[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kitsune44fr:
I've noticed that same if the SAR of the last samsung mobile is very low, the reception is quite good compared to other phones.

Do you notice also an improvement of the signal reception? Because if it is the case, it is that your headphones are used as a secondary antenna, giving the phone a stronger reception and less power consumption (better signal = less need of power usage for processing the signal)

This is just a theory...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Opperhoofd:
After some ICS ROMs I went back to Gingerbread, mainly due to poor battery life.

When Litening ROM 2.0 was published I flashed that one. I liked the GB version a lot. The battery life was remarkable, a lot better than previous ICS ROMs. Because Litening is not much supported I tried Alba, also LQ3. A surprise because battery life was the same. I think I'll stick to ICS this time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dimcus:
Alba often uses LB2 modem (from GB) in his ROMs - maybe it is the reason. I myself observed huge batterey drain on latest ICS ROMs while connected to Wi-Fi at my workplace. Fixed it by flashing ZCLP5 modem (from early "LP5 leak" ROM).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] boboev:
Hm, that is an interesting theory. I am not sure, however, that the headphones' cable really improves GSM radio reception. I think it is only for FM reception. Of course I have no knowledge behind that, just thinking.

I have frozen lots or apps in Titanuim Backup like:

- the whole range of SNS's

- Social Hub

- Wi-fi sharing manager

- the infamous wssyncmlnps

- software update service, etc

Also I have stopped a bunch of receivers, using Autorun Manager Pro, and disabled a lot of processes from Autostarts.

This should mean that I have opted out the most common battery drainers. I have tried to disable auto-sync for the time being, but that does not seem to be much of a drainer, so maybe the real problem comes somewhere from the modem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] VR_S:
Hey dimcus, i've been having this WiFi vs battery issues with some routers(including the one at home), weird enough it doesn't happen on some of them. I did read somewhere about flashing te Modem file, what leads me to a couple of questions ir you don't mind. Are you on ICS? Do i need to be root to flash the Modem file? If not, any risks involved? I'm on stock ICS LPY DBT.

Thanks in advance,

VR
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] boboev:
I flashed the ZCLP6 modem earlier today, guessing that it would be better than ZCLP5.

It is too early to judge but first impressions are that maybe there is a slight improvement in battery on 3G but not something worth it over the stock XXLPT that I used to have and generally battery drain on wifi seems as bad as it has been ever since I flashed ICS.

I have read that some people dared to wipe their Notes and after that most of the problems had disappeared but I don't want to risk getting some brick.

I will try several other popular modems and will report back.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] VR_S:
Hey, did you have the same issues? The orange arrow(th download ONE) keeps going on and off all the time, happened in most routers i've tried. So any help will be more than welcome...

I have been with LR1 modem for about 40 hours now. What is better than the ones before is the much better behaviour on wi-fi. Other than that it is hard to tell any differences. So far 7 hours since unplugged, 1 h screen-on, half time wifi, half time 3g - battery is at 75%

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ag69:
Unfortunately after several different ICS Roms (From Stock LPY to Cleanote 2.20) with several different Kernels (Stock, SpeedMod, Goku and more) and few modems (XXLPT, ZCLP5) I had to go back to Ginger due to extremely poor battery life. With all roms /kernels/modems combination the behavior was very similar. The phone was going into deep sleep pretty easily when idle with very low battery drain. On the other hand when using the phone I was getting about 10% drain each 20 minutes (A little less with data wifi and all sync off). I was also getting overheating with temp most of the times over 40 deg C. This drain was almost the same even with system energy savings on. I could not understand the reason for this strange behavior considering that many other users are having great battery life on ICS with their devices. Anyone is experiencing this situation ? NB now with Ginger the battery life is ok.:confused:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tameracingdriver:
Looks like I'll be keeping my s2 longer than I thought. One of my main criticisms of it is battery life. Currently < 4 hours screen time is normal for me (actually pretty good as other roms were struggling to get 3 at times).

