Best task killer for note 2 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

I have used advance task killer and tas killer and unimpressed by both, I want one to save battery and kill apps, anyone have a good experience with something differnt. See screen shot for rom and kernel Info

you're better off finding out which app is killing your battery and removing it. the only device i had task killer on was my old archos 101 since it only has 256MB of RAM.

Best one is to hold your physical home button until recent apps show and click the trash can.

Buzz words that mean nothing,
try a basic ROM with nothing installed for a day, if that works add stuff in till something breaks.

Yeah, you've got something wrong that a task killer won't fix. That's more than abnormal. Either you're running something/everything with bad sync settings... Or some ****e app is runaway.
Run "better battery stats" for a few days.

Wow.. maybe a bad battery? Or Rom?
Running Macksrom.. light usage I'll get 2 days plus out of my phone. Heavy screen and media still get's me 24 hours or more with no charge. This phone I've had no fear of using all that I please when unplugged. The only "task killer" i use is ES Task Manager to control my white list.
Also, that is running overclocked

Like someone said, find the app that's killing your battery and work on that first. I recommend gsam battery. If that doesn't help you then get juice defender. The pro option gives you even more options. There is no need for a task killer on android. The os is made to be as efficient as possible.

Battery calibration does nothing. Battery stats are wiped automatically everytime you charge to 100%. Task killers are worse for battery than not using one. Android manages apps just fine on its own, killing them with a task killer just forces the OS to unnecessarily wake up everytime it needs to restart a service. Your best bet is to use better battery stats to find what rogue app is killing your battery and/or using autostarts app to stop things you don't use from starting to begin with.
I like to break stuff!

Try gsam battery monitor from the play store to narrow it down.
Depending on usage, 6 hours could be normal. I get that with extremely heavy usage.

Don't waste time installing junk task killer, it will drain your battery. Just use the stock one. Hold home button and hit the trash icon.

The best task killer is no task killer
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

more than likely, as stated earlier, it is probably your battery. i had this problem with my stock battery as well. and yes it tested and charged fine but it clearly was not. after purchasing 2 anker batteries and charging them everything is back to normal and getting 2 days out of one battery with light use.

I was gonna saybthis but you beat me to it. Ics and jb have pretty good memory managment to begin with and the note 2 having 2 gb of ram helps a lot
Best way to charge your phone is a 500mah or 700mah charger. Takes forever to charge but the battery loves it better and gets a much stronger charge. The slower you charge the longer it lasts. Whenever I go to sleep I plug it into my pc

Take a look at these battery stats: all of a sudden, my battery life is crap!

So, I've been using CleanGB 1.1.2 for a few weeks, and I tried flashing a cm7 rom. Didn't like how much issues I was having, so I restored my old CleanGB rom. Ever since, my battery life is pathetic. I have an extended battery, usually charge it from 40% to 100% while I sleep. Now, its always charging because it dies so fast.
Take a look at the links, anyone have any answers? Thank you!

Try wiping battery stats....
If you don't know how the process works you can look at Qbking77's video on it- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbYVv4nCveM
Percentages don't tell us anything. What is your display on time? What is listed in running services? How much deep sleep is your phone getting? These are all that matter, not the battery screenies.
If you have 30 minutes screen on time with high intensity and are syncing something in a poor signal area that percentage is typical. If your phone is just sitting there and it drops that much an hour later then there is an errant app not closing.
Wiping battery stats does nothing... id recommend follow kenny's advice here, we can't really help you if you don't help us help you =].

How can I prevent apps from opening in the background? Like, games for some reason are in my backgrounded apps. I never opened that game, so why is it starting?
Any advice on making sure these apps don't start unless I make it start myself?

Problem is clear, all stats are fine except android system and display,no way is display that low it should be at least 60% the higher the better as it uses the most battery out of the lost batt, android system is way to high and I don't think there is a way to check what exactly it is, I would say flash a new rom.I had abnormally high cell standby and the other cell think I forgot the name haha, flashed a new rom (reaper 2.2.2) and I've had normal stats with display using the most.

They preload part of their code so that they open quicker when you want them. You can either use Autostarts to stop them or get paid version of Titanium Backup and freeze them until you want to use them or uninstall them.

That is just a misreport. It groups everything the phone does (basically being on except deep sleep) into Android System. The important stat is Display time.

