Ok. Now that I've had a chance to see the rom in action I can say there have been some improvements in battery life, data speed, data connection stabilization, and signal strength.

4G.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Product F(RED):
Hopefully this solves my LTE issue. My neighborhood has LTE in most of it (~90% according to T-Mobile), and it worked fine. But lately out of nowhere, I've had to put the phone into 4G/3G/2G-only mode because when it connects to LTE, there's LTE icon and there's no data connection. Turning off LTE fixes it by forcing it back to HSPA+. But it's annoying. I didn't change anything.

I've noticed that after I do a reboot, it takes about 2 to 5 minutes for me to regain data. Definitely didn't do this before the update. Anybody else in this behavior?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] scottPilgrim:
20 hours is terrible. Just on standby. This is a 3100mAh battery if you are losing that kind of battery life on standby something is wrong.

And its not that hard to know... You let your device sit over night for 8 hours.... It drops 40%. Pretty basic math.

On standby... You should lose less than 1% an hour with this device. Anything more than that is terrible.

EDIT*** just to give you an idea of what your battery life should be - right now i am sitting at 77%, with 1 hour and 24 minutes screen on time, and i have been off the charger for 5 hours and 23 minutes

you are saying it draining that fast without you even touching it is "still good" ... no, it's terrible.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JaguarXT:
When it deals with battery life issues that has always been a difficult subject. Sometimes the issue is in the radio signals, radio firmware (modem) problems, radio signals being blocked, hardware problems with radios, and the radios types themselves (WiFi, 3G, 4G/LTE). Sometimes caused by hardware like 1080 resolution screen, etc.. Other times it is the processes running in the background. When it comes to dealing with background processes that brings wars in forums (guaranteed). So I can't talk about that in the forums.

What I can say is that Galaxy Note 2 hardware itself is wonderful to the batteries. 720 resolution screen (instead of 1080), large capacity, etc... gives Galaxy Note 2 hardware good fighting chance against battery issues. So it is not the Galaxy Note 2 hardware causing battery issues. So it has to be firmware, ROM, radio issues, Android OS, or background processes from apps, firmware, and OS.

I told you that this is a difficult subject. And I am only touching the surface of this subject.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dkb218:
Do tell? What exactly is "bro knowledge"? Please share...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] scottPilgrim:
Read Ronnie's post about "pretty good" battery life, my response, then him making a weak attempt at an insult after looking like a moron making that kind of claim.

You are totally going to dismiss a 5%/hr battery depletion to background apps and processes when other people (heavy users) are posting the type of battery statistics I did? Umm. No. Sorry but that kind of claim that "oh that's still pretty good" is terrible advise from somebody who just flat out doesn't care to give an appropriate analysis of the situation the user just claimed to be in, or he just doesn't care. Or simply doesn't have the slightest clue what he is talking about.

Battery life is subjective, yes. But its pretty damn easy and doesn't take a rocket scientist to see when yours is draining abnormally.

That's all I have to say about the matter. Ronnie, rather than revert to insults, should take a step back and think that maybe... Just maybe... The other guy knows just a tad bit more about the subject, especially since hard data/evidence can easily be provided to show this.

Unbelievable, truly, the level of intelligence.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JaguarXT:
Much, much, much more than 5% of battery depletion life goes into background processes sometimes. Seriously.

Yes, hardware like screen being on, radios, etc. uses some amount of battery life. I am not saying that hardware doesn't do that. But you and others would be completely surprise how much battery life per charge you can gain back in dealing with background processes.

I can go on and give howtos, but talking about dealing with background processes causes flaming wars in forums. So I won't talk about howto manage background processes here.

And by the way I am JaguarXT, not Ronnie. Thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] scottPilgrim:
Bro, seriously what are you even talking about?

User claimed 5% battery depletion without touching the device, over ONE HOUR'S time. That is abnormal. I don't care what you argument or justification is, that is not normal. This isn't 2010. He isn't using a droid Eris. These are extremely power efficient devices while on standby. I have GPS on always, background data on and get mediocre radio reception at my house and I lose about 1% and hour. Unless you are streaming Pandora radio while "not touching your phone" and you are losing that much, you have a serious system wake lock / bug

And his calculations of 5% an hour = 20 hours battery life is completely inaccurate as well. Battery depletion of a lithium ion battery is exponential - curved. As it drains more, it drains faster.

You don't need to explain the technical to me about how batteries work or how this variable or that variable is maybe coming into play because I'm an engineer. So I get it perfectly fine. And I'm telling you that user posted horrendous battery life statistics and he needs to address them.

So to that user, filter out the bs you were fed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JaguarXT:
But it is not that easy in finding out what the actual cause of that actual abnormal draining of a battery in a device. And it is harder than just flip of a switch to fix the abnormal draining of a battery in a device.

You sounding like the pot calling the kettle black.

Again if I wouldn't get flamed with war here I would give howtos. But I won't, because of the flaming war it would cause.

