In the last 2 days I am getting 12-13 hrs of very heavy use with a solid 7-9 hrs of screen time. This is my 4th charge on this battery. Love this phone!

Sent from my rooted SGH-1605
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] omnifox:
I will call it... FANTASTICO!

7h screen time, and 4-5 bars of LTE.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rsmin:
I can't believe how great the battery life is on this. I can go all day with normal use without recharging. That in and of itself is enough for me to love this phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RaptorMD:
The battery life on this phone is awesome for me so far and I have owned a lot of Android phones and a few iPhones as well during the last 18 months, way more phones that I can to admit to. So far very happy with this phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nnnnr14:
Put it like this.. This phone battery is so good that I have to drain by watching hours of videos and games to charge it before nighttime.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleevasteve:
This was last night. I tried like hell to drain it all the way, to see how long I could make it last. Got me through the entire (busy) day, and until about 1am or so until it was completely drained. I'm extremely happy with this battery life, it blows away my S3, and gets me through the whole day..can't ask for much more! Love this phone...and this community!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jiwengang:
For everyone there,

what is your cell strength like normally? Are you in a -100 dbm most of the time or -80dbm most of the time?

especially for folks with LTE on all day and get 5 hours screen time with 17 hours total usage time..

I have weak cell coverage but i can get LTE. it just drops from time to time.

I only got 2 hours screen time and about 17 hours total use. with even a few hours in wifi.

I can't believe it. such thing is like comparing penis . the smaller ones feel shamed immediately.

Please tell me what you have done to make it longer.

I have 7 accounts in Gmail accounts, will that be a killer?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] UTbone04:
So with the battery at 100%, I took a long drive with google navigation/gps on, the screen was on the entire time, 3G/4G on and off for half of the time each, and bluetooth was on connected to my car streaming pandora. And after 3 hours, my battery was at 50%. Pretty impressive I must say.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] timmyd463229:
I took my phone to the Verizon store and told them my battery is defective the guy said that 15 hours of battery and only about 5 hours of screen time not playing any games or watching any videos is normal for a phone of this size
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Admiral2145:

Any thoughts on why my battery is being zapped?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xXJay_RXx:
Man earlier I had lost 30% in a 2 hours period because Facebook was taking up 48%. So I deleted it, started using the mobile version n so far this is pretty good since I been listening to Slacker Radio most of the time. constantly pulling LTE in order to play the songs
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] yellowman82:
Told you Facebook is a battery hog lol best thing to do is just use the browser.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
my best so far is 1day 14hrs w/ 7hrs screen on, 10% battery left.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jazzman97:
This is the best ive gotten so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xXJay_RXx:
Lol I didn't notice it til last night. I seen my battery rapidly draining and I was wondering what the hell was causing it. When I seen it was FB, the app immediately was gone. FB with the browser isn't as bad as I thought
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flaring afro:
This is the lowest I've gotten, and after 17 hours of being unplugged. I also had played N64oid a lot, taken a bunch of pictures (which all were uploaded to dropbox), have anipet aquarium live wallpaper with about 12 fish in it, and have facebook synced and was texting and facebook messaging a lot. Screen brightness was also always at 100%. I can do whatever I want with this phone and never worry about the battery at all. One day I had about 40% left after 5 hours of on screen time. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Spectredroid:
Nice. I played Plague Inc for like two hours solid yesterday and alot of other stuff and still had like 25 percent left. It really is awesome. Like I said before, Sammy got this right. ;)

myself and a few others in here are coming from the thunderbolt. we had to have a charger in every room of the house and in every vehicle due to its 400mah battery lol. EVERYTHING is an improvement. but to go from that to this feels like i dont even need a charger.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lambo172:
Freakin' amazing battery life! Used my phone heavily today! Looks like I can get about 5 hours screen in time with heavy use
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] suzook:
What settings are you guys using for your screen brightness? I have mine set at about 2/3 high...I like it bright. Best I can do on screen time is 5hrs....same as my gs3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lambo172:
That's what I do for my brightness and I get about 5 or so hours with my screen on. On my GS3 I only got like 3 hours with the screen on
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Admiral2145:
Go in the market and download yaab... It's great for screen brightness... Yet another auto brightness is the full name

I auto mine. Seems to work pretty good on this phone. Last phone I dont think it worked at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FormeriPhoney:
This is my 5th cycle with the battery. Manual brightness, 4g & wifi mixed, very very heavy usage

