Bad battery with tw roms - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, im getting some bad battery life's with any tw ROM. I get an average of 10hours with 2.5hours screen on. I've tried a lot of tweaks etc. Like disabling location services and down clocked CPU etc. I've disabled smart screen and all of those features. But when running stock android I can easily get 2days.
Someone know how to fix this.?

Well maybe that's why

Use BetterBatteryStats to see what's using your battery or maybe wakelocks, also use Greenify to hibernate apps you don't use

Greenify helps for a bit but it still bad

App looks like it would be awesome but without root I'm not able to control CPU so its not worth it for me. I use widgets to control everything that the program does and then I don't need to have it running in the backround

Glad that works for you. Me personally, I'd rather let an app do it. Then it can still let things in every so often without me doing anything. And the battery use is minimal in the background.
JuiceDefender works... it's a good application. The more time you spend setting it up correctly, the better it works. And having UltimateJuice is a must.
I don't believe in Taskillers as they are just taking up CPU cycles killing off applications that aren't even doing anything (read up on how Android works to understand this fully, mainly how it kills of application and how they can be open and dormant).
gonna give this a shot, thanks
What is the proper way to set up, or some decent configurations for Juice Defender? I've tried it but I really do not understand it at all.

If you set it up as I do in the video, I've found that its a very good balance.

Agreed on both accounts. You gotta go for UltimateJuice and I can't emphasize more that task killers really don't help. You're completely right on your points. The apps aren't doing anything. Android doesn't handle background apps poorly like a PC.

In the video I state the benefits of UltimateJuice. Also, with JuiceDefender you'll be able to underclock as you do with setcpu. Saves you a running app as well

Oh, it's just a big advertisement for JuiceDefender. I thought it was providing some acutal tweaks and settings to change and some data to back it up.

is there app for battery?

hey all,
is there anywhere an app that shows how many battery each app takes? (by precentage) even if it is system app or anything
i have a problem my phone stuck on wake up and draind battery
please help
Yeah there is: menu-settings-about phone-battery use
From there you can see how much battery each app takes. Use best after a few hours of battery usage. For more info click each app.

Better battery life????

Anybody have tips on how to save some battery on this device? Here are my battery stats. Any suggestions welcomed pleasseeee.
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
I wasn't very impressed with the Note 3's battery life at first, then I went into Settings>Application Manager and disabled a whole bunch of bloatware. Also went into each app and turned off any background update and location service if we don't need it. You can do this without root. Just take a look on this board and you'll see someone has compiled a list of apps that you can disable.
The phone now runs cooler, and yesterday, we had 14h usage and 6.5 hours display on time (auto brightness). Very impressive in my book.

Turn off all the Samsung features when you're not using them like Smart Stay and Air Gesture. The sensors are always on in certain apps when you have them enabled. Turning them on and off is easily accessible via the notification toggles. But it will only slightly help, your phone should be performing better than that even with those features running. Try a factory reset if it is safe to do with the root method.

yup. was recommended that app on the s4, great app
Download the app Wakelock Detector from the Play Store.
Open it for the first time right after you unplug your phone
After some deep sleep occurs for awhile, open Wakelock Detector and select the icon in the top right to select "Wakeup Triggers"
This will show you which app waked the device when it was trying to sleep(=screen off) and how many times it waked it. Figuring out Google wakelocks will probably help you the most unless you have some poorly written or rogue app
A good start would be to remove ALL google apps that you don't use, and turn off google ads as well as notifications and scheduled checks within say...Play Store and Youtube and Gmail

I essentially hibernate everything except system apps and widgets, just to be safe. You would also not hibernate apps that you want background notifications from. I also use the donate version, which allows me take advantage of GCM. Which, for apps that use GCM, allows me to hibernate those apps and still receive notifications.
Hope that helps =]
My favorite app is the Snapdragon BatteryGuru. I love it! That will monitor usage and show you which programs are battery hogs and will learn your behaviors with your phone. Only works with the Snapdragon Processor phones as well.

Now that I have root access, what can I do to make this phone faster?

As we all know on paper this phone is a beast but in real life not so much. Now that I had this phone for a week I can definitely say that my Galaxy S3 running AOKP 4.3 ROM was faster than this phone (no joke).
I mean the only thing that really bothers me a lot with this phone (and I don’t know if its touchwiz related) is lock screen lag. Sometimes when I’m locking or unlocking the phone it takes a good second or two to “wake up” or “go to sleep”
Do any of you guys notice the same problem? If so is the any way to fix this now that we have root access?
I’m also looking for any other tips and tricks to make this phone a little faster
Thanks in advance

Zero animations will help a little but it won't work miracles. You are used to an aosp-style rom, and Touchwiz simply is not that. Once we get Safestrap, devs will get debloated TW roms for this beast. Until then, you just have to deal with TW lag & bloat

Try to freeze/remove the "S Voice" application that maps itself to ---> double tap Home key.
By removing it, it removes the double tap mapping which greatly helped with home button wake lag on my Note 2
Next most common thing to help you is to use an app such as Android Tuner to edit the stock kernel CPU clocks. In deep sleep(=screen off), you can raise the mhz of the CPU so it takes less time to wake up. Not sure if you can do this on stock kernel/locked bootloader just yet and this will eat more battery in general if your phone is in deep sleep often
