[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jeromepearce:
I was having the same problem. I have a lot of apps on my phone, and it was just draining while sleeping as far as I could see. My main issue was all the unwanted apps like the social and media hub popping up whenever they felt like chomping on my battery.

I finally gave in and rooted, and installed droidwall to prevent anything getting network access I do not allow, android assistant for its start up manager, and autorun to delete all 'event listeners' that cause apps to pop up when they like (and there are hundreds of these in the stock apps, I assure you).

I now have 50% more battery life, and it seems to lose a lot less while sleeping.

I installed the CPU speed set thingy (sorry, I forget the name) but I had the problem a few others seem to have because it drained the battery faster than ever while sleeping. I will try again after a few days. I screenshot the battery graph in full screen, showing the WiFi, wake & screen, every day so that I can get a good feel for historical usage and battery life.

I have an el cheapo battery (had two but lost one) for emergencies. I am buying a Samsung one instead (for a 'real' 2500 mAh), and expect to keep it on me at all times. That should take me through a day of pretty heavy usage. I also have some dangly 'add-on' chargers, but frankly a spare battery is neater, smaller and easier.

I have also bout a tablet (10.2" with 16GB) for $200. I fully expect to buy another - one for work and one for home. These will reduce my usage of the G-Note and leave it for actual use as a phone. The main problem is that I use it so damned much! I have my phone, contacts, all my To Do lists, email, audible books, textual books, surfing, games, etc all on one device. I also use it to type notes at meetings or the like using my folding BT keyboard. It does it all really well, but does not have the battery to cope!

I know there are fat batteries out there, but I do not want to spoil the beauty of my svelte Note by giving it a hunch-back!

I also use Llama to control things like BT, WiFi and network data access when away from home or office. It does help, and means I don't have to remember to toggle. I tried Juice Defender as well, but its idea of turning on the WiFi at intervals saved my battery but seemed to make my email (IMAP) never download. I need to know when emails come in so that did not work for me. I may try it again at some point and try to make it work better for me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JulyDerek:
Uninstall Juice Defender. I found my phone battery lasted twice longer after I removed it.

Hi staceymobiler

Root n install the charks rom... woth v3.3 kernel

I vet past one day on single charge n its freakin awsome......
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kcour2006:
I use my phone for note taking all day and into the evening! Screen and internet used for over 12 hours, constant use! (Screen on lowest setting)

After battery "settled" I get around 10 hours then pop in a second battery!

Took about 15 charging cycles though to get the 10 hours!

Anyway just saying it may take time! And a second battery is always safest
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Hasseno:
that's... actually pretty normal battery usage if you're using your phone a lot.

my note is operating pretty much 18hours a day. A full charge is all i need, and by the end of the day, i get the critical battery notification.

if your note lasted more than a day, that's great. But with the amount of workload i am expending using my note, i wouldn't be surprised if continued usage of the phone would only last 7 to 8 hours tops. or much less.

and besides, the note can last for more than 2 days, if you didn't use it at all.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Staceymobiler:
thanks for all the suggestions...i'm going to give rooting it a go this evening. Will let you know how that goes.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zkyevolved:
Yeap, that seems like average battery life. If you notice (others) that his screen on time was pretty solid most of the time. That means of the nearly 6 hours on, I'd say about 4.x hours the screen was on. So that's good :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nickpimenta:
I have managed to improve my Galaxy note battery life a LOT by doing the following:

- Disable Wi-Fi when not using it.

- Settings > Accounts and Sync > UN-TICK "Auto-sync".

With auto-sync disabled you have to manually open the relevent app to get the data, but for me, thats what I prefer, and it saves loads of battery life.

Used to be 8 hours or less with the above 2 enabled.

now 16 hours+ with the above 2 disabled !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] este548:
Installed free version of Juice Defender 3 days ago, didn't do anything just keeping it on balanced mod and from now on I have extended normal battery life (phone, e-mails, sms, occasional internet through 3G) from 1 day to 2 days. What can I say ...

