for those with <1 day battery life, if you have used any of these methods to better your battery life, pls post them with some stats in the forum to help others !!!

Also, i will update the 1st post with suggestions from you (just to keep updated).

Why do we pay for not using features??? ;-)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] M3TALLICA:
We pay for the features to use it when we need it.

I don't leave wifi/3g turned on at nights.

Nor do I need google+, facebook, twitter, google docs, google current auto-synchronizing when I'm asleep. Edge is enough to sync gmail.

Bit off topic, but only for better battery life.

After flashing a new rom, charge the battery to full on power off. When @ 100% remove the battery & wait for 2 minutes & reinsert & restart the phone. Said to be good for better stats in the first cycle.

iv had my note for 2 months now and iv never had problems with the battery i have a custom ics rom right now. i usually wake up at 7am and sleep at midnight and i still have about 40% battery life with constant usage.

i think its the greatest phone ever made:D

Hey guys, maybe someone could take a look at this?

I have no idea why the kernel is eating up so much of my power. What functions does the Kernel have? Is there anything that could be autoupdating that would cause the kernel's usage to be so high? I used to get 4-5 hours of screen time, but now it's low. I just reset my device a few days ago because I changed sims and phone carriers, so everything was new, unrooted, but I did use Google Play to reinstall all my old apps...

Could anyone offer some insight into why it's so high? Thanks!

Edit. Here are the processes that are included.

Of course I have no idea what they are. Any ideas guys? Thanks so much in advance. :)

Completely agree.Extra batteries are small and cheap. I have everything running and updating at min times. GPS,lattitude,WiFi,By...all on. Ian thrilled with 12-14 hours before the warning. We can swap out batteries.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lrcquest:
@ zkyevolved

Which kernel are you using?

I am currently on speedmod K2-10 kernel with Chrack's V18 small rom, ICS theme from vertemus installed.

Second battery cycle result is as follows

4days 18hrs @ 15% remaining. Maybe, will last for another 4-5 hours before i plug it in charging @ 5%.

Try to root the device & atleast change the kernel to speedmod k2-10 or Franco v 10 (both from new kernel sources as per devs)

best of luck.

Battery runs out extremely quick

Hi guys, I was just wondering if anyone can let me know what's wrong with my Note. for some reason, the battery just drop down for no apparent reason. if you guys can see on the pictures. I was only on my screen literally for 9 minutes and 30 secs, and the battery already down to 60%.

btw, when I just got the phone, it wasnt like that at all. i started noticing it since i rooted my phone ( i dont know if it has something to do with it):(:confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ekofasc:
Android OS is very high, use "better battery stats" to check for battery thieves and wakelocks. Also something is using your gps (gpsd)...

Thanks. Purchased and installed. I will check them tomorrow after giving it a full day to collect the stats. I'll post back what I find. :-) thanks again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lrcquest:
rooting may not be the reason. try to install a working cwm recovery (if u have not already) & go for a good custom kernel (speedmod v10 or franco v10). Install betterbatterystats from the link provided above.

Remember to back up ur efs folder after rooting.

Remember to do a nandroid backup after getting cwm.

Remember to flash the Jbroid kernel cleaning script before flashing a new kernel.

Hi ircquest! is anything that you advised me would void any warranty? or I heard raise binary count (whatever that means:o I a super noob). If none of the things that you recommended me to do will void warranty/raise binary count, would you please give me some tutorial about it; or point me to links that show step by step securely doing what told me to do. I would really appreciate it so much.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lrcquest:
Theoretically, u have already void the warranty by rooting the phone!!! That already said, u need not worry since u can get the warranty by removing the root / flashing the stock rom which u got out of the box.

the above links have some good tutorials which go step by step for rooting & installing a working cwm.

regarding the yellow triangle / binary counter, this is related to the bootloader of the phone. Sammy has its ways to know if we have tampered with the firmware, but we @ XDA have our ways to bypass it!!

