Battery life

Not really sure what is going on with my battery life. after 5 hours I am down to 50%. Is this normal? I am using the new beginning ROM by Tuesday.

5 hour display time!? sick battery life

Lol um yea I usually last about 13 hours total outer charge with moderate/heavy use and using juice defender to disable data while screens not in use..
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

No about 2 hour display time.

I thought juice defender drained the battery?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

Well you thought wrong lol it gives an extra couple hours with use and it'll last about 4 days if I barely use out
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

so you get 2 hours display time at 50%...
so you get about 4 hours display time total?
Well all i can say is...
WELCOME~! you have average battery life for the t989! other devices barely break 3 hours! congrats!

2 hours of display time (also depending on how bright you have had it) with 50% left is pretty good.

I'd have to disagree that 2 hours is good, I'd call it subprime. Do some searching on XDA. There are plenty of wonderful tutorials and guides to small things you can do to help it out quite a bit.

1800mah vs. 3800mah battery!!

Just got my 3800mah battery in the mail and I'll be posting stats and screen shots comparing the two. Everyone else feel free to do the same or share your experience with the two.

I can't, can't, can't, for the life of me get with those fat backs! It's just such an eye sore... And this phones so sleek. I'm curious to kno what's the largest (mah) battery you've seen without the aftermarket back?

I thought I was gonna hate the huge back too but had to try it and I gotta say... not that bad.... kinda like it even. I feel less likely to drop it.

Same here, it's like having a dinner slip grip . I think there's a 2100 that fits under the stock back plate
This has been a message from the Blu Kuban broadcast system!

I think its easier to hold with the back and I can get well over 6 hours screen time with the brightness up to about 75%. I got mine last weekend and I'm still amazed how long I use it and I get paranoid about the battery then look at it and its still all the way charged. I got the trexcell and its awesome so far. I'm at 13 hours on my charge right now with 1 hour and 2 minutes on the screen all web browsing and its at 75%.

Nice!!!

I'm in that same boat. I have a full comparison to. My girl has a stock battery in hers and my big ole battery lasts three times as long as hers lol
This has been a message from the Blu Kuban broadcast system!

I was just sick of battery being an issue for me on most Roms... And our phones are so slim already a little bulk don't hurt.

Which battery specifically did you get? I'm thinking of getting one myself actually, almost got stuck in the middle of a totally unknown location because my battery was almost dead. Not a fun predicament, I'll say that much.

Lol I usually never complain about any ROM cause I know my extended will still get me through the day any day

The brand on it is qcell. I've had them about 4 months and they are easily as good as the OE battery. Though I believe they are advertised as 1950 as opposed to our 1800. For $20 you can't go wrong.

I have 2 batteries so I get to enjoy my slim and sexy Epic 4G Touch without all the junk in the trunk.
Charge one to 100% then swap it and charge to other to 100% and there's no need to carry a charger with me when I leave the house.
It's not that hard to pop the back off and swap batteries...

[Q] Battery Question

I use my phone a LOT. Everyday, I end up charging it from around 30% to fully charged about two or three times a day.
How is this going to affect the life of my battery? How long should I expect my battery to last at this rate? I've never given it much thought before, as I've always had a removable battery, making replacement cheap and easy, but the LGOG just has to be different...

Dude stop being so OCD. A battery is good for about 2 years and by then who cares if the battery goes bad.

Thanks. I didn't consider it being OCD. As I said, I've never really thought of it before, and I was just curious. Thanks again!

Will a LG Optimus G Pro battery fit the Note 2?

The new LG Optimus G Pro that's about to drop on AT&T will the stock battery out of that fit the Note 2 with the Note 2s stock battery cover?
The Pros battery is a tiny bit bigger in mah and just want to get the biggest battery possible using the stock battery cover on my Note 2.
If it'll fit where can I purchase it? Amazon and eBay don't have it.

You're not gonna find that answer here, you need to wait til it drops and ask their forum the dimensions.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2

Id have to say it is very unlikley as most phone batteries are custom for each device and it is unlikley that batteries would be transferable except in related devices like the OG galaxy S and the Captivate Fascinate ect

Why don't you just buy a extended battery 6200mah from Amazon eBay. Its your choice were to spend your money!! Instead of worrying about a battery from a different manufacture.

