Snap Dragon is the name of a cpu company and it works as a battery saver which have that cpu. The I9500 has exynos processor and I9505 has snap Dragon. If u wanna use a battery saving app try juice defender. It's awesome for me and better than most battery savour.

Most of these apps just manage wifi/mobile data and claim to improve battery life, well , i hardly have those on, i mostly use my phone for normal things, like calling or playing games or listening to music when out ..

...Who seems to be getting worse battery life since I've rooted and installed CM10 and Franco Kernel than stock.
Before with stock I was only losing about 1% every two hours on standby (sometimes even better I've no idea how)
Now I'm losing about 3% an hour on standby and also about 30% an hour screen time with just basic browsing (Screen brightness set to auto).
Also Media server is hammering my battery. Like I lost 3% battery in 15 mins without the screen on just playing music (not streaming) is that normal, I've come from an iphone 4s which didn't lose that in an hour :S
have i flashed it badly is there something else maybe i should try or are these stats about right ????
thanks guys
That's just the way it is just custom roms. When flashing, put your head between your legs and pray for the best. You can spend hours trying to figure out what's gone wrong, but you might never get an answer.
You can try underclocking your N4. Currently my dual-core Snapdragon S3 T-Mo Galaxy S2 is underclocked to 810MHz from 1.5GHz and performance is still great. I'm guessing you can UC your N4 to at least 1.2-1GHz and performance will still be great because of the quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU. Also, what governor and i/o are you using?

Hi Gents
Thanks for the reply, yeah it does seem a bit of a hit and miss kinda situation, I'm not masively bothered, im hoping eventually someone will stumple across a fix for the way the screen murders the battery life but im not holding my breath. Still love the phone, really getting used to it now, have tried (and failed) many times to switch to android, must be honest, this is the closest I've come so far to waving bye bye to ios, android is really really fantastic as an os, it's also super pretty to look at these days, stock apps like contacts, calender and the phone app itself are beautiful.
Let the phone and battery have several cycles, it will improve, eventually
thanks mate !!

Under clocking your phone isn't a viable situation. It's a phone, what's the point in it if you're not going to use it to your fullest when my phone lasts through the whole day going from 384-1500?
Some battery tips for op:
- download better battery stats (Google it for a xda version) use this to debug wakelock and ensure your phone is deep sleeping under cpu states. You can also use cpu spy to check cpu stats. Better battery stats is a must need.
- disable Google latitude in maps. Disable the automatic reporting and any other checked marks
- disable Google now cards that you have no use for
- disable gps (some apps use gps and drains battery when it keeps using gps when it isn't necessary)
- ensure your governor is interactive and on latest version of Franco (r20 is very good)

Just stick with the stock kernel that comes with cm10.

Highly advise doing that. Other kernels are way more optimized whereas CM is focused on the ROM itself and not optimizing the stock kernel.
I believe CM10 uses stock Google kernel anyways (could be wrong).
Use Franco Kernel or anybody elses kernel that you choose to.
Mine definitely improved after rooting and flashing custom ROM. Battery life when I was still stock was horrible.

A rom can make the battery life better as well...

A ROM has very minimal battery life improvements, it isn't as significant as a kernel. Hence the definition of "better"
Dears ,
i want to buy a new mobile , but i 'm confused between S3 GT-I9305 and S4 GT-I9505 , specially that the S4 GT-I9505 costs more than S3 with 250$ , i'm not a heavy mobile gamer , i rare to play games on mobile , all my usage for the mobile is for calls and internet , and all i need in mobile with 4g option and good battery life time , so does it worth to go for S4 GT-I9505 specially it's battery 2600 mh ?
S3 GT-I9305 vs S4 GT-I9505
i really appreciate your recommendations
Thanks
Sherif
S4's battery life kills over the S3's..
But if you're in a tight budget, you can get the i9305 instead and buy an extended battery

If buget is not a problem, than I suggest you should choose an S4 instead of the older S3 version. There are many things to be taken into account, great display, better battery life and so on...

Battery life time is of course dependant on the way you use your phone. I have also an S2 and with the stock 1600 battery was just not enough for one day of normal usage. After I replaced the battery with a 2000 one (400 mAh difference) , I was entirely pleased.
Au contraire, with my S4 GT-I9505 I don't feel the need to get a better / larger battery, as the stock one is enough for my needs which includes surfing the Web, emails, gaming, music and so on.
Now, between i9305 and i9505 you have 500 mAh difference. Sure, the screen will eat some more juice, but even so...

