Had my Note 2 since Saturday and the battery seems really poor to think everyone reviewing them said they were fantastic.
Day 1 from full charge to 2% I had 1 day 8 hours

Day 2 from full charge to 6% I had 17 hrs 10 mins
Don't seem to have any rogue apps from battery monitors I've tried which makes sense as I've only downloaded about 10 apps.
Always have WiFi and GPS on which I always do on any phone, and have auto brightness off and set manually to just under half way.
I have dropbox set up to automatically upload camera pictures but under battery monitor this only uses 0.5% of battery use.
I also seem to have a faulty S Pen which sometimes seems too sensitive as it'll draw or open menus/apps with the pen about 1cm from the screen, and other times the pen doesn't recognise the air/hover mode and I have to press firmly to draw.
Any ideas?
Between this and the over sensitive S Pen, I'm beginning to think I just have a faulty phone!?
If it was as easy as taking it to a store I would, but I received it free with a 2 year contract from an online company in the UK called Affordable Mobiles who seem to have pretty good reviews. They've said if I want an exchange or them to have a look at it I'd have to send it back and wait 2-3 days which I can't do really as I don't have a spare phone - but at the same time I don't want to start rooting the phone and messing about with launchers if it is a fault.
Thanks
Turn off gps. Thats sucking away your battery mate. Turn it on only when u need it.

IMO, to get more than 1 day with WiFi & GPS constantly on is good. On my Note 2, I am usually left with around 30% of battery left at the end of the day but I never have GPS turned on unless I need it, only my WiFi is on.

So why are you posting this exact same message in multiple threads without explanation?
Try resetting the phone and check it for another day without installing any third party apps if it gives the same result that it must be a faulty phone. Hope it helps.

Thanks guys, I'll try resetting it as suggested and see how it goes for a day or two.
Hope it's just me expecting too much cos I love the phone otherwise and don't want to send it back lol

You should judge your battery stats from your screen on time. Regular usage with sync and wifi and data enabled should get you between 5 and 8 hours, but it's possible to reach 10 and beyond with low brightness and no connectivity. If it's below 4, you can start thinking that something is wrong if you didn't do any crazy gps navigation or something, and start from there.

Well, mine can lasts up to 2 days with Wifi turned on when I'm awake. Also I have roughly 5 hours screen on time on average. Quite achievable with heavy debloating of the ROM and using custom kernel and probably with some undervolting done too.
P/S it's my first Android. Still learning. Please correct if I'm wrong :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
So far on my third day I have 10% left with 1d 5h on battery and 5h 13m screen on time.
Regarding issue I mentioned about the S Pen, Samsung are sending me a new one to try and rule out the phone
nothind wrong with your battery 5 hours screen on is good don't worry everything is fine

Sure sure it's with light use, but just the fact that it can hit 6+ hours screen time after more than a day and a half... sits pretty well with me.
No games, 30% screen brightness, 74 mins of calls, quite a bit of texting & whatsapp, 30 odd mins browsing, wifi 100%, sync on, only 1 widget.

No, he didn't? Look closer on first screenshot. There is no sign of charging on those lines below the graph. Those places where graph line goes up are pretty normal and that doesn't mean device war charging.

Nah I didn't charge it at all, as the other guys pointed out. I remember my battery dropping to 4%, I then put down my phone and when I came back later on, it was reading 5%. I thought I was going crazy, but looking at the graph now I see it really did happen. It raised from 4% to 5% and stayed there for a bit before dropping to 4% again.
Anyway, I hope this wasn't a one off... it's not doing as well today with the same usage. We'll see...

Actually, the phone calls don't do much damage... You should be able to talk 11hours on this phone apparently...
I am very jealous. I am lucky to get 3-3.5 of web surfing.
With standard battery, you can get almost 11 hours screen on time (by doing nothing):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1366878&highlight=max+battery
So, that's the limit
My experience with extended battery, 2000 mAH, GSM, I could get 4 and a half screen on time with 61 hours stand by time. For sure, it can go down to 6 hours or more screen on time if I down the standby time. All with stock ROM, stok kernel, un-locked
It is not difficult to achieve that knowing the limit, all depends on how you set it up and how do you use your phone.
I charged my phone up twice, one time I didn't use juicedefender ultimate and the other I find here are the results:

What have you done in that time? Just curious. Used cam? browsed net with wifi or 3g?
Trying to decide whether mine needs to go back or not basically.
How many charge cycles did it take to get to this stage?
When you first got the phone, did you just charge to full then use?

I want to know what you can do to get 4 and half hours screen time.
I mean, unless your just looking at the homescreen constantly there must be either WiFi usage or 3G going on. Unless of course, you were texting for three hours straight.

You can game & watch movies without 3g or WiFi.
As I'm on unlimited data, I think I will perform a test of constant H/3G streaming,
as on my SGS2, I could easily kill the battery with less than an hour screen on time. (less than 8hrs total use - streaming for only 4/5hrs was enough to kill it - screen off aswell)
... Screen on time isn't everything.
& as I stream a lot, it's a test I could easily do, & one I need to know the results of for myself.
Hopefully my HOX will outperform my ex-SGS2 in this particular battery test.
... Streaming over mobile data, truly does eat battery, but I hope it's a long test.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Half an hour on max brightness with screen set to never turn off only took 10% so you got a point there.
Screen time on is a good guide to actual usage though, if the screen is on then the phone is being used. So out of a 14 hour odd day on battery you only use it for a few hours seems a bit poor.
I'm envious of people who seem to get over 4 hrs real world "usage".

