2 years later?

I think this will be a good general discussion:
Whats the battery performance like for you guys on a 2 year old phone, i know after a while the battery begins to degrade which is why im trying to see if this is the case for everyone :laugh:
Also what rom, kernel, tweaks are you using to get your current battery

1.5 years ago I easily get 6-7 hours screen on with power saving mode, for now i only get 4-5 hours with the same usage with Hurricane rom.

this phone is not two years old......

Yeah this phone is not 2 years old yet.. but aside, I love the Note 2 and don't plan on upgrading. I have 6 batteries for it, plus a external charger, so I never have to plug my phone in again. As far as UI goes, yes, it's missing some features, especially on 4.1.2 (luckily I never did the update ), but its multitasking features are kick-ass. At least for beginners. I had to tweak things to my liking, thanks to Xposed, such as default expanded notifications, Multiwindow for all apps, and such, but now that I have so much time into tweaking this phone I have no reason to upgrade.

I hardly noticed any difference between the time I purchased and now. My phone is 18 months old now.
Then again it could b me using 2 batteries and rotating the battery between uses so it doesn't degrade that fast.
But then again I'm not on stock rom. I was using miui in the past. Then regret upgrading to 4.3 which I found it too big of a hassle to downgrade to use miui again (4.1) and used hurricane rom with note3 mod installed. I tried ditto kitkat beta and rc1 but always reverted back to hurricane after a day of usage.

Mine last fine, about 5 or 6 hours of screen on.
Kitkat official, about 30apps frozen (Samsung I hate you lol), and greenify ftw.

Im getting 4+ hours screen time with average 15+ hours minimum of use .
this is on 4.3 stock rooted and AGNi kernel set to extreme battery saver.
normally charge phone when still at 20%.
On stock 4.3 I was getting best 14 hours.

thats minimum because when playing clash of clans all day in a marathon to collect lute really kills battery. With norman use easy get 18+ hours easy.
I also de blotted my stock 4.3. Eitherway better battery than before.
cheers

I was stock rom and after numerous useless updates from samsung my battery wont last even 12 hours. I moved to xperized rom and even then battery backup was less. I have just switched to SuperBeam and I am seeing an improvement. will post detailed update later. right now getting near 14 hours with 3-4 hours screen time with wifi and bluetooth constantly on.

Hmm yeah thats what i get too here and there depends on if i play games or not which i rarely do! Im trying out Omega rom v27 4.4 atm and testing the battery for a couple of days :fingers-crossed:

really guys only 6-7 hours? I go at least 10-12 hours, yeah of course it depends how much you use it for example when I use 3G and Wifi Hotspot simultaneously the battery drains like 1 second for 1%. I recommend you guys to install WakeLock Detector app. This app will tell you which app drain your battery, and guys, remove the facebook app as soon as possible it was on the top of the list.

My battery life is steadily declining. Still getting by the day, but not easily like it previously was. Hopefully it'll last until the Note 4 hits.

Is there an app out there that can accurate measure the battery of your phone?

There are tons of battery app , there is one that comes with CleanMaster app hope that should be good as cleanmaster is good app

I get 2 hours and 30 min with screen on and 5 hours with the phone off the charger and on 3g and 2 hours with screen on and 4 hours on 4g with screen on with stock 4.3 and custom roms and i get 7 hours with the on wifi and 2 hours 30 min with the screen on that is with good signal and on Telstra.
Apps i am using are facebook and facebook messenger and pocket cast and google apps that is all on 3g
I've only had the Phone since 16th of January 2013 and that is with two battery as well

After 1 year 2 months of usage, my note 2 lives around 7 hours screen on for wifi and 5 hours screen on for 3G

Note3 8hr battery life

Note3 running Beans stock 4.2.2 rom. I've removed/disabled a lot of the system apps/bloatware and run a couple xposed mods (in pic below). Phone was half on wifi half on good 4G; also in good service areas entire time. GPS off, automatic brightness. I only get 4hrs of screen time and total running time is approx 8hrs with 15% left. I think this is quite low for a 3200mah battery. Anyone give me any suggestions to prolong the battery?..or reasons why I can't seem to go a full day?
...I posted this because my bro has stock nonrooted S5 with high brightness on whole day and can easily go 1.5 days with same on screen time so I was lil disappointed in my note.
Thanks ahead of time for any help!

you have something keeping the phone awake or chewing the battery...most note 3 get about 15-25 hours per charge... i keep my brightness fixed at about 25% i have greenify now it seemed to help.

How do I check what it is? I'm not sure what it could be but know that 15% with 8 hr total battery time and 4 hr screen time that it's a little under what I expect out of a note3.

solution to low battery life
It doesnt seem to be a problem since my old note 3 had the same battery life.
A tip ill give u is to try to turn off the wifi every while...
And also try to use this app: screen filter
It reduces battery life by lowering the brightness.

