Martins, 22 Aug 2013Pls how long does battery on this phone last for heavy user... moreMore than 7 hours of actual screen time for over a span of 16 to 17 hours, like I had experienced for the first month.

Here is one time I was using it during a 5 hour span, with a total of over 4.5 hours of screen time:

The Note II's battery stamina is only 2nd best to a Motorola Razr HD Maxx. And you can change the battery in less than a minute if you need to for those long travels.

Don't listen to those Xperia joker users who can't seem to back up their claims that they can get 5 hours of actual screen on time on a charge. Someone even complain the Z Ultra drains more than half the charge after an hour of Internet surfing.

    Pls how long does battery on this phone last for heavy users? Owners I know you love your phone and want to make it look like the best thing in the world and trolls I know you want to make the phone look crappy in all aspects. So I need an honest heavy user to pls tell me about the battery life.

      actually what i have is a swiss tech

      the cover will protect my screen
      when im not using my phone

      although there is a tendency that
      it wont stand...hahaha
      so i make sure that it does not

              iwan, 20 Aug 2013BE CAREFUL ! This is a phone that can die for no reason any... morei have read the sudden death syndrome in google
              it affects the note 2 having JB 4.1.1
              in most cases it wad noted that you check the chipset
              used on your note if it is insane or not by using an app

              i too have some lags once in awhile
              and have these restart i think twice since i bought
              the phone in december...wow that was a long time
              so better yet if you still have the warranty
              and you have those lags...freezing...restarting effects
              go to a samsung service center
              that way if the phone needs some parts replacements
              its gonna be replaced for free

                eloy.palaboy, 21 Aug 2013and ohh... where did you buy the replica casing? i want to... moreI got those cases from the thriving cellphone kiosk market everywhere in Metro Manila.

                  Don Hils, 21 Aug 2013Well, I wasn't on this page several months ago to know what... moreso true...
                  not because you have the CGG on the phone
                  that you can do the 10 storey drop test
                  or use your to deflect bullets
                  it is just scratch resistant
                  so it can only withstand a certain amount of pressure
                  or else you will break the phone

                  the casing used by our friend TheNeighbor
                  is one example how one person
                  takes good care of a nice high end phone like the note 2
                  so i guess CGG is not really an issue
                  if you take good care of you phone

I pamper it like an egg so I don't really care whether or not it's gorilla or monkey screen. you are not going to start practicing drop test and hammer drop test with your phone because it's gorilla glass cos one thing is going to happen if you do that, your screen will break.

                          I too don't put any sort of transparent screen protector. It only scratches the protective film from the S Pen's physical contact. It's a waste of money.

                          The glass surface is scratch free because I'm cartel. I keep my Note II with a $10 exterior protector case:

                          This is my $10 super heavy casing:
                          http://www.flickr.com/photos/92800985@N06/8604943092/
                          Better those than replacing a broken front panel glass at half the cost of the device.

                          These chemical strengthened tempered glass on our devices aren't meant to be abused or expected to be indestructible. They do provide some level of strength from small bumps and scratches, but not from direct heavy drops. You need a double layered case protector for that.
