Not from what I've seen, just talking from personal experience. Pervious to using the kernel I would receive about 18 hours from my phone before flashing the kernel.. might be fine for you but myself I tend to be on my phone all day. With all day use of my device with the stock battery I wasn't nearly getting what I needed from my phone. Come noon my phone would have about 15-25% battery life. Using the kernel im using now with all day use I still have over 50% battery life by the time im off work(10 Hour shift). To each their own I guess.

I saw a listing of someone posting a SS of their device using stock 14 hours with 15% As I mentioned before I receive 30 hours+ with 30% or more battery life remaining from my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WizeGuyDezignz:
Stock kernel works fine for me. :D

i netted 52 hrs up time w/ 7hrs screen on with the stock kernel...as adrynalyne said, the stock kernel has great battery life.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BennyJr:
I know i'm gonna sound like a noob but does anyone know where I can get the stock kernel from?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kregstrong:
I've used stock and 3 different kernels with aosp ROMs and battery life has been pretty great with all 4. Stock was pretty excellent. They are all pretty much the same fellas.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LordRalh3:
So... I wanted to see what it would do if I didn't play my games and just used it as a phone... Stock battery cpu overclocked to 1.8 merry christmas
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
That's great but the screen was barely on. You must have been literally using it as a phone just to make calls. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] LordRalh3:
Its was about 80 texts, 15 mins of calls, and then checking xda and internet every half an hour, if im using it solid for harder stuff i can kill it in 5 hours ive just never had a stock battery that could last 4 days with any type of use
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Moose1988:
possibly making a switch

hey guys, i currently have the RAZR Maxx HD, and have been seriously contemplating switching to the Note 2. my buddy has it and it seems awesome. more of what im into and woud use. I do love the battery life of the Maxx though and was curious to see if anyone else made the switch from Maxx HD to Note 2. any insight on comparison of the two? worried that i may be spoiled with the battery and that anything else might be disappointing. i have read though that the Note 2 is very impressive speaking of battery life. thanks guys..

- soon to be Note 2 owner.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
how does 50hrs up time with 7hrs screen on sound?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
Sounds terrible. I got 6 days up time with 39 hours screen time........oh were talking about off the charger.? Never mind. That sounds pretty good. Lol.....I get 13 to 14 with 7.5 pretty frequently. Depending on what I'm doing. I Skype a lot and that drains it on 4g.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Moose1988:
Lol. Thanks guys. Are you running stock ROMs or no? I'll more than likely be keeping it stock.. until I get used to it at least or if changing ROMs is needed. Hopefully I'll be a note 2 owner later today as I conveniently found a guy who wants to trade his note 2 for a RAZR maxx HD. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tbns:
I'm running CleanRom 3.5, but it's basically stock with some goodies (also using the option of the non-stock kernel). Stock or not, you're going to love the Note II. I traded from a DNA, and as much as I liked the DNA, I freaking love this note II. Seriously; haven't liked a phone this much in a long time... and the battery for me has been phenomenal. Haven't been able to get even near killing the battery in a day, even under my heaviest use (makes sense - gsmarena got ~11 hours of video playback; not razr maxx 16 hours, but still awesome!).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Moose1988:
Right on. Thanks! I am worried I may be spoiled by this battery.. but I'm sure the note will be fine. I just think I'm over thinking it. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jameslqr:
Just got the phone last week. Battery life so far is nothing but outstanding.

Light use - around 2 days without charge

Heavy use - around 18 hours.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JetBlue:
Is that settings apart of Paranoid Android or is that a custom settings since that's pretty cool.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fourire:
But how do you do that to get these results? (widgets, sync, screen)

