I have the same problem. Find that the battery life is way worse than GB and after two days of usage the phone become laggy. Reverted back to GB with Mobile Odin. Will wait for a better ICS build.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] emuX:
My Note has been behaving really well, battery wise, since I upgraded to the German ICS release.

Today I was using it a fair bit and the battery life plummeted. I eventually realised that I had left my brightness on auto (where I usually have it quite low.) The screen seemed to be burning through massive amounts of power in auto mode. When I went back to manual, low brightness all was good again and I've been getting good performance again since.

It might be that there's a bug in the auto brightness sensing on this build and that's part of the problem!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Goodm7sn:
I already thought of the auto brightness sensor as the cause of This drain. I noticed that by coincidence when the last 5% Of the battery seemed to last much much longer (there u have the brightness forced set to lowest)..

Still its just speculations.. Hope some experts can do further tests on that..

But thx for yr feedback mate
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] naturalb0rnkiwi:
I personally think battery life is pretty reasonable,Herr is my 2nd charge so far.. I expect it to get around 3hours and a bit screen time with half an hour more calls too..

I have an exchange account syncing everything push.., two Gmail accounts syncing everything and Facebook friend caster on push too

My battery life on ICS was awful. Then I ticked the economy mode in the notifications bar and now it's great. Didn't see any loss in performance, so I guess it's ok.

Been testing for several days now
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Galaxy note lover:
I am using galaxy note for 4 months

battery drain was quite an issue but few days back, i installed

- Night mode app from google play

- Black background app

- Better battery stats and CPU spy for monitoring wakelocks

I can use galaxy note for 8 more hours and CPU spy suggested that my note was in deep sleep for 60% time..

i am on gingerbread..2.3.6..will upload the screenshot..but i must say these apps are much better than those task killer which drains battery life faster
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Braxos:
Germany 2.3.6 lb2 lc1 was a beast with battery had 6 hours screen on + 2 hours music and on a18 hours cycle + few % left depending of the time I plugged it in at work ;-) Now ICS max is 4.5 hours screen on with 10% left if you are lucky, without having a unexpected kernel wakelocks from random......
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tsk1979:
I had this issue once. I am on stock GB(2.3.6)

I opened cpu spy and it showed that phone never went into deep sleep!

Opened badass battery manager, and it showed that GPS Status was using CPU.

Restarted phone, and things went fine.

I suspect the upgrade caused some apps to malfunction, so you may have the problem.

Badass battery manager + Cpu spy for debug!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] frasch42:
I had trouble with my battery, too, coming from 2.3.6 LC1 to ICS Stunner to German LPY. Had wakelocks over wakelocks (primarily "l2_hsic" kept the phone awake) and i couldn't get rid of it.

I then flashed 2.3.6 LC1 prerooted (wipe) with PC Odin and then used Mobile Odin Pro to go to rooted Stock ICS LPY and everything is fine now. No wakelocks worth mentioning and great battery life.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] richlum:
I did this last night and it seems to have cleared up my problem of the phone not doing into deep sleep. I haven't had any large wakelock counts like I was getting before.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] amolnw:
Try recalibrating the battery, worked for me
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] frasch42:
That might have worked for you, but will not change much for those people stuck with various wakelocks. The only thing that did it for me, was a clean install.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Att.Fan1982:
Here is my better battery stats, what do they mean? What do I need to do to get a longer lasting battery?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] emuX:
Charging your phone regularly but not to 100% means the Battery stats don't reset. If I did that for a week I could post my ludicrous results too!

:D

(Those that doubt me - try it!)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] annihnvn:
It's not ludicrous as he turned on offline mode at night and did not use his phone much(active display). I thought battery stats does not reset too but it's just because I unpluged the charger but cable still connected with the Note. When I remove the charging cable from my Note, battery stats reset.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] richlum:
By themself, they don't really mean too much.

How much of those 11 hours was your phone idle?

Get CPU Spy and see if your phone is going into deep sleep when it is idle.

If it is, then you don't really need to worry about anything.

If it is not going into deep sleep, or it is only going into deep sleep for a small percentage of the time, better battery stats can help to identify and kernal wakelocks or partial wakelocks that may be preventing the phone from going into deep sleep.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sbm888:
My battery life is shocking.. 1 hour standby loses 3%, when using, it loses easily 1-2% each minute.

can someone let me know whether it is safe for me to flash it back to GB on PC Odin? i've been reading so many nightmare stories everywhere, i'm getting scared..

i was originally on GB (no rooted), flashed via PC Odin to the ICS Rom (not rooted), so, can i go back to GB using the stock roms?

thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] p107r0:
I'd check the ICS threads again and again and again, to be absolutely sure...

