PolarCell
I am using a PolarCell battery (ebay PolarCell Akku Samsung GT-i9023) with 1600mAh in my ns.
Average battery life got a bit better with it, approximately one and a half hour more, compared with a new OEM battery.

And how much it costs?
Sent from my Full Android on Crespo using xda app-developers app

12€. Thats appr. 15 Dollar. The little Manual for the Batterie is also in Englisch so you may grab one in your country too

OK thanks,
Last question,
Is the amount of milliampere directly related to duration of battery?

Yes. More capacity means longer durability. 100mAh is not very much, but more is always better.

S3 really need bigger battery..custom rom, custom kernel, supercharged, still can't handle the drain while using it.. idle, perfect, 1%/4hours drop. But once u touch, scroll, open close app, browsing in 10 minutes, >10% drop..should have 2500mah like note..

There is some app that drains your battery. I can easily get 5:30 on screen time with omega. I've seen others doing better. This phone has an excellent battery life, if you know how to avoid apps with bad code that drain your battery. Download better battery stats and monitor your usage. You will find the problem.

Is that custom Rom by any chance CM9?
There are larger batteries out there with twice the original's charge. They are twice the size though and make the phone really fat.
As said above, something is draining your battery. Supercharging is really bad for the battery's life btw.

V6 supercharger bad for battery life..? Hmm.. this custom rom & kernsl is by wanam.. v6 supercharger make the ram management better, hence increase battery life..the ideal is good for me. Just the cpu i need more advance control..but custom kernel out there still not bug free..

Ok sorry in that case no problem.
With some kernels you can increase charging speed and -mode

something is wrong with your phone dude. I get easily 4 hours on screen time with HEAVY use, like I'm trying to kill the battery or something. One off the apps you have installed might be killing your battery...

I find it the opposite. Very good in use not very good in idle. Mine last 5.5 - 6 hours screen on time on 3g. The idle drain however is worse than any other android device I used in the past.

It also makes it impossible to use NFC as the batteries don't have the antenna. Got an extended battery from ebay, works brilliantly power wise, 70% power still there after full day of use but no NFC....

Regarding battery life

Hello
Long time Hero user who switched to blackberry and now back to android. I've had note 2 for 3 months now and I'm actually disappointed from its battery level. Not that its not enough. .it just didnt live up to its expectations
Through constant whatsapp messaging only (today) 40% drained in 7-8 hours. . I know its a long time but shouldn't it last longer or is 3g that much of a battery usage?
Also does charging with a 2a non official charger might affect my battery? And with the time frames I have available for charging I can never get a full charge. .does that matter?
And is pile stocking on applications and games affecting my battery? Even if they are not open? (Currently using go power master for that)

Show some screen shots of the battery graph. I was just wondering what was your screen time to get a better idea.

You can click on that little chart to see a more detailed view of your battery consumption. Your battery life is a bit on the short side (compared to mine at least), Im guessing the screen is the culprit. Do you have brightness all the way down? How much screen time does the phone get?
@Shei77
For me is battery consumption pretty fine. It depends of course what I am doing with the phone through the day. For example yesterday after whole day "playing" with phone from time to time I had around 70%. I am chargin it when I go to sleep because still if I have in the morning 30-50% it wont make it through day when I dont have option to charge it. Just to add, I have Wifi and GPS always on.
If constant messaging for 7-8 hours means the screen being on for 7ish hours, you have ridiculously good battery life at 40 percent..

Nah.. its sending a message every 4-5 minutes average..

I'd say your battery life is fine, im guessing maybe even better than mine. Im doing 6h 37m right now with 69% left, H+/3G always on, with moderate screen time and a bit of gaming.
Huh..what about charging?
Also any tips for extending? Ram keeps filling up after some time..is it cause I have a lot of applications?

As shown from your screenshot your phone signals are really bad. That might be contributing to the drain of the battery.
I think your battery life is fine :good: Usually with my note 2 i can do 4 display hours and 1 day or more of battery life. 3g/h+ always on, lumi 50% all sync on, calls, gaming and web.
This is the current on screen which is a few hours after the first screenshots
What can I do about signals? And if I have a lot of apps do they consume battery through background?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Really, your battery life isn't that bad. The 7 or so screen time hours you'll get if that continues, is pretty good!
And to your other questions, charger type doesn't affect battery performance. Charging time should take around 2,5 hours from 0 to 100, if you're far away from that, the charger might be at fault.

