It was suggested somewhere in the general forum not too long ago that the newer Linux kernels are less battery efficient, at least with respect to the Evo, and I tend to agree.
With constant use I was able to only use 10% connected to Wifi but now it's nearly 20% use, again in a constant setting on Wifi.
You can try running an app like "watch dog lite" and seeing if an app is causing an issue.
You can do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712990 which really works.

Hello folks,
These kinds of threads can be found for other phones but I think we haven't such thing here for our beloved GN.
So please take a screenshot of your battery status from android setting and uplaod it here. Especially from the screen on time.
In addation please mention your ROM and kernel and their versions so we can have an accurate comparison and nice statistic pool.
Cheers,

Guys these stats do not mean much. I really like the idea of the thread and would like to see what stats other people are getting with their battery life. But all I can see are stats posted when the phone is hardly in use.
On screen time is all in bits and pieces. Can someone post a picture of their stats with their AWAKE and ON SCREEN tabs at full blue - meaning it was being used constantly. Those stats would mean alot more than these. Cause anyone can not use the phone at all and post their stats up having easily more than 1 & 1/2 day of battery.
I for one do not have screen shots but I do recall not getting more than 4-5 hours of on screen time.
I know this isn't long, but this is heavy usage screen on 75%of the time, I think it's awesome battery status for this.
And I still have 54% battery.

It will also be a good idea for people to post how old their battery is... My old battery can barely give 2 hours screen on time while the new battery gives more than 5 hours screen on

I know how you feel man. You are not alone :crying:
How about charge time? I'm on Alliance Alpha 3 (based off XXLSA) with Robbie's and Ficeto's TWRP kernel. I was at 10% and plugged it into AC 6 hours ago. I'm at 98%! Fuuuudge
EDIT: It was my cable. Disregard.

You should read the M-kernel thread and find out from other users. They probably posted screen shots of their values. Normally, for many devices you can under volt up to -100mV or even more. Read the thread for more info.

Hello all,
I recently flashed Ktoonz kernels and used the Ktweaker to set it to Performance. When I ran a Quadrant test after rebooting I was more than surprised. The numbers were much lower than a stock kernel. Any one know if I possibly did something wrong? This is the Quadrant score I have and also a shot of the Ktweaker. Thanks.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Do not ever go by quadrant, if the phone feels smoother and faster then it is smoother and faster.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
Okay. So what exactly is it that Quadrant is used for then? I always thought it was used to test the speed of the device?

Its a bragging rights thing really, any developer will tell you its completely pointless. Real life usage is what matters. For instance when forcerom came out it had problems with getting 6000 quadrants but was running smooth.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
Okay, thanks a lot! Yeah it definitely does feel faster and smoother. Just hoping that with the performance kernel I still get some good battery life.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
Yeah if the phone is.fast for you. You shouldn't be concerned about scores.

I just picked up my s4 the other day. I traded my iPhone 5 for it. So far the battery life has been atrocious. I'm running on the stock rom with root and regionlockaway so I can have my phone unlocked for tmobile. I'm running the mf3 update. Here's a screenshot of my battery usage. My brightness is generally all the way down or on auto.

If you can try out "wakelock detector" it can tell you why your phone isn't going to sleep. Perhaps you gave a rogue app?
Edit: betterbatterystats might be able to help too. It's fee for xda members I believe.
Also, you mentioned that your phone is new? Give it a couple more charge/discharge cycles to even out.

My phone wasn't brand new. Just a few weeks old. I traded it to someone on Craigslist for my iPhone 5. And I'll try those apps and report back. Thanks!

when i first got the phone, i ran stock TW but rooted with few xposed tweaks for a few weeks, battery life was... meh.. unplug at 7am and NEEDED to plug back in by 8 or 9PM.
when i went to a custom kernel, battery life improved greatly with stock speeds, and undervolting all steps.

Not terribly familiar with safestrap and the s4. (Had a tmobile s4 which doesn't require it). I'm extremely familiar with android however. What's the process to install safestrap? My phone is already rooted. Also what's the kernel with the best battery life.

Not sure about safestrap since I have an I337M.
The best answer I can give you about a kernel is to try them all. The best kernel is almost always subjective.
Got safestrap installed. I'm somewhat familiar with it as I used it on my Droid RAZR. How do I install a kernel on my s4 with it?

You can't install a custom kernel because you're on MF3 no exploit has been found to be able to bypass the bootloader or unlock it.
