This is mine.... I am on stock everything, but rooted, and have a stock battery that the phone came with. This is after not charging my phone for 2 days. These were taken yesterday. I did took the phone off charge on Saturday morning, and plugged it in to charge Sunday night, so pretty much two full days of use.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdt73:
Agreed!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] egorre:
Stock not rooted real world use. screen on almost always after being unplugged. Netflix streaming at least 90% of on screen time.

Auto-brightness turned on

power saving off

Motions on

WiFi off

Mobile data on

GPS on

Bluetooth off

Sync on

Hope this gives an idea on those looking for more info about the note 2's beasttery.

This was on jedi v3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdt73:
Jedi doesn't seem to be any better than stock, actually, worse, if you look at the guy up a few posts who had 24% at 1 day 10 hours. Still don't know what the benefit of going to a ROM is currently.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pearse:
Thanks to this thread I decided to buy the note 2!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] one80oneday:
Battery life is simply amazing especially with battery saving modes! Love this phone!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] DeoreDX:
Stock. Turned Now off. Moderate usesge mostly browsing and email .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jshamoon:
Amazing. Stock/rooted/debloated some. 2 push email accounts. Wifi/bluetooth always on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] _Motoki_:
The attached is with running an 8500 mAh battery I bought from eBay.

I did some pretty heavy usage too including several hours of calls (it's the holidays :p) and gaming, video watching etc. After almost 3 1/2 days was finally down around 8%. I could probably have squeezed a little more out of it if I can figure out how to stop maps from doing whatever it's doing in the background (Google Now related maybe?).

Originally I was going to use this extended battery as a backup for long trips but I rather like the idea of not having to charge for a few days plus the door they put with it, while it does add a little bulk, actually looks nice and fits with the phone. I'm thinking this is going to be my main battery now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mysticfrog:
I guess for me, just to get rid of all that bloat well that and multi Window. .. sides with the new kernel ptmr applied to his rom my phone never really gets hot as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdt73:
Omfg. 3+ days! I think I will pick up one of those 8500mAh for trips. Definitely would last for am entire C17 flight across the pond. Thx!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattb6288:
does NFC even work with that thing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] _Motoki_:
There's no chip attached to the back of the door so I'm assuming no. I don't think any of the other 6500 mAh batteries work with NFC either. At least I haven't seen it in mentioned in any of their descriptions that they do.

It's not a problem for me because I don't have any plans to use NFC functionality but for anyone who does be aware that you will be giving it up with an extended battery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kharizma:
Here's a shot of mine, can't believe the battery life on this thing!! AMAZING! :good: :D :victory:

@ _Motoki_ Wow, that's insane!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] theoilman:
I found Google Now to be the single biggest battery drain on my phone. after turning it off I think I should get at least 36h, maybe 48h depending on usage.

Bullsh*t. It doesn't even register. Gotta be a troll...

Bad Batt.

Okay guys, I'm about to blow your minds. The first Note 2 that has a bad battery.

I have not touched it today and I'm down less than 50%. Seriously, don't know what is kill my battery.

Edit: Forgot to add the awesome screen time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] twolfekc:
Guessing it is your single thats missing up the battery
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cyress8:
Nah, this is my work phone. It has been letting me down lately since I need to have it on literally all day while writing notes and ordering parts and calling customers.

Somedays I cannot get to a charger and having it die on me just doing nothing is pretty bad.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] elite-fusion:
hey guys, how do i turn off Google Now?

Also, i bought a 6400 or 6500 on ebay, and it came with a NFC chip attached to the back of the battery door, not sure if it works but it does look like a chip. I have not yet tried it out though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] twolfekc:
Hold down the menu button then when it comes up press it again and select settings then there will be a thing on the top right to turn it off
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] elite-fusion:
Thanks man :) It was actually off already for me :) I dont use these voice command things besides to type in a text message or say something to google while im driving, but google now is useless for me lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] twolfekc:
Let me know when you get the battery
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] elite-fusion:
i already did get the battery but havent tried it out, it was for my wifes phone, but it didnt come with a battery charger, so i am a bit skeptical charging it through the actual phone it self, so not sure :-/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kharizma:
So today I had a 100% at 8:00 a.m. Went to work and I tether while I'm at work the entire time from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Did some light usage like using Google maps and taking some phone calls before going home. Used Google search as well. Got home around 7:30 p.m. and was on the phone constantly for 5 hours. Took this screen shot. Battery life on this thing is really amazing. I can't believe it! My S2 would've been dead half way through my shift at work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] predation:
You stock or rooted?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dre89:
After finally getting everything broken in my battery life has become awesome.

Still running stock with no bloat removed, just some build.prop tweaks and Perseus kernel

noted for future reference on my Note 2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kharizma:

Nice. On screen time?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikeb85:
Screen on 3 hrs. 47 mins
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Afishl1:
Fyi, I've put it on my car charger while connecting to bluetooth and playing Pandora for a maximum of 20min (not sure it was even gaining power as it's not fast charge); also put it on airplane mode while I sleep.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrchris1234:
Had been great...

