Mine usually spends around 30% battery for 2 hours of browsing using Chrome and Play Newsstand on LTE/3G. No video playing.

Extrapolating, that's about 6 hours battery life. I expected a bit more since the reviewers got 8-9 hours battery life with WiFi.

I still get similar battery life after flashing CM11.

You already tried greenify and wanam exposed ? That app and two modules makes my 8.4 a crazy beast ;)

Reduced battery consuming, thanks to greenify

And beast mode, thanks to option in wanam exposed where you can enable benchmarking boost ;)

Also don't forget to use boost mode in greenify also to make it perfect :)

No Rooted w/ Tweaks

My tablet is non-rooted.

Before tweeks:

It started out averaging 4 to 5 hours of usage with these settings: Power save mode on (screen only), screen brightness 15 to 20%, recharge when at around 25% level, no widgets running. Usage: Web browsing, Youtube, Sportify, eBooks, Malwarebytes running.

After tweeks:

After reading other forums and suggestions, I performed the followings and the usage time went to 8+ hours.

Power save mode on (screen only), screen brightness 15 to 20%, recharge when at around 15% level, no widgets running, turned off non-use Samsung apps, installed Greenify and GSam Battery Monitor, runs Google Now Launcher. Usage: Web browsing, Youtube, Sportify, eBooks;, Malwarebytes running.

What I have noticed, anytime an Amazon app is opened, it turns on all the other installed Amazon apps, running in the background. Facebook will invoke with other programs too. Greenify seems to do a good job hibernating them, preventing them from running when not in use. Of course, I have to manually run it every time when not use.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] HKSpeed:
I put my tablet on airplane mode when i'm not going to use it for several hours. I go 3-4 days between charges. Greenify and wakelock detector helps on my rooted phone, but my Tab Pro 8.4 is still stock. I don't think the Magazine UI uses much battery since I set it up to manually refresh only when open a tile.

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] rchtk:
If putting in airplane mode when the tab is idle makes a different then you have a problematic app.. In idle I get more than a week on my 10.1. I expect the same or at least a few days on any device.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] favero_:
I get absurdly better battery life when in power save mode(specially talking about screen-off time.

Once I got 10 days with one charge, and about 5 or 6 screen on time (but mostly wifi off).

No idea why..
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] jazzespresso:
Greenify and wakelock detector is killer combination of the apps to identify battery drain apps and putting them on hibernate. I strongly recommend any android tablet users to use this two. You will be amazed how much battery you will be saving.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] Stuart Little:
Thanks I'm used greenify and better battery stats to detect wakelocks and disable the using xposed.

I don't do that anymore, I'm happy with the 8.4 it's perfect and I don't feel it to improve the battery anymore.

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] Mave025:
I'm really disappointed in the battery life. The reviews were saying around 9 hours mixed use or video playback, but I'm getting just under 5 hours screen time. I use it at about half the time for reading news and the other half is playing games, this is at 20% brightness. I'm not a big gamer just recently been trying out Two Dots and 1010 to waste some time and play with my new toy. Those games are puzzle games and I figured wouldn't use up as much battery as normal games. So I thought it should be lasting a lot longer.

I'm on stock, not rooted and running greenify but wake lock detector says it needs root to run in KK. I'm trying Nova Launcher now to see if that'll make a difference. Mostly because I don't want to factory reset if I don't have to, because I hate having to reinstall all my apps again and setup my home screens. That's also why I haven't rooted because I figure in 3-4 months we'll get the Lollipop update.

You may be able to get more battery life if you reseat your battery: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-tab-pro-12-10-8/general/reseating-battery-wonder-battery-life-t2944610

I was personally able to go from 7-ish hours to 10,5 hours. Also, try lowering your screen brightness. The percentage your screen uses in your battery-log is nearly double what my screen uses.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] Mave025:
Thanks I was looking at that thread but just seems so risky. I've never disassembled a mobile device and I saw someone snapped a clip or one person's IR blaster wasn't right after he did it. I think I'll try to exhaust all of the software fixes first before attempting to open it up. If my battery life isn't typical I wonder if I can just try exchanging it to get one that wouldn't need to be reseated.

