note 2 update to 4.1.2 - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey i was a while ago waiting for the 4.1.2 update of the note 2 n7100 ... i saw a couple of days ago that people are not satisfied with the update and that it is causing problems ,, mainly the " SDS" and others complaining about freezes.
can someone tell me what is the update version that is having this problem??
also have anyone here faced this problem with the update

if your eMMc chip is vulnerable to sds, the 4.1.2 temporaly fix it,also it fix exynos abuse
The problem i have faced since the update is:
The phone will never go on deepsleep,reducing battery life.
Is highly recommended that if your phone is vulnerable to sds upg to 4.1.2

well i checked and my phone is not vulnerable ,, i saw that the update has some new features that seemed to be useful , i will consider updating ...
anyway thanks bro

There are no problems with 4.1.2, it has several small improvements. Never had reboot or freeze or anything wrong happen. The only problem is battery life which is shorter then with 4.1.1....

I don't have any "numbers" but it is so OBVIOUS, not small difference.... I.e. overnight drain was 1-2% now it is 10% at least... previously I charged my Note II until midnight, in the morning it was like 98%, I used it whole day at work and came home at 5pm with like 40-50% battery. Now I charge it at work until lunchtime (12:00) and come home and it is like 40-50% level... so NOTICABLE diference....

Yes, I agree, I wouldn't flash if I was not afraid of Sudden Death Syndrome, since I have the chip they say can fail under 4.1.1....

Taken on my 4.1.2 stock device. And that's with BT on all the time, and WIFI on when the screen is on, and just a brief 10 minutes or so on charge.
Battery life on 4.1.2 is just fine.

some devices will have normal battery life on 4.1.2, my phone got a random wakelock with 4.1.2, while my mother note 2 with 4.1.2 got normal battery life.
pd: i see you charged your phone in that screen.

I state quite clearly that I did charge it, briefly. It makes bugger all different to the overall power consumption, which you can see quite clearly.

forget everything now,,, look guys i am updating my phone .. tonight i will post my battery status
however; tonight i will include battery status of my phone with no background apps..[i will shut down everything including wifi , BT , antivirus]
tomorow i will turn on BT, WIFI & lookout antivirus

I was expecting to find more people talking about issues with the 4.1.2 upgrade - does appear to be a minority (that I am unfortunately in)
Since upgrading, my (sim free) Note 2 has gone from being just about perfect in operation and behaviour to suffering;
- Daily episodes of freezing (often requiring a battery out to reset)
- 2 or 3 times a day it will randomly re-boot itself
- whilst typing on keyboard often suddenly goes very laggy
- battery life has *defnintely* worsened (probabbly by around 15% or so per days use - it does deep sleep though)
- calendar view/settings reset themselves every re-boot (annoying)
All the above annoy the cr4p out of me, as I am super picky with my phones/devices and I'm pretty dissappointed with this - given the phone was SO slick pre-update. I can't stand to have a buggy phone, so unless there's an update to cater for these issues very soon (.3?) it's S4 for me.
(I would roll back to .1 in a heartbeat, but looking at how to do it, it's tantamount to a rooting processs in it's 'complexity' - you guys may be adept at such things, but to me they just look like an uneccessary ball-ache - shame there can't be a kind of 'macro/apk/idiots program' that does it all for you! But there you go, I'll have to suffer for now and see which way to jump in a few weeks I guess).
My advice? DON'T upgrade to .2 - I can't see any discernable benefit in day to day use, but I can see a LOT of irritating downside.
Very pi55ed off

Sounds like you've got something else going on than the 4.1.2 update. I have NONE of those issues at all, and battery life is just as excellent as it ever was.

i'm on 4.1.2
I've updated my mobile to 4.1.2
Baseband version : N7100XXDLK7
Build number : N7100XXDMB5
and i don't have any single problem with that update....
and the battery performance has really improved

overnight test ... without BT or WIFI but antivirus is on

tonight i will put BT and WIFI on

May I ask why you suspect a drain, like how long does it last and also what's wrong with the built-in bat-stat?
My biggest recommendation is to avoid DL'n every single app and keep it to a minimum.
Mine last roughly 2days with a screen time of 3-4h without charging (was away a weekend recently and took my chances and left the charger at home, used the camera alot incl. 4k shooting and alot of music videos playing and made all the way home with 1 percent )
Best phone in terms of battery I've come across yet.
on the stock rom and kernel?
Hello, what's your android version and firmware build number? I would like to use it because i'm on 4.4.4 build 14.4.A.0.108 and I'm experiencing fast battery drain.

