I read about Note's battery life before I've bought it . I saw that most users hardly gets more than 3 hours.
I had earlier SGS 2 and I flashed it more times than anybody else to reach better battery life, but always stock wins

-1 , do you want that I take photos from diferent angles?
the distribution of battery life is dispersed around 3 hours of actually using the device with all radios on, and no black screen. your someone that has a battery that doubles that, the odds of that statistically happening are next to none. Your not fooling anyone here.

Im a new N7000 owner as well as of today (the Exynos chipset, coouldnt resist) and like you, i tend to stick to stock Roms and Kernels.. a choice of nerves not a mis-trust of the boys and girls who do this amazing work. A couple of things Ive learned:
- These specs look impressive, but If youve just flashed your Rom, ide give it 2 or 3 full charges and discharges to settle down before you start shouting about custom roms being incomparable to STOCK, you might not like whats said back to you. If Ive learned anything at all about being on XDA is that you never take anything as "Amazing" when it comes to a stock Rom.
Enjoy your N7000, Im looking forward to mine as well.. hehe
Cheers

Just been online and read a few posts about Android 2.3.4 updates on the Nexus, which allegidly suffered from the infamous 2.3.3 battery drains.
But unless i'm mistaken, according to what I have read online the 2.3.4 has not fixed this issue.
Example: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=6e382d186ba3dcd6&hl=en

You can check this out http://www.gsmarena.com/android_234_gingerbread_leaks_for_the_samsung_galaxy_s_i9000-news-2761.php
An update although it's for galaxy S. All I'm picking up from the comments is speed. You shouldn't compare other phones with 2.3.4 as it's all down to the manufacturers on how they implement fixes to the ROM. Nexus S has more support so I wouldn't compare the two.

Many have confirmed with the SGS1 that Android OS bug is now gone in their 2.3.4 firmware. So if thats the case, I only seem to have bad battery drain when I check battery stats and Android OS is taking up 80% of battery drain - even more than display time. Apparently 2.3.4 should be helping take care of that. We will see though. Until then, I think all we can do is cross our fingers and not assume that it will or will not take care of battery drain and will see when it comes.

I heard what he heard and the folks on the SGS1 forum seem happy. What any of us have "heard" is really irrelevant since none of it has been tested on a SGS2. We'll find out soon enough when 2.3.4. gets released.
I bet just putting a new version number on the same release and claiming it improves battery life would anyway have dozen of ppl claiming how much better their battery has become.
Battery is very very subjective ;-)
Personally checking the Android OS time I doubt I would get a lot more battery life from the SGS2 even if it wasn't there. Probably 3h more if the phone is on standby after 3 days, yes, but when using it, 10min?
2.3.4 Leaked Firmware is out for Galaxy S. It still has the Battery Drain Problem.
oooo thats bad ,i wont upgrade it till everyone say good thing about 2.3.4,staying with 2.3.3 for the moment lol cant face a bad battery problems not when im listening lots of music for many hrs
even though it might not completely fix the battery drain problem, I believe 2.3.4 will at least improve battery life across the board.

Just because you have some sort of problem, you shouldnt assume everyone does. We all set up our phones quiet differently, which means some are set up better than others. Some on custom, some on stock.
So please try not to make sweeping generalisations.

Well, you still do have this problem. Just because for your set-up and phone usage it doesn't manifest itself as strong as for others that doesn't mean it isn't there.
It's a general bug in Android in combination with the SGSII so it's on your phone too.

Villain 1.4 good battery life .
Multiple flashing of roms degrades battery life unless you reset battery stats and give the battery time to readjust + 80 %of battery drain is user apps /rogue aps constantly trying to connect /wake phone .

I reset the bat every time that i do a flash when reach 100 %

WOW.....your device is so hard work, but I would like to know you whether open the auto-sync?! you can download the app for Juicedefender or Green Power to control the data/ Wifi, it can save power.
I use Lite'ning V1.5 and use Juicedefender for my Galaxy S II, it can work for 2 days for one charge
stock KF3 works great for me. You shouldn't need a special ROM to get decent battery time.
What is the display on time when the battery is getting close to empty? That tells a lot how you use the phone.
In the past i got a lot of Screen 65 %
Now android ios is taking 45 %....

Btw what is your best rom regarding power consuption ?
Must admit the battery on this SGS2 is a bit of a pain.
It takes all day to charge from 20% to FULL then about half a day to drain back to about 20%...
my Iphone 4 I have just sold, would charge up to full in a couple of hours and last all day.
I am doing pretty much the same things

How do you get your Android OS to be so low. My note is always around 25% to 30%. Do you think I have something running that's draining my battery? I do know that I'm not getting anywhere near the battery life you guys are saying you are getting.

he could have disabled all animations, force-closed processes, etc.
I have bluetooth running eight hours a day, streaming music for four to five of those to it, at least three to four hours of reading massive PDFs (textbooks), ppts, and word documents, WIFI on whenever available, etc.
I've gotten 10-13 hours without too many issues. The 10 was with a LOT of screen time, wifi or data running always, and bluetooth running always.
It also depends how you charge your battery. I make sure to fully charge my battery, and then run it into the GROUND (eg note powers off completely) before I plug it back in. Every time. You get maximum capacity that way, there's a name for this, but I can't remember what.
Anyway, battery 101. Kill processes, disable unneccesary services, use WIFI when you have it, disable everything you don't need, disable sync if you want/need to, disable gps, animations, and especially use minimal screentime. I don't see why the note wouldn't pull at least 36 hours if it was left in airplane mode the whole time.
Actually I was just watching movies and listening through bluetooth, thats why I don't have other processes eating my battery but I didn't do anything special..just straight 6 hours of watching movies using mobo player..
But I noticed that using mobile data to surf the net would drain my battery faster, so try to use wifi whenever available..
Everything about my setup is stock, only de-odexed to manually install my language..
Also noticed that when my phone left idleing, there will be Android OS drain in my battery usage, wigh "suspend" and "events0" showing in BetterBatteryStats but I still didn't figure out how to solve that..

I've been pondering over whether or not to upgrade to ICS now as the german version is released. My question is whether or not the battery life is similar to what you get with gingerbread. I've attached an image of what i get on a normal day, when i am at work and use my phone normally and not when i am sitting at home and never let my phone hit deep sleep!
Sure you get a lot of added features but battery life is what i really care about at i need to go sometimes two days without charge.
Got around 74 pct after 9 hrs of extreme light usage.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
How does it compare to ICS hour by hour? any difference would you say?
I would skip this Samsung release of ICS. Samsung's interpretation of ICS is not terribly different then GB unless you run a different launcher. I thought battery life was worse on the German release. With the added risk of bricking a few have experienced, don't do it.
If you want try the ICS, go with this one;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1627854
With this one, you can easily and safely role back to GB from a nandroid backup. This one does not have Touchwiz and the SPen is not fully functional as it is in TW.
I find battery better on GB personally but not by much when u compare it to the silky smooth quickness of ICS

It's a shame because i really wanted to put ICS on but if my battery is going to die out in a day, will be pointless to have. Thanks for the advice people!
I'm getting about the same, maybe slightly better its hard to judge, yup never use your phone the same each day

I've attached an image of what i get on a normal day, when i am at work and use my phone normally and not when i am sitting at home and never let my phone hit deep sleep!
Sure you get a lot of added features but battery life is what i really care about at i need to go sometimes two days without charge.

It looks like it drops pretty quickly even when your screen isn't on. Are you sure you don't have wakelock problems? I think your battery life could be better, even without ICS.

Thats not actually too bad! I reckon i'll give ICS a go and see how it sets in and then take it from they!

Give it a few full discharge/charge cycles to fully settle in.. Mine is improving every day..
p.s. Yeah the stewards really love him at the moment.. He had an amazing drive today though to finish 6th

This is a noobs question but how do i go about checking wakelock problems? I have CPU spy installed which i check to see whether the phone goes into sleep mode or not, the attachment below is my current state.

Weird. The battery usage should nearly flatline in deep sleep.

Well i've just downloaded the app, xda edition ofcourse, lets what happens but judging from my deep sleep time, doesn't seem like i have a wakelock issue.
Any settings i need to change in the application or leave it to run its magic?
My battery life is noticably worse in ICS. I'm getting a lot of odd wakelocks that I never saw in GB.
This is my phone . You decide.

