Battery drain!!! - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone had any issue with the battery draining out rapidly overnight when the phone is in idle without any apps running. My battery remains around 75% before I go to sleep but the next day morning it drops to below 30%........am confused :S

Maybe you were really running apps, or some of them started updating.
You really need to check up on your phone activity.
Ask us any Android Related Question @FeraLabsDevs on Twitter

It's not possible without any logical reason, and this one can only be an app running in idle wich can't even go CPU to sleep.
It's pretty simple to search for the issue, just need an app such as "CPU Spy" who can help you to find WHAT is draining your battery.
Before do it, I advice you to test it without charger (evident ) let us know

Your phone is not getting into deep sleep. There might be some apps giving wakelocks or kernel wakelocks. Install better battery stats and cpu spy from market and identify the culprit!
Hit thanks if it helped :-D
BOOMED from my BOMBASTIC NOTE :-D

Sleep less -- more battery

probably it is because of the samsung push service. froze it with titanium back up or uninstall it.

[Q] galaxy note never goes to deep sleep state

My galaxy note drains battery overnight like 50%. I have checked with CPU sky and noticed that note never goes to deep sleep state - it's obvious that this is the reason why the phone is discharging so fast ?
What can cause the phone never goes into sleep state?
I use very few programs like Battery Monitor, cpu sky, betterbattery, handcent and dropbox - and that's all.
BTW, these statistics are gathered using AbyssKernel 2.5, I reflashed stock kernel today and waiting to see the changes.
What should be the idle time before phone goes into deep sleep?
This sounds like an individual issue, for if the Note was faulty as described then everyone would be experiencing it.

are you leaving wifi and bluetooth on? they tend to ping quite frequently to find nearby wifi hubs and bluetooth devices. gps pings your location once in a while. weather apps will reconnect your device to 3g at regular intervals to update the weather data. some widgets also use mobile data which will drain battery.
50% overnight is way too much even for not going into the deep sleep. There has to be some runaway app in the background. I'm on custom ROM and kernel, undervolted and no wifi/bluetooth/data/sync while I'm sleeping and the most drain I would see overnight is 3%.
got that issue with rocket rom v11. now am on v10 with abyssnote 2.5 with no issue.

If you left WiFi turned on, it could happen that it prevents it from going into deep sleep. If you have titanium backup, freeze the app "wi-fi sharing" and all the samsung hub/kies apps.

Battery Drains during Standby Mode

Does anybody experience a 3% to 5% battery drain just a few minutes after charging the battery to 100%? It has already reached 100% so I already unplugged it from the charger, but then I noticed after a few minutes, it went down to 97% already, and then in 10 minutes, it's already down to 96%. In 3 hours, it's down to 84%; in 7 hours, it's down to 38% and that's just on standby mode with Wifi/Bluetooth OFF, 3G OFF, GSM only. I've been experiencing this problem for the past few days now. I've already conditioned my battery, charging it to a full charge (100%) after draining the battery until it shuts the phone off. I only charge the battery while the phone is off and usually it takes about 3 to 4 hours maximum to charge it to 100%.
The longest time it reached was 12 hours (battery unplugged from charger) and that is with light use, such as Wifi is only on for a couple of hours, so basically just 2 hours web browsing and skype, 10-20 text messages and 30 minutes to 1 hour browsing the photo gallery or watching videos. No phone calls and 3G is off. The rest of the day, the phone is just on standby mode. I only have at most 10 widgets on the home screen. I have Avast Antivirus running in the background.
I am currently using Easy Battery Saver, Easy Task Killer, GO Task Manager and Battery Monitor Widget. I've uninstalled Juice Defender since I don't think it helps that much when it comes to the battery drain. Currently, the power saving option (available on Note) is enabled at 50%.
Wifi and Bluetooth: OFF when not used

Any feedback or comment on this matter would be really much appreciated. Thanks!
From a personal standpoint. Your screenshots shows that your phone had never ever done a deep sleep at all. the 'Awake' mode is continously consistent as well. I guess the probable reason for that is you've installed ''Avast AV" on your phone. It's always running in the background (whenever the phone is ON). From my experiences, Any background application running would always cause wakelocks and the phone would never enter into deep sleep at all.
How bout you try uninstalling some of the background apps your using esp. Avast AV and give it a day to observe if your still having that battery drain issue. (Don't forget after uninstalling or removing those apps, try to wipe dalvik cache and battery stat and restart your phone after.)
and Oh by the way, I am using Juice Defender and contrary to your saying it doesn't help.. IT DOES HELP save battery as I my Note is able to reach 1.5- 2 days of normal use.
Cheers!
Yeah and download betterbatterystats and do some searching on it. With it you can discover what is causing those wakelocks. Search the web for more info on your wakelocks.

