Incredibly poor battery - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK, so I have a 920I running 5.1.1, and today I was almost fully on mobile data. And I got truly, down to earth, horrible battery life. How bad you might ask? 1 percent every ten minutes. 6 percent an hour. In standby. SOT stood at 1h 20m.

So, anyone have any explanation? I barely have any apps on here: WhatsApp, Clash Royale and Clans, Snapchat (not logged in) and Tapatalk. Thats it. I just factory reset the phone last week too.
Im starting to think there's something with my Google account, as poor battery life seems to carry over on every Android device I own. My gmail account is particularly old, since 2007 if im not wrong, so perhaps theres an issue with that?
Nevertheless, ANY suggestions are welcome.

It seems you played that new supercell game a lot.

Try package disabler pro? That usually helps with battery or try wipe cache and finally if those dont work than try reeset phone.

Not nearly enough to make the phone's battery suck this bad. My Moto X takes only a very slight hit when playing.

I share the same observation, after the ICS update my Galaxy note the package access helper is using most of the CPU, and it is draining the battery!
Any help in understanding the process would be helpful
Ive just checked my phone and no Package acess helper icon there but i do have battery drain

I've tried stock ICS LPY and LQ2 and it seems this is one of those rogue services that is destined to fry your phone. It seems to fire up when uninstalling apps and then gobbles up huge amounts of CPU and just keeps going.
This morning I installed 3-4 small apps and quickly uninstalled two of them. The uninstalls took ages - like over a minute each - and the phone was getting warm at the back. I used System Panel Lite to check on processes and CPU usage and this little ****er was going like the clappers and showing no sign of stopping.
Another one to look out for on stock ICS is the Samsung keyboard, and possibly other keyboards (e.g. Swiftkey X) too. They seem capable of clocking up huge CPU minutes if the wind is in the wrong direction, despite the keyboard barely being used, if at all. I have no idea what prompts the crazy behaviour on that one, but I've seen it several times over the course of different ICS installs.
I never saw these problems with the Gingerbread ROMs.
Up..
Can anyone help us with this annoying problem?
I don't know why it would have high battery usage unless an install did not complete correctly and left the process running. Have you tried a battery pull reset?

[Q] Google Now is slow!

Hello guys!
My dad just got the S3 and I fell in love with the OS almost instantly! Just days letter an update was released for the Note - guess what, it is the same OS and features!
Google Now was the feature I was most looking forward to but sadly the voice recogniser is late to start. As you all know - the device can only hear you when the Microphone Icon has turned red. It is late by about 1 second and when asking small questions to the phone, that is a lot :/
Does anyone know how I can fix this? The phone hasn't been flashed or anything, it is just as I bought it except it has some updates from Samsung/Google.
Here it is when it is working

Hello, x33eraser,
My problem with the app is that it is slow to understand/ hear questions. Basically the Red sign comes on later than it should, for example, if I said:
"Price of Champions League Tickets" it will only hear ' pions league tickets' or something completely ridiculous.
Can this be fixed?

Well, I can only suggest to try clear its cache or reinstalling it.
To clear cache settings>applications , find the app, tap on it and clear its cache. If both doesnt work, you might wanna contact the dev, it could be the app stability.
How is your Internet connection? Stable?
Also, the dev is google lol.

[Q] Battery loss from "Modality Service"?

I'm getting some fairly significant battery drain from something called "Modality Service." It probably wouldn't annoy me so much if I had any clue what it was. Anyone seeing anything similar? Any idea what it is? My searches on the matter are coming up empty.

On and off through the day.
Interestingly "Modality Service" hasn't shown up at all today, with 7.5 hrs on battery. It's pretty intense when it does though, and I'm still deeply curious.
I saw this on someone's screen shot the other day, googled it and it didn't return anything related to it.
I think the use who posted had data disabled for most of the battery cycle, maybe it has to do with that? Not sure though

I have the same issue. I noticed it yesterday, I had very low usage and it was the top battery user. I clicked on it and it said it used GPS for the whole time my phone was on but I have GPS off, so that was odd. Also I checked into BatteryStats+ and it didn't even have it using my battery. It appears it isn't affecting my battery life because my CPU usage was only about 2s. I have no idea what it is though. I posted this on G+ and a guy replied saying he was on the phone with Motorola multiple times and ended up getting a replacement. I'd prefer not to go that route...
I too just noticed this last night and today. Last night it was showing using 48% of the battery and today using 38%. I found the service and force closed it. Not sure what it does or is.
Do you all have moto assist activated. It's only an issue for me when moto assist is trying to determine if I am driving. If I disable the driving portion, modality service never appears

All of a sudden for me too, GPS is now eating up to 15% of my battery and the Android OS is at 11%... I noticed this this morning. The only thing I installed last night was Greenify...
Quite similar to what I have. Android system and Android os always on top

This is new for me. I normally have pretty crap battery life but services and OS are normally never this high. The battery on my phone is so hit or miss. It 's behavior seriously changes daily. I don't get it.

By the way, it got me to 8.30pm yesterday before I had to charge. As bad and inconsistent the battery is, at the very least I can say it gets me to dinner without too much babying. I'm just concerned when it drains much quicker than usual which means I can't use it as much for it to survive.

battery life problem

The battery life was all good until last week when I started to experience some problems. The standby drain is awful, usually I lose around 10 - 15 % overnight - 8hrs. The awake time is good. When I use it it's good. for example today I was at 85% after 2 hrs of youtube and facebook at about 13. At around 18 I had 3.15 hrs of screen on and I was at 65%. After two hours I was at 51% with no usage.
Anyone with the same problem?
Solution will be appreciated!
Thanks!
Go to bootloader recovery and clear the partition cashes thats what i did and its better now

Further to my last, although I haven't made a factory yet, but as I see in battery usage there is a huge drain probably coming from Huawei home, which for sure was never that high in the past, maybe 1-2% with heavy usage. In this cycle it has drained almost 120mah out of nowhere?
Now I barely use the phone and battery drains like crazy.
See attached.
Any tips before factory reset?
