5 days yeah, im assuming you mean 5 days on standby meaning you barely if ever used it in that time because it is practically impossible otherwise to get that amount of battery for 5 days.
One man post on some forum. 7 days

with an intelligent use of the power-off button your battery may last some weeks...

Bang on man! think my worst case I have burned through a whole battery in a 4-5hours (chroot vnc gps etc) you know what though, it's not an iphone carry a spare!!! have a charger, have a battery pack charger, have a car charger!
the slightly more worrying factor for me is the power draw of some apps being greater than the draw on car charge.
I-on road for example probably the only truely useful AR app but V. battery intensive (gps and camera on full time go figure)
Lol - it doesnt matter how many days you got, i bet it was still only 3-4hrs screen on time like everyone else.

Hello
My friend have a Nexus S (9020A) the problem is when the battery dies it's impossible to charge the phone, it won't turn on! I have tried with a lot of batteries now and it kills all of them! it works like normal when you don't let the battery die completely but it should not do this anyway, what is wrong?
I think I know what your talking about.
The phone consumes more power than it receives when its using data. Do if your at 5% and charging, but also using the internet. You will last for mere minutes.
Best thing to do is to simply let it charge and not touch it when its doing so. You can still hotspot,text talk. But streaming music, data apps (like tapatalk or skype) and web browser WILL KILL YOUR BATTERY WHILE YOU CHARGE.
But if your saying it won't charge. Sorry. No idea

What? That's just nonsense.
If you turn the phone off and then try to charge it with the battery in, you're not able to charge it?

no, the phone kills the batteries, I would have test the batteries on other phone if I had, but atm I just have the Nexus S, it won't let me charge the batteries when they are dead.. if there is 1% left I can charge but when it dies it's dead forever... there must be something wrong with the phone, right?
Try wiping battery stats?

don't work.. when battery have some % left the phone works like normal... but if I let it die, then it's dead.. I can't even turn on the phone, it's like there is no battery inserted.
The phone should shut down automatically when the voltage reaches a certain threshold. Is the phone not doing this? These batteries are not meant to drop below a certain voltage and doing so could damage them.

Are you running a modded rom/kernel/calibration tool that let your battery go below the min voltage threshold?

This is so insanely inaccurate. Using the hotspot is one of the most battery intensive operations the phone can carry out. Streaming music, Skype, and browsing don't even hold a candle to it. The only thing that comes close would be navigation (and that can be even worse sometimes), followed by talking on the phone by a pretty decent, but not massive margin. It also depends on the charger. Where do you get your information?
Sent from my PG41200 using Tapatalk
if the phone is doing the same with all type of ROMS, then it may be hardware related issue.
I have been running various Roms since the start but never faced this issue. A lot of times battery has drained fully. With some of the new roms that are there my phone lasts more than a day with Data on Roaming full time.
I know most phone batteries will not be chargeable if you deplete them completely. Usually this happens by throwin it in the drawer and not using it for a long time but ive never heard of it happening just by using the phone. Id say its definitely a hardware issue

A minute of silence for your beloved S3...
Well, in case you really have a faulty one which is only 3 month old, you have warranty and it will be replaced. Products who are sold by millions are always some defective, electronics.... I had the same with my Sony cyber shot camera.... a few years back. Just go back to the store and get a new one.

Its not software design its optimization, flash an AOSP ROM and you will see the differences in performance.

I'm not sure about this because he said its the same with the charger plugged in, and it will run with the charger plugged in but no battery.
If you don't have a spare battery to try use a multimeter put the probes across the positive and negative terminals of the battery if there's an output on the screen its fine.
That's if you have a multimeter

Doesn't work, it needs the battery as well.

take it back to the store you got it from, ask them to put a battery in it for you to check whether its faulty, they shouldnt have a problem with this. If its still dead then you dont need to worry about the fact you have probably flashed a cooked recovery / rom or rooted, it will be dead, they'll likely just swap it out. - albeit via samsung.

Tried and tested, AOSP is definitely faster on the GS3 and battery lasts longer than stock (depends on your usage) if your not a fan of AOSP and like the Touchwiz wait for the Jellybean update to come.. shouldnt take long now..
Ok i keep it straight..
Its my first Android device (The S4.)
Switching from my nokia c7 i've had this issue of alarm not going off when phone's off..
Actually i faced this problem that day when i had only 4% battery left (obviously it wasnt going to last that night)
So i turned off the phone and thought the ALARM would wake me up the next day..( as my nokia always did )
But to my surprise it didnt...
I did search for some solution on xda but no luck..
But then i saw the link of alarm working WITH PHONE OFF on the Rival HTC ONE..(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2406083)
So i was wondering whether the devs would be able to make some app..(Or refer me if theres any as i couldnt find one..)
Thanks for your precious time..
Regards.
Me
EDIT : So i was going though some more stuff on this matter and found something relevent..
Like there is a real time clock running on pc (that keeps time even when its off)..
Maybe HTC does use that to make its ONE power on ..
I think some files in the kernel can be edited for some progress on our s4 ( I am completely a noob and have no idea about kernels n all , i just read it somwhere)..
Maybe some real pro can help us out here, by studying htc one's files.. and try to make it work on some other 'SmartPhones'.
+1 to that plenty of time phone nearly dead and would love to do this if possible

The problem is that some 'smartphones" never really turn off.
My Blackberry Storm was one of those and my guess is that the previous phone you had didn't either.
If the phone is in deep sleep mode, then it can wake up.
If on the other hand, it's off, and I mean really off, there is nothing you can do.
The current crop of Android phones turn off; not go into a deep sleep.
Then how can HTC one do it..
I mean it may go to deep sleep..
But can't our s4 go to deep sleep..?

When your screen is off your phone is in deep sleep. At least should be i dont know how they did it but when you turn off android phone its off. No alarm. Maybe they have modified fly mode and altered frequencies for cpu gpu etc to be just enough to ring alarm with almost zero power consumption. But again its not off. I miss that too. Its like where to **** is my charger or hope my alarm rings
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
With screen off battery goes down by more than 8-10%
I don't think that's deep sleep.. (in deep sleep battery shouldn't drain more than 2-3%..)
Yup if HTC can do that y cant Samsung.. Or other devs..

Check your apps. I have 4% over night data off. Once i broke power button on lg p990 so few days i had to live with no deep sleep to be able to turn screen on with volume buttons and man, drain was over 15%/hour.

Dude only 4%,Thats great for you..
Do you use any battery app.. Or its by default..?
I've removed one phone lock app which did save me about 7% drain but still cant get it below 8%..for ( 8-9 hours of sleep )
But i'd still love this alarm feature..

Yes. Software-based. The question is that if a 3rd party app have access to the system to create an "auto on" or if is something that needs to be manage on the OS itself. Maybe with root access?
