this should be in the Q&A section
least battery drain is dependent on your usage
you will have to test out all the ROM's and see which one best fits your requirement

Battery Life. !!

Bought the Note mainly for the battery (and I have been amazed with it overall) what, in your opinion is the best ROM, ROM/Kernel for battery life.
Right now I'm using Rocket and Speed mod but I've found stock to be very similar in regards to battery

That doesn't help man.
Probably a battery calibration problem... Wait until ALL the battery has drained, when it reaches about 2-3% then screenshot. The battery's indicator in the ace is quite buggy. When it says 74% it probably means 90%

Also you can try juicie defender, search it on the playstore.
Just fully charge your phone. Not when it hits 100% in 30 minutes you gonna pull the charger.

If your ROM drains too much battery, try another, such as droidace, or maxiAce I'm using now, both of them are good at battery as well as the UI.

This is common in Cyanogenmod roms. So, Firstly, change your Battery Status Style to Icon.
The instant when battery says 100% or charged, actually it's not fully charged. You'll still see the spark in battery's icon. Keep it charging for extra 30-45 mins. Also, when the battery is fully charged, you'll not see that spark in battery's icon while the charger is plugged in.

Wipe baterry status should help, go to CWM recovery / adwanced / choose it: wipe baterry status and restart.

How is the battery life of ICS 4.0.4 stock vs JB 4.1.2 leak ROM if compared?

Which one will last longer?
ICS or JB ?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
U got roughly 8hrs of usage from stock ICS so how much shorter or longer for JB anyone tried?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
whats 8 hrs of usage ? moderate?
i get almost 3-4 hrs of screen on time with wifi of JB
In my experience the battery on a good ICS ROM will last longer than on a good JB ROM. By "good" I mean with the same battery optimizations, or being both stock without customizations. However, it's not a big difference; for me, screen on time is almost the same, but the overall time is somewhat better on ICS.
8 hour of moderate web surfing, wifi on, the screen wake up time like 2 to 4hrs. Or I should consider a back up battery?

Personal opinion.
Jb leak sva 5.1 much much more last longer than any ics custom rom i had been try.
For ics, combination of speedmod+any custom rom will give you the best battery life.
For jb, since there is only philz kernel. Therefore, sweetrom v1 and sva5.1 will be the best choice in terms of battery performance.
Try yourself. ...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
both will have the same battery life if optimized to correct level. personally i dont see any difference in battery on ICS and JB
For me stock ics is still rocking. With stock no worries or compatibility issues. Battery life is great talking about 4.0.4 LR8. The german stock ics has few reported issues with battery life.

My Battery just passed the 1 year and 1 month and I have to charge like 3 times a day for heavy use. Is my battery spoiled?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
some china knock off unofficial batteries loses charge like that. the stock battery hopefully doesn't deteriorate that fast. my stock is still quite healthy. but i have multiple batteries that I rotate through so I don't use my stock battery as much.

If my screen time is just around 2hrs. Should I consider changing new battery? Wifi, 3g on. Screen brightness is set to minimum.

I think the best start point is to root your phone and then you're be able to do a lot stuff to your phone like flashing some good mod and/or installing any app like greenify or something like that. disable or remove any app/ process you dont need, change cpu govenor. disable wifi, bluetooth, gps when you're not need them.
and this last one is the best possible way....do not touch your phone.

dunno. f.e., my wifi drain on custom roms is higher than on stock, but onscreen time is bigger. you can always try it and test it yourself

Idk , i think it is cm10.2 color or something.
The stock battery is great, if you don't use your phone at all that is . Just get an upgrade as I did 4100 mah,sure it doubles the size and looks fat,but man I can't use a phone that has a 4 h charge when using it.

I have been using this apk on several custom roms now,it does help battery life but noy by a hteat deal,i have flashed all kernels for roms and the only conclusion that i csn come too is the battery itself is crap,going to start searching for some different batteries and try them and test them.I will post any results i find.

Guys, seriously, disable history location and history report on google settings. also disable find remotely and restore original setting on google settings aswell
(if you want to search and wipe youre stolen phone, use Wheres my droid for example)
You can shurely expect a lot more juice after that. Will prove it later with pics tomorow.
battery life
Hi for the last few weeks my phone has only been charging to 92% after been on charge all night I have tryed different ROMs and kernels but still the same even tryed different chargers and a new battery but still no further forwards please help me
I have the same "problem". Stuck at 92%. I recommend you to read this thread.
You can calibrate battery (reset battery stats) using app such as Battery Calibration. (Your device has to be rooted i guess.) You can also delete battery stats in cwm/advanced/wipe battery stats. It's recommended to calibrate it when installing a new rom.
It might help if you plug it in when battery drops <15% (don't let it drop below 5%) and keep charging it until is full (you can add 15 minutes).
I hope that makes your battery stats become more accurate.