I'm using avast and never seen a drain like that. Only time I have is because of background processing. First thing I would do is turn off Background Data
Then as others have said - check batterystats to see where wakelocks are
Plus a rooted phone is a good thing. Titanium backup allowed me to freeze wi-fi sharing which also made a big difference
Finally - clear all caches from Applications menu and reboot

Only picture that shows that is the one with 1 minute 56 sec discharging time, so it was taken shortly after taking charger out. No suprise of it being almost 100% screen on time there if its only 2 minutes
Also installing "cpu spy" will give the cumulative time that your cpu spent at each frequency including deep sleep , mine is showing 88%
John.
Anti virus app is battery hog, I had avast before too, and I uninstalled it after 2 days using. Also that Juice defender, from my test before, it use up more battery than it saved. turning on and off those 3G/Wifi thing is using up alot of battery. and you know what? even the betterbatterystats use up alot, at least to me, becoz it scan what is up frequently.
Hello! Thank you all so much for your response. I've installed both BetterBatteryStats and CPU Spy and here are the results (please see attachments). Upon checking CPU Spy, it shows there that phone did went to deep sleep, maybe? I'm not quite sure, but it shows on the screenshot that it went to deep sleep for 19%. So does that mean the phone really went to sleep?? I'm sorry to ask this question, since I've never really encountered this problem before with my previous Samsung Wave phone, how will you know that your phone went straight to deep sleep mode?
Also, after 46 minutes or so, the battery went down to 96% already after charging it. The battery drain was already 4% in less than an hour.
@letters_to_cleo: I have not uninstalled Avast yet, since I'm still hesitant to use my phone without an AV. But I will try your suggestion for 1 day and see if there's any battery improvement.
I'm looking forward to your response or suggestions. Thanks again!
i am having problem too with new battery original samsung ( made in japan, finished in korea) previously i use samsung battery made in china, finished in korea. charged it over night with power off. it only last 13hrs. my wife phone can last 30hrs.
i've used batterymix to check the battery usage graph, the usage graph drop very fast compare to my wife phone. i'll post some screen capture of the graphs.
another issue is i used once wifi sharing. after turning switching the wifi sharing off, the wifi sharing service always at the background even after many reboot. how to turn that off??
You might need a new battery. Any rechargeable battery has a finite charging cycle. Just a suggestion.
Hi, all! I just noticed that the battery drains still even during deep sleep mode. After 3 hours or so (during sleep mode according to CPU Spy), the battery went down to 92%. It drains even faster when the phone is in use, especially when Wifi and Bluetooth are on, maybe 2-5% drain in 1 hour.
Maybe there's something wrong with the battery?? It's still a new battery and I can see some improvement each day though, but that's because I use it less each day. Before the battery can only last for 8-10 hours, then it increased to 12 hours, and then to 16-17 hours. BetterBatteryStats' current estimate to empty is 24 hours as of today, but that's because I only used the phone today for only a couple of hours, with 20 minutes Wifi and Bluetooth ON and most of the time, it's on deep sleep mode according to CPU Spy.
What do I do with the results from the Partial Wakelocks? Do I have to disable those apps?? The Kernel Wakelocks didn't show any reference apps running. The screenshots for the Partial and Kernel Wakelocks that were taken a few hours earlier still show the same results after 3 hours.

That would be really bad luck. I got my Note via preorder in Germany at the first day it was sold and since then I charged it everyday, sometimes even twice and there is no difference to the first day. If I get told by Samsung after 6month of normal usage the battery is dead that would be the last Samsung device I bought and I use a lot of Samsung stuff.
@ebichan24
Your last screenshots show between 9:35 and 13:35 5% of battery drain. That's not really a good value but ways lower than before. Did you delete some Apps or what did you change?
And since when occurred this issue? Did you install new Apps before this happened?
On my Note I had this issue sometimes without any changes but it was gone after a reboot.
Gesendet von meinem ARCHOS 101G9 mit Tapatalk 2
Agreed with Kanalcommander.... try a reboot in the first instance.
Others have also noted that it takes a few refresh cycles before the phone more accurately reports battery use. Perhaps what you are reporting is because the phone and battery are new (new ROM or Kernel loaded?)
What I have done in the past is to reboot into CWM recovery then clear the battery stats (in the Advanced menu option) Recharge the battery to 100% until it says to remove charger and then use normally until battery down to around 20%, then recharge the battery to 100% again. Do this over a few days and that may help.
thanks, it is new battery two days old.

I was having similar problems with my new note and finishing full charge in 12 hrs but fixed some things and my last charge gave me 2d6hr seriously..few things i did were stop using live wallpapers! Get badass battery to thoroughly monitor stats and then use zdbox to extend life even much eg. I put phone to auto flymode using that app when its sleeping time rest i am more than satisfied even if on GB LC1 fw..waiting for official premium suite for ics since i recently upgraded from sgs2 using ics i miss that smoothness and much better bat life.. Let me know if can be helpful.. Good luck

@TempusFudgeIt
That's what I'm currently doing right now, well, actually, what I do is I discharge the battery until it reaches 0% and turns the phone off. And then I charge the phone for 3 hours while it's switched off, I turn it back on again to check if the battery is fully charged and then I unplug it from the charger.
@Kanalcommander
**Did you delete some Apps or what did you change?
I haven't deleted any apps yet since I don't know which app/s to delete. Most of the apps I downloaded in Note were the same apps that I used in my iPhone4 and Samsung phone before.
**And since when occurred this issue?
This issue occurred since the first day I bought the phone, which was a couple of weeks ago. How long does it take to condition a new battery and new phone?? I'm sorry if I have to ask this question, it's just because I never really experienced this problem with my previous smartphones.
**Did you install new Apps before this happened? On my Note I had this issue sometimes without any changes but it was gone after a reboot.
I only installed recently CPU Spy and BetterBatteryStats and that's it. The drain of 5% from 9:35 to 13:35, the phone's just on deep sleep mode. And then from 13:35 to 23:44, it went from 92% to 74% while the phone is on deep sleep mode at 90% according to CPU Spy. That's 18% battery drain. It's just an unacceptable number for me. I tried rebooting the phone already, but every time I do so, just a few minutes after I turned the phone ON, there's already a 1% drain in the battery.
Also, does the battery really drain faster when the Wifi is ON? I've read in other threads that there might be some problem with the recent OS update that Samsung needs to address. Is this true?? Because as you can see on the screenshot below, the battery was still at 74% by 23:44 and then after I turned ON the Wifi and used it until 01:26, the battery went down to 54%. That's already a 20% battery drain in just less than 2 hours. I was only browsing through the Android Store and Skype.
Calibrate your battery in case you flashed any roms and for first usage I got my battery to 0% 3 times then everything is running great for example its at 47% now its 22 now and I have had it off charge since 7 morning..... i have wifi gps and 3g always on and use music player bluetooth and made some calls

My battery (also only a week old) drains quickly too. Can anyone tell me if widgets draw a lot of current? And then is it only the ones on the visible screen or do all widgets draw juice all the time?
I will ask such thing, did you guys check the battery expiration day ? Mostly sibce you got your phone almost a yeae after it was announced you nay get a bad battery, as for widgets the ones that are always active and asking for informatiom. Like location or weather over the internet yes they do eat your battery kinda fast.

Recurring battery drain? - Caused by memory of using app to drain battery?
Hello!
I used a battery drain app when charge left was 30% to accelerate drain to "die out" stage. After I completed the calibration process for unrooted phone as suggested in various sites (charge fully, switch off and charge etc.) I started using it from a 100% stage.
This afternoon when the battery showed 30% I saw in BMW the current flow was in -10ma to -15ma and it started spiking to hundreds. There was no change in settings or usage. From the 30% level it dropped to 10% in an hour and I had to charge again.
Was puzzled why the battery which was dropping around 0.5%/hour in standby earlier to the 30% level suddenly went down hill. My first guess was it was possible some file in the system remembered the previous usage history and replayed it out.
Any suggestions? Anyone faced this before? Everyone says LiOn batteries dont have memory so if anything it has to be the phone.
Thanks!

Massive Battery Drainage Overnight.. Please Help

I lost 26% of my battery in around 6 hours last night while i was asleep. Never had such a problem. Didnt install any new softwares and Gsam showing that it was awake for only 8 minutes. Wakelock Detector also didnt show any unusual wakelocks. Have no idea what went wrong. Have a non rooted phone. Had my wifi on the whole night (but that is on every night when am at home). And even after restarting my phone, i was yet having the high drainage. I suppose that my phone is just not going into deep sleep for some reason.
Android System or HTC Sense taking a lot of battery usage? That's what I'm getting. 6-10 hours even on idle.
Cause google now!

