I apologize I should be more clear. The insecure kernel allows you to actually root but does not actually root the device. The next step in the process is for you to flash supersu or superuser (preferably in recovery. Go to chainfires supersu thread and it will provide you with the correct packages to flash. I believe that is one method of doing it. By insecuring a kernel it just allows you to root. You'll need to include su binaries but the cwm packages on chainfires thread should take care of that. Let me know if you're still having issues and I'll take a more personal look into it. :)

Secondary: I know for sure if you download the qcom toolkit it will quide you through rooting without issues at all. Then you can simply flash this kernel overtop and you should still be able to keep root.

I agree, its absolutely insane and I love it! I had it kid tested on Saturday, my youngest was playing games all day, had it off charger for about 16 hours and still had around 20% left.

I can actually "use" this thing and not worry about it dying by 3:00 in the afternoon.

Here's my thing I'm an average user of my phone. Everyday I live on the web and I talk on it and text a lot but I still get really good battery time and this was just with the default Android operating system stock from Sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yellowman82:
Got the note 2 earlier today finally!!!!!. But yea this is a beast got it with about with 56% when I turned it on and this was the result mind you it wasnt full charge.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bonzai:
Folks, remember this phone has a 3100mah battery compared to the ~2500mAh batteries of other phone.

We have an extra 25% battery life built in just by increasing the mAh (Milliamp Hours) capacity.

But even still ... it's damn nice to have a phone that I could easily get 2 days use from, or stretch to 3 days if needed.

I get about 7 hours screen time.. Even with playing games and Texting non stop all day while browsing the Internet

Everything on 3g..I think those getting more then 7-8 hours are on wifi alot

Exactly I was amazed at how well this thing handles Gaming, Movies, Streaming etc. Tasks that would regularly RAPE another devices battery, on my old Evo4g Even when I ran games like Fruit ninja or watched a decent sized video on youtube in HQ it would eat the battery in a couple hours. Now i know comparing the two is completely different leagues but for me it was my last device that I had that could even perform somewhat similar tasks (before that was a Palm Pre). Just running GTA3 on my Gn2 the other day I played for 1hr and 10min straight with graphics turned all the way up and it only drained 2-3%. I was in shock, I was expecting ATLEAST a 15% drop for that kind of game for that period of time. I understand that it is a pretty large battery but at the same time with the performance that it puts out and the beautiful display IMO the battery performance is phenomenal.

This damn Note 2 just continues to paint a Smile on my face every time I use it. Something just always seems to do it. And for those of you who really Love to demand everything from your phone which can be a workout on a battery. Use the Galaxy Note 2 Holder / Battery Charger / Battery, which comes with a Dock/charger combo that holds the phone up in the front then flip open the flap behind the dock area and a spare battery is charging within the unit. It has built in LED's to let you know its charging and done. The kit runs for $49.99 and comes with the dock/charger a spare STOCK 3100mah battery and battery case. The small clear cases like an old Micro dv tape would go in for a camcorder(but obviously a firm fit for the battery). Now considering if you buy a stock replacement battery they go for $44.99, this combo stated above is a deal in my mind. You will never have to be anchored to a charge cord again, just charge up the spare throw it in its small case and toss it in you pocket or car. Use your device to your hearts content then when running low just pop the back cover off and slip in spare and bam full 100% charge. Then you could either plug the dead/low battery in your car and have it ready in a couple hours again. or just continue to use you phone and plug it in when you get home. I personally love this accessory and Have it on order from Samsung's US site. Which if you look around they are offering 50% off to US customers right now on ALL accessories. :good:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] impulse630:
FWIW... i picked up one of these Charger/Cradle/Etc units from Samsung's website last week at 50% off and i LOVE it. Haven't had need of the spare battery yet, but having it gives me peace of mind. Plus, the cradle works in portrait or landscape position, and you can plug in the USB to charge while it's landscape (so it works as an alarm clock). Plus, added perk... since the N2 is approximately the same thickness as my Nexus 7, the cradle works with that tablet as well. Best accessory ever!

Did you ever figure what happen to your phone that causes all that battery drainage? I remembered your 7 hrs screen on time all with cellular data. Those number are hard to beat. I more curious so something like that won't happen to me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] dap325:
Its so refreshing to have a phone that I don't have to worry about carrying around a charger and plugging it in at every opportunity that I have. Moderate usage today involved a few phone calls, texts, about an hour of twitter, downloading and listening to a 3hr podcast, about an hour of various games. Been off charger for 19hrs now and I'm at 59% battery. ****in unheard of coming from an og EVO. One of the many reasons I love this phone.

