I'm a bit confused here and hope someone can clear it up for me. Some of the reviews are saying the battery life is under eight hours. However the review from Androidpolice is saying he got 22hrs heavy use and with normal use it could be almost 2 days. Can someone tell me what the battery life is really like?
I suspect the shorter times are referring to performance in a battery run down test where a HD video is put on a loop and played until the device dies.
I have only had mine for 2 days and this is not normal use because of downloads etc... but I believe I'm getting 8-10 hours out of the 2014 edition where I was getting 6-8 hours out of last years Note 10.1. I still have last years model as it is going to ebay soon so I know there is an improvement!
I'm hoping it lasts 9-10 hours at least. Coming from an iPad, I have a feeling the battery life will be one of the worst things about android for me.
I'm getting around 8h. battery life
really enough juice for me
Hello, i am a engineering student and i am very happy about my Battery life.
I Use my P-605 to take notes in the university.
For example, on a day with three lectures.
First Lecture, i use LectureNotes to mark something in the PDF scriptum and write down a few notes.
Second and third, creating a whole Entry which causes that the screen is nearly 95% of the 1,5h Lecture active.
After that, driving home with the bus with listening to music and checking facebook and xda.
The Energy saver made was enabled (because it was implemented for Such reasons) and screen on Auto (+0, +1).
After that day, 70%, not bad, or not?
I used some of the tricks mentioned here in an xda threat to increase the Batterytime.

That's about what I get of screen on time.
At this exact moment I'm on pace for about 9 and a half hours with 2 days on time

8-9 hours screen time is what mine gets. This is with a 1 minute time out and 20% brightness. If you use the default 30 second time out and auto brightness, you may be able to squeeze out another hour or so.
Go by screen time and not total uptime. One person's "heavy use" is someone else's "casual". I'll use the Note for 5 or 6 hours straight. That will get me down to 30% or thereabouts. As such, I'll never get 2 days out of it or an iPad.
Playing any type of game, even ones that aren't graphically demanding like clash of clans or plants vs zombies 2 drains the battery very very fast, i could lose 50% in 2-3 hours.
Just about hitting 8 with all the extras disabled and just browsing the web and youtube

it really depends on what you do. i watch movies using plex, browse, play games for about 4 hours a day. i recharge my tablet every 3 days. at the time it still has 20%. also note that when it is in stand by mode it loses some charge
Hi folks, i am considering buying this device and looked the whole forum but did not find any info about the battery life ? How long does your 10.1 last with different activities (Browsing, gaming, video and etc.) ?
I had a small 8'' tablet which lasted about 1.5 hours and really hate it. That's why i want to know what i can expect from this device.
Thank you in advance.
Why not change the battery with a more powerful one? Today's battery is so cheap.
The Note doesn't have a user changeable battery... Most tablets don't....
To answer your question, a lot of reviews indicate an average battery time of about 7-12 hours of medium to heavy use. I think I saw somewhere that a video loop test managed around 9-10 hours. 720 p mp4 movie
Check the reviews at
endgadget.com and androidpolice.com
I posted this in another thread asking about battery life:
I was just in an 8-hour class where I used S-Note extensively. (From 8:30a to 4:30p.) I took around 20 pages of notes. When I wasn't actively taking notes, I was experimenting with the features of S-Note and the tablet in general since it's pretty new to me, as well as browsing the web, Facebook, etc. When the class started my battery was at 83% (I didn't plug it in until very late last night and didn't turn it off while it charged, so it wasn't fully charged when I left home this morning). As of now, over 45 minutes after the class, my battery is at 53%. My screen brightness has been around 25% all day which was plenty bright in a brightly lit room.
We did have a half-hour lunch, and a couple breaks during which the screen was off. But, not too shabby, if you ask me.
I'm finding my battery life to be pretty fantastic.
Depends on what you do with the tablet, if you play games, or use a lot of data, it can drain pretty quickly about 5-6 hours, if you do light stuff like watch videos/take notes/read, it'll probably last 10 hours
Hi guys, is this battery the best and highest quality for our tablet?
What are your experiences ... lasts the same as the official when it is new or it is a minor battery?
In Amazon it costs 67 euros, it's a lot of money but maybe it's a good investment. Can you please help me?
Regards

i personally would not go for 99power, i heard it's hit and miss plus it not true 4900 milliamp battery they supply.. You got two options option 1) Get a power bank i picked up a Belkin 15000 milliamp power bank easy 2 full chargers for Tab S 8.4 it’s a bit pricey tough, you can get a Anker PowerCore 20100 more capacity for less price..
2nd options is look on eBay get a smashed Tab S 8.4, ask seller how old it is. Also how much use. You might get lucky as some user are real light user rip the battery out and install it.. That’s how i would go about it getting a battery for the Tab S 8.4. Never would I purchase third party garbage no offence TO ANYONE as my Tab S 8.4 SM-T705 is over 4 years old. I’ve got over 3500 chargers dischargers if I wasn’t a heavy user it would easily stay on standby for 3+ days easy. But since I use for everything for example movies YouTube background playback while web browsing Bluetooth music streaming browsing ebaying amazon etc. battery last about 3 to 4 hours.
No third party battery would last over 3 hours 4 years down the road that’s a fact mate these Samsung apple Sony spend millions on r&d that’s why they am so good! Anyway that's my two cent!

