Amazing battery life!

Tweaky Rom 4.1 (JVH), Supercurio's Voodoo kernel, JV9 Modem, with Armani battery (1650mAh).
Loving my SGS now.

Sorry but this is not great battery life.I used to have 5days standby with 3hours of display usage and wifi always on in Froyo.But overall its a great Rom i use it myself .

3 hours display usage is pretty typical for me at normal 1GHZ clock. at 800MHZ i get about 15 minutes more.

I'm on MIUI and with moderate use I get up to 2 days^^

No, he got wired to a car battery. The electrical shock deleted his memory and he forgot where he had left his phone. After nine days of not touching it at all, he finally found it and took a screenshot ...

That's on stock 2.2.1 (and it should be noted that the battery wasn't empty, it was at 15%) ... On 2.3.3, at best I got 5 days.

Not using anything isnt the exact description For a smartphone.
I finally topped the 2 Day mark with my 2.3.3 juwe rom. I had problems before to reach at least the 24 hours, sometimes i had to refuel during the Day,caused by the massive drauf bug which keeps android awake. First i deinstalled the latest maps update and undescribed from latitude.i also did Not touch any gameloft game. Wifi was on Most of the time when awake. See the battery historie below

Hey i new to this, i have a UK I9000, that i recently updated to JVO on kies. I previously had my phone replaced by samsung due to battery issues. but my new one seems to be the same. I can just about get 14 hours or so of use out of it. I have brightness set to outo, auto sync on, have an gmail and an exchange email, also am on 2g/3g auto. i am unsure if i should flash to custom? i keep reading that people are getting 2days out of their battery. i would say that not a heavy user!! could do with some advide! thanks

If I am always in a wifi area I probs get about 4 or 5 days. If though 3G is on i've known it to go from 100% to phyically off within a matter of hours even when not actually using the phone.

Sorry but i am amazed from these screenshot.
I am difficulty arriving to the night.
My phone is having the standard battery, with two google accounts setted on sync and i really use it FEW... 3 hours of display? A dream.
I am on 2.2 because it is branded and i really wonder how u can achieve 2 days. 5 days with moderate use i would shot my head to achieve it.
Someone can give me a good advice?
Also, how are u taking the battery history?

Considering display and mobile data are the biggest battery drainers, we more detailed information than just time on. Give me display usage.

i'm using Darky's Rom V10 RC6 for about 2 weeks and after recalibrating my battery i'm on 3 days now with average use.

Gold battery

I found a "2430mAh" gold battery on amazon.co.uk (also sold on ebay).
I bought one and just wanted to share that it is quite good.
If you're looking for a replacement battery, I'd suggest you buy this one. It's near 1500mAh in reality. Behaves just as when the phone (and battery) was new. I also bought a few much cheapers ones ~5-8$, but these are just a total rip-off. They're more like 500mAh.
PS: here's a review of this battery in another subforum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419930

im in search for a battery too. can u write the ones you tried and sucked so we can have a better understanding of situation and sellers

I bought 1 battery on DX. This one was ok, but really quite bad capacity.
The other one, bought on ebay, battery + charger. Battery leaked after 3 months! Capacity was ok though.
This gold battery, is even better than I thought, now I check out my phone. I can't really compare as my original battery currently really sucks and I think it's almost dead.

Can you see the temperature of the gold battery?

currently aftter beeing in my pocket for an hour in a warm room, its 31 degrees.
after using device for 10mins it's 37 degrees.

Its similar to the official battery.

Yes it is. But it's much cheaper I think. I contacted the shop, they contacted the official repair center and got a quote of 60€ for the battery. This one cost me only 15€ including shipping.
After a second day of testing, I'm very happy. After a full day of use (~18 hours), I still had 59% of battery. That including always on Sync and 3G data, using the phone, ...
Too bad I don't have an original new battery to test it. But my guess it's a ~1500-1700mAh.

Hey what did you buy, are you glad? Can you give the link

Received my gold battery tonight. Will give a review in a few days.

Hey guys, can you give me a link from either ebay or amazon for this battery?

I guess Im gonna order one for my U8800 since my battery seems to be too old.

lots of battery related threads have popped up recently .

there has been a strange increase of battery problems for note users here on xda . bloated battery . flickering battery % and what not...
i read somewhere in xda that the note battery is only bound to last a year or so...is it true ?
if its true that means we as are gonna see a lot more similar threads in the coming months when people cross the 1 year mark
being a heavy user my phone has been constantly on charge for.the past 9 months ..And recently I've noticed that my battry takes longer to charge and then runs out quicker than before.
is this 1 year battery thing , a samsung issue or an android issue ?? or is it an acceptable life for a smartphone battery ?
what do you guys think ?

Battery is dying.. mine is 10 months old and it started flickering after installing a jb rom.. replaced it and everythings fine

My Note is one year and three days old and is still going strong with the original and only battery I've used. I can't say I've noticed a drop in battery life at all. Typically I top up the battery daily from the original charger, although it could go for a few days between charges if it had to. I just prefer to have a full battery when I leave the house. You never know what your needs might be throughout the day - emergencies, for example. I usually let it charge past the first sign of 100%, all the way until I get the additional "Full" green battery appear in the notification bar.
As for ROMS, I've tried every stock ROM since release (now on the latest stock ICS and have been since it came out) and also dabbled briefly with AOKP and Paranoid.

I wonder, isn't battery also 1 year guarantee?

The standard phone battery guarantee is usually for 6 months.

