I got my note from tmob and have it on att.
After root and killing all the bloat, the battery is just amazing on this phone.
I am at 1 day and 10 hour off the charger with screen time of 3 hours and 52 minutes and I still have 49% battery
Thats with facebook and gmail checks all day and running in the background. Photos, text etc etc.
Finally 2 day + phone
I'm actually pretty disappointed by the battery life... I "only" get 6.30h ost and 1 day battery life(no wake locks and the phone is settled pretty well with useless function disabled), with sync always active and on wifi only, I personally thought that it will be better considering all the good comments on the webs, I was getting the same battery with my iPhone 5 before(that it's very criticised for its battery).

I turned off most syncs under Settings -> Accounts. Did the whole google services uninstall updates and cleared data. Great battery life also.
1d 1h 24m on battery. 19% screen. 64% remaining.

That sucks having to turn of syncing. That's the main feature of a smart phone. Sync to and from computer or cloud.

My Note 3 has had awesome battery life, far exceeded my expectations! 10hrs at work with moderate to heavy use with a signal only 75% of that time (inside a building with thick concrete and re bar, not the phones fault). At most ive used 48% of the battery and that does not include the commute. I have sync turned on as well.

Syncing it self is turned on, its the individual settings that's been changed:
Sync Chrome? no..
Sync Gmail? no...
Sync My Tracks? no...
Sync Picasa Web Albums? no...
Sync ChatOn Contacts? no...
Sync Samsung Calendar? no...
Sync Internet? no...
Sync Scrapbook? no...
Sync Skype Contacts? no...
So I'm not really sure what you're getting at. K9 handles my mail via push. Google calendar, contacts and one or two other things is left on but everything else I don't need it waking up my CPU every so often to sync.
Also for the Accuweather widget, all the battery saving features are turned on (which aren't on by default for some reason), sync every 4 hours.
@op : could you tell us which bloat you removed?
Also is there anyway to root safely that doesn't void the warranty?
I have the N9000 version
basically anything that was tmobile or just garbage. I also freeze a lot of stuff I simply never use. S-voice.. nope.
Not sure on the warranty thing. I am fairly certain this will trip the Knox counter which I dont think has been cracked to roll back... but thats just my understanding.
Battery life is pretty decent, provided you manage your phone as opposed to being a lazy sod who sets everything to automatic.
"But it's meant for it!" being the world's most idiotic excuse after "she asked for it", everyone with a scrap of common sense understands that there is a whole universe between 'what the customer wants' and 'what is possible according to the laws of physics'.
WiFi eats about 15% per hour, with the screen off. 3G 5%. Add the screen and cpu to that and make you own calculations.
I do 10 days with mine if I turn everything off and manually toggle 3g on once every 2h to check mail.
I've been on 3g, tapatalk & 30% brightness, went from 100% to 94% in 10 minutes.

I use it mainly for office purpose and email exchange is ever hungry on push mails. I was quite disappointed to see that I was charging twice a day in day time. But after the OTA update things seems better, where I charge only in night.
Anyways, I got my 12,000 mah power bank for emergencies. I hate swapping batteries.
My heavy uses are exchange emails, browsing, WhatsApp. That's all, and yet Note 3 craves more power. Need on the go sunlight/light charge system

My battery last so long that at the end of the day I am doing stuff make it run down.
Of course I turn off wifi when not using and data.
I am pretty sure with root I could get more but I need my warranty for at least another month.
Usually a device will show its faults in a month so I will wait.

I've had my N3 for a week now, and compared to my razr HD, it runs at least a day longer. I'm on about 3 full days per charge.
As my phone is more or less a toy, I don't use the internet part that much (I have a 200MB restriction) while away from home, but regularly use wifi for about an hour per day. Other than that, I use it for puzzle games and reading.
I know that this won't match others usages, but I'm ok with 3 days. Maybe if I tweak some settings, I get 4???
I'm quite disappointed too with the battery, the screens chews up too much battery on full brightness

Hi all.
Looking for some serious help. Coming from a Samsung vibrant. I need help with how to save battery life on the sensation. I have been off charger for 5 hours and 51 minutes and am down to 41%. Is this normal? I have been only texting really. I got my data from battery monitor.
Thanks in advance. Anyway to make this better?

It all depends on what you're using the phone for. I'm at 55% after 12 hours. yesterday I got 17 hours. if all you're doing us texting then no,thats not normal. but I suspect you're probably doing more with it than you realize since its a new toy.

Stop Android from phoning home and you'll save greatly on battery life.
Best way I've found to prevent battery drain, is to stop Android from phoning home.
Once you use an app like Autostarts to stop unnecessary things from starting up all the time on their own and also block a couple ports that are not always needed via an app like DroidWall, you'll see great battery life. Also see other details in that link of things I turned off to increase battery life amoung other benefits.
For now, I can only speak for seeing the difference while using a Nexus One ROM on my HD2, but I have way better battery life, GPS lock times and faster device boot ups than ever before.
This is yet another one of the reasons I must wait till the Sensation is rooted and unlocked. Because I'm not using it while it's running things I can't better manage, so they don't drain my battery.

Well to be honest for the 8 hours I'm at work, I use it light. texting, a few calls and about 30 minutes of reading pulse and playing games. However the next 8-9 hours I would consider moderate to heavy use. I have no monitors or anything running, just running straight out of the box.
I'm at 34% after 14.5 hours today.
I charged it fully the first day, ran it to 0, then charged it fully again last night.

I think mine's even worse. Phone was off charger at 100% at 11am, by 1:30PM it's already down to 80%ish. By 4PM it was down to 40%ish, got it charged up to about 70%ish around 6PM, by midnight I was around 6% again.
So I think I'm losing around 10%/hr. That's gotta be abnormal, and the battery gets really hot too. At the moment, I have several speculations:
1. Death grip causing the phone to work harder to find signal, and tmo's coverage kinda sucks in my town
2. I have defective unit/battery
3. Some apps behind the scene are killing it. But I've checked what's running behind, even turned off unnecessary stuff using autorun manager. Auto sync is turned of only for gmails. Weather, IMAP mails, pulse, facebook etc are set to pull in couple hrs instead hourly. The battery life cannot be worse than my 2-yr old HD2.
Hey guys. Have you considered bump charging. HTC advised the idea for the HTC desire battery and it in most cases doubles the battery.
Sorry I can't be more specific bit I'm on my phone. I have found the relevant link. Read the 1st post. I'm gonna do it when I get in from my gig.

Bump charging kills the battery in long run.
If you have to do it to a brand new handset it can't be good news.

I'd suggest uninstalling battery monitor. I had installed it on my g2x and immediately saw my battery percentage drajning more quickly. Probably because its always running in the background.
The best tip I can give for better battery life is to minimize what you allow to run in the background. Get rid of any task killers, set Facebook/Twitter/Email/etc to sync less frequently, turn off wifi if you're not using it so its not scanning for networks, and so on.
Also install juice defender from the Market. Its free. It has greatly increased my battery life.

I installed the Plus version because it allows wifi control. I just use the default settings except I change so it doesn't disable wifi. I do that because I use wifi calling at home so I dont want Juice Defender turning off my wifi. I always turn it off manually when I leave the house anyway.

Yea Balanced Settings is good if you don't mind it managing your wifi too. In the Plus version I selected Customize instead of Balanced. The only thing I changed was the wifi setting.

Turn off 3G data, bluetooth, GPS, and wifi when not using it.
Try charging to 100% with tab switch on, once at 100% pull charge lead out and power down tab, then with tab switch off plug charger in again and charge to 100% once thats done unplug charger then boot and use tab as normal.
On my tab witch is rooted and using custom rom i find 3G Data eats my battery very fast but with it off my tab lasts a lot lot longer.
3g is a huge battery hog. I don't use it very often. I get 2-3 days poor of mine which includes 10+ hours of stereo Bluetooth per day and then 3 hours of 3g internet browsing. Also, having the screen off most of the time helps lol.

You must have a rogue Tab or doing something wrong.
As I'm typing this, I'm at 60% left and Tab has been unplugged for 57 hours according to Battery Indicator Pro, and I never turn off wifi, set sleep policy to "never", cause I have Gmail, calendar, Email app and other stuff like Google+, seesmic and so forth syncing automatically. Ofcourse 3g is turned off, don't have a plan yet.
Battery life on this thing is amazing.

Do you use anything like Juice Defender? Or maybe a similar function within the ROM?
I'd try stuff like that before purchasing a battery. But... it's always nice to have a spare.
Actually I see that your screen display is taking up the most battery so just lower the brightness of your phone and you will see results.
Thanks for the reply! I use a battery saving app... forgot the name of it. I know the app icon is an Android.
The screen was hogging up the battery because I was using my phone a lot. Games and browsing.

i got almost 3.5 days when i changed over to EB 4.0.4 with some texting, a few calls, a couple hours of reddit, and lots of mp3 playing. so far with having the g2x i have found that using auto with the screen and keeping wifi off will give alot of battery life no matter what with custom roms.
i am also using the anticipatory scheduler so it jumps around and a bit of undervolting.
Update to my last post. I had to reboot in the morning, so add like 20 more minutes to screen time for accuracy. I am pleased considering all the gaming and browsing. Definitely worth the extra bulk. Reliability before phone aesthetics.

That was with a ton of web browsing, FB, xda app. Made some calls and used skype for a while too.

Nothing special. Brightness at 33%, autosync is on, hotmail set for every 15 minutes... Not using twitter or any other funky accounts. I used autostarts to prevent a bunch of crap from running on its own but that's about it. I wasn't even trying to get that battery life, it just happened.

Here are settings on my phone. And, I am down to 87% with 55 min screen usage (surfing xda) and 2 hour idle.
I don't use any 3rd party taskers/battery savers etc. Also, I don't download an app that is just a mobile website. I noticed that some apps are badly coded and consume more battery than their mobile site. Browser is optimized well. Also, default browser is better to juice than Chrome Beta.
Brightness % toggle is set for 10 25 50 100. I mostly use 10 25 and 50.
I keep data off when at home or work - 90% of the day.
I use fm radio app rather than streaming radio app - tune in when I can. Saves a tonne of battery.

This has been possible with all rom so far. The most important point on such statements, as per my opinion, is always missing. Which configuration (i.e. background tasks, screen settings, power saving settings, data connection, BT, WLAN) was active during the said period. Only once there are predefined test settings (if only possible) applied - comparison is probably possible with a certain accuracy.
Anyhow, if it makes people happy sharing such information - it is worth of sharing it !

Nothing Configured for Battery saving.............. Mobile always on. Screen Brightness Auto in the middle. Nothing been changed since I Flashed MH8 for battery saving.
Just powered off BT and NFC after about 9 Hours. Google services off.
standby time is better since latest update ( at least for me )
standby, on 3g with sync, battery drops 1% / h -> 4 days standby time
airplane mode -> 1 % per 8-10 hours -> 32 days offline - never going to try this
but screen on time is rarely more than 4 hours ( browsing or game play ), with video watching could go up to 8 hours

standby time is better since latest update ( at least for me )
standby, on 3g with sync, battery drops 1% / h -> 4 days standby time
airplane mode -> 1 % per 8-10 hours -> 32 days offline - never going to try this

The only reason Im not on MH8 yet is because of the new bootloader and security things that mess up root. I really need it.

What do you mean by that? If I want to root my MH8 (new bootloader) and Change to any custom rom with CWM, I cant???)
I just wanted try the Slimed MH8 Pre rooted
I'd generally average 25-28hrs with everything on, a few message, a bit of talk time. 2 push exchange accounts. Syncing on. Bluetooth on. GPS off. Data on. Wi-Fi on. Smart stuff on. A few widgets. Live wallpaper
One day using same settings add above, managed over 2 days (see pic). The two big drops were where I ran benchmarking software to try and hammer battery
Now I always have pebble connected and using tasker/autovoice (continuous voice) get around 18hrs

How much screen time? That's what matters the most to me.
My phone performs really great when I'm on Wifi, but once 4G comes in, it drains 10%/h battery when I'm not using the phone and even more if I do.
So I have to leave 4G off most of the time to save battery but it's not really what I intended when I bought this phone.
