Jelly bean have much battery consumption than ics or Ginger bread. Remove unwanted apps and turn off mobile data and use when required , use wifi if available.

If u don't use Google now uncheck all items under location services. U will be surprised with the improvement!

I tried doing it...bt juz keepin overnite the battery was drained battery ws around 65% at nite wid data wifi gps everything turned off n in the mrning 14%...can there b a defect with battery??

Surely there are some wake locks responsible for such drain. Please search the forum for cpuspy and better battery stats. ...They will let you identify the apps that are preventing your system from going into deep sleep. Check the relevant forums for detailed instructions.
Also check if your media scanner is running overtime. ..
If everything is alright with u r apps, 9 months of hard work might have exhausted ur battery and it's time for a change ...mine lasted for 12 months.
If u r battery gives 2.5+ hours of screen on time, it's probably going to last another 3-4 months.

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.

Have you used BetterBatteryStats to see what's happening in the background? Maybe you've a rogue app installed....

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.

Thanks bazz,
Haha its me again complaining bout the batt in
Here. Well i did all the tricks from the past thread. Well it worked as in the device went to sleep like a baby. But when i wakes up, only god knows. 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.

just try clean install already and be amazed
at own risk

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

everything is off.
turn the phone off and let it fully (100%) charge . go to racovery and wipe battery data . if this didnt work your battery has problems . I suggest you to put the battery in a freezer and cool it to -20C for 2 hours. after thatagain fully charge the battery and use it . Im sure the second solution will work if the first one doesnt.
sorry for english mistakes!
Try wiping battery status in cwm

uninstall juice defender,coz the app itself drains the battery a lot

try this:
Go to CWM and wipe battery stats.
now charge your phone fully till 100% or charge it for 3 Hours Max.
Then download this from the Play store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=proffesionals.battery.callibration&feature=nav_other
Caliberate (search how-to) ur battery, if that doesn't work then get BetterBatteryStats fom the play store and find which app is draining ur battery (if any). If all this does not work out then change your battery, if that dont work then I hope ur not using a custom kernel which has bugs.
Calibrate battery won't help u.
By seeing your screenshot, i think the main problem is, your device can't sleep well, install CPUSpy to check this..
Your device is awake, but the screen is off, there's something wrong
Set governor to ondemand (the most battery saving governor i think)
Battery calibration is a myth!
It sounds like a kernel wakelock. Please give a detail report from betterbatterystats so that we can help you more!

My samsung s advance gt i9070 became slow n battery is drowing vry fast after updatin

My samsung s advance gt i9070 became slow n battery is drowing vry fast after updating it to jelly bean through kies plzzzz help me xperts....
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda app-developers app
stock kernel tends to act like that.
root and install custom kernel and it will not drain battery so much (and even improve responsiveness in the process )
when I had stock kernel my phone lasted like 20hours - with thunderzap it is about double battery life for me
Even I am facing similar issue after updating. The phone lags little bit not much but the battery is draining quickly. Today when I unplugged the charger the battery was full. And right now it is 52%. The usage is that I did net surfing and one call and watched few videos on youtube. And in gingerbread the battery was 89% with same usage. So experts please help.

Keep use your phone until it is turn on itself (battery 0%) after that charge your phone with off condition after full DON'T unplug it wait for 3 hours after that you can unplug it
Press Thanks button please if I help you in anyway

Enter recovery mode. Factory reset. Wipe cache too. This should solve the problem provided that you haven't done it yet. If problem persist, root, install custom kernel and rom. Search the threads there are many guides made. Post any problem in that thread.
Hope this helps.

Bad Battery performance on my OB.

Hey folks! I have recently started observing that my phone is consumimg excessive battery. I really cant seem to understand the cause, but for sure, I know there is an issue unknown to me. As I can see and observe, the situations I've faced are as follows:
1. When fully charged and unplugged, usage on wi-fi, screen on and some music leads to empty battery in almost 2 hours sharp.
2. When fully charged and unplugged, wi-fi off, sync off, GPS off, data off and literally everything off including the screen, then from 100% charge to 25% charge in 8 hours.
3. When I use the phone, as mentioned in point 1, suppose the phone discharges from 100% to say 60% in 40 minutes, the thing I do is turn the screen off. Then as soon as I do this, the battery level rises up until I turn the screen on again. Funny! :/ xD
4. Now the final case is this. When I turn of the phone at suppose 20%( probably unreal charge stats), connect it to a charger, and then while connected, switch on the phone, the phone gets charged up to like 50% or so. Epic fail!
5. Oh I almost forgot, battery usage charts show Android OS consuming 40-85% of the charge at all times in which the wakelock stats are an alarming 3-4 hours as per the 2nd point. Screen consumes 30% of the charge and Android System follows
I am posting my battery usage screenshots here.
1. The first screenshot was the one before I rebooted at 20% charge. Look at the roller coaster battery stats. XD
2. The second screenshot is the one showing all the stupid processes consuming excess battery.
3. Observe the difference towards the extreme right of the third screenshot and the first one. The third screenshot was the one after I rebooted. There is a long white line at the right end of the third one which shows the rise of battery charge from 20% to 56% precisely. Bloody hell!!
:/
Kindly, anyone who feel that they can help, look into this matter and suggest me good options to follow.

Umm the screenshots are from the Xperian UI ROM. I dont know which kernel it is, but the screenshot here can help You maybe. But but but, I faced the same problem of excessive battery drain even on the official 2.3 ROM of LG. Every ROM is having the same effect more or less.

Well You are right about Xperia apps. The Facebook inside Xperia extensions suck up the battery. But that is just a part of the story for me. I've been having the same amount of consumption in almost all the ROMS I've tried so far.