Charging usually takes 3 hours for a full charge and according to my charging current its using 1698mah

I updated it just a couple of days ago I need an expert opinion on how good my battery's time is.
^No offence, but without screen on time a battery stats is just meaningless!
So kindly post your 'Screen on' time.
@shei77: You're on H+ and you're having almost three hours screen on time, with 60 odd percent left. That is very good battery life.
'Swyped' from my GT-N7100
Maybe a bit OT, but what I have noticed is that when the phone reports fully charged, Elixir widget still displays 1600mA being charged into the device? Also, when the battery is full at 100%, the phone is still pretty warm! I don;t remember my HTC did that? It was warm, but when it reached 100% it cooled down and was not hot anymore... I tend to keep phone in charger in the evening because I use wifi hotspot....
My battery life is awesome I'm on cm 10.1 rom with uneak kernel, cm 10.1 is smooth and great performance and great on battery life,
I have attached a screen shot of battery stats...

That is outstanding. But how in the world is it possible that you have a "screen on" state without being awake?
I have been fighting battery issues for so long now, I'd really like to get to something as good as what you get...
i get 5 hours on heavy use until i hit 10 % well my setup is in my signature on light use i am sure i can stretch it to 6 hours with brightness on auto and wifi is on most of the time
battery life is never going to be better for me unless i uv. the previous setup, i used cm 10.1.2 stable with matr1x kernel. i uv and set the max cpu to 1350. it was really really good. i can use the phone from 8am to 9pm.
now currently using aosp 4.3, the default setup battery life has improved a bit compared to 4.2.2 stock, but after semaphore kernel installed and uv a bit, even with max cpu at default which is 1.5ghz, battery life has been really great.

I've terrible battery usage after 4.3 update. I never had any issues before but now I get 20 to 30 percent drop during the night when before it was under 10 in the same scenario.
Android os Showing 6h usage...
Any help on sorting this out highly appreciated.
Battery life has increased a lot for me.
No heavy usage, I know. But still awesome compared to the stats I had when I bought my nexus 4

Just out of curiosity, are in you the US/North America?
I had the same issue of losing tons of battery to the OS overnight. I reflashed to an older version of the modem. Most of the people I have seen so far with these symptoms have been in France and India. Must be something about the cell services and how they interact with the phone.
@Calebz: I'm in Ireland.
I've restarted the phone since and the battery usage is back to normal, will see for how long.

Battery Life

Hi this is my battery life, what do you think? I think it's not that great considering that screen time is only about 80 minutes. I am using. Maxwen rom. What's your average battery life with the oppo? I am really disappointed with mine

I'd say your expecting too much. I wish I could get that much life lol.

Why others get 8h of ScreenOn Time and I only 6 to 7h on a normal use day? My batt now has 5 loading circles.

"Only" 6 - 7 hours is not bad at all, I'd say.

Post your screenshots of your battery logs, and see if we can figure it out. I'm in the same situation and complained just in another thread because I see some people with 28+ hours of usage when I got 14 hours of usage max from mine.

Your battery stats are normal. 16 hours which includes almost 7 hours screen time is nothing to scoff at.
If you want pull a bit more disable eye-tracking features and uninstall Facebook (which is notoriously known as a major battery hog, not sure if they improved the battery drain, but you can Google facebook+app+battery and read the slew of complains about the app), that is of course if you're willing to take such measures just for extra battery life.

Your stats look good (albeit not as good as some of the other threads). 7 hours of screen time is pretty great though and I haven't been able to get that and I don't even use Facebook

Check out my stats. As you can see, it's HORRIBLE compared to what you guys are getting. I've also attached my BBS logs. Help guys, what's wrong? I have a 64gb SD card that I am using, but I have already formatted it using this phone, and then loaded about 10gb worth of videos on it. Could that be the cause of the problem?

You have some serious wakelocks. By the looks of it, I'm almost 100% they are network related wakelocks...
Things you could try:
Go to settings > more settings > Network operators. Change the operator to something else a couple of times (you shouldn't be able to) and then choose automatic it will choose the correct operator again.
You can try switching to GSM only for a while ( Settings > More settings > Mobile networks > Network mode). See if the drain stops while being on GSM only.
If you are rooted, search for "fast dormancy toggle" by gokhanmoral from you Google play store and turn off fast dormancy. There are some situations where if FD is enabled and your carrier does not support it, you will keep getting wakelocks.
Power off the phone. Remove the sim card, power on the phone without the sim for five minutes. Clean the chip on the sim with a dry cloth. Power off the phone, insert the sim and power it on again.

Battery Question
BUMP..
I get about 4 hrs of screen time on a full charge. My usage is browsing and whatsapp mostly. Plus around 35-45 mins of some games. Ill say heavy ones (nfsmw, dark knight etc). my network is usually around the 70-80% mark and almost never full..
Whatsapp is the most used app of course. I spend 2-2.5 hrs doing that i suppose on this.
I dont use wifi and depend on a weak 3g signal for all this.
Is this performance normal??
I get poor battery life because my Note 3 Keep turning on in my pocket that is what I hate the most from switching my Nexus 4
