Hi, did you think that if i buy a new battery i'll have a better autonomy ??? ... because my phone stays on 15min after he shut down
It should be better

The original battery recharge should last 1000 cycles under normal use.
It may be that the controller battery is defective or the battery has suffered overheating which destroys its internal components.

Can anyone inform me on the PROPER way to break in a brand new battery (have a ext and standard batt on the way) I think the one that came with my phone is a dud only almost three hours with moderate use on power saver settings! Can anyone tell me the proper way to break in new battery and even some tips to maintain battery health and longevity... thanks in advance.

Once a month, completely drain the battery to the point where the phone shuts off. This will calibrate the battery so your battery meter will become more accurate. I have read the best way to maintain a Poly-lithium battery is to trickle charge, meaning don't always drain it completely just do top ups with the charger. That should keep the batteries life lasting longer.

Thanks a million ....any tips on first time charge ? .I've heard you should charge it about 7 hours evn if the meter says the charge is complete is this true?

I am only able to use up to 60% of the battery everyday. If i dont charge it overnight, it doesnt last the next day. So the question is, it is okay to charge it up from 40% every night? I used to put my DesireHD overnight on the charher and it didnt give any problems but it was almost out of juice after that much time.
So can i put my note2 for charging from 40% overnight everynight?
Thanks in advance.
Shamps..

Shouldn't cause too many problems but it is important to run the battery completely flat occasionally - this prolongs the life of the battery - charging from 40% all the time will shorten the lifespan of your battery but not immediately - I virtually never charge from fully flat on any of my devices and still have yet to see drastic battery life reduction, besides if the battery does eventually start to fail new ones are cheap and thankfully very easy to replace ;0)

Wait a second...did you just said that it's good to drain your battery till completely flat...but then, you have never done this to any of your phones???

I believe it's better to not fully drain the battery before charging as frequent full discharges will shorten the life if Li-Ion batteries.
The only reason to do a full discharge maybe once a month is to calibrate the phone software (not to calibrate the battery per se, as it doesn't work with Li Ion).
So it is better to not let the battery drain fully before you charge it on a daily basis.

Yeah that's exactly what I said - what's right and what I do don't have to be the same thing - it's like teaching kids - do what I say, not what I do lol.
What I am stating is what battery manufacturers recommend, but I'm also stating that, despite not following the recommendations, I've never had a problem with battery life (in modern phones/gadgets) despite not following the manufacturers recommendations

Hey guys! Just gotten my note 2, and gonna drain the battery down soon, should I plug it in and charge for 8 hours straight from zero? Should this be done with the phone off? Or this doesn't matter anymore?

Doesn't matter anymore...
I usually do it. Zedomax recommends it, and it doesn't hurt anything to do so.

This is not needed anymore.
if the battery takes to long to kill then simply its already calibrated
many people don't know how a none-calibrated battery acts and think "battery life is great but it will get better later!"
if anyone of you happened to have a nokia phone in year 2000ish and still have it around i recommend you to go get a replacement battery for it and see for your self
unless the new battery jumps from 100% down to like 80/70% in no time then take too long to drain from 10% or something like that (in short battery acting weird)
then its already calibrated which is the case in all new phones/batteries
TL;DR
unless the battery is acting weird and not taking too long to kill then you dont need to do that

Thanks a lot I got my retail set from a carrier, so glad to have joined the note 2 community coming from the s3 :X so I just charge it up to full as per normal yes?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
This charging a long time first usage is also an old thing from the old nicd and nimh batteries..
in fact li-po and li-ion wont even charge after they are done, overcharging them means they explode/burn or get damaged.
there are built in safety features to prevent that.
and pulling it down to 0% means nothing since modern nimh, li-po, li-ion batteries don't got the memory effect.
actually going down to 0% would only test if the low voltage cutoff works as it should or if you damage your battery.
no need for that!

Batteries that comes with the latestmpgones these day do not need to be charged for 8 hours!
Just charge it till its full and continue to enjoy it!
You can preserve the life of you battery by not fully charging it and you can damage it by draining completely. I've no source for this information.

Last mouth my X.S have made 1 year of use.
But, recently, the battery was drained very fast...
about 30%over the night
and with a casual use, it lasts about 12 hours, with 3g on brightness on 25%
I use the 6.2.B.1.96.
I was wondering if this is something the OS is causing(which will need to reinstall the room or a custom one)?
or it is an natural aging of the battery.?
If it is the battery, i would buy a new one from ebay, you guys have some good seller to recomend?
I'm afraid that the seller send a fake one.
Thank you guys!
I would recommend you get Wakelock Detector or Better Battery Stats and find out if it's a rogue app draining your battery before you start looking for a hardware fix. Because if this is the case, you'll have bought a new battery only for it to have the same issues as the old one.
Power
I have found that a lot of the apps I use with push notifications really cause the drain, though flashing to a fresh build always seems to help too.
You could force calibaration
Fully charge the battery
And natruly let it die and turn off when it hits 0% and then put it on charge then leave for a few mins and then you should be able to power it up

Hi,
I have been getting only 20 hrs of battery and only 3 hours of screen on time. I have not used any processor intensive apps. Please check the images attached. Is this normal? I have bought it a week ago and I can get a replacement if the battery is defective. What do you think? Don't plan or rooting it.
P.S: I have chosen ogp over n5 because of the extra battery, but ogp's battery is equally bad.
Normal usage.
After playing 1hour of injustice i get around 3.30 of screen on time.
WiFi always on.

You need to understand that they provided the extra 'oomph' in the battery department, because this is a HUGE screen.
Another thing, is that LG's stock interface is filled with a lot of white menus, and submenus, etc.. That will also impact battery life more than you know.
Another factor to bring in to consideration is the cell coverage. Your phone has to work harder to acquire signal, in hard to reach places by your carrier.
All of these and more (wakelocks, no deep sleep, etc..) Have a big impact on your device's battery life.

i get this 4 hours screen time too
after charging it to 100% battery the CurrentWidget show still charging so i guess
leaving overcharging will make it last longer
