4th day with the phone and the battery life has gotten better. Train your battery properly and if you have a good signal 30 hours seems to be the medium. With heavy use all day at least moderate will get you 30 though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stkiswr:
If your in a good signal area you are going to avg 5-6 hours screen on time with no power savings enabled. Im only judging a typical 16 hour day and could care less about leaving it off the charger to inflate numbers.

If your in a por signal area dont expect these numbers although when I went to a pretty bad signal area last week it still didnt destroy my battery. I jave gotten 6 hrs screen time with no issues on every chsrge. 9 hours are spent on lte the rest nesr wifi. Its always 3:15 screen on time at the 50% .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stkiswr:
I got a 64gb card yesterday and loaded up somw movie. Watch 2 hrs of movies today so the radios weren't doing the work for signal...still as always just on lte. Autosync on. No powersavers. Auto brightness. I do turn off the capacitive lights as I know where menu and back are. What a joy to own something that can do work like this

Hi,

What is the best way to train your battery?

Hi,

I leave wifi turned on so when I get home it automatically connects. I do not have a wifi connection during the day I am using 4g, so I am wondering if there is a drain on battery or anything negative to having it on all the time.

Thanks,

Bryan

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thenuke1:
wifi does also drain the battery. Its just like GPS having wifi on, your phone will constantly look signals to connect to.

As far as "training" your battery. I dont think thats necessary anymore with the current batteries.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
the best way to train your battery is to pull it from your device, tie the usb cable around it, take it for a walk three times a day, and give it praise each time it yields 6+ hrs of screen on. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
3G and LTE will drain your battery far more than WiFi.

From most to least in battery loss impact:

LTE

EvDo

WiFi
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stkiswr:
Even letting wifi continuously scan is barely an impact. Looks like the consensus is the note2 on vzw is getting 6 plus hrs screen time. Mine does :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jonathon1289:
I just flashed Beans 6 and the Perseus kernel on Monday night. Today is my first full charge day since the flash, and I have 3 hours screen on time and down to 50% battery. But, phone has been unplugged for 20 hours now....

On stock firmware I was consistenly getting 30 hours of life with 7 hours of screen on time. I hit 48 hours battery life with 5 hours of screen on a couple of times.

Light usage, sync for gmail is on. Very few calls, about 50 texts a day. Most of the screen on time is playing games at work
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thenuke1:
i had similar numbers

completely stock i was getting 48 hours out of the N2 on a single full charge. Probably could have squeezed in another 24 hours but i didn't want to be stuck looking for a charger. i was shocked .

now unlocked, rooted, running JBs 6 im getting probably 36 hours. with Wifi tether on pretty much all day for work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BennyJr:
Stock I got 8hrs of screen on
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bond32:
Might be a dumb question but why do you get better battery life on stock?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Probably because a lot of these "tweaks" that devs throw in have no help for battery life, or hurt it. It was the same way on the Galaxy Nexus. Stock is the best battery life you will see.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] apols:
Mine has been pretty stellar. I keep a 2A USB charger in my car, and I've found I just quit using it since I've gotten this phone. On my old GNex, my phone was on the charger constantly. I'm getting anywhere from 6-7.5 hours of on screen time. I never run out of battery because I charge it at night, and there hasn't been one situation where it didn't last me the day. I almost hate plugging it in for a full night when I'm only down to 40% when going to bed, but it takes so long to charge via conventional methods that I don't want to try and do it halfway through the work day on a computer USB port.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AZSALUKI:
Ditto. I've used my car charger once since I got this phone. My old phone lived on the car charger.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
If you're running Facebook you can also watch it go bye bye...I uninstalled Facebook app and now use friend caster and added about an hour to screen time each day. My phone never sees WiFi and I better 6 hours easily each day. 7 is average. I can figure (depending on what I'm doing) getting 1.5 hours per 20% of battery.

---------- Post added at 06:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 PM ----------

I thought I heard that 3g and 4g on this phone were not nearly as different (as in not hardly noticable) In their battery drain stats as they were on past phones like the bolt (could be wrong)...I know on the bolt that 4g Pandora would kill my phone in 4 hours tops. That's nothing else side a couple texts.

You might have heard correctly but your source was wrong ;)

This is with about 5 hours of screen time and I'm still going from yesterday mornings charge.

