I have a note 10.1 3g and get 12ish hours screen on and 28 hours unplugged per charge. The note 2 has half the screen size of the note 10.1and just under half the battery size but jellybean is more efficient. Given that the other hardware is so similiar, 6 hours seems spot-on giving the scaling- 7+ is possible with the right settings. Can't wait for the Note 2 on ATT- this exynos 4412/Mali 400mp seems to be a kickass combo of performance and power efficiency.
There was also an article on a Russian site from a gnote 2 tester that reported the screen uses around 35% - 40% less power when displaying whites- that HUGE for Super AMOLED since whites have always been its weakness in terms of power consumption. That's getting close to the same power efficiency as Super LCD2.
Come on ATT....hope they sell the phone shortly after the 24th.

Note 1 life
I'll post a screenshot of the battery usage sometime, but I've been getting incredible life with my Note 1.. The other day I had 30% with 16 hours of use when I plugged it in at night. That's with streaming music for a couple hours,checking email, texts, making calls, and browsing (Normal use). Granted I'm using auto-brightness, dark backgrounds and non-stock cpu settings.. HOWEVER, when the screen is on for long periods (i.e. playing games) i'll drop 10% by the time i'm done.
Soo a Note 2 with a bigger battery and a better cpu should be amazing.

I'd want to see a non-rooted, stock, out of the box comparison between the two all circumstances being equal. Any other conditions aren't really comparing the battery life against the two devices.
Around 13-16 hours was what I was getting with my note out of the box. But running the ROM I'm on, I can get up to 30 hours like I did two days ago or 26 hours yesterday.

Honestly how long the battery lasts is not important to me...screen on time is. I use my device pretty heavily day to day, so it will always be charged overnight.
I see an avg of 4hrs screen on with my setup now. The note 2 sees well over 6+...I've seen them even double my screen on time. That's amazing.

Yeah not sure why we are always talk about stand by time, which will always last a full day if you only use the screen for a hour or so.
I have serious doubts about 5-6 hours when I am getting less than 2 hours screen time if I do pure LTE browsing, 3-4 hours if I do pure WIFI or low CPU tasks like reading books. In real life usage it is always going to be around 3 hours. Keep in mind the tests that websites like Anandtech are 100% optimal tests. In reality you will browse a wide variety of sites with different work loads and have wide variety of signal conditions.
Battery is only 24% larger, but screen is larger and CPU Is quad core (even if it is .32nm), I would be pleasantly surprised if stock vs stock it gets more than 4 hours of battery time in average usage.

Then you need to go on the GNote2 forums. Battery life is stellar. 24% larger is a huge difference and the processor is more efficient.

With a different SoC, battery and AMOLED screen, I can believe the Note2 has 6 hours of screen on.
But with the Note1, it clearly can't get much over 4 hours of screen on time even in ideal conditions. Standby is great but the screen eats the battery.

Not sure what your doing but maybe your battery maybe not holding a charge like it should?

Do not use Hyperion, QCell or any other cheap ebay/amazon batteries. They are only about 1700mah at best and will kill your phone under moderate use in about 60 to 90 minutes. Maybe less.
I'm on stock GB rooted with all bloat frozen via TB and I can get through a whole day of use on one Samsung OEM batt with light to med usage.

This is no where near the average!
And you seriously must not use your phone, like at all
17 hours at 73% is a bit extreme, but so is 2% per minute drain.
I think I can represent a fairly average user. I usually check email, weather and a little reddit during my morning routine. BT is always on and connects to my car while I drive to work for about 30 minutes. I average about 2 or 3 long phone calls a day on my phone. Some text messaging throughout the day and some short internet sessions on my phone while at work. Plus a few minutes here or there for Draw Something. I stream Google Music every day on my way home for about 30 minutes. Once at home my usage varies depending on what I do for the evening. But so far I usually find I have about 50% battery life when going to bed. I actually made it through Friday and Saturday on a single charge.
So I would say that this phone has above average battery life for an android device. It isn't stellar, but it isn't bad either. My Infuse could eek out about the same life with less use. My N1 never made it even close to this length. My buddy's MyTouch 4g can't usually make it a full 24 hours.

