Maybe it's your mods. No problem with 4.4.2

Thanks for the response, I'll try disabling the mods, which rom are you using?

I think your battery is going really well, it was on about 20 hours that's a lot, mine was alive only 8 hours lol, however I'm trying a new rom.

lol i wish it was very well. Thats half the time i was getting JB. Kitkat is suppose to be lightweight, so that is suppose to help out with battery life.

Same here Android System 19% and Android OS 10% , Stock Rom unRooted, could be the SD CARD (perhaps it can't properly read it and keeps on trying), gonna try to remove it and check if the battery will drain as fast.

Batterylife is ok to me
S4 9505 / Note 10.1 2014 P600
Hit the thanks button if I was able to help you

Still no solution ... "Android OS" and "Android System" processes still quickly draining the baterry, even after 3 omega v23(kitkat) flashes + 1 wanamlite rom 4.4.2. Same results all the time.I think this is TW related problem and I will try a non-TW 4.4.2. custom ROM.I Will post back soon

Updated to stock 4.4.2 India ROM. Battery life is so far so good. 4% drop over-night. Shall post updated after EOD. The Android system is running because of the com.sec.sviewcover application. Think it is triggering the sensor without the cover and the phone is searching for it. If we can freeze it then hopefully the drain can be restricted.

You could have better battery life but android system and os are doing the same thing to your phone. The screen should always be number one on the battery monitor. android system and os suppose to be very low on the monitor.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S4 on 4.3 ROM battery life now sucks

Just signed up to this site today (3mins ago) after likeing the look of custom ROMS (seen it on CNET UK).
So installed my first custom ROM yesterday at about 10-11 pm. Went through all processes rebooted my phone
Switched it back on came up with usual Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505,went onto next screen and said Google instead of Samsung.
So I thought great its worked, so I went through setup phone (English' United kingdom, do you have a Google account etc).
Once all that was done I adjusted some settings like ringtones etc, played around with it for a while to get used to the ROM.
At about 1130 - 1145pm I unplugged my phone (100% charged).
Woke up today and picked my phone up to check the time (745am) and emails but my my phone didn't respond I thought **** its bricked so I held power but just to make sure it wasn't battery was dead and it was! Anyone else haveing battery problems with the leaked android 4.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341026
(Above is the ROM I downloaded)
I have nothing else apart from a rooted GT-I9505 XXUAMDM no custom kernel just this Custom ROM.
Any help will be appreciated my battery lasted about 8 hrs with no use cause I was asleep!
Yes battery is currently an issue with any 4.3 roms. Keep in mind that Google hasn't OFFICIALLY announced any release date for 4.3.
So the leak we have right now is probably the developer version and/or a version which is on a very early stage.
Oh btw you're lucky to get 8hrs of battery others reported 4 or 6hrs

Thanks for the reply I didn't know that. I only got 8 because I was asleep so phone was inactive. I m going to go back to stock
Using 4.3 odin version and my battery is satisfactory. Now 16 hours on and still 56% left (screen time 2 h 18 min).

Use odin how exactly im new to the custom rom seen
Try flashing the 4.2.2 google edition instead. The 4.3 version is leaked and not even supposed to be released for public use, hence may have issues.
Edit: hmm.. The rom you linked to is 4.2.2? Is it not?

I have all location stuff off. If you have on that might drain battery.
I was getting poor battery using 4.3 like 4-5 hrs with little use have since gone back to 4.2.2 hope the devs can work there magic and fix soon for us :beer:

I also had a terrifying battery life. I would recommend getting the 4.2.2 "Google edition" rom created by jamal2367. It's pre rooted and has all the features from the 4.3 update and best of all, the battery is great!
Isn't that leaked 4.3 rom currently for TW only? I would highly recommend one of the AOSP roms. Use either Illusion or Liquidsmooth provided they are released for this type of the phone, I have the T-Mobile M919.

