I have battery drain and also installed better battery stats. But I don't know how to see what is it?
Here are some screens
EDIT: Sorry for posting in General. It appears that I miss clicked on General not Q&A
Looks like its your WiFi and some music app. Go into running apps and check for which apps that use music are on. WiFi on 3h33m screen on 8 mins and an audio out for 3h 33m I'm guessing turning off your WiFi will help

I always disable it. It is really annoying
Maybe a radio app like Pandora or tune in radio? I know if you don't properly exit those apps, they'll keep running. Also try going through the music apps in your app info and disable notifications for them. That usually solves my wakelock issues.

Although the new king kernels are a great improvement on my battery, I have noticed my phone isn't going to sleep correctly. I have around 11 hrs of uptime which 9 1/2 of it is awake time. Azlthough I still have a good chunk of battery left, which is impressive, I have not been on the phone that long. I have checked the battery stats info in settings and have a shortcut on my homescreen to running background processes, none of which report anything new. I also checked my accounts and sync to make sure nothing is in a sync loop, Is there an app on the market that monitors stuff like this?? Thanks!
If ur using hulu that could be the issue. I have to kill hulu using astro or through settings so my screen will lock.

My note was draining battery like crazy even on power saver mode, it would drain like 10% during night on power saver.
I did a factory reset it seemed to fix it for a day and then now it is draining again fast, I have all power consuming things shut off I don't know what else to do.
If there is one more tip for this would be really useful.

Some application is messing. Depends how many you have installed, try disabling them and then run each one by one...

That's a good start, 10% on power saver could be a lot on a phone with no apps, but if you have lots of apps its not that much, even on power saver some aps may be accesing the network, if you are connected to a wifi that would eat some battery as well.
If you added no apps and this happens then it could be a bad battery, unlikely but stuff like that happens.

Remember to sign out of apps like Google+, YouTube and Facebook, if you are signed in. If I notice quick battery drain, I'm often still signed in.

Is there a way to know if I have a bad battery please? I'm really concerned.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Unfortunately, I believe the only way you'd be able to really measure the mAh of your battery would be to compare with another of the same.
Can you post a screenshot of your battery usage?
Might help us narrow it down a little. Sounds like a wake lock but could also be due to terrible cell reception
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Do you know your device and android fairly well? I am guessing its a combination of the above stated bad reception and your os & apps update schedule. There is alot of way to save power by going through and changing your notifications and app updates, as well as various settings on the os (ex. Switching to airplane mode @ night or at least turning off your data) so that your facebook isnt uselessly refreshing at 2:18am to see what club steve is at while your sawing logs.

I'm kind of confused on how to read certain functions in better battery stats. I was using battery calibration but was told in certain posts it's no good. I'm confused on how to read the kernel and partial wakelocks. I've read the "how to" section but still confused on how to actually read it.

Post your results and I am sure someone could offer help. I used better battery stats for a while. It is a good program .
Apps listed under partial wake locks are waking up the phone to do stuff while the screen is off. The less partial wakes the better idle battery life you will get. So for example if you stream music for 30 minutes you will see your music app listed there as partial wake locking your phone for around 30m.
If you use Google now, there will always be several maps related items. Basically look for things near the top of the list and then if those items have options to reduce their sync time then that will help.
As an example, when I install facebook, it showed up near the top after several hours. I went into the app settings and changed the refresh time from 15min to 4 hours. Now facebook is low on the list and causes much fewer wake locks. Make sense?

Here is mine today. 6 hours off the charger, overnight, while I was asleep stock kernel. Wifi on.
Here's mine from yesterday with the LeanKernel-JellyBean-imoseyon-droidroidz-USC_v2.1 Kernel, so you can see, the kernel is not the issue
The custom kernel actually shows faster battery drain than the stock kernel 12.4% per hour vs 9.7%
Ok I see

Yeah, I ran the custom for 2 days, and had really bad results, even tweaking voltage, etc, then went back to stock last night.
That Wake-Lock is Google Services. But what can I kill in there??
Network Location
Google BookmarksSync
Google Contacts Sync
Google Services Framework
Google Play Services
Google Account manager
Is all listed under Google Services. I guess I can just turn WiFi off at night, but I never had that Problem on the Evo.
I can also turn Sync off. That might help a lot

Partial locks just refer to temporary wake locks. Apps will create partial locks while they are in use. For example, if you're streaming video, then your media player app will create a wake lock to keep your phone "awake" until you pause the video (usually) or until you exit the application

In maps, you can go into settings/locations, and uncheck all that stuff that lets google monitor your location while you're phone sleeps, this resolved my maps wake lock issue, not sure about the SMS one.

Tap the little orange icon to the right. It will take you to the browser and explain what power manager is. It's likely due to push notifications. You can check what's doing this under partial wakelocks.

Do you have active monitoring enabled in better battery stats? When I had that turned on, that was giving me the most wakelocks due to power manager service.

How ironic would it be if Better Battery Stats was the cause of worse battery life lol... but anyways I did what Luigi suggested and got this:

BBS doesn't consume much battery at all compared to others, unless of course if you have the app actively monitoring but the option should be Unchecked by default.
Also, as the page to the link states, in order to resolve any of the wakelocks causing the PowerManagerService issue you must "Use "Partial Wakelocks" to drill down the applications / services causing wakelocks".

I have noticed there are so many battery saving apps on the Playstore but do you have any reccomendations for a good one

Just install greenify. I have tried plenty before I had Note II, they've had little effect and I often had issues with many of them. If needed use power saving mode + greenify. Why, are you getting crappy battery life?
If your rooted install Redpill Kernel no need of any apps ,
Again for Greenify you need root but this is also suggested app ,
If your not rooted , You could try Juice Defender Ultimate from Playstore.
I'm not actually the battery life on the Note II is very good probably one of the best out there on a mobile phone, was just enquiring

Yes just use greenify and maybe fast dormancy toggle for disable it. It was the 2 best thing for a rooted device i done.

All these apps are a bit useless to be honest. The most important thing is just to set your brightness manually, enable/disable all the functionalities like GPS/W-FI/BlueTooth etc only when needed. Also setting your mail-account to sync once in the 2/3 hours, instead of 15 minutes helps alot also. If you are rooted, you could also remove some Samsung/Android Apps that basically do nothing apart from using battery.
A app to close the processes of application will help also. But if you want to try a battery-save app. JuiceDefender Ultimite for Rooted Users, GreenPower Premium for non-rooters.
Greenify.
You won't need anything else.

What does juice defender except turning off the data when screen is off ? If it's only that you can also do it manually.
Greenify is useful for lot of user and app which use data or process even if you disable synchro like facebook.

I was so lazy to say this. Good thing. Thanks!
Well another point of these Battery-Saving apps. They could make your phone unstable. You can set manually the sync times for Facebook, E-mail , Weather Apps etc. Greenify works pretty good. It is basically a program to put the processes on the background on hold. When you use that application , it restores fast the proces (where it was). Handy for FB etc yes. Although sometimes you can see a small delay (hick-up) when you open a app that was Greenified.

If i have 2g on, i barely lose battery when the phone is in deep sleep. when i leave the phone at nite and wake up in the morning i lose like 1% or 2% max. but with greenify every time i was leaving the phone in deep sleep, i was losing like 2% per hour.
i will try uninstall greenify
Ok looks like Greenify will only work with rooted phones so looks like I cannot use it
