Battery lasts 50% less After 4.4.2 kitkat upgrade - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Two days ago I've installed last official upgrade to 4.4.2 kitkat on my unrooted 4.3 Note 3.
Phone is worst than before.
Battery life is signifincatly less (about 50% less) and the phone (petfect before) now is slower and less snappy.
Solid Explorer (the file manager) is mo more able to write to external SD.
And I read Other people have same problem no matter the file manager they use.
Anyone have noticed same things?

If you are rooted, there is a fix for the SD card issue. Else, just wait for the OTA.
For the other problems, try a factory reset.

Did anyone come up with a fix

In same situation as yours I factory reset & clear catch in recovery, now battery life is amazing:thumbup:

Found battery life to be better in kit kat if anything. I did factory reset before upgrading though.
The Samsung file manager writes to external sd. If you don't want to root you might just have to put up with that piece of garbage until the solid explorer Dev gets around to updating his app to comply with the new security requirements in kit kat.

I have had very good battery life on kitkat. it all depends on how you set up the rom. Also these screenshots are just an average day.. i booted into recovery twice.

Prolonged uptime will eventually lag a stock device, assuming you're not using an type of script or whatever, anyway the purpose of this thread is for everyone to post their longest uptime (screenshot) without shutting off your phone entirely, and charging when needed as usual, and report any issues they have due directly or indirectly to their uptime.

Good idea. However a lot of us swap batteries which prevent us from having long uptime...

I go about 3 or 4 days and usually swap out a battery by then. But yeah, caches fill and it is hard to recover memory after a few days.

I swap batteries daily...
Have ROM Manager and Titanium to do automatic backups...and Titanium reboots.
My uptime is usually a while. Then it gets slow, i reboot.
I get about 18-30 hours of uptime before the battery dies and I swap for another one. (Not counting eh17 reboots)
Wish I could help out, but I reboot each night when I place it on the charger and 1st thing when I take it off in the morning. Have found it helps to reduce issues and mantain prime performance.

Using stock EH17 with mkasick compiled kernel, I was at 40 hours uptime before I rebooted the phone because of a bluetooth issue. (Couldn't reconnect car bluetooth, icon showed connected even after stopping and starting bluetooth).

try battery calibration
This is common problem on the galaxy tabs. Dont worry just yet. I had the same problem on the stock rom but as soon as I flashed task650's rom the problem dissapeared. Try just using the tab a couple of charge cycles(charge all the way, then let die completly). There also some apps on the market that will reset battery stats but I think you might have to root to do that. If you havent already, I would try to root/install custom recovery, because this gives you many more ways to troubleshoot your problem.

Android-System Battery Drain after Update to Kitkat

Hi There,
after I updated to kitkat, I have more Android-System drain then screen. Over 23% Android-System and round about 20% Screen.
With Jelly Bean I have had 50 % for screen and I could use my Phone for 3 days with normal use, 2 hours Screen ON Time per day...
My Phone is NOT rooted and I can't analyse the drain with wakelook detector.
Maybe anyone have the same issue with the phone and can help me to find a solution.
here a few pics from my phone and the Battery-consumption
excuse me for my bad English!
best regards

Solution is very easy. Factory reset your phone. NOTE: Files in Internal SD would be deleted too. So backup whatever you need, or everything in there to your PC, just in case.
Follow up with my battery saving tips here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2579075
I tried before I post here. Doesn't help! ?
I forgot to tell, I use greenify und disabled a lot of bloat ware

With pure stock unrooted Kitkat, it seems Android OS/System sits around 17-25% average. You can limit the usage by turning off GPS and uninstalling Google Search / Google+ and switching off Google Now. Reboot into recovery mode (yes stock recovery) wipe cache and then boot up the phone again. Simple no bells and whistles tweak. It works.
Thank you for the answer!
This steps are already done. It doesn't help ?

Very bad WiFi connection since a week

Hello, since a week my connection is very bad.
I think it's after formatting to f2fs.
Now I'm using ext4 and a TouchWiz Rom but the connection is still bad. I think after changing to TouchWiz it was good for one day.
I'm Facebook and instagram the pictures loading after an hour and it takes very long to download an app from playstore.
It does take very long to show the pictures in play store. But after wating till the download starts, it downloads at normal speed. Don't know why [emoji15]
Wrong section. Post in QnA please. Btw you seriously waited an hour for FB picture to show?!?
Didn't know that I was in the wrong section. I want sure that my phone started the thread because of the internet problems.
I didint wait so long but it feels like that.
Here an example
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It does take very long. Before it was not so slow. Only my device is so slow.
My tablet get an good connection.
Any solution ?
I flashed TouchWiz because I thought its an problem with aosp
Sorry i forgot a few information.
Note 3 9005 LTE
Android 5.0
Newest Bootloader
Router settings ok
Only with my note 3
Maybe since I formatted to f2fs
Now i got ext4 but its still the same
Try FXR wifi fix and rescue from playstore. See if it works.

After lollipop touchwiz released I flashed bootloader and the rest.
But the issue is since a week.
I got flashed lollipop touchwiz since its released
Edit:
I think it´s fixed now
I think it was my router ..........
Happy for you anyway

Battery usage shows that WiFi is always turned on in Lollipop (N9005)

Hi
I noticed that the battery usage shows that my WiFi is always on even though I'm pretty sure it's never turned on.
Is this a general bug in all Lollipop versions? And if so could it be the reason for the battery drain in the Android 5.0?

In my Lollipop polish official version is the same bug.
LOL that isn't a problem related with Lollipop, it was there from Jelly Bean and it's not a problem, I think it's some kind of feature! Just turn off always scanning option under WiFi option (menu-advanced).

I tried turning the options you mentioned off but nothing changed. I was told that the N900 models also shows the same problem with Lollipop, so I guess this is a general bug :/ . Hopefully Samsung will fix it with an update ASAP.
