Hi, i have amazing battery life. Here is what i am doing / running:

1. WanamLite V1.4 LJ7 ROM.

2. RedPill Rev 0.5 Kernel.

3. Power saving ON.

4. Screen brightness @ 30%.

5. When at work or home: only Wi-Fi ON, everything else OFF, when driving: Data on, Everything else OFF.

6. Kernel: Governer: Pegasusq or Conservative / IO Scheduler: I alternate between: Sio, Noop, Deadline. CPU MAX/MIN are set to default 1600 Mhz / 200 Mhz.

My Note 2 right out of the box gave me excellent battery life. So i really had no need to install a custom ROM or Kernel in regards to solving that problem. But i installed them anyways so i can benefit from their performance enhancements in regards to speed. And in doing so my battery life also boosted :).

I am a VERYYYY HEAVY user. I am on the phone all day ... and on average. By the time i take my phone off charge (7am) to when i leave the house (10 am) with listening to music for 30 mins while i get ready, and reply to some emails / text messages, listen to the news. By the time i get in my car i have 96% battery remaining. And than all day I'm updating client notes in Evernote, and responding / posting on XDA various times during the day. At 6 pm when its time to go home i have about 70%-80% battery remaining. So when i get home after work i have at minimum 70% remaining. ( am the kind of person that likes to wake up and have 100% battery on my phone. So i like the battery to be finished by the time i goto sleep and on charge.) So when i get home i usually set brightness at 100%, Wi-FI, Data, GPS, NFC all ON and along with turning the Power saving OFF, so that way the battery will be dead by the time i hit the bed at 11 pm.

I would say if i don't do the above where i get home and turn everything on to drain battery that the battery normally lasts me based on my usage at minimum 2.5 days with approx 10-13 hours screen on time.

Hope this helps! And for all that are wondering, YES i am a bit crazy!
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Bit crazy? Well I don't know! Is that 13 hours screen on time like 60% charging in 30 mins?

And no need for a custom kernel and ROM for N2, not yet.

Don't go paranoid buddy. You're getting awesome backup. And you CAN'T do anything to decrease Android system usage. Besides, those other wakelocks are running just for some seconds.

Going on 33 hours and 3 minutes on one charge with 18 percent left, with moderate usage of FB, text, internet usage, and a call or two (don't talk much on the phone these days). This is with wifi and GPS on all times, screen on time is about 4 hours.

This battery on this thing is insane. Love this phone.
[Galaxy Note II General] rakan1182:
Wow MAN .. Super great report

But have a question ::

I have read ur report approx 3 times

and can't know f u use 1 Kernal or more :d

Good advices my friend (y)

Thx alot

how is ur battery life man ?

Ur settings and usage ?
[Galaxy Note II General] kokobsb:
my stats from note 2 Bell no heavy use
[Galaxy Note II General] DanDroidian:
That is the biggest factor I've noticed.

Using 3G= over 6 hours

Using WiFi= about 9 hours
[Galaxy Note II General] Deathridge:
Not bad...

Medium usage over a fews days :P
[Galaxy Note II General] Hatimyal:
Super battery life

I have been using mote 2 for last 1 week and from what i experience i get around 10-12 hours of batterylife.

Using full wifi continously hary stopping for 1/2 hour or so.

So from what i see the battery life is way more than just amazing.

It is as good as my ipad battery life.

If your battery only went down 2% in 2 hours ... then that is pretty good!

---------- Post added at 11:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 AM ----------

LOL, thanks. I'm glad you liked it. No i am only using 1 kernel lol. RedPill Rev 0.5.

---------- Post added at 12:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ----------

Wait, your only getting 10-12 hours battery life?? Is what your talking about screen on time or overall from 100%-0%? Because if your talking about screen on time, then yes thats amazing. BUT if your talking about overall 100%-0% then no, that is not good at all!

Also i wouldnt go as far as saying its as good as the iPad battery. My iPad battery gives me approx 30 hours of screen on time! On my current usage i have to charge my iPad maybe once every week and half.

---------- Post added at 12:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 PM ----------

Ya thats pretty good! I myself am running WanamLite, but V1.4. I would recommend you flash RedPill Kernel if you want even better battery life + performance!
[Galaxy Note II General] Pacas:
Thanks, ye man i tried but have the camera bugg with RedPill :(. Couldn't find the download link for the zip file to fix this. Will wait for his next release, In the meantime I'm trying perseus 25.3

3G will burn more battery then wifi. I suspect many here are posting results on wifi usage which uses less powah
[Galaxy Note II General] sohebq:
This is 100% true. I have never seen wifi keeping the phone awake, unless the signals are weak

sent from: The New S-Pen :)
[Galaxy Note II General] tarunsoni:
Is it only due to 3g that im getting just 3 to 4 hours of screen time?

Sometimes mediaserver and android system take up more battery than display.

Can you please suggest me how can I improve the battery life.

I have one more question: how much time does it take to charge the phone from 0 to 100% while the phone is switched off.

