[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Product F(RED):
Using stock kernel on Vision NX 3 ROM (basically a minimally tweaked and debloated stock ROM), I can get 4-5 hours screen on time at least. After 1 hour SOT, I'm at like 80-85% battery, which to me is great. I wiped everything (except microSD card obviously) before I flashed.

The only thing pissing me off about this phone (came from an S4) is the wake-up lag. I press the power button. It takes 2-3 seconds for the screen to come on. I read it might be a microSD card issue, but even without the card in, it still does this. Tried lean kernel 2.3 as well. Same thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dkb218:
I really didn't want to flash a custom kernel because of problems I ran into in the pass with my Note 2. Installed the Stock Compulsion Kernel 11 a couple of hours ago and that battery stat went from 5-6 hours to 23 hours. I'll give it a couple of days to see where it goes but so far so good.

Is the rom causing your wake up lag? If you're getting that kind of battery life, I'd gladly wait a couple of seconds for it to wake.

I was in Florida a couple of weeks ago. Spent 6 hours at Universal Studios. Got there with 100% battery charge. 30 pictures and maybe 10 videos and my battery was down to 25% - in less than 4 hours. Hoping this kernel helps.

A little update: This kernel has so far vastly improved my battery usage. Almost 4 hours. An hour and a half of on screen time with Google maps and GPS running. At 70%. Still have to condition my phone to get full use of the kernel.

Try removing those active apps you don't use at all and also bloatwares
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Product F(RED):
I do that on every Samsung phone I get. Still doing it :/ Might just be the ROM I'm using.

Yeah, I make sure my phone is clean. The only bloat I have on there is T-Mobile Visual Voicemail and T-Mobile My Account, which I use.

Mine with 6400 battery. Forgot what brand. Definetly worth the cost. Like 30 bux. 6 hours screen on time almost, with 49 percent left, thats 12 hours screen on time, shows also I use my phone and not just letting it sit on a table to get good times, edit: called hyperion battery ...definetly worth it. Get one, doesnt add too much bulk and the bulk it does add makes it EASIER to hold.

Wow! nice battery life! Can you tell us the brand?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] JJ2525:
Those of you with great OST, I know some had said they were using auto brightness...Do you slide the adjustment slider lower than 50%? I did mine (I'd estimate to like 40% or so), don't notice a difference in the screen and my battery life is much better.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ZDeuce2:

Try lean kernels (default settings) and greenify apps thay you dont want to be running in background.

Also freeze/turn off useless samsung apps like samsung link, group play, samsung backup etc etc. that you dont use.

I easily get 7-8 hours screen on time with 1-2 days standby by just doing that.

If you guys have been getting a huge battery hit in the past few days, downgrade Hangouts (from 2.1 to 2.0). There's a bug in it that makes it use like 40% of your phone's battery, no exaggeration. Google "Hangouts 2.1 battery drain". Google's working on a fix.

Hi is that a rom or a personal mod?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] icenight89:
Not so impressed, data disabled and selective WiFi, you might even have it set to edge 2g.

Using the phone constantly non stop with 6 emails constantly syncing, social media running background and texting/gaming all day with > 5 hours on screen, that's impressive.

Granted, we all use phones differently, but these are kind of misleading to the average Joe, no?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Shadow_God:
Lmao.....OK if you say so....

I could get around 5 hours screen on time on the S2 with heavy usage...so no 5 hours screen on time isn't that impressive

As long as you know what drains battery fully and your wakelocks you can push out way more than 5 hours screen on....

Plus in those screen I was testing how long I can push the battery with how much screen time I can get from the stock battery while still using the phone as daily use....

I can leave my phone unplugged all night and wake-up with the battery at where it was when I go to sleep and never using airplane mode...not a single wake-up

At the end of the day, you control your phone and battery life.....

This is all true my friend. Granted, "heavy usage" is also subject a term that many people throw out and overuse.

6 emails on sync, WhatsApp, bbm, background syncing for contacts, Facebook, SMS and gaming? That's heavy usage in my opinion.

At the end of the day its a phone and we use it, so props to you for squeezing the life out. Just wanted to make it clear to others that that life expectancy won't be reached by most.

I've been getting on average 4 hours of battery life per full charged.

I've tried flashing various ROMs and kernels in an effort to increase my battery life for months. Also, I used Greenify and wakelock terminator.

I didn't notice much of a difference. The best result came from flashing SlimKat with LeanKernel. That combo added an additional 30 minutes to my battery life. But, I needed wifi-calling and bettery camera, so I quickly switched back to TW roms.

Anyways, I was at Best Buy with some store credit over the weekend. Out of impulse, I bought a replacement battery there. Charged it up fully, and have been getting 6-7 hours battery life on average.

Basically, I've learned that getting a new battery is sometime the best course of action.

There are a lot of things you can do to improve those numbers too. turn off sync and location services unless needed helps a ton...

I used to, in standby, get AT LEAST 26 hours. now I have not gone above 14. My onscreen time dipped as well from 7+ to 5. This is a direct result of the kit kat update. I am not rooted so i have no clue as to what the problem is. And since i am not rooted i can not uninstall some of the system apps that i see being the cause of some of the problems others are reporting. I really shold have left well enough alone.

If media server is causing a wakelock, you either have a corrupt media database (wipe data for Media), or there are corrupt file(s) on the internal or external storage which causes the media scanner to lock up.

I've had this phone for a month and the battery life was great until about a week ago. The battery would drop 20% after sitting on a table for 5 hours unused. That is unacceptable. I decided to install Juice Defender to automatically turn off 4G and WiFi when the phone is off or if I'm not at home or work. This worked great. Stock, unrooted, and nothing frozen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cuezaireekaa:
This makes a big difference. I use Smart Network in the play store but it does the exact same thing.

If people can go without data updates until the screen is on, then this will indeed get more juice out of the device.

But some folks need to be alerted and need GPS or location on for many reasons ( always a plus when we can use our smart phone the way it's intended) so for those people I would suggest amplify.

[Mod][Xposed] Amplify - Battery Extender - Control alarms, services, and wakelocks

Amplify puts you in control of how your device uses your battery by controlling how often your device can wake up, and how long it can stay awake. Use the recommended settings for easy battery saving......

It doesn't "greenify" or hibernate any apps. (Although greenify is a great app in its own right, amplify does something completely different.) It just doesn't allow them to hold wake locks.

Makes a big difference while idle and keeping all toggles/options on I've noticed over the last week testing.

Although I tend to do the former with Smart Network and shut off data till I say. More battery.

Hey Google services is eating your battery. Have you read any tips about stopping this?

If not I suggest if you are rooted you use titanium backup and convert it Google services into a user app then use the greenify app in the play store to greenify it.

The application basically makes it to where Google won't wake up your device unless you open the app. I suggest greenifying maps and any other apps that keep your phone awake. Your battery life will improve significantly.

It does void but there are workarounds to claim warranty. Like making it unable to turn on at all on purpose. Lol if they can't turn it on they can't tell if it's void or not.
