How's the battery life?

cophyor · Nov 30, 2012

Maybe you forgot to plug the adapter

One thing that you should keep in mind is that the usb plug is somehow so loose and easily fell off

Are you charging from the wall or from your computer? I noticed that my phone charges at a crawl from my computer.

Hey is it just new? it happend with me for the 1st 3 charges when the battery is new it takes all that time to get fully charged.
So i gues its normal if this is your 1st or 2nd charge

PetiePal · Nov 30, 2012

Wouldn't you be worried of wearing down the battery door?

I think as long as you insert the cable straightly, gently and don't et it bend up or down whole charging you'd be ok.

I'm unplugging for my fist full lte day at 745am well see how this puppy does.

I highly recommend that everyone download NQ Android booster and use it from time to time. Its free on play store and is quick and easy to open.

It has an app closing feature that saves CPU and battery. It also has a slick battery history monitor. Its easy to use because you just tap it to open and tap it again and it will close unneccesary apps that arent closed.

I plan on stressing the battery today. Sitting at my desk I stream pandora all day and I have the phone plugged in while I do it. Tonight though I am going to a hockey game and out for dinner with friends. My Nexus could barely make it through a long evening without a charge. I am expecting big things when it comes to my Note 2.

I got 6 hours of screen time on my vzw n2 on the first day.

Be careful with this. Android is really good about closing apps and keeping memory in check. Free memory isn't always GOOD memory, you want the memory to be used...and it will get freed up as needed.

Unless an app is mad misbehaving and that CPUSpy will keep tabs on runaway apps, then you can manually kill with task manager.

Unnecessarily killing apps just has them auto-restart (unless you're rooted and prevent this) and can end up draining more battery.

I got mine at about 5pm yesterday. It was pre-charged at around %50. At 2am it was at 11% with heavy use.

Today is a normal use day, not stressing it yet, but I got a full charge.

I set mine to power saving mode before I drifted off. It seemed to really help. I had a great charge in the morning. I didn't see a difference with the phone being in powersave mode, except that the screen was darker.
Maybe try that?

I used power saver mode the first day. After that I turned it off. Found no need for it. Basically it just puts everything into a paused state until you wake the phone up.

I am also moving away from the "bump charge when I can" mentality that was a necessity with the E4GT. Now I can charge it overnight, which gives me plenty of juice to make it through the day with battery to spare, then charge it once at my desk before I leave work, which gives me enough juice to make it through the night until I go to bed. Before I even got my E4GT, I bought 2 backup batteries on ebay. I haven't gotten around to buying even one backup battery for the Note 2. It's not a pressing need.

Oh yeah, it's been over a month now, and I still haven't heard the low battery warning.

PetiePal · Nov 30, 2012

Unplugged 7:45am. Moderate use, 11:45am 89%.

WHAAAT.

rivera02 · Nov 30, 2012

Yesterday I got 14hrs on my first charge. 90% of the time I was on Lte and I was hammering it... brightness about 85% with a little over an hour of using navigation while streaming from Google Music, which is battery murder on any other phone I've had. Screen on time was just a hair over 6hr 15min before it died, and that was starting with 97% charge. So far besides the few features missing on the vzw version I couldn't be happier.

PetiePal · Nov 30, 2012

The s-Pen one is helpful, if the pen is plugged in, it doesn't need to be active. Automatic brightness finally seems to work well on this device and never approaches BLINDING levels.

LilacBleeds · Nov 30, 2012

are you using the charger that came with the phone? my charger that comes with the phone is more secure in place than other micro-usb cables that i've used.

I used the original charger which came with the phone, and still it took more than 14 hours for fully charge, but that occurs only for the first 3 or 4 times later it has become faster

Try running the battery down completely (until the phne switches itself off), then charge again. If you still have the same problem then you may have a faulty battery.

Shouldn't take more than 3 hours to fully charge from the wall.

ScandaLeX · Nov 30, 2012

Lilac, I've taken the liberty to move your thread to the ongoing battery thread.

Carry on.....

Crabbypatties · Nov 30, 2012

Your issue may be from using a previous device's charging plug. With a device that has such a large battery you must use the included OEM charger. In this case the charging plug is a 2 amp charger anything less will take an extended period of time to charge.

softarno · Nov 30, 2012

Guys it also happend to me but after the 3rd time of charging it was ok and it was so fast, and the battery life so far is so good

ne0lyfeism · Nov 30, 2012

Ok, having weird issues emailing myself the screenshot, but my jaw dropped when I checked the battery stats - nearly 10 hours since I've been unplugged and have 78% battery left... this was with LTE on the whole time, no wifi.

My Droid RAZR would've been recharged 2x at this point in my office...

syntrix · Nov 30, 2012

What's your screen on time?

PetiePal · Nov 30, 2012

10 hours off charger 69%

It's actually 10 hours off not 8

How's the battery life?