Also might want to check out the "ds battery saver" app in the play store to increase the time your phone deep sleeps when screen off!

Yeah, I didn't use much data over that period. I usually use wifi, quick bursts of data here and there when I needed it. Honestly I was trying to just see how long it would go. I was reading Game of Thrones on Moon Reader Pro for a good while, too. that and normal phone stuff. (2 long phone calls and playing music in my car, some internet searches and texting of couse) But as proof of concept, I was quite pleased. If you want to, you can stretch that puppy. To be honest, not to long ago I was having problems with it. Seems to be resolved now! ;) I took that screenshot right before I plugged it in and passed out.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dabears747:
I find that curious, on multiple levels. Why two devices for the same purpose? Not bashing, I'm genuinely just curious why someone would do that. Also, what are you doing that they get similar mileage? They really shouldn't be. I think you have a lemon N2, if that's the case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] stkiswr:
Lol. Okay. I have also used the both of them extensively and with my usage I never got 6 hours of screen time on the gs3.

My statement was simple and accurate. Both devices are almost identilical. Same ish software. One is larger and last longer. Has a pen. Seems foolish to carry both as you essentially as carrying the exact same phone albeit larger vs smaller but hey, to each his own.

For me and my usage in a note 2 battery life thread I have seen 7hrs of screen on time on just 4g. Barely over 4 on a gs3 same conditions. That statement doesn't take anything away from the fantastic s3. That's why my wife and I own these devices. We are in great signal areas and both need phones with lots of options that last all day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mutelight:
I get notably (see what I did there?) better battery life with my Note II over my Galaxy S III. This is with the same configuration and my screen time is significantly better. Even with the better CPU/GPU and better screen, my battery life is definitely better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kench33:
Yep same here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1ManWolfePack:
You must have a defective n2 then. I had both, do the same on both and the n2 blows it away on battery. It's not physically possible for the s3 to hold it's own battery wise against the n2. 8 hours screen on vs 3 hours = major difference.

Just switched back to stock kernel on Beans 7 after running perseus basically since Andreilux ported it. I dont remember system being this high. Can anyone else confirm?

Article on wireless charging for Verizon Note 2

I'm a new poster so I can't post the direct link to the article. But Google "wireless charging verizon note 2" and you should find the article titled "SHOCKER: Verizon Galaxy Note 2 DOES NOT support wireless charging". I don't really mind the Verizon branding on the home button, but it appears as though Verizon has altered the phone in quite a few other ways that are a bit more disturbing. There are quite a few apps that have been removed in addition to the many unwanted apps that were installed. But to disable a high-end feature like wireless charging is ridiculous. If they did in fact disable wireless charging just to promote the DNA then that stings even more. Don't get me wrong, this phone is awesome. But why does Verizon always have to take the low road:confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kejar31:
Huh? the Note 2 never had wireless charging on any of the released devices
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drum747:
I think they are referring to the pins and the ability to mod the device for wireless charging as people have done with the ATT and T Mobile versions. Its my understanding that those pins are covered on the sprint version and Im waiting for some confirmation as to if they are still there but covered on the Verizon version?

Also this guy modded his:

After seeing reports from International and non-Verizon Note 2 users showing 10 and even 11 hours screen on time under one charge, I'm rather disappointed from what I see so far.

I'm gonna chalk it up to the fact that most likely they don't have 4G LTE which is a major battery drain, but until we can manually disable LTE I doubt we'll ever know if those battery numbers are true.

Hmm then again if one person was willing they could do a hardcore test where they put the phone in airplane mode with Wifi on and see how many hours you can pull out of that 3100mah battery :P

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AZSALUKI:
You're expecting too much in my opinion. I'm rooted on stock rom. I don't do anything to conserve battery except that it's set to go in to airplane mode from midnight to 6 a.m. I get about 25 to 30 hours total, with about 5 hours of screen time (wifi always enabled). I'm absolutely thrilled with that. I'll never get 2 full days of realistic (to me) use so as long as I can easily get one full day with what I consider fairly heavy use then I'm happy. I plug in when I get to the office in the morning and in about an hour I have a full charge and don't even think about the battery until the next morning, when it will usually be at about 20-25%. I literally put my car charger in the glove box since I got this phone. That charger had been plugged in to my lighter and was just part of my car for the past 4 years. Now I haven't even looked at it for 3 months.