Considering the screen size, the battery isn't actually that big. It sounds enormous due to other phones with almost a thousand less mAH, but I just bought a bunch of extra batteries. The removable battery feature is the biggest reason I switched to Android.
LTE is a HUGE battery killer. I turned off wireless since LTE is SOOOOOO much faster than any wireless connection I'm on. I'd be lucky if I could get through a workday without it being below 50% by the end of a work day and completely dead by 7pm.
Turn on wireless and it's now almost 3pm and still have 78% left.
Lets face one fact everyone is different. .everyone claims this and that and regardless of what carrier or what device people will.never see the batt life they would really.like to see.Say like 50% after 3 days heavy usage that would be a thing we.may see in.smartphones in a few years. Android o.s will always be battery harsh.Its a huge topic.
Another point.on all the claims of Great and terrible batt life has to do with the fact. .people just dont truly get how others may use there devices so heavily..streaming vid...music...downloads...mail sync...Some maybe few truly use there phones 24 hrs non stop. There probably will never be a batt drain solution for those people.So telling one person that batt is fine with all this moderate usage coming from a person who uses there data more like "lightly" rather than heavy, doesnt help a person who is a heavy heavy data user.Neither sides will ever come to an agreement.

Wow that is awesome! I'm getting home with a full days use at around 50-60%- It seems to be better than my captivate was on life that's for sure.
I have had mine for two weeks- On side note? hehehe Does cycling a battery really prove to get better life as time goes by or is it a old school story about batteries use to have memory etc... and now they don't?
Modern batteries don't have memory but their battery meters can become decalibrated which can be fixed with a full change cycle. Nonetheless, I don't recommend doing that too often (I only do it like once a year) since that's bad for the battery.

You iPad does 10 hours of gaming?
The ipad does have a 11560 mah battery and a screen that needs less back lighting. Also the cpu probably uses a good chunk of the battery on the nexus 10. could you go into the battery info and tell us what percent the display is using?
---------- Post added at 06:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 AM ----------
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ipad-3-benchmark-retina-display,3157-4.html <-- ipad 3 battery life isn't much better.
Sucks
Sorry, but I can run my S3 out in half that time playing a high end game.
Pushing those kind of pixels on a screen that size for 2.5 hours, plus another 2.5 hours of screen on is not bad going.
Further more, you can't possibly have had your N10 long enough yet to have properly charge cycled your battery 4 or 5 times, which builds its stamina.
I received mine at 11am yesterday, on factory charge (it was approx 60%), and playing with it most of the day yesterday, and for several hours last night (although admittedly no gaming) it only reached low battery (3%) when I woke up this morning.
The Display used 61%, need for speed used 21%
2.5h playing, full cpu, moving that amount of pixels, and 2.5h more, it's kinda good, man...
2,5 hours of gaming and 2,5 hours of web browsing? Thats useless for me..
I would say the A15 CPU ist more effiecient compared to previous tabs. Btw remember the high amount of pixel...so it is good
Sorry, misstyped.
It were only 1,5h of need for speed and 2,5h of surfing. So 4h in total!
The concern is that the N10 discharges while gaming even on the charger, why I didn't rush to buy one on first day. Best to always read true user reviews first before hitting the store.

It's don't really see that as an issue, I own plenty of devices that work like this, if anything its better for your battery, because first, it's slow charging, which is better for the battery, second, it's getting charged cycled even if it's always plugged in, which is good for its lifetime.

If they had used something other than a micro USB to charge it this would be fine. I saw a pogo charter in a thread but I'm sure it will cost $55++ which is stupid because it should have been standard with the device
4 hours of game/screen time is awful...I can easily get 8-9 out of my Asus infinity gaming/streaming/netflix while only taking 2-3 hours to fully charge. The slow I/o just kills that tablet for me though...

I had an iPad 3, and now have the Nexus 10. The battery life is a little better on the iPad, but not hugely so. That's with both devices at full brightness.
I can get 6-7 hours out of the Nexus and I was getting maybe 8 out of the iPad. Hardly a massive deal, especially considering this is a considerably lighter device with a bigger screen. Who has 6 hours a day to sit on their tablet anyway? I know if I did, I wouldn't have had to money to buy it in the first place!
As for charging: Yes, it's slow. It was also just as slow on my ipad. Am I missing something here? If you guys are seeing that as a deal-breaker, my advice is to stay well away from the iPad!

