That's pretty terrible even if it's not conditioned yet. Especially because it sounds like you have only light use. You may want to take it back and replace the battery. Either that or you're in an area with terrible signal.

Did you let the battery completely drain and then charge to 100% after you bought your phone?

Take it back and get a new one. I just bought one on friday and even with heavy use my battery has lasted 20+ hours.

Sounds like a bad battery then. Happened to me on another phone. I just asked for a new battery and they gave it to me no problem.
I don't even have full bars and I get a minimum of 12 hours on pretty semi heavy use. I don't use wifi and I get at least 3-3.5 hours of screen on time.

Basically you shouldn't have to worry about battery life if your only using the phone "normally".....

A sales only store is unlikely to have any batteries on hand, we hoard a ton of new and used ones at my store, but we're a repair store...we're always getting folks coming from sales only stores for batteries.

Yeah even when i'm in a crappy service area I still get at least 12 hours of medium use, with at least 2 hours of screen on time. I'm using the stock ROM as well. I have 2 email accounts on push. And don't use wifi

Excellent news, glad it worked out. Where did you end up getting your battery? And if you don't mind me asking, how much did it set you back?

Apps like Facebook would drain my battery really fast. I use friendcaster now. Also make sure your not using the wireless location in the gps setting.

Battery draining fast

My T-Mobile note 2 battery is draining extremely fast its NOT rooted. So I don't understand why isn't draining so fast someone please help. And if anyone is having this same problem how did you fix it without getting a replacement device.

See if anything in the Better Battery Stats thread will help you.

I will thanks

Check the battery stats for "gpsd". Mine started draining after updating to 4.1.2. It appears (for me at least) that the Samsung "find-your-phone-if someone-steels-it" was behaving badly.
If this is the case for you. Switch the service/function of and notify Samsung.

How many hours do you get when your battery is draining fast?

My stock phone started to drain fast as well. Within 6 hours unplugged I see myself having only 60 percent remaining with barely an hour screen on time. I tried to narrow it down to a rogue app but it seems the OTA was more plausable and easier to blame lol
Now back to using Jedi again.

It's called DIVE and does more than just recover lost phones, it is a management suite, not that I've spent a lot of time on it so far.

Are you sure Dive and the remote control functions are supported on our phone?

My phone isn't rooted. And Im new too this so I'm a little bit lost on what to do. Before that T-Mobile update I would get 24hrs+ but I'm lucky enough too get 8hrs and that's without heavy use

That's not it ever since this multiwindow update battery life has diminished. I can't figure it out. Like right now all I did is a little bit of fb twitter Tapatalk gps music and thats it and its at 38% unplugged since 6 hrs and on screen time is 2 hrs.

I turned off the multi window under settings cause I rarely use it and ive been unplugged for 9 hrs and have 56% left I also am syncing manually. Hopefully this will help

Yea multi view does seem to contribute to see extra drain. But as I see it my phone lasts all day no matter what I do to it. I've never EVER had to say...dang where's my charger. Not with this phone. It's perfect for me . I use it HEAVILY
I trade commodities so I'm constantly on the Internet and syncing prices all day long. I don't use wifi. Ever

Its easily achievable on this phone. Also the screenshot lacks screen on time which determines overall battery life

Don't want to be a smart arse but it looks to me that each time you battery is going up your phone was switched off or in flight mode. Voltage on your battery is slowly recovering as the load eg. Screen, wifi, network is switched off. It make sense to me

Emmm nop. Except for, may be at 1 or 2 places, it may seem like that. However if u look at the screen shots, almost all of them have the battery life bar increasing with my phone in normal/sim working mode. Don't know whats casuing this. And bdw yesterday I reached 6h 49m SOT with 17% remaining. This means it would have easily given over 7.5 and under 8 hours SOT. Toooooo good battery life on stock kernel.

Ahan. May be your back-to-life-from-sleep-mode logic does apply to your SC but not mine. See my SC. It's increasing regardless of flight mode on or off.

it does the same to me seems normal

Note 2 horrbile battery drain

Yo!
I hope im posting this in the right thread. Im experiencing bad battery drainage. I will charge my phone at least 3 times a day. Once fully charged it will last usually 2 hours if im on it off and on. Until it hits 30% then it will turn my radio off, and i will have no connection. So i restart my phone and it will come back on with 2%! UGH! Ive tried conditioning my battery by draining completely and charging completely. Maybe its a lemon, i dunno. So has anyone out there experienced this same issue?
Thank you for any info i can get!

What ROM are you using? Stock or custom kernel? If custom kernel which one?
Mostly sounds like a bad battery to me. This has been showing up more often over the past couple of months. This device has gotten up in age and the batteries are giving out. Even users who have only had the device for a few months have seen this happening. While the purchase of the device maybe recent there is a good chance it has been sitting around at the store or a warehouse for a while.

Nope this is just a stock phone for the moment. So nothing special about this phone.
Yeah that what I though too. This phone is 2 years old and so is the battery. Time to root it and buy a new battery. Thanx for the incite!

If you want to save a few steps I suggest skipping rooting. Just Odin a custom recovery then flash a custom ROM. All custom ROMs are rooted already so the only reason you would need to root is if you plan on sticking with the stock ROM.

We got new batteries after 8 months of having our phones (s3 and note2) mainly to have the old batteries ad back-ups. Have to say that i was pretty surprised at the difference. New batteries were sooo much better!

I am still running original battery so not sure about any replacements. Although the normal philosophy applies buy cheap get cheap. Not saying buy the most expensive is best but those $5 Chinese batteries are never a good option.

What's the best app to use to determine what's draining your battery? I took my phone off the charger and within 15 mins it's down 6%

Wake Lock Detector.. but it needs root access.

Never tried WLD, but hear of it being used more and more. I've always used Better Battery Stats. I imagine either one will work just fine.
Batteries do go bad though. So if it's been in use for over a year, might be time to look into a replacement.