It works. When you switch into wifi, gaming or intensive document editing then nothing is going to save you, but just for having the phone in your pocket and using it as a "phone" Juice Defender delivers.

I noticed on the market that roughly half people say it is excellent and the other half is whining that it just sucks. Give it a try a decide for yourself.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] uncommonaman:
Just turn auto sync off and untick "Use wireless networks" and you will be blown away by the battery life.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] georgios73:
The last two days my battery was losing power too quickly compared to my previous weeks with my note.

So I thought it must be an app which I installed which is causing this. The only app I installed recently was Google + so it took it off and hey presto - battery life back to normal again.

You might say well it doesn't drain my battery with google+ installed but it works with mine as I tried re-installing again and it sapped the battery again.

Maybe different apps effect different roms, kernals etc...just a thought and something you could try with a recently installed app.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jeromepearce:
Hur, hur!

(sorry, that has different connotations downunder....:D)

---------- Post added at 02:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 AM ----------

I can see that as an option, and I believe that all of those who report great battery life are doing much the same. My problem is that I want to be kept alerted to emails. I have tried Juice Defender, as it starts up wireless at defined intervals, but since my email is checking at other defined intervals, at appears that the email never gets through. I have to assume they never coincide.

I also like certain apps to sync, although I guess I could do that manually. Currently I turn on autosync while at home or work with Llama. Luckily the wireless and autosync toggles are in the notification dropdown as well - that is a wonderful idea.

I use the Note far too much, so (as I have probably said) I am getting a tablet. I hope that it will serve as my email notification when I am at home or work. When Llama knows I am at neither place, it can disable autosync and enable mobile data for me (which I keep off at home & work).

It is a delicate balance trying to get full desired operation and decent battery life. I am not sure it is really worth all the agro. I may just settle for a spare battery in my wallet and a dock/battery charger by my bedside. That is probably the easiest of all options! Then I can game away whenever I like without constantly checking the battery:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] androidindian:
Im using a custom rom rocket rom v21 with abyss kernel... which gives me a battery for 40 hours approx. With fair amount of usage. Sync off facebook app as it sucks a lot of battery too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Zamboney:
In wifi settings enable the option to turn wifi of if the screen is off. That adds a lot of battery time. I get far more than 8 hours and i use it all the time with wifi etc.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ngocdao:
Awesome! Been looking for this feature for awhile now. Only downfall is just remembering to switch it back when i'm using Pandora :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
A bit off topic but I experienced a fluke on my battery life, was just watching simpsons while I had my wifi connected and only had my yahoo messenger connected probably a total of 10-15 messages in 4hrs range, for 4 hours of screen time it normally drains 50-51% only.

I almost always have the same scenario when I watch simpsons on my phone, yahoo messenger running but it the first time to drain it like this.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] awesome-member:
I am guessing you were streaming flash content to your phone. This takes alot of battery(radio, cpu and gpu) as opposed to just watching locally stored videos(mostly only gpu useage) , 4 hours of battery life while streaming flash is not that abnormal.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] EarlZ:
Just watching content from my SD card, the same thing I do about 4-5hrs before sleeping everything, thats why I called it a battery fluke.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChuckT65:
Ah, been looking for this; worth mentioning that you need to hit the menu button, and the option is under "advanced".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mrtim8383:
Anyone know of a way to hook up an external camera, perhaps to the USB port? Maybe for video calling?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nrm5110:
Why would you do that you have a front facing camera....smh... and no your phone can't do that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mrtim8383:
Actually I thought of a work around....smh...no faith. And not specifically the skyrocket. Gotta think outside the box to see the reason for a miniture camera that can video call.

:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nrm5110:
How are you gonna build a driver to recognize an input device like that on top of making it recognize a video input over USB and then activate it based on app demand when apps don't natively support it so you would have to trick the phone into thinking its the ffcamera seems like an awful lot of work for something built in already IMO.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mrtim8383:
Like I said...think outside the box. Bring the camera out or make a daisey chain with a simple switch. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mrtim8383:
I thought of that after I posted it...then I was thinking it would be easier to extend the camera out and have it functional.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] floppy__:
The easiest way to do it, I thing is to use the Eye-Fi connect SD card in you camera. ( http://goo.gl/dxXK ) and especially the Mobile X2.

There is an app for android. I never used it but I read a lot on it lately and it seems really interesting

I was thinking about being able to do video chat with someone but be able to have the camera pinned to my jacket or something slllowing person I'm talking to see what I'm seeing. Extending the lens out is easiest thing I can think of. Will check out those links though.

Hello,

I made a flashable .zip for the new touch recovery 5.8.1.8

Old version still available as well... --> 5.8.0.2

I'm assuming just flash through CWM and reboot recovery?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
Yep.. I already did it and it works.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Deggy:

[Atrix 4G Android Development] stevendeb25:

Nice recovery tested here. Works great. Support for install of zips via internal and externel. Touch works great. No need of volume buttons now yay
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
This should work for replacing any Atrix recovery on an UNLOCKED bootloader. It is the same from Rom Manager with touch enabled.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
Did you have a UNLOCKED bootloader recovery like ROM manager or ROMRacers? this is just a replacement for those. This should not affect your booting your ROM.

You can use Fastboot to reflash this recovery manually if you have issues. Unrar this .img file first.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Yann_H:
I'm runnning CM7 elite from Clemsyn and no problem so far.

It should be the same base.

is webtop partition supported? how about the internal/external SD's?
[Atrix 4G Android Development] MJPollard:
A message earlier in the thread stated that it works with both internal and external SDs, but no one has mentioned yet whether it works with the webtop partition. If it doesn't, then it's of no use to anyone who has a Blur-based ROM and wants to back up webtop; they may as well stick with RomRacer's.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] undisputedfb:
beautiful. only time i have to use volume button is to get to bottom of list if my list is longer than the screen. other than that, FLAWLESS VICTORY. thanks josh

edit: only if u go from the top and go up one so u can hit "go back" i know it scrolls. just dont want to confuse the noobs.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
This is a Kouch recovery. It will not backup webtop... at the same time, backing up webtop seems to be a unique thing that only ROM Racer recovery does. Maybe he can port his to touch now? Ill update mine with his if he does.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
I haven't done it, but I don't see why not. Again, I only took the ROM Manager Koush touch recovery and made it possible to flash with existing recovery.so no need to use fastboot. Any features of the recovery will need to be directed towards the developer of the recovery, which is Koush... I do think that it should work with backups made with his regular OR the ROM Racer you linked in your question.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] xateeq:
Working fine :D

Edit 1:tested some things and found some thing interesting.

If u try to flash CM9 (By following the format system steps and reboot recover) touch wont work until u flash cm9 or some other rom but volume buttons do work so u can still flash rom old style.

and one more strange thing happened i flashed the recovery and did permission fix and phone start behaving abnormally (screen turn on and off on its on and white notification light blinks) CM7 weekly # 4

other then that all is well (until i find out more problems OFC)

Edit 2: just came from CM9 to CM7 latest weekly and i was unable to boot into recovery

i did

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase webtop

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase cache

and on next boot i was unable to boot into recovery (battery pull) so i flashed back to normal recovery and booted just fine and after that all is back to normal, i think this recovery tries to find touch drivers in boot and if unable to find them then problems comes.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Zero-K:
It's pretty simple to use the .img file.

Download from their site.

reboot your phone holding down Vol down

when it says "fastboot" press Vol up.

In a command window type "fastboot recovery locationofimgfile.img" without quotes and hit enter.

after it's done run "fastboot reboot" and you're done.
