will VZW Note 2 have better, same, or worse battery time compare to my current VZW Galaxy S3?

[Johnly]

my Note 2 arrived this morning.... first thing I did was plug in the charger. It was already at 76% out of the box, so didn't take too long to reach 100%.

I've played it for the last two hours, but the battery has already dropped to 47%. Can this be right? All I did was browse the internet, play with the S Pen. No video or audio playback at all. Scree brightness was on auto.

Will it improve after a few more charging cycles?

You need to post screen shots. Separates the true from the false and helps us to help you. Just the basic three, battery, screen on time and application use palm swipe to capture.

how do I do screenshots on the Note 2?

the strange thing is the the #1 item on the battery usage list is something called "Media Server"
but I haven't even played audio or video on the phone yet. It is showing 42%.(!)
Is this normal?

should I charge the battery to 100% with the phone completely off,
in order to get a more accurate battery usage reading?

Thanks!

Just slide the edge of your palm across the screen.

This is tricky if you have huge hands like me. I basically have to swipe my pinky across for it to work

Home and power button at the same time. Works best for me.
