hi all..
2 weeks ago I finally bought my very first android based HH, GNOTE...currently I'm running on ICS LPF Taiwan unroot, and very love it. one of my concern on this ICS, is the battery drain so much, considering it just sit on my pocket.
i have CPU Spy and BBS Installed, and found that it just Deep Sleep 48% and 200MHz 37 %. Kernel Wakelock is "multipdp" 25% Power Manager Services 21,2% and secril_fd-interface 19.25.
could you please tell me what causing this battery drain so much..?
The best thing that you could do is do a Factory Reset, but with all the bricking problems it's highly discouraged. I don't recognise the processes, but you should make sure that you deleted all the apps you never use, since one of then could be causing the problems you have.

After upgrading to German ICS, also had problems with wakelocks (phone never sleeped)
Done this (posted on XDA somewhere) and it worked:
Turn Flight Mode ON
Turn Off the Phone
Take out the battery for 30 secs
Plug battery back
Turn on the phone
Wait until all is loaded and turn off Flight Mode.
Also, always disconnect from the charger with screen ON and unlocked.
After using this 2 metods, never had a wakelock again (multipdp etc)

thanks a lot for both of you....
will try these steps.....and will comeback with the result....

i've tried those two methods, and still got multipdp issue...
i also have disabled the fast dormancy with *#9900# command, but still no effect, ...could you please or someone give another way to solve this..
Stop syncing from your gmail account.
The big one is unplugging charger with screen on.

thanks for your answer for my question...
regarding that did you mean that i have to stop receiving email on my Galaxy Note..?? for me that's really important since i bought my note to support my daily job...
is it the main cause..? if yes, i think i should buy another battery as a way out.
I also have encountered the same problem with my galaxy note after the stock ics update in India.
I have checked out the earlier posts on the same issue..
Some users had the problems of deep sleep and some others had other problems..bt as far i have been able to understand this problem...it is associated with those apps which we often use..for eg i had been using apex launcher for so long...and it used to suck my phones battery like hell also coz of the widgets and the other things that it use.
So what i did was a simple factory reset and a data wipe and didn't install the apex launcher again.
I let my phones battery drain completely and charged it till 100% and simply rebooted it and removed the battery too. And its working good now.
Those things which suckedy battery included android system and display...i could do any thing about display but i force stopped may process of android system and results are good.
One more reason for battery drain could be that when we go backs from the apps on stock ics on galaxy note..the apps do not get closed comletely like stock web browser which works in the background too..so might be other reason for so.
Don not install those apps which u dont use often coz they might work in background add unnecessorily suck ur bettery.
Try the battery pull off trick it really works for majority of users.
Force close those apps and processes which u feel unnecessory.
Those whose claim ics doesnt work smooth on their note they pls go the develpers option in settings and enable the force GPU rendering option then it will work smooth like anything...
One more thing which u may already know about galaxy note ics is that now it runs all the tablet apps on ur note! Thats pretty amazing coz u need not root it or do anything...for me it worked with the apps like...adobe idea, adobe photoshop touch and all other adobe apps and some other tablet apps..download these apps directly from 4shared..so cheers!!!
Those who are not happy with their battery pls try factory reset and battery pull off trick...it worked for me and it might work for u too my friend...
if you are entering deep sleep at all then you aren't being affected by the bug where you have to make sure your screen is on and unlocked before pulling it off the charger.
i suffered from this bug after updating to ics lpy, but since following the guide above (flight mode, power down etc.) i've had no issues.
let your phone completely discharge, then turn it back ona dn make sure it turns off again. then fully charge it. i found this increased the accuracy of the battery a little, when i did it it dropped from 10% to 1% in around 20 mins, then i was able to use the phone for almost half an hour on 1% so obviously my battery stats weren't quite right.
if you've done a factory reset, and you're sure the phone is entering deep sleep ok, just go through a couple of complete charge/discharge cycles and see if that improves things

Analyzing is tought on android.
Printscreens of kernel wakelock and partial are better.
Partial is mostly what exactly is keeping awake
Try some of the suggestions from the numerious threads, state them here whicj didnt work and describe usage a little more detail, that way we arent shooting in the dark

i still got this issue regarding multipdp and secril_fd_interface....maybe it caused by unstable network or the fast dormancy stuff...
so i went to nearest samsung center and buy a spare battery... now i have no concern about this...but still keep on eye with l2_hsic...the flight mode on and restart will solve this issue..

