Would really like some feed back from Note users. What is your average screen on time per charge on this device?
I'm sitting on the fence between getting another Galaxy Nexus (lost) or getting a Galaxy Note. I played with a Note today and while it's big I think I can just about overlook it's size. Anyway, I used to get about 3-4 hours with my Nexus. I'm sure you guys are getting a lot more with your Note's.
Please comment.
Over 70 views and not a single person can tell me their average on screen time? lol okay.

Well this really equates to the number of running apps etc.
But on an average Display accounts for almost 65-70% of battery drain and on a whole with moderate use my phone lasts more than a day ~ 28 hrs.
Samsung does have settings which optimizes the screen display to consume optimum power.
Cheers
Average 4-5 hrs. There are other people in this forum who have reported this too.
Also note: it would totally depend on the apps running, signal strength etc

I EASILY get 4 hours, I can MAYBE get 5 hours. But I'm always between there 3G always on, wifi when I'm at home. Screen brightness at auto.
Put in a fully charged battery (I have two), it was idle for about 10 minutes when I went to the loo. Other than that, I never put it down. Browsing, texting, tweeting, checking Facebook, scouring through Android Market, flipping through photos on Gallery, made two phone calls, Angry Birds, read an eBook...
Finally gave me the "connect your charger" warning after five hours.
my daily use
on stock rom KK1, rooted, some bloatwares are frozen in Titanium backup
screen auto brightness
3-3.5 hrs screen on time, mostly for internet data streaming app, like XDA, Gearslutz, FML, Engadget, IGN, youtube , internet browser
3G always on(HSPA+ 21mbs)
30 - 60mins phone call
2 - 3 hours music.
few photos
LOADS of whatsapp texting
some emails from gmail app
some facebook checking
syncing are ALL on, (google, whatsapp, facebook)
my phone battery go from 100 to 0 % in around 11 to 12 hours.
Thanks for all the replies guys.
I've decided to go back with the Nexus.
As much as I want it to, the Note simply wouldn't fit as well with my lifestyle.
Thanks again.
Rounding 5 hours screen time now. I've played way too much Wordfeud!

not to totally derail from the topic here, but why? i'm quite curious because i'm on the Note now but thinking of making the switch to Nexus...
4-5 hours with browsing YouTube forums. If trolling it gets less jk. But can't say exact because all this is done at work so i am putting it on charge when it is near 20-30% so when i leave from work it is fully charged no need to spend electricity at home that's why we have the work place. So i charging it from every 12 hours or day depends if i will see a movie when going home a 1 hour trip from work or i will be listening tiesto's live cast. 3g always on automatic sync is off, sync is on, Samsung push off, weather app with 3 hour sync. Brightness at low till medium or automatic depends of the mood.
Charge it when you can a Samsung original battery costs 30€ GG
Hope it will help a bit.

Tbh, it's only because of my job and the size of the device. I make a good 20-50 calls a day at work, and since I don't use BT headsets I imagine it would just be awkward having to pull a device that large out all of the time.
Don worry about battery life. 2500mah battery is not for fun
You can always get a portable charger if you are afraid the juice will run out

fair enough.
I get about 10/12 hours a day, usage is heavy, I hardly ever put my phone down, talking, browsing, and refreshing anything from corporate mail account to twitter every 15 min (auto) and every 30secs when i´m waiting for something... now if you play reckless driving (love it) you´ll get about 2 hours...

I actually find it to be more comfortable to hold to my head than my previous smaller phones. I can grab and hold it for extended periods without any finger cramps, since it's a good size for the hand. The included headset is actually really nice, IMO, for longer calls.
Hi there,
Some users posted that they get 7 - 9 hours of screen on time with stock battery. I usually get 3.5 to max 5 hours of screen on time depending applications I use. So I'm little skeptical that the retailer where I purchased GNote might have given me fake battery.
How much screen on time do you 'really' get with full single charge ? If possible could anyone of you please attach a photo (from both sides) of your original SGNote battery ?
Best regards.
I too get 5 hours only when am reading e books
Thanks for replying. Could you please post photo of your battery, both sides ?
I have been refreshing this thread for last 30 mins, thinking to kick hell out of the retailer.
I usually get 3.5-4.5 hours of screen on time as well.. the least I've got till now is around 3hrs.I'm on stock rom unrooted...and I'm certain that my battery is original!!!
WTF I'm not able to upload pics!!!even after the picture loads 100% xda is stuck at waiting for response!! ?? :banghead:

