Note 2 Battery Life is Phenomenal

[THE JUICEMAN]

Can this be done on the phone itself using any file explorer?

Sorry not sure about that either.

Hmm. I guess I will test it out on my friends Note 2 tomorrow and if anything goes wrong he can go back to a nandroid backup 😛

Actually, I'm just looking at my iPhone 4S now.

usage: 4 hrs 22 minutes
standby: 1 day 10 hrs

26% battery left. Bluetooth turned on all the time. My Note 2 has bluetooth turned off.

Not sure if usage is the same as screen time, but I'm pretty sure the on screen time is at least over 3 hours.

Apple counts anything where the phone is doing something as "usage" even if the screen is off and it is checking notifications or playing music or stuff like that. It significantly inflates the "usage" number.

That explains a lot. I never knew that.

This.

That's why its not very fair to compare usage to screen on time. Unless you time it its impossible to know. I've killed my 4S battery in 6 hours usage over an 8 hour work day....I'm positive I did more then two hours worth of work...

Its like "phone" on Android battery usage list. The battery will be getting used quite a bit but the screen is off.

Obviously don't remember nokia's of yesteryear lol I remember having to search for my chargerer because it'd been 5-7 days since I last used it. Lol

I remember those days too. Now I have to charge my phone on a daily basis.

Think my first 'smartphone' was the Nokia communicator which had a battery life of 2 days on the slim battery or 4-5 days on the long life battery. Yeah it was a house brick but everything was back then. Lol

I wish the N4 got that type of battery life. That is just insane with that screen shot.

I never ever knew that. That changes things quite a bit. Good information.

You ought to mention that in the Nexus 4 threads!
