[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jb0nd38372:
I picked my note up on 2/20 the day it was available at the local AT&T store and I have used the hell out of it since then. I have bought several accessories, flashed updated roms / cwm, and other tweaks.

I think the note is the best device Samsung has made yet. I am biased somewhat because I don't mind an over-sized device. The Battery life one month in is excellent; The stock battery will last a full day 8am - 8pm of browsing, YouTube, gaming, sketching, texting and talking. Generally on days I use it hard I end up with anywhere between 18-25% life left on the battery. On days I use it like a normal person would I can generally go 36 hours before it's down to about 12% (I don't let it get below the phones reported 10%.

I do not use Juice defender or any battery saving apps, I use both built in power saving options, I have the screen set at auto brightness and also power save mode (which I have yet to understand how it works)

I flashed CWM (latest), and DAGkernel / TCP note V2. I also flashed the beats audio fix that was posted earlier today, but to my ears on the phones built in speaker the improvement is minimal. I bought RomTool box and set up 2 profiles: (1st profile is Screen on, 192 / 1.78ghz / ondemand), (2nd profile is Screen off (192 / 384 batterysave). I also used the toolbox to stop bloatware processes from executing on bootup and also uninstalled all the extra crap I never would use, (printing, at&t stuff, social hub, keis air, etc)

I have it set to default sync values and have the weather updating every 2 hours.

I bought 2 Hyperion batteries and the wall charger off eBay. While they are not as good as the battery you get with the note, I can get between 4-5 hours of hard use before one is dead. I also bought the mhl hdmi adapter (generic) off eBay and I have had no issues with it. Also got the generic case with the fold-able kickstand so you can use the phone in landscape while watching vids.

[Conclusion]

I came from the HTC Inspire and was using the Dell Streak 7 as my secondary device. The note is an excellent "Phablet". Great battery life, speedy processor, plenty of memory and excels at being a phone / media device. Once you use a 5.3" screen anything smaller seems cramped.

Thanks for the write-up. I agree that it is a wonderful "phablet" but I am baffled by the difference in battery life between users.

My only serous critique of the Note is the short battery life I experience. I also have the Hyperion batteries and charger off of eBay and get the same average results you do.

I get fantastic battery life, but I am on wifi 90% of the day. This easily gets me 12-16 hours. I really think wifi vs AT&T data network is a big differentiating factor.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jb0nd38372:
for reference, I use Wifi 95% of the time. The rest I am on HSPDA (Non LTE) My area will get LTE in the year 2020 j/k but we are the last to get the latest and greatest in my small town.

My battery was four hours till I calibrated it, now I'm getting eight hours easy.

Calibrated how? And i agree with the poster above. You get much better battery life on wifi as opposed to 4g or LTE.

OK say I have a custom rom and kernel flashed then I create a backup.

When I restore the backup do I need to reflash the kernel or does it stick

Yet I get 2-3 Days off it.

Its an awesome phone!

First thing is don't use widgets which use internet .......

The best thing is use DROIDWALL app from market and .........block the internet to apps which u will not use internet

Example :1). if ur are using gmail then block email app

2) some games in which more adds will come so better to block that also for not using internet for disable adds

3) for me I will not use maps, places,latitude .....so I will block that also

This the stuff that helps to increase my battery life :P ;) :P
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] FeralFire:
Black is not 'off' in an LCD display. You are confusing that with an OLED display.

SGS2 has an SAMOLED+ display. In that a black pixel is truly off. That does save power.

But in an LCD screen like the one on SGR, even black is on. It is just colored black. Try looking at a black image on your phone and then switching the screen off. You will see the difference.

Is it something to do with the fact that you are on 2.3.4?

Probably 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 drains more? Just a thought.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] FeralFire:
Depends on the game you played and the encoding of the movies you watched and also whether you used hardware acceleration in the playback of the movies.

I am on Stock 2.3.5 (Indian Firm.)..

All I Play is TempleRun and Angry Birds Space..

It went flat for 5-6 Hrs today. While Playing videos.