Hi my Samsung Galaxy tab pro drops battery from 40 to 1 percent in around half an hour

When I plug it in however it has like 39 Percent left, I have reset the tablet and nothing is running in the background, what should I do and would I be able to return it?

Hi guys!

I'm interested in TAB PRO 8.4...

What can you say to me about battery when you're playing a continuous game? (like Clash of clans, fifa15, etc)

If I understood, you can get close than 7h of sot in general and continuous use...but i'm afraid that battery will drain too much fast when we're playing... (It's possible get 3/4h SOT playing)

Thanks in advance,

Best regards
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] lordnihilusmd:
Bought S Tab 8.4 2 days ago

I get about 5 hrs of screen time. TouchWiz Home drains a lot of battery (25%+) and if this can be fixed we can get up to 6-7 without problems.

Update: After the first 2 days the battery life is not bad ...

If I use MX player only, the on-screen time can be 10 hours
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] Sicron:
Isn't that the Tab S? I heard the AMOLed screen draws a lot more power than the Tab Pro does.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Sorta. Samsung added a tad bigger battery to even out the amoled. So it should alsmost have the same battery life as tab pro. Heres from my Tab S 10.5 wifi runing cm12 on 1/4 brightness since amoled is tad brighter than led. I just watched youtube the whole day
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] lordnihilusmd:
Yes it is the tab s 8.4 exynos variant. Actually AMOLED displays draw less power and are much more reliable than ordinary LED displays. They never suffer from light bleeding and have true black color and a very high contrast. If you use black themes / backgrounds you can save a lot of battery on amoleds.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] Sicron:
I know, that's why you can get great battery life while watching video's (many black parts), but with website surfing the AMOLED suffers because whites (which many websites are) actually drains the battery more than a conventional LCD panel.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] hundred_miles_high:
Under general light to medium use (no gaming) I can easily get 7 - 8 hours SOT, and have had as much as 10 hours SOT under light use (web browsing, kindle etc). When running graphically intensive games SOT can drop as low as 4 hours give or take.

In deep sleep with wi-fi on permanently and apps like email, weather, ebay etc syncing in the background the battery use is normally around 0.5% per hour.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] chodaboy19:
I found this to be my case as well. As long as I don't game the battery lasts 8-10hrs. If I play games then maybe 3-4hrs.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] zAo_:
Same here, but the deep-sleep battery life is what bothers me most: my iPad 2 does 1 month with Wifi on..
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] dante`afk:
how long does your 8.4 tab need to charge to 100%?

I am still wondering if my tab is broken or it is because of CM12.

I need about 4 hours to charge to 100% and battery life is horrendous bad imo.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] Jakeuten:
just an example of my battery life.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] IsTI37:
3 days and 15 hours with wifi on and tablet mostly sleeping (only a few calls and an occasional flipboard while sitting on the throne). I always use the auto setting for the screen.

When gaming about 3 to 5 hours depending on the game. With Hearthstone, PvZ 2, Defenders I go from 100% to 10% in about one and a half, two hours.

With light games such as Leo's Fortune, Crossy Road, Fruit Ninja, Badland, Crossy Road, Minion Rush I get about 4 to 5 hours of battery time.

I can get 8 hours of constant reading with Moon+ Reader with low brightness.

I think the maximum one can get with some light use is 5 days with wifi off (or updates disabled, because wifi itself doesn't use more than 2% of power in standby if there are no updates made) and screen on auto -5 + battery saving mode.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] no1weber:
In my case it helped too. Weird thing is that I reset my battery when it was 5%. Right after I switch it on it was 36% charged. Looks like 31% of the battery haven't been used since I rooted and installed cm11 for the first time.