Galaxy Note N7000: Sweet ROM v5 4.0.4 XXLRU + HydraCore v5.34 std + BDVLR2 baseband

From my experience, having two different android phones, spare battery chargers always charge the battery fully unlike the handsets. I would say draining the battery fully from time to time and charge it by a spare battery charger enhances the battery life back to "what is expected". No manual battery calibration is needed if you own a spare battery charger for your phone.

I rotate usage with 2 batteries. Therefore everything is cool.

The on off charge indicator can be a sign of a broken USB board. Mine suffered this last week I change the board myself using spare parts one brought from eBay one from a uk online store. This solved the charge issue however reduced signal by a long way on both boards so sent off to samsung now and will pay to get it fixed. Reason signal plummeted is the aerial is connected to this board also

Strange enough the batt life span is just 1 and 1/2 year. Mine just change to a new batt few weeks back. It was bloated. Why cant they produce more durable batt? Something similar like nokia batt?

I got two extra Anker batteries that last longer than the original and a charger for $15 on Ebay. Big deal.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

Mine is ten months old. Now batt bloated and flickering starts after just a few minutes. Went downhill fast over about three week period. . I need a new battery.
Two questions-
Can i get one from the Samsung store in Manila as warrantee replacement? (my phone is from Germany via USA Amazon)
If not, can i get those third party Antek batts in Manila? Green hills? or from Ebay.ph? They got best reviews on Amazon.

[Q] Battery life...?

Third day with my Nexus 4, and battery life seems to be just like the old days of my gnex ? I am really surprised. Tried different rom and kernel combinations. My battery is draining fast. Cant blame any app since i have been running the same apps on my gnex as well as my sold s3, experienced an impressive battery life on the s3. Even tho the s3 and the N4 has the same 2100 battery ? Any explanation? Ty.

Wait until new phone syndrome wears off.
You've only had your phone 3 days, and your still flashing new roms, which sucks up a lot of juice. Let it settle for a few days.
Also a 4.7" display sucks down battery. My phone last all day no problem now that I've had it for a few weeks. First week it wouldn't last 6 hours... because I used it for 6 hours screen on constantly.

part 2 fine tuning the battery.. 7 plus hours SOT

This should really help your screen on time note 20 ultra

7 hours should be the minimum out of the box for a very expensive flagship handset.
I have tweaked pretty much everything and still get around 5.
Emailed Samsung today for a return. Useless handset.

It's not per day, it's per charge. So if you're only a moderate user 7 hours ST should give you a couple of days. My phone boots up at 7am and is dead by early evening.

My phone does 2 days easy if I'm at work. Otherwise, sure I probably have to throw it on the charger around 5ish because I've been facebooking and reading the news, I'd say it's far from useless anyways. And while I'm at work in usually using the Galaxy buds to listen to my podcasts [emoji1745]

It's kind of weird how a lot of people on Exynos versions are getting seriously bad battery life.. The other day I asked my daughter to watch all of her shows and stuff on YouTube on my Note 20 Ultra and asked her not to put it on the charger for any reason because I wanted to see what kind of screen on time I could get and I'm seriously getting close to 15 hours of screen on time and I am posting pictures below so people don't think I'm full of it.. At 24 percent battery life left it said I still had a little over 4 hours left and the total screen on time was 10 hours 37 minutes so if she had stayed awake for another few hours it would have been around 14/15 hours without a single charge!

I stopped worrying about screen on time 3 devices ago. Just use your phone normally as a normal person.

That's easy for you to say but some of us have to work and we can't be near an outlet all the time and we need to know exactly how much time we have available for doing important things.. Also, people who worry about their battery life doesn't make them "abnormal" like you're low key saying (Just use your phone normally as a normal person.")... It's great and all that you don't care about your battery life but this website is for help and other things so if you're not going to offer any solutions or anything of value then maybe you shouldn't say anything!

The main issue is that most of us (some long time Note users) are buing the phone because it is considered a powerhorse phone and advertised with a battery that "lasts a day". Most of us are using it like a normal person, that is one that use the phone in his/her daily tasks from browsing to mails, chats, watching videos or shooting photos or editing documents. Because THAT'S why we bought a Note and not a...dunno iPhone for ex.
And seeing that battery isn't in fact lasting a whole day on a 1300 phone we're "a bit" disappointed (and I was extremely polite saing that)

Nice move, pay 1300 bucks for a smartphone and don't use because you want it's ****ty battery to last...
Still, the battery drain will destroy your battery, specially on exynos version

If you're on your phone for 7hrs a day and most people average 8hrs at work (obviously you use your phone at work) that leaves you 9hrs plus an hr or 2 (because your using your phone at work a bit) left to get home, cook, eat dinner, cleanup and sleep, I'd say your wasting a lot of your life. At this point the damn batteries have gotten good enough I'd say [emoji1787]

The Exynos 20 U is far faster than my 10+ with better ram too.
My 10+ was running hotter than the 1 ton deep fryer on the USS Missouri at one point.
It will take some time but you can get it running cool.
Nominal idle current should be about an average of 150-200 ma. Otherwise something(s) is dragging it down.
Get PD MDM and proceed... you will need to develop a good level of proficiency before you see lasting results.
*Bah-ha-ha-ha*, excuse me, I meant to say fun times are ahead
One reason I refuse to migrate to Q is I put some serious time into this system to get it optimized.
This 10+ was a real wanker... sure the 20 U and Q will be "better".
