If data is on all time that also will consume battery.
Check location services.

yes I know I disabled all connections while in standby mode also I dont use facebook as I know it consume battery alot.

apologies for late reply..... At first go to settings~ power manager~ background management, go to three dots and click restrict all. Other thing which drains ur battery like hell is the GPS.... check that OFF all the times if not used.
Dont use roadside chargers to charge ur mobile, which damages ur battery. stick with branded ones

it is not an app problem the phone battery drain on its own, many reported same issue

Works for me (100% battery for 1 day/ 1.5 day usage) although the lollipop's battery usage still longer than the MM (100% battery for 1.5 day/2 day usage). Try to:
Turn off all the sync in setting > account, and then turn off the cloud print in bottom setting option
Limit background connection in usage setting,
Force all app to don't auto start, except the messenger if you want to have real time notification
Limit the brightness to 20%-30% with auto mode + night mode if necessary
Use dark wallpaper to reduce the screen usage power

Also background app management in power saver will tell if app is running even if its forbidden. So force stop the app from app drawer. This will help in saving battery.

thanks guys for help but really this is not apps problem. if I left my phone idle for 5 hours I get battery from 100% to 45% !!! maybe it is some devices of K4 has this problem not all. any way I hope there is a new update after s232 otherwise I am staying at old firmware version

i have the same problem you should
1-make your semi card 4G
2-do not update the system to mm version 6

Battery Life Help! BatteryStats LogCat Help Please!

Guys, I am getting terrible battery life on the newest BajaRom. I was getting decent battery life but somehow everything changed. I want to note that I cannot access the Media Battery Drain Fix in the BajaROM settings as it crashes EVERYTIME i open it. I have tried everything to install something that will fix media battery drain but I am unsure if this is what is really causing my battery drain. Please any help would greatly be appreciated!

Wakelock Detector and Greenify... are ur best friends on the Note 3.
Turnoff wifi,bluetooth,gps,etc when not in use. Set CPU to on demand. I always have power saver on unless I want to run a game... doesn't seem to effect anything else.
There are a ton of tips for Note 3 battery life...just search here...
I also use LUX for screen brightness, that made a big difference also. Change you wallpapers to darker colors... mine are some sort of black background...
I can make through the day with reasonable usage on Hyperdrive RLS8 and still have battery left...
Haven't tried BajaROM yet...

Thank you for your response. I have greenify'd most of my daily apps and I use wake lock detector and still cant find out the culprit here. It says that my SCREEN is taking up 30% of my battery life after just 2 hours unplugged and minimal use and I'm down to 82%. Can my phone just be inherently defective????
This DOESNT feel right. I NEVER had any complaints of battery with my NOTE 2

Check your data usage. I had the similar situation, saw nothing in the battery usage area....but then checked data usage. I had over 2 Gigs of data usage from EMAIL in only 2 weeks! I had been using the std email app...and get maybe 10 emails a day. Obviously something goofy going on in the sync. Yet battery usage showed next to nothing for the sync process or email app.
I removed my accounts from the email package, froze the email package and installed AquaMail and my battery usage cut by at least half....my data use flatlined.
Obviously it takes power to use the radio for a Gig a week of data....but that does NOT seem to show in battery usage.
so check your data usage...see if email is way out in front. That may be your problem.

I had the same issue with battery life after I flashed to and of the KK roms. My problem was Greenify, and I don't know why. Removing it didn't solve my problem so I'd restart from the beginning. My drain is less than 1% per hour idle without it and almost 10% per hour running all the same apps with greenify in different settings. Jasmine ROM just drained for me all the time.
*first post, be nice. I only joined because of all the trouble I went through to get my battery life back.

I do not have that battery drain problem. In fact battery usage appears lesser than lolli. I saw some people complain about the battery drain though.
When I upgrade MM from Lolli I did clear the cache.
When I installed MM 2nd time, I did the factory reset.
In MM, Asus drops a couple of apps and add some apps that could work with MM. (I do really miss the asus mail which is no long compatible with MM)
MM has autostart manager please use it to prevent autostarting the apps that you do not use.
Also go to the app manager and disable the apps that you are not using.
That is what I did.
Do a clean wipe and see if issue still persists.
Did you disable Asus mobile manager? I did because I hate its addition to the notification bar. When I did this my battery life became awful. I then enabled Mobile Manager and my battery life is fine again (I just have to deal with the notification).
After MM official update
I found out how to reduce the memory and battery drain. Go to setting and location, click on menu on your top right corner then scanning, uncheck wifi and Bluetooth scanning! It save another 10%
Also battery problem here battery only get me one day with Android OS at 55% usage, report it already as bug cause even if the system is new without user apps it still persist for me, something woke up the phone all the time.
I disabled Locations, re-add g-account, disabled G+, and also Facebook Crap. Sad that I'm not rooted, to have a deeper look into it, but I have to send phone to service next month cause the vibration'engine' is dead. just found out that BetterBatteryStats work without root only with adb...
Attached a Screenshot right after a full load. Post second if it's empty.
After installing BBS and could watched at the stats I found the OSPM Wakelock as highest in my stats.... But why my battery is so fast drained if I'm not using the phone
With me also. I use skype like an our a day, and last night i noticed that it went from 97% to 30% in that hour. When i was on LP, it usually dropped to like 60%.
I did a factory reset before rooting the device.

