Do beautiful widgets and WidgetLocker use too much battery power?
The battery need to be charged frequently, do you have any good idea for battery saving? THANX
how long before you need to charge? i used to have bad battery life, around 12-15 hours, on stock ROM, but after flashing to LiquidArc by Jboogie3, battery can last 2 days before charging
So i just got an extended battery a few days ago and flashing different roms and kernels, and my battery is charging unbelievably fast.
It just so happens that it is draining just as quickly.
My extended battery will charge 1% every minute it seems like. It will also drain about the same.
Anyways, i want to know what it is like for you guys as well.
What are the best charging practices to use with the lithium polymer battery that's in the 2014? Given that it takes so long to charge the darn thing having it less than fully changed seems like a huge hassle and a problem just waiting to happen. My laptop has a lithium polymer and from what I've heard it's best to keep it charged around 60% as a full charge or very low charge could hurt the battery life.
I was hoping I could just charge the thing every night and wake up with a full charge, but if it's going to kill my battery life then I'm not sure what I should do.

I charge my 2013 Note 10.1 every night if the battery level is below 65% and if the level is above that I just turn it off till the next day. It has been working for me for 8 months now without issue.

Yea I'm using a family member's 2013 note 10.1 and the battery depletes really quickly. Also if I'm not mistaken the 2013 model uses a lithium ion battery. The new 2014 will be using a lithium polymer.

Maintain charge between 40 and 80 percent to increase the life of lithium ion/polymer batteries.
Haven't used my old Note 10.1 (or my brand new one) too much, but my Note 1, Note 2 and iPad 4 I keep charged constantly and every 2 weeks or so I fully discharge (=use it until it is 10% full). This way I can nearly always take it with me to some forsaken place (without electricity) for many hours. I discharge whenever convenient or when the battery has run below 80-85%. Battery after one year of use is excellent. Do not use this method with crappy chargers on crappy phones as they could overcharge the battery, which is bad for battery life. As an indicator: Your phone should be cold when on charger and battery full.
I found this link that I thought provided some more helpful info on how to deal with your lithium ion/polymer batteries:

How is the battery life after update? What is the average screen on time? I'm thinking about buying one.
The battery life is very bad. About an hour with normal use. Plus it drains a lot during night when it's not being used. Will a battery replacement help?
