I have tried many options to try and anazlyze the best optimization for battery life out of my galaxy note 2 ..I noticed that when I was getting almost 2 days of battery life was when I had power saving mode enabled and I also had nova launcher installed but than I got to thinking that I wanted to give Touchwiz more of a chance because it is actually quite fluid and the animation is nice at 1x or .05x ...I was reading in threads that some users were not using power saving mode because it takes away from the beast of performance the note 2 possesses ...So my question is unlike other battery saving threads im not necessarily want pictures of your usage I want scenarios of what you ( the community of note 2 users) do to optimize and save battery life .... I will say that I am using cleanrom 3.5 I had 4.0.5 but I did not like that it took away some of the functions I liked ...So Ultimately I just want some advice on how to save battery life I have sync disabled and gps disabled but I keep google now enabled because its awesome ..I just need some advice and reccomendations please help im tired or buying apps that promise to save battery life only to find that they dont do much the most recent app I am trying and it sounds promising is DS Battery Saver and it seems promising because it actually turns off all background applications and wifi and data but wouldn't that do more harm than good to turn off background apps ,wifi and data ..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Agent:
Have you ever thought about buying a bigger battery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mindtrust1:
Yes I have considered but I feel that I would like to try and explore the current options available to me seeing so many positive posy by other members saying there getting lots of battery life just out of the box without upgrading the battery, the battery on this thing is huge ,3100 ma ...Are these people keeping power saving mode on to gain the extra battery difference because I do notice a huge improvment in battery life when I put it in power saving mode but im thinking the people that are getting two days of battery life out of there device do not have power saving mode enabled
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mindtrust1:
Not only that but I see screen time on some guys are at 8 hours screen time and still have like 50% battery or 6 hrs and have 68% battery thats insane ...I used my phone heavily today I had screen time on for about 6 hours and about two hours of phone calls and than alot of tweaking and trying options so restarting the phone drains the living crap out of this beast...So maybe ill try minimal use tomorrow and see what happens maybe ill see a difference I dont want to have to use ds battery saver most battery saving apps are crap claiming to help but in actually run in the background monitoring everything so it only enhances the battery draining issue or your phone will not go into deep sleep
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] purged363506:
I disabled haptic feedback. Keep the screen on auto.

Flashed perseus and am using a overclock/undervolt profile for stweaks from the thread that is here in general. There is a stweaks guide and stweaks profile thread if your interested.

Went through and froze or removed all startup and running services I didn't need. No sync apps that don't use push.

Anyway, that's what I did and get pretty good battery life.

Betterbatterystats isn't bloat either. It's pretty crucial if you want to troubleshoot power issues. I've used that as a reference for everything

In the end though, batteries are cheap. You can get 2 ankers and a charger for 20 on Amazon and they are great quality.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mindtrust1:
Yes I am definitely intrested in sweaks Ive never heard of it and as far as freezing apps no problem there I just am afraid that if I freeze apps like Google Maps than my Google Now will not properly work I dont snyc anything if I want to sync I do it manually but im not familiar with what you mean by push ? Also i feel to under skilled when it comes to freezing certain background apps like Google Maps I noticed alot or the bulk of my battery drain comes from Location settings I have most of my apps not location enabled but if I were to say freeze google maps wouldnt that effect how Google Now operates ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mindtrust1:
Also do you use a certain browser that uses less battery or is that a bit overboard I use mainly stock browser but I also have google chome because its fast and simple I use stock browser when I need to watch flash content and I use chrome when I want things simplified but I find myself using google chrome less and less I heard Opera makes a very nice simple browser ..What browser do you use most often for battery life or does it not matter much ...Oh and if you could possibly send me the link to stweaks I would greatly appreciate it ...

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ChaoticWeaponry:
You can get an app called juice defender. You can set it up to turn wifi/data/bluetooth/gps off when you turn the screen off. You can set schedules to sync emails and other apps every 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes.. I have the pro version so I can control my entire phone..

