Under spare parts my battery is using the most with networking. And the specifications say "0" and "Dialer". And they are using nearly 100%. I lose about one percent every 2 minutes when browsing the web
What can i do do get better battery?
Sent from my SGH-T959 with Nero 4.1!
check the bible sticky here in gen and in dev it explains how to recondition your battery and set the settings better
This might be off topic but I find it really hard, from spare parts app, to read and grasp what app has been using hoe much battery. As Someone who came from stock 2.1, im used to the samsung battery usage widget which tells u what app has used the most battery. In essence telling ubwho is the culprit. I don't see that in axura 2.2.5.7. Does anyone know of an app i can use to get that info.
Thanks

I'm looking to gain some battery life and the main thing I don't want to give up is smoothness and fluidity. I'm getting about 12-18 hours with maybe 2-2.5 screen on time. I know that's not just god awful, but I was thinking that this phone should be better considering its vanilla android.
Any suggestions on things maybe I could try. I dont use a big assortment of apps.

Try a custom kernel. There are a lot of great ones here. Don't ask which one is the best for battery life or performance because everyone will give you a subjective answer or bash at you. (Just kidding) Try them one at a time for a day or two and make your choice.
A great application I recommend would be "Greenify". You need root for the app. Check it out.

Turn off auto brightness and manually dim your screen as far as you can. Turn off things you're not using (Wifi, gps, bluetooth) until you need them. Don't let apps auto sync unless you really need real time updates from them.

Rasbean + Trinity
Battery life combination is to root -> install rasbean jelly by rascarlo, the install morfic's trinity kernel -> keep brightness always at 50% or less, and battery life will e around 15 hours that with 4 hour actual usage... But ofcourse as time progresses and you install thousands of apps that require your internet and push notification they will eat battery, for those apps life facebook and nonesense use greenify the app it trully helps
Ok I have tried multiple battery saving apps and I can't seem to figure out which is the best. I seem to not have very good results from JD, maybe I am setting it up wrong. I am currently trying Du Battery app. What are others experiences?
In my experience, I find it's best not to use any. They all use battery and RAM to save battery, if that makes sense.

not really sure what kind of battery you are expecting from the M, but it gets one of the best. unless you are a power user, you really do not need an app - otherwise, go with the maxx and one of those large extended battery cases.
but in terms of apps, I have found that Greenify works best, but requires root access.
A quick search would have garnered this result.. Which many people agree has done well for saving battery:

This app has given me a all day battery solution with lite to medium screen use and data consumption has lowered dramatically

I know I'm a heavy phone user, but how are people saying they get 9+ hours of constant use, like watching videos, and I'm getting half that from texting, using Hangouts, and a couple social networking apps? My screen uses between 45-50% of that and the rest is apps, primarily the ones I use most.

I unplugged from a charger about 330pm, it's now almost 8 with the following stats. This is driving me crazy, I feel like I can't unplug it. So today I get almost 6 hours to almost 10%

What launcher were you using? I unplugged at 7-8 am this morning and attached are my stats. Sometimes it drains more than others but overall the battery life is pretty amazing.

Well, for starters wifi is at 0% which means ur constantly using 4G which can suck ur battery dry especially if you're in an area with bad reception.

My wifi always shows it's connected as a solid blue line, but I've been on LTE all day.
Might be a rogue app running in the background or something? I use the Active Apps widget and randomly end programs from time to time while clearing up the RAM as well. Hopefully it's just a rogue app or bad battery?

You're definitely not getting what you should. Look at my stats, a lot of wifi but also not as much held awake time on my phone considering what I have as Battery time. Take a look around there's things you can disable like bloatware that may be holding your phone from sleeping. Also see if you can reconfigure that one app, maybe it updates to often. I don't usually have any app drain more then kernel and the android system.
Or its your battery if you've done all that.

I was having that same problem when first got my phone. I'm pretty sure it was the new themer application it, worked fine until I uninstalled it, then my battery constantly needed to be charged. To originally fix it I backed up and factory reset it then it seemed to be working fine but now that I'm rooted I have been using greenify and it works like a dream. It tells you in better detail what's draining your battery and what wakes it up in your background as it tries to sleep. Now I get about 22 hours with pretty regular usage
With 56 minutes on screen time, I should get close to ten hours... you must have an app that is killing your battery or that uses data alot

Here is how mine is looking today so far, I would say my Note 3 outlasts my other phones no problem.. biggest offenders I noticed that wrecked mine was Google Settings>Location Reporting turned that off, and when I dont need it turn everything off in Settings>Location Reporting.. when I go out or want to use Google Now I turn it on .. I greenified a lot of the stupid apps like My Magazine or disabled them outright

Three things, one are you rooted. Two if not, is the beginning of it while you are sleeping or using it? If using it, what other things have you tweaked If not rooted.
And third but completely unrelated, I see you have a sense clock, if you want a great one that is pretty much a perfect copy of sense, take a look at "sense v2 flip click and weather". I use that and love it

I can't speak for Neo but I'm rooted, but before then I still had amazing battery life because I disabled most if not all the bloatware.
I've disabled most of the bloat ware, I think. I'm it rooted. I'm just always plugging this thing in

I was wondering what people thought of these battery stats. I consider these average for my normal day. I've gotten much better and much worse. Just looking for comparisons. And wondering if anyone had any advice that relates specifically to this phone. Ive done almost everything out there. At least as much as you can do running stock. I have frozen many apps. Disabled almost all non essestial settings. Display is less than 25%. Use app ops. Wake lock detector. Better battery stats. Turned off location on almost everything. The only thing I think hurts me is I have auto sync on many apps, mostly for social media. Mainly I want to know if people who have gone through the ringer trying to squeeze very bit of battery life out of their phones are experiencing similar battery life. I see so many people claiming crazy stats I want to know how they do it.

This is an average day for me of heavy internet browsing and just using my phone really. I am running stock mk2, although i have removed many apps. But i had 15% battery left after that days use.

@ OP.
Those battery stats are average for a normal every day user on stock. Custom ROMS and Kernels if you want super battery tweaking.
So off topic bc I'm a super noob.. I was wondering if you root your phone do you lose the ability to get carrier software updates?

OP, your Android OS is waaaaaaay too high. (try settings/connections/location services/ uncheck "use wireless networks) for a major difference.
He didnt start the post. I did. He was responding to my original question. Thanks.

You can use wanam exposed to fake the system status as official instead of custom. But i prefer to use odin instead.