I have 16 hours before a battery recharge
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tbns:
I have Facebook, Foursquare, Twitter, Tapatalk, Gmail, Exchange, Gtalk, Google Voice, Google Now (location, mail, everything on) and Carbonite mobile ('find my phone' feature on too) all syncing data constantly. Also have the contacts widget (full screen) and Google Tasks widget on my homescreen. I'm running the live wallpaper that has the blinking little squares, forgetting the name. I use auto-brightness. Yesterday, I unplugged my phone at 6am, I watched a good 30-40 minute movie, played music at the gym for an hour and a half at 7am, including turning on the screen every minute to add data to my workout app (Jefit). I constantly browsed facebook and checked emails all day, about 10-30 texts an hour, and used my phone to browse the web while I was at the mall shopping with the wifey. I got home, and tried installing Google Wallet, so on screen time almost an hour for that - including multiple reboots and ROM-flashing. Also two nandroid backups. Then regular use. Then flashed CleanRom again because I wanted to get rid of acid audio I had installed earlier. I also fielded several 10-30 minute phone calls throughout the day.

And by 11pm at night, I *still* had 25% battery life left. I'm very impressed with the phone. I find that I don't really have to do anything in regards to trying to extend my battery life, because it just works all day. No need to turn off the screen when I'm using google navigation. I don't worry about live wallpaper like I did with all my previous phones (thunderbolt and DNA). It just lasts, and I just use the phone with no worry about battery life.

If you're only getting 16 hours before a recharge (I'm assuming you mean that the battery is almost expended after 16 hours), I would definitely check to see if there is something running in the background that isn't right. Or just ask for a battery replacement! That seems pretty short for battery life, unless you are playing games or watching movies all day. Even then, gsmarena got 11 hours of video playback... so 16 hours of regular use seems odd.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
read back thru the thread...i posted how to obtain smoking battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Moose1988:
Well... got my note 2 yesterday. Lovin it. Battery life seems pretty good considering ive been on it non stop. Lol. Definitely looking for tips to extend it even more. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] fourire:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Moose1988:
First day of use and I'm at 9 hours 45 minutes with 4 hours 12 minutes of screen on time at 38% remaining. Impressed so far especially coming from the razr maxx hd.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Deckoz2302:
Hmmm...can you say I was bored today ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SwiftLegend:
Coming from a Galaxy Nexus, I had to do a lot to keep my battery going. Always clearing recent apps, turning data on and off, etc etc. Listening to music on my 35+min train ride every morning would destroy my battery. God forbid I wanted to play a game or something to pass the time. By the time I'd get home from school and practice, I'd be lucky to have over 30%.

Right now I have 79%, with 5 hours of on screen time. Most I'd get from my GN was 3 hours. I stopped every "save battery habit" I had on my GN and am still getting great life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Goldchamp:
That is impressive!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WillEat4F00d:
79% with 5 hours of screen time? o.O
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Travisdroidx2:
Coming from a gnex battery is insanely good! Feels weird leaving the house without a charger or spare battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] i7icegy:
I am in the same boat.. with the Gnex, I had to do a lot of battery saving routines... turning off bluetooth, wifi, black background, everything black, restrict all sorts of background data usage.. with the Note II, I feel like the sky is the limit haha. I am now even running a live wallpaper, leaving everything on and still survive to the end of the day with 65% left.

Love this phone!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Travisdroidx2:
The thought of a live wallpaper on gnex would be silly. This beast with this awesome screen and battery laughs at it. Only my second day with the phone and I am amazed!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] wc4482:
I don't know if it has been mentioned already, but I recommend this app for improved battery life. It makes your phone deep sleep when the screen is off, you select how often to sync/wake.

Search the play store for "deep sleep battery saver "
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lostnuke:
I don't have any screen shots to share.

I will say this. I disable the battery altogether on my status bar. I don't even look at my battery usage anymore. It's refreshing really. Coming from the Galaxy Nexus. I use my phone all day long. At night, I plug it in. That's it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] big.daddy:
This is the best android phone I have had especially as it pertains to battery life!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] yellowman82:
Screen time?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] homerunbm33:
For those of you getting 5+ hours of screen on time, what brightness do you have your screen set to?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WizeGuyDezignz:
Auto brightness. I got 7 hours screen time on my first full charge with this phone while using auto brightness.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] homerunbm33:
Awesome thanks. I'll try that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] big.daddy:
I have my screen set to auto brightness.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] geoff5093:
He's asking how long the screen has been on for.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] big.daddy:

Holy crap good stuff there, 7 hours. I imagine I could get 7 if I had wifi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
Without a point of reference, it doesn't mean much. Poster should post the rest of his usage.

