Note 2 battery life

[i1magic]

To be fair, it takes a while

More importantly, after the tweaks your phone should be in deep sleep most of the time when you are not using it...

Otherwise, you may still have apps or processes keeping your phone awake - just look at the awake versus screen in the battery chart for clues - especially if you see large chunks of awake when the screen is off...hahah

My Note 2 build is : JRO03C.N7105XXA "LIJ". But most of you are on "LJ5" right?

Not bad.. used internet facebook and play games all the way for 2hrs. Drop about 20%

Play games for 2hrs = Screen on for 2hrs also right? And only 20% battery depleted? That is very good.

I reverted back to LIJ - less of a drain on battery life for me vs LJ5

 

[ChaoAhGua]

What's the diffence between LIJ and LJ5?

I don't know what is stopping my Note 2 from going into deep sleep.

Sometimes rebooting the phone will help.

BetterBatteryStats is a better app for battery monitoring.

Get it on xda forums.

Check using betterbatterystats or system panel

I suspect bloatware and auto sync

To monitor - I suggest offing your data connection for an hour and see if there is any drop in battery...

If got no drop, then it's likely apps that are constantly accessing the web that are causing the drain...

Sometimes it is the ads that are the culprit - then you need to use droidwall or adaway etc to either restrict access or stop the ads

Anyone know how to revert back to mobile view on a default browser?

OMG ... this morning wake up .... the "Android OS" shows 4h22m (Stay Awake) which takes up 31% of total battery power!!

You didnt off most of your things when you sleeping?

 

[ChaoAhGua]

On a average moderate usage working day, at the end of the day.. my phone will have about 30-40%

What do you guys do?

Charge it overnight or what? because if i don't i'm sure the battery will be dead by 2nd day afternoon..

Yup, you have a lot of apps running in the background...

I always use System Panel to end all the task I don't need...hahah

Heck, I even end inactive and background apps sometimes

My current battery is 80% after 9.5 hours with 1.5 hours of screen time

Just keep it charged whenever possible!

Mine is around 70% after 8hours with 2.5hours of screen time

I think i read at somewhere before, they mentioned it's better to only charge your phone when it's 5%-15%?

What can be turned off? BT only right? What else?

 

[carey]

Apps should be your main focus bah...

Besides BT, GPS also needs to be turned off...

And if you tweak the settings correctly, you should see your batt graph show a flat line whenever the screen is off

Nope doesn't apply to the new batteries which use a different technology, Google around.

I off 3G, only use data plan when i'm outside. Off all brightness, Sometimes even off sound, only put alarm..

The other time i do all this.. 6-7hrs only drop 1%.. test and proven

Nope doesn't apply to the new batteries which use a different technology, Google around.

So can just charge anytime?