:D outstanding
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xxxxmarkxxx:
I'm beyond impressed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
those results are skewed...whenever the graph heads back up from left to right, that means it was charging...the battery stats dont reset until you hit atleast 90%.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FormeriPhoney:
Yup. You cheated. Looks like you charged it for about 20 minutes. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TechBSwift:
I'm going to beat you'll..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nrfitchett4:
so do you think they'll release a 5000mah extended battery? That's what this phone really needs!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
not sure....i know that i wont be getting one. 50hrs with 7hrs screen on time with the stock battery is plenty for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nnnnr14:

i use power saving mode at night, dark wallpaper, turn off all sounds and vibration on key press, sync is off, and only use a couple widgets.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Durzo.Blint:
I work from my phone daily browsing websites, emailing, messaging, etc ... and the battery life lasts 2-3 times as long as the iPhone 4S I converted from! :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chaosrealm:
Battery life is fantastic. Keep in my I've been using more as a phone, texts, calls, emails, some web surfing, twitter etc. A VAST upgrade from the crappy battery of the HTC Thunderbolt.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dornstar:
Going great

This is with using it as my GPS on the golf course today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bose301s:
Not necessarily, on my Nexus I routinely would be using it, put it to sleep in my pocket and take it out and have the battery level be higher than when it went in. When you are drawing more power from a LI battery voltage drops, once you turn the screen off and activity dies down and power draw is minimal the voltage can rebound and look as if it was charging even when it wasn't.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] yellowman82:
You are correct about that but when that happens it doesn't show the little green charging bar at the bottom of the graph as you see in that pic its there meaning it was on a charger.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
this!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Realm11984:
Man i love this phone!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] inzandity:
Nixing Facebook was the answer. Constant usage all day. Games, 20gb download, hours of YouTube videos (left a 2 and a half hour long video play with the sound off), Gps whenever I was in the car and plenty of texting and talk time. Love this phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xXJay_RXx:
Im on LTE most of the time even tho i got wifi at home lol thats a reason why huh :( and i got my brightness on auto. I dont like to have it all the way cuz sometimes my phone has this line on the right side of the screen thats visible during low screen brightness n on grayish backgrounds which bothers me

Does power saving really work that well? You notice any lagginess since it throttles the CPU? I could try the dark wallpaper and sounds/vibrations off but I need synce on :/ I have the weather widget from Beautiful Widgets (sometimes use the TW one), Falcon for twitter (that might be the battery killer even tho it doesn't show up on the battery stats) and PowerAmp. Too many widgets?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xXJay_RXx:
There was just once where I seen Facebook take up 48% of the battery usage but any other time its at like 5%. Does it kill that much battery even tho it only says 5% for me at times?

After reading your two comments I've deleted Facebook and messenger.

If you're connected to the facebook servers I would say yes. I had 2 days of battery life and this included 42 minute tv show in hd off the sdcard, downloading apps, web videos, web surfing, ebay, nfl redzone (about 10 minutes), and some ebook reading. I still had 40% left when I decided to plug it in. I should add I had 4g on the whole time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xXJay_RXx:
Okay I did most of what Droidstyles said. I turned off the sounds and vibrations, I'm currently on power saver mode and I got a dark wallpaper. I'm also usually on LTE all day (I got unlimited, why put it to waste :p) but I'm connected to my WiFi. So far I'm liking this a lot :D:thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] itch808:
I LOVE MY NOTE 2, the battery life is everything I've been looking for. I'm actually using my unlimited 4G now that my phone isnt going to die

Nothing short of blown away. First 24 hours with it and I have made no attempt to conserve battery life.

Its practically all screen on time, couple hours Skype while tethering desktop. All on 4g. And a lot of playing and restarts. Also I started the log at (took if off the charger ) at 91%.

see i told you its all in the setup. 6-8hrs screen on with atleast 24hrs up time should be no sweat on this device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lambo172:
Does anyone know what the top few are? It keeps draining my battery slightly faster and keeps waking my phone up, but not keeping it fully awake all the time
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
Top one is google talk.

So is the second

I believe the 4th is connected to or actually DRM protected content storage. I froze it with no issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lambo172:
Even though I un installed gtalk, it is still waking my phone up. What should I do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
Idk..maybe u missed some of it??? Get an app that will show running services and processes. I use system clean up. Allows you to freeze stuff.

