My T-Mobile note 2 battery is draining extremely fast its NOT rooted. So I don't understand why isn't draining so fast someone please help. And if anyone is having this same problem how did you fix it without getting a replacement device.

Check the battery stats for "gpsd". Mine started draining after updating to 4.1.2. It appears (for me at least) that the Samsung "find-your-phone-if someone-steels-it" was behaving badly.
If this is the case for you. Switch the service/function of and notify Samsung.
How many hours do you get when your battery is draining fast?
My stock phone started to drain fast as well. Within 6 hours unplugged I see myself having only 60 percent remaining with barely an hour screen on time. I tried to narrow it down to a rogue app but it seems the OTA was more plausable and easier to blame lol
Now back to using Jedi again.

It's called DIVE and does more than just recover lost phones, it is a management suite, not that I've spent a lot of time on it so far.

My phone isn't rooted. And Im new too this so I'm a little bit lost on what to do. Before that T-Mobile update I would get 24hrs+ but I'm lucky enough too get 8hrs and that's without heavy use

That's pretty terrible even if it's not conditioned yet. Especially because it sounds like you have only light use. You may want to take it back and replace the battery. Either that or you're in an area with terrible signal.

Take it back and get a new one. I just bought one on friday and even with heavy use my battery has lasted 20+ hours.
Sounds like a bad battery then. Happened to me on another phone. I just asked for a new battery and they gave it to me no problem.
I don't even have full bars and I get a minimum of 12 hours on pretty semi heavy use. I don't use wifi and I get at least 3-3.5 hours of screen on time.

Excellent news, glad it worked out. Where did you end up getting your battery? And if you don't mind me asking, how much did it set you back?
Apps like Facebook would drain my battery really fast. I use friendcaster now. Also make sure your not using the wireless location in the gps setting.

Hi everyone I got my phone 4 days ago and have been through charge cycles but my battery life sucks. I only get a Max of 2hrs on screen time and 12 hours with the phone on (if its in airplane mode the whole time). Also, it takes forever to charge. I charged it from 7pm to 10:30pm and it went from 2% to 34%. And as i type this message (on wifi) I lost 3% battery life. What should I do?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Also it seems that display takes up 50% battery (which is good) but as soon as I send one text, phone immediately goes to 50% and display down to 18%. It stays that way all day and rebooting does not help. And the battery percent goes up and down without charging. And yes I have calibrated it multiple times

Yup, I can get 4+ hours screen time, not on power saver. You need to swap your phone out, something's not right.
Something is definitely wrong. I had a 45 minute conversation in my car today with the screen on for navigation and it only drained 15%. I was quite impressed.

Then they'll start charging. My friends Sensation legit needed a back cover for his phone (power button was shot and volume rocker fell out) but he couldn't get one from HTC after three attempts.
Try doing a factory reset. It helped on my S3.

I've been running the ota rooted JB ROM since it came out. I am not running any tweaks at all. Only difference is that I am rooted. Well battery life at first was awesome I would go 15+ hours with 3.5-5 hours of screen time. Now for the last week I have only been able to get 10 hours with 2.5 hrs of screen time max. want to know if anyone else has noticed this.
Oh and my phone seems to heat up a lot when I am only on FB and texting.

Turned off diagnostics how does that affect battery life? And that usage was on 4g just got home and turned on WiFi. GPS is always off. Anything else?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
Turning GPS and WIFI off makes no difference. Those draw no power unless they're in use. WIFI only passively looks for a signal when it's on (every 30 seconds and gps is only active if an app uses it. Juice Defender will cause your battery to drain faster too.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
My battery life takes a dive when leaving GPS on all the time I don't know if it has something to do with jelly bean or not? It also keeps the phone awake, thus definitely using more battery.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
So many devs would like to have a talk with you...
T-Mobile Galaxy S 3, stock and rooted.
Actually the 4G radio uses more battery than wifi. Wifi can turn itself off after inactivity, having apps syncing all the time if you have it on will drain battery immensely. Mainly because it's suppose to be sleeping yet it still running and working and those apps will have a great time doing that. also depends how long you had phone, I have read batteries tend to drain faster after about 5 to 6 months of use.

Ever since Jelly Bean (cm or tw) battery life just isn't what it was on ics I was pulling 20 hour runs with 4 hours of screen time with ics, now I can barely get 9-10 hours with 2 hours of screen time.. It's almost like I'm afraid to use my phone because it'll die.. Very frustrating ik. Hopefully Google addresses this issue in android 4.3 (presumably key lime pie)
Until then, turn off Google Now, and maybe try to pinpoint some random app possibly causing wake locks and not letting the phone sleep properly (with the use of this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 )