If location settings is draining your battery, turn GPS off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mindtrust1:
So do you also keep power saving mode on your note 2 enabled ? or do you keep that off ..Also is there a video tutorial on how to use Juice Defender properly because I never fully understood some of its features do you have just the basic juice defender, the plus or the ultimate im only asking because I want to know if having juice defender plus will do the trick or do i need the ultimate to take full advantage ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mindtrust1:
I only ask this because I already have juice defender plus on the note 2 but I have yet to use it on the note 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ChaoticWeaponry:
I leave my power saving off when I use my phone. Ultimate juice defender has all of the features you need. I don't know of any videos, but I know how to set it up, just ask your questions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mindtrust1:
Okay I'll give it a go so do you experience any battery drain in a 8 hour Window that's typically how long I sleep I was just curious Edgar percentage is lost within 8 hours with phone on deep sleep
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ChaoticWeaponry:
I lose a percent about every 3 hours. Maybe 4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mindtrust1:
Are you able to tailor jd to work for you during the day as well I already juice defender plus is that enough or would you say get the ultimate ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mindtrust1:
What I mean during the day is when you have your phone on (on screen time ) are you able to signifiicantly reduce your anount of battery drain
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mindtrust1:
Do you know if juice defender ultimate works with rooted galaxy note 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] CAPTainJRacine:
I use it. Works fine with root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mindtrust1:
Do you use the ultimate ? And also have you heard of ds battery saver alot like juice defenfer you can pick and choose which apps you want to run in the background I am only having a problem with network location locator but than I realized if I disable in location settingd wifi and data enabled than my accuweather touch wiiz widget does not update
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ChaoticWeaponry:
Apps running in the background don't use battery unless they sync a lot. You should be able to manually set location in weather apps.. and juice defender ultimate has the ability to set night schedules, control brightness, cpu, gps, network modes, etc. I have mine set up to sync apps every 30 minutes and then keep data and wifi off. You can also set traffic limits up too, so when the screen turns off, you can have data/wifi stay enabled if you are downloading something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mindtrust1:
If I am using the stock weather and time widget that comes on the galaxy note 2 is it a signifigant amount of battery saving if I have it set to just one location and if you dont mind me asking how do I set it up for it to be set to one lication also if I have weather showing on the lock screen with that use even more battery I mean if its running than it shouldnt effect it if I have it on lock screen and home screen...My last question is regarding location settings that seems to be my biggest battery drain. I like using google now but I noticed if I disable in location settings data and wifi I save a ton of battery life ...I was trying to figure out how to disable maybe certain apps that are tracking my location or if I should just disable wifi and data location but than google now doesnt perform properly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mindtrust1:
Whats your take on location settings do you keep that stuff enabled ? Also I im not really happy with allshare whenever I turn on my computer it recognizes my all share on my phone I dont think I like all share it seems to be a possible battery drain
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1ManWolfePack:
Your battery problems may be tied to your practice of observing battery drop when you're sleeping.

Try charging during that time instead. No issues here. Been doing it for years!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mindtrust1:
What do you mean? How do I try charging during that time instead you how do I go about that practice ...Are you spraking in regards to enabling betterbatterystats to run while charging ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1ManWolfePack:
You're saying (or maybe I read it that way) that you get battery drain overnight when you sleep, for 8 hours.

I'm saying charge your phone when you sleep, so it won't drain. When do you charge it? That's like universal charging time I thought...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mindtrust1:
Haha makes sense is it safe to keep the phone in the charger once it's fully charged like say I pas out to a fully charged phone I heard it's bad to let phone sit in charger after its fully charged but I'm sure that's what most people do ...I think I'm being ocd over my new device time to treat this like a phone and not obscess over battery life this phone last me sometimes two days on light use heavy use I get between 7 to 9 hours of on screen time depending on what I'm doing on my phone all in all I cannot complain about the Battery its still a beast ... Thanks for all the help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] neemo6:
Wow im able to get 2days+ on this phone w/ 4g, wifi, gps, haptic feedback, all turned on and this is with moderate to heavy use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mindtrust1:
Do you have a having power saving turned on and do you have a custom .... Also I can get 2 days also but do you keep your location settings turned on ....2 days off battery life means only about 3 to 4 hours using the phone maybe more depending on what apps you are using
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tfly212:
I toggle location on or off only when needed (similarly with BT, GPS and wifi)...unless its something you use all the time it can only hurt your battery to keep it running for no reason.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sir-Lancelot:
I guess I was just spoiled coming from the Galaxy Nexus where I had to keep a spare battery with me at all times even when I underclocked the crap out of it and still couldn't make it a whole day. Lol

I could GAF now, over clock keep everything enabled and use the heck out of it then just charge at nite. A whole day with 6+ hours screen on is just fine with me!!!!