I think the problem only seems to happen when i am on wifi. Not sure though.
WiFi does tend to drain a lot of battery. I recommend turning it off when you don't need it. Such as when you aren't near an WiFi access point or in this case are asleep.

Standby drain

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the BLU R1 HD's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Good very small drop while not being used, even when loaded up with apps.
I experience pretty bad battery drain on idle. Basically, if I leave my phone alone without turning on the screen, it would be fully drained in about 30 hours.
I've reset the phone many times but phone idle always remain as the top battery draining app. averaging about 100 mah per hour constantly.

Exactly this! My phone uses more battery while on standby than with the screen on watching things! I don't understand this behavior. Powernap + Greenify + Amplify doesn't solve it either, even the things that keep it "awake" are hibernated and also delayed by Amplify. Wakelock detector doesn't even detect any apps that are running during standby either. Also, I have no bad signal because it is always on full bars or 1 less than full.
If anyone figures it out I would love to know how to solve it.
I get this too. Im trying to debloat the rom of some apps that seem a little suspicious. Will do this tonight. Already backed up my current system partition in case I break something. Wish me luck! :good:

Me too. And I have debloted OEM rom to what I consider closest to slim or stock. We'll see later how it goes.
i've pretty much ran the Prime version debloated or the OEM debloated, same thing. I think it has to do with the phone radio and Android 6?
When I put it on airplane mode with only WIFI turned on, phone idle isn't as bad.
Maybe its kernel controlled? Have u tried flashing the 6.6 updates radio.img? Does it contain one? I only used prime to power on the phone from then on only OEM version debloated. And as you say its always consuming batt on idle. I'll give airplane mode a try today.
Alright, I have just installed the xposed module "MobileRadioActiveFix" so this will confirm if it is in fact the data that's impacting standby battery. However, not too sure because "Intelligent Battery Saving" does disable data over time and the draining is still happening in that mode.
Anyways, I'm going to be testing this and report back. @l33chpda @Alex_XV6700

I figured it out, I was monitoring the CPU states and the CPU is not using a hot plug. It nevers makes a core go offline even when the screen is off and it will ramp up while the screen is off because there doesn't seem to be a cap when the screen is off.
I think the only way that we are fixing this is if someone makes a kernel with a hot plug in it.
With Prime 6.4 mine lasts a month on Wi-Fi.

Yes, it doesn't make a difference. I do consistently get 4-6 hours for every two days, however, I can get more if the idle battery life is not there. For example, with your chart, my idle time would be about 45%-55% above the screen.
It's just the way it's reported in this ROM. Instead of looking at the battery stats, just look at the actual battery life of the phone, which is fine.
I have stock V12 vanilla ROM, and I find the standby drain can at times be worse than when I'm using the phone, and I'm not sure why. I'll put the phone in airplane mode and put it to sleep right after unplugging it from charging overnight and when I check on it in an hour or so it'll be down from 100% battery to 90%. When I turn off airplane mode and use the phone normally from that point on, battery drain is normal.

Yes, I experience the same thing! However, overnight, it drains about 10%-20% even though looking at the stats it is not even awake! It should only be draining about 1%-3% because it is not really doing anything at night.
Even the screen uses less power than the standby. @waingro808 could be possibly right that it is just reporting the battery stats different, however, on other phones with the phone idle, that percentage is very low and not as high as ours.

The battery stats dont add up either...
As you can see in my screenshots Im still 14% on battery
And it states that between SOT and Idle I have consumed more than the 2500mAh that this phone has on the battery.

Question Pixel 7 standby drain issue.

Never happened like this. Started dropping 10%+ overnight. I should admit p7 standby drain was never that good. Used to drop around 6-7% on average but suddenly without installing any other apps or making any major changes to my device it started happening. The device is updated to November patch, all major apps is being battery restricted except the few apps i use daily. Like whatsapp reddit... Has anyone fixed this issue or is there any fix ?! TIA.

Screen off 0.7% / hour is pretty standard for Pixel phones. If something is waking the device you can find it usually with Better Battery Stats either on XDA or the Play store. I usually check alarms and partial wakelocks to see if anything is amiss. Sometimes a reboot will clear out the alarms of particular apps. Here ya go.

