I'm on the CM9 nightlies and usually get 8 hours. Currently on 34% and screen on time is 5 hours 15 minutes.

Been using some ROMs overcome mainly but now JB and I would say around 8 -9 his
now 4 days stand bye 5hs screentime and 35% left
WiFi always on(?) Weird never happen on overcome but yeah still decent

AOKP M6 - about 8-9 hours.

I've observed approximately 10% / hour battery consumption on ICS or JB, although this also depends on what exactly you're doing, and the screen brightness, which I keep fairly low all the time.

I've been using CM10 preview for the last few weeks, and for me screen time is 8-9hrs even with streaming video from wifi.

With cm 10 about 9-10

Average on screen time?

Just curious what is everyones average on screen time for the i9305t?
I am averaging 2 and a half hours which i believe is piss poor...

Yeah I think that you're doing something wrong, I get a good 8 hours out of 24 hour battery, a longer battery if I use my screen less

how is that possible? 8 hours of your screen ON. Maybe my phone is a dud or something. Running 4.1.2...

mine says 4 hrs before battery completely drains

I would say I get anywhere between 3 and 4 hours screen time depending on how I use my phone.
Sent from my GT-I9305 using XDA Premium HD app

Most times around 4 hours screen on time and 20 hours standby. My maximum where 5 hours screen on and 24 hours standby. But everyone has different apps, syncs.

Install BBS and check what eating your battery. Make sure your system runs without wakelocks. Some apps syncing a lot so check them all in BBS.
I'm getting 3hrs if I play games (Asphalt 7 etc) for more than 2hrs with brightness half way up only.... Normal usage without games and Auto brightness to minimum I'm getting 3-4 hrs over 24hrs (including 1hr+ voice calls)

Phone gets hot

Have you guys noticed that this phone gets hot fairly quickly during use? Also seems to suck the battery down pretty fast, too. By product of faster processor compare to the Note 2?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Haven't had any issues. Everything is comparable or better than note 2 with the same usage patterns so far. Going to try some games (like Nova 3) and asphalt to see how it does.

Mine certainly gets pretty warm with regular use. Battery also is not what I was hoping for. I am new to android and the note phones though so am trying to mess around with changing settings and such.

I have a thin case on mine. I notice no heat whatsoever. Also, I've never had better battery life. I use the hell out of it, too. My Note 1 and my Captivate were power hogs, though. That's all I have to compare it to.

Personally, i love the battery life on this phone. Thats coming from an S4. I used to have to put my S4 on the charger before the end of the day because it was in the yellow. Thats from around 740 in the morning til around 6 in the evening. Now, on the same usage, with the Note 3, by around 9 at night the battery is still sitting around 50%.

Wow, any special settings you are using? I am already charging my device today as I was bellow 50% with only a little over 2 hours of screen useage.

There has to be an app running amok, or you are in a bad signal area, or you have every possible setting on to be charging that often unless you have a bad battery. I usually get about 4 hours screen time over 24 hours and usually have 45 to 50% left. Just did 24 hours with 4 hours screen, 2 hours music listening while mowing my yard and downloaded 2.5 GB of data over LTE and had 39% left.

I have a lot of the extra settings turned off. I have power saver on for screen management. Wifi scanning for apps is off. Bluetooth on only when I need. Screen brightness set to auto. Phone is running stock ROM, no rooting. It often feels warm around the camera area. I have been consistently running out of juice by about 12 to 13 hours of use. I don't know....

Pretty much the same settings as mine. I leave GPS on always. Do not use the power saving management features.
Try going into developer options and limiting the number of background activities to 3 or 4 and see if this helps any.

Update. Got mine to 103 F using Skype whilst whilst video talking.
Talking of which the Skype app is ****e compared to IOS version . I couldn't even disable external speaker no option, also when I put the phone to my ear the external speaker is still engaged as is the front facing camera POOH!

No issue here either.....phone is alot faster...battery life is insane....i have never had battery like this with my note 2....i can run for days without charging....great device...highly recommended........you might have a bad unit....you figure they push these out so fast...your bound to get a few duds...i would return for new one.....just my 2 cents.....

I've had no issues with mine but my girlfriend has had a weird charging issue once. In the middle of charging it stopped and said that it was over heating. Thought that was pretty odd seeing as how she wasn't using it at all.