If you don't care about super sharp images, airview and using those gestures to browse through the websites you visit I would probably buy the S3.... There is no real difference between the 2 other than that. The 2gb ram is nice but not so noticeable when using your phone ( I believe the S3 I9305 may have come with 2gb) but the internal memory is really eaten up with the apps you will never use. What I'd do, and take into account the sluggishness of demo units, is go and try them out at a phone store and see what they're like. In the end it is your decision and YOU have to live with it...
It all depends on your preferences. I suggest you search the YouTube channel for s3 s4 comparisons. There are plenty of them.

i9505
You can buy a genuine 3000 mha battery for the i9305 and have a better battery life then the I9505.
i think i will review my budget again , and see to buy S4 or S3 with extended battery ..
Ok, from Hardware prespective , which is better S3 GT-I9305 or S4 GT-I9505 ?

Hello friends,
I use my phone for primarily for 30 min calls & 30 min browsing per day.
I have seen lot of reviews on net including XDA and it seems that i9505 has marginally better battery life than i9500 on stock ROM.
How does battery life compare on Custom ROM's. ?
If i exclude CPU performance, gaming, graphics, benchmarks & LTE, which of the two devices would have considerably better battery life considering my usage above.
Please give your feedback ...

please pour in your views ... thanks in advance.
I9500 has 2 quadcore processors one more powerful nd one less powerful nd more power efficient so when u do light tasks like browsing or calling more power efficient one is working while in i9505 its a power hungry processor working everytime so you may get better battery life on i9500
If you like putting custom roms and experimenting new root apps features. then I would highly recommend you i9505. If you are never going to put custom rom and i9500 is cheaper than i9505 at your place then only you should get i9500.
I have never compared custom rom battery life with stock rom battery life. but I can tell you that there is a difference.. Custom roms provide better battery life than stock roms. because stock roms have so much bloatware apps installed which are always running and sucking battery juice. Also there is an app special for snapdragon powered devices called Snapdragon™ BatteryGuru. I have never used it. but it has some good reviews. It can be useful.
I am a i9500 owner and I hate this phone so much. because it has no good custom roms like cyanogen,pacman,paranoid,aokp,aosp etc. because samsung has made exynos chip source code closedsource.
I dont think there will be much difference in terms of app performance. Both can run apps equally smooth and good.
Btw why dont you get nexus 5 32gb? I guess both s4 and nexus 5 has same price tag. In terms of performance nexus 5 is far better than s4.
hi guys ..so far i v tried cm112.1 and ressurection remix latest version rom... cm12.1 was draining 3% of my battery per hour without even touching the phone... the RR from the other hand about 1.1% per hour which is way better . but since im a battery maniac i wanna flash the best rom for battery life ( i dont care so much for performance since all roms have about the same performance , its not noticable in the human eye)... i dont care if its stock based or cm12 based.. i dont care if its 4.4.4 or lollipop. just want the best battery life i can take from this phone whithout having headaches tweaking things over and over again..... tyyyyyyy in advance .... P.S battery is the man's best friend .. dogs aint
Go with stock 4.4. Ofc some people at xda forum say they have the same battery life on cm 12 but the truth is , it doesnt matter if you have 900 mb free ram in cm 12 stock with 400 mb free ram will be always superior.
Theres a few 4.4 stock roms so just choose wich one you like the most
Sometimes with RR I have 600MB free

thats truth i flashed again stock after many months playing with custom ones and i can tell that battery life is much better with stock 4.4.2 and berformance isnt that bad until now....the only thing that socked me not that im so much into numbers and benchmarks but with stock got 16-17 k while with cm12 and RR had around 22k which is a bing difference anyway ill try flashing some stock based roms and ill report ...thanx for the feed back

y i could take up to 700 with rr sometimes which is pretty cool but for average usage i dont think ram is that important since android has to run some apps on the backround to work properly... baterry on the other hand is a must for me . thats why im planning to buy moto x play...not so high end specs but they do the job... that battery tho
Only cm12 that could pair stock in battery and was butter smooth was cm-12-20141227-UNOFFICIAL-s3ve3g.zip
Every update after that would stutter, bad battery, etc...
Stock ROM + Sev3n Kernel with intellidemand governor. Don't use alucard, because it causes stuttering and lag.

thanx for your feedback ill try that out,,i was about to try this kernel but i recently flashed a5 v2.4 by maxx35000 and im soooo happy with it... although i flash too often to try things out ... and yes stock based or official stock roms are much better for battery life

How about the comsuption of that rom?
Cheers.
This argument interest me .
The last updates of cm12.1 have a big battery drain. Any suggest?
ICS is best
Currently I tried CM12.1 and RR 5.5.4.
Both have a high consumption. I feel the CM suggested.
RR Rom (5.5.6) tried with @n1kolaa kernel and I was stunned:
Iddle mode: 0.2 - 1% per hour :good::good::laugh:
Screen on mode: Normal drain
With my normal usage, 1.5-2 days (email, fb, viber, whatsapp, calls, data on, wifi on)