On my Note: I've reverted to GB via PC Odin - as in recommended procedure - with no problems, first start of GB after flashing with lots of FC - reboot to recovery mode (in GB) and wiping whatever there was to be wiped helped, then restore of GB nandroid backup.

Maybe the last two steps were redundant, don't know, don't want to cut corners in this case.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] richlum:
If you can wait a couple of days, I'd see how LPF pans out, and then flash to that if it's all good, instead of going back to GB.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] UncleManuel:
Exactly! I did not use it a lot but I did'nt not use it either. F.e. some E-Mail-checking and short stops by the Engadget-app. And the Note is set as my alarm clock and I always turn on flight mode over night. So you see: ICS can be used in a normal way and does not ridiculously consume more battery than with GB (in standby)... ;) :cool:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] frasch42:
I flashed a wipe-pre-rooted GB LC1 via PC Odin without any problems. I had awful battery life on ICS and many strange kernel wakelocks so I did go back to GB and made a clean install to ICS via Mobile Odin Pro from there.

Now everything is fine, battery seems to be doing better than using GB.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bejoanakmami:
coming home

i decided to go back to stock GB LC1 bcuz my note could barely last 7 hours with moderate to heavy usage. also it drains too fast in standby. the deep sleep issue keep coming even theres a "power off" workaround. i used CF root kernel btw.

i went back to GB by flashing DarkyROM via pc odin to get root then flashed stock LC via mobile odin pro. dont worry abt the triangle you can still remove it in darkyROM. Now in GB everything is fine. no deep issue, better battery life. idk i think the current ICS release is not for us (user) yet as there are major problems haunting it. id say just wait til it become very stable and everyone can confirm it without bricking stories.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] romac:
No need to flash another ROM. The stock ICS ROM is fine once the suggestions in this post are followed. I had a massive drain problem with the phone draining from being fully charged at 7am to 10% by 7pm. I followed all of the suggestions here in this post, and today after 6 hours of use I am at 86%
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] frasch42:
Those suggestions don't work for everyone. I followed them with no success. Going back to GB and then performing a clean install of ICS from there was the only thing that worked for me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] netoperek:
I flashed from stock GB to ICS with kernel via Mobile odin pro (root to root)

after restart: gps cannot fix, battery better , restart again, GPS problem fix ,but battery life is a drama(in stand by lost 10 % per 1h), restart again, and now everything seems to be ok

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RavenY2K3:
Idk if anyone else has tried and what experience they've had but, I flashed the CF kernel from the LPF ROM and I've found the battery performance to be a lot better with it, don't think it makes a difference but, I also flashed the modem from that release too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] texaspledge:
LPF no longer going into deep sleep

Well, I hate to say it but i'm now also seeing same issue on LPF that I did on LPY. Phone will be great for about 24 hours, then suddenly it stops going into deep sleep. Haven't figured out what specifically causes it (if anything). I'll keep playing with LPF but if it follows the pattern that I had with LPY then I can reboot with the airplane mode fix, it will be good for 24 hours and then back again...

Also, I used PC Odin to flash the whole package FYI and am not rooted.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] denialnw10:
Thanks a million! This worked for me too! :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] friedje:
I can also state that my note on LPY charges 4 times faster then it did on GB...

I fully charge from 10% in less then 1 hour !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] p107r0:
This would mean charging current close to 2.5A (2500mA), which would be nice, but slightly improbable. Just in case, I'd reset the battery stats.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] emuX:
I've discovered something funny... My ICS Note was behaving fine once I turned off auto-brightness - going into deep sleep as expected. Then I installed Juice Defender because I like the auto-switch to silent on a time of day basis and the fact it turns off my WiFi when I'm away from home as I always forget.

Now the CPU never goes into deep sleep and sits at 200MHz all the time. Uninstalled JD again and back to sleepy time. Hilarious to think my battery saver app is actually causing my battery drain !

Shame, JD worked great for me on GB. Let's hope the developer or Samsung fix the issue soon!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] p107r0:
try lama, it is not a battery saver, but seems to have similar functions built in, works for me and does not eat much battery (below 10mA in standby with wifi off)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gavinfabl:
The mg2uk battery tip has left me with 20% battery. Off charge at 6am and time for sleep now at 22.53.

I can live with that battery. 16 hours use and down to 20%.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] monomer888:
Just to add to the suggestions already made, if you're after something simple to just switch off wifi when there's no wifi connection available, then you might be interested in taking a look at WIFI Power Saver. It seems to work ok on stock ICS on my Note.

1) Problem with car adapter; 2) Problem with WiFi

Hi, I'm coming from 2.3.6 LC1 to German LPY. After I did'nt get my KIES-updated system to work properly, I did a clean install with mobile odin. Since then there are only some problems left.

