battery life and extended batteries note 1

Is there anything I can do to extend the charge my battery holds ? It seems like I have to leave my phone on charge more than its off. I only use on or two apps at a time and the battery saver is on. I just got a new battery and nothing is different. I was looking at extended batterys on ebay but I'm weary on their quality though. Anybody have any suggestions or input? Thanks

Just figured out how to do screenshot

I don't know if this is usefull too

also I have my Screen Turned all the way down

What is the screen timeout set to?

Its set to 30 seconds. And on top of that I shut the screen off with the button as soon as I'm done using it. I'm really lost here and frustrated with having to charge so much. Thanks for helping me so far I really appreciate it.

I think if you really do not like staying near the sockets too often, go for powerbanks. They are readily available in the market right now. The feeling of having it plugged is the same but at least, you can travel around the house while using it.

You might want to try a battery saver app like,

Also check to make sure nothing is 'wake locking':
