Had this bug the other time, only way to fix it is by factory reset the device and reflash the rom, its a bug that was present in android v4.3, but fixed in v4.4+.

Go to the Battery details in your settings as tap the mm-qcamera-daemon app the details will appear see if you have option to force stop, disable, delete the app start do force stop and see if it works as it may affect the camera itself so wouldn't disable or delete it.
The issues in 4.4.3 I think it was and mainly affected the Nexus but is was caused by 3rd party apps that access the camera, I don't think the specific app was identified but if you have installed apps such as Skype, Snapchat, Instagram remove them to see if the problem goes away completely, I would remove them all then install them back one at a time to try and identify which one is causing it that's if you have these type of apps installed.
If you are rooted then install Titanium Backup and see if the app appears in the list and freeze it, I think you would need to purchase TB to get this option.
Some things for you to try before you have to do a factory reset.

Hadn't really noticed a huge drain though.
Edit: I'm running DCv1.
Just checked mine. I'm at 88% display and 12% cell standby. Running Darchtrev v2.
Using DC v1
Cell Standby 70%
Phone Idle 20%
Display 8%
Android System 2%
im right there with you ajones. anybody have ideas as to why this is? i havent really seen a difference in battery life though. could just be a glitch.
Did you guys open the camera before you checked?
no. its been like that for a while. last time i used the camera was last night.
Not right before... I did use my camera today though.
I don't like telling people this because you can get in trouble by closing the wrong thing but... try a task killer and make sure the camera is completely closed.
Many Roms come with Astro of ES File Manager and those have a task viewer/killer built in.
i tried that. didnt see the camera as one of the running processes.
Maybe its an app running like goggles or barcode.
just checked. only thing that i could think of to have a hold on the camera is handcent and the messaging app. closed those. ill see what happens
*update*
so that didnt do anything. still reading at 93%. anybody have any ideas or are we just out of luck?

You have really strange and incorrect battery stats.
It says that while your screen is on, your device is not awake. That's impossible. So the stats are incorrect.
My guess is that some app is constantly updating your location. You have to search for the app that is causing it. It can also be something like that find my phone from Samsung.
Why not update to 4.4.2 and do a complete wipe and start fresh?
i didnt notice that but im not sure, are the stats not meant to be like that?
ive had issues when going to fresh roms where battery drain is still present thats what's stopping me from moving..
with regards to samsung's "find my mobile", settings crashes when i go to "remote control" or any other options under that menu so im guessing i might have already disabled the service
are there any other suggestions?
If starting fresh on a new rom keeps having the same problems, then either you have a faulty battery or it's something you do that is causing it.
And no the stats are not meant like that. If you screen is on, then your device is awake. It's impossible for you screen to be on and you device not te be awake.

Camera failed

Has anyone faced message camera failed? ??

Remove the battery while phone is running and restart. Hopefully that will fix it. Otherwise you may have to do a factory reset. Or, your phone is damaged.
After restart everything works as it should

I've had the same issues with my Note 4. I searched a lot online trying to find an answer.
If it was a hardware problem, I think you would see WAY more people having an issue. Plus I tried one persons attempt and it worked for me.
I removed Tesla Flashlight app and rebooted (not factory reset). Once the phone turned back on, the camera worked fine. I've heard from others to remove any flashlight type app and it fixes it.
Again if it was a hardware problem, I don't see how removing certain apps would fix it. It could be a hardware/software issue.
My problem now is that I use my flashlight a lot and if I can't have a flash light on my phone, I consider it a major FAIL for Samsung. Such a shame because I've been such a supporter for so many years.
This problem occurs because your flashlight app could be locking out your camera hardware in order for it to use the flash. This behavior maybe different for other flashlight app so try switching to other app.
Oddly for my model of Note 4 I don't need to download a flashlight app since there's already a built in widget in there plus it can function even when I use the camera. Try looking for it in the widgets menu it's name is torch with a green icon.

[Q] Huge battery drain. Any ideas?

Hi
These past few days the battery has been draining ridiculously fast.
I charged it before bed and then it's basically sat with the screen off since.
34% battery gone to AndroidOS and Android System.
Better Battery Stats hasn't been very helpful as I'm not rooted. It does say that it's been "awake" 100% since unplugged.
Here's some shots. Anyone know particular culprits?

Delete everything inside your android folder in internal memory and memory card.
That would wipe all of my game saves etc wouldn't it?
Seems a background processing is keeping the phone awake. It might be because Bluetooth is on.
You can try using Greenify to Force Stop most of the apps (Does not require root). I find that my phone does not wake up much after it Force stopped most apps.
Do note that you would want to leave messaging apps running or you will not receive messages.
I have a Gear S connected by BT LE but I thought the point of BT LE was it's low power. ..
Ok. Update. Having turned off the Gear S and killing it's connection, that wasn't the cause as it's still 100% awake whilst screen off.
Ok. It seems to be Samsung's Gear Manager app. Uninstalled and it goes into deep sleep straight away. With it installed, even when not connected to anything, it keeps the phone awake.

Always some RAM left

When I open many apps, let's say 20, phone doesn't keep them and frees some RAM even though apps are open in background (in recent apps list). So, for example, if I open many apps and first of them was Facebook and then I wanted to open it from recent list, it would reload even though there's some RAM left. It's always around 800MB-1GB remaining and never used.
It's a phones common procedure, to minimize the battery drain.
If the app (Facebook, Twitter e.t.c) isn't used for 20ish seconds, it'll close automatically, to stop the battery drain.
This procedure can be stopped, by rooting your phone, and using specific apps, for example "speed-up swap" it's available in Google play
Actually you don't need root to prevent apps from closing you have to add them to white list in phone manager -> battery -> protected apps.

You can also lock them in memory by swyping from top to bottom on specific app in recents menu.

Yes, main apps are in protective apps list but no matter what ram is never filled. What's the use of 2GB of ram if only one is used? I want it to fill completely before closing apps
