Hi everyone. My battery life is really sucks. I bought my item two days ago. It is new. And I upgrade my version and baseband , kernel and build version like below :
N70000XXLB2
2.6.35.7-N7000XXLC1-CL1003701 [email protected]#2
GINGERBREAD.XXLC1
I think that this version xxlc1 is last version but I wonder how is my kernel version ?
Battery life is very bad.
Moreover Charging lasts so long. 3 -4 hours sometimes.
PLEASE Help me! please
depends in the usage, rom, kernel, settings etc you are using.

when i see some kind of usage experiences, I am so jealous. How they use this much ? HOW. I only use wifi and radio.
Hi,
What is your battery life on the Note? Does it last a day even two?. If it does, then that is pretty much normal. You whine on a phone that you just use for only 2 days? Stop whining and complaining. You havent have had utilize the full charge and recharge cycles of your battery and now your whining already.. Man, give your Note a week or two and your battery life will be okay.
Hmm.. Is this the first time you use an android device? What phone where you using.before? If you we're using a non android device e.g. Symbian or etc. Then my reaction to your complains (of your Note) is justifiable. Symbian for the fact has always been known to be very good or decent in terms of battery life.
Now android OS, is known throughout (irregardless what smartphone/tablet you have) to have the AOS bug. It is a bug where there's some sort of a battery leak and hencefort most android users tend to root their phones so that they can stop background stock applications from running in the background. The births of custom ROMS and Kernels have given some tremendous wonders also especially on phone's UI and more so on battery management.
Again. Stop complaining and go down root your phone and install battery saving apps or custom ROMs. It's all over the thread anyway.
The sooner you customise your phone to your heart's content, the better you can appreciate it's full potentials.
Cheers!!!

My battery life is 5 - 6 hours. I am accept 12 hours. I wish it last 12 hours. Before I used Iphone4, it is not so long for battery life , however it is acceptable. I did not understand how notes's battery life so short.
Moreover I can not use custom rom. because they r not good as well as stock rom. ALl of them have some problems. But I can change my kernel.
to get battery life you either
a) dont use your phone or
b) get information to use your phone more wisely
So..
a) download a battery monitor.. there are a bunch recommended..
b) read the other 200 threads on battery life and dont start another one. Each and every question has been asked and answered ad nauseum
while you are figuring out root, and task killers, here are a few easy tips to help..particularly when you are putting the phone down for a while
apps>task manager>active apps> CLOSE ALL
apps>task manager> RAM> CLEAR MEMORY
settings>applications>running services> review and shut down apps/games that may be running in background (and that are not critical)
Again.... RESEARCH the forum.. the answers are already here. and you should read and post in existing threads

You could also have a defective battery.
On my iPhone 4, my first of 4 that were faulty, battery life depleted in less than 12 hours of STANDBY only on wifi, nothing syncing. Only being on. Battery life was so bad.
It's not uncommon to get a dud battery sometimes.
Try doing a complete restore, stock EVERYTHING, don't push anything (except email, cal, and contacts, you know, the basics) and see if you're having the same results. If on a fresh, stock, install you're having the same issues, then you've got a defective unit and/or battery.
Hope I've helped.

There are quite decent custom roms for the Note. I have tried many gingerbread versions (Chracks, rocketrom, cassies etc) currently on chrack's v18 small (LC1) with speedmod latest kernel.
I have not faced performance issues on this. But each user is different so u r the boss.
Best give the custom kernels a try for now. If u find the battery life better then ur problem is solved. The advantage of custom rom is that so much useless bloatware in the stock is removed for better space mgt & performance.
have provided some tips in the following link, feel free to go thru.

dude, you are ridiculing some of the well known devs who have made custom ROMS for all to appreciate and use. IF there was and is a problem on a particular custom ROM, it is or might be cause indirectly on the user itself, on what apps he/she insatalled on his phone. Surely you cannot generalize all custom ROMS have problems do you? if all have problems, the devs have some new revisions to fix those bugs and in no time at all your Note would be in tip-top shape again.
If as what you say, Custom Roms have problems.... then why the heck most people I know have used them and have big wide grin on their face to show off what they have and even posting a copy of their latest ROM pictures here... not to mentioned in YouTube as well.
ok. Which rom is the best stable than ? Which I should use ?
go read the threads on battery performance.. loading a new ROM will not fix problems if you do not know what you are doing.

