Hey there,
In case you can't tell, I'm a newbie.
Anyways, I'm currently using a 6-yo HTC Dopod Pro and I've finally decided to get a new phone.
I really want to get a Galaxy Note but I hear that the Note has a relatively short battery life.
I also heard that ICS for the Note causes the battery to drain even quicker.
Have these issues been fixed yet?
Cheers.
What you have heard is misinformation. A bad installation of ICS, rogue apps and weird settings are the cause of people having battery issues with ICS.
The Note has one of the best battery lifes among all android phones.
Note has excellent battery life. I have the LQ2 ICS, and I have no weird battery drain, wakelocks or any other probs

Just disable some draining apps on ICS.
Don't forget the huge power of note battery( 2500mAh)
I'm also on LQ2 ICS =]

Really?
Cuz I hear lots of things about bad battery life on ICS, even on xda.

I heard the battery life was pretty good whilst on GB but as soon as people upgrade to ICS, the life was substantially lower.
The battery drain "problem" of the GNote is like troubles with your Windows computer (IMHO): The more you fumble, worse it gets. Use it as it was designed and you'll be a happy person.
I have a GNote for a few months, it was Full Stock under GB and now is Full Stock under ICS. I use it moderately (2nd phone) and could easily manage 36 hours.
I pick it of the charger ~5h30, 6h00 in the morning and find it at 60~70% when I get home about 12 hours later (30~45 minutes talk time, not much else). I than read my favorite blogs and news papers that runs it down to 30-40% (reading takes about 1,5 hours).
When I go to bed it's never lower than 27-30%
The only problem I have is that it sometimes doesn't go in Deep Sleep and that I solve through a systematical reboot in the morning (of the charger).
As always (even people) the GNote is as good as you treat it
Hey Little Vince
Welcome to XDA!
I have had Note for over 6 months (bought from UK to Brissy) Been on ICS only last eight days or so - and I can report that the battery life is slightly better than GB. Speed is better too - not as much lag.
I have used Blackberry/Axim/Palm before and always got into the habit of charging overnight so anything longer than 24 hours doesnt really matter.
Please don't let others put you off a wonderful phone. It is so versatile.
PS - it always takes a few battery cycles (e.g. three or four days) before you get accurate info. I have had quick battery drain for a few hours after updating Kernel but it always settles down.

What is that systematical reboot you're talking about? Can you explain a little bit?
There are a few tricks suggested in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1649041
I found my battery life was quite poor at first but it has improved after a few charging cycles. Also, I had a lot of syncing processes running (some duplicating others). Killing some of those also helped.

Never had an issue with batt drain, either on gb or ics... I think the latter is a bit better. I leave gps, wifi and 3g on all the time, and am a relatively heavy user... really haven't tweaked anything for batt life, other than removing some bloat.
OP, it would probably help if you told us what you would consider to be decent battery life. That way, people will be able to tell you if it is possible.
As for me, I'm on CM9 and have never tried stock ICS. I can confirm that battery life was better on GB, but CM9 still gets me through the day on fairly frequent use.
Usually fully charged when I get up in the morning (6am), and down to about 20-30% when I charge it at night before bed. This will normally include roughly 3-4 hours screen time from watching movies on the train and internet browsing throughout the day.
Same here no battery problem. I'm using DXLP9 firmware.

Nah battery drain is a real issue with ICS. It's too documented to be denied. Doesn't matter what I think is good battery life, but relatively with GB, it was 20-30% for about 12 hours of use (wife doesn't use it much) and after ICS, it's -110%. Hmm.. I meant for the 12 hours, it needs a charge and then some. And that's crazy since my wife really doesn't use it much.
Anyhow, this completely fixed it for me. Looks like there's a few bugs that you can come across if you have battery drain with ICS. Check the full thread for more details...