Since you say u have rooted your phone, i think u have a working super user installed. Just check it by downloading any of the program mobile odin / cwm manager / rom manager / titanium backup & install. If it prompts you to the super user access message, then u have a working root. Else, u need to root ur phone with the steps provided for new firmware posted by Dr. Ketan.

good luck.

I found this. These are my settings for GPS

And yesterday, I had to restart my phone, but it went from 8 AM until 12:30 without being charged, but I did have to restart the phone in the late afternoon.

These were my results:

This morning I had the same issue! It's been 2 hours off the charger, with not so much use (20 minutes of screen on):

There is no GPS indicator (that an app is using it), but it says that the GPS is active. I never had this issue before. Yes, I keep the GPS option ticked (just in case I lose it, or whatever the reason, it's easier to leave on), but I haven't had this issue in the past. I don't think it's an application because I've flashed my phone a few days ago to get a clean install after changing sims, and I'm still having the same issue.

Any ideas about what could be accessing my GPS like this? Here is a list of my applications on my phone:

Adobe flash player 11.1

Airdoid

AndFTP and Pro

Android Widgets Pro only for the timeline feature, which updates every 3 hours

APW Theme Holo

Authenticator

Badass Battery Monitor

Banking app

Barcode Scanner

Better Battery Stats

SMS Backup+ which updates every 24 hours and only on Wifi

Street View

TalkBack

Tapatalk

Translate

Twitter (updating every 4 hours)

Whatsapp

UltraKeyboard

Voice Search

Wifi Tunes Sync Pro

Wordfeud

Wordfeud Mastermind

Wunderlist (updating manually)

Youtube

Zedge

Any ideas?

Another update after a long day.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] letters_to_cleo:
as far as i know, any geotagging apps e.g. Maps, picsay pro, shazam,facebook, google drive and etc... uses GPS...

check some of your installed apps, as I think your issue is mainly apps related....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zkyevolved:
Thank you for your reply. Is there any way to deduce which app is calling on the GPS? Is there any app on the market that I could install to identify the culprit?

Thank you very much.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] letters_to_cleo:
I think the only thing I can best suggest would be a trial by deduction...

I know it's a lengthy process but it surely would resolve your issue on what app or apps that might be causing the issue at hand..

Install one app at a time, observe for half a day or just a day and check back on BetterBatteryStats if the dread 'GPS' wakelocks occurs again, if not, then slowly install one app again until such time that you can really determine the exact application/s causing the ish....

it's better to deduce and exact the problem in a slow but surely manner, rather than to generalize and pondering all the exact problem without any results to come up.

just my take though..

P.S. If you look down at my signature.. the saying, says for itself..

I really have a big trouble with GB stock rom bug (suspend and event/0 services). Its drain strongly my battery:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zkyevolved:
Hello, no no, you're fine.

That means that the android OS used up 93% of the 6% you have used so far! That's VERY good battery life :D Be happy ;)

OK now get this!

Here is the setting for GPS OFF:

And in the settings, too, all 3 options are off for GPS.

and here is what better battery stats reported being off the charger for 45 minutes:

I'm VERY Confused now! Since the GPS is off (I wanted to test it today), I thought no apps could access it. Behold, the ghost of the GPS is in my phone!

Any ideas for this one!? haha.

Edit: Upon some research, I've found other people with the same situation: FACEBOOK! I've uninstalled it and I'll post back if not for anyone else, just for myself and to close this question! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mtmello:
Hey man, if you´re joking, it´s okay but for sure it´s not a good batt life. Suspend and event/0 services is a very know bug with a lot of discussing even here in xda forum...

facebook for android app was and is still never a good app to use for using facebook.. How I wish there's a better facebook app out there that alleviates the woes on our battery-draining plight when using this application.

Anyway, I'm glad dude that at least you have come up with some solution on your battery life problem, but how's your GPS wakelock issue? Is it still there in BetterBatteryStats?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mR.fR34ky:
couple advices

Well m8, do You accept couple advices?

