I was wondering what's the most on screen time you guys have had before you phone dies? I feel like after 3 hours ish my phone's pretty much almost dead. How about you guys?
Oh and this is just like browsing on wifi, texting, facebook, not like intense games or anything like that.
Right now I'm at around 4hr 27mins with 20% battery remaining but the highest I have ever been able to have it on for was roughly 6 hours, I do believe. On average though, I get around 5 - 5 1/2 hours screen on time before I need to charge it.
I've been testing out random games for the past 45 mins which caused a quick drop in battery and Words With Friends also didn't help with how much of a battery hog it is. Bleh!

Thanks for answering. Actually got to 4 hours screen on time right now with 18 percent left. Phones been on a total of 20 hours. Does that sound about right to you?

Wow, i get about 2 1/2 hours only! Though i use a ton of 3g data during the day. Overall the battery last longer than it did on my Evo 3D.

Yeah, that sounds about right.
It seems the battery life for this phone is directly proportional to screen-on time. When it's in standby and not connected to 3G, 4G, or wifi; it uses almost no battery. Even when connected to something and in standby, it still barely uses anything.

Yeah, 3G in a low coverage (or almost any coverage) area puts one hell of a damper on battery life, from what I've noticed. I try and keep it off unless I'm using it or needing an app to do background updates or downloads of some sort.

Can people post pics off their battery life and set up? I'm getting an daily average of 9-12 hours. I hear of people getting 1-2 days with he same set up as me. 4 hours phone call, text, web, words with friends, etc

I get about ten hours of battery life but I spend about four or five hours non stop on the internet/ Facebook/YouTube and that definitely takes a lot off of my battery.. I'm running calkulus ROM with the ICS theme.. I'm not sure if this particular theme takes a lot from my battery but I feel like I could get two full days if I keep my 3g off and keep it to texting/phone calls. Hope this helped

On heavy business days with tons of phone calls like 50...lots of texts again around 50...checking email every hour...GPS once a day...I get around 8 hours before battery shows red. But that is using the phone heavy, in my hands all day always on it. For comparison, my EVO 4G with that same heavy use would die in around 4 hours.
On weekends with WiFi mainly...few texts...and casual web surfing, I easily go a whole day and into the next morning.

Had the exact same, 8-9 hours battery, drained so fast. However, tried Calkins ROM, with Tegrak Profiles and it now gets 20-24 hours. I'm really happy with the battery now.

when I don't spend much time usually during work days I get about 11 hr battery life. And I don't use juice defender crap either. Turn everything off go on 3g, if I need to use internet i'll just use works wifi.
Ive been trying to get my battery life to 24 hours! i am so close
anyone getting over 24 hours of battery life? share how ya did it!
what kernels are you using? Different Roms? are you over clocked or under-volting?

special in that it's less useful because you did not post screen time?
you probably didn't get much past 4 hours screen time if you even got that far so it's not like it's an achievement.
I see very little screen on time. I have done 18 hours stock with 3.5-4 hours screen on but it's on it's last leg at that point. Lol

Why is there so much awake time even though your screen is not on? And unless you got really high screen time, 24 hours isn't that all impressive.

I got 3 hours of streaming music over 3G with 30 minutes of screen time today until i hit 15%.........
Forgot to add, my tbolt with extended battery would take me from NY to Philly using navigation the entire way and streaming music and at the end of 3 hours drive with the screen on I was down to 75%......
It's extremely easy with Juice Defender: Ultimate and the Extended Battery..
GSM, Apex ROM, ORIGINAL 1750mah battery.
1 day 4hours
3hrs 13minutes screen ON time.
I forgot to screen cap the other pic of the huge graph.
This is only on WIFI though during the weekend when I was home all weekend long.
I can't get this high if I was using cell data/wifi during workdays.
Wow. I think I won. I took out the battery and waited 2 days and then I put it back in the phone. I got 2 days and 16 hours out of that.
Try to top that.

Some of us have corporate email, does juice put the device to sleep? I need push email.
I can get 3 days quite easily if im busy and dont get much use out of it.
This state was with about 3 hours screen time.
The main point to take about battery life is that you can make it use all during screen off with Franco kernal and AOKP for example but if your gonna be playing games/watching films the battery will hollow out in no time (notice the 2 big dips on the pic that was while playing GTA3 on full brightness)
So the best you can do is minimise the battery drain when you are not using it. Otherwise its all about screen-on time and a bit to do with how much junk you have running
Setup as detailed in my sig
Another "I get amazing battery life but barely use it" type of thread. Seriously we all know how long the battery can last based on the usage.

