Battery life question

[alarratt]

I just upgraded to the Note 2 from a RAZR MAXX that was just terribly slow. So far, I love the Note for its speed compared to the MAXX, but the battery life seems a little on the low side based on some of what I've been reading. After 9.5 hours I have 27% left. Over these 9 hours, 2 were playing podcasts, about 15 min. of youtube, and another 30-40min. maybe of random browsing/game playing. Is this normal, or will replacing the battery(with one that fits in the stock case) gain me a decent amount of time?

I get excellent battery life. You might want to look at your apps to see of one of then is preventing your phone frying going into deep sleep. Good luck

I downloaded greenify and deep sleep, and it seems to be helping. I'll upload a screenshot later when it's low. By the way, how do I take a screen shot on this thing?

There are a few ways to take a screen shot. I think the easiest is to press the button on the S-pen while touching the screen with it for a second or so.

It's not bad, but nowhere near 2 days. .. how much do you use it over those 2 days?

About 3 hours screen on time.

Can anyone get more than one day of battery life with Kit Kat? I know my battery took some hit. Not much. At least when I am on cell data not WiFi.