Changing ROM will not help in most cases if you won't discover what is eating battery.
I am on the same above ROM and kernel and I don't complain.
Term 'fast' is not much precise, either.
BTW:
1.3%/h is pretty reasonable if phone was in use from time to time.
Base rule with BBS is to check batery over night, when it is not used at all.
Under those circumstances you should see 0.1-03%/h and that is completely fine.

As always - check that all automatic synchronizations are off.
google, pictures, facebook, whatsapp.
Hope you don't use WiFi all the time, nor you scan for available networks.
BetterBatteryStats is really helpful, read corresponging thread.

i dont think using wifi and auto sync will drain my battery from 60% to 6% in just a second. Anyway, i ordered a replacement battery from witrigs. Hope this fixes my problem. Ive tried factory resets and repair through pc companion. still no improvement. Turning stamina mode improves my battery. It no longer drops 50% in a second, just 10%. Still way too low compared to my excellent battery life with kitkat. Before lollipop, i charge my phone every 2 days with heavy use. Now, i need to charge it twice a day with moderate use.

If so - I'd come back to KK before replacing battery, if for no other reason then to prove LP is guilty.
BTW:
Long ago I decided not to upgrade to LP.
Looks like evey step ahead is in real life step back.
Everything is more complicated, wants more maintenance, yet works worse than old simple tools.

My battery is also doing this but then i question which is the true percentage...so then i quickly take the charger out and its just drops in a minute so i know if it thinks its dead its dead.

I would hope so as my device is 3 month old and im guessing ur device isnt that old...it would be horrible if batterys were going wrong that fast...no i would say its got something to do with the device judging the level incorrectly fo whatever reason and your idea of calibration is the right direction....i think im going to try as couple of suggestions in that link myself tbh.....if ur battery was to be lasting like an hour though then i would say somethings not quite right.

I just got in on monday this week, the battery usually last for about a day with 3-4 hours of screen on time with reading and web browsing, with a bit of gaming which seems to kill it pretty fast. I am currently let it charge overnight and the do a full charge cycle to see what will happen. Thanks for your help :good:

My battery jumped when I was playing clash of clans when my battery was at 10%. It went from 10% to 3%. So then I rebooted and it went back up to 5%. So when my battery was almost dead.. I quickly resetted the fuel gauge in synapse.. And waited a few minutes then it died. Then I plugged it into the charger (did not touch it) till it reached 100%. Seems to be fixed now I hope.

The battery seems not to handle gaming very well i think, those drop are from playing brave frontier am still currently sitting at 38%
I bought this tablet 3-4 days ago. I installed this warship game. I also noticed that it literaly jumps from 30% to 3% in just 5 minutes or less. But my battery charges very quick,which is good on the other hand. What is going on whit this tablets battery? My tablet is still stock,not rooted and bla bla... LTE version offcourse. I'm not sure,but i think it started draining the vattery as soon as i insrted the memory card.

That's the problem I had on me T700, thank God I don't have this issue on the T807.
Funny thing, when the T700 battery died, I'd turn it on after 3 min and would show battery at 23% again and I was able to use it for another 15 min or so
I also had the battery problem,too.
After three days suffering by test all the method I Google from internet, I return my T705y to samsung,and they replace the board and battery.
Now everything's fine, try it,just return tabs to samsung.
tab s 8.4 lte battery only shows 2100 mah fully charged
I purchased a new oem battery (4900 mah) and put that in and it is still showing capacity for the battery as 2100 mah...have not a clue what is wrong?