Battery options and different battery saving modes (EMUI Feature)

This phone not only provides a long lasting battery but also have the inbuilt battery modes as per the requirements. You can change the battery mode as per the need and based on my experience it is really handy in case you are running out of battery. With my earlier phone, I ran into such situations many a times when I am outside and battery goes off mid-day and I am left with no option to either come back home leaving my work in between or simply spoil my mood with frustration. In case of emergency you need only calling feature but sometimes the situation becomes worse when phone battery goes off. With the inbuilt battery feature, you can change the battery modes to last longer and to save the time for you so that you don’t need to carry charger with you all the time and you can do your work peacefully without bothering about the battery.
Performance Mode- If you need to play the high end games or multitasking. If you enable this mode, you won’t feel a lag in games or while switching across multiple applications.
Smart Mode- If you are using light applications and using your phone for basic usage of calling, some social media that are not power intensive.
Ultra-Mode- This is the mode you need when you are running out of battery juice and still having long hours to go for the charging. This mode will gain you access to calling and messaging but this is what you really need in case of those hours when you battery is less than 10%.

There are some other useful options available as well in this phone.
Protected apps- you can set which all apps you need when screen turned off like your email account, WhatsApp, social media accounts and disable all other apps which you really don’t need once the screen is off and inbuilt mechanism will kill those apps to consume less battery and RAM to enhance your battery standby time.
Power Intensive apps- you will get notified which all apps are consuming more battery and you can kill them manually to save the juice as per the need.

Here it is quite the same but it isn"t the same total consumption. Screen off but phone is awake.
To be honest, this is normal, stock ROMs have big battery drain when idle, phone just won't go to sleep or Doze, it will be awake all the time. You can try app ForceDoze - it forces phone to enter Doze when your screen is off, you will just need ADB to install it completly.
I never drained my battery while in sleep while using stock ROM. Are your data connection, WIFI, and location turned off? Do you use two sims in your phone? You might as well consider turning off Auto-Sync upon leaving your screen off for few hours. If none I suggested works, it might be really one of your apps.

I use a single sim, although it is solved at least in my case by putting the phone in airplane mode, it is not the idea.
How is that to deactivate Auto-Sync?

I did not know it, thank you very much and I have installed it and I have given it the permissions by adb, hopefully it solves it, greetings and thanks.

This is not my experience of stock ROM, my phone will literally go for days if I don't wake it, I think you might have an unoptimised app that is using a lot of power.
Doze is clearly working, it's listed there.
One of your apps is causing it by the look of it. But there's not enough data, you're showing us the battery use for like a full day.

You can turn off auto-sync under Settings > Users and Accounts. Just don't foget to turn it on again to avoid late notification from your apps.
Something is up with your sim if that's your case. Are you sure that the three connections I stated above are turned off?
i got the same problem and i have sync and gps and bluetooth turned off. can anyone tell me how to install doze? do i need root and the bootloader unlocked also?

install better battery stats, give it permissions via ADB.
Then monitor a full charge and see what partial wakelocks, alarms, processes are using your battery.

Hi I did, how you told.
I charged the phone up to 100% and left for 30 minutes without any use and captured following screenshots.
Do I understand correctly that the phone is always awake because of the lg gnss bloatware?
are you getting same battery life on lte and wifi
your lte signal looking too low
if it fluctuate a lot then it will take a lot of battery .
0% deep sleep
I don't mean to be glib, but the advice for battery issues is always the same (and mind-numbing basic):
1. Remove unnecessary apps
2. Factory reset the phone
None of the dozens of other tweaks mentioned here make a difference for most people.
And you can't do anything about signal strength.

I done some other tests after phone reboot and I becomed result with 87% deep sleep. But it does not matter if I used wifi or mobile data, the sot is always the same short.

I supposed that all the tweaks can barely help. I had hope that I could find some fix before reset the factory settings. In some way the phone is to be used and it is simply annoing the set the whole setting from scratch after reset....
But I think I don't have any other possibility (or I can wait for a Pie and hope for the improvement after the update)

Try to disable the WIFI and Bluetooth searching for improve the location. And then do again the test to see the deep sleep.
With accubattery app, you can estimate how"healthy" your battery is.
In normal usage, you would get about 18% of battery usage per hour with screen on, and max 1% with screen off
I made some tests with AccuBattery and the drain on screen on is unacceptable about 25-28%. The battery health is about 96%.
I use mcs magisk module with 90/80% config since day one with greenify + xposed module and after a year of relatively heavy use I'm still getting ~6h SoT (35% brightness). Maybe you should try to greenify some apps? Without root you have limited options though.