I charged it up during the day yesterday, but then hammered it syncing my emails, sms messages and other things.
So, last night was my first real charge. I took it off the charger at 6am this morning, and right now, at just a few minutes less than 5 hours, I'm at 83% with 70% use being cell standby.
I'm sticking with HSPA+ today, because I know that will drain the battery more than WiFi (at least that was the case on my Atrix) and I'm trying to get a feel for the battery life when away from WiFi.
Now, full disclosure, my phone has 6 email accounts setup for push. An Exchange account, two Gmail accounts and three Imap idle accounts using k9 mail. Still, I would say it's burning battery at a little higher rate than my Atrix with those same six push email accounts.
5 hours and down to 40%.
:-(
I'm seeing a significant increase in battery life whith the s3 over the s2

I'm a bit of a light user, but a little heavier than average given new phone.
7.5 hrs @ 57%.
I'll post screens when I can.
5 Hours, 45%, screen on 2 hr, 12 min.
Interesting thing: I have a Pandora Widget on my screen, have not used it at all, and 13% of my power, and show son for 22 min.
9.5 hrs @ 29%.
I am using the default juicedefender profile.
Cell standby hogs the battery more than other phones like US One X with same SoC. I think kernel devs can work on this since this is not normal.
To get a good idea on battery life, everyone needs to show their screen on time as it should be the biggest drain.

^^ I had power saving off for the first 3 hours of the day, and screen was set to 1/4 brightness. I changed screen to auto brightness, disabled wifi network scanning/notification, turned on power saving mode (all options), and it's been like that since about 3 hours into the day. I've done some driving with Slacker Radio streaming via bluetooth to my Jeep.
Seems like cellular standby eats juice. I am in an LTE area.
is the a way to turn off LTE?
This is mine so far, don't really run any battery saving appsetc. Cell standby is a bit too much.

This really depends on use...
If I'm playing games alot during the day, it's maybe ~ 8 hours... if I'm just using it as a device to check e-mail, chat with my wife, and view twitter... it's probably closer to 12-16 hours. Many days at work, I hit the end of the day with ~ 10-15% battery left and that's ~ 18 hours?

I should have grabbed a screen shot last night... had ~ 13-15 hours... had talked on the phone for over an hour, listened to music for close to 5 hours while working on cleaning the house... Plus periodic e-mails from two different accounts and other misc stuff... basically I was at ~ 17% when I plugged it in last night.
This is a very light usage day. Was at the auto show all day using my DSLR instead of this. But I'd say its still impressive. I'm using AOKP with allsparks cm kernel.

This is my battery status. Anyone here faced "Media Server" problem before? This problem annoyed me a long time. I have tried many solution / method, but no luck. :crying::crying::crying:
GPS is the ultimate killer.... I lose 14%-15% every 30min when using GPS, included LTE, Bluetooth and Screen, turned on.... Other than that its not bad for daily use.....
Since paying attention to my battery life because of this thread, I found that HD widgets was consuming an unreasonable amount of battery life (after turning off my GPS, this suddenly became my top application...)
Basically, in many cases I expect the screen to be the top talker - say 3-4 hours of screen on-time... I've been only getting just over 2 hours... which doesn't seem even close to what I'd expect... I want to say with .67 I was getting more than 3 hours of screen on time on a regular basis, and a few times around 4.
I need to wipe and start from scratch... but Sony's rumored releases and delayed releases for their software versions drive me nuts. I mean the latest 4.3 (101) hasn't officially dropped yet for the 6506, and 4.4 is rumored to hit sometime mid march... Not sure what to think or do...
Oh, and if you're having an issue with Mediaserver - that can be one of several things... could be a corrupt image, could be a flaky MP3... try wiping the cache for your media server and reboot and see if it straightens out AFTER it's cached everything...

On pace for over 8 hours SOT. This phone is a beast!
I had a much better one two days ago, but I didn't get a screen shot.
I average well over a full work day with more than 7+ hours of SOT.
I don't use a dark theme, but it's not a bright theme either. No power save use ever. I use bluetooth and headphones to listen to music throughout the day. Plenty of web surfing and media related tasks. I don't play games.
I believe I get better battery performance following charging via wireless instead of the Rapid Charger. It's just been my overall experience so far.

This version of the Note has me the most disappointed. I got less than 12 hours of use out of the phone, with it in ultra power saving mode for more that 50% of that time, just texting. I had my Note 4 with me as well, using that to listen to music, watch Netflix, and read on the Nook app, with wi-fi turned on but no cellular, bluetooth, or gps turned on, but I had over 50% battery left when the Note 5 died.

AT&T has a 14 day return policy. If you are still within it, why not return the phone and get something else?
Yeah I'm within the 14 day return policy but nothing on the market is better than the Note 5 in terms of overall package. Guess I'll just ride it out. I like the Note 5 a lot and I guess if I can get a full day of use that's good enough.. Plus Marshmallow should fix a lot of issues that plague Lollipop. Here's to hoping we actually see M before the Note 6 is released..

Samsung isn't terrible when it comes to updating. Especially when you consider the amount of work involved in getting TW ported, and the high number of devices they have.
AT&T, on the other hand, might not accept that update from Samsung until 2017 or later.
I'm very serious when I say that if you keep this phone, accept it how it is today. Assume no bug fixes, no updates and no root. This way, you're prepared for one possible outcome and can only be pleasantly surprised.
(Yes, I'm having to do the same math. You can't imagine how hard it is for me to accept a phone with no root... but it's a good device...)
