I have a galaxy note 3 N9005 and the battery life is not what it should be. I've owned this phone for about 5 days. I always have power saving mode on with all the smart and air features disabled. I charged my device to 100%. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks
Wow, that's some horrible battery life. I'm not seeing anything like that on my device though.
Did you condition the battery probably?
And of over 3 hour screen on time.
My advice: try to recondition your battery
As in, let it die, recharge to full from wall outlet. Do that about 3 to 5 times. Don't force it to die just use it normally so the battery will discharge power properly this will causes it to hold more charge.
If you do that and the battery still doesn't hold charge then your battery is good as dead.

Wow you get amazing battery life! Thanks for your help
Is your screen brightness set to 100%? And was what you're doing over excessively white? Because that might account for some of it.
Did you unplug it last at 100% battery, or somewhere halfway? Because from the look of that table, you unplugged it around 50%...

You have defective battery plain and simple. All this talk of calibration is for birds. This lithium batteries don't need that.

I have been having some issues as well
its getting better since last Thursday since i got it but its still not 1 day.
it used to be 5 hours from 100% to 20% brightness in auto
Do we have to "train" the battery to achieve max capacity?
is it battery defect or phone?

My advice, get Tasker to disable mobile data and WiFi when screen is off. Disable Google Now. Disable NFC. Disable GPS until you actually use it. Enjoy your 5+ hour screen on battery life.

Why the hell does the Nexus consume soooo much battery ? I have turned most of the stuff off but you dont get any Google Now, emails etc dont work correctly, - totally useless.
My S2 is better than this.

And? Most people don't seem to get this: Say your battery depletes 1% for every 3 minutes you have the screen on, that's 300 minutes, or 5 hours, of screen time. Which is more than acceptable.

Yeah def better than the gnex which was rather good too. I took my phone off of charge @ 7:20am and put it on charge when it had 4% left @ 1:30am. So pretty much lasted 18 hours with medium use.

What do you mean cell broadcast? Where is that?

2% streaming video, that right, 40 minute netflix = 80% battery gone

I think the best solution for you is to factory reset or re-install android on your device once.
It will be easier than finding out where is the problem. as screen snap shows most of the battery is drained by "android OS".
It was just my opinion you can take it if you want.
My battery usage. Even though my screen on time was only about 2 hrs most of the battery was drained by the screen. So there music be something very wrong in your case.
I don't know about android virus but that might be an option.

Gonna follow along and disable my daydream as well since I'm having the same problem you are with it actually draining while on the charger (Stock ROM, Franco Kernel, OEM wall wart with gold tipped USB cable). Tis quite annoying to have to either keep the screen off or power down completely in order for this bad boy to charge...
This is CRAZY! I'd been using my S4 charger all along and decided to try the cable that came with the phone and I'm IMPRESSED! WOW

Mine charges faster than my Note 2 but not that fast. In general I am happy with the improvements seen.
It's strange that yours charges so fast? Most of the stuff I've read so far for charging with the stock N3 wall charger is that they're charging at around 35%/hr
How's yours doing so fast??

Mines charges under an hour from 10% down to fully charged especially if you don't use the phone while it's charging and even then my phone does the job. I'm pretty sure it varies phone to phone so take this with a grain of salt.

Can the note 3 battery be used in the note 2 and i717
i'm asking because i tried the s3 into my note an it worked perfectly I was wondering if I can buy an oem battery an for the note 3 an put it in my note 1
its possible
I have the same experience as OP. We need some hard data on this. What's the best app for monitoring charging? I use system monitor. I love the battery graph in my pull down menu. I'll post a screen shot from a full charge whenever I get a chance. (I have 87% now so it'll be awhile unless I find something good to download on thepiratebay)

Hello!
I have an AT&T Note 3 running on root and I've noticed that my Lightflow & Swapps app keeps automatically force closing at random times in the day.... this never happened before until I decided to root my phone, and even then, in the beginning everything was running smoothly. Any idea of what could be causing this? I am using the NOVA launcher but I wouldn't see why that would cause an issue... and on Kitkat 4.4, I'd appreciate anyone's input!
Get rid of lightflow! It just sucks up your battery!

Me personally, I recommend none because they all drain battery. How much usage do you get out of your battery before you have to charge it? I get around 1d 8hrs with moderate usage.

From what I do, it actually does last me a while but I do have to charge it when I am at work. From 9 to about 3:30p.m I have to charge it because it's at 10% due to me watching Netflixs all through my work shift, including lunch, while also texting back and forth whenever I need to. My shift ends at 5:30, so by then it's at 100% because I started charging it around 3:30p.m. On a day like the weekend, I hardly use my phone at all since I have my PC so my batter life lasts a really long time without me having to charge it by the end of the day and even then I have about 60%. On a day where I am up and about, my batter lasts me till about 40% all day until I have to charge it. I hope that makes any sense. I don't pay much attention to my battery life since all I use my phone for is netflixs while I am at work and SOMETIMES some gaming, but not all the time. I also hardly call or text anyone.
