Lollipop Battery Life Was Good, Now Terrible.

[music_man185]

Let me start by saying that when I first got my note 3, I was amazed by the battery life with jelly bean. I had no complaints with battery or signal. Kitkat ruined both. Lollipop seemed to be better at first. Battery life and signal seemed to be better. I did not factory reset, since everything was working and I didn't see the need. I do clear cache partition on a regular basis. Battery life and signal have both seemed to get worse, the longer I have lollipop. Has anyone else noticed this?

I could usually squeeze out 3.5 to 4 hours of screen time with around 14 hours off charger on kitkat. I just unplugged my phone from charging all night (as I always do), currently around 30 minutes of screen time, 45 minutes off charger and battery is already at 76%.

The battery will start to lose capacity after about 400 charges. If you charge it daily....that's about 13 months.

That's just the nature of rechargeable batteries...not unique to any particular phone.

well I have note 3 on Lollipop rotten battery life since Jelly Bean!
so Monday I took bull by the horns I cleared data and cache on Verizon Cloud Verizon Protect and Google Chrome! I then uninstalled and disabled all of them went back to as delivered internet app.

my battery drain is as good as it was on Jelly Bean am thinking this was as delivered from Verizon not long after the Note 3 release.

not sure if one only was the culprit but have a feeling all 3 were heavy usage drains on battery?
I'm not tech savy like most here but it seems I by accident selected what was the main drain on battery.
Google Services was at 27% usage and now is at 4% Internet at 2% screen 1% android os 1% android system 1% cell standby 1%. does this sound like a good thing ??

Just thought I'd pass this along for others here to see if things get better. my battery is 18 months old.
