Note 2 battery life

[royfrosty]

Why does my Google+ using so mich battery? I have signed it out but it still eating up my abtery. I've noticed that I lost 4% per hr of battery without even using the phone.

4% quite normal already. What kind of battery do you expect to have at 1hr? Full or 99%?

Mine drops 1 % for around 7 hrs of sleep. However, i switch on flight mode (3G and wifi off) since i have no use for it when sleeping.

Why dun you just off the phone to conserve even more batt life since you not using it while sleeping?

Power saving mode and turn off 3g when you don't need it

anyone tried anker battery for note2 ? is it as good as s2 and s3 anker battery ?

As good.

I bought it from Ankerdirect in Ebay about a couple of weeks back. But someone told me that they don't deliver to Singapore anymore. I heard there is someone in hardwarezone forums selling them, but you need to search for him as I do not know who is it.

Anyone leaves their note 2 on 4G all day long?

Yes 4G all day. Can last all day.

Yes 4G all day. Can last all day.

i can only achieve that by using the juicedefender....else i doubt i will be able to achieve that

 

[samson1]

I leave mine on 4G all day. No problem lasting one day or more. Only have whatsapp running in the background. No wechat, Line, Facebook, viber, twitter, Skype, tango or any funny Chinese apps etc. running in the background. And you wonder why people always complain about poor battery life. LOL!

Anyway I just realized the recent updates to Google Play Music has caused the said app to auto start itself without the user even touching the app at all. It keeps appearing under Active Applications in the Task Manager and upon Ending All Task, the same app will start up on its own again after a while!

Yup i noticed that since the update as well.

Have been trying to figure out how to prevent it from auto launching in the background and it's quite annoying to see it always appearing under the current application.

think your charging system is spoilt. it maybe charging at as low as 0.5A and that is why it takes hours. Have similar experience as you previously and found out it is the charging cable spoilt.

Install battery monitor widget and monitor the mA charging. It should range from 800 to 1000mA. As it nears the 90% mark, the rate will decrease. The app also will show a graph on how long it took to charge.

Mine takes bout 3hrs+ thru ac. Also charge it when you wan. Dun need to wait for it to drain till 5-10% since the battery is changeable.

I tend to time my charging so that I dun leave my hp charging overnight and when I leave my home the next day, I got at least 85 to 90%. Cheers

recently, my N2 drops 20-30% overnight while i am sleeping. 3G is off, no sync etc. wonder whats wrong. been experimenting different things to investigate. my last suspect is the 64gb sandisk microsd that suddenly unmount itself 2 weeks back. other users in the galaxy forums say its the 4.1.2 update, but thats been out for quite a while