I got this, on an 1850maH battery, off wifi entirely on an LTE Galaxy Nexus.

Looks amazing, but without a point of reference, its meaningless.

I was running this, the entire time:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] blackbass595:
Yeah I've seen a few that I thought the same thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] awwilson21:
I get a full days use easy, and I have been using the hell outta the device. I went 14 hours yesterday and still had 42% left! So refreshing coming from the Thunderbolt. It would be dead in 4 hours doing the same stuff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] endo689:
Easily get about a day and half of moderate out of mine. Coming from a nexus to this battery life on the note 2 just blows it away. Nexus never survived more than 8 hours on a single charge.

Powered by my Note 2!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] adrynalyne:
You have almost no battery being taken for most of what you said you did.

Facebook is a battery slut and isn't even in your list. In fact, only 16% is accounted for in the way of apps.

Call me skeptical, but this sounds like an unreal scenario of running a black screen for hours on end to inflate values.

Kind of like I did here with an 1850 battery on a gen 1 LTE device:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ChaoticWeaponry:
I promise I used all of that stuff. For some reason it didn't show up. Probably an hour total of facebook usage. 30 minutes of calls, 100-200 texts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Benjamin150:
Not as much heavy use as I usually do due to work, but great nonetheless. My Gnex couldn't dream of this.

Does anyone notice a different between the official Samsung battery and batteries like QCell? I bought the batteries before I bought the phone, not knowing I wouldn't need them. But I seem to have better battery life on the Samsung OEM battery than the QCell ones. Tonight at work I been mostly listening to music on PowerAmp, some music on Slacker Radio, some texts, and I watched the first half an hour of Taken 2 on my phone with full brightness just for those 30 minutes. I'm running Beans 5, on stock kernel, GPS and LTE on the whole time

Best battery life to date. About 95% on 4G, switched to wifi for a movie because 4G was giving me low def.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] StingHP:
My battery life was good for the first 10 days of having getting about ~25 hours or so on a charge. However, the past couple of days I have been struggling to get 18 hours. My usage hasn't changed at all. Last night I was at 43% went I went to sleep at 1am woke-up at 9:15 and found my phone dead. This is disturbing considering how well the battery was working before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Admiral2145:

Not even close to normal. You must have a rogue app eating you alive. Download and install Gsam Battery Monitor and check the app sucker area of the app to see what is draining you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ChaoticWeaponry:
This is what I got from minimal-medium usage. Texting, some calls, facebook and twitter, and internet surfing. Mostly idle time though.

Any issues to note? Im hoping to just drop in my gn2 and unmount, format, then use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Screenshots do not do any justice for the ability to show battery life as there are many variables that can alter the life such as syncing, reception, background processes, what the phone is doing when the screen on (HUGE difference between reading an article and playing a cpu intensive game ), brightness, data on/off, etc.

The best way to really judge is by someone comparing it to a previous phone. For me , my galaxy note lasts 2x longer than my droidx with ext battery and 3x more than the Rezound. With MY configuration, my battery lasts 2-3 days.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joshw0000:
I've had 0 issues whatsoever. I used this 64 gb in my S3. When I got my GN2, I simply transferred it over.

I agree completely. Also, you can cheat the stats by charging the phone. As long as you're not too close to fully charged or discharged it doesn't seem to reset battery stats.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AZSALUKI:
5 hours screen time is pretty good. is your screen on auto brightness? i'm guessing that those on this thread getting incredible life also don't have much more than 4-5 hours of screen time. it all depends on how you use it. also, many on this thread are unlocked and have some custom power settings. i get about 24-30 hours with about 4-5 hours of screen time (but it's set to turn off all radios from midnight to 7 a.m. so those 6 hours don't really count as it uses about 2-3% overnight).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kench33:
I'm probably going to order the Anker battery. Haven't had very good luck with Samsung batteries. I'm on 13 hours 3 hrs screen on 26% left. My s3 would be dead by now with 2 hrs or so of screen on time.