Not sure what happened today, my Note 2 had been fantastic for battery life. Today it sucked down to 5% in a matter of hours. Looked at the usage and Exchage Services were at 50%! I do have an exchange email account setup and it has been fine for weeks with Exchange Services not exceeding 5 to 7% in a day. No changes made to the phone and I was at home all day so nothing changed from yesterday or the many days before. Frustrating to have this just randomly popup like this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kharizma:
Darn forgot to look at that when I took the screen shot. Sorry. :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] yellowman82:
Not much usage today just light moderate a few texts, phone calls, browsing the web and Tapatalk and watching youtube videos just took these now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JosephL:
I just got my note last night, charged the battery overnight and started setup today. Gee..

Amazing battery life by all accounts, looks like it will go on full brightness and everything I can turn on and go for 10 hours.

I stream music everyday for hours at a time. My poor little S2 would be good for about 3 hours. I've been streaming for 6 hours now and still have 40% left. Looks like it would last about 10 hours in total with very heavy use.

Finally, we have a battery in a device we can use all day and not have to conserve power. Well done!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] GNStrider:
Notice the power on time for phone though, I started using it from the get go and about 6 hours of it was watching movies. Meanwhile, my old blackberry 9700 died within the same timeframe without any usage lol -_-
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rhiannon224:
No way that's with the stock battery. I've reached 7 hrs screen time but 10 hrs on stock battery, not a chance unless it was airplane mode making zero effort to connect to network and making zero calls.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
It's possible, I could have been close to the same. I had almost 7 1/2 hours screen on time with 26% battery left. He also has great signal (all green) while I have fair to poor signal (no green at all)... my screenshots are on page 6.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] madcat1990:
There's been reports on a new boot.img from the newest build of CM10.

Do I need to flash that seperately? Does TeamWin 2.2 flash that automatically if its within the CM10 zip file?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] abhipati:
You need flash boot.img separately

You need to extract the boot.img from you cm10 zip oand put it in the same directory as fastboot. Reboot your device into boot loader and run "'fastboot flash boot boot.img' (no quotes), then flash the ROM and gapps via recovery and reboot and enjoy.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] madcat1990:
I see. Thank you my good sir.

Edit : Just flashed it. Extracted it from CM10 zip, put it on the same folder as fastboot, inside the SDK, ran the command under CMD (Administrator) And it worked flawlessly!

EDIT : MODS PLEASE CLOSE THIS THREAD, MY QUESTION HAS BEEN ANSWERED
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] abhipati:
Please add [solved] to the title, so that other people can look for similar issue
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 911jason:
Quick question: When you extract the boot.img file, do you also leave it in the zip? In other words am I flashing the boot.img and then the full ROM zip or will it be a modified ROM without boot.img?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] abhipati:
You extract the ROM and flash boot.img. Then you flash the full ROM zip, you do not modify the zip because you just taking boot.img from extracted folder
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Z_Dawg:
How about if you're just flashing a kernel that is in a zip format; is flashing the boot.img through fastboot sufficient? Or would we have to subsequently flash the zip through recovery?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kancherlapraneeth:
you can just use a FLASHABLE zip consisting only kernel.. just adding file to zip will not flash..

so flashing boot.img through fastboot is sufficient
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Z_Dawg:
My bad, that's what I meant; I am using a flashable zip consisting only kernel...thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
If you are on Hboot 1.14 (coming from AT&T firmware 2.20), it is not possible to flash kernels from recovery. Its the sole reason you have to do it from fastboot.

---------- Post added at 01:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------

To clarify, flashing the boot image from fastboot is only necessary if you are on hboot 1.14. Previous hboot versions, the kernel is flashed automatically when you flash the ROM.

Hi, has anyone seen a replacement back cover with a kick stand?, (not a case cover with a kickstand)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ponyboy82:
I haven't, but that would be sweet. The kickstand is the only thing keeping me from a bumper case. I loved the built-in one on my old Thunderbolt.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] yamahakid:
i have been searching high and low for one and have yet to find one. I am very surprised that more phones do not come with them built in (like the tbolt, and the evo), i think it is a great idea.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tamanaco:
The back cover of the SIII is basically a "flexible" membrane, so finding a replacement back cover with a kick stand will, most likely, add thickness. So, it depends on how much additional thickness you're willing to live with... 1-2 Millimeters?... I know you don't want a "case", but you might be able to find a slim cover that adds about the same thickness that a back cover with a stand will add. I've been considering on getting this $10 Amzer slim case with kick stand to use it with my spare battery when I travel. If you scroll down on that page, you can look at the video demo of the case. I have not pulled the trigger because I'm also considering getting a case like this or this with backup battery and kick stand, but without the flap cover. This way I avoid the inconvenience of replacing the battery on the plane or train while in the middle of a movie. Still, if anyone comes across a very slim back cover with a kickstand, I'd be interested.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] thacounty:
I found one on ebay last night... I am at work and can't use it, but try searching galaxy s3 battery wings. It is a replacement back that uses wings for a kickstand, I would never use it, but some people might like it.

