Galaxy note 5 battery issue (plus a few others) - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got a galaxy note 5 as a hand me down from my father last year. I had the battery replaced as the original one was at its limit. The replacement was done at the official Samsung service center. My phone (SM920C) is rooted, using the stock rom and has TWRP recovery installed. I will now list the issues I'm currently facing.
-> Idle drain is too high. 3.5% per hour on average, even on battery saver. The device does enter deep sleep.
-> Battery keeps draining while plugged in unless I remove the adapter and plug it in again.
-> TWRP recovery and the main UI show different battery percentages.
-> Battery doesn't charge while in TWRP recovery mode.
-> At points, the phone becomes unresponsive and reboots.
-> The phone also feels really laggy.
-> Also heats up.
I have tried multiple solutions. I tried installing greenify, turned off location, turned off sync, turned off google location history, did a factory reset, installed the rom again, removed root, rooted again, reduced brightness, changed resolution, switched to airplane mode and what not. I have tried everything, but nothing worked. Any and all help will be appreciated.
Since I have less than 10 posts, I cannot post the link to the screenshot.

In addition to what you have already done with settings, I've installed a different ROM from stock. I'm using the N-Fuel-XL3-Final-Stable ROM along with the Fuel kernel (I have the T-Mobile version). Lastly, I installed Naptime from the Play store. Idle drain is very minor and the phone lasts quite a while.

The N-Fuel-XL3 rom is just a debloated version of the stock Note 5 rom? Does it retain all the S-Pen features? Also is S Health and camera working? I did see the thread and the previews for that rom but just wanted to confirm from a user.

Yes, it is a very debloated version of the stock ROM. However, camera works and all Spen features are included. The add-on zip that you flash after flashing the ROM allows you to install Samsung apps. S-Health may be an option, but I can't remember because I don't use it. The ROM is very stable and very fast. If your phone version can accept the fuel kernel (same developer, but different XDA thread), it makes the phone and battery perform even better. These along with Naptime should resolve all of your battery drain issues and help the phone deep sleep.

[Q] [ASK] HElp to find out what causing this battery drain

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 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
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
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.

Battery is terrible?

I have been using my phone on wife since about 7 am. Since then, I have done maybe an hour of browsing on chrome, installed an app or 2, watch a short YouTube video, checked my email once, and played a game for 5 mins. I saw other people's battery stats and it says they have 20 plus hours of talk time? Mine says there is only 3 hours left. Is it possible I have a faulty battery? I'm also using juice defender and power save along with the brightness all the way down. I'm running android revolution hd with elemental kernel. I have the att version. Thanks in advance.

I find that based on my usage habits that I get terrible battery on Android Revolution v12. I always find myself going back to a rooted AT&T Sense build, and I'm able to pull 3 hours of screen-on time with 20% left.
Be sure to use a Wakelock Detector to pinpoint any rogue apps that are keeping your phone awake when it should be sleeping.
Also; be careful with those "Juice Defender"-type apps, Android has come a VERY long way in managing RAM, and resources since 2.2 (Froyo).
Report back with any findings
Don't mean to hijack the the thread but im having a rather peculiar issue 3g and wifi are eating away my battery like a percent for every 2-3 mins that also while only browsing web nothing else in the background can anyone help . Also im on stock rom , no root and s-off
P.S auto sync is off few apps have been disabled like (play store,facebook , google + and google search and few more)
jucie defender and power saver lol over kill i bet they are working against each other

I have about the same hours on stock rooted AT&T 1.26.502.12. Updating to stock rooted 2.24.401.1 has about the same hours, but it's only been about a week and I'm constantly flashing the new ElementalX kernels, so it hasn't settled.
Also, running at 1.2ghz and intellidemand/fiops.
I think my battery might just be bad

what? or do u mean WiFi
you should use GSAM or wakelock detector to view if something is killing your battery, I have a very VERY good battery life specially since I updated to 2.24 firmware, i guess you don't have root
Check the ss I posted of gsm, and I do have root. Also, what does it say in talk time left in gsm battery monitor when you have full battery?
My battery life was great until i flashed new firmware. i'm on ARHD ROM and it was great on 11.5, with 12 i started using nova launcher and now battery life isn't as good as it was previously. Have you experienced changes with your battery life while using some custom launchers? Or that's rather caused by new firmware/rom/radio/etc?

if i was you I will do the following
-update the **** out of your ONE (firmware and ROM)
but since it would be to laborious, I probably do the following:
1 Factory reset, in android (backup your things becaus it will be erased if you do a factory reset in android, or just dont do it!!!!!!!!) and in recovery (or only in recovery =.=
2 Install a custom rom that is near to a stock rom like ARHD (do it two times with full wipe)
3 with titanium backup remove (after do a backup) the htc bloatware crap that you dont use
4 with titanium backup remove the gapss that you could download from playstore, like youtube, gmail, and specially MAPS
5 GREENIFY all apps that you dont use commonly, you will be able to greenify apps like maps and youtube
6 DONT USE SEEDER OR ENTROPY MODS!!!
7 DONT USE battery saver apps
8 set battery saver option: cpu, vibration, and if you can get use to, mark the data connection option too...
9 Use lagfix app...
10 download Trickster MOD and set you gobernator to MSM-DCVS (this could cause a little lag when you turn on your ONE)
allow to pass one day with you fresh rom, and the following day check how is your battery life
11 if you still have a not soo good battery life, try disabling media storage in apps configuration menu, maybe you have some corrupted media files that dont let media storage to scan all of your media and check if your battery life improve, if so, you should clean your media files, (because let disabled the media storage app have very high side effects)
optional
12 use mods related to a battery life of pimp my rom
13 disable location update from maps, and all location things from configuration (enable when you need them)
14 disable all autosync things that you could do manually, like dunno facebook
15 disable auto update hour and date
+++ disable google now
more optional sh*t
16 when your phone is fully changed in android, turn it off and let it charge until the led change to green, do that one time every two or three days
17 battery stats wipe whit any app of playstore
18 manage your brightness screen manually (its easy and fast in android 4.2.2)
fin...
normally i get 5:30 and 6:00 hours screen on time with a very good use (3g) but one day i get these results
BTW download the app batteryDrain is very good to check how your battery is draining
...And set the option in GSAM that show statistics since last full charge, and dont plug your phone because it could reset the statistics (well if you are reviewing your BLife that could be a problem since stock battery report of sense is almos usless)

[Q] Battery drain issue

I know there have been a lot of discussions about this but did anyone ever get to the bottom of the battery drain issue on the S3?
When I first got my S3 the battery life was great - would easily last over 12 hours. Now rarely gets me through a working day.
Here's what I have tried (none of these worked)
1. Replacing the battery
2. Replacing the handset completely
3. Replacing the SD card
4. Removing the SD card
5. Using a different SIM
6. Keeping the phone in flight mode when not using it
7. Turning off all automatic updates
8. Keeping screen brightness turned down low
9. Uninstalling all my apps
10. Factory resest (many times)
11. Downgrading back to Android 4.1.2 using these instructions - "Google: How to downgrade Galaxy S3 back to Android 4.1.2: tutorial" (I could not do this I just kept getting error messages)
12. Speaking to EE technical help (totally useless)
13. Speaking to Samsung help (completely clueless)
14. All the other tips on the Samsung website - Google "Cell Phones: How do I sustain my Android battery life?"
15. Turning off "Keep WiFi on during sleep"
Not sure what's left. Any ideas? Here's what I have;
Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE (I9305)
Android version 4.3
Baseband version I9305XXUEMK1
Kernel Version 3.0.31-2051278
Build Number JSS15J.19305XXUEML5
SELinux Status Enforcing SEPF_GT-I9305_4.3_0021
My partner has a HTC One which has a great battery life. Don't think I'd buy another Samsung phone after this. Just wiating till my contract ends so I can switch to an HTC.
Are u on stock or custom rom?

You can't downgrade directly, namely, you can't flash the old bootloader. Try to flash a stable rom, set up your google account, install little or no apps. Give it 48h to settle.
Oh! BTW, format both SDcard and internal storage. And install Better Battery Stats to find the wakelock. And give us a screenshot of your mediocre battery stats, and the screen on time.

i had the same problem for a while, the thing i did was buy a new monster micro-usb cable (i think it was this one: http://www.monsterproducts.com/productdisplay.asp?pin=6922&id=10816) and then i let my battery drain to 0% then let the battery battery fully charge to 100%, calibrate the battery (look in play store for: battery calibrate) and then let it drain to 0% again, after that my problem was gone and with the monster cable my phone is fully charged in 1,5 hour, and it lasts a day with heavy use.
Gentlemen, screenshot of battery history and BBS wakelocks please.
No, not greenify.
No, not Wakelock detector.
BBS, with root, as a system app. It's free for your forum users, start using it!

Battery drain solved
Thanks for all the helpful tips. I tried quite a lot of different things.
The thing that ha worked for me to instantly improve my battery life - I'm getting over two days out of it now has been installing "DS Battery Saver".
When I'm not using the phone, the battery life remains pretty much static.
I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a quick fix for rubbish battery life.