How much actual difference does it make? I'm not interested in tweaking voltages or under or over clocking btw, as tried all that and they introduce their own set of problems IMO. On paper the difference is only about 20% but I've heard some say it makes more difference than the paper figures would suggest?

Improved battery life would solve one of the phones main limitations for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
Yes it will make difference. How much depends on your use.

If you unplug at say 8 am and your phone dies at 5 pm, this bump will get you pass 8 pm.

Less than 3 hours?!!!

I use mine virtually all nite at work (9 hour shift), I watch a movie, flash new ROM's, surf, text, you name it........ and I've not a yet ran out thru the nite!!

And then I charge it for about an hour or so before finishing, and again when I come back the following nite, before it all starts again!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
That's why I said, depends on use, and therefore put an example.

Should not be taken literally.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Yes. Been using one for > 6 mths & definitely better than stock battery (obviously, as you'd expect). How much difference does it make ? Approximately 20% I've found over an average period of 'mixed' (within a charge light/moderate/heavy usage) use (again as you'd expect given 2000mAh is a bit over 20% > than 1650mAh). More difference than the paper figures would suggest ? Lots of people on XDA make all kinds of outrageous/ridiculous claims about lots of things (battery calibration anyone ? ). I'll leave it at that.

Thanks for the replies. Roughly a 20% increase as you may expect I guess.

My phone is currently on 9.5 hours on battery, and 1 hr 54 screen time. Current battery level is 32%. This is typical / decent for me! Not spectacular!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i360*:
Getting these extended batteries doesn't really help alot. You need a good kernel and ROM combination to get the best battery life.

If you're using ICS, Get Fluxi XX Kernel. Resurrection Remix and Fluxi will vastly improve your battery life. With heavy use, I can get 12-odd hours out of my battery. You also need a good modem because crap modems are battery hogs.

I tried the 2000mah battery and didnt notice any big difference from my original battery...

For me it was a waste of money... :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tameracingdriver:
I've looked at that ROM, and although it looks nice enough, I don't see any compelling reason to change the one I'm using, which, although it doesn't seem spectacular on battery life, is actually as good as most other ROMs I've used (and certainly better for me than the likes of CM9).

I've tried the whole undervolting / clocking, and just end up with a device that runs more "choppy" than as standard, and that annoys me more than having slightly iffy battery life.

Well I thought about this yesterday, basically from 100% to about 5% the phone lasted about 15 hours, and with just under 3 hours of screen time.

If I kept the configuration of the phone the same, I'd be getting approx 30 minutes extra screen time and about an extra 3 hours of standby time.

Realistically, it doesn't seem worth it. I'll probably just do what I do now and if I know that I will need the phone later in the evening, just keep it plugged into my USB cable at work when I'm not using, and, if necessarily, take my charger with me. Its not really a big deal.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i360*:
You don't need undervolting/clocking to get good battery life. You just need a good kernel. My device isn't choppy at all and I've got my max clock speed set at 1.3 and I'm really happy with my battery life.

If you don't like the look of NeatROM, try Resurrection Remix, which Fluxi or N.E.A.K kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tameracingdriver:
Thats just it though, I've tried Fluxxi (on CM9), Siyah, Redpill (back in the GB days) and probably others I've forgotten about. I find them much of a muchness.

I'm always amazed at the figures some people get mind. Its a bit like MPG in cars, in certain cars, I never seem able to match what other people get in the same cars even by being really careful!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Happy_Jack:
An old thread I know, but somebody might find this useful.

There are 2000mAh batteries on eBay (for example) that are the same physical size as the standard battery. In fact these are just 1650mAh batteries with a different label. There are also genuine 2000mAh batteries that are slightly thicker (and more expensive and come with different battery covers) that should logically give 17.5% more life as (2000 - 1650) / 1650 = 0.175. I haven't tested one myself but this seems to match the 20% extra that others have mentioned.

