Samsung Galaxy Note Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean Update: 3 Fixes for Battery Draining Issue

Galaxy Note, the first generation Samsung phablet launched in 2011 stirred consumers' excitement letting them enjoy a large screen handset. After the widespread success of the Note, several companies have started bringing in their phablets in order to make enough profit from the booming segment of the market.

Though the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean upgrade has been a good addition to the phablet, however, it has come with some glitches too. Similar to the issue faced by Galaxy S3 owners, some users who have upgraded their Note to Jelly Bean are facing multitude of battery draining issues.

As informed by one of the Gizbot readers, after the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean Update via Kies, Galaxy Note has been giving severe battery drain, requiring the users to charge the handset more than once a day, as compared to the daily usage in the past.

At the same time, the battery goes dead within half a day's time when Wi-Fi or GPS is turned on. Further, the applications such as Camera seem to be slow taking about 10 to 15 seconds of time to open. Besides these issues, the handset is reportedly facing heating issues as well.

Of course, there are a few steps that have to be followed to ensure that the battery life does not drain too quickly. If you have upgraded your Galaxy Note to Jelly Bean and are struggling to find a way to resolve the battery drain issue, here is the solution.

Disable Drainers
