I am going away to Belgium for two and a half weeks. I will unlikely have access to a wall outlet. I have 7 batteries for my S3. So at the moment i am trying all the ways possible to increase the battery life of my S3. I run a stock rom with a siyah kernal. I use stweaks to undervolt my cpu but 100mv and have the max freq. set to 700 ghz. I also have it locked to one core.
Does any of this help increase battery life.
Any other suggestions?
Grateful for any help.
hmmm battery saving app might help
also black theme will help and black background
powersaving govener will help 2
anyway why 7 batteries :/ u could bought 2zero lemon ones and enjoyed
Cause I constantly have my phone in a trident kraken case. I am well aware of the zero lemon batteries as my friend has one. But it would require serious kidding of my case to accommodate a zero lemon battery in my case. Plus the batteries were only £5 each.

owh good for you
and i agree with you about the case thing it becomes a tank with zero lemon since its 7000mah something but i saw someone modifying a utter defence case for it at least it looked like a cool tank
anyway with some tweaks you will get a good battery life though it all depends on how you use the phone for example if its in sleep mode it can last for 6 days on one battery but full use your looking at 6 hour on screen probably
With what I have atm I can get get 5 hours of the screen on with the cpu running flat out at 700mhz on two cores. I also have a solar charger with me so I should be fine. Do u think reducing the clock speed further will help?

Would flashing a different rom make a difference, such as a really stripped down one that is compatible with dual booting on the siyah kernal. Also is there a way I could limit the apps that are allowed to run. I already have juice defender to limit the apps that have connectivity.

There are millions of battery posts on here to read . Also a number of how to get better battery life posts .
Simplest in my view is to carry a spare battery .

Delete all your apps (especially google apps) which u don't need. Turn off account sync, this is what the most battery drains. If u are in uncovered area, turn flight mode on, steadily searching for net could cause battery drain too.

Yea, I've tried all those apps, task killers, battery savers. Battery life is my least concern now since I have batteries.
My problem is connections. In high 4G areas I'm usually only getting 3g and I get a lot of no data connections.

Dayum. How do you charge all those?
Just a suggestion, see how your battery life fares if you keep your screen brightness under 25% (if you can).
I use two wall chargers. I average 3-4 batteries a day which works out well for me. I've tried the lowest setting I could possibly go with still seeing the screen, didn't seem to help much believe it or not.
Since I've gotten the backup batteries I just have it on auto brightness now.
Aside from the battery life, I'm more concerned now about the limited 4G I get and no data at all at times.
I would also think even though the battery cover is built well, I think it will wear out from all the removals.

wow, that was nice!!!
Sadly you won't be able to get much more performance out of a stock-sized battery, the manufacturer usually fits the largest battery they can in the phone. Any third party claiming to have a higher capacity is usually lying about the specs.
I would instead focus on software tweaks, I can easily get a full day out of my stock battery with moderate use.
I don't lower any of my settings. I keep the push email. Sometimes I use Live Wallpaper. I let my device pull LTE data speeds whenever I want. With the extended battery it lasts longer than I need in a day. Other than needing to order a case I don't mind. The bulge in the back is not as bad as some people made it seem. Pros outweigh the cons for me.

app helped my battery life
I'm new here and the TB is my first Android phone. I came across an app that has helped with my battery life..... called keyboard backlight controller. It allows you to turn off the two lights that eluminate the four soft keys on the bottom of the phone. I've only been using it a couple days, but really seems to have helped by having those lights off, not HUGE diff, but anything helps.
Not sure if this was the right place to post this, but thought it might be helpful to others. It does require root.

It would be helpful if you elaborate your Note's set-up. Such as like what ROM is being used, brightness level, LTE/no LTE, etc...
My Note currently has no issue lasting a full work-day with LTE on the whole time. And this is with moderate usage. (No videos, and minimal music)
I'm satisfied with mine... Just keep a charger near by.

There are only a few reasons why you see your battery life as terrible.
1) You are coming from an iPhone. But now you're using a tool of a phone, not a toy, so your battery life will be lower.
2) You are coming from the Droid RAZR MAXX, which is the only android with a bigger battery.
3) You have a rogue app that you didn't use before that is draining your battery life.
4) You are using excessive amounts of LTE data, and you came from a phone without LTE.
If those apply to you, there's your answer. If they don't, you may just have a bad device or battery.
You really need to be more specific when stating something as subjective as battery life is terrible. May I suggest you post screenshots of your battery stats so that you can give some insight to why your battery life is terrible. Coming on these forums and ranting without evidence won't get you very far.

Pretty much every device is unique, even though they are produced and assembled in identical fashion. It's possible for a device to have faulty software or internal hardware from the factory that could drain battery, and it's also possible for it to be shipped with a faulty battery. It's not a common issue, but also not unheard of. If nothing in his usage of the device is out of the ordinary, then it's possible he received a faulty device or battery, and should exchange it.

Install cpu spy and make sure you are going to deep sleep. For weeks I couldn't make it through the day and once I realized that the phone wasn't sleeping I found the app that was causing it and deleted it. I get great battery now but still reboot every morning because my original charging cable was lost so my phone will not sleep until I reboot.

I would say battery life can be defined by screen on time only.

Compared to what???
If you are trying to compare your Note to Apple itoy that is like trying to compare pink tricycle with pink tassels to a Corvette ZR1. No comparison at all, definitely more than apples and oranges. Having owed, well still own till I sell it, Dell Streak only other 5 inch screen out there. Agree it is still not apples to apples (or vette to vette), but Shelby Mustang to ZR1 and can say the battery performance is about the same. I upgraded my Steak to a 2400 mAh battery and had all services on and OC'ed to 1.9 ghz, yes I know single core, standard definition resolution, etc, but as close as you can get in 5 inch screen world. So far the 2500 mAh and stock ROM, with everything on, battery time is relatively the same. Will say only phone that might compare is Samsung Skyrocket HD that is set to come out this month(?), inside they are close to the same, but the screen is 4.6 inch super Amole plus.
Can anyone help me out? This is my battery on battery monitor widget. It says 1500 mah. I've only had my phone off the charger for 3 hours and I'm on 33 percent and watching it drop fast.

Battery Monitor Widget guesses at the capacity (or hard codes it). Go into the apps settings and you can tell it the battery capacity.
Also, make sure your using decent batteries. The two for $15 deals on ebay are not direct replacements. Stick with oem or brand names llike Anker.

The battery has a small area cut into it to path the speaker out the bottom of the phone. It sounds pretty loud to me, but I will have to swap back to the original battery to check the difference.
I have gone 3 days of pretty medium usage. Its definitely an impressive battery!

Yep same here through my second cycle now. When it gets to 1% I power off remove battery and replace and power on to 4-15%. Normally run a battery waster app to drain. Been meaning to exercise same principle to charging but lazy about it. When I get through 5 cycles I'll probably check out one of the calibration apps. Crossing fingers...

Its pretty hefty but I've gotten used to it. I would say it triples weight and thickness of the phone. IMO peace of mind knowing my phone will always last all day no matter what I throw at it is worth it. Lol coming from a iPhone I had "battery shock".

LOL yep my stock battery and 2 extra hyperions are going to be collecting lots of dust.
This thing is a beast! This is first day after initial charge. Pretty heavy use. Stock battery would still be going as well but with only maybe 25% instead of 77%.
I did notice that my percentage actually goes up by 1% occasionally even I turn screen off. You guys get that as well?
My battery has gone from 63% to 67% in the last hour. Lol
