Note 2 battery life

[gt_5454]

Just jking, on that day when I bought this phone n was comparing between note 2 n s3 I find them hardly different other than note is a little bigger. Especially if u compared grey note2 n pebble blue s3 in a dimm place its almost alike.

If ur not playing intensive games, u could actually use the built in saving batt function as it uses less resources to operate your phone without the god damn lag like s2 does. As description, normal operations like web surfing n meddling with day to day operations would not be affected n no performances differences felt.

Juice defender is useless app too. Dont let the noobies 5 stars reviews fool u. Veterans satki users dont use saving app.....dont believe? U can pm those satki batt graph posters in this thread...u can skip that particular level 99 satki one as he had given u his golden piece already....hehe

I don't need to be satki actually ... As I know some switch off data etc to save battery ... I personally do not like to use a smart phone as a dumb phone and switch off location, data etc ... The phone should functions as it should as a smart or smartest phone in the market now ...

If there are apps that can track want causes the battery drain of 30% in a 7 hours sleep, I hope someone can advise me and I will just kill those apps and problem solved I hope..

Heard about better battery stats and CPU spy ..not sure which is good for my purpose

True, but I've seen some of the people claiming they can get 5-6 on average, but I guess how it's being used, I only use it for messaging normally, was thinking whether GoSMS was the victim?

Either way, I have purchased a 6200mah battery from Amazon

Just found this excellent guide on how to interprete the main kernel and partial wakelocks as identified from BBS and how to fix! Turns out that its common to have email apps being one of the few apps causing major partial wakelocks.

Anyway there are no useless battery saving app other than juice defender ... may I know which is a good app to monitor which apps is causing the drain? Tks

This is what I did ...

1. Press and hold home button
2. Select the left most "pie chart" looking button
3. Select the "RAM" tab
4. Select "Clear RAM"

After that the battery life improved.

Good luck.

I have about 6hrs on screen time. mostly because i've rooted my phone, custom kernel and undervolting. even on stock i'm getting about 5hrs, with location and stuff. but i have turn off auto syncing for gmail. maybe if you want to extend your battery life further, you might want to consider undervolting and using a custom kernel.

If I visit samsung customer service center are they able change the battery for me? Like what kind of reasons should I give? Or even better if they can change the whole phone!

For Wifi ... please go "Settings" .. touch on "Wifi" .. press left menu key ... Advanced .... for "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" ... change to "Only when Plugged in".

Then clear your RAM and try again. Monitor over 3-4 charge and post your feedback here again.

4g/3g standby > wifi always on > data off

In terms of batt usage.

If wifi only on when plugged in is as good as data on standby
