I'm sorry, I didn't understand what the issue is. Could you explain it again? Also, which highlight are you talking about?

he means the time he has the screen on its still black bar instead of blue bar

Oh I understand now. Well, its been that way ever since the battery graph came along. Its that way even on my i9000. I think it has to do with the fact that even when the screen is on, the processor is not necessarily processing if you aren't doing anything. Even the CPU frequency goes down to its minimum value, despite your screen being on without any app open or task running. Also, there's a difference between sleep and deep sleep.

You probably hold the phone to your ear when you use viber. Which means your phone i active with the screen off.

Yes something is wrong like mine. I think it's inverted. The screen on is the awake graph and vice versa because it makes no sense to have screen on while the device is not awake lol

no, you have bad media file (music, video or picture) on your SD card.

Guys, let me ask you a question.
Which one would you chose, considering battery life? (battery, a very important thing for me).
GT-9500 or GT-9505?

That is not a question! Get the octa core! the 9500!

Ok, i am waiting for opinions.
I am more likely to buy the octa core version but, from the feedback i've read on the forum it overheats a lot, and the battery is not so great.

This is my first Droid so i dont know the implications of Hard Reseting my device. Will it remove the Bloatware from my service provider? Is there a way to retrieve the apps and settings and stuff after hard reset that after hard reseting it, it doesnt feel like i did a hard reset?

Settings --> Accounts --> Backup&Reset --> Factory reset
No, it won't remove any of the bloatware, but our forum members have said that it will help with battery life and overheating problems.
The bloatware can be removed only by rooting the phone.

Yes.

Except for mediaserver your numbers are normal and you should expect screen to take that percentage or even somewhat more. In the 40 percent range is quite typical and expected. The one poster was correct, find out what is keeping mediaserver lit up.

Android system eating battery

My battery is declining faster than expected and when I looked up my stats, it showed that Android system was eating up more battery than the screen!

I'm not complaining, but just curious why Android system is such a battery drain. It would seem that the screen would be the biggest drain.

So it should be higher in usage than the screen? I always thought it was a bad thing if Android system was the first thing on the list.
Okay then, never mind. I am happy with the battery life, just want to make sure I'm getting the best battery this phone can offer.

Just for your reference.

Generally though if Android OS is higher than your screen on time then you have a wakelock issue. I know without root it'll be a little harder to fix the issue at hand though.
I'd at least look into WiFi settings and turn Always Allow Scanning to Off. Then maybe look at your GPS settings and try the battery friendly mode or GPS only mode. I also don't allow Google to use your WiFi for better location results. There have been similar bugs reported with 4.4 here is some info and afew people trying to squash the issue on a Nexus http://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/1y96zm/battery_drain_caused_by_android_os_possible/
You boys need root!
I'm not sure if any of the wake lock apps out can show you what's causing this without root but maybe look into it.

Also you can try changing the "keep WiFi on during sleep" to either off or only when plugged in. That may help. Just suggestions that's all. Maybe something here will help somebody.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

You also have to remember how much Samsung based apps are running in the background at all times. Figure the pedometer in S-Health, any kind of airview, or S-This S-That when the phone is on. That is probably part of the cause. I do say i see it too but i wouldnt say my battery is exactly bad because of it.

Thank you for those tips! I didn't know about that wifi one. I immediately unchecked always scanning. I keep my wifi on to make sure I use wifi, if available, but I don't need it always scanning. I hesitated on the gps switch, but I figured I'll try it on power saver and see what happens.
Edit:
After turning off wifi scanning, that's what I got. That looks better to me. Although my usage time is lower than my previous screenshot, I started my day at 90% (forgot to charge last night, and that's as high as I could get it before leaving for work), and I'm using my phone more today.

Don't you have to user another UI to get rid of the magazine one. Once changed to Nova Launcher it went away.

Was hoping there would be an option to switch it off like on my s5. Also was really hoping for a screen mode selection so I can turn down the saturation for movie watching. I may give Nova a try.

I took most of the widgets off the magazine UX, and if you don't scroll in that direction, you have nothing to worry about. I pretend like it's not there.

I did. Maybe a little better battery life than BNF2. I noticed that it charges up to 95% and then stops charging. I'm going to take the battery down all the way then recharge see if that has any effect. Other than that, I haven't noticed any difference.

I updated mine. My wifi issues are now gone. Thank goodness. I got a new kid mode, got multi user mode, and it uped my antutu x score almost 1000 points. It did however stopped all my apps from changing anything on the sd card. That includes moving stuff there or to the internal storage. I did get the stock filemanger to do it but none if my dowloaded apps work. So mx player won't delete movies or change names, my file manger that I had been busing no longer works with the sd card and so on. Not a big deal since the stock samsung apps still have the ability. I did have to turn of the device and turn it back on after the update to get that to work though. Not that much of a big deal

I'm at 7:30 into depleting the battery. Heavy use and leaving the screen on and I'm only down to 57%. At this rate, I will wear out before the battery. I can definitely say that BNF3 has much better battery life than BNF2 did.

Not sure exactly what the update includes aside from security patches, but ever since I updated, my phone is rebooting every 5-10 minutes.
On another board, someone mentioned that it included activation of the FM radio, but I cannot confirm that.
