Order a zero lemon 9300 mah. I get on average almost 4 days per charge with around 11 hours screen time in a horrible signal area. Im always on an extended network and at work I have zero signal. I love it

Back on the Note! Apparently the person I traded to was a habitual phone switcher and his mom required he switch back. Damn kids. Lol luckily I'm a nice guy.

Wow, I'll say. You've been playing musical chairs with phones. :D If your battery doesn't work out maybe think about trying a Zerolemon battery, a lot of posters think they're pretty good.

I don't know what happened between trading it away on Saturday and getting it back on Sunday but this is yesterday after charging up to 95%...

I was on Wi-Fi all day and I am using power saving mode...

Oh .. Hm. One thing you could also try is turn down the brightness of the screen. That could save some battery. What you have there isn't terrible but it's not as good as you should be getting, still. :confused:

I'm actually ok with this. If I can duplicate that at work today with switching LTE off using Phone info then I'll be a happy camper. The reason I'm switching lte off is because I think my excessive drain may be due to this Note always seeking lte that it's not going to find! Typically, all I ask for from a device is to get me through my work day without fear of my battery dying! I can charge on my commute!

Good! I hope it will work. I know how nerve wracking it is to be out and the phone is draining battery. That makes me so nervous. :eek:;)

I noticed during my 24 hours with the S4 that after side-loading 'Phone Info' the app wouldn't open on 4.3. I sure hope that I don't run into that when this Note 2 gets 4.3. The ability to toggle LTE off is something that should come standard on these devices anyway.

Yes, I agree with that. I wish I could access a bunch of toggles from the notification shade. Probably can with a third party app. :rolleyes:

I'd be fine if it was anywhere in the settings as an option since it would only have to be done twice during the day and the time between toggles would be 8-10 hours!

Yes. There must be apps for toggling though right?

Left work with 50+ percent of my battery remaining. But, I only had around 1.25 hours of screen time! Too much background stuff happening in Android. Lol

If 3 hours is to be my screen on target then I should able to hit that pretty easily!

Sitting at 82% after 6 hours, 44 minutes! That puts me on pace to reach 30 hours before I get the 19% low battery notification!
