Anyone use this (or the custom ones) built into the Note?
Are they effective or is Juice Defender a better choice?
Regards,
Stu.
i rooted mine and dropped the clock a little under 1ghz using set cpu and i get two days of light use. a day and a half heavy use. i didnt notice a performance difference either.
Just Rooted mine and have seen battery life definitely decrease.
I am going to drop the clock and hopefully get a little better battery life.....

SOMEONE !! HELP !!
I need to find out which ROM has the best battery life, can someone point me in the right direction pls....
Thanks

Try them all. It all depends on how you use your phone. There's no magical rom with great battery life.
If you use your phone a lot, go for a ROM which isn't overclocked.
If you want the longest idle time before recharge, I think you should set the "conservative" governor as a screen off policy and you will be fine. Of course you can also disable features such as data but you will loose many useful features of your phone. Unlike what some people says, disabling GPS doesn't improve battery life as it isn't used except when you start an application which use it.
Battery life is most affected by the screen light.
And with every rom you have to callibrate your battery. Most people with poor battery life haven't done this.
The Froyo roms are the best options because the are faster and less stressing for the juice.

They all have the same battery life (give or take 5 minutes)
All pretty similar.
Use an underclocked kernel, play around with brightness settings or use an app such as ultimate juice / juice defender to regulate 3g / wifi usage

How to callibrate my battery??
My Hero just lasts two Days with 691mhz Flykernel 11 and Elelinux 2.1 and no 3g.
I just hear a lot of music with it, connect it a few to wifi and play some games in the school.....
How long does your batteriest last?

You say two days without a charge with occasional wifi use (wifi on, screen on, phone signal on), and games playing (sound on screen on, processor busy) like it's a bad thing...
Since the mid 2000s phone capabilities have been surpassing battery performance at a remarkable rate. With the advent of the iphone and the gaining popularity android smartphones, phone feature demands have exploded while battery technology just isn't anywhere near providing the kind of battery life we expected on our dumb phones, ie, don't bother packing a charger for a two week holiday if you charge up before you leave.
This is a large reason why new technology is being created with more efficient manufacturing processes, smaller dies, etc etc, as it is easier to reduce power consumption at this time than it is to build slim, cheap, high capacity batteries.

Mine struggles to get a day battery life, with not very heavy useage... how do i calibrate my battery?
Hi everyone,
I'm wholly on NDT MIUI GINGER 2.3.7 MULTILANG SUPPORT V9.0[SiyahKernel2.4.2] ROM. I have SetCPU installed but not really sure how to use it for optimum results.
I'm quite a heavy user, spending a gd 2+hrs worth of music listening to and fro work, at least half of workday of internet browsing and social networking, plenty of messaging and I have my emails on regular push. Currently using this ROM, I get a day's worth of usage before needing to charge at night before going to sleep but I wish to improve it further.
My SetCPU now is on scaling smartassV2 ( i have no idea which to use or what exactly it does, i used it because it sounds cool), everything else on default.
Anyone here can point me in the right direction or guide me on the best settings for my usage?? I see Profiles and Voltages but have no idea what to put in them.
Thank you for any assistance!!
you can try to undervolt and underclock. try to undervolt by decreasing +- 25mV to see how much you CPU can stand. have look here for battery saving tips.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1234264
as for the governors you can learn more from here http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/CPU_Frequency_Scaling
also you can try to buy an extended battery such as the original samsung galaxy s2 battery 2000mah. i am pretty sure it will make a difference.
thanks mariosraptor,
after a day or so on smartassV2, UV of -50mV on each voltage tier, main profile running at 200-800mhz i can say there's is a slight improvement, not much but better.
In the past, when I unplugged from 8am, I will have to charge again by noon. It's not toally drained but I would have used it to around <10% battery before charging. Now I can pull thru till around 3-4pm with the same heavy usage so that's a good few hours' real-world improvement.
I would have gotten the new extended battery if it had been available locally earlier. I bought myself a portable battery pack long before Sammy put that battery on sale. Even so I will prefer to lengthen the lifespan of the phone battery a.k.a charging less often and still get the best out of my phone.
SetCPU really helps but I do not expect much since I suppose no amount of tweaking can ever beat heavy usage. I will share my SetCPU settings here later on. Cheers
You are welcome.

