Note 2 battery life

[Nemesismaster]

Any significant differences between 3G users n 4G users in just standby mode?

Im considering activating my 4G m1 line, aware of the change to 2gb but I want to know any major impact I would be expecting in terms of battery life in standby mode.

4g drains quite alot of batt life to be honest.
but the speed will bring 3g to shame. well maybe cause now not many 4g users also.

I bought the Max Power one, at 3600mAh. Awaiting arrival.

3600mah Max Power Spare For Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Battery - Cell Phone Accessories - OBOstore.com

Used the Max Power brand on my Note 1 before with good results, so ratings should be reliable.

please giv review once u got this batt hor.

Hi guys,

regarding Amps ie. 0.5A, 1A, 2A for chargers, I guess logically higher is better / faster?

I kept the original Note 2 wall charger in my work place - but at home, now I'm using an old Samsung Ace wall charger (0.7A), charging speed seems to be fine.

Question, how much slower or faster would a 0.5A charger or a 1A/2A charger gives?

Reason, I saw a dock charger that seems to be quite affordable, abt USD9.50, but rating is 500mA, (0.5A?) - so I'm wondering if it would end up as a cradle to hold my Note II and not charging efficiently?

Should I just go and buy the more expensive original Samsung Charger / Cradle / Dock, that can hold the Note II as a cradle + charge the note II + charge a spare battery too?

Would I need a spare battery, since the stock battery is already quite sufficient for my daily usage? Do you guys actually swap batteries while on the go?

Well, I mostly buy the 3rd party batteries to replace the original if they work as fine. I'll put the original in the box and use this one as much as I like, charging it anytime I want. Since lithium battery has a limited charge cycle, I would like to preserve the original battery. Using the cheap ones like the max power I'm getting for less than $10 is great as it lasts the same.

it's just the danger of using cheapo 3rd party batts full time, same as using cheapo batt chargers...

after i read the article posted by another dude about the dangers of cheapo batt chargers, I'm definitely thinking twice to buy such chargers man

I find it weird that whatapps and internet explorer didnt appear in the battery screenshot.

 

[kEvinErd]

My browser also sometimes go missing in the stock Battery screen too even though I use it frequently the whole day. Btw Internet Explorer..? Haha

Is this normal?

Is this normal?

If u on 4G all the way then is abnormal.

i think even if you do not use it , the charge dies and life span decreases.
when buying batteries need to look at the manufacuting date

lol. Sometime H+

That means my battery is damn powerful?

Ur screen time is probably only an hour or so right?

haha, I don't understand?

how long is your screen on time?

tap on the "screen" row in your battery stats to see it.

P = IV
For 1A charger you get power of 5W = 5V x 1A
For 2A charger you get power of 10W = 5V X 2A

Literally, a 2A charger will speed up your charging by approximately 2 times.

Calculation can be seen below:
Maximum Time to full charge (No efficiency loss)
= ((Battery Capacity / Charge Rate Current)*10/10)

2A charger gives you
((3100mAh/2000mA)*10/10)
= 1.55 Hours

1A charger gives you
((3100mAh/1000mA)*10/10)
= 3.1 Hours

Please note calculations are as of ideal case with no efficiency loss.

So you mean I must fully ultilise the phone for almost the whole day?