[ROM][4.2.2] Cyber-SGS IV Style

Cyber-SGS IV Style​This is the ported version of the [4.2.2] Cyber-SGS IV Style FINAL Rev 1<MK/SN> (14/07/2013) ​All the hard work was done by cyberaprendiz, Spam his thanks button! I just ported this amazing ROM to our Cappy!​As with any ROM, I am not responsible for any bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.​
This ROM will come in two versions, one will be based on Mackay, and the other will be based on Supernexus. Both versions will come with the Devil Kernel. I am by no means a developer and I will only update the ROM when and if cyberaprendiz updates the i9000 thread.​
Features!
Based on Android 4.2.2 JDQ39
Optimitation tweaks in build.prop and init.d
Touchwiz Launcher
Accuweather Widget
Samsung Galaxy IV theming
Wallpapers , icons and sounds from SGS IV
Cento Apps
SNotes
Keyboards: AOSP, Swipe or Xperia

Just a few hiccups on my end so far:
-Insane battery drain
-Lag
Now I know the battery drain could be caused by a number of factors, but the lag was so terrible at one point that it took me over two minutes after I pressed the power button for the power menu to come up.
I thought it might have been Devil kernel seeing as how I have had lag and battery issues with it before.
So I played around with the kernel settings for a bit, but it was still a no go.
I tried a few other kernels ( Cyancore, Grear, Semaphore) still extremely bad lag.
I finally just re-flashed CM.
It's too bad, because I really liked the feel of this ROM.

Weird. Did you modify the kernel settings at all?
I wish it was running that good for me, because I really want to use this ROM.
I might try to re-flash after I get off work and mess around with it a little bit more.

install better battery status to know whats actually draining your battery.... if its the kernel wake lock or any app is draining your battery...
battery time is fine by me... not that bad after all...
which semaphore did you flashed? official or unofficial!?
also please give some time to rom to get settled! most of the times battery drains caused by media server app which is only a one time activity after a new flash!

Thanks for the response. I tried both version of Semaphore. I figured I needed to give the ROM time to settle, that's why I was going to try and re-flash it tonight and keep it for a few days. I thought about the wake lock as well.

Is your version of SuperNexus the same as SuperNexus M1 that we already have for Captivate? I'm particularly interested in Volume Wake option, not present in original SuperNexus.

I re-flashed last night and everything seems to be running good now. I figured tweaking the kernel had something to do with it, so this time I left it alone. Thank you for the Super Nexus version! I'll try this one out as well.
Maybe it's just me, but the Super Nexus version is giving me WIFI issues. Not letting me turn it on.

What is ssp_sensorhub_wake_lock? Why is it always awake?

Hi,
Since updating my GT-I9500 to Android 4.3, my phone has been draining battery very badly. In the battery stats, it shows "Android OS" as the culprit. Using BetterBatteryStats, it shows ssp_sensorhub_wake_lock has been running continuously since last reboot. BetterBatteryStats also show that my phone is awake (100%) since unplugged.
I am seeing this since MJ5 firmware. I am currently running MK8. Stock rooted.
Can anyone help?

It is important to see the second battery graph (tap over the little graph above).
Do you have any wather station app (humidity and air pressure) or widget running? Try to uninstall all those apps so you can locale the problem, and then install them one to one and watch...
Also you can try to wipe cache and dalvik, or even overflash same rom again with odin 3.09.

1) Please find new battery stats below, with the 2nd graph.
2) I have Ambient installed but it has been greenified (I have been suspecting this app all along since SSP is possibly referring to the device sensors). I will try to uninstall it and update.
3) Cache & Dalvik has been wiped a few times, no improvement. To re-flash using Odin 3.09, I'll try later but I do not see how this can help the situation. I used 3.07.

Uninstalled Ambient. No improvement. Disabled Air Gesture, I can see the ssp_sensorhub_wake_lock gone in BetterBatteryStats top list but battery is still bad and Android OS is still at the top.

Ok, in the 2nd graph we can see there is no partial wakelocks. About Odin 3.09, yes, if you have i9500 Odin 3.07 is ok, I thought you had LTE version.

Before be sure if it works, you should start a new battery cicle (from unpowered), or set in battery starts a custom reference.

