I'm not good at catching changes so that would be great.

I am hoping battery life regulates. I have had phone on charger all day. I am getting about 15% battery drain in 30minutes, sitting idle.
I have already factory reset my device, and will contact Tmo/Samsung this evening to see if there are known issues and what i can do help.

So after a few days, of using phone as usual, it has regualted itself back to normal.
Not sure what was hogging the battery for a couple days. But all is good now.
Now, i did the same update for my wife 2 days ago, and she had no issues.
So, maybe i caught a bad install.

I just installed apex launcher yesterday and thought id change the power toggles icon to battery to keep an eye on how the launcher would affect my battery life. A few hours ago i charged my phone fully. I noticed the battery went to 98 percent fairly quickly but then it went back up to 100. I checked my battery stats to make sure it wasnt just the power toggles playing up. But the graph actually showed the battery percentage going up.
Any ideas?
Is your device new?

The battery meter and graph are more of a rough approximation of your battery. It reads off of the current the battery receives. If it spikes you could see the battery graph drop a little and then go back up.

AW: Weird Battery?
I had this 100-98-100 bug, too. Happened to me 2 times. It seems to be just a small bug, doesn't bother me too much.

Ever since I purchased my Note 3 I have been having crazy battery drain. My phone won't make it past 4 hours. I tried doing a hard reset and it made it for about 11 hours but once I put my apps back on it starts draining crazy again
I have to charge it about 5-6 times a day. For example this morning It has been of the charger for an hour and is down to 78%. In the battery stats it shows media server is using all the battery and I can't for the life of my figure out why or what app could be causing it. My phone also won't update every time I check for one it fails. I havent rooted it or anything I just need it to last as long as my Note 2. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Try watchdog app it does a decent job telling you what's going on in the back ground

All reviews I've read online have said that it'll last the day easily which is all I need. Extreme Power Saving Mode is a handy feature too.
Off the battery at 7AM EMT, so far at 94% with GPS and wifi on. Doing well! I wish I could check on screen time though...
EDIT:
As of this post, it is 9:27AM right now.

Use Gsam battery monitor to check on screen time.
I forgot I purchased that a while back. Thanks! Hopefully I don't need the root companion to it..

The Power Saving Mode isn't in the Verizon variant yet. Said to be coming in an update.
Battery drained about 1% per hour overnight. GPS and Wifi on.

Not as good as every reviewer was saying.

Phone was just released yesterday. As with all other battery powered devices, give it a few days and break it in. That's when you see just how good or bad it really is. One day later does not give you a definitive answer.

This is my first day on a full charge. Less than my Note 3 and Flex.

Hi,
A couple of days ago I updated my S5 to G900FXXU1ANE2 with Kies 3 from my PC.
I've noticed worse battery life, but I guess its too early to judge so I'll give it a week or so and a few more cycles.
However, I have noticed that during ALL games the battery gets ridiculously hot. I've never had this on any previous firmware updates. If its related to the flash/firmware then I am tempted to go back as it never used to get hot and battery life was a couple of days.
I know there will be some stock answers advising me to do a factory reset, but I'd really rather not.
Cheers,
GG
Same here..my screen gets very hot since update

I had strange battery life, too.
"Multimedia" drained my battery and phone became hot!
It seems that there is a scan of every media on SD after update..
Today I have another problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2737673
EDIT: Multimedia started again draining my battery.. I can't believe it..!!!
Noticed my battery life isn't as good after the update either. Not noticed any difference heat wise though.

Kill the bluetooth test process, it causes a damned large amount of wakelocks.... that helped a lot for me.
Also NFC despite being turned off, it was causing some wakelocks for me.

Change to the All tab in the Application Manager and scroll, it should be below bluetooth share and it will have Force Stop enabled.
Got it. The only thing is that it will restart after every reboot because you can't disable it. I switch my phone off at night. Will force stop and see if it improves my battery life though.

Heres to hoping that Samsung release another update to resolve this.
Its a shame coz on the previous firmware the battery life was awesome.

i noticed this too..
So before I updated my phone battery life was amazing.
But when I updated my phone to the latest update, battery has decreased.
I have not done anything different when I updated.
Anyone else?
Fix?

The same here. After January safety update - soft ver.: v10k-idn-xx, my battery SOT decreased from 5-6 hours to 2-3! Before update if I unplug phone from charger at 22:00, at 6:00 it was 97-99% of battery, now in the same conditions at the morning I got 84-88%. Now I'm waiting for oreo with the hope that they fixed it
My phone is H990DS.