So far so good. Last night at work I was listening to Slacker Radio and Power Amp all night but it didn't hit my battery as bad as I thought it would. Was on LTE when I was at work for 8 hours, on WiFi when I got home, n been on LTE again for the past hour and a half. But so far its great again :D

Very happy with the battery!

I've had mine for just a few days and I'm amazed. If you knew that I migrated from a HTC Thunderbolt, you would know why! This battery is superb. I don't know why anyone would need the extended one unless you threw it into the bag to go on a camping trip or something.

There's a bunch of ex bolters in here. Myself included. I have so many chargers I never use (one in every room). Including my car charger. Lol
[Atrix 4G General] maajstor:
I had no intention to push battery to its limits. I had busy days and forgot to recharge it. I was quite surprised when I saw for how long it runs on one single charge (see attached screenshot). I answered my calls regularly, made some calls, checked email a few times a day, and played no games.

What is your longest run on one charge?
[Atrix 4G General] Atr1x:
Which ROM are you using?
[Atrix 4G General] Acvice:
Close but no cigar i believe. Lokifish has had the longest running battery life ive heard of. But you can mimic his settings. They are in the photon compendium thread.

Edit:

Just realized i was in the atrix section. Oh well, same difference. The settings i mentioned are still applicable to you all though. My bad...

*runs home*
[Atrix 4G General] maajstor:
I need stable blurred ROM with full functionality, so Nottachtrix seemed like a good choice. I use it for about 6 months and I'm convinced it's still the most stable among blurred ones.

I have 197 apps under "Downloaded" section.

I use only two apps for slight tweaking regarding performance. I disable apps I don't need to run on startup with Autostarts and I automated it with Tasker to switch to airplane mode between 23:00 and 8:00. That's all. No over/under-clocking/volting.

So I'm on stock 2.3.6 (retail - Brazil), and I get 12 hours or so of battery: i barely touch the phone during the day and that's the most I get. Anyone care to give me pointers on how to achieve that with full blur functionality?

Cheers!
[Atrix 4G General] maajstor:
Have you read my second post in this thread? Have you seen attached screenshot in the very same post? If you do, I guess it's pretty clear what's my recipe. ROM + kernel + tweaking. Nottachtrix + faux123's kernel (1 GHz version) + mentioned apps.

On Neutrino 2.9 I get max 14 hours thats with light usage and wifi off most of the time, as soon as WiFi is on I just watch the percentage drop by the minute. :rolleyes:
[Atrix 4G General] maajstor:
I recommend you to install BetterBatteryStats from Play or look here. Just take a little time to study how it works, read help/manual. I remember before I switched back to Blur based ROM I had similar issues and discovered by beforementioned app that it was well known Bluesleep issue. I fixed it eventually, but how.. I really can't recall, it was long time ago.
[Atrix 4G General] vladeco:
I didn't see your post, sorry! Which version of NottachTrix do you use? I was only able to find 1.3.1 on SamCripp's magic FTP server.

And also which version of Faux123 kernel? 024r or 026b1? Thanks a lot for pointing the way, cheers!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strife182:
Ok, so Monday I had my Galaxy set up with Dorimanx kernel 7.22 dual booting 4.1.2 RR (1st ROM) and SalmanROM V4.2.(2nd ROM). I decided to remove the 2nd ROM and went to dual boot options in Recovery mode to remove it, however the phone got stuck while formatting data. I Restarted the phone in Recovery and was able to do a backup but when trying to access the internal SD card I got the error can't mount emmc/.

After reading a bit here: [GUIDE] Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII (I9100G/M/P/T VERSION INCLUDED!) I found that my phone was soft bricked and had NAND rw corruption. I followed the steps but was not able to flash the recovery files or the kernel alone, I was only able to succesfully flash the bootloader but once I did that I tried the kernel again and had no luck. I decided to do it again and flashed the bootloader, Odin displayed it was completed and the phone rebooted, only that this time it didn't turn on.

Now my phone is basically dead, it doesn't turn on, it is not recognized by PC/Odin. I ordered a USB Jig which is supposed to arrive next week to see if that can revive it but looking around the web I'm seeing a guy selling an S2 for basically $100 dlls., the phone turns on you can hear the music when booting, rings when you call, only that the screen stays black. Seeing that my S2 might have a damaged motherboard this could help me fix it for less than what Samsung might charge me (I got the phone used so it doesn't have warranty)

My question is, should I wait for the jig to try and revive the phone? What chances do I have ? or should I get the spare one and replace the motherboard?

Thanks for helping!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strife182:
