I am not sure what else to try to get the screen not to use so much juice. I have Juice Defender and pretty sure I am conserving power when screen is off. But what about making use of this device with screen on? Amoled seems to chew up power even when at low settings. I have added screen shots to help diagnose. Thanks for feedback.
Seriously 1%?
Haha it's reporting on a span of 4 seconds. Of course the screen will use a high percentage. Over the course of a day the screen should be about 50% of your battery usage.
LOL! Come back again after a day.
That's not a long enough sample. Leave the phone alone for 12 hours and then check battery usage again. In your screen shot, the only thing you've really used is the screen so of course it's going to be responsible for 97% of battery usage. I would be more concerned that your total battery usage equals 102%.

Seems Better Today
As everyone said, wait a few hours not few seconds Relaxing in a rather empty coffee house this afternoon but the sun is out even though t-storms are predicted for tomorrow. And seems #Android community was right about my post...once using the phone for many hours on battery the screen only takes about 50% of the juice. Wondering what would happen if I made brighter.

You need to start thinking of that chart as a Pie-chart. It's going to add up to 100% (approximately) all the time so as one item goes down another has to go up (and vice versa).
The first 1% on the GN typically goes fast, it's not like the I9100 where the battery wouldn't drop to 99% until after 10 minutes of screen on time. All things being equal I see a little less screen minutes per percent on my GN than my I9100. I usually clocked ~4:30 minutes per % on my I9100, perhaps ~45 seconds less per percent on my GN.
So here is my statistic of Today:

Anything syncing in that period? Any bad signal at any time? Seems like you were on wifi, are you able to test a whole day with 3g only as that impacts battery life quite a bit.
Regards to screen, what brightness?
Cheers.
Ignore quoted myself!
Battery seems compareable with other phones which is good considering the large screen and quad core!
Convincing...
mushweed,
Thanks for the info. Things are looking pretty good for the battery life. 3h23min is a good start and would probably be north of 4h with several more charges. Will you update us in a week with the battery performance so we can see the comparison.

3hr 23 minutes screen-on time & you still have 33% battery remaining?
Was this with auto brightness?
I'm also curious to know the screen on time when the battery is down to 0%

Hey mushweed thank u for the info, looks like the battery ain't bad at all, and the battery should get even better after a few more cycles !! Woooho Two more days til I'll get mine can't wait !! Cheers!

It tells you in battery usage, built into android itself.
Still don't think it's possible to get 5hr screen on time?

You would assume that 61% of battery usage of total 10hrs would mean 6 hours of screen on time.. In fact, it is 3 as said by the user.
For the other thing:
I didn't know android could tell you how many hours you used your phone (screen on).
Can someone post a screenshot how you could know it?

I said just over 5hrs a few days ago, saying it wasn't proof but a good guesstimate, & I did state guess at the time based of a simple calculation. - for which you just insulted me.
3hrs 23 mins with 33% battery remaining tells me it's pretty damn possible to get the 5hrs that I guessed a few days ago.
As, at 20-25% - the phone will enter its own battery saving management to give further juice.
Screen on time can be found in any android version, battery usage > display (click on display to show screen on time)
Are you still saying it's not possible....

I ain't arguing with anyone, I still believe you to be a troll in this forum.
Xda users don't wanna hear your constant flaming of this phone, if you don't like it - dont get it.
In past weeks, ive seen you diss the design, the cpu, battery, ram, camera, video & lots of other things....
Anyway,
My guess was 5hrs, & if this guy can get 3hrs 22mins with 33% battery remaining, I'd say my guess at the time was a decent guess. (whether true or not, it was a guess which you just insulted me for!)
Regardless if you agree or not.

I was checking out the Galaxy S3 at my local AT&T store and noticed the display seemed dim compared to my GS2 but just figured it was the store lighting but after reading this review from Cnet I guess it might have been the GS3..
i would think having to crank up the display brightness to higher levels then need be on a GS2 would cause some considerable battery drain.
What are you guys finding coming from the GS2?

I didn't like the auto-brightness so I just manually do it. Most of the time I leave it at 100% and I have excellent battery life. But you can install a toggle or widget to adjust brightness. Also, there's a battery save option that lowers screen brightness, which might also be coming into play.
You're right it is not as bright. Especially compared to a Vibrant. It is however very usable. Most of the time I have mine turned down to either 50-75%

Wow.. If I left my GS2 at 100% or even 75 I wouldn't make it through the day on a full charge.. Not even close.. Kind of worries me now..
I get over 3 hours of display time a day now, what are you guys getting with the GS3 set at 100% and Mike's 50-75%?

Screen at 75% 12 hours since charged. 2.5 hours of screen time. 30 minute phone call. 45% battery left.

Since the screen isn't as bright as the GS2, 50-75% is probably what the GS2 did at 30-50%.
I keep mine at around 65% and usually get around 4-5 hours of screen on time per day. The phone easily lasts the whole day with medium usage.
Even at 65% my phone can still be easily seen in sunlight.
Nice.... actually sounds like the GS3 has better battery life then the GS2!!! Even with the display cranked up more then I presently use on my GS2...

Currently running Jedi x11, and have had if for about a week now in order to test if there are infact major improvements.
I never really sat down with a timer and timed how long it took my phone to deplete, or charge, so I won't have an exact time duration for these, but I can confidently say, that since I got Jedi x11 on here, two things have started to happen.
1) Battery takes a very extended time in recharging. Both when in use, and set aside. - Previously, my battery would fully charge anywhere from 1 1/2 - 2 hours from about 15%.
2) My battery is depleting ridiculously fast. I type fairly fast, I'd say about avarage, and just for an example, I started this thread at 93%, and at this very moment, it's now at 91%... Even when not in use, the battery seems to deplete at a much faster rate. Tethering is also very draining now. - Previously, again, never timed it, but I am sure by the constant use of my phone that I've had for some time now, that this wasn't ever the case before.
This is just my observations: It would seem Jedi helps when the phone isn't in use. I'm not sure if this mentioned CPU sleeper helps with that or not, it's hard to tell as like I said, the battery goes down even when no major screen time is in use. Maybe it's something I have to turn on? Maybe not. Another, observation, when I am actively using the phone the battery will drop fast. Like, double fast.
And lastly, I observe the battery life will stay on a certain percentage longer than it does others. (Currently 89%) I took about 10 - 15 minutes writing this.
Any thoughts? Thanks for any replies I do get.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem on this rom. Phone takes 9 hrs to fully charge, I was starting to think I'm going crazy. My battery will charge fast if I go back to stock. But I would hate to go back because of this.

Well guys, I'm not sure what's going on, but, it should be noted. The Battery on this thing just lasted the entire evening from last night (7pm) up until now, with about the same amount of use that I did the days before when I noticed abnormal battery depletion.
Currently at 47% and I've yet to charge the phone. Of course that is with the fact that I put the phone in airplane mode while I sleep for a few hours. I watched a lot of video, listened to audio, and it's as if they thing knew I wasn't pleased with what was happening, it's now behaving like it should.
This happened a few days ago also, where the battery lasted 16 hours and was at 27%. So this leads me to think it's something that happens on and off, and I have no clue what triggers it. phone ussage rains the same. Took about 5-7 minutes writing this, and the battery marker only went from 47%, to 46%.
Credit where it's due.

a lot of factors involved when it comes to battery. based on my experience, try to see what's going on with your system using this thread. noted post 1-3. also investigate about your kernel. i am using perseus kernel and my charging time is pretty good improving than on stock :good:. also i can undervolt CPU.
where you at and which service provide you use, again, have impact on this case. i used to be with t-mo and now trying h2o (att mvno) and my battery is dropping faster when i use data. i believe since at&t coverage is suck where i am at, specially when indoors, thus phone radio has to work extra harder to get reception and shorten battery's life.

