Hi guys, I got my Galaxy Note 2 a few days ago....upgraded from the S3 im dead pleased with it and the power is immense! but....
My "Android System" is using far too much battery....I saw somewhere the 'norm' is between 10-15% and as you can see mine is twice (and a bit) that amount.
Could anyone help or advise what to do to fix the situation.
Thanks guys

Let the system stabilize for a few days.
Then again check the battery performance over a longer duration and not few minutes like your screen shot shows.
This note 2 has got good batteries. Don't worry.
Cheers!!!!
That percentage is viewed related to how long your device was on & in your screen shot it is on only for almost 10min & I think its not enough to gudge.
My opinion drain a full battery then judge what component is draining cbattery most

Here is my problem .... I've noticed that when my gnex is down to 10% of battery it won't last me longer than an hour in sleep this doesn't happen all the time but its annoying anyone else with similar issue ?
All stock including battery ..
Thanks in advance

There must be an app in the background that's draining it

Figured I start a thread specifically for the T-Mobile variant. I will say that I'm pretty pleased with the battery life thus far. I hated having to give up the ease of some functionality just so my Samsung OG Epic 4G could make it through the day. Meaning, turning off bluetooth, live wallpaper, wifi, etc.
I feel like I haven't had to do that even though there is a battery saver mode already. I'm currently sitting at 54% and it's been a day since taking it off the charger.
I currently have all the bells and whistles going. Live wallpaper and facial recognition to unlock. S-Pen detection and the whole 9. Anyhow, just wanted to see what everyone else is getting.
I'd be happy with 6 hours screen on time
i had the galaxy s3 before the note 2 and i have noticed huge battery improvements
I was briefly reading through the manual and saw this:
Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before
charging your device. Repeating this process of a complete
discharge and recharge can over time reduce the storage
capacity of any battery.
Pg 15
just thought I'd pass it along. I usually run my battery all the way down and let it die before recharging:

dam thanks i was about to do a few full discharge and full charge again, thanks for the info.
I'm not getting great battery life yet and have had the phone for over 24 hours since I picked it up yesterday morning. Can't pinpoint wjat could be draining it.
What do you guys think?

My guess wouod be your cell signal. Lot of yellow in there. Weaker signal means more battery drain
Good point. At work I'm on wifi but when it's not it is on edge

Looks like my battery life on my S3 with the Anker 4400mah battery!
Fairly light usage while I was at work. I always run power saving mode and auto dim.

Unbelievable. Its DOUBLE what I get on my note 1. This is the first time i can remember in years not changing a battery during a day.
I have had WiFi on most of the time.
I never thought I would see 14 hours.

The battery life on this is simply amazing. I am still shocked to see how good it is. I tried everything today to run it down. Barely even used WIFI today. Basically all 4G. Screen brightness was about 50% at least all day. Never below as well. Crazy awesome battery
My battery life is insane. Ive used my phone nonstop all day and its still going. I should easily get between 8-9 hours of onscreen time.

Me too. 6+ hours of screen time. No screenies at this time.
Not surpriesed though. Near tablet size should equal near tablet like battery life.

Battery life is very good compared to the previous releases. I ran for forty minutes with Bluetooth turned on while listening to tune in radio and using endomondo app. Google now turned on. I lost fifteen percent compared to losing 35% with similar usage. Very satisfied.
What do you think?

Why would you make a thread linking to a post you made in another thread?
Bit unnecessary. To answer the question it's too early for me to thoroughly test battery life.

thats not fantastic at all...
I would wait for at least 2 complete battery cycles to make a thread like this.

Ditto. My phone ran like a champ on a freshly flashed ROM. Then my phone realized it was born as a Verizon-Nexus mutt and had a psychological breakdown to the point of 1.75 hours of on-screen time the day after.
Twas a sad day
I'm reading my work email over the exchange service account. After upgrde to 4.2 the exchange service process eats my whole battery so I can't tell about any improvement.

When it comes to battery life (in general, though especially true with this newest release), it's crazy how many divergent opinions you get. Some people claim to get amazing battery life (exactly what quantifies for amazing?) and some people claim the battery life is crap. This is just to remind you that unless you have a good way of measuring battery life, your measurements can be plus/minus hour(s). Someone who just leaves their phone on a black screen with no wi-fi and cell may get 10 hours of screen-on time. Someone who is watching videos with cell/wi-fi might only get 2 hours of screen-on time.
In the future, I can make two recommendations:
Always report a complete cycle (from 100% to close to 0%). This is because the battery does not discharge at a constant rate.
Always report screen on time
Average for GNexus in previous builds was 2-4 hours. I've no idea about the plus/minus, but they tend not to be under 2 and over 4 with moderate usage. I think an average of 3-3.5 hours is what most people are happy to report.
And that is really sad because my old atrix used to get over 8 hours on Wi-Fi with over twelve hours of standby time. I wish they would make this phone but with a smaller screen size. The technology used on this phone is not battery efficient at all.

This tells us nothing....u don't show ur screen on time and uve been charging off and on..
Battery life in sleep mode is worse for me. I am losing 3% an hour with the screen off, I used to lose only 3% total overnight with the screen off not per hour. I tested this over the last 4 hours only waking the tablet up long enough to check the battery level and it has gone down by 3% each time. Nothing has changed with any apps or setting since I upgraded from 4.1.2 to 4.2. I got concerned when I noticed this morning that my battery was over 15% less then when I went to sleep. Anyone else notice this?
This is very good battery by my standards.

The screen on time is good but not much of an improvement. Also it appears you had WiFi off for most of the time.

Hi All I just got the Galaxy Note 2 like a month ago and I've been loving it the only thing that I've been question mean if the battery life right now I'm getting like 4 hours of screen time and that's basically what I use to get with my Galaxy Nexus.
I just wonder if this is normal because I hear people a lot saying that they get several days of battery in for me I just feel like I have to charge it every day I also been monitoring the apps that I have and the background usage of them and nothing seems to be draining it.
I'm using android HD 6.0 with Perseus kernel
posting a screenshot right now..

On really heavy use, that is pretty normal. But for normal use or moderate ones, certainly not. Based on your screenshots, you have a lot of wakelocks, these are the number 1 culprits for unexpected battery drain, go get better battery stats and use the phone exactly as how you used it when you took those screenshots, then after a day or two, checkout better battery stats and find which app was actually causing those wakelocks.

So late last week I installed liquid smooth and it was working awesome! was seeing -2.3% an hour on my battery drain. but as of two days ago, i'm getting a low of -13% drain an hour and sometimes all the way up to -38% an hour! The charge rate has even fallen from 24% an hour down to a cahrge rate of 10% an hour.
I think the culprit is the screen because it shows at >50% on the battery monitor and in the app "battery drain"
I've honestly searched and searched but can't find a solution to this. How can I pinpoint why my screen is using so much battery (brightness is on auto) even when my phone is in standby most of the day?
Same problem mate, mine is almost 80% drain by screen only..I replaced new battery also in RMA but its also not worked, maybe new update of android fix the problem..mine currently is 4.2.2 JB on nexus 7