Its pretty normal you can go through the GSMarena's battery test here and check how it does in comparison to the the other top handsets here: http://blog.gsmarena.com/samsung-i9...ourse-can-it-beat-the-i9100-galaxy-s-ii-test/

Though one thing I can tell you that Web Browsing part doesn't seem to be right as I get around 6-7 hours. But that's subjective as it depends on which sites they were browsing and if it included a high content of watching flash videos. :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] F3niX:
Yup! Either way.. Happy with my phone! Thats all that matters :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] reymysterio7:
Even using the app 'SetCPU' (requires root) is a good way to to extend ur battery life.

As many will know u can use it to overclock/ underclock ur processor speed. I mainly use it to underclock for eg. when screen is off - I set the max/min speed as 312/216 Mhz, battery < 30% - 608/216 Mhz.

But you can also use it to undervolt - But i dont have an idea of the range of mV values to set for each frequency. Any tips guys?

So in how many hours did it use up 12 % ?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Indha Lezzio:
7 hours to spend 12%, now I can say 18% in 8 hours but i've switched on the screen a lot this last hour!

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
can we use this with stock kernel and can you please explain what is the Governor and priority while setting the profile..
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] reymysterio7:
Yes, we can use it on stock kernel but we can use it only for underclocking as overclocking is not supported. However on Ardatdat's kernel, we can use this app for overclocking as well.

Priority basically means you might have two different profiles satisfying the same condition. For eg. If you have 2 different profiles for 'Screen off' and 'battery < 30%', and if both conditions are satisfied, then the one with higher priority set by the user is given precedence and the respective Max/Min speeds will be set.

I dunno what is the right way to undervolt. Is there anyone who knows and could kindly explain that part? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
Thank you explaining in detail, i've downloaded the SetCPU and created the profiles as mentioned by you..

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] reymysterio7:
Install BetterBatteryStats app bro. You can find out exactly what is using up your battery and it also shows the screen on, off, held awake time etc etc.

Alternatively you can also try GSMBatteryMonitor.

Good luck.

It seems a bit of a communication breakdown here :D

I am using gsam monitor, and it shows me average screen usage time between the charges, all together aproximately 3 and a half hours. So i was wondering how much of it do you other fellow galaxy r users get? :D

When i check app usage statistics and wakelocks everything seems fine.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] reymysterio7:

I was replying to this query in specific!

Btw IMO 3.5 hrs is on the lower side bro. Or wait is it that the screen has been on for 3.5 hrs? :cyclops: Then its good i guess!
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] selva.simple:
Undervolting is one such aspect that has to be carefully set. First of all to do Undervolt, your kernel should support it. You cannot Undervolt with Stock Kernel. For a device, there are pre-defined frequencies of clock speed. At each frequency, there will be a lower limit and upper limit of Voltages. And by default the Voltage will be set at upper limit for each frequency. Undervolting is the process of setting the voltage to the permissible lower limit for each and every frequency.

Generally, Undervolting is not needed for normal clock speeds (216 MHZ to 1000 MHZ). Better to do for OC ranges like 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and so..If u use apps like SetCPU or Voltage Control, u can see a Voltage tab which will show u the current setting of Voltage for each frequency.

You can select the frequency range which ur device uses the most in Higher speeds. For that frequency, you can reduce the voltage (do not reduce drastically. Go in smaller range). Click save. BUT DO NOT CHECK 'SET ON BOOT' option until you are sure of the Voltage of that frequency.After saving, you can go to the 'INFO' tab and select 'Stress Test' and leave it for some 30-60 sec. If it does not show any error, just press the Back key. It will show the statistics. Repeat the process till u reach a stage the Voltage is lesser and Functional. If ur phone freezes while doing the test. Just Reboot. The Setting u saved will be reverted. That's the reason i have asked you not to select 'SET ON BOOT' option.

Do this process with caution.If u find it risky to do, just leave it. Wait for some people who can do this and report their data values for a particular kernel. Huh.. Too big an explanation. :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] enkelad:
No, not battery life 3.5 hrs. Measured screen used time - 3.5 hrs, and my battery all together lasts between 6 hrs when i use it constantly, and three days when i don't use it, it depends on the usage, of course.

But i was wondering how come on gsmarena and so, if the battery test shows eg. video time 6 hrs, how can that be if screen alone can't last more than 3.5 hrs?

Are they lying?! My illusions will burst in to bubbles!!! :crying::crying::crying:

they checked only once when phone opened (means newly). No other application runs in background. They don't lie. :cowboy:
