5 hrs 54 min -- 66% left. I had the display on auto brightness, just switched it to 20% not too long ago. I'd say moderate use today. Maybe 15 emails so far, 10-15 texts. Display on time is 1 hour 30 min for 52% of my battery usage.
Yeah, I saw that, but I'm not familiar with what the colors mean. I assume green is where it's using signal, and grey is where it's not? Or is grey low signal?
I'm actually having great batter I just got my note yesterday and took it off charge this morning have like 6-7 hours on battery and 1.5 hours screen on and battery level is like 80%

Something is odd on this one.
We have similar signals and usage it looks like. I work in a cinder block factory with terrible signal. I try to keep it on airplane mode if I know Im going into poor reception areas for awhile. But I usually dont remember. I have plenty of widgets and auto syncs on.
Ive had 1.5 hours of screen time. Battery is 52%

It's your cell signal. I had terrible reception with my Verizon Nexus and since switching I am shocked at how much better my battery life is. I don't use the device more or less, but this is amazing.

What are you guys using to display battery percentage on the toolbar? I'd like an app that can do that, but the best I found was battery notifier. I'm not rooted, on stock ROM.
And, to the original poster, I normally get anywhere from 15-28 hours on battery, depending on how many emails, texts, games, photos, etc I do. I have managed to kill it in about 4 hours, but that was on a marathon plants vs zombies session.
They're rooted with cwm and used UOT kitchen to cook up a custom battery indicator that shows percentage. You're gonna have to root and get cwm to do this

Bummer, but thanks for the response.
For maybe the first time ever, I have no desire to root the phone.

I am right there with you. No root for now.

I'm gonna try running only stock apps tomorrow, with a couple of exceptions...just to rule anything out. However I've had the same issue on 3 roms, so not sure that its anything besides a signal issue. I wish there was a 2g toggle on the note

Try Battery Indicator. Puts a permanent notification in the status bar but that's the best you are going to get w/o rooting. That app is fairly small and the numbers are easy to read - others I've tried are much bigger and are hard to read.
Turn off your Wifi if you've been leaving it on. Also install CPU Spy and see if the phone is entering Deep Sleep - or not.
