Note 3 battery life.

[superairwolf]

When I first got my Note3, I was thoroughly unimpressed with the battery life as well. It took a couple of weeks for the battery to "settle in" and not I get much better performance - so much so that the spare battery I bought after the first week of use has yet to touch the phone. Give it a week or two of regular charge cycles and see if it doesn't improve, I'd say.

True. I got my note 3 this week and also got an extra battery kit. I immediately used both batteries. Both came with an initial charge of 70+%. Use during the first cycle was unimpressive. But after a couple recharges, both batteries give stellar longevity, way better than my experience with my S4's.

Is this serious? That's very good battery life.. On average I get 4-5 hours screen time and 1 day total battery life

I always carry a spare battery with my battery kit so battery life doesn't matter too much. Even got a 3rd battery

A little over 7 hours of screen on time.

I bought mine last Friday. After a couple days I noticed that I was getting about 8-10 hours on a charge with decent use.I did all the battery saving tricks too. Two days ago I noticed that Google Search was taking up about half the battery. I restarted the phone and turned off Google Now. I got down to 40% after 18 hours. Amazing. I think Google Now was a big part of the problem.

What you also have to keep in mind is that the phone shuts down some of its processing cores when the screen is off and its not doing anything. As soon as you turn the screen on its ramping everything right back up expecting you to be using it. My GSAM battery results tell me that I get 15 hours and 59 minutes of battery life. This is with 4g on the entire time, GPS on the entire time, bluetooth on in the car, waze running while I'm driving, podcasts playing, and screen on use is about 4.5 hours. No powersaving mode, no wifi, etc. On a day of light usage (weekends) I can get to 18 hours unplugged and still have 50-60% battery remaining.

6 hours of screen time is good..

Regardless if you use it for texting only.. A screen on is a screen on..

When I'm at work I get much less than that because of a weak signal, barely 4G, no LTE and it often drops to EDGE. Right now I'm at 4hr 18min on battery 2ith just 30 min of screen on. I'm assuming the weak signal is the reason for my short battery life. When I'm just about anyplace else I get much better life. I can get a bit over 5 hours of screen on time normally. Even better when I'm on wi-fi, but unless/until there's a fix for the slow speed and dropped calls over wi-fi I'm kinda stuck on mobile data.

Hi, i just bought my note 3 last sunday. I think that my battery drains fast because I only use it for texting and looking at the time. I also use chrome a little but it is very minimal.

I got 18 hours of battery from 100% to 0%. And about 6 hours of screen time. Considering how I use my phone it drains fast. I turned everything off like gestures, airview, motion gps, bluetooth etc. It was also on power saving mode the whole time. Please help me what should I do. The brightness is also the lowest option. I followed all the battery saving tips but I still get saMe battery life.

One of the reasons I picked the Note 3, was because of the REPLACEABLE BATTERY. I do a lot of Netflix Movies, and watching sports on ESPN.. Very seldom I have to recharge my Note 3, because I am packing spare batteries, and only 10 seconds away from another full 100%. They last just as long as the stock battery. I think they are missing the NFC att.

I used these, they are inexpensive and they work. The charger that comes with it charges the stock battery too.

These were $17 when I got mine. The word is out on how good they are, the price has risen.. Still at good deal at $25

My phone, I mean iPhone used to always die on me when I would be out. I would only get 3-4 hours on those phone... I do a lot of facebook, browsing, emails and texts.

Now I can get about 6-7 hours and don't have to worry about battery life. My phone could easily last me through the day without it dying.
I got a spare battery. It's small and flat.
Put it in your pocket or purse and you're good! I find that I rarely have to use my spare but just in case.
It's much better than waiting for your phone to charge.

What settings do you have to get that kind of usage?

I get just over 6 hours onscreen time. I clear cache and memory every few hour's, have screen set to turn off after 15 seconds and brightness set to about 40% if it was on auto my brightness would be -3. Longest I've gone without charge and very light use is 58 hours. Shortest drain was 100% to zero in 3 hours with my kids playing modern combat 4 continuously.