UPDATE: ok no. Still no real solution for fixing this after trying many over lots of days. AFAIK, kernal problem that Samsung needs to fix. And please do fix!!
As I see it from the times from BBS the problem of the drain is at standby mode where the battery for the start of locking and outing on sleep it eats slot of battery till it reaches the 1% every 1 hour and 45 minutes like it was on lc1 stock, even I had on GB 2 hours 45min for 1%, it starts with 1% for 30 minutes then 45 min 1 hour and so on till it reaches the max of it.
The use with screen on is the same 25% for 1 hour and 20-30 min screen on time with low brightness, as it was with GB. On GB I had 5h30m screen on with 10-14% battery left.
So the issue for me at least, is the standby aka sleep mode.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2
to the OP, yes battery drain is a documented issue on ICS, with the wake locks and rogue apps (for the unlucky few.. myself included)
i was on rooted stock GB and i used to have a good 72hrs of standby time for the note especially on the weekend when it is rarely used and maybe a good 48hrs on a weekday with average usage (about an hour's call, moderate surfing, facebook etc)
during days when i travel a lot i can be surfing and listening to music and doing calls for the better part of the day and the note still lasts a day with about 20% juice left by 7-8pm
however after I upgraded to ICS LP9, my battery couldn't even last me for a day without getting a few hours of charge from my laptop, i was on stock ICS for 2 weeks and did a lot of fine tuning just to optimize the battery life and ensure the phone goes into deep sleep and still not sufficient. the thing that blew it for me was when i noticed that my note started running at 1000mhz only and not any lower (even when charging - take note i was on unrooted ICS).. so decided that ICS with all its hype wasn't polished enough yet and was not worth it for me and went back to my stock rooted GB LC2
now i'm a happy camper.. note sleeps like a baby when it is supposed to and runs smoothly when called upon
so to answer your question (sorry about the long story) yes you can enjoy great battery life on note be it GB or ICS but you won't know until you get one for yourself.. and like what the other posters said the note is such a beast of a phone that you will not look into another phone again once you get one be it on GB or ICS
I absolutely would not recommend the G Note until there is another ICS update issued - unless you want to stick to GB (in which case I would definitely recommend).
Apart from the deep sleep problem, which for me anyway, cannot be resolved, I've had stability issues, overheating and it even pulls restarts without warning.
The only battery fixes that have kind of worked for me (and they still don't get me anywhere near the battery life I was getting with GB) involved me following a 5 step programme every time I charge my phone, which is frankly unacceptable.
FYI - I've had the note since December and it's running stock everything.
The Note is an amazing phone, but ICS has rendered mine not fit for purpose.
The sad thing is samsungs and android capabilities in finding the culprits. Fancy native battery charts which dont help much, if any in analyzing.
Only best case is to check deep sleep(cpuspy) , and if deep sleep is low check partial wakelocks in betterbatterystats.
Then you can find a lot of the culprits
Good thing the XDA community picks up where Samsung/google drop the ball.

To the OP. My Note on gingerbread had wonderful battery life 16+ hrs. After the ICS LPY update my note dies after 5 hours. To all the naysayers saying there are no issues with battery life on ICS, give me a break. Just google how many note and galaxy SII users on ICS are having battery drain issues.
I get exactly the same battery life on ics that I did on gb, the battery drain people are having has nothing to do with ics. It will be apps causing the issues. Im running exactly the same apps as I was before and its exactly the same battery.

mmm.... No.... The same apps, even after a factory reset and reinstalling apps I STILL had the drain. You say it's apps that aren't optimized? That could be true... but then again, I guess it must be a VERY VERY common app that's causing this because most everyone says they've experienced a decrease in battery life.

Basically, a few weeks ago I flashed assonance 5.0 and my standby battery life was terrible. The battery would die by the time I got out of school which is around 7-8 hours of standby time.
So hoping to solve this problem. I flashed the captivate version of doc's rom and I have the exact same battery life. I have recalibrated the battery many times as well.
Sooo, do you think my battery has gone bad?
And if so, any good places where I could get a spare?

Many have posted eBay has some good deals.
I still suspect that many of these phones were shipped with crap batteries hence the differences with people using the same roms having much different battery life.

