[Galaxy Note 3 Neo General] Samavb:
Excellent Battery life! 9hours 50min SOT in 2d11h (60hours)

Yes! it is possible to get 10hours battery with this beast.

I was able to achieve 9 hours 50 mins of Screen on Time in 2 days and 11 hours (60 hours appx)

The other day I was going through battery threads of LG G3 and Note 3 Neo battery threads.

I was in awe to see 8hours+ SOT in Note 3 Neo here in this thread and also in LG G3

2 weeks before I was getting somewhere close to 5 to 6 hours or sometimes 6 hours 30 min SOT in 5 days/7days.

After doing some tweaks I am easily passing SOT of 8hours in last two weeks.

Omorofos came up with a wonderful thread check the below link.

http://xdaforums.com/note-3-neo/general/battery-performance-boosting-rooting-t2858840

From this thread I used Hibernate app which is extremely useful for anyone who is not rooted.

Along with that he has mentioned few other very useful apps.

I found hibernate app extremely useful and All in one tool box (Very good alternative to Startup manager)

Using Hibernate app I have hibernated all the user apps and some system apps.

List of all Hibernated apps

And after doing all the above result is Awesome!

I was little sad that I couldn't afford LG G3 which is so expensive but after seeing performance in last three months or so I am extremely satisfied and happy like many of you guys here.

I have attached some screenshots.

All the above settings and 2 apps (Hibernate & Startup Manager) is all that is required to get an excellent battery life on this device without root.

Both are free and can be downloaded from playstore

And Don't clear RAM

Leave the RAM alone.

Only remove the recent apps once you finished using device before the screen is off

Do NOT hibernate your launcher ( I know you guys know it but still worth mentioning)

Check if any application is having "sync" setting or similar option and uncheck if it isn't.