In wi-fi,there is advance option where you can define sleep policy.

Hello,

You can adjust the WIfi option with *#0011# code on dialpad.

[NFC Hacking] Rebellos:
There's probably chip working like SIM-card or the bank card, so you can communicate with it through NFC complaint machines, but you can't dump everything in it. So well... it cannot be said it's not possible, but the complexity of it is most likely similiar to the complexity of cloning SIM or debit card.
[NFC Hacking] Damastus:
If the card is ISO14443 A or B compliant it can work. You will need to have some informations on the way the card works though. Not easy and only possible on a rooted smartphone that uses the PN544 from NXP.

It might not even be NFC. And where I work, no badge = No entry. We're told to inform security if someone enters without a visible badge, including "pocket/purse badging".

I don't beleave there is a good working call recorder for SGS or SGS2 out there, as Samsung blocked this function in StockRoms. :(

There are some apps out there trying to make this work re-catching the mic signal by themselves but they don't get access to the binary speaker signal within the firmware function as it was e.g. possible on some HTC or old Nokia phones.

It's not that they're not working but the signal quality is very bad.

Is anyone using their G Tab as a media center with the dock? I am thinking about using it stictly as a tv media center now. If you are, could you tell me how you are using it? Or give me some ideas. Like what apps and ROM to use. My main use will be streaming movies and web surfing. Thank you.

[G Tablet General] MechAniX.one:
Well I guess there isnt anyone out there that cares about this topic. :( Any ways, looked for some stuff. Anyone using Plex or XBMC for Android?
[G Tablet General] waxtadpole:
I've been using my GTab and dock for watching online video from WatchESPN and Fox Soccer on a TV. Now that there are JB ROMs available with HDMI audio and video I had planned to explore the GTab's full potential. To be honest I didn't know there was an Android version of XBMC. Ironically I've been trying to get XBMC installed on a Raspberry Pi, which I finally got last week. I'll post on how it goes with the GTab. Good luck.
[G Tablet General] tobalaz:
I just load movies onto the micro sd card and use HBO GO.

Also use it and my Gametel pad to play NES, SNES, Sega Master System, and Genesis roms.
[G Tablet General] MechAniX.one:
Thanks Tobalaz,

What rom are you currently using?
[G Tablet General] f'n around:
Funny thing is I have been trying to do this since I got my dock about a 1.5 years ago, but have not been completely happy with it.

I am using Frankentab right now, but I should explore other options again (been out of it since mid summer when I got a TF201 and gave the gtab to the kids). The biggest use I get out of it as a media center is for using it as a digital picture frame and for listening to music that I have on the microsd. The dock is plugged into my TV and stereo, so for those two instances it works great.

As for watching movies...I have been slowly converting my DVD collection to .m4v files with handbrake and have been happy with the outcome. The problem is I store the movies on my NAS drive and stream them. When using my TF201 they normally play without a problem. The gtab on the other hand has problems keeping up with the transfer rate and has to buffer frequently making watching a movie this way impossible. I could download the movie to the gtab then watch it seamlessly, but it takes too long to download, and it really defeats the purpose of what I am trying to do.

I will have to try a few other ROM's maybe to see if I get better results.

Cheers!
[G Tablet General] tobalaz:
Black Jellybean.

When I'm playing a game or watching video it works great.

I get freezing between tasks time to time, still messing with settings seeing if its just me or the rom.

It does everything I want it to, and as far as I know is the only 4.o or 4.1 rom with a fully functional hdmi dock.

Been using it about a month, before that I used Beastly/Clemsyn Froyo up until I got my Gametel and for some reason it just flat out refused to sync with my controller (wouldn't recognize as an input device) but it was fantastic for video.

But for what I want, I need to use Black Jellybean or find a Froyo rom that will work, and since I've only been tinkering with BJB for only a month (had my Gametel just a little longer than that) I haven't ran through the 2.2s to find a complete list of compatable roms.

If I can't get it to run smoother I'll probably start toying around with various 2.2 roms again and get my flash back. Who knows, maybe it only seems to run slow for me because B/C was just wicked fast.

As far as the Gametel goes, its a nifty little controller. I went with it over a PS3 controller just because I could snap my Evo 4g into it and play my 8 and 16 bit roms on the go, but its a little smaller than I like. Not bad, but it won't work at all unless you update it via pc once it charges and the instructions are a little bare, but for me experimenting and learning are half the fun of having my electronic toys.