It's not that bad.
Mine was 60 out of the box, plugged into wall and came back 2 hours later it was fully fine

I think it's always a good idea to run the unit ONCE until it shuts off as soon as possible after getting it, just so you really know where zero is. It's not conditioning, just a way to help with calibration.
It's been my experience that new Android devices can run for many minutes after the battery meter was showing 0-1%. In one case it was over an hour (Tab 8.9).
Ok....I feel absolutely stupid and must be missing something but...how can I check the screen on time? It is just not listed under Battery as it is on the Xoom or the Galaxy Nexus for example
Click on the Display Entry in your Battery statstic!
Battery life usually improves after a few complete discharge/full recharge cycles.
What's the output on the bundled charger, 1A, 2A?
Anyhow, it's a trade-off. With the Nexus 10 you get the best screen and the most powerful tablet so I can live with the battery life. Plus, I'll be alternating between it and a Galaxy Note 10.1 as one charges.
I willing be ditching my Note 2 and I want to know from you guys that have had experience with the dna your overall opinions on the battery.

right now i'm at 37%. off the charger for 12 hours, with 2:20 screen on time. i'll get 3 hours screen on by the end of the day. this is using wifi all day, taking many pics, sending lots of texts and MMS in an area with crappy 4g service (so MMS take forever to go through, if they do) and plenty of emails..then used facebook, instagram, tapatalk, etc.
on 4g, i'd probably get 10 hours or so with 3 hours screen on time. yesterday i had 16.5 hours with 3 hours screen on time on wifi/4g mix.
I have very good 4g where I live and I always use wifi when I'm at home. I mainly read up on tech blogs, a lot of Web browsing a few quick videos and some picture taking. So im hoping I can get 12 hrs.

Battery life for me has been awesome. Coming from the Rezound, on a good day with medium to light use (for me) I'd be lucky to get 12 hours. I bet I could go two days on my DNA before I'd HAVE to plug in. As always, YMMV.
On days when I use my DNA heavily (3+ hours of streaming videos with some web browsing mixed in + another combined 1-2 hours of texting, checking FB, etc), I can make it from 6AM through to 12AM. Granted, I'm usually at around 9% by 12AM, but I can still make it through the day without needing to worry about battery. On days when I just use it for the 1-2 hours of texting, checking FB, etc., I can go for 2 days before I need to charge. I am mostly in 4G LTE areas, with around 1 hour combined time spent underground with no signal. My mobile network is always on, I never use WiFi, my auto-sync is always on, and my screen brightness is set to around 40%.
So in my honest opinion, the DNA's battery is quite decent. My brother has an SIII and he doesn't get anywhere close to these numbers.
I'm on my second day of using the phone (I had it on the charger for hours the previous day until around 4:30 P.M.) It is currently 9:56 A.M. the next day and I have about 46% on the battery (Quoted use time is 14h 29 min on battery). This is on moderate use, so not too shabby. I have never had a good battery in any of my phones (I came from the regular Droid Razr, so 2020maH vs. 1780maH) so I am used to not having a good battery.
FYI, I rooted this and flashed a ROM on it about a week ago, and there isn't any definitive upgrade over battery performance yet. While it's nice to have no bloatware, I haven't found anything out that really is much of a benefit over Sense 4.1 in terms of performance/battery. Too many bugs to work out yet.
Battery Life
The battery life on the DNA has FAR EXCEEDED any expectations I would have had.
I have had the phone about 3 weeks now and I do not use it heavily, so I have gotten up to 3 days, 6 hours of battery out of this thing.
The least I have gotten has been about 23 hours and that was driving from NH to NYC and making calls, texting(not while driving of course :angel: ), GPS navigation running and checking things like FB and Twitter. Average seems to be about 29-30 hours for me.
So I am VERY pleased so far, HTC did a great job with battery management.
I'm coming from a T-Bolt, which is known by all to have horrific battery life.
The DNA has blown me away in terms of battery life.
I dont do video or music streaming. But I do heavy voice, txt and constant data (exchange push, gmail, and sending lots of emails per day). Also a fair amount of web browsing, FB, twitter, and all that stuff.
Im coming from an evo lte to the DNA. Its really amazed the hell outta me the difference. I mean the evo has dual core and a smaller screen and no were near as powerful. How they can make something use less juice but that much stronger is really cool. Id say 30% better. You want me to solve ALL your battery needs and questions? Best damn thing I ever bought. You wanna talk about powerful! I rate it a 6.5 outta 5 stars lol.

