Here is mine from yesterday.
resolution Max brightness at 80.
Not as good as S8+, but close. Screen off battery use is a little high and it doesn't spend as much time in deep sleep as it should. An update should fix that.

That's about what I am getting and my resolution is maxed out. Some people are saying not to Max it out for battery saving. But I get 6+ hours with on. Also I read that it is not good to let your battery drain all the way down. If you can help it. It helps save you battery life in the long run. I will try and find the article and post it.
Here ya go about battery life

The few people that are not getting good battery life must have lemons. Because I have the best battery life I have ever had on Amy phone. My V20 would not even get 4 hours of SOT.

What type of use did the phone have during these 8 hours? After freezing standard Samsung Internet, my device seems to be losing less battery life while in deep sleep overnight. Previously, it was losing 1.2-1.5% per hour in deep sleep. Since switching to beta version, it is finally normal @ 0.5% or it could just be that my phone finally settled in. I suspected that Samsung Internet was the battery hog from the beginning.

Austin just got LTE and I went with a friend to get the skyrocket. The lag was obvious with the browser but the internet was smoking! It's so tempting to take my less than 30 day old sgsII back to hop on the LTE train. At first glance, i couldn't tell a difference with the display crispness but knowing it's there does bug me. Anyone else go to the skyrocket from the ogsII and have any regrets?
I made the switch and have no regrets.
Can you guys comment on the battery life on the skyrocket vs galaxy s2? Have the skyrocket and no lte here yet but already a bit disappointed in the battery. Plus I figure if its this bad now it must be much worse with lte

No battery issues here. The skyrocket has been no better or worse than my last 6 android phones

I went from GSII to Skyrocket.. I have to agree, battery is not better or worse than most of my past Androids. If anything, this shows better battery life BECAUSE of how LTE should be draining more juice.
Now that ive experienced LTE, its LTE over HSPA anyday.

Battery life for me has been excellent on the Skyrocket .. for me though, I have gone past my 30 days (dammit) .. if there was choice to get the SGS2 or even back to the Infuse .. I would jump on it immediately. The fact that there is MORE out there for ROMs and customization for those other 2 phones than there is for this !!! I figured the SGS2 Skyrocket would have took off in regards to having some neat ROMs .. but I guess I jumped the gun to damn soon.. Even looking at the HTC Vivid, they're in the same boat in regards to getting anything good on there phones.

the vivid has a LOCKED bootloader, and you cant even get perm-root on it. trust me, this is the better LTE phone on AT&T right now.

Ahh just me venting .. LOL
Yeah, the HTC Vivid looked good (was one of my choices before the SGS2 Sky), but with all the crap out there from HTC CEO and his promises, I knew that one wouldn't be the one to get.
I love the SGS2 Sky .. my final choice, seeing that there was many out there for the original SGS2 (all variants) in regards to ROMs, that the LTE versions (ours and Rogers) would follow soon in regards to the selections .. ME GETTING IMPATIENT .. LOL
But truthfully .. it will be well worth the WAIT
I think things are starting to look up for the skyrocket we have johnsondr80 of the collective working on his red sonja rom, mortem taum doing amazing wallpapers, da_g doing at&t and Rogers kernels just to name a few
After using Vibrant for more than a year and recently switching to AT&T with SkyRocket, I'm seeing exceptional battery compared to Vibrant. On moderate use, it never lasted me a whole day. On SkyRocket, I have been using it moderately since 8 AM this morning and after 14 hours, I still have 14% battery remaining.

This phone has the best battery life of the 2 android phones I've had which are the captivate and the g2 and is close to the iphone 4 battery life for me. I'm not in an LTE area but the speeds are already super fast compared to those phones.
I have also been debating between the gsII and the skyrocket because I love flashing roms (maybe I haven't tasted LTE yet), but I am really hoping for great developers to come to this phone. Right now I see a lot of potential though.
For now you could also use the T-Mobile SGH-T989 roms haha.
Oh and Pirateghost you made Andromeda!? I was so noob back then but that Rom was awesome! I'm glad you are developing for the skyrocket!

I agree The battery is the same if not better than than my Captivate. I live in an LTE market, but the phone spends a lot of time on WiFi when I am home.
I know a lot of us are looking to buy extended batteries, and some of us have already purchased some. I am personally in the former group. It's hard to judge thickness since a lot of the pictures don't really give you a side view, and don't have anything in the picture to provide scale.
I'm hoping we can use this thread as a collection of pics of the various extended batteries/battery cases to help each other see how bulky a particular battery is in order to make a more informed purchasing decision.
If you're going to add a picture, please post the brand name, mah, and try to include something in your pic that adds scale (ruler, penny, standard pencil, before and after pic, etc). Also, if you've had it for a bit, maybe throw in a couple of lines stating how you feel about the battery in regards to size/performance and whether you would recommend purchasing it.

Yes I am aware of that. All I am saying is that 1950 and higher ml after market batteries are much more readily available for the galaxy nexus than the blaze 4G. This phone does not have a lot of accessories or battery options. It was barely marketed and I am just trying to help.

I agree with your point
Some ebay listings on aftermarket batteries will have multiple device codenames ( ex. T769).
We are lucky we don't use an exhilarate, those things are below marketed. Rare to find in public at that.

Maybe note 3 isbecoming a bit old now or?

A bit old? Lol... This ain't Apple son... The Note 3 is still very powerfull and fast and it will be for a long time yet.
Note 3...almost guaranteed to have better battery life. Z2 is quite chunky even tho note 3 is bigger it is slimmer with better screen ratio compared to borders. Its not water resistant but. Xperia will take my money when battery is better and design isnt so chunky.

Depends on your needs
Note 3
-------------
Removable battery
S Pen
Bigger battery
Z2
------------
Water and dust proof
Faster processor
Better build quality
_______________
If you're into rooting and custom Roms. Samsung is much more fun as builds are released often.
I using note 3 it's very fast and it's constantly on power saver which limits the cpu.
If you need 4K video be sure to get the 4G model N9005
I wish the build quality was better though. For a flagship device it doesn't have the premium feel of an iPhone or HTC

Funny thing is I love the LG I have currently, I bought it sim free and I've only had it about a month but it's so good that I want that speed and smoothness on an even bigger screen so I ordered the Note 3 yesterday. When it arrives I'll sell the LG G2.
I can't wait till the N3 arrives, I've previously had the Note and Note 2 and the Note 3 looks like a step up.
My phone gets pretty darn hot while charging off the official charger
does anybody else's do the same?