Have you at least tried reflashing to stock to see if the problem is with the roms or with your battery?
Not for an extended period... but the thing is I read through some of the rom threads. And if it was the rom people would be complaining about battery life, but no one is :/
In fact, it is quite the opposite...

kernel related or bad battery!!!!
Well i am using Glitterball's latest kernel before Firebird. Or the stock kernel that came with the Doc's Captivate Rom 7.0
Either way, there has been a huge drop in battery life and I do not think it is kernel related, because on the Assonance 5.0 rom, i was running Setiron's 1.4.7 kernel with the exact same problems with battery life :'(
This is highly dependent on how you have your settings on your phone.
1) Wi-Fi constantly looking for an active network connection? At least have it go to sleep when the phone goes on standby. I only turn mine on at home or otherwise need and have access to it. Otherwise its off.
2) GPS running all the time? Personally, I rarely ever need to use it, but it runs great when I do.
3) Display at recommended brightness or higher? Recommended or less is best as far as saving battery power. I like mine all the way down. Don't need/want it any brighter.
I even tend to use only darker wallpapers as bright and lighter colors pull more power on AMOLED screens. This makes a little bit of difference. How much I don't know, but I do know that it does. Sometimes the above settings like to change on you. It's a good idea to check 'em once in a while.
While it's usually always around 60% full when I go to bed, I still charge my cell every night.
I have found that the speedmod kernel is real good for conserving battery power. Not downing other kernels as they're all real good. Speedmod handles battery consumption better in my experience.
Have you installed any new software that might be accessing the network checking for updates/feeds, etc?

1)I always had my Wifi sleep policy on never. So its not what is affecting the battery life
2) Never have GPS on unless i need it. Heck, when i need it, it never works.
3) nothing that i didnt have before.
Basically, I haven't changed anything to cause the decrease in battery life.
Your two biggest drains on battery are WiFi (especially when consistently seeking - any new access points where you leave it on standby all day?) and your display. Could it be your battery? Sure. Go exchange it at AT&T. They shouldn't have a problem exchanging it for you

I've been reading a lot on these forums, and no one has seemed to address ways to improve battery life on the LG Revolution. I just got this phone a week ago and I've been averaging 13 to 14 hours of battery life with moderate to heavy use (applications, e-mail, texting, etc...).
Anyone have any tips or tricks to improve the battery life besides rooting it?
Is it worth rooting it now with Gingerbread rumored on the way?
Thank you all in advance.
personally..GB isnt available with Verizon yet..I would look for any leaks or anything that isnt officially supported..unless you wanna try it..turn BT off..use wifi when you can..turn screen brightness to 50 on the bar..try to look for battery saving apps on the marketplace..just a thought

I just got the Decrapified Rom on mine today, and am seeing some decently better battery life.(i used to get ~12hours anyway with some heavy usage)
Also...when I rooted and customized SetCPU a bit I saw much better battery life. I was able to clock down the CPU when the screens off, or when the battery is low, etc.
Just some thoughts for you

This helps battery life? I always thought wifi drained battery. But your saying wifi drains less battery than 4G? What about 3G?
Check your apps as well. I was watching my battery drop a percentage in literally minutes. I thought it was just the phone, and that I had to live with it, but in my case it was Go Weather!!
This app is EXTREMELY bad - drains battery insanely, and even when you configure it, it keeps popping back up in the running apps and goes to town draining your battery.
Apps like that can make a somewhat average battery life turn into an insanely bad situation.
13 to 14 hours with moderate to heavy use???
I'm lucky to get 10 hours without any use. I let it sit on a table overnight, and the next morning it was down to 28%.
After using Samsung stock ROMs for over a year I finally switched to CM7.1(Stable) last week. But the battery life I'm getting now is not as good what I used to get with Samsung stock ROMs. With JVT I easily got 24hrs, but now I cant go beyond 15hrs with same usage patterns (3G during day and WiFi at night, few short calls and around 50 SMSs, with a bit of web browsing and some online audio streaming). Did anyone else notice a similar battery life drop going from a recent stock ROM to CM7.1 ?
I ran the CM7 nightlies until recently and came back to JVT because of battery life and the hello hello bug. I use my phone as a music player for most of the day and find that stock ROMs hardly deplete the battery at all, with CM7 I was getting the same sort of life as you.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
For me, CM 7.1 Stable drains battery a lot. I've changed to JVP modem and it seems to be a bit longer, maybe I'll try with Fugu kernel.
Looks like I'll be going back to JVT. Idling battery drain is way too much. For example I charged it around 8 last night and by 12 noon today, battery is down to 45% mostly just idling and few texts. This is as bad as original eclair release came with the phone.
I personaly dont find there to be a huge difference but i am on Bell which is HSPA only (3G all the time)
i find i always have to recharge by 4 pm (8 am wake up) but i am a heavy user. I am waiting for my extended battery so i can make it through a day.

