[Q] anyone experience decreased battery life after Beans rom flash - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

I flashed Beans rom version 3 and immediately got decreased battery life. Anyone else experience similar?

Give it a full day or two. Getting over 4 hours of screen time and around 12 hours up time

I have had it for a week or so. I get one day max on medium use. I used to get two days under heavy use on stock, it was like this way before installing any programs too... Any ideas?

Maybe try re flashing. Running well for me

I haf bad life let my battery run dead and did a full recharge before restarting anf havent had a problem since. I usually do that when I flash a rom. Or charge to 100 before I flash it.

I am getting the best battery life ever since flashing Beans 4. I am currently typing this with 1 day and 22 hours on battery with around 3 hours in screen time. Battery percentage is currently showing 55%... even if that is wrong and the phone dies at any minute, getting nearly 2 days on a charge is good for me!
I will keep it off the charger until it dies just to see how far it will go.

Battery

Well schools about to start and I need a Rom that has really good bat. Currently running viper with no mods and it lasts a good 5hr

Did you try calibrating the battery again? 5 hours is pretty short. Turn off auto-sync, and stick to 3g. And you should have access to WiFi in school, right? I got the extended battery. Money well spent. Shop around, I'm sure you could get one for a decent price.

Calibrating the battery? Is there an app for that? And school doesn't have WiFi so 4g is essential. And extended battery is too expensive. Does the aosp or cm9 do well? I don't want to flash a whole new ROM just to test the battery lol

Grab a spare standard battery and a cheap battery charger. All together its like $12 plus shipping. I got two extra standard batteries. I put on in my backpack and leave the other at home for trips and stuff.

Are you saying five hours screen on or five hours total?
Five hours screen on is fantastic. I don't think you can do better than that. Five hours total is terrible. If that's all you're getting then something is wrong.

Ineffabilis dues 1.1 has great battery life. When I stick to just 3g, a carefully adjusting brightness, I can get 15+ hrs with moderate use with 2.5-3 hrs screen on time.

Same rom, same stats for me, but I am on wifi most of the time. I can get up to four hours screen on if I'm mostly only using the phone to read a book (FBReader).
Thanks! I'll try it out today

JuiceDefender on Note 2

Anyone else using it? I've used it since OG Droid, and it's always the first app installed on any phone I get. It claims to be giving me 2.01x battery life, and with any other phone I believed it but I'm seeing people post 2 days no charge and I get about 1.25 days with very heavy use, unless I'm at work (12hr shifts 4 days a week). Thoughts? Some people claim it's junk, and I'm not so sure with a battery as big as ours we need it, or if there is a better alternative? I mean we already have a Battery Saving Mode...

I'm using it,I think if you configure it with the right settings it can save you a good amount of battery.

I personally don't think it's needed on this phone because how long the battery already lasts and I like my smartphone to stay smart. But on my lg spectrum I used deep sleep battery saver, it was pretty good.
Also on a side note time up isn't as important as screen time. I could get days if I didn't use the phone, but if you are always on it 12 hours is pretty good
Sent from my SCH-I605 (AKA NOTE 2)
I think battery saving apps are obsolete now because phone's are becoming more battery efficient and batteries are becoming larger (Mah). I don't see any need for a battery saving app anymore especially with this phone. Just uninstall it and some more RAM
I use deep sleep battery pro. very easy to set up

I had some issues with my battery when I got it. Turns out the stock clock/weather thing on the lock screen couldn't get a lock on my position (just kept saying "current location"), and would run GPS for 10 seconds whenever I unlocked my phone. After fiddling with GPS and the weather settings themselves for awhile to no avail, I said F it and just let it happen. Eventually it got a lock and since then battery life has been fine.
Battery is fine for me

Buy a new phone.
I started this morning around 75% and got to 8% in about 8 hours of heavy usage. I must have sent a few hundred texts today along with a bunch of snapchats, took a bunch of pictures, web browsing, some Navigation use, an hour or so of Skyping, and a whole bunch of other stuff. Battery saver was on, but I had data running all day, Wifi and LTE per the situation. It actually said that Messaging was the main battery hog at 32%.
What I've taken from it is that if you're going to be using the phone heavily, it doesn't hurt to have a charger.
Where do you guys see how much screen time is used? I don't see it with sense
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2
Weird, my battery just went from 8% to 32% from being on the charger for a few minutes.
I guess it's not calibrated very accurately yet.

Viper
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I have yet to have a phone that did not get improved via battery life from a custom ROM, even just a debloated and streamlined version of the stock one. Fully stock roms tend to just have too much crap on, and in, them to have wrangle out max battery life, max performance, or a truly optimal mix of both.
Using NOS underclocked to 1GHz undervolted 75mv across the board all set to conservative and 10 hours later 3+ hours of screen on data downloading GPS etc 60% Battery Remaining... Very nice

RE: Battery Life
I can't complain. NO Root or Custom Roms...Stock. Pleased and v/surprised at same time. Yesterday was crazy good. Can't remember exact bat stats, but about 2 hrs talk, 20+ SMS and MMS, NO Wifi, NO Bluetooth, maybe 15 min browsing, appx. 15 min GPS and Screen couple hrs. No tricks or apks, just always turn off locations, wifi and bluetooth when not using ans auto-sync always off. Also disabled many bloat apks that I will never use.
17 Hours total 22% with 6 Hours of Screen On Time.

I just installed Viper this last weekend and I got 60 hours on my first full charge with light usage. I don't think I even tweaked anything on the ROM or screen settings, and this is just with whatever kernel came included with the ROM.

I'm getting 16-20 hours with around 4 hours on time. I'm underclocked and undervolted , brightness at 25% most of the time, and I just supercharged my phone so I'm waiting to see if that'll help it. I know I've got my standby battery drain down to one percent every 2.5hours. Left it off the charger last night and it was at 98% when I woke up 5.5 hours later. Just gotta play with the settings and tweaks.

So what is the deal with Sense 5 Battery Saver? Do I need Battery Guru as well? CPU Tuner?
I thought battery life like this only came from AOSP ... but, maybe I was wrong.. WOW!

I get good battery life most of the time. But I am at the ball fields with my kids a lot with no way of charging mine or my wife's phone.
So I got me an Anker portable battery and it saves me all the time. I purchased the Astro E4 13000mAh Dual USB so me and my wife can charge our phones at the same time without looking for a outlet or going to the car. We can both charge our phones 3 times each on this thing before its dead.

As far as battery life is concerned, wifi > 3g > 4g.
But if you're not connected to a wifi network, leaving wifi on will drain your battery. It may not be by much, but I always turn wifi off when I'm not on wifi.

What's your Note 3 battery life like? Battery life discussion here...

So far 1 day and nearly 11 hours on my battery, no charging or anything!
Running Aosp.... I get a little less.. Maybe around 20 hours and about 4 hours of screen on time.
How much free RAM do you have on boot? On stock TW with beast mode kernel, I've seen as high as s 1802 on a fresh boot.
My best battery time was 30+ hours and 7 hours screen on time running odexed blue rom.

Excellent battery life, stock rooted.
But wifi calling causes a wakelock when it's engaged, so I disengage it when I'm not using it.

I use my device pretty constantly for email, text, gaming, phone calls and other etc applications. I'm running Freeza's Fre3 Rom for my daily driver and tend to get approximately 9 hours.

So this app claims that it checks out your battery and fixes sections not working.
I tried this on my Note 3 with great results.

I don't understand the point of bragging about the long life of a phone's battery if the phone is hardly used. I can't even get 5 hours of just internet usage out of my phone. This is the norm for the original battery and my brand-new OEM backup battery. I'm still running a completely stock rooted Jellybean ROM.
GPS - OFF
BLUETOOTH - OFF
SYNC - OFF
WI-FI - OFF
I did turn the GPS on for about 2 minutes.
1. Check the Facebook and weather sync settings.
2. Check the brightness. Move it to 50%
3. Change Display timeout to 30secs
Those 3 steps should improve battery life.
Best option: Root and flash Vision X rom. I get around 5hrs of screen on time.
Best. Rom. Ever

depends on my use but i get about 5-6 hrs of battery life. With my Zero lemon it started of good with about 2-3 days of life. and after a month it drop to about 15-20 hrs of battery life. I recently sent it in for an exchange.Now I need to deal with the stick battery for now.
I get about 15 straight hrs rooted with all apps and some battery saver application rocks woke up at430am and still at 69%