3 times last week, worse since last update few days ago.
Mine needs charging every day, no point having it, if you turn all the features off to extend the battery
Sent from my E6653 using Tapatalk
I get 2.5 days battery life on average. Had sudden drain twice since I have it. That's OK with me considering a recharge is done in under an hour and the watch is far less important than my phone.
In my experience with smartwatches like smartphones or any other computer it is helpful to reboot it once in a while. I do that after every two or three charge cycles.
There are so many factors that play into battery life or that might even drain the battery. As far as I can see there doesn't seem to be a specific thing that can be held responsible for the bad experience some people have with the sw3. I don't think there is anything wrong with the watch just bad luck and an unfortunate combination of circumstances for some users.

I also get 2.5 days on average, anyway sw3 is about to get Android wear 1.4(Android 6.0) and possibly all battery problems will be gone.
I have : SW3, LG-G, LG-R and a Gear2 with Wear Mode. SW3 is the only wich can drain battery from 50% to 4% in 2H. Exactly same app and same use case for the 4 watch.
drain issue hasn't been fixed, but a workaround I do that seems to stabilize it is to restart after charging. Haven't had a bad drain since.

I got mine on Friday, and was ready to send it back to Amazon by Sunday because of the battery drain,
However, after reading the posts on here about restarting after a full charge, it does seem better. It's still a problem that need fixing, but this workaround certainly helps.
i have no sudden drain problem at all, i get about 2,5 days with average use. I'm running latest stock unmodified LCA43 firmware
No drain here. Easy 2 days of battery per charge
I don't think it is an issue anymore.
Mine hasn't drained for a while but it did today. Went from about 50% to 10% in about an hour or two. ?
Had also the battery drain in the beginning (bought it maybe 10 month ago). Restarting after fully recharged helped...till yesterday. I've the same behaviour like user dersie & Sparksltd, suddenly it drops from 50% to 0 within 2h again.

It's definitely still a problem for me - seems that unless I do a restart after charging I get the drain issue after every third charge and the watch goes from 100% to dead in about 7 hours whereas on a 'normal' day I would expect to use around 40% in an entire day which equates to the 2.5 days use some users are reporting.

I did get a big drain back in December of 2015 along with everyone else, but looking back I think that drain was (or may have been) caused by the OTA update of the Android Wear OS - not the old drain issue. And except for that I haven't had one in months. I am very sorry to see that you and so many other SWR50 owners are still having problems with this.
Bought this watch two weeks ago and it's rock solid. No drain at all, it easily lasts for 2 days of usage.
I tend to switch mine off over night, I have noticed that from time to time despite being switched off it drains the battery. Has anyone got same issue ?

The battery meter isn't that accurate, its just an estimation based on the battery voltage versus how you use your phone (and the resulting "typical" battery drain). You shouldn't expect it to be accurate to the being within the 1-2 (or even 5) percent range. Shutting off at 4 to 11% is not unusual, and not surprising.
You shouldn't be draining your battery down that low on a regular basis. Its bad for long term battery life. Good rule of thumb for Li ion batteries is short and frequent charge cycles.
However, optimizing apps and/or google process stopped after a shutdown (due to low battery) is not normal. That's a different matter.
I have this problem, plus some of my settings get reset such as my wallpaper, ringtone, notification tone, boomsound (off to on), screen timeout, screen brightness, whatsapp (keeps asking me to chose my backup options and no messages come through until then). This has never happened before and I'm not sure why it's only happening now. I'm not purposely trying to drain the battery or anything, it's just that sometimes on the road I am unable to charge it and it'll just die out midway when previously, that extra 15% could've lasted me for another 30 minutes, just enough for me to reach my destination.
The same problem.. But the bigger problem for me, it's reseting my settings..
It is a terrible problem , I return to KitKat and my battery reaches 1% , and so normal ... I'll make a test with lollipop .
Yes, same problem! So glad someone made a thread for it. It's frustrating and happens literally every time.
Experienced on both the stock and a custom rom. Any one knows any fixes? Is it because of the 'battery life reduces over time' thing? My phone is 2 years old now

