I take the bus everyday for 45min going and coming from work.
I have 4g most of the time and about 7-10min I'm locked onto 2g/edge
Now question is how much would my battery drain from the ups and downs of signal?
And BTW I use Google music sometimes. And ALL the time I'm either here looking thru XDA or using the browser.
GPS And locations are off as well.
Thanks!

That question can't be answered, it all depends on too much.
45 minutes with screen on in a bad signal area and on 4g? 15% or so? Impossible to guess.
Yea it was to hard for me to figure out. Thought I might ask here. Well I just got off the bus and my phones at 65% after 1hr screen on.

Sorry for doubling the pics

You're in a bad signal area, 4g, music. That could be right actually..
Stock kernel? If so try something else. Trinity, Franco.
Try gsm auto prl instead of wcdma preferred.

I just flashed images yesterday hoping for better battery after using efrants guide.
I will try a different kernel each day
I'm coming from a gs3, trinity worked well. Will have to try that tomorrow on my ride home.
Also Just got this phone on Friday.
Still need a lot of testing to do.

@mixtapes08 - hahahaha wow, amazing .. did you turn of data or put it in airplane mode ? i dint do it and i got till here, please give details
Im guessing no time/ very little time browsing because its a heavy battery user and it would show up as a part of your batter drainers.
Yea, im sure I can put on a black background and leave my screen on and pull 6+hrs of "screen time". I'm going to play Devils advocate here and say this number wasn't achieved with typical phone usage, with data on etc.

Considering screen is then followed by no other applications that are actually using it, it's possible. Either way, that's actually pretty impressive.

Hi all,
I'm considering buying a new OEM battery for my 2.5 year old mt4g. I am rooted and running a custom rom, MyTouch UX 3.0 at the moment, but I usually use the CodeFireX AOSP Jelly Bean rom. Here is a screenshot of my current battery usage:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So around 6-7 hours with wifi turned off and the phone in my pocket at school. Its okay-ish for a 2 year old battery, but should I go on amazon and buy myself an OEM battery for $7? Also, does anybody know a kernel for CodeFire X that gives good battery life? Feedback please...

What's your SOT?
Should post a screen shot of that too considering it's taking 75% of your battery. So I'm thinking about 2 1/2 hours?

Not quite sure what you mean, but I can tell you that since I posted that (13 minutes) I now have 50% battery. I'm on airplane mode, so cell standby is off.

It SEEMS a little low, but I've seen worse. If you're looking for a new battery check out Anker.

battery is dead. i've got a new one!
OK guys, I got the battery from the above post. Just one last problem. Since the battery is extended, my meter says the battery is full when its really only around 90%. This can be fixed by charging while the phone is off. Since I am rooted, I tried to clear the battery stats in cwm, but the problems still there

Not sure why it defaulted to Yellowknife, CAN. as the closest server, but the numbers are pretty similar to speed tests using the AT&T server that's 5 miles from my house. Latency is a bit more though. 120ms for Yellowknife and 99ms for Anchorage, AK AT&T server.
From all around Bakersfield CA. Unfortunately only about 5-7 Mbps at home.

It's consistent because your using Wi-Fi. Turn off Wi-Fi and redo the test.

That's a condition of WiFi Calling for T-Mobile with WiFi as the "preferred" method of connectivity. No need for concern there.

Maybe WiFi calling is draining your battery life. Its still hard to see where you are at % wise. Where was the battery at with 1.4 hours of screen time?

That seems pretty good.. 2 hours of screen time down on 20%.. that means you would possibly get 10 hours of screen time before it dies...

Hi all,
Today morning i left my SGS4 at table and when i was getting up, i was holding this kind of battery http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/99/02_-_Single_Energizer_Battery.jpg and suddenly fell (for about 70 Centimetre high) at phone screen.
Screen hasn't got any scratch or something, works good, but i just wanted to ask if this can cause any problem in the future? It's my first time facing this kind of drop trip so i just wanted to ask and feel more comfortable.
I use this to http://img.game.co.uk/images/gameware/pspscreenprotectorandcloth.gif don't know if it helps in this situation haha.
Thanks.
Energizer AA batteries are a known menace to the Galaxy S4 screen.
Breakage could occur at any time, it could be months it could be hours. Once the AA battery has had it's way there's no going back.
The only known cure is the saliva of an epileptic koala, this must be applied twice daily to the effected area.
Good luck mate!