I was having battery drain issues myself. Got tired of checking CPU Spy and BBS etc. Worried about bricking and wiping so I...
I rooted the phone.
Installed SpeedMod Kernel 3-3 via mobile odin that didnt really solve it.
I installed Abyss kernel. Wiped everything because its supposed to be a safe wipe kernel.
Then installed Criskelo rom
Then installed SpeedMod Kernel 3-3 again and everything was great with battery life.
You have to reinstall apps and setup your phone basically but its well worth it in my opinion. Now my only battery drain is me always messing with my phone.

I would stay away from telling people this is a safe thing to do in ICS, it's been proven many times it is not.
Maybe you have been lucky - so be thankful you're not using a paperweight...

@gayanaji - I use Criskelo's ROM and all the Samsung apps work fine. No probs here. Many of the custom ROMS are based on other Kernels that the Samsung apps do not work with. I am a bit new to this but I believe that is correct. Just make sure to use a Samsung app compatible Kernel if you decide to do it. Also another piece of advice before doing anything read a bunch to make sure you fully understand everything with regards to rooting, flashing custom ROMS etc.
Hi,
I've a G-Note running ICS-4.0.3 , i recently noticed my phone is getting really hot and resetting automatically at times, on closer investigation i see 'CPU spy' data showing my phone running constantly at 1400Mhz mode!!! wanting to find which process is doing this, i downloaded watchdog lite and noticed that 'System UI' process is running at 49% approx CONSTANTLY, killing it re-spwans the process!! any idea whats causing this?? Please Help!!
Not rooted, never flashed, on original upgrade, have nova launcher, use it rarely. no other launchers installed.
Restart fixes this sometimes, sometimes not.
Thanks in advance,
Ramgo.

well try to remember from which app on this issue showed up.I had battery drain problem turned out it was because of an app that I had installed.So I unistalled it and my problem went away.Yours should be easy to spot try unistalling the recent apps or the ones you're suspicious of and see when you get deepsleep.
Check your battery status and see for the battery eater apps

I infact got deep sleep the whole day, 15 hrs just 10 percent drained! this problem has been occuring intermittently, deep sleep is still happenning, but when the phone is screen ON, its in the highest mode.
Hmm things got complicated.Like I said if everything used to be normal then all of a sudden this problem began then it should be an app I suppose?!Just like my case.
Install OS Monitor and see what's hogging your cpu maybe you can pinpoint the application if that's the case.
did anybody have a problem with Gsam battery monitor after it was upgraded from Badass battery monitor??? i was looking at it and was showing 100% battery drain due to application ( 0% for screen and phone radio)!! i have uninstalled it and seems fine i guess! atleast for now! charging now and its in the expected 200Mhz state.

Yes will do that!! Thanks! read my comment below, i think GSam Battery monitor submits some task or makes some query to the kernel which makes it to go in a loop, hence the android system seems to be using more CPU and not battery monitor itself
The problem is back!! HELP!!
I checked OS monitor, nothing seem to be hogging, occasionally android system, overhearting near the camera and resetting automatically, please HELP!!!

Hello,
I'm having a similar problem. When my Note is in standby sometimes it overheats without any apparent reason and battery drains very fast.
I haven't been able to trace the origin of this problem. I'm running on ICS 4.0.3 stock and no ROOT.

Have you installed any kind of launcher on your phone? If you have, do try to uninstall it for now. Install BetterBatteryStats, turn off any data connection.. 3G, Wifi, Bluetooth.. Remove any Live wallpapers(just use a static one), Uninstall any apps that connect or syncs online.
The last thing I could advice you is turn off Airplane Mode (at night), charge up your phone to 100% and just leave it for a day. Check back on BetterBatteryStats after on what apps/wakelocks is triggering the overheating.

Lot's of work... I'll have to find some time to try all of that.
Thanks.
Early last week my Note started to reboot whitout any apparent reason. It happened 2 to 3 times a day. Specially in the morning when battery was still above 60%.
The overheating also happened from time to time but not everyday.
Saturday I figured I had to do something extreme to end this.
First I downgraded to a pre-rooted GB rom. Afterwards wiped the GB rom. Then upgraded to stock ICS. Everything worked out fine and was very easy to perform, thanks to all the guides available on XDA.
Last of all I rooted the ICS.
Until now the Note hasn't overheated or rebooted again.
I really thought it would be harder to do all this. But now I think it would take me about 20 min to do all these procedures.
Thanks to all the people that posted the guides on XDA.