You are right..mild usage. Max of 3 1/2 hours of on screen time. The whole goal of this experiment was to see how long it would last. I have been pretty busy at work and at home these last few days...hence why I really didnt use it that much.

I use rooted kernal Persus at Oc'd to 1800ghz GPU Oc'd to 533mhz Lowered the voltages to 1250 on the 1800 and 975 on the gpu thats significantly lower than stock voltages at 1600 and 440 and get around 6 - 7 hours screen time but never really ran a complete test i might run one this weekend coming obviously for a work day its more than fine because for 10 hours of the day your not going to use it and for the remaining hours before you pass out i doubt your spend 5 hours solid on your phone before you pass out... So a work day test is pointless for me anywho i know i got plenty of power there its weekends when i nerd out on the thing and play need for speed and wild blood (graphicly and cpu intense games) i notice i do need to charge at least once maybe twice but would be intresting to know how long it lasts will come back and post my findings :)

I do how ever know i get 5-6 hours on screen time min which is fantastic i think also people need to take in to consideration signal strength if your on 3g - 4g and the phone is on 1 - 2 bar it will drain alot of power searching for more siginal if you live in a area where your maxed out at 4 - 5 bar non stop theres a massive battery saver right there ethier that or turn on flightmode and use wifi and get people to use fb or something to message you depends on the type of use i guess but yah 3g searching is a massive drain for any phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] XxLostSoulxX:
For the last part. that's partially true if you're on a CDMA device Ie Sprint and Verizon if you're low signal area that is completely true. in general CDMA sucks when it comes to battery life. however if you're on AT&T or T Mobile HSPA network ie GSM network your battery life is going to be twice as better.

After messing around with my settings and freezing bloatware apps on my phone through Titanium back up, my battery life has been a worlds difference today. Lost 5% in 3 hours. Here are a few things I did:

- Turn off Google Now. While its a great feature and great to show off, I never used it.

- Settings -> Wireless and Network -> More settings -> AllShare Cast -> Turn toggle off (Whenever i open this back up it turns on and searches for nearby devices, but i can't tell if it is because i opened it?

- Turned off all Location services in Menu -> Settings -> Location Services

- In Google Maps, go into Settings -> Location Settings -> and I have everything unchecked in this menu

- Settings -> S Pen -> Uncheck S Pen Keeper (Hardly use S Pen)

- I also went through all my apps settings and looked to see what was syncing and checking for notifications and either disabled the syncing or changed it to an appropriate setting.

Hopefully this helps some of you
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] revs9k01:
I would also like to throw in to this list:

Consider getting the Juice Defender app. I was having a really hard time getting my battery under control due to bad reception areas and since the app disables mobile data and wifi from time to time (unless there is active traffic goign on) it helps prolong my battery life. I am sitting a 3% lost in a 3 hours time thus far where i wouldve been somewhere south of 80% without the app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MeetFace:
Do you find it takes an annoyingly long time for things to toggle back on? (The reason I couldn't stand it on my old phone)

sent from my ginormous Note II
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] revs9k01:
Not very long actually, im surprised with the speed everything comes back on.

I also tried it on my old phone and ended up uninstalling it after i bought it because i didn't like the way it worked on that phone (Thunderbolt) but on the Note II it seems snappier and works incredibly smooth.

FYI: I keep it under the balanced settings and i purchased the ultimate version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] XxLostSoulxX:
to be honest with you I used to use it on my samsung epic 4g but I really never even saw a difference. and if I need to turn mobile data off I could simply do it by clicking a toggle in the notification drop down menu. And was easier to do so then an app that uses resources and was a wake lock as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ac16313:
I cant remember what rom, might have been cyanogenmod but idk I used to live the option it had to shut 3g off when the screen turned off on my Epic 4g. The only bad thing that this phone doesn't have is the lag caused by data turning on
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] refox2:
I love this phone. I have been getting great battery life. I still use juice defender, I lower screen brightness to about 40%, I use setCPU(max=1600,min=300), I have Perseus newest kernel(Alpha29), and I am on JellyBomb 11 rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] theoner1:
Nice!!!!

