Welcome in the club

It called AndroidOS Bug and Google play services Bug.
Please search for it, and you'll find the answer.

No really solution about this **** :-/

So many Threads about the same problem.

You can try the recommended solutions if you see that your accu is draining by AndroidOS.
But they are only temporally.
Sometimes Restart help, if not, clear Google play services CACHE, shut down and remove accu for short time.

Any other tips aside from these? This is really a problem that's firmware related?

I'm not sure that it is. Sometimes my battery runs out really fast, just a day
Sometimes it Lasts really well.

It's horribly unpredictable, but I don't think it's firmware. A firmware problem would be consistent.

Currently my battery is at 55% and it's been running 1 day 19 hours. Same usage as normal.

have u do a factory reset after update ? i had do a factory reset through setting but problem still occur. i will try to do factory reset in recovery mode to check whether it solve or not. btw, what is the difference between do a factory reset in setting and do it in recovery mode ? which one is better ?

buell47 · Dec 24, 2013

No, I didn't reset it after Update, because I do it few days before. I try first the reset in settings. Bug already exists. Then I used the recovery menu, clear cache and do a factory reset. Same Bug comes few hours later back.

I read in German forum that other people do the same after the new update, but same s h i t with AndroidOS comes again.
After I read this I tried no factory reset by myself.

I don't know there is any different between booth ways to reset your device

Yes, I think the MJ7 has a bug since few weeks ago at the point, where Google is updated any f....ing Service in the Background.
I don't know, maybe the NSA need a full Copy off all calls, messages and location movements every second, not only in 15 Minutes steps!? :-/

okay...i never used MK2 in Germany.

I have my Note 3 since 29.08.2013 without problems! Nothing changed last 4 weeks!
Few days ago i realized the battery drain issue, because i dont use the phone, but battery goes down.
I look in the battery infomation, the AndroidOS is now on top of all Apps and Services that running the whole day

The easiest way to fix this until a new firmware is released is to disable "Use Wireless Networks" under "Location Services". This has fixed mine for the past couple of weeks. As soon as I turn it back on, battery life sucks!

Holy cow, thanks for this tip! Made a huge difference on my phone.

In my experience this is not a solution to the bug that the OP is writing about and which makes so many people lose their mind over the ridiculous battery drain.

Tried though (because it was turned on for some reason) and will look what my battery says tomorrow morning (not charging over night).