I'll take that as a joke.
Three days in and still no unwanted reboots or overheating.
Gents if you have nothing constructive to provide in assisting the users with real help, please refrain from off topic mindless humor. Thank you.
A week after I've re-flashed ICS on my Note, the unwanted reboots have come back.
It must be some app I've installed again or maybe something much worse. I've read lots of threads and was wondering if a custom kernel and a different ROM might solve this problem.
One thing I've noted, the reboots never happen at night only during the day (mid-morning and mid-afternoon).
Any new ideas to help me find the source of this problem?
EDIT:
I'm running on LPY Kernel, so wipe is not an option...
hi
i'm not sure but i think my note 5 is draining abnormally during standby, yesterday i slept at 12 am my battery was 95% then i woke up at 8 and my battery was 60%, is this normal for 8 hours standby?
i noticed that under "android os" stay awake was 5h 39m 32s, could this be the cause?
That is absolutely the cause. Something is holding your phone awake. I would reboot into recovery (turn off phone, hold vol up+home button+power button) and wipe cache and reboot. See if that helps it.

I lose about 1% for every 2 hours overnight. Your usage is not normal at all.

Then it must be one of your apps that you have installed holding phone awake. If you can't find out which app it is then i would do a factory reset. That is definitely not normal.

You could try searching for the latest Google play services apk and install it to see that helps. Also then off always allow scanning in WiFi settings and turn location reporting off.

Mine drains like 2% per hour in standby. And I dont know what the phone is doing.
I know this isn't a solution to your problem, just some extra advice. Make sure you turn VoLTE and Wifi Calling off. Cell Standby is my number one battery drain when screen is off.
I have the same problem with stock kernel. I tried to flash all stock firmware but nothing, same problem. Solve only with arter97 o nobel kernel.

Well even mine is on stock N920C firmware.

Android System is using battery not deep sleeping. I tried Package Disabler PRO still same thing.
Any solution?

Well actually i have the N920CD dual sim. The 920C works fine minus the drain.
Trying kernels makes me lose the dual sim option which sucks!
And loosing the warranty as well!!
i have done something yesterday night, i switched off WiFi and Mobile data and i slept with 72% battery, then i woke up 7 hours later and battery was 71%!!!, so only 1% consumed, so i think the issue should be something related to either WiFi or mobile data.
do you have xposed? if so download the module call mobilestandbyfix
My phone with stock rom does that too!
I've heard the update was full of bugs and drains battery a lot!
Whenever I try to look at the cause there was Android Os!
90% to 50% power left if unused.
I did a factory reset and got fix!
Try factory reset that does helps.
About google play services it never let my phone to run smooth just eats ram alot!
I always uninstalled when not in use

Why dont you root your device
Get greenify pro ,allow root permission ,hibernate the cause of cpu wakeups !
I did hibernated some system apps and trust me i've got amazing power backup!
Some system apps keep wakeup your cpu and screen in background result in battery drain.
Hope that helps

Guys i am experiencing A high amount of overnight battery drain.Almost 15% battery gets depleted every night.
I am on OOS beta 10 with Ex Kernel... Android OS always consumes 13-15% battery..
Can anyone provide a solution ?
It might be one of your apps that keeps waking the device overnight. Get a Wakelock detector, look for the app that might be the cause, uninstall it and see if it helps.
It might also be the kernel I'm not sure why but EX was draining a lot of battery for me as well, but it seems to be working just fine for others. So you might also want to switch to stock kernel for a bit and see how it goes
Also, a bit unrelated, but putting your phone on Airplane Mode while you're asleep can help also. (IF you don't get any important messages or calls overnight that is) I lose no more than 1-2% over 8 hours on Airplane Mode. Plus, it's good for your health as well.

I'm not quite sure about that. I only used EX once. Once you're certain that EX is whats causing the drain, you can go ahead and ask in the EX Thread. Hopefully someone will be able to point it out. And if you're not certain, I'd say flash stock back and get only the apps you really need and see if it still drains.
And if you're in to custom business, I'd suggest you try out Paranoid Android once as well, the new build is pretty solid and i'm getting a considerably better battery life than i did on OOS, both active and idle
I'm losing 1% per hour, it seems normal for this device.
I've tried factory reset and various kernels.

Anyone??
Changing different values ?
Then tell what exactly you did, so that someone trying to help you doesn't have to guess what you did or didn't.
This battery draining can be quite hard to eliminate. That's why there are already 2 million threads out there regarding this.
When i upgraded via ota from N to O i factory reseted and battery is better than on N.

Did you have GPS, NFC, sync, and/or AOD enabled? I know airplane mode cuts off some of that, but just trying to get more detail on your general settings. I tamed some apps using the built-in power monitor, and disabled gps/nfc/aod, etc., and even with sync on i get between 0.7%-1% per hour drain overnight with auto-brightness generally at about 35%.
GPS on battery saving, NFC off, sync on, AOD off.
That's not a good news.

Try with GPS off and compare results. Might help narrow down at least part of the excess drain.
You could always stick your phone in power saving mode and see if that helps with drain. More of a bandaid fix than anything else but could help.