I'm on lean kernel and quite frankly, I couldn't tell you the last time I didn't get at least a day. You want better battery life? That is the kernel you want to be using.
I don't see a thread like this for the T-mobile variant so I figured we can have our own. It would be nice if you included the following with your posts:
screenshots including on screen time, information about your rom, kernel, etc. and estimated talk, text, browsing, and gaming time, and what brightness you had your screen on (auto, full, etc.). If you use something like SetCpu with profiles list your profiles and settings here too.
I'll start:
This is only my second cycle charge on this device. I only got it 2 days ago now which means it still has room for improvement
My sig has my rom info and I basically did a lot of twitter browsing, about 100 texts a few short minute phone calls including an hour long call when it was at around 10%, a lot of XDA reading, and no gaming today.
I have the device overclocked to 1.89ghz with this kernel with min set at 384mhz ondemand governor. I have a profile that clocks down to 1.5ghz at 50% battery life and another that clocks down to 1ghz at less than 10%.
I've never had a device give me 4h on screen time especially with the abuse I give this device. I can't wait to try out other kernels and roms to see these numbers rise.
I could get a day and a half with no tweaking and low usage, on an average day I'm getting ~15 hours before it starts whining about the battery
Yeah but what's your on screen time?

I could make it 24 hours easily with light usage. With moderate to heavy usage, probably around 20 hours. It really depends on how long the screen is on though. This phone has amazing battery life. My HTC Amaze probably only lasted half as long.

I agree, best battery life I have had out of all of my previous smartphones. I am still testing roms and kernel combinations to figure out what works best for how I use my device. I'm in the middle of testing FSG3 rom with trinity kernel. Will post up battery usage within the next 2 days to compare to my previous Stock rom with Adama 003 kernel battery life.
My Screen
Pretty Good so far, Stock Rom - Rooted - Still 40% left.
This is with the fsg3 rom and trinity kernel. First and only cycle so far. Brightness 100% wifi on most of the time, and data and gps always on. Played music for about half an hour and browsed xda for half an hour.
Edit: screen on time was just over 4 hours deleted the ss by accident.
Will post up the 2nd cycle when it's done.

New screen shots after a few cycles. Again fsg3 rom with trinity alpha 36 kernel. Brightness 100% wifi on most of the time, and and auto sync also on.
Look at screen time on not just total battery time. This is what determines good battery life not letting your device sleep on your desk for 2 days and saying you get amazing battery life.

I feel like my battery life is just bad. About 12 hours of use I will get tops 2 hours of screen time, with no gaming. I think it may be that my battery is just defective. My friend's S3 on Verizon gets about 10 hours of use with about 2.5 hours of screen time and is only at around 65 percent and that's with LTE enabled, which should drain the battery more than HSPA+. Mostly I think it's standby that drains my battery. I have looked for rogue apps found nothing. the phone does go into deep sleep, I would say I lose about 2-3 percent per hour, which shouldn't be normal.

Greatly depends..
If you're on Stock, you're draining will be completely different than on a ROM and it really depends on what you use it for. I am on PA and get about 24 hours with 2 hours of screen time, but some people on the same mod get 34 hours easy but they use it for different stuff.
So I decided to do what the manufacturer recommends when it comes to the battery, you know, charge it fully then discharge it. So I pulled it off the charger at 6am at 100%....moderate to heavy usage all day as I just unwrapped it, went to bed at 76%...so i turned on navigation and opened up a movie on Netflix hoping that would drive the battery down. I woke up at 56%! Myvold note would be dead, but this thing just keeps going! Christmas have mercy, this thing is amazing!

Yea man,Samsung did a phenomenal job this time around with the battery .I came from the i717 and I am so happy about battery life now!!!!
agreed. I was skeptical about the battery life reviews prior to purchasing and with a larger display and faster processor I figured no way any of this could be true. Coming from Galaxy SII that could not make a 6 hour day of use without being tethered to a PC and going out with anything less than a full charge was a recipe for disaster.
I can go a full day browsing and playing music on my Note II and not drain the battery.
Battery life is amazing. I have to really try and kill it to get it dead inside of a day.

It's not too hard to kill the battery on this monster. You can do a few things to really get the battery down, such as actual gaming, watching movies, and a lot of web browsing. Outside of that, it's really difficult to kill this battery under 24 hours. I have had very limited usage on my phone over the holiday. I am up to 77+ hours of battery time and a little over 3 hours of screen-on time and still have 7% battery left! If someone put a gun to my head and asked me to truthfully tell them when's the last time I had a phone other than the Note II, that could last 3 days without a charge, someone better call a really good clean-up crew!
I love the battery life, but I'm thinking about getting an extended battery just for the heck of it.

I have everything turned on. Bluetooth, exchange sync, all Google services sync, Skype in background, IM+ in background, weather update at 15min and still can't come close in draining the battery.

I too am quite surprised by the battery life offered by the Note II. This thing simply smokes any other phone I've used in terms of how long I can get out of a single charge, it's really impressive. I'm used to plugging my phone in every 6-8 hours on a day of heavy usage even with power saving mode turned on, whereas the Note II seems to be able to go pretty much all day and even then some depending on the usage.
I have the s3, but two of my good friends both have noteII and the first thing they both mentioned to me about the phone is the battery life! After being around one for a full day with much usage, I must agree it is very impressive for such a big screen!
