[Q]Battery life S4 Goldeneye 49.2 [TW] - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi XDA users,
I've got this.. kind for like a problem I guess? I'm on 4.4.2 TW Custom Rom (Goldeneye 49.2?).
I never use 3G/LTE/Data, only wifi. The phone isn't even used all day long (~4 hours screen on time). And brightness is not high but low, because I want to save battery.

screenshots are irrelevant
check your wakelocks
and if you are gonna post them, could you make them a LOT smaller

There is nothing wrong with your phone. 4 hours screen on time is the maximum you will get out of your phone. It's perfectly normal.

Allright thanks. This disappoints me just a little, but I guess it'll do.
Btw nothing unusual with my wakelocks.
Any place I can get bigger battery's? But not those bulky ones that require another back cover..

this is a common issue. it isn't actually taking up that much battery, it is just reported as doing so. there's a flash able zip somewhere if you really care about it.

Pleaseeeeee search before posting.
The power profile.XML is reading the cell standby as 34mA instead of 3.4mA causing it to show crazy high usage. Its not draining battery. Its simply a reading error by the os. And a lazy dev forgot their period there.

Thank you for the info. Much respect for post back. I'm not rooted so can't flash anything to fix it.

Can you provide some more information? Like what kernel are you using? Rom? Apps? What is your screen time and such.
One thing I see is life 360 is on your stats. That could be one of reason or the main reason it's eating up your battery's power. And looks like Google services could be a culprit. Again, provide more information so we can help you.

Developer options - which ones make sense on G2

Is there a performance benefit of turning some of these features on?

Force GPU rendering will get you a little more speed but some apps will get screen tear and fc and u will get a higher bench score. The rest won't do to much and will just cause more battery drain and fc

Force GPU will do little in terms of real world performance on your phone. Changing the animation speeds to .5 will make the phone FEEL snappier, as it makes the windows pop in and out faster.
On a stock ROM there aren't many good uses. On custom firmware you can set reboot list options, ART, and a couple others, but really its not useful for the every day user.
K thx guys. I'll keep it off.

I've had weird battery stat experiences before - usually the opposite, where screen takes up everything and Android OS/system are nowhere to be found. Have you tried rebooting or charging back up to >90%?

I tried rebooting. But I'll try recharging now, maybe that helps
I don't know how, but I guess it fixed itself by itself. All is good now, thanks

Battery life between xt1032 & xt1038

Hello everyone, so I had some problems with my Xt1032 and took it back to Argos...they offered to replace and I asked if I could change it for the 4G model since its the same price. They accepted. But the thing is my battery is better on my XT1039 than my 1032 was...which is odd.
I haven't even conditioned the battery yet and I'm getting 5-6 hours screen time with battery life lasting between a day and a day and a half.
My most recent battery life is shown below

So I don't know if anyone else has noticed this but it would be interesting to see..
Also I am using the XDA app which I find horrible. Sorry if this is posted in the incorrect place.
There is a thread dedicated to that already...

?Before you make a new thread, try using the search first.

I've posted on that I mean has anyone had any replacement devices and noticed a large difference.
Oh and the search feature on the mobile app is terrible. Gonna install Tapatalk later...