I get good battery life on fully stock unrooted and yours is just unbelievable. Wifi the whole time? Curious to see yours on mobile data only. Im on the road a lot and wifi not an option but this phone still the best even on mobile data.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] refox2:
I am on 3g a lot also and I still get close to the same battery life. If you don't have 4gLTE in your area yet, it helps battery life to set network mode to cdma so that it doesn't keep searching for LTE.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kbrann85:
Figured I'd give a few screenshots of my battery life from 2 days ago for comparison to the others in this thread...I was completely shocked by this monster phone. If anyone wants to know my exact setup with cpu settings and all just pm me or quote me here

in an emergency. screen dim. ALL radio's turned off including sync and mobile data nothing but the talk portion on. with one of those battery program to force it to remain in deep sleep when off. I bet you could get a WEEK with this phone.

isn't it rated for 35 hours talk time or some nuts number like that ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kbrann85:
This is what I found...but agreed according to this standby time it's something like 12.5 days which is insane. I also had my brightness on auto the whole time so I'm sure I couldn't gotten way more time but I need to see the phone outside a lot and hate constantly changing settings even with a toggle while away from a computer in car I need to fix something.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nerys71:
I just know this. no matter HOW much I use it I can go the entire day with ZERO fear of killing the battery so far.

I did find one HUGE issue to be concerned about though the conditons are pretty unique.

so far (6 times) I have gone to bed watching a video from an OTG memory card (mtp is so slow its disgusting I can't deal with it) anyway. watching an hour video takes maybe 7% of the battery (I was always at around 90-91% starting from 97-98%)

so far EVERY TIME if I "fell asleep" while the video was playing the phone would stop playing when the video was done the screen would turn off (I checked) but by morning the battery would be 8-16% nearly dead. (5-6 hours later) every time.

I have NOT had this happen under any other conditions yet.

any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kbrann85:
Probably has something to do with the settings of the video app itself....ie.. an app like antutu benchmark the screen stays on until the test is finished no matter what your settings are set for in screen off time. So maybe with video apps it keeps wake locking your phone even when screen is sleeping?

my point was that on a CDMA phone basically if you have a low signal area especially if you're roaming you are going to get the worst battery life possible.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] XxLostSoulxX:
Battery life is potentially great yes, but my point is because of CDMA it can lead to ****tyness.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] fourire:
my screen is often over 70%, what should I do to decrease ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MeetFace:
Two things you can do do decrease screen power usage.

One: Turn the brightness all the way down

Two: Stop using your phone

=]

If you have at least ~15% of your total hours with the screen on, it will show the most battery usage. Pretty typical for higher-end phones I think.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mulhiny:
If you look at my post here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35442631&postcount=169 you will see that great battery is possible even with the lowest signal. This is with auto brightness on, no battery saver, yahoo and gmail pushing, and weather updating every 3 hours. I've owned dang near every android device Sprint has sold and nothing compares. If you can show me another phone that can go 15 hours off charger with over 7 hours screen time I may be inclined to agree that this is bad battery life lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] MeetFace:
mul, the Difference is that your 17 hours of usage gave less time for the bad signal to affect your screen time.

Those of us in bad areas will be able to get 6-8 hrs of screen on time, but we won't be able to do it with total up time upwards of 30+ hours very consistently, as some have shown.

Personally, I'm in love with my battery life, sure we'd always like it better, but LostSoul's point still stands, CDMA is a battery leach in bad service areas. I've never had "optimum" battery life (in comparison to others running near-identical setups in different service areas) with my Android devices b/c of this, b/c I don't get great coverage for a large chunk of the day.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mulhiny:
I can certainly agree..if you check a few pages back I also posted pics where I had full signal and, yes, I went 30 hours. I guess the point I was trying to make was that with good service you can get phenomenal battery life.. but even with bad signal you still can achieve something much better than any other device out there for Sprint..can hardly say it's bad.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] theoner1:
Well said. Sprint is Sprint, some have great service others probably not so great. With that being said, yes signal does matter. You are right, nothing at the moment on Sprint that can match the power and battery life of this beast.

Question for you guys..

Should I unplug the battery cable once the notification light turns green? I'm at work and I have another 4 hours to go here and the phone is fully charged.. Is it ok to leave it on until I leave or will this damage the battery?

BTW, on my last charge I got 33 hours but only about 3 with screen on, I did have about 2 listening to music and moderate to light use overall.

And WOW... this phone charges quickly... 2 1/2 fully charged...
