Battery Performance - Wow!!!!!!

[Blue1k]

Getting around 16-20 hours of battery EASILY. Stock I was getting about 7. For 16 hours, that is with 4+ hours screen on. Right now at 89% with screen on for 1.3 hours and phone unplugged since 7am (about 6 hours).

Rooted running Abyss Kernel with SetCPU running from 100MHz to 1.2Ghz on Abyss governor.

Social Hub, Wifi-Sharing, Wifi-Sharing Manager, Software Update processes frozen (huge battery drainers) with Titanium Pro.

Running BatteryXL app with custom settings (an amazing battery saving app).

MAKE SURE TO DISABLE BACKUP in SETTINGS>PRIVACY This is another cause of battery drain as the phone will not sleep properly.

I get at least 4 days out of mine.. I turn off 3g when I dont need it, disable auto sync and use Tasker profiles to automate account sync. Turn pretty much everything off at night, and only lose about 8% battery overnight.

I also use Tasker to turn everything off when I place my phone face down.. so just get calls and sms etc...

Yeah, I don't understand those of you that are getting these high hour numbers. I turn off everything not running. Check email every 15 mins, don't even listen to music on the thing. 6 hours maximum at best on my best hair day. The thing slurps batt power.

My experience is totally different, I comute up to four hours a day, music over BT, phone calls (business line) some internet, mail, SMS, ocasional game, GPS, weather widget, live wallpaper and I still have juice at the end of the day, with moderate use I can easy get two days out of a charge.

I did have one clock/weather widget that alone was eating 25% battery a day, so much depends on what you have loaded on the phone...

Are you stock? If so, that is why. Try my suggestions. They work

Interesting stuff. Good to know its possible with a well compiled kernel. Perhaps the Note isn't completely off my list after all.

I'm getting great battery life also. I haven't had anything lower than 1 day 5 hours. The best i've had is 3 days. I'm rooted with juice defender and droid wall. (no roms) My usage is about moderate. I use it to check email/Facebook/surf while at work and at home I use it as my tablet for an hour+ each night. Absolutely love it!

Does anyone know how to turn the data off?

There's no widget unlike on the desire.

Yes there is a widget to turn off the data, check the play store and search data switch.

To turn off data just hold your POWER button for 3 seconds, then select DISABLE DATA NETWORK. almost as fast as a widget


My performance is awesome. I rooted my phone, (no roms) froze the unneeded tasks, then installed SETCPU and bam! awesome! Now when the phone is sleeping it under clocks to 200mhz. I now lose 1% battery while sleeping for 9 hours.

Thank you.

@McGilli,

Thank you.

Well, the Note is my first Android device ever, and I only got it 6 days ago. So I am no teacher! However, I found it easy to figure out once I found the right website.

I am also new to this forum, and I don't know if I am allowed to post links to other sites. (admin please remove if not allowed).

I found this site, and this tutorial. The fellow also has a tonne of Youtube videos showing how to root the Galaxy, and all the rome you can run on them. really informative site.

This link is for Mac AND Windows users. I followed this on my Mac and was done in about 10 minutes.

But please, I can't really help otherwise. Again, I have only done this once...

@McGilli

Sir, did you perform the ff.:

1) back-up data

before rooting your phone?

Thanks.

Sir, I can't download "ODIN" and "Abyss Kernel". Can you tell how/ where can I download those files to be used in Rooting my Samsung Galaxy Note?

Thanks.

I did NONE of that. I just followed the instructions on the webpage. I updated my firmware AFTER rooting.

I don't know. those files ARE NOT in the instructions I sent you. I never used them. I followed the 5 steps on the link I posted, and I was done.
