Hello everyone I wanted to inform you that the N7100XXDMB2 OFFICIAL Update for DBT Unlocked Germany and other countries was released an hour ago (5:30 AM here in Spain).
I know it's nothing new, but here it is!
Regards,
Kent.
AW: [Firmware] DBT update, N7100XXDMB2 2/21/13
Did receive an OTA update today, but MA5 and LK7. Can't find something new. Maybe a batterylife fix.

still nothing for UK BTU although it sounds like it's getting closer, hopefully, maybe, possibly
this is the first android phone that i've owned where i don't feel it necessary to root it and play around with new roms seeking improvement, however this long delay for release of UK BTU is stretching my patience, especially with the ever present threat of sds
*big sigh*

You know you can flash MB2 without losing warranty right?
Not only is it suitable for your N7100 and recommended but also it contains the BTU csc code. Win win win.
I do Victor thank you, I keep telling myself to hold on for another day .... even though I keep looking at odin on my laptop

Congratulations on the new firmware update and the deceased battery life
'Swyped' from my GT-N7100
So far battery has been on par with the last update, which means there is still a drain. One thing I have noticed into do a few battery pulls or restarts every time you update so I did my second and it was funny, my battery life pre restart was 95 and post start up was 97. Right now it's at 96. So I'll give it a few days before I report back on battery life. But performance wise is just great. Same as before. Snappy and good.

Oh! ok.. i thought my battery was going crazy coz my note2 showed battery at 77% pre & 79% post restart . I'm on latest stock XXDMB2 (India) rom.
Another funny thing i have discovered is that if i charge the phone for a prolonged duration (i.e continue charging for about an hour after the battery is 100%) then the battery life improves significantly. It gives me as good battery backup as it was on 4.1.1. Charged it full 1 day 17 hrs back and with very light use 78% battery still remaining :victory:. With same settings and similar use it would otherwise be less than 68% remaining. Checked this twice and found the battery backup to be good if i charge it for some time beyond 100% charge. See screenshots below.

I gave up waiting Victor and flashed rom this morning
I'm happier knowing I'm safe, rather that than worry about small loss of battery life ... I'm never that far away from a charger and plug socket anyway

What's the difference between this rom and the other rom from asia? N7100XXDMB4
Is DMB4 newer than DMB2?
Thanks
O2 UK just updated my N7100 to Android Version 4.1.2 Build DMB2. Last night I pressed "Check for updates" and was queued. This morning I turned on WiFi and got it. To early for feedback but I attach some screen shots. Took about 1/2 hour.

I'm in UK with a BTU handset and a new OTA update is now available...
Reasons to update
Good reason to update your Galaxy Note II from Android 4.1.2 : Galaxy Note II vulnerability lets attackers (briefly) access home screen apps (video)
http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/04/galaxy-note-ii-homescreen-lock-vulnerability/
By the way after 24 hours I would say battery life is as good as is copy paste - if not slightly better.
Cheers

Just got this (DMB2, was on DLL4)) on Vodafone UK. Too early to have seen any differences yet though!

Please post your battery life experience in here. I am doing this because if Samsung does come here from time to time, let us show them how many users experience poor battery life with the JB rom. Also, let us ignore wipes or full resets since people may receive this update via OTA or Kies and they should not have to do a full wipe or reset to get a good battery life.
No doubt it is better.

I've tried litterally every JB leak so far inckuding the official ones.
I got sick of having bad battery life on all of them, no matter if I wiped etc.
So two weeks ago I put the very first stock rom on my phone (dated may!), and let it run auto updates from my carrier.
It ended up on LH3 and the battery life is night and day better. I'm getting over 24 hours easy now with what I consider to be decent use -phone calls, lots of facebook, whatsapp, browsing and at least 90 mins of mp3 playback each day. I leave wifi, 3g and BT one the whole time and it always gets over 24 hours.
Today though I flashed the newest UK Hutchison 3G official JB as it's my carrier. I'm going to see how this goes but I'm not expecting it to keep up with ICS. I'll be very happy if it does though.
It was terrible on JB for me (less than 24 hours of moderate use).
I disabled google now and installed juice defender and I get at least 2 days and maybe 3 if lighter use.
Swedish ROM is by far the best in battery life.

Battery life for keeps getting better with each jellybean update. Currently on omega v28 with perseus kernel and battery life is the best its ever been. 24hrs easily with 5± hrs screen time.
On Jellybean i get 6hrs on screen at 25% brightness and 16hrs idle with Wi-Fi off during sleep and whilst using mobile data
WanamLite 4.0, Siyah 1.7RC1 -100mv CPU and -100/-125mv GPU coupled with dualcore only at 1.2Ghz and touch-boost for 600Mhz at results are shown above and below whilst remaining lag free
Other tweaks: EXT4 optimizations, Multi-tasking fix, SQLite tweaks, SD card cache increase for internal&external to help maintain speed
16 hours max and my battery is empty, crazy...

Battery life is epically rubbish, as expected.

Hi Guys,
I am on the Three network in UK. I recently updated my to JB and immediately noticed that the battery performance has deteriorated. I used to get nearly two full days with a 2 - 2.5 hours of screen time, 1 hour talktime and 1 hour music and little maps with GPS. I can merely a day now with the same usage. I would like to mention that the standby time was brilliant on the last update I received on ICS. Is anyone facing the same issue. I am thinking of of doing a full factory reset. Not sure if that will solve the problem. The battery graph shows that something keeps the phone awake
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I flashed the french version last night and I literally only got my S3 yesterday too and I can't really comment on the battery life compared to ICS but the battery life is way better than on my Xperia Play... Anyway I intend on trying out CM10 soon.
for me the other way around
ICS used to eat battery faster.
everything depende on how you setup and how you use your phone. it's not as simple as ICS > JB or JB > ICS
All the leaks I used, including the Polish Rom, had rubbish battery. H3G is working fine. Even better than ICS (or about the same).

Yep getting similar battery as that screen shot... Seems to be a lot of wake locks also I have realised even with data turned off it still drains battery as if it was on... On ics with data off I would lose like 2% over night bit with jb data off I lose 10±% battery easily over night... Hoping this is fixed soon... I though jb is suppose to be more efficient than ics?

I know how to disable Google Now, but how to disable S-Voice on a stock (unrooted) ROM other than simply "not using it"?
Like an earlier poster, I used to get huge battery life with ICS by turning data off overnight etc, however now with JB it seems to drain much quicker.
I'm only sync'ing the minimal essential things as before, pretty much exactly the same settings, so disappointed in the battery life.
I made a point of doing a full wipe both before and after the update to be sure of starting "with a clean slate".
Some people have said that battery life should improve after a few days. Why should that be? Is it busy housekeeping its flash memory or something?
Did you try Settings->Application Manager->All->S-Voice->Disable?
Works for me.
I'm the same. Ics was much battery. I have turned everything off, disabled everything unsynced everything and batteryvstill draining at 3-4% per hour, whats the point of a smart phone if you can't use it! My battery drains pretty much the same whether the screen is on or off!
I found battery life in JB to be poor IF my wifi was connected - with wifi off or just disconnected battery life seemed to be similar to ICS. I use wifi a lot though, so for the moment I've gone back to ICS... wifi range and performance seemed to be lower in JB too for what it's worth.
Im loosing 2% overnight using foxxhound
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I get roughly 10-15% more juice out of JB with identical apps and settings.
My battery life is a lot worse on stock unrooted UK BTU JB aswell ... didnt even get 10 hrs out of it yesterday ... doing a full wipe and restore just now but its taking hours to put my apps back on ..
Didnt take this long to restore a iphone or is something wrong here ...My back up is only about 300mb and its been about 3-4 hours and still just at 50% complete ...
To be honest, that looks alright to me. 17 hours with network on all the time? And look at those wakes while the screen is off.
Post some BBS stats

Samsung recently released a software update (N7100XXDLL7) to the Galaxy Note II and this update is reported to suffer from battery drain.
*Owners of the Galaxy Note II who installed the new software update reported us about the battery drain issue.
We of SamMobile have also tested the new firmware and we can confirm that the new update indeed drains the battery much faster than previous firmwares.
The new software update (N7100XXDLL7) fixes the infamous Exynos vulnerability,”Sudden Death” issue and resetcode bug but brings battery drain.
*Samsung itself did not give any comment on this issue*yet, we expect a new update based on Android 4.1.2 before the newer Android version 4.2.1 / 4.2.2 firmwares.
If you have the same problem with your Galaxy Note II please let us know in the comments!

Re: [official] [n7100xxdlk7] battery drain thread
I ended up reverting back to 4.1.1 because of wifi issues and battery drain. It seems like Samsung pulled the 4.1.2 update because OTA no longer finds it. Maybe that's an indication that they're working on it, fingers crossed.

I cannot revert back because I am one of those unlucky bastards that used to have the SDS bug.
I also encounter battery drain and honestly it's annoying. Hopefully they'll fix for it soon.

Did they really pulled off the 4.1.2 update?
Good to know. This update was really bad. I had to do a wipe data/factory reset because even the vertical scroll was laggy.
And the battery is a lot worse.
Yes its true. I have also been having the same issue. D scrolling problem along with quite a lot of battery drain. Just bought my device a week or two back. Worked flawlessly in the first few days but with the latest update has reduced the battery life quite a lot. Hope Samsung resolves it soon.

Damn, so that's what's going on. I've been going crazy at why my standby time went from 0.8% / hour to 1.6-6% / hour after the update. The drain is certainly noticeable and I hope this gets fixed soon.
is the DLL3 better than DLL7 as mine seems rock solid battery got the WanamLite running on mine
Dunno between 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 but I found ll7 better than ll5 for battery life.
I had huge idle battery drain after OTA update to 4.1.2 - about 2-3% every hour. I was loosing almost 20% battery over night with everything turned off. I did a factory reset and it seems back to normal now. It's probably a bit worse then 4.1.1 but I'm still getting 2-3 days with moderate use. Now it's draining 2% over whole night instead of 2% every hour.
I think I found out why my phone drain is so bad. It doesn't go to sleep.
I noticed this since yesterday. I woke up did a restart.. and look! It still doesn't go to sleep!

I too had the battery drain and no deep sleep, sine I have installed the note2core kernel (version 2.4 i think) and oc'd to 1.8ghz and the phone lasts days. No real need for the oc but it is stable and I have encountered no problems.

Hi guys,
A couple of weeks ago, Note II informed me of an upgrade. I did a bit of googling and found out it was to fix some exonys bug. Seemed pretty important so I did the upgrade post haste.
At first the battery life was atrocious (like a 50% drop). The same thing happened with my old iPhone 4 but everything reverted to normal within a week. So, I though maybe things are new and Android will fix itself up after some time.
How wrong was I ? LOL. My phone gives me just a day's worth of battery life. Earlier it was a solid two days. Which was why I justified carrying this brick of a phone. It is pretty ridiculous to see the battery drop by 30% at times in three or four hours (despite zero use).
Any suggestions to improve or remove the pathetic firmware upgrade.
1. Use the nova launcer
2. Auto brightness with the slider dragged to 1/3rd
3. 3G always on
4. The battery screen shows screen taking 70% of the battery! I have the auto off timer set to 15s the minimum.
Any suggestions guys? I am frustrated with this phone post the update. Thinking of switching back to the iPhone as atleast it gave me a day's pf juice in a much pocketable format.:crying:

Honestly you can't do anything. In American english, you can't do nothing!
Turn 3G off, when you don't need it. Keep brightness at as low as possible.
That's all. 4.1.2 drains juice faster than 4.1.1, it's the truth, doesn't really matter if someone agrees or not.
You could go back to 4.1.1 ROM you know and depend on your luck for that Exynos issue. Otherwise give up on great battery backup and stay with 4.1.2, like I'm doing. Nowadays I don't even monitor how much battery backup/screen on time I'm getting, on 4.1.1 it was the opposite story however.
Hey, so should I just resign myself to a gimped battery? What really hurts is how awesome the battery was before.

Download better battery stats to make sure there is no wake lock. I will advise despite my best efforts the battery life has plummeted when upgrading to 4.1.2. Stick to 4.1.1 for battery life. It still lasts much longer than an average handset saying that

After updating to 4.1.2 my battery runs down about 20% quicker overall I would say. 70% for your screen seems severe. Mine is always set to 50% auto and takes between 30 to 35% of the battery usage.

If you go back to 4.1.1.... Stock even....you'll have the same battery issue.
After about 2 weeks of having the 4.1.2 (the second update I received) on DBT my battery life one day just magically got better! I had been having terrible battery life (like 1 days worth) for 3 months, and now I get home every day from work with 50-70% battery. I charge it every night, regardless of the %. But it just magically got better. I'd say give it a go for a week or 2, and see if it helps. I don't know what happened with mine, but it looks like the software just "settled in" because I didn't install ANYTHING new, and in fact, I hadn't even uninstalled anything! It just got better after using it. Do a few battery pulls / restarts, too.
I went back to 4.1.2 last night and right now I'm at 50% charge, 17 hours standby time and 5 hours of screen time... I'd say my battery issue is fixed.. for now lol
I also must say that after a week or so of using 4.1.2 battery went much better overnight. I automatically turn on airplane mode during night, and on 4.1.1 I had like 1-2% drain overnight from full charge. After updrage to 4.1.2 it jumped to 10-20% !!! Now, it is down to like 4%, which is not that bad. Still have to see how it behaves during the day, I think it is not any better. Well, at least that standby drain is (much) better....

Do I need to cheat?
And do you know the counter will reset when you unplug?

I don't want to go argue about the definition of "cheating", nor will I tell you that you are wrong about the counter resetting (though I'm almost sure you are) but you definitely DID recharge (and don't try to deny it because the proof is IN your screenshot )
Great thread
R: Downgrade to 4.0.4 ...for battery drain
Is a fact that the battery lasts half that Jelly Bean with ICS, Samsung has not yet solved the problem...

I had battery drain problem with 4.1.2, my phone would last only some 30h. Now I flashed XWLSJ and I only had to charge after 3 days 15h (still had 7%) and this is in par with what I was getting with 4.0.3. My friend who flashed XWLSJ confirmed huge battery life improvement too.

that's fairly odd. apparently they are XWLSD and XWLSJ are the same, apart of some csc changes...

4.1.2 is not so draining battery…at least i slimmed Svoice and google map(i don't need these),turn off weather widget and lockscreen weather can use over 5 days…personnally google map has a unit that always at backstage and often wake the phone…but the weather is most draining battery!only off the lockscreen weather can enlarge your battery over 25%…widget is same…so i usually on the weather only when i want to know how the weather is…
sorry for my poor english…
loving this thread....... i carry a small nuclear power pack in my pocket (My sex life is over but it glows in the dark now ) And i get 12.2 million years battery life out of mine. (Its that old my dad had it first )
really anything in the order of 10+ hours (ish) depending on if you use your phone or look at it lovingly on your desk is more than reasonable.
Be happy xda'ers
I know this probably isn't the best place to ask this, but my other half's S2 has just been updated to stock 4.1.2 and she is getting horrendous battery drain.
The phone is fully stock (never been rooted, no custom recovery etc), is there anyway she can downgrade back to 4.0.4 without losing all of her apps & personal data?
I don't really have any experience with Samsung phones, I am a Nexus user so I do have a usable knowledge of Android & hacking.
Thanks in Advance

I have to agree with the battery difference on JB..
On average I get around 3 hours screen on time, on ICS I get around 4.5.
No shocker as it's pretty much in the beta stages.
Definitely switching to ICS, until a final 4.1.2 is released.