Mine took around 6 hours. Is that normal?
[Galaxy Note II General] kebabs:
I get around same 4-5 hrs on my phone on cellular, not 8, dunno about the others here
[Galaxy Note II General] MohJee:
Not normal at all. Are you using the charger that comes with the phone? From 0 to 100 should take you around 2 and a half hours with the stock charger.
[Galaxy Note II General] sohebq:
You have horrible 5 hr extra awake time. 90% of that is due to 3g.. for one charge just turn off 3g and see if u found any difference

sent from: The New S-Pen :)
[Galaxy Note II General] Dpk1:
I get 8+ hrs of screen on time (but without 3G use), i've posted screenshots few pages back. You might wanna lower the screen brightness manually to (say 30-35%) & conserve power. Also check what apps are using the cpu most (causing wakelocks) & force stop/freeze them if you don't use them. I've seen that google maps(latest version) causes battery drain even when not in use, so FC this app does improve standby time for me.

About charging: Mine takes 2.5 hrs to charge from 1% to 96% and another 15-20 minutes for full charge (using stock wall charger & cable). I'm on stock non rooted fw (XXALJ3). Initially mine used to take too long to charge (7-8 hrs), but then i did a factory rest and everything's been fine ever since!
[Galaxy Note II General] arturo90:
Great Battery time! i still have 40% of juice
[Galaxy Note II General] dzontra11:
No it is not normal at all...
[Galaxy Note II General] therockk:
This is with HEAVY usage. With my normal semi-heavy usage the battery with this many hours would be at 60% instead of the 45% like in the screen shot.

And what is your definition of "Heavy Usage" ? as your stats showing nothing heavy usage :)
[Galaxy Note II General] amila619:
Samsung Note 2 Battery

Mine lasts about 6 hours with full charge.:rolleyes: not really enough though...
[Galaxy Note II General] rakan1182:
My usage ..

* Stock ROM

* Stock Modem

* Perseus Kernal

My battery life improved with this kernal,

Last I can't get more than 14 hrs and half!

Who can read the BBS report :p
[Galaxy Note II General] MohJee:
You're fine. The reason you get lower results than others is because you use 3g instead of Wifi. If you switch to Wifi only you'll have 1+day with 7-8 hour screen time.
[Galaxy Note II General] rakan1182:
Thx dear :thumbup:

But I'm looking for more great results :D

Will test the first Stock kernal later and WanamLite Rom ^_^
[Galaxy Note II General] Panic26:
This battery is a beast, man. Incredible. Flashbacks of the good old SGS1 days a couple of years ago.

- 4 hours and 40 minutes screentime

- A lot of tweeting

- 3 hours of music playback

- Some Whatsapp, Facebook, browsing, Youtube

- Some Google Maps with GPS on while walking the street of Amsterdam

- Some pictures taken and edited

- WiFi on for like 75% of the time

- Hypernote v0.4 with redpill 0.5 kernel

And to think that battery wasn't even fully charged (92% if I remember correctly).
[Galaxy Note II General] rakan1182:
OMG OMG OMG :eek:

Guys, u have amazing Battery life ---

I think I'm going to change stock rom to custom rom :D :thumbup:
[Galaxy Note II General] viper_79:
no need to change to a custom rom... I've tried all of them, and have finally settled with a stock, but deodexed and rooted firmware.

brightness is the key to battery life... this is what I can tell u after hrs and hrs if experimenting and tweaking everything ever so slightly.

my stats, what I got yesterday:

phone on for: 1day 14hrs

voice calls (2g): 2hrs 38mins

screen on time: 8hrs 14mins!!!

wifi was on all the time, set to switch off with the screen.

surfing on 3g was abt 30mins, which I manually switched to for surfing and switched back to 2g when done.

brightness was set to abt two notches below 50%

had I not spoken on the phone so much, the screen time could have gone well over 9hrs.. close to even 10hrs maybe.

all in all, I am a verrrry pleased man :)
[Galaxy Note II General] jauhari:
2 Days standby with 4 hours screen on is totally awesome..
[Galaxy Note II General] rakan1182:
But why ?!!

Why u selected the stock rom ?

I think the custom rom is better in performance and battery life !!

And doesn't have more unwanted apps :thumbup:

So , f we have a custom rom + excellent kernal .. This mean is more of battery life !!

What do you think ^_^

[Galaxy Note II General] PaulitoX77:
Okay so i had to attend a party and I didnt bring my phone for security purposes lol. Gave my Note II a day off in short

So i left it fully charged, brought my old S2 along with me. Got home around 10pm...cool deep sleep huh.

Went to bed and just left it there. Woke up 5am, it was at 99%. So 17 hours and only 1% drop. Now that is amazing.

Pure stock rom, not rooted, disabled the crapware. Nothing fancy

The 17 hours total = came home around 10pm and the phone was already on for 10 hours as seen in the screenshot, slept up to 5am. So that is an additional 7 hours right there. so total time on 17 hours

and my s2 has its own sim, so as my note 2

[Galaxy Note II General] DanDroidian:
I assume he also took his SIM out of his Note2 and put it in his old S2 during that time, so his Note 2 was practically a sleeping paper weight with no signal.

Nothing surprising there.

ONe biggest flaw in this post is it rates no mention of how much cellular data is in use in screenshots or from user. Cellular radio is the second biggest battery killer from screen, yet it hardly rates a mention at all. I think these stats are a little deceiving to the unsuspecting.

one of the main reason why my screen on time look bad compared to everyone else is that i am always on 3G, but i am okay with what i got out of the battery on the note2. it is similar to what what i got when i still have my s2 with seidio 3200mah batt.

To the people who get 8hrs+ could you possibly install and run battery monitor widget and see what sort of drainage is being reported?