What was the last stock ROM you used ? I used to get similar battery life with earlier ROMs, sometimes I had to charge it twice in a day depending on usage. But with recent ROMs (2.3.3 and up), I ever hardly charged it twice, despite very heavy use (more than an hour of calling , GSM/VOIP, about an hour of internet audio streaming etc..). IMO stock ROMs are really good at idle power consumption, I have managed to get 2 days with light use, a full day with moderate use and more than 10hrs with heavy use.
EDIT : CM7 is smoother and quicker; I also like the customizability. I’ll again give it a try when ICS comes out , but till then I'm back to Samsung Stock, because poor battery life simply kills the experience for me. Perhaps I can squeeze couple of hours more with some tweaks, but I doubt it'll be as good as JVT.
I myself have come back to 2.3.5 xxjvt cos coming from cm7.1 and darky 10.2 final..i should say stock rom can have a standby time of more than 24hours believe that..otherwise ics might have a lot more to over than gingerbread

I was wondering. I looked everywhere and cannot find exact confirmation or Review. The 4.1.2 update is coming soon for the Optimus 4X and I read on 2-3 blogs that it'll apparently improve battery life. Is that true? Has anyone tried that themselves? From what I observe on my 4X that there are a couple of apps running in the system sucking up the battery. Will the future update fix this to extend its life? Sorry if this question was asked before and/or I've made a double post.

Depends on what you think is important. My phone is my "phone". I expect it to be as such. I can't imagine Web browsing for 3+ hours on my device. My Dell mini is better suited for that task and has better then 3+ hrs battery life. But maybe if your a gamer or a Facebook addict or Web browser cowboy, you find like people that use their device in the same manner as yourself and then compare notes.
Because of my job I'm often on the go and don't have the opportunity to recharge my device at leisure. It's nice to know it can be used as a phone all day and I'll still be able to call my wife at the end of that day. There if definitely improved battery in 20x after a few services are disabled and be r uninstalled. Prior to leaked JB my device required recharge after i got home. This is how I use my device and the condition under what I use it. These are my results but your milage may vary.
Yes the interface experience for me feels silky smooth. No lag, and no crashes or FCs. Best device I've owned to date.

its not specificly the browsing he did that makes the post usefull unlike some people posting battery charts its the fact that he posts screen on time rather then the chart.
the full charts are useless as you cannot see how often the phone was actualy used.
if i link you 2 charts 1 with slow battery drain in standby and no apps used at all (no screen on time) lasting 2 days exactly and 1 with near no battery in standby and 4 hours app use.
they both look the same if you post a battery chart but only the second one shows the potential of the battery life.
the first just shows the phone needed to be charged after 2 days the second showed the phone is capable of lasting 2 days with near no idle battery drain and gives a verry descent 4 hours screen on time.
a phone that is configured correctly and had good 3g/wifi signal and has 3g/wifi managed correctly, has no apps with adds and no apps that drain battery wil berely use any juice in standby leaving almost all the juice for screen on time.
a badlymanaged phone might drain up to 10% an hour because of adds and poort wifi/3g management/signal.
so in a perfect world (which we should aim for) only screen on/inapp time is important as there should be no other power hoggers.
So I bought this phone 2 days ago and it's running Android 4.0.3 (LG Software v10e).. It's new, untouched, came out of box...

I installed "Battery saver" like 20 minutes ago and it seems to be doing better on standby now, no drainage so far in 20 minutes... I wanna know if it's worth upgrading to 4.1?
