Hello
My i9500 galaxy is rooted abd with Wanamlite rom
Im coming from iphone world, thought battery life going to be better with gs4 more than my old iphone4.
As you can see battery life is really bad, only maximum 3 hours of screen time..
i thought rooting and using wanamlite rom will improve it but thats not what happend
Can you please help me ànd tell me how ppl get more than 5-6 hours on screen time
Thanks alot
You from Israel, right? Me too, so don't worry, I think I can help you :fingers-crossed:
It seems like you have many wakelocks, which can be prevented very easily:
1. Did you disabled preinstall apps you didn't need? It can be done via Settings->More->Application Manager->ALL. Then, look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260766 for apps you don't need for the phone to function.
2. Pull down the full notification area toggles and disable the Sync, NFC and S Beam and enable them only when you want to use them.
3. Install GSAM Battery and after full discharge show here the Screen brightness statistics + use auto brightness. Maybe your screen is bright always which consumes much more battery (about 3 times more than Dark/Dim brightness).
4. Install BetterBatteryStats and post screenshots from there also after full discharge.
Hope it'll help
P.S. You can PM me in Hebrew if you like

lol then whats the use of getting new S4? why didnt u get galaxy core or any other mid range mobile? these smartphones are supposed to be used with all the bells and whistles... i get about 5-6hours of battery life with my Exynos version and i keep almost everything on except for the motion scroll. the eye tracking tech in S4 is sick and fun
well to OP, i would recommend u to get the Stock firmware installed or go for Omega roms. Omega roms are awesome cause u have the choice to install anything urself!
i have not used Omega on my S4 cause i just got my S4 few days back and i want to use it stock
my recommendation to u is either go for stock rom, or go for Omega
Actually, I don't need all that stuff from Samsung.

Maybe this is an Exynos Octa Issue. I have the AT&T Qualcomm version i9505 Snapdragon 600 with LTE. I get about 10 hours of battery life with 4-5 hours of screen on time a day. Running Wicked V2 Rom debloated.
Actually, I get 7 hours with one day usage.

He meant the rom was immature... Meaning incomplete and not ready for full use... Considering it is a leaked rom and not meant for public use, you will experience such problems...
I'd wait until root becomes available and im sure there'll be some tweaks to improve the battery...

Post your screenshots of your battery logs, and see if we can figure it out. I'm in the same situation and complained just in another thread because I see some people with 28+ hours of usage when I got 14 hours of usage max from mine.

Your battery stats are normal. 16 hours which includes almost 7 hours screen time is nothing to scoff at.
If you want pull a bit more disable eye-tracking features and uninstall Facebook (which is notoriously known as a major battery hog, not sure if they improved the battery drain, but you can Google facebook+app+battery and read the slew of complains about the app), that is of course if you're willing to take such measures just for extra battery life.

Your stats look good (albeit not as good as some of the other threads). 7 hours of screen time is pretty great though and I haven't been able to get that and I don't even use Facebook

Check out my stats. As you can see, it's HORRIBLE compared to what you guys are getting. I've also attached my BBS logs. Help guys, what's wrong? I have a 64gb SD card that I am using, but I have already formatted it using this phone, and then loaded about 10gb worth of videos on it. Could that be the cause of the problem?

You have some serious wakelocks. By the looks of it, I'm almost 100% they are network related wakelocks...
Things you could try:
Go to settings > more settings > Network operators. Change the operator to something else a couple of times (you shouldn't be able to) and then choose automatic it will choose the correct operator again.
You can try switching to GSM only for a while ( Settings > More settings > Mobile networks > Network mode). See if the drain stops while being on GSM only.
If you are rooted, search for "fast dormancy toggle" by gokhanmoral from you Google play store and turn off fast dormancy. There are some situations where if FD is enabled and your carrier does not support it, you will keep getting wakelocks.
Power off the phone. Remove the sim card, power on the phone without the sim for five minutes. Clean the chip on the sim with a dry cloth. Power off the phone, insert the sim and power it on again.

I've also have a same issues of that terrific battery it's only standby 19h15m16s with the screen time only 3h1m53s. Eben before i used note 2 battery is do better than this. Please help me..
Battery Question
BUMP..
I get about 4 hrs of screen time on a full charge. My usage is browsing and whatsapp mostly. Plus around 35-45 mins of some games. Ill say heavy ones (nfsmw, dark knight etc). my network is usually around the 70-80% mark and almost never full..
Whatsapp is the most used app of course. I spend 2-2.5 hrs doing that i suppose on this.
I dont use wifi and depend on a weak 3g signal for all this.
Is this performance normal??
I get poor battery life because my Note 3 Keep turning on in my pocket that is what I hate the most from switching my Nexus 4

I ve been using it for couple of hours, I can say it s excellent firmware. Finally we ve received a pretty good update, it s smooth and fast. I ve already uninstalled some bloatware apk ( about 70 :laugh: ) , at last I can say I am very satisfied with 4.2.2

That firmware was a major disappointment, very laggy.
G' day mate, it is definitely much better and smoother. You should try it.
I've tried it this afternoon and I concur, it's much better than the old Aussie 4.2.2
With 4.2 Australian ROM i had battery drain (7 hours battery life vs 11 with 4.1), with UK is the same ?

could it be because of that 4.3 feature that keeps Wifi running all the time even when its off
you could try deactivating that

Same here. Battery drains way to fast now. Even did full wipe and restore and still happening.
Disable Wifi Scanning...
See what program it is causing your battery drain.
A week ago an update program: "Total Recall" made my GS4 battery drain fast and the phone was all day very warm. I uninstalled it and all get back to the normality. I talked with the developer of the program, he solved the problem and all works perfect.
I have now the 4.3 original update in my GS4 and battery works better than in the older 4.2.2. It works all the day without any charge.

Hi everyone! Ya!
I flashed CM 11 kitkat on my G2 but i decided to return to stock because the battery drain faster than stock ROM, someone know why?
I tried to use the phone with the same settings.
So, I didn't play games, the phone was all the time in wifi, no data connection, took some photos, surfing on internet, the screen brightness was around at 0 - 30 %.
I think thats all.
PS: The language in the screenshot is italian couse I'm italian.

It is normal for CM Roms to use more power. It has always been like that. Not optimized I guess..

Ok, I think is called GRAM, no ZRAM, but anyway. I thought Vanilla android doesn't required a lot of power to work, and now with 4.4 it's optimized for devices with i guess 512 MB ram.
And probably GRAM doesn't work yet on CM. But I dont know