I was able to get mine to heat up significantly by running benchmarks 5 times in a row and then running asphalt 7. Not normal usage so I am not to worried about it.

unbearably HOT
Today I was listening to mp3 music off the memory card and noticed the phone got unbearably HOT and battery drain was around 50% in less than 2 hours.
This is normal usage and it should never get warm for playing mp3 music.
I am curious to know how many have a heating issue.
Looks like mine is going to be replaced.

No heat what so ever.... Battery life amazing and that is with pretty much everything on!

I noticed Google + was using a lot of battery so I shut it down. Phone still gets very warm around the camera while screen is off and phone doing nothing

I had an issue with heat the 1st day. I shut down and charged to full, booted up and never had an issue since. And I yes this phone all day long now.

There is most likely something running in the background causing this. I listen to mp3s for several hours nonstop off my SD card without any heating issues. Try killing all apps and clearing memory with the task manager then run the music app and see if the heating issue persists.

Well, for the last few days I was not happy with battery life and was getting a lot of warmth on the back as well around the camera. Last night I shutdown the phone totally and rebooted. Had a few updates pop up for some Samsung apps when the phone booted up. Today, battery has been quite stellar. No real warmth either. I am at 70% charge at end of the day with 11 hours on battery and 2 hours screen time. Interested to see if this continues tomorrow. I would recommend shutting down the phone and reboot to see how it goes.

Battery Improved Dramatically

Installed the latest firmware for the Gear, light use for about 8 hours today (about 20 notifications on vibrate) plus a 30 second phone call, battery shows 99%.

mk7? I've only ever used it so no idea what the battery was like before that!

Wow that's amazing. Only 1 percent in 8hrs? It usually takes me about 30-40 percent. Im on mkv7 version also

Sorry that cant be right
1% over that period

I believe it. If he only got 20 notifications. I imagine the screen would only have been on a few minutes in total..
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk

I finished the day with 79% left (18 hours); received about 100 notifications in total (vibrares and screen comes on for a couple of seconds), couple of phonecalls, checked the time quite often. Could be a fluke, but will keep an eye on it for the next couple of days.
Sent from my GT-N5110 using xda app-developers app

I also believe it. I've made it through a full day with most common notifications active with light to moderate use and ended the day with 85%

One thing I have found useful is to check the screen on time in the battery stats to compare usage better. On my phone if I only have the screen on 2-5 minutes all day, even with getting lots of notifications battery life is a lot better.

I believe that the gear will display 99% battery at the end of day 1 but is certainly not accurate - if it were, the battery would last 100 days! My gear also shows 99% at the end of day 1 but after this declines more rapidly - can usually get around 3 days out of it in total
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Stock gear with latest firmware, at the end of my 14 day trial. I typically get 3 days battery use, with constant BT on. I set it to update weather every 3 hours. 20 notifications plus 7 calls a day with vibrate or low sound. Don't use many of the apps. Was going to return it to ATT today, until I stumbled on the Gear forums. Now I gotta root and flash

How is your Battery Life? Please put in here

On my first charge so we will see. Please post your battery life stats and pics.

Six and a half hours and it's almost at 50%. I had an iPhone before this phone, and if I used it half as much as I have been using my phone today, it would probably be at around 10-20%. I love the battery life. Screen has been on half brightness, WiFi/Bluetooth off, no battery saving mode on.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Here is what I have so far. Going to let it get to the power save mode before I charge again (IF that actually happens before I sleep), so I will post again then. This is mostly on LTE, btw, as I've been away from home most of the day.

That's good to hear. I've been using a One M8 practically in place of my 5s all day today and with battery saver on (only decreasing CPU speeds) but Wi-Fi off the entire time (just 4G LTE), I'm only down to 48% after being unplugged for 13.5 hours. Looking forward to what my GS5 will deliver.

Coming from the iPhone 5 (had the 5S, but got damaged so I switched back to the 5 during the waiting period) the battery on the GS5 is incredible. I'm just now doing a full charge cycle, so I'll report back later with some battery results, but I can already tell I will be very happy with this.

I just plugged my phone in so I wasn't able to take a screen cap. I was at 32% battery left with 16 hours on battery with about 4 hours and 2 minutes of screen on use. Most of the day was on LTE, but I did not turn off the wifi radio. All background data options were left on along with location services.

not great..barely got through the day with fairly heavy use. 4 hours screen on time.

Not doing so good. It is the first full charge so I will judge it after it has a day or two to settle in.
