It should get much better than that. My battery got better and better after i got it. My note 1 will be at 40 to 50 percent after a workday with fairly heavy use. 20 percent by 10pm.

What am i doing wrong ...cos my battery life looks pretty bad

I have to say I'm pretty impressed with battery life too. Great to be able to charge just once every day & a half.

Probably nothing, the battery is big but i don't think it's that big for the screen size.

I'm getting about 17 hours average so far. This thing is a beast!

Lets see after the lte model launches....

Is that on 4g??
Lte sucks up battery life! I think this note 2 on lte with heavy use will get about 6/7 hours of use. I get around 10 hours on the maxx

[Zoome9]

Nah I'm currently on T-Mobile. Switching over to straight talk later this month

I am wondering the same thing!! LTE is a battery hog.

[Mrosales1122]

My battery seems to be getting better. It has to be your lte. I have the tmobile version, no lte.

Android system is using the second most amount of battery, that means you are hardly actually using your phone

[leroybrute]

Those of you running 40 to 60% percent screen on time are getting excellent battery life, especially with 25 to 45% percent battery left after 13 hr's.

The Sprint and US Cellular models are LTE though their networks have very little LTE coverage.
Still, I have seen very few battery complaints from this BIG screen. I was expecting more.
Users have generally been praising the battery life of this beast along with everything else (the only discernable negative complaints are over a 1 second wake up lag and frustration on waiting for the Multi-View upgrade).

But as you mentioned, the big battery test will be the Verizon launch because of their huge LTE network. Also, we should have a larger sample size to report in because VZW will sell more units with vastly more customers than US Cellular or Sprint combined.

Very true, verzons Lte will be the big test. "real" 4g speeds suck up the "excellent" battery life. Sadly for me i haven't seen a True battery review yet

Read anandtech's review. He was predicting that the Note 2 would have better battery life on LTE than on T-mobile's 42mpbs gsm network. Apparently the new LTE modem on this device is extremely efficient. This would be very exciting if it holds true.

"On T-Mobile DC-HSPA+ the Note 2 also does pretty well, it’s in the upper third of our results, still above the SGS3, and among other phones I subjectively consider to have great battery life on cellular like the One X (8960). I suspect if I had been able able to get the Note 2 on AT&T LTE (more on that later) we’d see even better run time thanks again to the race to idle advantage that you get with the faster air interface." - anandtech

I have the Sprint version with 4G LTE coverage in Fort Worth Texas and for 2 days in a row I've gone 15-16 hours w/o charging and had at least 30% battery remaining. I love the battery! My old phone was the GSII (Epic 4G Touch with ICS) and that one was horrible since the ICS upgrade. I'm very happy with the Note 2.

Fort Worth Texas, My home town !!! Good to know that my note will be good to go there.

You're using Firefox.
Its a memory/resource hog
Try Chrome or default browser an I'm sure you'll have a little better battery life.

[tyson.clarke]

These shots are less useful than a screen shot of the screen time. Tap the screen percentage and get the amount of hours the screen is on.

I get about 4 hours at 30% screen brightness on my S3 if I use it all at once, about 25-30% less if used throughout the day.

[Lawrence76taylor]

Maybe syncing too Much Stuff. But one thing I've noticed is that you are leaving your screen on whole lot more than other people .
