At long last, I finally got my 2 orders of 6800mAh batteries, and have been putting them into their paces. After 2 charging cycles, WITHOUT power saving mode, although I did only get more than 13 hours on a single charge, I managed to get 8 hours and 23 minute of screen on usage with mostly browsing and YouTube, and 3 hours TuneIn Radio Pro listening and recording. Mostly on WiFi, with last 20% on LTE. This was at home. Anyone can see my stats:

Before that, with the same extended battery, I could get some 17H, with 4H42M of screen on usage, 5 hours on hotspot, and downloaded some 1.5 GB of torrents on the go. All on LTE without saving mode:

My point is, with my heavy usage, the removable battery system gives this flexibility. That's why I see the Note.5 being utterly pointless when I heard it came with a sealed battery. I will not have to carry charger/powerbank/spare battery. I calculated that with "normal" usage without downloading torrents, I can get some 25 hours with probably even 6-7 hours of screen on usage. The usage time per charge seems legit enough, but it'll take another 5 cycles till each batteries are calibrated correctly, and likely even more efficient.
Sure, there is a hump at the rear, but it gives me all day battery with LTE and notifications on till I get home. I normally get some 3h+ screen on usage, with 1 GB torrent download over a stretch of 12H+ on the regular battery, with some 10% left. I have to swap the battery to a new one late afternoon.

r1, 30 Jan 2016Is every thing ok after reset ?was in sam live chat the day. waiting for an hour as must be loads of ppl asking question. i told them about the problems on my model and on n9000 model i knew what the answer was gona be. factory reset. about updates they said they have heard no news about our models, but thats not to say we wont get it according to them. they said just to keep checking with them every month as things can change. so if neo gets it we should get it. so heres hoping r1.