I have a feeling it's Google Search causing this issue. I iwas using the Nexus 5 apk on my phone. I uninstalled the update, and re-update via Play Store and my phone no longer having the "Android OS" topping the battery stat. It has been >2 days without issue.
Dies anyone ralize what was this issue about? I'm just having the same problem and uninstalling Google search did not solve it

The battery life for me slightly improved, keyword slightly. My guess, check the battery usage and see where the battery is being drained.
I'm also getting longer battery life after upgrading to lollipop

How long?
Isn't it supposed to add something massive like an extra half-1 hour of on screen time?
Hummm...so, I bet there's something wrong.
I did a clean install by fastboot.....
I Don't think there are special draining app ....anyway.... have a look :

A pity that wakelock detector doesn't work for the moment.
Yesterday, 1st full day using stock rooted lollipop, i had 22hours before battery fully drained, with 2:50h screen on time,
wifi & 3g activated, auto sync too, 2 reboots and apps installations.
You'll have an idea at the end of the day.
Also, if it drains, maybe because of "gadget" apps.
i know that stock email app in previous android versions is a battery-eater app.
Also, maybe check in your account settings the syncs activated and uncheck some.
Strange....with kitkat I had the same settings...and I could use my nexus for more than a day
This lollipop is a major drainer! I'm disappointed... I'm sticking with KitKat for now till I get the Nexus 6

It socks hard
I had 4 to 5 hours of heavy use in KK. Now (clean L installation) I can't get more than 2 hours.
You guys seem to be getting the wifi "miscellaneous" drain. The stock images were supposed to fix that (hence the delay). I would try a complete reset.
Once more I've flashed lolipop.....
Fastboot method, rooting with NRT....
After 7 hours of non intensive use, 51% battery remains ....what's this S..t ?
any help please.....
I've done a complete reset and installed a factory image and I'm having severe drain...
Same here :'( . Device is active most of the time, and looses 1% per minute when screen is on and gets extreme hot.
Super heavy battery drain!
Lollipop for nexus 4 seems to have so many issues.
Random openning of recent apps,auto brightness, extreme hot while using camera,battery drain on wifi.
lollipop really actually sucks.

Yes, I do agree...anyway, many peoples have good retourns with their N4 with lollipop .... why are there so many differences ?
is it the difference due to side load and OTA?

Do everyone who sideloaded Lollipop are having problems or with OTA also having same problems?
do let me know what can be done now!
I flashed a stock image. And my battery is useless unless I turn on battery saver and 2g

Me again....
All is good for me now ... here is what I did :
- I downloaded the stock image once more
- I flashed it via fastboot cmd
- I rooted like this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56773036&postcount=1
- then I downloaded the TWRP img and flashed it with fastboot cmd too
Now ... I can Use my N4 for 2 days.....
Hope that helps

So ?

Note 4 from verizon dies at ~35%

I have the note 4 from verizon, rooted with xpossed and running JASMINE ROM 7.0 and every time I'm using my phone at ~35% it thinks it's dead n shuts it's self down without the shutdown process it just goes to a black screen. Then it attempts to reboot but gets stuck in a bootloop until I plug it in then it reads 34 or 35%. I have colaborated the battery with root essentials app from Google play store. On the other hand when I'm not using it it dies around 20% it does the same thing. Is this a hardware or software issue?

Unfortunately dialing *#0228# doesn't work on my current ROM, do you know of an app or another way I can access this menu?

I am facing the same problem the link which was given to you won't solve the issue so i think it's a software related or it's a "bug".. mine shuts down at 15 to 10% and goes into a bootloop..
So my recommendation is do not attempt to do anything. buying a new battery or factory reseting your phone will not solve this problem i tried every method in xda
Just use it as it's hoping that next update solves this problem "fingercrossd"
Cheers

I was trying out this ROM [ROM][6.0.1]Nseven [N910VVZW2CPL1][1/10/2017]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/development/note-4-grace-7-t3434155/page233 and in the post there's a kernel that I flashed to be able to install the ROM and after using the ROM I decided to restore my phone from a backup on TWRP and didn't re flash my boot img and my battery seems to last longer. I did have to re install supersu binary from TWRP to get it working but my phone battery seems to be working much better then before. Here's the kernel link from OP or u can find it in the link above BeastMode-Kernel_2_ZL.zip - OneDrive
https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=...1517&parId=6729B30E83B8764C!185&action=locate I would recommend to test it I'm not sure if it actually helped or not but it seems to have just wanted to let you know as an idea or an option i guess.

*Update My first battery cycle lasted till 4% after i took the screen shot within 2 min phone died
I am on the 2nd cycle now, my max battery cycle for the battery to calibrate probably is 5 full cycles if the problem remains.. my only solution is a custom rom and kernel.