---------- Post added at 02:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------

I have seen and dealt (fixed) with that problem. And yes, it was the background processes that caused the battery drain problem. But I also seen that kind of drain when the cellular signal was weak in the area that the user was around.

But instead of calling someone's idea of the cause "full of sh**" (Especially when that user has no way of getting the device in their hands. So that user is just shooting in as much dark as everyone else, including you, is.), you could give an idea of your own. But instead of helping you just call someone "full of sh**". That is why I call you "pot calling the kettle black".

And by the way your theory is flawed and incorrect. Apps are known to use background processes to pull/push, checkup, check in, etc... As well as it is apps/firmware/OS that run and manage hardware with background processes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] scottPilgrim:
It’s actually very easy.

You have a nice little graph built into android that tells you what has been depleting you battery, you also have common sense “Am I in a bad signal area??? Am a running a meellion background tasks?? No? oh well then why is my battery getting sucked the hell up??? Hmmmm… oh well Ronnie and Jaguar said its normal, and too difficult to figure out.”

Wrong. It’s extremely easy.

I am sounding like the pot calling the kettle black yet I am the one posting statistical evidence as somebody who is a heavy user and getting WAY better battery life than that?

As far as wake locks go, you obviously have no clue what you are talking about either, or have any kind of compass around Android/Linux. If you are too lazy to do this:

$ dumpsys power

***holy crap look it’s a list of all my wake locks!!!.

Amazing concept huh? That somewhere between your brain, some logic, common sense and that processor and “radio firmware” eating up all your battery that you can actually retrieve your own data and not have debates over hard evidence with your bro knowledge.

Or you can be lazy and download apps like betterbatterystats and cpu spy to see if your device is properly hibernating the way it should.

You are seriously missing the point entirely. Bottom line, 5%.... TERRIBLE... if you charge it fully, set it down, pick it up just 1 hour later. I'm not buying your BS. And I call it that because that's what it is.

Again, not that hard to figure out…. For some of us…
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JaguarXT:
The battery graph in Jelly Bean doesn't tell you the whole story. App like "GSam Battery Monitor Pro" will tell you what Jelly Bean's battery graph doesn't. BTW - Manufactures can control what Jelly Bean Battery graph tells you and doesn't tell you, like HTC One. But even with an app like "GSam Battery Monitor Pro" won't show all the processes running in the background that is draining the battery. But at least you are more informed with an app like "GSam Battery Monitor Pro".

Sometimes the signal graph will tell you what is up and sometimes not. Like if you get bad data services area , but your device (if setup right), may only want to use the 2G/3G radio for checking text messages and calls. You can look and see bad service, but not draining your battery, because your device is not using data service. But if you have background processes that is demanding info back and forth on data services then your battery will drain.

FYI - 2G/3G radio and 4G/LTE radio are separate radios and with separate antennas.

FYI - I don't notice any difference in battery drainage in between charges from before the update to after the update. But I am not ruling that as the possible problem out, just as an observation. Meaning that I am not calling what the problem is. After all I am not there with the device to troubleshoot the problem. All I am saying is that background processes is as much of a valid possible cause or part of the cause of battery draining quickly as a bad modem, firmware, rom, hardware, etc...

I am not and what I am saying is not BS. It is called experience. Try it sometime.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] scottPilgrim:
That entire post and that is the only thing you have to comment on? How the battery graph works? Wow dude. lol

So back to your comment about it being difficult to tell what is causing excessive battery drain...

Go ahead I'll wait.

Oh and also if you don't mind, you should try commenting again on RonnieRuffs idea that 5% an hour is pretty good when not using the device.

Also, you should talk about his complex mathematical equation of 5% an hour = 20 hours of standby. You should read up on lithium ion batteries before you do that, however.

Mind boggling dodging and ducking guys. Try throwing some actual knowledge into your replies.

Ronnie, you are a tool.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JaguarXT:
At this point I being silly responding to your post right now. But here to is.

Reread my post. More in that post than the JB Battery graph.

I guess you never heard of apps running in the background pulling/pushing, checking in with their servers, etc. Several of those apps was updated recently because of the battery drain they cause running in the background.

I guess you never heard that the firmware/OS/apps that run the hardware runs background processes in order to run the hardware.

Just because your device is not being used doesn't mean nothing is happening in your device. The only time nothing is happening with your device is when its power is completely turned off.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] scottPilgrim:
Again. Missing the point. You are a real piece of work.

"I guess you never heard of apps bro. Derrrp"

I understand how Android/Linux works. You don't need to explain it to me.

What started this whole thing was a ridiculous and unintelligent remark by Ronnieruff saying that 5% an hour was "still pretty good" battery or whatever his bogus claim was.

So go back and reread my posts.

What's silly is the two of you on these forums, posting bro knowledge / Wikipedia knowledge.

I don't buy your bs either. You are just somebody who likes to argue. Not somebody who has any real knowledge.

***edit... And I see you lurking Ronnie... Your comment was still moronic despite what your ebuddy here says.