Hi there.
I had the same issues but only after the update done on ICS.
I have over 140 different application and nearly all of them have been purchased.
What happens is that, when you are not using your phone it should go to "deep sleep". This allows your phone not to run any application and merely use any battery. Your problem probably come from somewhere in your setting an automatic update. That drains a lot....
I downloaded different application hoping that it would work out such as Juice Defender, watch dog and many others. After lots of research, I found out that it is not good for your phone to have an auto killer app or even an application that modifies the functions of other applications.
So I downloaded battery spy and cpu spy on "google play" and followed the instructions.
I needed a deeper analytic application "Kernel" and this was THE application that allowed my phone to go from 6-8 hour to 28 hours.
"Better battery stats", it's not free but was really worth the spending.
Google play chronological download
1) watch dog
2) battery spy
3) cpu spy
4) better battery stats
Good luck
I keep switching my cellphone off while not using, and same goes for wifi. Using it as a secondary phone as well. It lasts only 4-6 hours.. :S I keep closing background apps, and kill app once im done with it..
Also be aware that in areas with bad network strenght, the GNote really suffers.
I normally have no complains (0,6-1,5% battery usage per hour) but where I am now, the GNote really works hard to keep the connection and my consumption easily goes to 4-6% in deep sleep and 15-20% when using it...

If you like stock samsung looks try CleaNote 3.10 , very good n battery life , I get around one day backup with heavy usage and 2 days plus with moderate usage .
If like pure google , then try cm9 , very stable and quite good on battery back up .
And if you dont use 3g or 3.5 g or any such networks then select GSM only or use 2g networks only ( Settings -> under wireless and connectivity , More -> Mobile Networks )
Also keep your display brightness to minimum , control the brightness manually instead of auto brightness .
Turn off auto sync ( big advantage over battery ) .
Scan for running apps and cached apps and force stop the ones which you dont use .
Use titanium back up and freeze some of the bloatwares ( stock samsung apps ) or uninstall them , like readers hub , mydiary , they are **** .
And dont use task killers , they drain your battery . they may clear rom but some apps restart automatically and that needs more juice than running those apps . Hope all these suggestions help . From my experience with this phone

I didnt know that, My signal is usually 10-40%. I have bad signal strenght at home.
my battery decreases 1% in around 5 minutes of use or something. Today it lasted me 10% on standby for around 8-10hours.

You need to purchase and install "better battery stats" and also install cpu spy (I'm assuming you're rooted) and use them to monitor your phone and battery in order to solve your issue. Google both and you'll find several good threads on xda about using and interpreting these apps, but if you get stuck post some screen shots from both and someone here can almost certainly help. There are a number of potential sources of such problems, generally rogue apps, and also a bug or two, but it is impossible to offer help without the details these apps would provide.

Thanks for that, i will install it. By the way i got the "battery widget" installed, which has gained popularity on the market.
Also im only using 9% of brightness of my phone.
I'm using a rooted stock 4.0.3 and I'm finding battery life its pretty good - better than unrooted GB was in fact. Simply freezing bloatware via titanium and limiting sync on some (not all) apps and services makes a gigantic difference. Design your phone around your own needs and you'll end up with an amazing device that you'll fall in love with all over again.

Hi,
I have a SGN and CM10 nightly, and updating daily.
The only bad thing for me in this JB based ROM is the heat and the battery drain (almost can see the energy flying away the battery )
As I have been reading a little bit, I think, and please correct me if I'm wrong, that the KERNEL can change some equipment behavior...
Question:
Do I have to stay with the kernel of the nightlys?
If not, what options do I have, and what are the main differences between them?
If I change it, do I have to re-flash it every time I update to the new nightly?
According to your help... I'LL BE BACK!!!!
Thanks a lot

The new cm10 kernel uses updated Mali display drivers. Currently there are no alternative kernels with these drivers so you're stuck with the stock one.