I have similar issues however I get a little better battery life as I have basically turned off every good option on this phone in order to make it last . Ive concluded that this phone has terrible battery life due to Android 4.3 and higher sucking up the battery unnecessarily .. the background processes are endless and truly destroy the daily longevity and options of this phone. Take a look at the Note 2, same battery, different operating system and more or less same hardware and out of the box the note 2 lasts WAY longer than the note 3 (at least from my own personal experience). Frankily, if it was possible, I would love to downgrade to 4.2 (or 4.1.x) to see how significant of a change the battery life would be. Thats my 2 cents

Retail Verizon Note 3
running Hyperdrive 8 with patches to fix settings ask
stock kernel as I don't have a dev unit
and it is used moderate to heavy with video streaming to my Chrome cast.
I use greenify and es task manager to disable auto starting programs. I see many more reports of other people getting 20 hours with 4 hours screen time.
and it doesn't really matter but could cpu scheduler is ondemand with i/o being row

actually the note 3 has a bigger battery and a qualcomm soc rather than samsung enxyos or if it is a international an 8 core enxyos soc...
note 3 3200 mAh vs note 2 3100 mAh

that just adds more evidence to my theory... the android 4.3 OS is a battery sucking operating system when it doesn't really need to be.

I never had a problem with 4.3. I was running hyperdrive 4.3 with greenify, v6 supercharger, and a crap storm of other tweaks and xposed mods and with very little usage (didn't take a screenshot of screen on time) I was at 5 days 13 hours 43 min with 6% battery left. I tried to update to hyperdrive kit kat and had nothing but problems so I flashed stock nc2, upgraded to nc4 modem and have spent the last week (couple hours a night) modifying and tweaking. I'm currently at 1 day 20 hours 13 min with 4 hrs 15 min screen on time and I have 19% battery left. I would probably be closer to 25%-30+% but last night I decided to go all out with the cpu control and run antutu benchmark twice to test different I/o schedulers.

So do you think with a custom ROM instead of being on stock 4.2.2 will help me get more outta the battery?

Probably the first step would get better battery stats and find out what is draining your battery. Freezing app apps won't do much to save battery if your not freezing the ones draining battery. Also look into greenify you can hibernate apps that you need installed and to run frequently but can put them to sleep when you don't need them
Also I got rid of V6 and decided to do min free and kernel tweaks manually with Rom toolbox pro. Not sure if a fluke but currently I've had 2 hours of screen on time and only dropped 20%. That's as much a 10 hours screen on time on a single charge.

Did you flash to stick slot and flash nc2 before flashing hyperdrive or were your issues some menus did not work if so those have been patched and everything works now.

I had wakelocks that lagged my phone (500k+ in twelve hours) and ran the batter almost dead in that time. Yea I flashed nc2 upgraded to rsl8 and updated the modems. Just didn't feel like trouble shooting anymore and with xposed I can have everything I want and biting I don't

Crappy Battery life. Even after Root and Xposed.

Hi.
My battery life has been very crappy lately.
Ive rooted. Flashed Audax. Installed amplify and xposed and used the glassfish governor as well as naptime. The standby hours raised from 9h to 12h but sot is still the same. 1h 30 mins !!
All i use is whatsapp and facebook and gmail!!
Is there's any hope? I love my phone but the battery is really making me think of ditching it.

Me too i barely get 2 hours got only 3 in miui

I do not want to disappoint you but gsmarenas review of the nougat update for the s7 proved that the battery is worse thab marshmallow and the whole resolution thing didnt cut anything.

So...didn't like to resort to this but Greenify is really good on this phone.

I still get more than 3h SOT with at least 12hr stand by time.
My phone is 13 months old.

Could it just be you need a battery replacement?

s4 (i9506 model) best battery life rom ans kernel

hallo guys. i search the best normal looking rom or and kernel for the i9506 model to have a longer battery life. atm my battery lasts only 8 hours with a new battery. im using cyanogenmod 14.1

I really don't think you can get more than 8 hours out of the S4.
Most people barely get 4 hours.

i remember times where i could use the phone for more then 15 hours at stock rom. im not a poweruser just watchin 1-2 times per hour at my phone..
i thought there is some better rom concerning battery times :/

Only with a bigger battery.
The maximum is 5 hours screen-on time you can get.

What 's about your SOT?

Please share your screen on time in single charge .
Thank you guys.

I hit nearly 10 hours yesterday. Todays charge I'm on 7h 48m with 18% left
All on miui.eu build.

6 to 7 hours, miui 10.2.8

10h-12h medium usage. no gaming but stream a lot. 2 weeks old device.

7 and half hours max with gaming included

I'll tell you ASAP 'cause I've bought it today

Its 6-7 hours. LTE range is not good in my area so its around 6 and half on 4G. When on 2G or 3G and WiFi , SOT goes beyond 7 and half. My usage is browsing only, no gaming.

5h to 6 with miui 10.3.6

what's wrong with me, i can't go over 4h on sot ?? miui 10.3.6

Debloat MiUi. USE LTE ONLY ON ONE SIM. Select 2G on other.

you know what, i install miui global eea v10.3.2.0 and update to v10.3.2.0 and look the result is too good!!

Mine

I was initially getting ridiculously good SoT, easily above 10h while GPS, Bluetooth, Sync etc. all open.
Since last week, Play Services started to eat battery a lot. Still well above 7-8h SoT, and it's more than enough, but it's weird :/

Ah yes. Is it responsible for this?
Also to be fair, yesterday I still got 9 hour SoT, but I think originally it was longer.

I don't get what i'm doing wrong, i basically installed resurrection rom with elvira kernel and i barely get 4 hours of sot trough a workday

I've red somewhere that it could be responsible of some battery drain.. Go in battery settings and turn off any background process for the gcam.

Syberia is absolutely amazing rom!
First cycle of charge... See screenshots ... All out of the box... Kernel stock and anyone configuration to save battery...
I'm absolutely freaked and happy!

on MIUI 5 days bought
12hs screen

Finally I got this phone.
And I'm happy with that.
Usage 4 days.