My solution was to buy a battery charger and 3 spare batteries from eBay plus a retractable USB charging/data lead (all very cheap). These batteries are labelled 1800mAh but I doubt they are - they last no longer than the original 1650mAh one, but they were cheap so who cares?

When I'm at work I plug my phone into my PC if it needs it and when I'm driving I always charge it in the car cradle. If I don't have the opportunity (or forget) to charge it and the battery gets very low then I simply slap a full battery in and recharge the flat one. Changing batteries is quick and easy if you discard the nasty standard battery cover and use a Samsung mesh or Casemate case to hold the battery in and protect the phone. Works for me. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] durangatang:
Definitely worth it, I have had one for a few months now. Stick with OEM tho! Got mine for $25 USD shipped through eBay. Had to hunt for weeks to find that and the seller was sold out in a day or 2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Happy_Jack:
How can paying over 5 times more for 20% extra battery life possibly be worth it? The cheapest 1650mAh battery on ebay.com is currently $4.99 with free shipping. Samsung OEM batteries perform no better than cheap knock-offs in my experience.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0zair:
Well dont know much abt those batteries but i tried a 2200 mah power pack which i think was a waste. its basically an external charger

Expectations: Will charge my phone atleast 1 time from 0 percent

reality: charges my phn at max 40 percent and is connected as a usb so takes its time to and this is withoit using any apps or wifi etc in idle condition

and another stupid thing abt it is that it starts charging when phn is charged 100 percent to which wen i wake up in the mornings the battery is already at 80 percent coz the power pack has been charging the whole time and it takes abt 4-6 hours to charge it.

Overclocking wont do much good in terms of gaming performance. Our device lacks gpu which is why games don't work as they should.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazou:
so u have root, and a custom rom. The only thing u are missing is a custom kernel, i think. Flash a kernel that supports your rom and can be overclocked. Than setcpu will work.

The game will run maybe a bit smoother. a gain of 1-5 fps hopefully. Maybe more, but i dont know for sure.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slymobi:
Wow this is an old rom, not seen this pop up for a time.

I used to use fpse(the whole reason i rooted my phone lol) and too played tekken.

Overclocking does help a little but dont expect to be pulling off special moves lol as response is not great even at highest o/c. Mess around with fps in the game/app (cant remember how it works) i think i used 25/30 i got it running quite good at one point but still laggy.

P. S stick with a sense based rom for fpse as it works best on sense on wildfire.

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slymobi:
Trial and error really but 1st i would flash an o/c kernel. Head to dev section sticky, complete wildfire guide and try jacob flash to any rom kernel or rempuzzle thread and flash rempuzzle kernel.

Then its about testing which values work best for you,use setcpu to adust carefully as setting o/c too high has been known to cause boot loop for some. Go up in settings in parts not straight into 768.good start would be 633 test, then 652 test...... Etc etc

Ive already mentioned about framerate so test different values along with o/c values.

There is only one sense rom. I personally recommend and that is rempuzzle.

Thats it you have to do the rest lol. Goodluck, hope it goes smooth.

How much weight does it add?

Since it has a screen protector I don't need to keep my old one on do i?

Does it have a non belt clip piece? (flat back)

I've got both now too, I ordered the Defender and they sent a Commuter by mistake, said keep it and we'll refund since we don't have the right one. Just got the Defender from another seller.

Build quality on both is really excellent, it took me a couple of minutes to work out how to get the Defender apart to get the phone in, it's that well put together.

The screen protectors on both leave a lot to be desired though, the one on the Commuter is good but leaves the top of the glass bare, the one built in to the Defender is just awful, it works fine but makes the screen very grainy.

My phones are subject to lots of bumps and knocks at work and good all round protection, especially for the screen when not in use, is important. The Defender with the addition of a decent screen protector fits the bill perfectly.
[HTC One S] stealthnoodle:
