Is that ok ?

That battery life looks fine, if not good. 2:30 hours of on screen time and you still have 30% left. Your overall battery life could be better because the battery has only been on for 4 and a half hours, but the reason it is so low is because of the good on-screen time.

Big battery increase..

So I use my phone quiet a bit like almost constantly and I usually struggle to get 5-6 hours out of my phone.. I had done an avs antivirus pro scan and deleted a few useless sprint apps (using avs antivirus pro if you go into tools and tuneup) then I did a battery calibration the next morning when I had 100%,(which I had done before) ive now been today gotten a little over 8 hours! (actually the final time I got was 8 hours 8mins and 8 seconds )
Just a tip dont know if this will be consistant for everyone post back your results if you try it!
(this photo isnt quite at 8 hours but that 1% of battery life lasted quite a long time!)

Best I've gotten so far. That was during an average work day, heavy usage before and after work with moderate usage while at work during smoke breaks and such.

Or you could just turn off mobile data expect when you need it.
I'm going to see what I can get with it underclocked to 750mhz(second core disabled) and mobile data turned off.
This is on Rock rom, with the 1.3ghz rom from it, and I uninstalled moto portal and task manager.

You posted on the kernel thread that underclocking to 750mhz disables the second core. I tried it on multiple kernels and it gave me similar results on all of them, in battery life and benchmarks.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
That only worked on that one kernel.
I'll be making another soon

The worst observed battery life was about 3 hours when using the phone in a poor signal location and doing lots of web surfing. Max battery life observed so far was 37 hours just about 5 days ago.
I had good improvement after killing Sprint apps too. I still need a bigger battery through....

Phone takes too long to charge

Suddenly my phone takes up to 20 hours to complete charge. What's the problem? Charger or battery?

Custom rom?
First thing to try is to wipe battery stats when it's fully charged.
If that didn't fix it, ask around and switch chargers with someone.
A new battery is the last option being that it's the most expensive solution and the hardest to test.

Check kernel wakelocks using better bettery if you find "usb bus active" then this is your problem.

Kudos to the Pimp My Rom app

I have a rooted N2 with a stock rom. After installing the pimp my rom app- alpha version from Google Play... I am getting tremendous battery life. 3 days without a charge (moderate to light use).
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Pretty sure that is just the phone and large battery . I get two days in one charge and moderate to heavy use without that app. Mind adding some more detail as to what you are doing with that app or what songs you use ?

I get roughly 4 days of standby and 4 hours screen time between charges.

Exactly. I barely touched my phone today. 38mins of screen time. And that 38mins was CSR on lunch. With the battery on the N2, you dont need any fancy battery saving apps.

Precisely. I just went 41 hours on my last charge with 5 hours screen time. Just using jelly beans and pbj kernel. That's it. No app needed haha just beast ass dev's supplying the best software I've used on any phone.

Was also at 32%. If I hadn't of charged that little bit, it would have been at around 5-10%.
My intent was to speed up Stock. What I got was both speed and increased battery life. I/O tweaks, Kernel, sysctl, process priorities and much more.

I've gotten 5-6 hours of screen time already on my phone, and I could probably go almost 3 days between charges during the week if I really wanted to.
How is it?

Had Pimp my rom for my gnex, how is it for note 2?
Last time I ran pimp my rom, most of its tweaks were placebo and did absolutely nothing.

Its an awesome app but I wish he continued the development because it could have been even greater

A bunch of build.prop edits and init.d scripts, 90% of which are placebos, the other 10% of which are probably already in any ROM or kernel you're running.
Stock rom and kernel

Bizarre battery stats...

Hi all,
Phone was plugged in overnight, though it doesn't seem to reflect that here. That being said, I am still mystified by this battery life chart. Any ideas???
Thanks