Battery Life and Wakelocks

Hi guys,
so i newly setup my phone recently with OOS 4.0.3 in order to have a clean phone for the most efficient use.
For my surprise, for the first time using the 3T my energy efficiency was very good, i managed to get 4,5h SOT with the first 50% because i had almost no drain when the screen was turned off.
I attached the screenshots.
Basically, i just flashed OOS 4.0.3 and the newest franco kernel and magisk for root. I didnt use greenify (which i usually do), just the strict standby option in the android settings.
So far so good, but now to the part i cant understand.
I installed gsam battery monitor and gave it root access, so i can have detailed battery information.
From that point, i experienced again the standby drain combined with wakelooks, as u can see in the screenshot starting around 60% of the battery.
So far i uninstalled the app, i used greenify, but i cant get back when i had no wakelocks.
Is it really because of Gsam Battery? How can get away the standby drain without setting up the phone completely new?
PS: I also deactivated some of the access rights of apps, especially for play services.
Is it possible that they regain the access by themselves or that google play services is draining the battery

Don't deactivate app rights of play services. It would break the functionality randomly and u won't know what happened. Just enable and reboot. Next time something happens, check the stat in gsam battery monitor. It's a good app and I am using it from 3 years.
It's not gsam I've had it installed on every phone for years and I always get amazing battery life.
I dont use google apps at all besides gmail and maps sometimes. But ill try around if it makes a difference.
I also cant believe that GSAM really is the problem there, but i didnt change anything else, i was just surprised of the good battery life and wanted to see the characteristics of battery statistics when i have a normal standby drain.
And immediatelly from that point on, the standby drain changed as u can see on the screenshots, even after uninstalling GSAM.
I now get 2h SOT with 50%, not 4,5.
So, is it possible that anything influencing that is changing by itself?
I didnt install any app or changed any setting, all i use was setted up in the beginning (franco, magisk, viper, all apps)
Yes google play store and google play services if you downloaded it and installed it that way? Google ruins battery life very randomly. If you restored a titanium backup or sideloaded the app then I have no clue. Even if you didnt do anything different there are a ton of things that can go wrong with android in the background. Recharge and reboot and start over.

tried everything already + wiping cache/dalvik
I just now wiped also system and dirty flashed the ROM + the stuff i need. Ill see it that solves the deal.
I just cant accept to not have the control over my phone as thats one of the advantages of rooting. I got the same battery life with same usage with my 2,5 year old OnePlus One.
I run the same apps on every phone and this phone has doubled the performance and battery compared to my nexus 6 note 5 and nexus 6p. First phone I've owned that actually sleeps when I turn off the screen.

The OPO with CM back then was a dream.
Are u using any apps or adjust settings in order to tweak that behavior?

I've been on CM13 since the day it came out Dec 11th. I was getting amazing battery and standby on stock since I got the phone late November. I use xposed for tweaking everything but no modules or apps or settings for battery savings.

Hi guys,
so i newly setup my phone recently with OOS 4.0.3 in order to have a clean phone for the most efficient use.
For my surprise, for the first time using the 3T my energy efficiency was very good, i managed to get 4,5h SOT with the first 50% because i had almost no drain when the screen was turned off.
I attached the screenshots.
Basically, i just flashed OOS 4.0.3 and the newest franco kernel and magisk for root. I didnt use greenify (which i usually do), just the strict standby option in the android settings.
So far so good, but now to the part i cant understand.
I installed gsam battery monitor and gave it root access, so i can have detailed battery information.
From that point, i experienced again the standby drain combined with wakelooks, as u can see in the screenshot starting around 60% of the battery.
So far i uninstalled the app, i used greenify, but i cant get back when i had no wakelocks.
Is it really because of Gsam Battery? How can get away the standby drain without setting up the phone completely new?
PS: I also deactivated some of the access rights of apps, especially for play services.
Is it possible that they regain the access by themselves or that google play services is draining the battery

I found 4.0.3 would get wakelocks from location service. I have installed firmware from OOS 3.5.4 and used Leandroid, since then I've had my old battery life back.

I like that app, but its only fully functional with SuperSU. Do u know if there is any similar app also working with Magisk?

Which app? Magisk?
Magisk has its own root now. Fyi

I know, but the app still asks for root permission with SuperSU for all the foot options

Some parts of it only work with SuperSU, sure. The important bit that fixes the MRa big does unfortunately.
Not found a magisk equivalent, but I'm eager to find one!
I just recently got my 3T two weeks ago running OOS 4.0.3 and I also notice a lot of wakelocks, especially when on mobile data (3G/4G).
I am still tinkering to figure out what are the root causes for wakelocks in this case.
I suggest you install BetterBatteryStats from XDA, it does provide a lot of good info. GSAM is good too but I prefer BBS. You can grant it permissions to Battery_Stats if you are not rooted.
Here are my findings so far:
Google Services likes to access the GPS a lot, so I turned of Location History. This resulted in fewer wakelocks when the screen is off.
I have changed the GPS and set it to GPS Only so that it doesn't use the cell towers and WiFi to help determine a location. I am not sure if this makes a difference for wakelocks yet.
I know Nougat has doze, I am not sure how well it works...fortunately there is Aggressive Doze in the battery section of the settings. I have not tested this yet but this is something I will look into once I have determined all others aspects that may be causing wakelocks.
I do have the LED notification light enabled and I am using LightFlow to manage it. It works in conjunction with the built-in LED settings from OOS. This is fine, but I do believe this may cause wakelock issues.
Once again, in my experience, I get a lot of wakelocks when I am on mobile data compared to being on WiFi and I am not sure why there is a difference.

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
Here are the screenshots:

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.
