Figured I start a thread specifically for the T-Mobile variant. I will say that I'm pretty pleased with the battery life thus far. I hated having to give up the ease of some functionality just so my Samsung OG Epic 4G could make it through the day. Meaning, turning off bluetooth, live wallpaper, wifi, etc.
I feel like I haven't had to do that even though there is a battery saver mode already. I'm currently sitting at 54% and it's been a day since taking it off the charger.
I currently have all the bells and whistles going. Live wallpaper and facial recognition to unlock. S-Pen detection and the whole 9. Anyhow, just wanted to see what everyone else is getting.
I'd be happy with 6 hours screen on time
i had the galaxy s3 before the note 2 and i have noticed huge battery improvements
I was briefly reading through the manual and saw this:
Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before
charging your device. Repeating this process of a complete
discharge and recharge can over time reduce the storage
capacity of any battery.
Pg 15
just thought I'd pass it along. I usually run my battery all the way down and let it die before recharging:

dam thanks i was about to do a few full discharge and full charge again, thanks for the info.
I'm not getting great battery life yet and have had the phone for over 24 hours since I picked it up yesterday morning. Can't pinpoint wjat could be draining it.
What do you guys think?

My guess wouod be your cell signal. Lot of yellow in there. Weaker signal means more battery drain

The battery life on this is simply amazing. I am still shocked to see how good it is. I tried everything today to run it down. Barely even used WIFI today. Basically all 4G. Screen brightness was about 50% at least all day. Never below as well. Crazy awesome battery
My battery life is insane. Ive used my phone nonstop all day and its still going. I should easily get between 8-9 hours of onscreen time.

I recently bought a GSM galaxy nexus (NTT DoCoMo version) and I use it on T-Mobile's prepaid network. The original battery that it came with was terrible.. Literally only lasted 7 hours regardless of screen on time. So I bought a stock Samsung battery off eBay thinking maybe it was a bad battery. No help whatsoever. I've flashed different ROMs, radios, and different kernels. Can anyone help me figure out what's going on? I had a Sprint Galaxy Nexus and I could get up to a day on the battery with 2.5 hours of screen on time so I know the Galaxy Nexus can last a long time. What's the deal?

Could you post some info on battery drain statistics from battery settings tab or preferably gsam monitor over a full drain? I could probably help you out, just need some more info. Also try flashing fancy kernel if you haven't already. This is a newer kernel that gives the best battery life you'll find freshly flashed.
Before discharging toget battery stats I would try charging to 100% and using "battery calibration" by NeMa to clean your phone's batterystats file and then drain to zero with a screen flashlight or running gallery slideshow. This can always be a problem no matter how healthy your battery is.

This is what I have showing for my battery so far. I flashed the newest radio last night and that seems to have helped a little bit with the battery. I have tried the battery calibration and it didn't really seem to help much.

I have flashed a stock 4.2.2 ROM a week or so ago and I was still having this issue. I bought a new battery too and its still happening. Flashed the fancy kernel today and it seems to be helping a lot actually.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
The stock kernel performs way better then what you are experiencing. A custom kernel may help a bit, but it's not magic. I'd recommend using the app BetterBatteryStats in order to find out what's going on.
Do any of you think that me restoring apps would have anything to do with the battery drain? I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary in the GSAM battery stats but the battery drains way too quickly. 10% per hour even when I'm not using it..

Glad to hear that fancy kernel is helping. It's probably the closest thing to magic you'll find. I agree that 1 hour of screen time and under 12 hours is under par, but I was having these same issues 2 months ago and could not believe how crappy battery life was. It really got better though trying a bunch of different radios to find the right ones, using minimal gapps/resource hogging apps as possible, finding the right build.prop tweaks to use, and most helpful flashing some good reliable kernels like fancy and AK/anarkia that have incredibly useful customizations that stock just doesn't have, I.e., contrast and color settings, battery friendly governors and frequency profiles, optimized smart-reflex, and custom regulator voltages for display.
Well, didn't feel like it lasted too long. Fell asleep with my battery at 33%, woke up 3 hours later and it's dead. I'm ready to throw this phone out the window.

I see you got the app. Good. Now a few minutes isn't enough time to gather reliable stats. Review the results after a full drain cycle of the battery. Check partial wakelocks and alarms for suspicious activity.

Here's what was listed on BBS after a full drain. Do you see anything unusual? I turned my data on and kept it on 2G to prevent the no or unknown signal from eating more battery but that was the only change. Battery life still looks terrible.

No need for the snake oil app, as simply unplugging the phone after a full charge wipes battery stats. Wiping battery stats and draining to zero aren't going to have any bearing whatsoever on this issue and would needlessly shorten the battery's serviceable lifespan.

The GNex is notorious for how quickly the battery drains while the screen is on. There's nothing you can do, realistically, on stock, to fix this...custom ROM users usually have some tricks to increase battery life.

There might be an issue with surface flinger, I've never seen it under battery stats. Radio signal is crap here, what I can't seem to figure out is why don't you use airplane mode ever since your contract was terminated.

For battery life you could even try a mild underclock. This is will may or not help, depending on what kind of apps (and processor usage) you run on the background.
It's definitely the signal because I experience it first hand when I go back and forth to visit my parent's house. They have atrocious signal reception (One bar for 3G) and battery drains around 3% a minute. It's a lot different when I'm at my place with full 4G signal because I can get 4+ hours on screen time.
It's unfortunate one of Google's flagship phones was designed poorly in signal/battery efficiency. Oh well, what can you do.

Sorry..guess my point is that, to me, the OP might simply have a defunct battery. I do nothing special with my phone to increase battery life. No greenify, underclocking, etc..2 email accounts syncing along with weather and a few other apps. If he's using simply as a media device maybe a new battery is all it needs.

Any rom can be great because the rom itself really has not much bearing on battery life at all. What's going to impact battery life is kernel, user setup and how you use your device.

Yup. Same here. I had high hopes for it outlasting the Note 9. Still hoping it will settle.
But typically on my Note 9, one hour of screen time equalled 10% of battery usage. With the Note 10+ one hour of screen time uses about 15% of battery.
I hope it settles a bit and maybe upcoming updates will help.
I've lost 10% battery since I posted 50 mins ago. Though screen was on all of it pretty much.

Today has been my best day, so there's hope it's getting better. But I still think my Note 9 was a bit better.
I've been updating, installing and testing a lot of apps, so my phone runs about 10% down for each hour of on screen time, but there are few postings about disabling some programs that you don't use, that made difference in battery use. For example I don't even have facebook account and facebook was hapily running 2 or 3 services in the background (collecting data maybe), until I disabled it. So debloating should be part of your phone setup, like it or not.
