I've been watching this thread in the N7100 forum. Let's see how the att version compared to the International! I have yet to decide between the att & International version.
Let's see your results!!
I've had the international for the past 2 weeks and got the att version today and so far battery is
Better on the international, gave the International to my gf thinking the att one would be better and I was
Wrong, as far as speeds go hspa vs lte just a a second or 2 faster
At least for browsing the Web, I'll update my results once I have the
Phone longer, but get the international if you can.
So far international easy I would get 16hrs so far my att note 2 died at 8 hrs. I must have something I need to adjust
This was straight out the box with only 55ish% charge. Completely stock. Im happy so far.

That's pretty terrible even if it's not conditioned yet. Especially because it sounds like you have only light use. You may want to take it back and replace the battery. Either that or you're in an area with terrible signal.

Take it back and get a new one. I just bought one on friday and even with heavy use my battery has lasted 20+ hours.
Sounds like a bad battery then. Happened to me on another phone. I just asked for a new battery and they gave it to me no problem.
I don't even have full bars and I get a minimum of 12 hours on pretty semi heavy use. I don't use wifi and I get at least 3-3.5 hours of screen on time.

Excellent news, glad it worked out. Where did you end up getting your battery? And if you don't mind me asking, how much did it set you back?
Apps like Facebook would drain my battery really fast. I use friendcaster now. Also make sure your not using the wireless location in the gps setting.

Hi everyone I got my phone 4 days ago and have been through charge cycles but my battery life sucks. I only get a Max of 2hrs on screen time and 12 hours with the phone on (if its in airplane mode the whole time). Also, it takes forever to charge. I charged it from 7pm to 10:30pm and it went from 2% to 34%. And as i type this message (on wifi) I lost 3% battery life. What should I do?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Also it seems that display takes up 50% battery (which is good) but as soon as I send one text, phone immediately goes to 50% and display down to 18%. It stays that way all day and rebooting does not help. And the battery percent goes up and down without charging. And yes I have calibrated it multiple times

Turned off diagnostics how does that affect battery life? And that usage was on 4g just got home and turned on WiFi. GPS is always off. Anything else?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
Turning GPS and WIFI off makes no difference. Those draw no power unless they're in use. WIFI only passively looks for a signal when it's on (every 30 seconds and gps is only active if an app uses it. Juice Defender will cause your battery to drain faster too.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
My battery life takes a dive when leaving GPS on all the time I don't know if it has something to do with jelly bean or not? It also keeps the phone awake, thus definitely using more battery.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
So many devs would like to have a talk with you...
T-Mobile Galaxy S 3, stock and rooted.
Actually the 4G radio uses more battery than wifi. Wifi can turn itself off after inactivity, having apps syncing all the time if you have it on will drain battery immensely. Mainly because it's suppose to be sleeping yet it still running and working and those apps will have a great time doing that. also depends how long you had phone, I have read batteries tend to drain faster after about 5 to 6 months of use.

Ever since Jelly Bean (cm or tw) battery life just isn't what it was on ics I was pulling 20 hour runs with 4 hours of screen time with ics, now I can barely get 9-10 hours with 2 hours of screen time.. It's almost like I'm afraid to use my phone because it'll die.. Very frustrating ik. Hopefully Google addresses this issue in android 4.3 (presumably key lime pie)
Until then, turn off Google Now, and maybe try to pinpoint some random app possibly causing wake locks and not letting the phone sleep properly (with the use of this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 )
Also, I highly recommend checking out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1969741

Check the battery stats for "gpsd". Mine started draining after updating to 4.1.2. It appears (for me at least) that the Samsung "find-your-phone-if someone-steels-it" was behaving badly.
If this is the case for you. Switch the service/function of and notify Samsung.
How many hours do you get when your battery is draining fast?
My stock phone started to drain fast as well. Within 6 hours unplugged I see myself having only 60 percent remaining with barely an hour screen on time. I tried to narrow it down to a rogue app but it seems the OTA was more plausable and easier to blame lol
Now back to using Jedi again.

My HOX gets 4 hours screen on and 9 hours off charger and that's with auto brightness and screen filter at 60% all day long. I have llama profiles to help with battery and I don't have wakelocks. I think my battery is going soon.
I read through all the comments in the thread about the HOX+ battery being compatible. Something like 72 pages lol. I feel confident of replacing but not sure if I should shell out 35USD on a HOX+ battery. I read of two OE three occurrences where the phone just dies after 4 months and the phone is rendered dead from the usage.
My question goes to those whose had the HOX+ battery in their HOX for a couple of months and whether they've seen improvement or disappointment. Have you faced any troubles? Is it worth the change?
I'm thinking of selling this on swappa and might grab an Optimus G or a GS3 with the extra cash if you guys do not believe it is worth it.
