I have a problem with my galaxy s4 battery life. When im using mobile data or wifi my battery life decrease by 1% every 2-3 mins.
I also did *#0228# and accidentally pressed quick start and my battery life decreased from 50% to 19%
Power saving mode is on, location services is off, brightness is at lowest, nfc, gps, bt, and wifi are off. Auto sync and smart features are also off.
Any battery saving tips? Or should i bring my unit at the service center? TIA

I am experiencing extremely bad battery drain while my hd2 is off. I have a brand new factory battery, and am running a gingerbread edition of Nandroid. Cell standby seams to be the culprit. My drains about 15 percent an hour when left in normal mode, a. k. a. not air plain or data disabled mode. When I enable air plain mode, the standby usage decreases to 2%. I live in an area that t-mobile rates as excellent and is partially covered by their 4g network. what can I do beside leaving my phone in air plain mode (defeating the point of a phone, because you won't know when people call or text you) to actually get usable battery life?
The attached picture is after a standard day where the phone was asleep for the majority of the time.
Your rom ?
you can try adjust the brightness,switch to 2g,disable data in background.
Try downloading battery monitor widget to find your mah drain. Mine battery usage is usually 60% display

I'm quite staggered to state that my S3 haven't used a single % of battery overnight, I left my phone at 66% and in morning my jaw just dropped by looking at battery meter it was at 66% i thought it was stuck or hanged so i restarted my phone pulled the battery out and waited for 5 mins and turned it on again and voila it was at 65%(1% lost due to booting)
also my S3 is Made In Vietnam
Isn't this a good thing? Phones don't really use a lot of power when on idle like this. As long as u have a good signal and the radios not trying to pick a signal the battery doesn't drain much. I've left my g2 overnight several times and it hasn't gone down either

Yes its a good thing however my last droid eats 15-20 % battery in night which is bad.
Auto-sync on? 3G/wifi/airplane mode? Wouldn't mind having tiny idle drain myself
Phone is set on 2G network(not on Airplane mode) with wifi and auto sync OFF
I also noticed my SGS3 drains very little at night. However, when idling at daytime it does drain more battery (using System Panel to monitor battery levels).
Perhaps there is some power saving feature that put the phone in a deeper sleep-mode at night? Automatically disabling auto-sync etc?
Closed, we have a thread right here for initial reviews/discussion.
Thank you.
Hey guys..
I am on Rooted MG5 with Persues Alpha 9. I have been facing this issue since ever I flashed MG1 and then MG5... Battery consumption on ideal mode is ridiculous..
When I go to sleep (12AM), I keep my phone's Wifi On... When I wake up (7.30AM) almost 20% of juice is consumed.. Even when Power Saving Mode is enabled.
Couple of days back, I tried turning off Wifi and Mobile Data connection.. Even then around 10-15% of battery was consumed. I don't really understand why does it take that much battery..
Yesterday I tried different experiment. I put my phone on Airplane mode, disabled Wifi, Enabled Power Saving mode.. Battery consumption was like 4-5%.. I still feel for phone in ideal mode this is too much..
Anyone else is having the same issue? or is it just me? shall I try flashing another firmware? I am not at all happy with battery life
Use BetterBatteryStats to see what's using your battery or maybe wakelocks
I will try using BetterBatteryStats.. Hope It will show the culprit service.
Hello XDA members! I have recently bought a used Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337M Telus/Koodo a few days ago on a website similar to Craigslist but better (Kijiji). I got it unlocked and updated it Android 4.3 not rooted.
Anyways, my phone battery is really bad. Yesterday night, the battery was at 47% when I went to sleep. No apps were running except my SMS app and WakeLock Detector. The wifi was turned off, the Power Saving Mode was on and the brightness was set to its lowest. This morrning when I woke up, the phone was at 19%, so it lost 28% in about 8.5 hours while in standby mode. I tried the app Deep Sleep Battery Saver but it doesn't seem to work very well. When I check WakeLock Detector stats, the Deep Sleep time is always at 0.0 seconds; therefore, my phone has NEVER entered in Deep Sleep mode Help please?
Somoeone help pleaseeeee?
Did you read the app description? If you turn off WiFI and enable Power Saving mode, it block WIFI and Mobile DATA then the app cannot put your device in deepsleep.
Description:
During deep sleep mode, Wifi, 3G are turned off, background apps are stopped. Therefore, most apps are not working, including Facebook, Google Service, etc,. It then constantly wakes up in order to download email, sync Facebook status, etc,.
I can't really help you for the batt drain unless you could root your device to get more information from CPU: twist Process setting or buy another app on the playstore to monitor your battery drain like BetterBatteryStats.
My battery life was amazing when i bought the phone lasted like 2 days
Recently I got an update of less than 150mb after that my battery life is now horrible in normal mode it lasts 9 hours the screenshot i attached show my phones battery usage on POWER SAVING mode (50% used on power saving mode in 9hrs at NIGHT when i don't use the phone)
and rite now i'm charging the phone again dont know whats wrong with it.
(It doesn't overheat or anything just loses battery.)
Will appreciate if someone can help troubleshoot this issue.

First of allI would say that your active GPS is a high battery drain so I would turn it of and see again if the battery drain is still that high.
Thnx turned off GPS and restarted phone now it's fine 85% from 100% in five hours with moderate use.
So is my GPS app is faulty?
I use maps a lot so how do I keep my GPS on but without this issue, my GPS was on from purchasing time but nothing like this happened.
Hoping for a permanent fix.
Once again appreciate the prompt help.

it's hard to answer your question without any other details. do you use any widgets? any apps that might cause waking of the device? use apps that could show the wakelocks during deep sleep
I use the s health, the clock and calender and the track id however I went back to the store even after reset the issue was there They said I can change the fone but didn't have the black color ( white to me looks tacky) so I got the m8 instead. Thnx for the help.

change location service mode to power saving when not using maps, change to gps only when you need. Turn off bluetooth and wifi tethering. Switch to HSPA when you're using map because you don't need lte speed.