Does the extended battery cause more overheating than the standard? I've had the phone for three days now, and this thing heats up way too much with normal usage. To the point the LED blinks... I use the extended, but am willing to buy the standard if it'll help.
I have only had it blink when using ics Roms...and it occurs with the standard battery as well for me. I am hoping when ics is official the kernel will fix the heat issues. My phone works good on ics on either battery until I start actually using my phone.

Yea I'm rooted, on stock ROM. Been an issue from minute one...
Nils business ics is the best for me battery and heat wise. With a max CPU speed of 1.2ghz and tweaked conservative governor, and limiting screen brightness to a max of 40%, I have yet to see the phone get to 39c. Before with auto brightness and full speed on demand gov it would push 43c which bothers me. This is all with standard battery. I usually don't worry much about extended battery since it lasts forever compared to standard. Hope that gives some ideas

My battery life used to be better but my touch pad has gotten its fair use.
I would like to be able to survive the day on a charge if possible with moderate use. I'm on fat and creamy with juice defender and that has helped loads but I was wondering if anyone else has some good battery saving tips or maybe a from with even better battery life.
Also my touch screen seems less sensitive than when I got the tablet (okay so maybe my tablet is more than just moderately used), and I was wondering if anyone has a keyboard with buttons easier to tap than the stock.
Some use Juice Defender to save battery. You can achieve many of the same savings by setting up profiles. One sure way to improve battery life is to use RootDim (free app) to lower screen light level (the TP screen is very good so lowering level below 25 % saves battery and still looks good.
You may to consider RandomROM's Falcon ROM... gets great battery life.

What has been people's experience with battery life with the different ROMs? I've been on AOKP for awhile, and the battery, quite frankly, sucked compared to stock. I'm currently on PA and am getting just under stock. For me, battery life is first priority, even if there is occasional stutter. Testing battery life takes a long time, so I just wanted to see what others have been seeing. I would stay on stock, but I really want Tablet UI and real setting toggles.

Disable Google Now and see if that helps, totally did on my HOX and I've yet done it to my Nexus but I've not used it enough to actually deplete a battery yet.

You sort of want your cake and eat it too. If you want a ROM full of features and packed full of unicorn blood and the tears of leprechauns something is going to have to give and that will always be the battery life.
I use pa ...I charge my tablet every other day

I'm addicted to my tablet... I've been using it without stop for the last three hours. This are my results with Paranoidandroid:
Very similar with stock though. I think I could upload some as well.
I'm pretty sure this is stock. Not a lot of difference as I said. Both of the images are with very heavy usage, I mean, screen on all the time, but almost the lowest brightness. With the screen off I get almost no drop.
(I couldn't attach the image in the previous post)
Battery life will always be a combination of idle drain + screen on drain. THe most important is obviously how long you can actually use the tablet (screen on time), but you also need good enough idle drain to not lose hardly any charge between when you use your tablet.
The more features you add the less battery life usually is. So either keep PA so you have the tablet UI or use a ROM that is very close to stock, like the stock ROM from scrosler or Muzzy's ROM.
A kernel can also have greater effect on battery life. If you want the best battery then go with KTManta kernel. Use either PegasusQ or ktoonservative governor and add in some undervolting to lower power draw. Using this combination I was able to get over 13 hours of screen on time in 1 charge. Idle drain was about 1% every 8-9 hours.
Personally, I've found that my battery life has improved maybe 10% since running cyanogenmod. If I'm really lucky I can get 7 hours SOT. Not a huge improvement over stock, but its definitely better.
Its worth noting that I use the "performance" CPU governor, which is supposed to be a battery killer. Strangely it doesn't seem to make much difference for me though, it just makes everything quicker!

Well, it is difficult to notice a higher battery drop when it is already insane... XD. Well, according to battery widget I'm getting around 8h with the screen on, which is not bad.

I've used the "battery widget" for a very long time and that app is a battery drainer. Got way better battery life uninstalling that app.
