I just got new S4 in black and i am loving it. I really feel for the first time that iphone has a real competition now, as the user experienced is very much improved.
Any how we all know S4 is the best, but it is very bad with battery time. I previously had a note2 device you and it usually last more than 2 days on my average use (despite of its much bigger screen size). To make S4 last longer i have turned off every extra feature (i.e air view, smart scroll and all such stuff) but still battery is draining very fast. So this is what i wanted to know...
WHICH IS THE BEST KERNEL THAT CAN HELP IN BOOSTING THE BATTERY TIME OF S4?
when i had a S2 i used Siyah, and it almost doubled my battery time, 2 days even with data on. It was crazy. I am expecting something similar. Please guide me.
And thank you all in advance
what version do you have 505 or 500

Hi All, if I had two original Samsung Note 3 batteries, how can I test to find out which one is newer or healthier? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Anyone?

They are most likely going to be the exact same bro. The battery's where both manufactured close to the same time I'm sure. Personally I wouldn't even worry about it. But do a complete drain test with each one over the course of a week. Only drain the battery to around 10% on each though. No need to go all the way to 1% lol. I'm sure after a week of testing each battery you will find similar results. Also install gsam from the play store for a bit of extra information.

Hey guys
Need some help here
So my nexus 7 2012 wifi, bought in Australia in December of 2012 has gone haywire and I don't have a clue why
My battery life... Which was awesome till some time ago now socks!
My battery which was 51 % when I started watching an h264 encore movie was around 5% by the end of it... And the movie was exactly 3 hrs long
I don't now what the problem is
My battery has depleted by 10 % in the last one hour
Lemme give you a list of the apps which may be causing the problem
1.whatsapp
2.viber
3.tango
4.skype
5.xposed framework with
5.1.youtube adaway
5.2.greenify
5.3.Keepchat
5.4.gravity box
5.5.swiftkey goodness on more fields
My nexus is stock rooted with stock kerne and running the KOT49H android version
I use SwiftKey by the way.. Just in case
This has been happening since the last one month around I think after I installed xposed but even then there must be thousands of nexus 7s running xposed and mine is causing problems
I'm a moderate user and use it mostly for browsing and listening to music
I just installed whatsapp. But already had tango viber and Skype before all this.
What do you guys thinks... Is it because of the aged battery or some other software component. I have tried factory reset and the battery test using the movie as a reference was conducted without installing xposed after I had factory reset my data but whatsapp had already been installed by that time.
Please help guys... I love this thing and I don't wanna lose it to battery troubles!!!
Update guys...
At 8.23 pm my battery was exactly 50%
By 8.43 pm it went down to 45%
Thats a decrease of 5% in 20 mins
And this is with light whatsapp usage and browsing and that too for not more than 10 mins
Other than that the tablet was asleep with wife switched off
And also forgot to tell you guys the wifi is troubling me a bit too. But I suspect that may be due to connection problems due to the distance between the two devi es and also it does take a little time to connect to the internet even after the signal is shown as fully connected. This started today.
I'm freaking out. Help XDA crowd!
Get gsam. From play store. And be sure to open it once. Charge to 100 and let it go til you're pretty low.
Then see what its saying. It usually can help find most battery issues. Post screen shots from gsam here if you want help.
Good luck!

Hi guys,
So bought the Verizon Galaxy S5 for my fiance when it came out. Over the past week or two it's been dying rather quickly. Attached are some battery metrics I took from the screenshot. Do they look normal to you?
It looks like the android system is using up all the battery, but I'm not sure why this is.
Thanks in advance for any help!

It seems your Gps is on.
Keep GPS off.(Location).
This will help you to boost your battery.
this is perfectly normal. having 35% after 8 hours is actually average

Do you remember what the screen time was from those screenshots? Android OS at 60% seems really high

You have unrealistic expectations. Using two thirds of the charge over 8 hours is not atypical. Why do you believe otherwise?
You can do various tweaks to gain a few hours e.g. GPS always off, short screen time outs, perhaps install some inverted apps (black themed screens use considerably less battery), et cetera. Or perhaps invest in an extended capacity battery. Or some people feel that it is easier to carry a spare battery.

What is everyone on in this thread?! 8 hours is nothing and unless you have been gaming non stop, which seems doubtful considering the display being almost non existent in the log, you should normally get at least 24-48 hours with about 3-5 hours of screen time. Something is wrong with either the software or the battery, but normally it is a software problem, BBS is your friend.

You sir, are a troll until proven otherwise. You are simply wrong, perhaps the reason why all of the other posts disagree with you. 24+ hours is not normal. The only way anyone would get that kind of duration is to have the phone off most of the time and most people do not use their phones that way. The OP had 8.6 hours at @ 32% remaining, a wholly normal result.
Certainly battery life varies widely depending on GPS & wifi use, gaming, screen time and so forth. But to claim that 24+ hours is normal is egregiously specious.

Wow wow, hold your horses, you are being serious? It is completely normal for me with my 900F model and a lot of people are getting it. 24/48 hours is my typical battery with phone on (the battery obviously doesn't count power off, so that is a moot point anyways). I happened to make a SS last month and will share it for you to see and I didn't even try to save the battery, I never do since the battery of the S5 is so exceptional!
I agree, it does not look normal. Something is probably holding wake locks or working the CPU. There's a lot of badly written apps out there, including some of the most popular. I've seen FB messenger and Slacker radio apps use 2-6% CPU in the background for no good reason, consistently until force closed.
In any case, try to install an app that can read wakelocks, like BetterBatteryStats or GSAM. Also check the tasks screen in Android Tuner to see if something is keeping the CPU busy in the background for no reason.
Once you figure out the abnormal drain, try installing my app, LeanDroid to extend your battery even more

Hello
For more than a month I bought the note 7 and almost immediately I noticed that the battery didn't last as the others said ...
If I use it very little it makes me 2 and a half days if I use it normally as 1 day.
I'm fed up because I can't do anything with this phone, I only installed whatsapp and I just didn't activate the GPS in my account ..
Screen light is low
Can anyone help me? There is a solution?
Has anyone solved the problem?
Thanks
Ps I have already done 4 reset has not helped at all, sometimes I google play sevices and frameworks that consume 10% to 30% ...
Dude are you complaining that your battery life lasts between 1 to 2.5 days? What are you expecting?
