I am not satisfied. I barely make it through the day with moderate usage. The crux of my problem is idle/standby battery drain.
This has been a problem for me ever since I got my Note5 and even for some of my old phones (M8 on Lollipop).
The Issue: I'm fine with how the battery drains when I'm actively using it. I'm not going to go into much detail about that, but I'm satisfied with how fast I seem to be killing the battery while using it. The part I'm not satisfied with is how much the battery drains when I'm not using the phone. Obviously, this must be an issue with wakelocks. When you look at the screenshot below for Android OS, it is always wake for more than 2.5+ hours in a 15 hour usage period. Now, I'm not sure if that's normal anymore. I don't remember how it was on KK, nor do I know if that's what everyone else is getting.
The Issues Cont: So yeah I have massive idle drain. (I estimated that I get about 1.5-1.6% battery drain per hour. I charged my phone up to 100% and let it sit idle overnight for a span of about 8 hours or so. It went from 100 to 91 during that time). What this means for me is that, I can use my phone less and less because while it sits in my phone, it dies quickly! On GSam, it shows that my battery discharged 38% while the screen was off! Again, I don't know if this is 'normal'. What is everyone else getting?
What I tried: I tried factory resetting. Nope. I tried reflashing the firmware, factory resetting. Nope. I booted into safe mode and left it idle overnight. Still dropped to about 92% or so, IIRC. I actually had the GS6 Edge before the Note5, but I returned it because of the ****ty battery life. Then I inserted my S-pen backward and broke the sensor in the Note5, so I got a replacement. For each instance, I always got crappy battery life. So I am doubting that this is a hardware issue. I tried minimizing the apps installed so minimize wakelocks, but it didn't seem to help.
What I want: Honestly, I just want to be able to use my phone and have it not drain so much while it's in my pocket or on the desk. I want to be able to go into a lecture for a few hours and come out with maybe 1% drain, not 3% or 4%. And I want to do this without rooting. I don't want to trip Knox, and I'm tired of rooting and spending hours tinkering with my phone to get decent battery life.
Attachments: I uploaded screenshots of almost everything I thought would be pertinent. Please have a look and hopefully we can compare results and figure out whether this is normal for a Note5 or not!

I reckom its something you are downloading is doing it. Add one app at a time and see what it does.

Yes there is something keeping your device awake. Rogue app. First guess would be that Facebook messenger app. Look in settings for your running applications, try to limit those to ones you absolutely need using package disabler. If you don't know what's OK to disable, read through the debloating guidelines thread.

Never let Facebook or Games run in the background and MOST IMPORTANTLY disable location services completely. Keep it on a toggle and turn it off until you need it. Always keep it off or Google will ping your location once every minute. It literally halves battery life.

I don't have the Official Facebook app installed.. And I almost always keep location services off, but the battery still drains as it does..
Use the smart manager app to stop certain apps from running in background and restrict background data for apps that don't need it in the mobile data settings.

My battery is amazing and I can say this as I am a battery guru and have spent countless hours trying to squeeze all the juice out of my devices, which includes eliminating wake locks. If you had root you could figure it out, without root you'll have to start un installing apps 1 at a time until it get's better. Also check your exchange accounts.
I assure you something is wrong as my battery life is the best of any phone I've had.

This probably won't be helpful at all as it is a complete shot in the dark, but perhaps you have an app that is trying to get your location continually since you have it off? Maybe try leaving location on. I never turn it off and I've been getting very good battery life on my T-mobile Note 5.

I also tried leaving location on as well. I can't really see an improvement as well. I actually only recently kept location off.

Note 5 SM-N920I battery drain issue, Nougat 7.0

hello,
just updated my note 5 to nougat 7.0.
realised there is a significant battery drain.
during my 9 hr of sleep, battery level dropped from 90% to 70% with mobile data off, GPS off, Bluetooth off, NFC off, sync off, google location service off.
I tried clearing cache and Dalvik cache, didn't work.
I tried resetting app preferences, didn't work.
kernel and android system takes up most of the battery

1)Your probably facing deep sleep issue but AFAIK deep sleep is already fixed there in official nougat 7.0 by sammy, Primary solution you can try is to factory reset your device If not helps
THEN
2)Either wait for next official OTA release for your device Or Try any custom pre-rooted rom with Deep-Sleep Fixed on side of kernel
I have the same problem as you. My battery drain is horrible. I get maybe four or five hours before I have to plug it back in. When I have my Note 7 I could take it off the charger at 7 in the morning and at 10 at night when I got home I still had about 70% battery. I sent mine back for the recall about 4 months ago still haven't got my money back from Samsung. As I wait for that check I bought another Note 5 and flashed the Note 7 ROMs the S8 plus ROMs and every other ROM and this phone just has the worst battery life especially after using the Note 7. The best thing to do is find a light type ROM with a lot of bloatware uninstalled and run Greenify

You know I just bought a Galaxy Note 5. AWESOME price. And was made Feb 2017.. wow. I did by one a week before that. It was N920a. Made 2015. WOW was it slow. And still on Android would never update. So sent it back.. got this on N920I and was on 6. I never read anything about battery problems. And it updated to 7 RIGHT away. Loved it. I tried 2 programs ..had to do with themes. WOW the battery drained SO fast. NOTHING was running. So I deleted what I put on. Those two.. and over night only lost 3%. I cant speak for "ROMS". I ALWAYS root and put on some ROM. But this time.. I am going to wait. Right NOW is AWESOME.
Trust me.. had a Google Pixel... duh had to give it to kid that moved.. to get a job at Microsoft.. YES. So all I was using was ZUK Z2..which had a AWESOME battery.. only go down 1%. Oh.. but the camera.. when I use the Note 5....WOW..
So..there are THINGS programs we ALL love to stick on.. SOME can be.. as in my case be the problem. Theres just no way those two programs in my eyes could effect the battery. But reset over and over.. putting them on then not.. They were the problem.