Well, if wakelocks aren't the problem.. Then I don't know.. ICS battery life seems better in general, but GB shouldn't be that different (and wasn't for me me I used it). Not that your battery life is bad or anything, but it could be better. Like I said, your phone in deep sleep should hardly use battery at all.
Well looks like I will have to test it out and see the outcome, looks like I shouldn't get my hopes up.

That's pretty much what I get/got before and after ICS.
I saw quite a few topics comparing consumption with various kernels, setups, roms. But most of those are done by one person using one phone with different setup. Even if there would be variety of people, the information would be lost in discussions. Here I want you to post structured informations about your achievements in battery usage. Please post in following structure:
1. Battery life hours;
2. Screen on time hours;
3. Battery type;
4. Rom
5. Kernel
6. Screenshots to prove 1 and 3
7. Special notes, like consumption in offscreen time, and during screen on or some special undervolting or anything else.
My desire to see world records in battery life discipline.
My personal records were done on gingerbread rom with don't remember what kernel and conditions but believe it was tegracs kernel.

test conditions
For a reliable test all must have the same apps and power mangment values.
Too many variables will lead to no conclusion.

To make it simpler, my idea was not testing but rather boasting about best results, records, Guinness book for i9100 stock hardware.

I can boast!
I just hit a new record. I'm on the Bell (Canadian Phone Company) official 4.1.2. I use greenify to hibernate things like facebook and keep them from running the background. I used titanium backup to disable a host of system programs that I don't use/need. I also have setCPU running at its default settings.
Last week I made it to 7d 54m 24s
I forgot to look how much screen time I used but it made up 25% of my power consumption. When I'm at home or at work I have access to a PC so I only use the phone for texting, checking the odd email etc....
If I'm out of town I might get 2 days on it. My average is 4-5 days. I must not have used it too much last week.
I also have an Anker battery in it (as my originals charge time started to decrease). It seems to do rather well (maybe even slightly better than the stock battery).

U dint attach the Main battery screen which indicates how many times u have charged. 7 hrs is believable. But 11 hrs!!
Pls provide the screenshots of those..

I didn't save the main screen, I think those shots were made about 3 years ago. And you just have to trust me that that 11 hours were true. BUT there's one trick here. My phone had an issue at that time, it couldn't go to sleep. I put it by my bed and closed flipper over the screen. When I woke up, I picked up the phone and noticed that screen was just a little darkened but not off. I looked at screen time and was shocked, made that screen... The rest you know. so, you right that this result is out of range.

Unfortunately screen is not clear, do you mean screen time is 7+? Can you mention rom etc.?

I went 7 days before I had to charge it. There's no way that was 7 days of screen time.. lol. Maybe a few hours of screen time in there. If you click on the thumbnail it will go to imagebam and make it bigger.
I never thought to screenshot the detailed screen page where it says the hours you used. I just took that snapshot because I'd never made it to 7 days before (even though I rode it all the way down to 1% power). I also use an Anker battery in it, which seems to give it a smidge more power (even though the physical battery is the same size as a stock battery).

I got 2hrs of screen on time yesterday wid android 2.3.6 wid battery being 50% (I flashed for checking this only )
All time I was using net on edge..
So I assume 5 hrs screen on time wid gb is not a big deal...
Now I reverted back to stock 4.1.2 coz there are several features I missed in it..

Understand you, I also had tremendous results on gb (see first post) but everything is changing nowadays, and after sitting on jb for a while you can't go back even if you want.

This is my personal record back from good old Gb times...
Gathering +6 hours out of 2 days average usage was quite normal....
Now on 4.3 I'm happy if I scratch 5 hours...
Always Samsung's stock 2000 mah battery.
One day i was sick at home and I got more then 8 hours screen on time but within 9 hours...

I used to do pretty good on stock ICS 4.0.4 roms. They never released 4.0.4 in Canada so I think I used a rom from the UK. It was really light on battery consumption. Way better than gingerbread, 4.0.3 or 4.1.2.
The only downside was wiping the phone with 4.0.4 using certain programs would brick the phone so I think alot of people avoid the 4.0.4 roms (and probably why the didn't finish spreading globally).
Wow.
You guys have some good results there.
But 7 days I can hardly believe.
Cheers.
