at %67 i would of had like 11 or 12 hours usage. depends how much you use it throughout the day and your settings
When you get your new phone, if from the manufacturer, the best thing to do with it is to drain whatever battery is left in it till it hits 0%. Then fully charge it and drain it again. This is power cycling and should be done at least 2-3 times to help extend your batteries life.

I had already disabled auto, and I just lowered brightness to about 50%....I really like it brighter (a bit older eyes here ugh!) I just dont get it! I know so many have written how they do so much on this phone trying to kill/see how much they can get out of the battery and haven't!If you can stand it, make your brightness around 30% and disable auto. See if that helps

Battery calibration is a farce. There is no app that can calibrate your battery. All they do is erase your stats. Charge it all the way and let it go down to 10% or less. Do that every now and then. Erasing stats does nothing.
Thank you and I mean nothing but true respect.....with that said, I am completely baffled by this as the battery on this phone is supposed to be out standing! I do realize that this phone has a BIG screen and it is packed with a lot of Power and requires a lot of power, but......isn't something like email one of the main purposes of a smartphone? Although this battery is lasting a bit longer than my Thunderbolt, but really not by much! Yes, I know there is NO comparison between the Note 2 and the Tbolt.....I guess I expected so much more from the Note 2 battery based on what I have read. I did set Gmail and my Cox mail to manual, so they sync now only when I open the app, which seems to me will take the same power if when I open it, it has to bring in 50 emails in one shot, maybe I'm wrong??I can tell you it's probably your Cox mail that's draining the battery. The standard email app is to blame for alot of battery drain issues. If you can turn that off to manual update. See if that helps.

This is similar to what I am experiencing, accept I seem to lose the first 50% of my battery very quickly....this morning, I went from 100% at 7:00 am to 64% before it was even 11:00 am and that was only looking at email, and Android Central and 2 minutes on Facebook. Like you said,The second 50% of the battery seems to last longer....but I am still worried about getting through One day compared to hear people say they could go 2 full days without a charge.....I don't get it.The initial drop from 100% down to 97-92% range seems to happen quickly, and then it levels off and drains very slowly.
The GN2 has amazing battery life. You won't be disappointed in actual day to day use.

No way you can get close to 48 hrs with the 3200mah stock battery, unless you have real minimal use

are you shutting off data and wifi when you are not using it? are you set to LTE/CDMA in settings>more settings>mobile networks>network mode?This is similar to what I am experiencing, accept I seem to lose the first 50% of my battery very quickly....this morning, I went from 100% at 7:00 am to 64% before it was even 11:00 am and that was only looking at email, and Android Central and 2 minutes on Facebook.

During those hours of major power loss are you in a building with poor reception? are you using any task killers besides the stock task manager?