I love the performance to battery life on this phone!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mindtrust1:
That's the way I'm staring to feel the only thing I'm tripping on now is if I want to keep keep sync on I get so many annoying emails but I wouldn't mind keeping some of my social apps udated my life has been rather slow lately so haven't had the need to keep sync on and as far as location setting I enable why not google now is an awesome key feature I like the card updates for weather and events and traffic I definitely know how to disable what's draining my battery and I will if I ever need to I use betterbatterystats with clean rom 3.5 so most boatware is off my phone ... planning on allshare pay unless I can figure out how to transfer movie files to the free 50 gb I have yet to learn how ... The little led notification light do you keep that enabled ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tfly212:
It's amazing how quickly we all got used to suddenly having great battery life. I came from the Droid Charge which got about 8 hours of life with 1 hour of screen time (always had that second battery with me). Now I average 30 hours with 5-6 hour of screen time on the note 2 and am still looking for ways to make it better even though I can't imagine needing to go more than 30 hours without a charge. Spoiled me very fast (and I bought a back up battery which I have still never used).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
I'm at 41 hours with 5.5 hours screen time with 10% left. I don't want better lol. On a stock rooted l4 rom. Nothing fancy and using Tsf launcher. Epic battery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
You mention tsf launcher in almost every post. You love that thing! It's nice I wish they would update ago I can get the static dock, but it is awesome
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
I waited a year to get it. It's really come a long way haha and yes I do LOVE IT. used it on 4shared then bought it. And i wish it had the static dock too! Ahh that would be epic
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
I so switch to our every now and then, but really waiting in the static and it'll be the only launcher I use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
Yeah I hear you. Static is going to be even more amazing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mindtrust1:
Okay better way to ask this question obviously if data and wifi are dusabled I get almost not battery drop but maybe 1to 3 % but what about when phone isc awake do what's your battery drop on wifi vs 4 glte I lose about a percent with screen on with just wifi every 10 to 12 minutes and on 4 g lte I lose a percent every 7 to 8 minutes more like 7 is that normal are you diabling any of of your location settings or google now to save battery or do you say screw it and not do all that just to save battery I like google now a whole lot but its def a battery all of that network location settings stuff is a battery drain because its constant y updating where you are and I guess there is no way around it unless I want to disable services that I use just save some battery life do you disable location settings at all like maps or google now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mindtrust1:
What's your on screen time after two days you can't be getting 8 to 9 hours that's impossible its gotta be close to about 5 maybe 6 hours right and at night do you disabke wifi and databor do you keep it on and still get two days
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mindtrust1:
Do you keep wifi and or data enabled at night to get 2 to 3 days or do you turn off wifi and data at night ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1ManWolfePack:
^take a breath, brotha.

Obsessing over battery life is like a rocking chair: gives you something to do but nowhere to go...

If it's that big of a concern to you, might I suggest the hybrid phenomenon known as "extended batteries". WARNING: you will have a turtle in a half-shell afterwards, aka Ford Festiva phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
Hahaha your comments always make me LOL haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mindtrust1:
Lmao!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
This phone has more than enough battery life on a charge. No need to purchase the Fiesta upgrade package.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mindtrust1:
Okay last question do you keep google now enabled and no thanks to the humpback battery im good off that ..if I disabled ceerain cards wont help with battery life because goodle will still track all the data its just a matter of keeping google now on or off because that is a significant juice saver ...so google now on or off on your phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spyderman09:
I leave google now on, but it depends on whether you would use it or not. I like having the various cards and reminders, etc. so I leave it on. You are right though, enabling/disabling individual cards won't do anything different to battery. Even with Google Now on though, I haven't found myself looking at my battery during the day.

What you can do though, is go into Latitude (Maps>Latitude>Locations Settings) and disable the share location history and "update from this device" options. Google Now will still detect your location, but if you're okay with not looking at where you were the last few days (Location History) I've found it saves a little bit of juice. I don't need to know I went to work and a happy hour yesterday.

