Battery life a lot worse..want unroot and restore to factory condit???

[macbook5]

I have noticed my Note 8's battery life has been draining quicker than before. I do have a warranty with Best Buy but I rooted it and although I can remove root, the Device Status shows as custom because I upgraded the FW. Is there any way I can remove this? Will Triangle Away fix this?

Any idea if it this problem was caused by rooting and upgrading the FW from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2? One of the reasons I rooted it in the first place was to be able to move apps etc to SD card. However, I found that moving apps to SD card is not a very functional idea as it renders them useless until you move them back.

Try unmounting the SD card for a day. Reboot, recharge, and see if that helps.

I didn't root mine but I can't agree more with you. This thing drains battery like crazy. Had 70+% at 7:00a.m used it for about an hour and left it in standby, by 10:30a.m it was down to 32%. Another of its numerous shortcomings.

I have done as you suggested. Now I'll see in the next while how the battery life is. I'll post an update later. Thanks.

Glad to hear my battery is not as bad as yours, nnthemporer. You definitely have a problem with yours. Hope it's covered by a warranty still?

Anyway, I have finished what you suggested Golfdriver97 and it has now been about 48hours since unplugging it from charging. I have not really used it during these 48 hours except to turn on and look at battery percentage a couple of times. It's down to 71%. So not sure, it might be a bit better, but not very good in my opinion. Also not sure if this 29% loss is normal during a 48 hr time period of non use??