/if yes read below, if not plase stop reading:P/

-use your Note when needed! Leave it to go deep sleep.. dont check the time every minute etc :)

-Turn off automatic brightness ( I use a widgetsoid widget with custom screen brightness % button)

- Turn off 3G network and turn back when you need to use it. (push mail will work on Edge and lower networks [gprs])

- I have background sync for google and manually added facebook account for contacts, but if you like you could turn it off as well. Important do not install facebook app! Rather browse facebook from browser and use facebook messages app.

- Uninstall all of the unsed apps via Titanium Backup (ofc make a backup before uninstalling)

**Will post my actual battery usage when it will be under 15%

Stay tuned, hope helped :)

Cheers

Oh and try out my config in my sign. It is very good I think!

This Thread is totally wrong in the way it is projecting Battery Timings :rolleyes:

We can be a nerd and put a phone on Deep Sleep at 100 Mhz frequency in Flight Mode without using it for 7 days at a stretch..it will still breathe some life ;)

The REAL Battery Test is in the 'Display' or the 'On Screen Time' which implies the time the phone being actively used in whatever way.

Therefore , to really get the true picture , Recharge and use phone atleast 5-6 times on the same ROM & KERNEL Combination and then See and Post the On Screen Time or the Display Time in the APPLICATION--BATTERY USAGE--DISPLAY section in the Phone Settings. That is the real deal.

Mine is below : (Will be updating it if i get better results )
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] M3TALLICA:
Well yes, If you are not using phone, deep sleep will always save battery.

My personal record of screen on time was 4:15 hours with 15% still remaining. That was with speed mod 1-5.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Tinderbox (UK):
The onscreen time, does not give the brightness level, so their is quite a bit of room for brinkmanship.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] indiandroid:
Brightness is anybody's personal comfort. So it cant be quantified specifically.

Its upto oneself to strike a balance between 'Good' Brightness and Battery Life.

And I think We have not bought Galaxy Note to use it at Dim levels.That Ruins the experience.

Its like running an LED with the mindset of a LCD.

And I think Brightness at 50% level with 'Automatic' option off is a good bet.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PoisonWolf:
Wow, you guys must have eyes of steel to be able to handle 50% brightness. I can barely handle 10% brightness without my eyes turning red. Even my LCD monitors are all at 10/100 brightness setting. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] indiandroid:
Yippie ..100th Voter :p

10% ?

Can you see the stuff on the screen ? :eek:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PoisonWolf:
Yes, surprisingly, even the Note's 0% brightness is still brighter than the HD2 I used to own at 30% brightness. But I keep it at 10% brightness on the Note to reduce the issue with the black pixelation.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] M3TALLICA:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zkyevolved:
Facebook WAS the GPS wakelock issue.

Then I had an issue with my router which wasn't there before. All I did was put a static IP, and I went from (standby and 2 hours of screen on time) 18 hours, to 50 hours of standby and 3.5 hours of screen on time. DAY AND NIGHT ISSUE!

Once again, my method was:

Get rid of Facebook (for GPS lock)

Use another app for my Facebook needs! (I have APW with the Key for Timeline)

Static IP to get rid of wlan_rx_wake issue.

Battery life has QUADRUPLED. Never been happier! :D

Big thanks to designgears from rootzwiki for this leak & ks0 for bringing it to my attention:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/23105-i727ucld2/

I'm from the T989 side. I was pretty excited for this, turned it into a CWM so enjoy :)

There are no T989 specific tweaks at all on this. I didn't change anything but what I say below.

*THIS IS A STOCK BUILD...with all AT&T and Samsung software UNTOUCHED*

I took it, extracted it (<3 WinHex), and turned it into a CWM flashable ZIP.

Aside from that, I added root and busybox to it.

Its fresh...built April 7 :D

I have nowhere to host it...so here is a torrent.

If you can mirror it that would be good.

Initial downloading may be slow since I'm the only seeder for now.

(update: +2 more :-))

UPDATE

Flash these two fixes after flashing this ROM but before booting:

Root fix - Ignore the error after flashing this...then just go into Superuser and update after bootup

The attached UCLD2FontHotfix.zip to fix Facebook and Samsung keyboard

Run Fix permissons after flashing the above 3 fixes ^^