I remember the humpback batteries - had one on my TBolt for about a week, but couldn't stand it. Humpbacks are for whales and bell-ringers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mindtrust1:
Thanks I've already got that covered but I love google now ill take the dip in battery I guess the point is the battery last all day sometimes two with about 5 to 6 hours on Screen time I'm happy no more ocd over battary did my investigating found out the guys getting for days battery were disabling alot of there features Ave constantly turning off wifi and data when not in use to much of a headache if you ask me im good thanks for all the help and the sense of humor I tend to ocd over new phones
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aiiakiik:
I have had my Kindle Fire for a week after bought from a friend, it had been installed CM10 ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1778010.

When i try to play some HD game with my KF, i try to install Chainfire 3D, after i install CF3D Driver (part of Chainfire 3D), my KF reboot then stuck at Kindle Fire welcome screen (white - orange kindle fire logo).

OMG, this my first times I’m using an android device, I try to plug the Kindle into the USB port on my Laptop (Windows 7) by Blackberry phone cable, it will only recognize the device in My Computer as a regular disk drive. An entry for "Removable Disk G:\" drive comes up, but when I click to open it, it says, "Please insert a disk into Removable Disk (G:\)". I copied a video to KF before it stuck.

After read a lot of threads, i know what i need to do is try to make my PC recognize KF device. I’ve tried install driver from KFU folder, Kindle Fire USB Driver and Google USB Driver from SDK Manager, rebooting the KF, unplugging/plugging it in each USB port, power off before plugging, rebooting the PC, etc.

I try to make a factory cable, nothing better (I think it just be useful if the PC can recognize KF device).

At Device Manager I have “Amazon File-CD Gadget USB Device” (when using factory cable, it will have “Unknown device” instead of “Amazon File-CD Gadget USB Device”). List of devices (Device Manager window) don’t have Kindle or Android Phone (when I try to add Android ADB Interface, Android Bootloader Interface, Android Composite ADB Interface by legacy hardware it have a yellow exclamation point)

At Devices and Printers, the properties of the Amazon Kindle Fire's hardware, it just list: Amazon File-CD Gadget USB Device and USB Mass Storage Device (don’t have Kindle, USB Composite Device as some Guide website).

Does anyone have any idea? I don’t think KF device can be bricked easily by install a driver that not compatible with ROM!

Hi.. I need help from all you guys.. :D

It started yesterday,when i am browsing in my phone with my connectify from my laptop because i didn't use packet data.. But suddenly,it disconnects itself.. It never happened before this,now my phone can't connect to my connectify hotspot.. But ironically,when i use my phone to connect into a Public WiFi for example : At hospital,shopping mall etc it just connects.. Is there anyone know how to fix my WiFi problem?? :confused:

Oyea,when i had the problem i was running on Stock Modified ROM with White 1.3 Kernel + WiFi Driver.. Even when i'm using Stock ROM,it still doesn't connect on my connectify hotspot.. :confused:

Edit : Problem Solved!!! Updating my connectify :D

[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] TheGoldrocker:
Hi guys,

I have an issue with my 8x. Most of the time when someone calls me, they can't hear the ringing tone, in the meanwhile I see/hear my phone ringing normally, but when I tap Answer, it stops ringing but doesn't engage into calling mode - nothing is heard neither on my side nor on their side. And recently (perhaps because of the HTC OTA update from Feb. 6th) whenever this happens, the phone crashes after pushing the 'Answer' button.

Similarly I get a lot of 'System Busy' errors when I try to call people, however this isn't as frequent, nor that frustrating.

I tried resetting the phone, removing, re-inserting my SIM card, updating the phone (this just seems to have made it worse). Did anyone else encounter such behavior?

Allright, I know Wugfresh Galaxy Nexus Root Toolkit works because I didn't have any problem rooting my Nexus 7, but when I try to unlock my Sprint Galaxy Nexus, it reboots into fastboot mode, then when it goes to checking fastboot status it can't find a fastboot device. I tried it in Android 4.1.1 and then in 4.2.1 with the same result. What am I doing wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chasew83:
i havent used wugfresh in a while bc i havent needed it but, is it updated to work with 4.2.1? you may want to try mskips toolbox, thats what i used last time and for my nexus 7, and see if you have better results if you dont just want to use adb and do it manually.
