Do you leave power saving mode on all the time?

[Fruuk]

I only turn it on if I really need to save battery and know I won't be near a charger for awhile...

So majority of the time I never turn it on. I also use spare batteries which usually will eliminate the need to use this since I can swap.. Those rare times though I can't.

How are you charging the spare batteries while using your phone?

I used it for probably less than a week and it just frustrated me when it would turn things off to save power (most annoying was how it turns off sync ...and I would forget and wonder why I was getting no work emails!)

Having this phone since its release in September I've found I really don't need power save. My average battery life is over 20 hours, with over 8 hours of screen time, 8 email accounts all set to push etc.

I have a spare battery just in case ..but 8 months later I've yet to use it

Not sure how you're only getting < 5 hours of screen on time on this phone @ that %. My phone routinely has 6.5-7 hours screen on time the time it's at 30%, running complete stock software with no Power Saving and Auto Brightness on - under HEAVY usage.

The only time I use Power Saving is when I'm traveling. I'll set it on to stretch out a bit more usage out of my phone, because I do not plug in at airports for fear that I'll mess up and leave my phone sitting there for some reason, and "lose" it.

Maybe because im using network all the time and not a stable connection like wifi. I used to get 4 hours of screen on time only on JB. So 5 hours is an improvement to me. Lol.

I'm not on WiFi all the time, most of the training facilities I'm in most of the day don't have stable WiFi connections because you end up too far away, so it's actually more efficient to stay on LTE than have your phone connecting and disconnecting from WiFi and LTE for hours at a time continuously

I bought a package that has an extra battery charger... So that way I can have one in the phone and one on the charger . (see below)

I never use it. I can get through the day and rarely even be down to 25 percent.. on the rare occasions I do get that low im at home anyway or in a car.

Ive always looked at the smart phones w the bigger batteries (razr maxx, note2, droid maxx, and now the note 3) simply because I want a full day without having to be careful of how I use my phone.

Whwn I got the note3 I was curious if the 1080 screen would burn much more battery than the 720 note2 screen did.. I was happy that I dont see a difference. . The slight battery increase made up for it.

Do u think I have a bad battery? I didnt remember how much of screen on time I used to get when 1st bought the phone. But I noticed that the battery last less when I was on MJ7. It gets better on KK.

Just did a search on Amazon for spare battery charger for my model phone and picked one that did the free Prime 2 day shipping.

I used to do it until I decided to get the extra battery kit, now everything stays on apart from gps and bluetooth unless needed.

I'm not the person you asked, but it is available on the Samsung website under the Note 3 accessories sections if you want to make sure to get an authentic one. It is also on amazon at a cheaper price but you risk getting a fake one. In the reviews some say it is real and some say it is fake so there is a good chance it is a fake made to look real. It could still work of course even if it's fake.

I find power saving makes little difference
