Help! Note 3 battery went from fantastic to average literally overnight? (missing a setting???)

Definitely seems to have been Google now. Light use day yesterday and was at 63% at 10pm having come off the charger at 630am

I'm actually noticing the same issue but randomly; some days I get almost 20 hours before I hit 20%; others, maybe 12-14 and I'm at 20%. I have also noticed the phone gets hot around the top middle area if I'm in a low signal area and it drops to 3G. It's ironic and funny since I was having the exact same issues on the blackberry Z10...

anyways, wanted to ask..when you mentioned clearing the cache, did I understand you correctly that you also disabled Google now? If so, how would one go about doing that?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Disabling Google now made the difference for me. Pull up Google now go to menu then settings and turn it off.

As for random items... I have a couple of apps that have given me random issues in the past. Noom does it once every couple weeks and required a phone restart. Bloomberg did it as well but their new app seems to have fixed that issue.