Why would you even ask this question.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2

Are we talking a true 40 mah difference here ?
No dis-respect intended OP, but 40 mah would equate to maybe one 2 minute phone call, or perhaps a few mms messages in difference.
Certainly not worth the price, or even the trouble in pulling the battery cover....IMHO
Basic changes in the rom would yield far more than 40 mah in power savings. Even a basic governor change or clock speed change would get you that easily.
The gain with that battery upgrade is pointless really. ...g

Because the dock that I got can also charge a spare battery ..so the next battery I would buy I was looking at the G Pros since its rated a bit higher.

You're a member of community that loves their cellphones and mods it to ****..and you say "Just be happy with stock" Lol seems I'll just have to find out myself with these replies I'm getting.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2

That is a good idea. ..
Once the batteries become available, buy one and test it.
And although it will make no appreciable difference in battery life, you will have your answer and can report your findings.
The answers you got are valid, because we don't own LG devices, and because we can't even buy the battery yet anyway.
It looks like you get to be patient zero on this mod.
Happy battery buying. ...g
Edit:
The current note 2 battery is a guarantee for the same money and the same output. ..g

Yes...be happy with it. You can get 7 hours of screen time with the right ROM and kernel now.
How much more will that unproved battery net you?
To me it is not cost effective... and not worth the time to try to get.
Yes...like to mod my phone...but I won't cut off my nose to spite my face.Yes I could do all types of mods to it, but it has to be worth the effort.
The battery we have, if working optimally, which requires you to set up to do,works great right now with out any modding in the intended docks designed for the phone...
If you want to change batteries for craps & grins.... nock your self out.

I agree with all these guys there is no reason to switch batteries with this phone I get 6 hours of screen time at about 21 hours average. If your so worried about needing more juice look into a real extended battery 40mah is not gonna do $hit

Damn I can hardly get 3h with stock battery and 12h on battery.

I have the QCell 4200mah. Got it on Amazon for 22 bucks or something. Easily get around 5 hours of screen time and a whole days use. Adds some bulk, but feels nice. Cases are offered by QCell also.

I have the official extended 3000 from Samsung. The phone is bit thicker but I'm finding I like it more like this and no longer has the tendency to slip from my hand. Getting 3 hour screen time with max brightness and LTE. Stock Kernel but running Wicked v9.1.

I chose to go for the mophie case for battery quality and the fact that all the big battery's don't have cases that cover the screen edge of the gs3. I found mophie only does. If your looking for protection too.

None that I am aware of, I have never owned a gold one but there are posts around both for and against them... some say they are just a 2100 mAh with a new sticker....

I have Seidio's extended battery, along with the case for it. Outrageously expensive, but worth every penny if only because the case has saved my phone from destruction at least 6-8 times when I've dropped it onto hard floors.
It (or my phone) definitely has "moods", though... I've managed to burn through the entire extended battery in as few as 3-4 hours (!!!) a few times. If I don't semi-charge it on my desk at work, it'll usually be down to 15-30% by the time I go home, and dangerously low if it gets another 30-60 minutes of constant use somewhere while eating dinner. I wish somebody besides Seidio made a battery with the compatible dimensions... I wouldn't use a second one often enough to justify throwing down another $70, but I'd love to pick up a second one that's good enough to go for another 3-4 hours.
In case anybody's wondering, my awful battery life is mostly because I use Graffiti, and have to lock the CPU to 100% whenever the screen is on to get acceptable accuracy. It seems like every new generation of Android phones has a worse sample rate than the last, and gets more and more aggressive about trying to slow down the CPU whenever there's a soft keyboard open. (Seriously... my creaky, ancient Sprint Hero OC'ed to 712MHz had a butter-smooth high sample rate, and I could get almost 100% accuracy writing blind with my thumb. My S3 seems to have MAYBE half the sample rate, and Graffiti input when the CPU is allowed to scale down freely and some ***** app is doing realtime Ajax character-by-character queries is almost impossible.