With my GS3, I would range anywhere between 18-30 hours with 4+ hours of screen time. That was on ICS or JB. I was rooted with custom ROM's, but I didn't do anything special other than that. A lot of it was with the stock kernels.
I'm only on my 3rd full day with the DNA and I'm keeping a very close eye on battery life. I want to make sure I'm at least getting close to my GS3 otherwise it might not be a worthy move for me after all. So far it has been doing decent but I haven't been able to have a normal usage day yet. Today would be my first normal usage day.
If the battery holds up, I like the DNA more than the GS3, so I would keep it. If the battery doesn't hold up, I'm going to consider the Note 2.
I'm on my first full work day. Pretty confident that ill make to the end of the day.
Only issue is that I had to change my habits a little. Stock vs stock with gs3 is clear winner as far as anything media related to battery.
By no means is it horrible.

How many hours of battery life are you getting out of your galaxy note 2 ...Do you disable wifi at and data at night .Another question when I have wifi and data enabled I noticed that wifi overides data so does data do anything to the battery since wifi over rode it ..Im trying to find out wheather or not I should just disbale certian featured and have longer battery life or just purchase an extra battery and carry that around just in case I will admit one thing the battery on the note 2 is definitely good but I question when people say they get two days of battery how much usage and are they disabling wifi and data at night ? I want to get 8 hours of on screen time it seems like I might get 6 1/2 to 7 hours with a day and a half of usage but rarely two days unless im on the phone lightly like 2 hours a day maybe 3 depending on what app im using thats hogging battery life
Did you have a bad experience with a phone charger Bro? LOL
The more you disable the better but at what point does saving battery become more useful than using the phone.
I understand the obsession because I had it with my nexus so I'm not judging people that worry about it but I use this phone for work and fun with 6+ hours day screen on and I am loving that I only charge when I go to bed and don't have to worry about it again.
Mine lasts all day and I'm on it all the time. Either texting, listening to music, email ect. Maybe you have an app running it down prematurely?
I've also bought 3 extra batteries. Their so cheap. So I have one charged up and ready to go no matter what...LOL
No offence but these threads are so useless. Yesterday I got 5 hours screen time and only 11 hours. I average 7.5 hours and over 16 hours. So what's my point? it depends on location, what you're doing, what apps you have etc.
Finally you could have looked at the huge battery life thread or one of the 5 others.

If you want a reason to worry about Battery get a Nexus or Droid Charge and you will have plenty to worry about! These were my last two phones and I obsessed about battery. Now I don't worry.

True it last me all day no matter what I do that said its on the charger till I wake up and charging when in the car
As long as your not running too much in the background, you should AT LEAST get 5+ hours of screen time a day.

Just curious if anyone runs JuiceDefender? Perhaps I'm just paranoid about 4G sucking down my battery but I do hate hitting my wifi and mobile data toggles every day.

Nope, don't need it. I went through the whole micromanaging battery with OG Evo and the Galaxy Nexus. You don't need to do any of that on this phone. It has what I call "second generation" LTE radios, they are much more power efficient, and management of wifi and other radios is also improved. I leave 4G, Wifi, Bluetooth, and GPS and Google sync on all the time. Battery usage is consistently 10% per hour when screen is on, and 1% per hour when in standby connected to Wifi or good LTE signal, dropping to 1.25% in weaker signal areas. Voice uses about 1% per 5 minutes talk time.
After it passes the 50% threshold...or do I have a bad battery. I'll have 3 hours screen on time at 50%. But barely make it to 5 hours screen on time. Was the same way on my s3. Got 2 hours of screen on through the first 50%, barely got 3 hours screen on the last 50%. Noticing the same on this battery. Either the way the phone reads the battery is incorrect or the last half of the battery is messed up
I enjoy the battery very much but I see some people getting 7-8 hours screen on and I'm assuming it's because their batteries don't do what mine does

I got 5 hours screen on time out of mine with no wakelocks. However my coverage is never in the green it's always just moderate.