Thanks for answering so widely.
What do you think of these consumptions with these uses
Youtube from 100% to 0% manual brightness 50% = 5 hours screen
Movies downloaded using Mx Player from 100% to 0% = 9.30 hours screen
100% to 0% using Netflix = 8 hours of screen
Off line movies 10% x hour
Netflix 12% x hour and Youtube 20% x hour
With a mixed use I get between 6 and 7 hours of screen.
What surprises me the most is how much Youtube consumes at the rate of that 20% x hour .... It may not be necessary to change the battery but as I am the new owner, I do not know if these consumptions are good or not ...

Are you rooted? Mate your stats I’m reading you have a brilliant battery. i can remember when i had it first I’ve was getting 12+ ish hours YouTube manual brightness 30% but you have to factor in network conditions as 4G LTE use much more power than HSDPA+ plus I don’t use Wi-Fi.
I have unlimited data plan, so i couldn’t tell you Wi-Fi playback times, ive never used Wi-Fi since I purchased it. Been pure mobile network, I do believe Wi-Fi will give you more battery time if you put in flight mode and just turn on Wi-Fi. My network is awesome 70+ meg download 40+ upload if in the right spot..
Mate your battery is fine easy good few years before you see some real battery drops but that’s if you’re a super heavy user moderate use easy 3+ years before serious battery drops like me..
I can remember YouTube background playing all night sometime screen would stay on other times off I can remember if I hadn’t slept for good few days I catch up with my sleep YouTube would be playing all night 13+ hour straight I would wake up still have around 20+ percent battery left of a single charge..
If you’re rooted you can check discharges and charges via PHONE INFO App play store android robot green colour he is that’s the icon for the app.

I'm not root and the tablet is second-hand. He has 2 and a half long years, that's what his previous owner told me. I think it really is 3 years ... The use that gave that person was YouTube and some series or movie and did not use it every day, hence it is still a consistent battery.
The other day I was watching 2 movies and a chapter of netflix off line, total 5 hours of screen at 50% ... This left me astonished and especially the little expense of mx player, 10% every 1h 5 m. I remember that a movie consumed me 20% x 2 hours 15 minutes, very well. What I do not understand is the reason why YouTube consumes so much, 20% an hour. I use Youtube vanced, og Youtube and the 2 consume the same, the official also but I have it frozen. Yesterday
I installed disable package pro and I have 150 frozen apps, all of Samsung dead ... Use nova launcher and few apps, about 30 as much. I also use greenify to sleep apps outside the playstore that I prefer not to run in 2 plane, typical of series, sports and so on. At rest my deep sleep is perfect, 99% in airplane mode and with 97% wifi, also excellent and does not consume more than 2% every 24 hours of sleep. I have read a lot about the consumption of this fantastic tablet and the truth is that I am very happy if I use it for multimedia, but if you use social networks and so on, the battery goes down very fast, I guess it is due to lack of software optimization, none of the games. A great improvement and I've finally stopped having restarts or flashes on the screen using high performance mode, saving mode all right but the tablet had lag with the savings ... It has been freezing all that from Samsung and goodbye to the restarts so annoying .... Do you know that every time I opened YouTube the tablet was meeting and the screen was blinking? I think many say that it is a bad battery but in my situation it has been a software issue ... hmmm touchwiz is a burden! ...
Then I think I'm going to stay still with the theme of the battery and according to what you have explained to me I can be very calm and happy because to watch movies off line and series of netflix or amazon video gives me many hours and that is the main reason for my purchase, its fantastic amoled screen falls in love. I had a Huawei M3 but its ips screen to see dark media of the style terror, intrigue and so on was somewhat poor compared to the amoled ... I also want to emphasize that I use a mod version of netflix since the officer consumes me a lot, double to chapter and the same with Amazon video, I use an app from 2 years ago, the latest version consumes 25% at screen time, crazy ... Then the issue is clear, install apps from the marshmallow era, consume less and are adapted for android 6. Then you think my battery is still good today?
PS
To put twrp is easy. How, through Odin? I would like to have the possibility if I ever need a higher version of MM, I think there is an Oreo rom ... The idea is to have twrp without root to leave it like that but to be able to flash in the future

That's what I did to save my T800. The parts for the T800, like the mainboard, were _ridiculously_ expensive, but then I found another one with a broken screen on ebay for the price of a mainboard, and it served as a donor for the mainboard, battery, and other parts. We'll see how long the donor battery lasts..

Hi guys,
I bought this Newpower99 battery and I must admit that it is a very good battery.
In my first load cycle using the tablet to watch Youtube, online series, Netflix, Amazon video and surfing with very good brightness to enjoy this magnificent screen amoled, I got 8 hours of screen with 22% still battery. I am very happy with this duration and also say that the blinks and restarts have disappeared. Without a doubt it is an excellent battery, despite costing 50 euros is still a smart purchase. The others that are for sale in EBay cheaper, do not deserve any investment
This is what I can tell you today, later with the passage of the months, I will give more information.

I can definitely confirm that this Newpower 99 is an excellent battery and that its price, even being high, is a safe investment. This consumption is all multimedia, Netflix, droid series, etc. Half off line, half on line. Never in saving mode and with good brightness