No it doesn't. Pay attention to this post (#4) and follow the adb instructions to a T. Sometimes you need to restart the BBS app so either force stop it or reboot the phone. Don't forget the hidden_api_policy command (Android 10 and above) at the bottom.

These are your battery stats.. and you aren't happy with them?
My battery is wayyyyy worse..
First, what app are you using to monitor the battery in the screenshot?
Second, is this with mobile service and data on as well?
My phone doesn't idle as good in airplane mode with wifi on!
Makes me feel like there's hope after all for decent battery..
Ill post my stats tomorrow.
And try to get to the bottom of my battery issues..
The app is AccuBattery and it's indeed accurate given enough cycles
It's not that different from my 4XL, still waiting on the 7 to arrive.

First, The app is accubattery.
Second, nope its not data or wifi on. With wifi on it standby drain is okay. But with mobile data its worse i mean far worse. As if its not enters doze or standby only. At best with minimal use it'll last 16-18 hrs with confidence then the low battery anxiety kicks in... I was hoping a far better standby drain. Coz i was optimized it as much as i can. Didn't install anything much. Blocked all the background activities. My p4a with a smaller battery had better standby. Even i heard p6a with tensor 1 chip had better standby drain. I hoped tensor 2 had better optimization efficiency on this end.
I'm in the same boat. Very disappointed in standby battey drain. Mines like ~3-4% per hour when out and about during the day! With 5g off.
Seems crazy high to me.
Hoping some custom kernel goodness or custom rom will improve this...

3-4% is harsh man. It happens to me when using mobile data.
I came from the P6 and have been using the P7 for about a week now. I personally have not seen any noticeable difference in battery drain between the P6 and P7.
Here is my accubattery summary. Screen off at 3.5% per hour, over 80% deep sleep. Even deep sleep state consumes 2.2% per hour. Unbelievably bad.

Did you update the December patch? It improved alot of things including scrolling and standby drain issue. Atleast I've noticed on my device.

That's a little much. Most it should be is around 0.9% / hr and perhaps as low as 0.5%. Find out what is waking your phone with screen off and you'll have the solution. This is not a Pixel 7 thing but a you thing. (well your device not necessarily you)

Yes, I bought the phone recently and when I initially set it up I fastboot flashed DEC build downloaded directly from Google to both slots.

I'm not sure if it's a wakeup issue though. As shown in the screenshot, the deep sleep is above 80% time of total screen off time. And for the deep sleep state it consumes 2.2% per hour. The phone idle item usually also contributes to about 30% - 40% of battery usage overnight when the phone is in standby, which seems to be a good thing according to some opinions I read, since it means no single problem app (user app at least) draining the battery.
I only have the phone completely set up and running for the past week, so I still have patience and see for another week if it's the system still settling down on something. It's just ridiculous to see the phone down to literally 70% from fully charged after an 8 hour sleep when there is not an obvious single problem app.
Maybe I need to start using the good old BBS again...

Yes, BBS will certainly help. My deep sleep with screen off is around 90+ %. One thing to try is a reboot of the device right before you go to sleep. Any partial wakelock and alarms will be cleared out unless they are constantly syncing something in the background. I also think that by now it's pretty much settled so it's something else. BBS is better than Accubattery for stuff like that.

Here's my AccuBattery stats and BBS stats from last night. If I charge it to 100% then the screen off is around 0.5% / hour probably due to the reporting in Android being not entirely accurate. I think I unplugged around 85% last night I try not to go too much above that. As I said something is waking the device up I believe.
Thanks! I installed BBS yesterday and will let it work for a day or two and start troubleshooting. If we compare our accubattery stats, it's interesting that your deep sleep consumes 0.7% per hour while mine consumes more than 2.0% per hour. Even my deep sleep state has problem.
Edit: this is BBS from the last 8 hours or so of complete idle.

The summary and partial wakelock are similar to mine last night only difference being my good signal was 100% where as your moderate signal was 91%. I don't believe that would do it. My overnight drain was 0.8% / hour. Kernel wakelocks never really showed me much but I'm sure the experts over at the BBS thread could shed more light on that with a log upload according to the OP. But I think more important is your alarm screen since unplugged. What does that look like and what's at the top of the list? That might help narrow it down.
Boot into safe mode. Observe drain.
Not sure why but last week kde Connect suddenly locked up my whole phone, disabled now it's better.
When I tried safe mode I had 88% after am 8hr shift. Blew my mind. No idea the culprit but clearly user apps running amok
But, I never experienced stock. Immediately flashed GrapheneOS so I figured was due to to their build
