There are plenty of threads concerning battery life. Search and read. Download "cpu spy" from market so you can see if your phone goes to sleep allright.
Uninstall failbook or atleast keep it from updating every three seconds or so. Etc etc etc.

I have installed cpu but can u tell me how it works? Very confused on how to see if theirs a problem. My reboots i think are from facebook so ive deleted that app.

To use cpu spy....
Reboot your phone... Turn off the screen for few minutes... Then check deep sleep state in cpu spy.....

Has anyone tried the bigger batteries that you can get. Spotted some on eBay and amazon and wondered if they were any good.
I knot with some you get a replacement back as it increases the thickness of the phone but I don't know if this is a worthwhile trade off.

I used stunner and I used to get 2 days plus with normal battery with moderate usage. Now iam getting 1 and half day with AOKP.
For CPU spy - see if u get deep sleep.
Also chk out with Badass battery monitor which app using the most.

Lol first analyse root cause. In an hour of non activity and not on charger pecentage deep sleep should be approx 80% two hours 85-90%. Figures based on clean rom, nocrapware and no rediculious settings. Thats one, two how long does your battery last when using phone nonstop? 2.5 to 3 hours is normal. 3-4 then you know what you are doing 5 youre a guru.
Lmao
If your cpuspy figures are lower then above then with better batterystats you can find kernel and partial wakelocks. Google them and find out whats keeping your phone awake.

Is samsung gonna fix the bug on 4.0.4 or what?

Hi fellas,
Im just wondering is there any fix on 4.0.4?
I mean the battery issues and overheated device? Cuz im thinking of rooting my device in the end to just giving it a try. But it will void the warrany for sure. So, just wanna know if any of ya all just happen to know if thers any fix coming out real soon. So that i can wait.
It seems that my device is now consider as useless piece of s...t just wondering why would i want to use this so called smartphone if i cant use live wallpaper, push email, screen brightness for my luvly super amoled screen and so on if it drains the battery like thirsty camel. It just a thought tho.... U guy might be thinking the same. So, i did all the the things like calibrating the batt, installed cpuspy, take out the batt on plane mode trick and so on.. , yes it did help the device to sleep. But it drains when im using it for 3 hrs with a lil bit of surfing, emails and sketching .it just doesnt make any sense at all.
Dont you guy think that samsung is trying to lure us to change to s3? Or note 2? Well it did cross my mind. Lol. i might not consider samsung in the near future. I guess,htc x one is my choice cuz it offers 6hrs batt. Hehehe

dude battery life with screen on in clean condition, without fancy stuff is only 3.5 hours. Some with other kernels/roms have reported 4 or even 5 hours, but that's really max
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

It is a power hungry phone,
Large screen - If you've got your brightness all the way up will use more power
Live Wallpaper - Pretty - Battery drainer
Games - Power hungry
etc
As mentioned - you cannot expect to use a phone like this for 8/9/10 hours with constant use, At 3 hours constant use, screen on, probs wi-fi / data, Gaming, listening to music.. you will see the battery drain quicker..
Could alsways pick up a one of those larger Mugen Power Batteries / second stock battery if your usage demands it... I've got two stock batteries but the actual amount of times I've need to call on the backup one is rare, I keep it handy as both me and my girlfriend have GNote's.

Thx for replying guys,
Maybe i left something earlier on. 3 hrs of moderate usage..as in moderate guys. Ddnt hppn to me on gb. I had at least 5 hrs max on gb without turning off thos fancy stuffs.Thats the main issue. So ics is the culprit.

Well then there are ways to analyse, as posted above for abnomal battery drain in deepsleep, when not using phone. That is one option.
Best guess is to do a full clean install of 404 by going to gb through pc odin, root it, get on cwm recovery, wipe cache, dalvik cache, backup efs, save pictures on computer, backup messages with app from play, sync contacts to gmail and then backbin recovery format everything in mounts, except efs,ofcourse.
Then phone wont boot, but is truly squicky clean. Then go into download mode and flash throught oc odin a stock 404 rom.
Do not recover apps/data, just manually redownload them.
Dont ever on unsafe kernel from stock ics do these steps. EVER!
Then download cwm. zip which is temp and flash speedmod k3-11 from recovery. I bet your battery life will improve and you will get 4 hours screen on time. Not as good as on gb,but still better then now
there are threads for every single step here, start in dr ketans thread in sticky section of development. Then tool thread of dr ketan in general section.
disclaimer: you can and will lose data and possibly warrantee

But yeah, thnx for the info again, but thats the problem bazz, i just need to know bout the fix. Tried to call samsung support but they are not too sure bout it. Cuz im willing to wait for the fix but not too long. Currently i hv dis dilemma of maybe selling the phone with stock rom, and buy another phone
or rooting this phone which im not too sure how to go about.

Use the BetterBatteryStats to see what`s going on behind and CPU spy to see what is the Mhz you Note is at.
On 4.0.3 ICS I find my battery lasts longer than on GB.. Strange!

i dont have problems on 4.0.4 with draining or heating...
maybe there is some app .... e-mail push 5 min......