Those who squeeze out 7-9 hrs don't use their phone at all. Your usage is quite normal.
Id say your 3.5 to 5 is about what I get too, so totally normal in my opinion.
im getting the same 3 to max (rarely) 4.5 hours screen on , normal usage with wifi and 3g on all the time....which is very good compared to my desire HD....
i am 100% convinced that this is the original battery ,i think those who get 7 hours time have everything else switched off (sync , 3g , wifi, lowest brightness , screenfilter app ...etc)...
so dont u worry about it
I installed more than 100 apps, and loaded 7 pages of homescreen by nova launcher with tons of widgets. It runs much smoother than Gnex with 4.1 and Att One X with 4.0.4 with similar loads. Though there's still slight hiccups at initial swipes. After the widgets' been loaded up, swipe between home screen is buttery smooth. Multitask button is also much more responsive than the other two.
However, my biggest compliant with this phone is the battery. It only ran through 8 hours with less than 2 hour screen on time today! Oddly, Google map used 26% of the battery when I didn't use it at all. Android OS also drained a lot of juice.
Any idea? I think screen should drain 50% of the juice at least.
Try turning off Google Now. I believe that when Maps and Android Services are the major hits to your battery, it's caused by Google Now. I get much better battery with it turned off.
That said, Google Now was one of the major things I wanted to love about Jelly Bean, and to have to turn it off to get decent battery life is ridiculous. Here's to hoping they sort that out eventually.
Those stats are typical for a first charge. I had similar results at first but after a few charges my screen on time jumped up to about 4hrs. I keep Google Now on.

If you don't use maps / navigation - Turn off GPS, set it to find your location by WiFi - triangulation etc.
Your battery will get a massive jump - I noticed it on mine when make was using juice without me using anything like that.

LOL...that's exactly what I thought. I would think after downloading, installing, and configuring all these apps the battery would understandably decrease quickly. In addition, Google Now is "learning" our habits/info. Give the phone a couple weeks after the "honeymoon" period and I'm pretty sure battery life will get better.
I've sort of come to accept the fact that keeping GPS enabled on an Android phone is an unobtainable luxury. I keep it disabled until I'm actually ready to use navigiation, and my battery life doubles as a result. Annoying considering I have GNow, location history, etc disabled and have NO apps set up to poll the GPS - there's no excuse, but whatever, it's a bug.

If I do this, does WiFi stay on all the time or does it just turn on when it needs to find your location? I usually have mine off and only turn it on when I am at home.
I've turned off Google now and disabled Chrome. I've never had problems with maps. Though maps will start to do **** if you have searched for something that requires the maps to be turned on but you actually haven't turned on maps.
Wiped device, rooted, installed the 4.2.1 image direct from Google, fresh.
MUCH better than starting stock at 4.2 and OTA'ing to 4.2.1.
Not sure if serious, but this method worked a miracle for me. I was going to sell it, but not now.

I think he is trolling.
No, he just hasn't had an Optimus G. That device has the worst battery. Nexus 4 is somewhat better.
How many charge cycles has your phone been through? I think you just need to give it some more time to settle in.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
what's the consensus on first charge? mine is arriving Monday and i was thinking i would hop over to the nearest t-mobile store and get
a new sim for straightaway. Should it be booted up and charged to full, left off and charged or maybe run down from whatever charge it comes with?
To be honest I was expecting better battery life with 2100mah and stock Android but it's really not that bad. It's just average. After some tweaking and keeping an eye on running apps in the background I'm pretty happy with the battery.
I am getting good battery life, 16h off charger at 45% 1hr 49min screen on
My battery life's doing just fine. It's draining a lot as I install all my apps, but that's a given. When I use it modestly, it performs like a champ
I'm not trolling. This is like my third charge cycle. The first one with my usual apps all installed. 100 app is what I usually put on my android phone. They've been quite consistent. I use to do 5 homescreen but i decide to stress nexus 4 with 7 pages. In addition, 1h 50min screen on time is not bad considering it only takes 14% of the battery. Which means if screen takes 50% of batterry, I will get more than 5 hours. That should be more than great. So the problem is why Google map is draining the battery when stats page shows it's not really active. You can see from the pictures that even if the screen is not turned on, the slope is still very steep, that's what I hate about. Why cannot android simply standby as power-efficient as iphone? Some posts suggest that i should turn off gps and let wifi to set my location. I'll take this advice and hope for the best.
Hello everyone!!
I recently bought an Xperia Z, but the problem is that the battery depletes after 3hours of onscreen time?, i went to the store and they too found it strange since it should have around 6 or 7 hours of onscreen time.
They exchanged the phone and gave me a new one, and sadly that phone had the exact same problem( REALLY!!?!?!!), and to top that, it's with screenlight at 25% and every battery heavy options turned off.
So i went to the store to get a refund. In the store another guy had exchanged his Xperia Z 4 times till He got a Z with a battery that worked as intended....
I will never buy a sony product again after this letdown..
And i would definitely not exchange my phone 4 times to hit the "Working-Battery lottery!"
It seems there is some sort of failure in the release of many of the Z's released, i found this guy with same problem

I also have bad battery life, but yet I don't see your point of making this topic at all.
6/7h on screen time really yo? On a 1080p screen... maybe next year. There are plenty of people that reached 5h+
If you want 7h on screen time, get an iPhone LOL! That way we would get rid of you and you would be with the other sheeple.
Topic is useless, can't believe you made an account just to say that.

