So you thinking your note should last 2 weeks without charging?

3% per 5 hour is super

1% per 8hours sounds unbelievable to me, unless you keep your phone off

Its normal bro. Don't worry, it would not drain your battery that really much in a day. I'm surfing the webs a lot in a day and my batt still not giving up to be drained out to zero

It sounded unbelievable to me too...until last night that is. It was at 100% just before I went to bed and dropped 1% in over 8 hours. Thats 34 days on standby!!

If you want to know it exactly, what's going on with your battery: Go to Market and install "Battery Monitor Widget" from 3C. This is a widget which shows every 60 seconds the actual drain. But more importently is the logging-function, called "history". I set mine to update every 60 seconds to get a good idea which thing consums what...

F.e. I got my Note yesterday and put it in flight mode over night. This morning I looked at the history and got a stable 7mA drain - not bad for a 1,4GHz DualCore...

For changing the update-rate of history:
-tab widget
-left sensor --> settings
-history
-update rate history --> 60 seconds
(I don't know the exact names cause I have the german version)

Sounds about right. Mine dropped 3% in 6 hours or so.

I consistently get 1% down throught the night which is like 7 hours. During this time, Cellular data is off, wifi is off, AGPS is off. And after Note has been up for few days, sometimes it will get down by 10% through night due to rouse battery hungry app stuck in memory. Memory clear helps and it is back to regular next night and sometimes I have to reboot. The longest I can go without reboot is like 10 days by then something real battery hungry app is stuck somewhere.

Now I am using app called Tasker which is set to speak battery percentage for every change in unit, I get 3% down through night.

how do you guys avoid touching your Note for so long? i can't put mine down

Dancairo · Feb 25, 2012

Being asleep I guess ;-)

ok, if you have your radio turned off, and wifi turned off, and screen turned off, your note can last a couple/few days on standy

I misread, i thought the OP was actually USING his phone and the % only dropped like 1% in 8 hours or 3% in 5 hours which of course would be SUPER

but for me even when im sleep i leave wifi on
i could save more juice by not having the wifi on yeah sure

I have my phone drop into 'phone only' mode at 20% battery. From that point, the amount of battery use is negligible. I believe all the hype about 'standby time' now. I think it could last a week at least like that from a full charge.

The fact is it is good at conserving battery until you use the other features. Then it drains like crazy in comparison.

So to get great battery life:

Turn off WiFi
Turn off mobile data
Turn off auto-sync
Turn screen to 1% (I find 0% turns the screen off!)
Turn off GPS
Turn off bluetooth
Kill all unused apps & services
Turn the screen off.

Or, you could buy a 'dumb' phone, of course! That is effectively what you are doing by this.

Unlike Symbian where app is authorized to initiate said connection (wifi/cellular), it was possible to keep apps like email/fbook poll every 10/15 minutes. In Android, the design is such that apps don't initiate connection.

So during weekend days when email is not utmost important, I use Tasker to turn wifi/cellular/sync on every 15 minutes for short interval of time. This saves a lot of battery drain. But obviously suitable when you do not need to be on the edge of info highway.

Morning!

Second start of the day: 4mA drain in flightmode, 56mA on standby with WiFi on.

And after a full day of playing arround (no games) and getting used to the Note yesterday the battery was still at 50%...

Ah yeah, some more values:
Bluetooth on, doing nothing: 51mA (so it adds nothing more to the standard standby drain)
Bluetooth + Headset, doing nothing: 102mA

I'm certain the Note could do a week on standby.

Doing the things you mention above, I once managed to get my Dell Streak to last for 5 days after I left my charger at my girlfriend's house. The battery was already down to 50% when I left her house, so it lasted 5 days on half a battery!

I think the battery life on my Note is about 25% better than my Streak, so it could easily do a week...

You know, if you wanted it to

I can't think of any reason you would want it to, other than being without a charger like I was.