Same here. GNote with ICS 4.0.3 has a worse battery life compared to GB, not to mentioned occasional freeze and unresponsive screen, also broken wifi-direct. Pretty disappointed with Samsung in the software department. Jelly Bean was already out and OTA for ICS 4.0.4 for both my GNote and GTab 7.7 not yet available in my country. Come on Samsung, these products is a premium products, pls provide a premium software update. Pfffttt...

If you think your battery life used to be so much better with gb why don't you go back to gb? No obligation to use ics. I use 4.0.4 with goku kernel and battery life is at least as good as it was under gb. 4 - 5 hours of usage, lasts a full working day.

Okay, so ive done quite lots of tricky stuff before, and guess what.. I hv found the solution for now.I hope...
1.Charge battery with phone turned on until galaxy is fully charged
2.UnplugTurn off phone and charge for one hour
3.UnplugTurn galaxy on, wait 3 minutesTurn off phone and charge for one hour
4.Reboot
And now my batt is coming back to its normal performance... I get around 11hrs 45 min on standby and at least 6hrs of moderate usage.... Thank god. Hopefully it will last..

I feel like having the same autonomy like GB since I went on 404.

lol email push 5 min, dont think you know push technology...
Anyways, those six hours is not with screen on all the time.
Doing the steps I mentioned however will force a full clean install. Then test without restoring apps battery, you will be amazed. Then install in batches or one by bone to eliminate possible culprit that impacts battery life.
Perhaps even better to go to samsung/shop where you bought and ask them to fix it If it is battery they will catch it and replace Less risk for you

Obtained this info from another thread:
about the alarm_rtc wakelock;
install terminal emulator from market and type these commands:
- su ( followed by ENTER )
- dumpsys alarm ( followed by ENTER )
it will dump some info on your screen
scroll upwards a bit and search for 'Alarm Stats'
here you can find the processes that keep your phone from deep sleep

this is my experience too. I´m loading everyday at work, so i have enough battery for the rest of the day

quite good
always on 3g ,1.5 h music ,40 sms ,some surf over 3g and wifi ( during lunchtime )
if i make a light usage ,i can manage to last 2 days , i'm quite satisfied
i last 3 days if i dont use wifi /3G and with second core disabled (i make it during trip)
i'm on CM7 Hybrid revolution by stefan.
I think your phone have a REAL problem, even if i try i just cant empty my batt in 2 hours (even with OC ,screen backlite maximus ,and playing riptide online.......i lasted 3 h)

i think it would make more sense to rate your battery life by stating how long the screen was on and on what conditions (wifi on/off/ 3g/ 2g/ brightness lv/ have you been watching video or playing games/ just typing sms or what ever)
my record was about 6h screen on time at 25% brigtness, 2g, gaming about half of that time. but i suspect the battery is getting old now, since i struggle to reach 3.5 h screen on time with the same conditions and much less gaming.

How much battery time?

So two days ago i bought a s3mini and how it looks, feels and works... i'm loving it..
however, battery time seems to suck... today i'm at 43% after 8 hours.... meaning it won't make it till I go to bed (still another 8 hours).
Wifi has been turned off all day, my screen, It's a black background without any icons... screen brightness on 30%.
Is this device known to have a short battery life? or did i just have bad luck?

Idk. Is autosync off?
I get 20h on heavy usage. (Games, calls, yt videos) Wifi always on, autosync off.
Brightness 20-30%

Sent from my GT-I8190 using xda app-developers app

When i bought this phone, battery life was horrible.Then i rooted my phone and installed SetCPU and discovered that my phone was running in performance mode which meant that processor was using both cores at 1000 mhz non stop - even in standby.Then i installed a custom rom and GoldenKernel and started using pegasus governour with 1000 mhz max cpu clock and 200 mhz min.Since then, my battery can last up tu 24 hours with medium usage (WiFi or 3G always on, Auto Sync, high brightness, 2-3 hours of screen time).I currently have about 20% of battery and i unplugged 14 hours ago, but i streamed a whole HD episode of GoT ( 1 hour of heavy cpu/internet usage, 1.3 GB file).

If your phone is rooted, try Greenify. It will hibernate apps during sleep to save battery usage. Get more info on their xda forum.

[Q] Optimus 2x battery kernel

Hello.
I'm looking for really good kernel for my phone. I've 2.6.39.4 kowalski-exp and battery life was horrible. I used my phone for 4h and now it's on 19%. Can someone tell me some really good kernel that supports Jelly bean and good battery life? Please help

Can you post your battery usage screen shot or if you have BBS installed please screenshot of BBS? That 4 hours phone usage that you are mentioning, is that 4 hours of voice call or 4 hours browsing? or what? If it is 4 hours with screen on with WIFI or 3G on all the time I think that is reasonable. I am using kowalski kernel and I have reasonable battery life.