That seems to be a problem with all htc ones (m7, m8, m9) as they get older, dont worry its normal :laugh:
ive been experiencing this for a while, clear dalvik cache and let android do the whole rebuilding thing at the start and you should be fine...as for the battery fix ive just learnt to live with it, 15% is the new 2%!!!
I'm on this problem since a lot of time, as i was one of the first in the community to report it.
Seems like an end-of-life issue for one m8 and htc one phones line.
In my case i had a camera and charge board issue too, so in rma htc changed them, and now the phone is charging and quick-charging like it must have to. But i have to be careful when near 15% of battery because using camera, flashlight or others power-expensive features instantly turns the phone off, causing a database mismatch on the next boot (for marshmallow) and consequently the loss of data.
If the instant-poweroff occurs during boot, there is a massive loss of data and a lot of force closes on the next boot.
Nothing to do here i think, sadly.
In kitkat and lollipop battery reach at 1% ...

I have a fix for this as it happened to me and I tried a battery calibration app from the app store... I thought what your thinking now but after finding bad sectors and "repairing" it did actually work
solve the problem of battery and loss of settings , change the battery of my htc, now everything is fine , 3 days that the battery is discharged properly , I hope this information will help someone.
thats kinda "cool" to see many people have same problem as i do. atleast it wont run u crazy as before
1. sometimes phone dies when battery is 15%, and sometimes it dies when around 4% 2% or even 1%
2.resetting settings after phone dies!
so is the solution, to change battery? any better way that doesnt need to spend money?

Yes I've done this a couple of weeks back. The replacement is actually less hard as it seems.
But finding an original replacement battery seems to be pretty hard - Even though the replacement I bought is HTC branded and looks genuine, I feel like it's actually draining a little faster than my old original. 12€ Ebay had too good to be true.
However the instant-shutoffs are now a thing of the past along with the database corruption, so I'm going to have to live with a little less battery life.
Or does anyone know of a provider for genuine batteries?

Standby drain

When you sleep, does your phone sleep, or does it stay up all night and crunch 1s and 0s? Rate this thread to express how you deem the speed at which the Samsung Galaxy Tab S3's battery drains under standby conditions. A higher rating indicates that when the phone is not in use, the battery drains minimally.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Standby drain on this tablet is atrocious. Never seen a tablet with such drain. I have it in airplane mode (WiFi is on) and it still drains like I'm watching videos. Sucks ass for such a killer piece of hardware.

Edit: I decided to do a total reinstall via Kies. I bought it off eBay and it came factory reset, but you never can tell. Originally I set it up, had bad battery drain, did a factory reset, and no difference. This time I used Kies to install a new image and it could be running any smoother. I've had maybe a half percent battery drain after 7 hours. I'm shocked at the difference and improvement.

Shame on Samsung for never fixing this bug or even acknowledging it. They made a similar fiasco with the recent Tizen 3 update on the Gear S3 but are atleast trying to fix it, likely because the audience for the Gear watch is larger and more vocal than the one for the Tab S3.
I don't understand, how can the tablet drop 20% when it's in standby for 9 hours??

I had the drain issue. However, the recent update then hard factory reset somehow magically solved it. It is definitely not the best but I am quite satisfied.
Hoping Oreo would fix this wifi battery drain

My Tab S3 drained the battery heavily as well on pie. So I disabled auto sync and since then the battery drain stopped.

Sync is off. One thing is left to try is formatting system completely clean
Hi every one , i have Samsung tab S3 WiFi version in android 9 now , since 2 years , came with Oreo and suffered for every thing you can imagine , slow booting , laggy...etc not improved with pie , lastly i discovered from a thread here in XDA that the UK ROM is doing better , flashed mine with BTU ROM T820XXU3CTA1 using general csc not the home one , wiped the cash and system through recovery and now the tab is very good in every thing , much faster , better battery ...give it a try whatever your region.
