From a former IP5 user to a newbie Note 2 user this thing is definitely amazing! <24 hours into using I was able to get contacts, install a couple of apps mainly mail, facebook and K9 which is similar to the iphone with all mail in one location. Anyone recommend any other apps to help my transition goes smooth...I hear about juice defender? reviews? Settings you recommend for better battery life as well? Any assistance would be great!
Do not use Juice Defender. The app is nothing more than a paid version of what Samsung gives you right from the factory. You have a 3100mAh battery, which will be more than enough for a full days use.
As long as your phone isn't trying to connect back and forth between LTE, 4g and 3g constantly and you don't have the screen on for 6 hours straight with brightness set at 100 %, you won't have any issues. People that constantly complain about poor battery life and think Juice Defender was the answer, typically live in an area where at&t's signal isn't the greatest on 4g, so your modem and cpu are working overtime to find the best signal. Just be aware of things like thi and you will be fine.