Works well
Hi All,
I have installed the Juice Defender Plus. Since the first day of the installation, noticeable battery life improvement was seen.
Indeed, if u keep your data OFF (this consuming the most power) then...I can say that u do not need Juice Defender.
However, if u prefer an application to manage these settings automatically, instead of manually enabling/disabling data, then I recommend the use of Juice Defender.
Also, the application has a lot of settings that can be customized based on your needs.
I have it for around 6 months and I am still using it. I am stock...no root, no nothing
Hope this helps.

I mostly agree with this.
It really depends on your usage scenario though. If you don't use your phone a lot (or wake it frequently) during the day (and don't mind being 15/30 minutes behind on emails and other notifications), apps like JuiceDefender may potentially save you a bit of juice - if configured reasonably. I used to use JD a lot, and used to argue for it quite passionately. At some point, I stopped (I think I just forgot to restore it after changing ROMs) and I realized that I wasn't really using much more power during the day - and I was able to get real-time push notifications (rather than waiting every 15/30 minutes for JD to allow it). Now I just use Tasker to intelligently manage my device's radios under certain situations and my phone has no trouble making it through the day.
Eh no. It's the same or worse.
Plus I hate how I have to wait for data to reactivate.
--------------------------------------------------
If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
I used to use it and it worked great. Battery life was great but my "smart phone" was not so smart as I was often not notified of any emails or data related content.
I mean you have such a powerful phone and I'm sure that is why you got it... why limit it? just a thought.
I started using a widget for my 3g. When I tried JD on PA sprint it slowed my 3g for some reason. I'm sure I could test it more. Or I could try not to be lazy and use the widget.

What's your screen on time.
Looked kinda like liteflow might be causing problems?
Cell Standby i think is the one that is coded wrong and is lying, ignore that one.
If you press Android System in settings, battery it will show you the top components being used
Also in dev options look for and check Show CPU Usage. It will show whats using the cpu in the top right of your screen. Watch for what stays in the top few spots in the list.
There may have been something that didnt like the update. Try first uninstalling apps and if that helps reinstall them clean, no data restore. If you continue to have problems backup all data and factory reset. Start clean.
If all else fails use odin to flash the full LH2 fw.
LH2 should be a fairly stable build. Most have no issues and many get outstanding battery life. Im willing to bet its either an app or the way you updated or both.

That's really not THAT bad for a screen on time. I saw your screenshots in the OP, and you were down to 80% in only two hours of being on the battery, but you had the screen on for almost an hour of those two hours; 20%/hr for the first few hours is pretty normal. It's not stellar, but I wouldn't say it's an epic drain that being said, I'm sure you could squeeze some more juice out of it, and prob is just an app causing more drain than usual.
Also when doing a screenshot, it helps to hit the power button first, then the volume, so you don't get the volume pop up every time.

Besides, all those so called "battery saver" apps are just placebo's anyway; much like memory saver apps are.
Idk man. I tweet alot. and my 3g sucks battery... 2g isnt an option either....

all they really do is shut your data off when the screen is off, which will save you some battery. but then you wont get any notifications from apps that use data i.e. email, Facebook, etc. or at least that's how it was last time i tried those apps like a year ago, maybe they've changed it.

The apps will sync, or should sync, depending on the interval you set the phone to sync. I have mine set every 15 minutes, it saves me around 10-15% battery life a day.
Depend on your settings I think, mine worked exceeding my expectations. I had the dreaded hot phone and literally 5 hours battery life. My last hope is to install a custom ROM and kernel and hope for the best, but I'm trying to stay stock as possible if I can help it. I have my fair share tinkering with custom ROMs with GNex and needless to say I'm done customizing (it's endless once you start!).
So I installed JDU just for the heck of it, lo and behold it actually works. I now get 12hrs with 15% left after a day worth of usage, browsing, lots of yelp, maps and navigation (travelling at the moment), pandora, fb, whatsapp, gosms, GNow and camera. Please note that I'm using the N4 for less than a week and still conditioning the battery, I use JDU for a full day today for the first time.
I realized that using JDU is only a temporary 'fix' until Google patch the battery issue. I hope to get 14-16hrs battery life without JDU on stock and rooted ROM. One can only hope eh..