1) With GB I had never problems with my old car adapter. But when I tried car navigation with ICS, I could'nt trust my eyes: The phone discharged, while the battery indicator said it would be charging. I tried nearly everything: plugging in / plugging out with screen on or off, rebooting the phone with and without adapter, USB debugging mode on or off, and nearly every combination. Nothing worked. Now I bought a new car adapter (Sony), and everything works fine. Since I had no problems with GB, I think my old car adapter is technically okay, but ICS seems to need a new one (maybe it supports fast charge - I cannot verify this, because the manual says nothing about this and I have no possibility to measure it).

2) At home, the WiFi symbol constantly indicates that the phone downloads something. The red arrow doesn't show all the time, but most of the time. Normally, if there is really a communication, it also shows a little upload from time to time, even if you are downloading a large file. The data statistic shows WiFi downloads in a range of some hundred kB on a day when I am at home. My Fritzbox WiFi adapter shows nearly no communication with the phone (only the regular sync data, far away from that wich the phone says it would have downloaded via WiFi). I think it is not an ICS incompatible app, because I have no downloads when I am not at home. Communication via 3G/H+ works fine. This problem exists since my first ICS-update, and even the clean install did not fix it. Nether did the flight mode hint that helped many people in this forum. I also tried to disable dynamic IP, wich also didn't solve the problem. Should I try to flash an old modem with the risk that WiFi wouldn't work anymore at all? Has anybody an idea what I could do?

Thank you! - Jan
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] porcusor:
For me the bugs in ICS with deep sleep and battery (and others, not to mention the ERASE bug with the emmc) aren't worth it staying with ICS. I just went back to GB LC1 and couldn't be happier!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bobet96:
I'm sticking with ICS given that battery life has never been this great. I lose 2 percentage points after 7 hours on standby. :thumbup:

I'm on RocketROM v.1 using LR1 modem and Chainfire's LPF kernel.

Hi

I saw this same listing and enquired. I received the exact same reply from Elise (no taxes etc) and I followed up with some questions because it all seemed too good to be true and I didn't think the 64GB was even available until after the 16GB had been out a while. She replied saying her business partner who is also her brother works for Samsung, hence the bulk buying they are able to do. When I asked about the closed listing (it ended during our E-mail correspondence) she said she had to close the listing because she was receiving too many requests. She did say it'd all go through eBay still, so that buyer and seller were both protected. I had to reply with details of what I wanted (pebble blue or marble white) plus my address INCLUDING MY EBAY USERNAME. She claimed this was to check my feedback but I think it's so they can generate a convincing spoof E-mail from eBay.

She said I'd receive an invoice from eBay soon and to let her know when I did.

Sounds very fishy! Her English is poor too.

I'll let you know what the eBay E-mail looks like.

Yes mate, I know how you feel. I got straight on to my credit card company this morning & told them to not pay out on this transaction, also contacted Paypal & they told me not to worry as even if the sale has gone through I can still get my money refunded from them. Just annoying, but I suppose its as they say, if the deal looks to good to be true it probably is. Still annoying though.
[Galaxy S III General] goodfella1978:
It's good to know PayPal will cover us in these situations. And it's also sickening to know there are so many ****s like this out there trying to rip people off.

Still no 'E-mail from eBay' to be seen though!

You're exactly right, I myself kept on thinking if it's too good to be true, it probably is, but when it revolves around a sweet piece of kit like the GSIII it's hard not to be intrigued!

And good work on the IP lookup Candanga!

I just flashed the new radios and now have no 4G signal at home. Do they take some time to settle in? I was getting 4G fine before. Is there a way I can go back to the old radios or do something to get 4G back?

Thank you in advance for your help and have a blessed day!

Try doing a factroy reset in Hboot. If that doesn't work, re-run whatever RUU you are currently on.

Is there a flashable zip of the gingerbread radios? Or do I need to ruu? I am S-off if that matters at all.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
If you are running the latest radios for ICS, you need to be on that Hboot 2.21 or 2.25 for them to work correctly.
[HTC Rezound] Romans8vs1:
Thanks! I will update the HBOOT now
[HTC Rezound] mikeyk101:
I recently did the same thing, flashed the leaked radio only and lost 4G. And S-Off as well. I could only get 3G and that was pretty lousy data speeds. I may have taken the longer way to fix it but I did the full RUU back to Gingerbread and the 4G was working again. I then did the full newest ICS leak and still had 4G. It's possible that you might get away with just running the full ICS leak and get your 4G back as well. Then you will have to flash the ICS JB Hboot again to benefit from the S-Off.