Never understood the big deal why people care so much about screen on time. As long as I can wake up at 4:30am and my phone last me the entire day, which includes texting, phone calls, web browsing, a few emails here and there, listening to some music.....and I can go to sleep at 10:30pm with about 30% battery left, sometimes more, I'm good. I have gone over 24hrs with regular to moderate use a few times. Battery is great in my opinion. I guess people have their own way of judging battery life...
my battery life is killer

I agree I'm just curious why my battery dies quickly after it hits 50% I ended up with 5 hours screen on time and about 14 hours off the charger which is good. I'm assuming if the bottom half of the battery didn't die off so quick then thus battery would be even better

I can easily get 20+ hours with 4-5 hrs screen time with auto brightness. With moderate usage, texting, games, browsing and YouTube.
its definitely something with your phone. i can run this phone with heavy use the whole day and be right around 45% before bed. people talking about extended batteries im like huh?

It's all in how you use your phone. Be smart with your brightness, sync settings and charge cycles and you should't have any issues at all. I got over 35 hours on my HTC One by using auto bright and doing light to moderate usage. Everyone will have different results. Also if you are rooted use "Greenify".
I work on 3rd shift (11pm-7am) and I charge my phone when I get home around 830, let it charge to 100% and unplug it before I fall asleep and I am good to go until the next morning.
Think your phone might be messed up.............

I'm able to go a full day with moderate usage easily. I am very pleased with the battery.

Starting day 4 and I think the battery is great. No complaints from a moderate to heavy work/social user...

I think mine might be bad too. I can't seem to get more than 9 hours usage unless i leave it in airplane mode all day. Im going to try returning it on Friday.

My battery is great because of the top 50% last a long time. But once I pass that it seems like it drains fairly quickly. My first note didn't do that. Plus when I unplug my phone, it drops to 98% within 10 minutes of no usage

Try watching your phone and unplugging at 99%. Its probably dropping to 98% because when your phone reaches 100% it does a trickle charge where it drains a little then charge again. You might be removing it during that cycle.

Testing today and I'm at 90% after 3 hours and have an hour of screen time. Pretty amazing. yesterday I was at 40 minutes screen time. I also killed the battery off last night. I read it wasn't good, and I read that it was. So far so good. Will run it all day and see how the bottom 50% works today.
This is all on 3g while listening to music

First day I had it while setting everything up, screen on, apps chugging away... After 6 hours it had only drained 40% from a full charge.
Second day, rooted. Playing with a huge variety of apps to find the right ones for me. 5-6 hours screen time, 5% from a 85% charge. I was however downloading a massive collection of large files over WiFi, that will use a chunk of battery.
Last night I adjusted all my settings to optimize power consumption and improve battery life, installed Greenify and hibernated apps that like to linger after closed. Removed all unnecessary apps and Stopped useless imbedded apps. Will report at the end of the day my results.
So far it seems that the battery life you get out of a stock battery is based on how you use your phone, what you use it for and how long you use it. Turn off any features you're not currently using, such as Bluetooth, GPS, WiFi or put the phone in Airplane Mode when you're not in service so it's not constantly searching for a signal.
I watched half of a 1080p movie with a Bluetooth stereo headset, basic functions running in the background and only dropped 10% (45mins). This AMOLED screen uses much less power than that of my previous phones, the CPU seems to process quickly and efficiently, I would have assumed a 1080p video would use more resources to decode.
Just charged my phone from 40%, I got 21 hrs out of it with 4 hrs screen time, music, texting and general browsing. I will post a screenshot tonight when I get low again.
Oh I also ran Antutu like 10 times showing friends.