I don't get it, my battery lasts all day, I charge through the night and take it out at 7 roughly. Then I use it through the day playing games like shadowgun and using social networking sites like Facebook. I also use gmail quite often and I also watch YouTube videos aswell. If I have brightness automatic and battery stamina mode it can last me throughout the day. I haven't charged my phone sine 7 and I still have 13% charge left.

Pretty sure that wouldn't even work. One of the girls I work with just got an iphone 5 and the battery drains like crazy on that thing. She starts at 3am, and by ~8 she is below 15% and has to charge pretty soon after. Then she has to charge when she gets home, and again when she goes to sleep.
Meanwhile, I am one of the heaviest power users I know of, I use my phone for work (flashlight, camera, calendar, calculator, barcode scanner), frequently check facebook, ragecomics reader app, general web browsing and play store browsing, small downloads eg mp3, apps, flashable .zip tweaks from here, frequently check simpsons tapped out, play some dead trigger, watch about 30 -60 mins of movies, receive a few calls and texts, maybe 10-20 mins of music playback. Out of habit I normally pull my phone out every 10-15 minutes and unlock it, flick around absent mindedlu, then lock it again after not actually opening anything :\ not sure how I picked up that habit.
To top all that off, I have my screen brightness set to 100% with adjust to lighting conditions ticked, I have location services and sattelites on, auto sync on, 4g data always on, wifi on but location based activated, NFC on, and finally, also have better battery stats installed and allways doing it's thing as I am also experiencing some rougue wakelocks I am slowly dealing with (still stumped on what is causing audio_out2 and deleted_wake_lock)
Despite all this, my phone comes off charge around 330am, and doesn't charge till 8pmish when it finally runs out of juice. That is one hell of a solid effort as I have done pretty much nothing to help out my battery, and doing everything to make it struggle.
I have only undervolted slightly, and am using doomkernel on KA04 rom. I am not using stamina mode either. Infact, when I was using it on stock rom, I couldn't see any difference between using it and not using it. I can't really see how it would do much IF you had NO wakelocks (or very little). Besides knocking out LED all it really does it disable background processes, if you have your phone set up right you shouldn't really have any anyway:good:.
This phone leaves my previous galaxy S2 in it's dust for battery life under the same usage in anycase (I used to charge that thing about 3 times a day most days).

actually on my iPhone 5 I get more like 9 hours of screen time, sometimes 10. Not saying that your friends account is false, but that sure is hell doesn't seem consistent with any battery rundown test I've ever seen.I can go 2 days without charging it roughly, I'm sure the incoming hate and vitriol for my use of an iPhone as a daily driver is about to pour in from the less intelligent Android users, but this is one of the reasons my iPhone is still my daily driver. That and a consistently good camera.
Cheers~
P.S. I have owned many many many Android flagships and am an experienced power user.
Since when did iPhones ship with battery stats?
Or is there an app for that?
Batteries need a few charging cycles before doing their job properly. It's like having sex for the first time. The first time you might be disappointing but as you do it more often, you supposedly become better at it. Batteries work the same way.

Can't believe you just compared batteries on a phone to sex.
My battery life is acceptable. Getting up to 4hours screen time or a little more from 09 - 22. At this time, I then have about 14% more or less. And this is by alot of whatsapp, messaging, maybe a call or two. This is not using LTE. I find it very battery draining so I stick with 3G. Besided i am on WiFi most of the time.
So as long the phone can do a whole day without charging in most normal days for some people that don't travel alot, I ffind the battery acceptable

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the HTC U11 before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
My best screen on time ever with this device. At least 5h of SoT
my SOT varies from no less than 4 up to 7h+ when at home on WIFI.
I consistently get 6-7 hours. Always wifi at home due to my bad cell coverage. My old Nexus 5x used to get 3-4 hours with roughly the same usage and all the same apps.

Mine is on dual sim, always on 4G LTE,
Very good signal strength in my area,
At 50% brightness with auto brightness ON.
This is my SOT after my first full charge(from 100% to 1%)
On a heavier usage which included
Almost 2hrs of talktime over speaker phone(I don't like using earpiece)
1.5 hours of YT, 1.5 hrs of Amazon prime streaming,
A lot of Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp, XDA app and other such apps as it's a holiday for me today.
No Facebook at all.
No games whatsoever.
Over 8 hours of sot.
I'm happy as they say it gets better after 3-4 cycles of charging are done.
Best I had so far was 1 day 3 or 4 hours time with 7 half hours sot