I guess you have a rogue app misbehaving. I can clearly remember when I had this problem as well: battery drain and heat.
You might install the following 2 apps, to see whether your device enters deep sleep, if you already haven't.
- better battery stats (1.11)

- CPUSpy (0.5.19 beta)

Then, after you checked "deep sleep or not?", you could go to this thread concerning wake locks&battery life, a very informative thread by ahalford - and he is being very helpful!

I'm new to posting on XDA so I apologise if i posted this thread in the wrong section.
I've flash the ROM with nano Gapps about 2 weeks ago and been clearing cache over time and i still can't get above 4 hours SOT. I personally use a dark theme (substratum) throughout my apps and system apps, Bluetooth and NFC are always disabled and location is set to battery saving. I can't find the app which is hogging my battery. FYI, I rock a similar setup on oos 4.5 and easily it lasts 6 hours of SOT. However, i do think its the Snapchat application but it's an important app to me. Any suggestions ?

Nope, but English isn't my first language.
Hey,
If you could include a few more details such as your kernel (if you've flashed one) or PA version, whether you're coming from a clean/dirty flash and other additional information, that'd be great, so the community could address your issue better.
Also, you may want to check wakelocks and battery health (NOTE: not Battery Life, Battery Health).
If you're on PA, you may want to revert to OOS 4.1.X, and check your battery life and SOT.
Snapchat is a universally known app that has its' fame for being battery heavy, so if it shows up as a heavy battery user, that's because it is. The reason is, because it has heavy use on the Camera, GPU and mobile network or wifi.
Cheers.

I've not flashed any kernel or any other ROMs before and I clean flashed PA 7.3 which is the latest version available. I've also flashed arter97's F2FS boot.img. Wakelock details are provided in the screenshot attachment as well as the battery health condition data provided by Ampere.
I've not had any issues with Snapchat on OOS though :/
Note that I didn't greenify it too.
Edit: I'm having difficulties to post the screenshot

Ok
Ever since I updated my rooted OnePlus 3T to the latest Oreo Beta 19 update, my battery life has taken a huge hit! I no longer get about 6 hours of SOT. Therefore, I decided to flash Franco Kernel. However, the battery life continues to have the same short life span that I had running the stock kernel. Until OnePlus addresses this issue, I am asking everyone to please help me, along with the rest of the forum community who is having this issue, to please find a kernel that can contribute greatly with extending my battery life. If at all possible, please post a screenshot of your battery life, along with the custom kernel currently on your OnePlus 3T. (Note: Before you ask me, I simply would like to say that I DO NOT have any social media apps installed on my phone, which we all know contributes greatly to battery loss since they like to run in the background.)
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Battery life will vary from device to device, depending on the usage of the phone, the efficiency of the ROM on handling Wakelocks and more.
Most custom Kernels are all the same when it comes to battery efficiency and hardware interaction/communication.
I really don't think OnePlus should address any issue as it looks like the issue only persists on your device. I've read many posts about how good the life is on the recent Open Beta's based on Oreo, on the Stock Kernel.
If you don't have any Social Media apps, you must be having other User apps. You can check your Wakelocks and see how your device is woken and how CPU usage is taken up. Kernels won't do you any good if you have unnecessary Wakelocks.
Please try a clean flash without any restoration of data. If that does not fix your issue, I'd say you have a bad battery.
Cheers!

Let's make a thread to report the issues related to idle drain on custom ROMs. I have made this thread so that people can discuss issues related to battery life and help each other solve it. This is in no way to defame anyone. It's just a thread for discussion. I decided to make this thread because my device was active for most of the time. Very very less deep sleep
Well for some reference i flashed a rom and just magisk and fk kernel manager to track deep sleep. I was shocked to see that device wasn't sleeping well and awake for 80% or more of the time. It was without any 3rd party apps installed on ROM.
Just flashed ROM only and no verity zip. Didn't flash gaps as it was already built in. After doing the first boot and set-up. I flashed magisk and installed only 2 apps. Better battery stats and fk kernel manager to track the drain. So i guess I'm not doing anything wrong. Because i didn't restore any app or app data. I used to restore only back-up of apps using titanium backup. I never restore data. People always blame users that they used bad apps but without apps installed i assumed i could get better sleep. But it wasn't the case. Now I'm back to OOS and will update to you guys after a new update comes.
Another battery life thread? There's one since 2017: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/op5-battery-life-thread-t3624705
