Have had the Note 2 for a week now upgrading from a Nexus S. Huge upgrade! /rant IMHO, the reality of prompt upgrades of the Nexus devices does not live up to the potential. The A team does the release version, the B team handles the updates with predictable results (****ty battery life, lags, crashes etc)
Anyway, I like the note but I am perplexed by its battery life. No matter what I do it seems to run down. I have a decent number of wake locks, but it's hard to pin down to anything more than Google Services, Kernel, Android OS. Bizarrely even when I switched to Airplane mode battery continues to run down. I didn't switch to airplane for long, so I will try again soon...
What I was expecting to see was 1 or 2 percent per hour with screen off, wifi on, sync on (gmail and a couple of news apps set to infrequent auto updates). I am seeing more like 5+, which sucks! Any thoughts? Rooting not an option.
