Hello guys new s4 i9505 users here coming from htc devices...
I had a strange thing happen to me today I had big battery drain, when I checked the stock battery monitor, it was trying to tell me my gps was turned on even though it was actually turned off
I am stock with no root straight from vodafone build is xxuamde.
After I rebooted my phone the problem seamed to be fixed.
Is this a bug in jellybean?
Thanks

Hello all! I just wonder if you guys have the same problem that I do, after about 4 minutes of chilling in menus or doing something that wouldn't use CPU much causes heating at the top and top-back of the device and by that time battery just drains.
My device is i9500. I flashed Wanam's kernel (Adam V1) yesterday night to see if anything would change, but nothing has changed so far.
All of the gestures and stuff are off and the screen brightness is set to automatic.
I just wonder if you guys have the same issues.

I9500
I do have the same heating problem while using less cpu intensive tasks and battery is draining fast even if its in standby mode(i mean when still screen is off).
Same.
Huge battery drain issue and serious overheating on the i9500
I'm just sitting and waiting some updates, patches and fixes like everyone else. Missing my Note2 :crying:

try running betterbattery stats and see what is hogging your battery juice
hope it will show the cause of the fast draining
No issue here. I've been using the AT&T version of the S4 for the last few days. Playing games & web browsing for extended amounts of time. I haven't felt any heating on the device thus far.
iv got serious issues as well...
apps like nova launcher using so much??
apps usage greater than screen usage..

Well guys, I have charged it full and then after 15 minutes I have used BatteryCallibration app to wipe battery stats (It needs root), drain is not changed but the heat problem seems better. I will use it for 1 or 2 more cycles then post the situation.
And I will try to flash another modem.
Ext. SD is unplugged btw.

I was wondering if anyone else has the same problem as me, my s4 won't even last 3 hours if I leave my 3G on even if my phones on standby my battery drains at like 1% a minute.
I am currently running Echoe Rom v12 with ML6 baseband etc
I have Philz touch recovery.

See what is using the battery from settings and fix it.
Get greenify from play store.
Disable google's location reporting.
It consumes about 10% battery per hour.

Or you could have a faulty battery. They did do a bad batch which experienced terrible battery drain. No link sorry but if you Google galaxy s4 battery fault you should find an answer.
Stock G2, AT&T. Running KitKat latest update.
Since KK arrived, I've had major battery drain by bluetooth. I leave bluetooth off, but it is always the highest power user in standby. Anyone else have this, or know how to fix it?

the way I see Bluetooth is now like wifi even when it's off it's on but since it's in a low energy state it really shouldn't be draining your battery I've easily gotten 15+ hours while actually using the Bluetooth to play games with my moga controller and using my deck
I have the same issue.. im stock t-mobile on kit kat... and im currently getting the same amount of battery i was getting on my lg nexus 5.. which kind of sucked.. I dont think theres a fix yet
My battery life is horrible and Idk what to do

Bump. Still happening after the latest update.

Maybe Phone Carrier
I think it's maybe related to your carrier too. They change something in the ROM to make compatible with network then release to your phone. For International and Korean Version is ok. But can you try to reset, if the problem still exist?
I have sprint and have been dealing with same issue since kk update. I don't even use bluetooth, always off, but yet saying keep awake 5hrs on a battery cycle.
I only experience it when I have wifi on at the same time, its weird.
From my experience on my phone, it's just a wrong reporting. Even with BT allegedly draining according to the battery stats, my battery life is still the same as before.

I've noticed that since the kit Kat update, my i9505 is having a huge battery draining caused by Instagram app. Even when the phone is on stand by, the battery stats shows that the App is draining almost 50% of battery. More than screen or Android Os together. Anyone knows how to fix this?
Thanks

Greenify the application. You may also try to go to application manager clear cache and data for this application. Restart the application. Simple rebooting may also help.

Hi,
A couple of days ago I updated my S5 to G900FXXU1ANE2 with Kies 3 from my PC.
I've noticed worse battery life, but I guess its too early to judge so I'll give it a week or so and a few more cycles.
However, I have noticed that during ALL games the battery gets ridiculously hot. I've never had this on any previous firmware updates. If its related to the flash/firmware then I am tempted to go back as it never used to get hot and battery life was a couple of days.
I know there will be some stock answers advising me to do a factory reset, but I'd really rather not.
Cheers,
GG
Same here..my screen gets very hot since update

I had strange battery life, too.
"Multimedia" drained my battery and phone became hot!
It seems that there is a scan of every media on SD after update..
Today I have another problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2737673
EDIT: Multimedia started again draining my battery.. I can't believe it..!!!
Noticed my battery life isn't as good after the update either. Not noticed any difference heat wise though.

Kill the bluetooth test process, it causes a damned large amount of wakelocks.... that helped a lot for me.
Also NFC despite being turned off, it was causing some wakelocks for me.

Whats the bluetooth test process? I can only see 'bluetooth share' running and it only let's me stop the process not disable.

Change to the All tab in the Application Manager and scroll, it should be below bluetooth share and it will have Force Stop enabled.
Got it. The only thing is that it will restart after every reboot because you can't disable it. I switch my phone off at night. Will force stop and see if it improves my battery life though.

Heres to hoping that Samsung release another update to resolve this.
Its a shame coz on the previous firmware the battery life was awesome.