In the early days of Android CPUs were not very efficient. Undervolting helped battery life. That is no longer the case. Most good kernel devs will tell you they hate under clocking because it has a placebo effect and makes their kernel unstable.

thanks ronnie. it's good to know. wondering why some of them (well known, i believe) still offering CPU voltage adjustment (up & down) if they see it inefficient ? is it because the kernel still in beta thus come with tweak utility ?
Yeah, there is definitely something awkward going on. I took my phone out of airplane mode this morning and started viewing FB for a couple minutes; a battery that was at 98% is now somehow at 92%. It's definitely on and off. I wasn't even watching any videos or anything like that.
Would all the apps that are in ram be sucking juices this badly? I had to terminate a lot of em just a minute ago. Or, is this thing somehow giving me a false charge reading? Battery seemed to charge faster than usual last night.
I'm not even fully certain the devs read these question forums at times.
I'm runnng the international XXDMB6 based ROM on mine and currently, I'm at 76% with only an hour and 3 minutes of screentime?
I don't use Wi-Fi.
My LTE signal is rather poor.
My screen generally stays around 50% but it's on auto.
Of course I let my apps sync. But that's pretty much just gmail and facebook.
I have my weather set to sync once every hour.
I uninstalled the apps that are pretty much bloat (flipfonts, the hubs, the samsung live wallpapers, musicFX since I use DPSManager, Samsung's music app and that's all I can think of)
I'm running Perseus's kernel with about 200-350mV undervolts.
Is it truly the poor LTE signal that's taking such a toll on my battery life? I used to average 5-5.5 hours before my battery dies. Now I'm betting I'll only get around 4. When I had Verizon, the power draw from LTE was unnoticeable from 3G. Is it really that different on GSM phones?

Battery life is very noticable with lte. Reason being that volte doesnt exsist yet so two or more radios jeed to be active at the same time.

I found Battery Drain Analyzer helpful. I kept it running for a couple of months and was able to determine which apps consume the most power (widgets, by far). But, after having spent hours trying different underclocking configurations without success, I ended up buying three extra batteries. It's really awesome to not have to worry about it. I just keep them in my pocket and swap them out as needed. It's not a very technologically advanced solution, but, it sure is effective. I use this Charger for the spares. It takes a long time to charge the batteries, but charges them fully to 100%, whereas, charging the battery in the phone doesn't seem to work as well.
Hi good day guys, I have a problem with my phone I just got it last month and everything was great and then one day I noticed that when I am using my phone while charging (playing or watching videos) my battery keeps on draining. I tried my wife's note2 charger and it didn't help at all. Last night I tried charging my phone while turned off, the charge was 16% before I go to bed and when I woke up and turned on the phone the charge was 41% that was 10pm to 8am. What's the problem here? The battery or my phone? Thanks in advance.
I'm all stock. Not even rooted.

I'm having the same issue. Are you on custom rom? I bought my phone brand new from T-mobile. Sometimes it charges alright, sometimes super slow. One night, I went to bed around 2am (phone @ 60%). Woke up @ 9am and was only charged to 80%. Something is definitely up as I used the stock Note 2 adapter + cable.
Recently, I was experiencing super slow charging still and I installed some widgets that monitor the charge intake. I'm indeed receiving 1600-1800 mA, but it feels like this phone is taking forever to charge up even though receiving adequate charge. Basically if I use the phone / play games while on charger charging @ 1600+ mA, my battery would still drain down.
Weird thing is plugging into my desktop charging @ ~500mA was faster than wall @ 1600+mA.
Maybe the charger...the note 2 charger is slow...actually is the cable...iam using htc one x+ my supplied chow charger is fast...my friends galaxy s3 when charge from htc charger is fast...and I bought the original note 2 charger...1 hour= 10%...I think samsung use the cheap cable...that's why