Now I'm running cm12 and battery life is great.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] sn3pro:

Then what is the best battery wise rom available now? CM12? RESURRECTION ? Euphoria? CrDroid?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] SoberDogs:
Just to clarify: you are getting 11 SoT and 29 hour total with one charge with the latest CM? Holy frak that's awesome. What were you getting before? Maybe, your device is an anomaly of some kind because many others have said that they get 5h~ SoT. Personally, I'm usually around the 7h mark with low brightness, while I'm reading on Chrome/Moon.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] Andy4Shurr:
I haven't had my Tab Pro 8.4 long but so far I have tried Stock Touchwizz (obviously), CM12.1, RR, Euphoria and Revolution 1.1 (I have just installed this last night). Up until last night I found stock touchwizz to be better on battery but as Revolution 1.1 is based on stock but heavily debloated I think this one is just shading it in terms of battery performance.

When I first installed Resurrection Remix and Euphoria my battery seemed to drain pretty quick but after tweaking the governor it seemed to help a bit, although still not as good as stock. Strangely, the CM12.1 nightly I installed seemed to be a bit better on battery than Euphoria or RR but it may be because it was a later developed nightly (one of last weeks I think). It's a shame because I loved the CM12.1 lollipop interface but battery is quite important to me so it had to go. Hopefully battery performance will keep improving, possibly more when we officially get lollipop on our tabs.

So far I'm happy with Revolution 1.1, I think I'll be sticking with that for the time being :good:
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] chrisfsk:
I am using the latest Resurrection Remix rom now and I am having around 3 to 4 hours of SOT from the normal usage with good brightness but no heavy gaming. Kind of disappointed compare with the stock. How about you?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] Andy4Shurr:
My brightness is quite low, it always is on stock rom. I spent most of yesterday setting up my home screen, apps (downloading a lot) and playing games for quite a while in the evening... so quite heavy usage. Now I have everything set up I'm hoping to get a lot more SOT.

From yesterday's readings I'm getting 5 hours SOT under that heavy use. On stock, before, I was getting 6/7 depending on usage... So i expect this to be similar if not marginally better. In powersaving mode without gaming I could probably push 8 hours - that's my estimates but I'll keep you updates with readings :)
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] sn3pro:
Yes on stock I was getting 6-8 hrs, cm boosted it 3+hrs at least...

I bought a factory refurbished tab pro 8.4 from Amazon for a week now and the battery life has been great. Tablet is stock with the latest updates from samsung. I do have the Power Saving mode enabled and screen brightness at about 40-45% with auto brightness off. I mostly use the tablet to watch Youtube/Netflix/Crunchyroll (I say about a solid 2-3 hours a day) and usually only have to charge it ever 2.5-3 days. I've been pretty happy with the battery life on this tablet.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] vicb1:
very very disappointing. mine was like 2 hours 100% to 0. wtf samsung!
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] Sicron:
This is most likely a rogue app, perhaps some game you have installed that keeps running in the background? With gaming, you should generally get 5-6 hours of SOT. If you keep it to light usage, browsing and low screen brightness, you should nudge 10 hours.

as far as multitasking goes (at least for my part), side app bars (aokp) + floating windows (pa) are enough. your idea might be ideal for others, but having another clutter in the screen estate (depending on screen size that is) is too much for most users. that's why pie and immersive/expanded desktop mode was was created. to maximize screen estate. but that's just me.

p.s. your idea above might be close enough on aokp (ribbons on navbar) but that only works on pinned apps there

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] {Diemex}:
I am a student and use a note 10.1 and a note pro 12.2 for note taking. I use both tablets on a daily basis for several hours during class and at home. For note taking I mainly use LectureNotes and for pdf viewing I use the only good pdf viewer ebookdroid. I don't use any paper whatsoever.

I am getting increasingly frustrated with my setup, I have the feeling that it is holding me back and my workflow is not fluid/natural. I am mainly getting frustrated with LectureNotes and switching back and forth between lecturenotes for editing and ebookdroid for plain reading.

While LectureNotes is a great app, there are a few things that are really frustrating:

Pdfs get dumbed down into pictures/bitmaps: Loss of searchability, export of pdfs is images only, loss of table of contents, links and everything that makes pdf cool

Pdf import takes long because it has to render everything into images, import is not in background, i have to sit there and do nothing until its finished

Huge memory consumption. I have even increased my max memory per app to 768mb per app to avoid crashes.

Everything is in images

Large memory consumption

I write in portrait, if I rotate the device it gets pixelated

If I get a tablet with a different/higher resolution my previous notes are going to look bad

Menus are text only, takes long to find something. Ln has so many features, but I dont really want to bother to find them in all the menus

UI is in general slow and sluggish

notebook overview is slow

inserting a page can take a while

cant have multiple documents open in tabs (app would run out of memory anyways :P...)

opening and closing of documents isn't instant

Ebookdroid is the perfect pdf viewer for me, it has tabs, lots of customization and is very fast. It just cant annotate pdfs.

Basically I am looking for a note taking app with the following feature set:

Simply fast and responsive

Based on vector graphics which will scale to any resolution

Instant pdf import and merging of notes taken in the application back into the pdf

Read only pdf viewing, so I dont have to switch to a pdf viewer just for viewing of pdfs

Navigating a document of several hundred pages should be easy and intuitive

Decent table of contents

quick/responsive overview with thumbnails

Multi device synchronous editing of documents. I don't want to have to wait 10 minutes for dropsync to synchronize my notes. (Specific to me)

Simple way to view documents on pc. Some tasks like creation of a table of contents, reording of pages and things that are quicker and easier with a mouse and keyboard can be done on a desktop client.

Can have multiple documents open at the same time

App in general should be user friendly and fun to use.

I have programmed in java and android before. I'm considering spending my holiday on writing a notetaking app. Atm I'm still evaluating the libraries, file formats, if I can pull it off, the time I will roughly need and if it's worth my time at all. The app will ofc be open source.

Is there any interest in a better note taking application or is it just me?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Freakstyler:
I don't believe there is an all in one solution that will do all you that you require in a single app.

But some basic suggestions.

I think Papyrus offers a lot of what your asking in the Note taking department, it's fast, vector based and has PDF import, I prefer 'Write' which is similar, but doesn't support .pdf. Perhaps you could send a message to some of the developers asking for some improvements, or features as they are often quite responsive.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steadfastinnovation.android.projectpapyrus

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.styluslabs.write

You could also run two apps like Papyrus for notes and Ebookdroid or EzPDF for annotation in multiwindow mode as a workaround.

In terms of developing.

The new Android 'L' release apparently now has included a native PDF API function, so more apps will soon add PDF support I would imagine.

"New api class: PdfRenderer

This class enables rendering a PDF document. This class is not thread safe.

If you want to render a PDF, you create a renderer and for every page you want to render, you open the page, render it, and close the page. After you are done with rendering, you close the renderer. After the renderer is closed it should not be used anymore. Note that the pages are rendered one by one, i.e. you can have only a single page opened at any given time."

If you are serious about developing your own solution, perhaps check out the development of the open source Omni Notes, the code is already available, it's a simple but has a lot of potential the betas already have sketch mode implemented for notetaking with Spen, they could likely do with some other developer support for advanced functionality. Perhaps check with the dev in the Omni Notes thread.

I think Papyrus would handle things like you want it!

It has PDF Import with noteability and Vektor based Drawing

But what I'm Missing are the Drawing features of LectureNotes like Diagrams, Arrows and so on... they are very basic in Papyrus!

Would be awesome if you decide to work on such a program!

I'm also a student who uses his Note 10.1 for notetaking!

If you want a tester, it would be cool if I can help you!

My Java is very basic, so in programming i wouldn't be a huge help. But studiyng the source code would be fun^^
