So my phone sometime last for 3 days, normal usage, sometimes it lasts barely a day. That's with same apps, same usage, same patterns.
I charge my phone before going to bed. If I wake up with it still on 100% I know I'm in for a 3 day+ cycle, but sometimes for no apparent reason, I wake up with 75-80%.
Better Battery stats shows the phone was asleep 99% of the time. I'm going crazy over this love/hate relationship with my phone.
That's android. Sometimes apps go rouge.
Posting from my LG G2 while driving an Evo IX.
Under alarms section I see com.android.phone has hundreds, even thousands, depending on uptime, wakeups. What could this mean? My carrier has FD so I have it enabled, is this connected?
I've now started having abysmal battery life. I've flashed kk kdz and started from scratch yesterday. Greenify all apps I can think of, frozen all bloat. Google now is not running, location services off, Google backup turned off, I barely used the phone. I've had great battery life on kk before, it's abysmal the last week. No apparent wakelocks, no rogue apps. I'm literally stumped as to what is happening.

Could be a built hardware issue. I've heard and seen bad battery reports.
Mine isn't as great as everybody elses, but lately I've been running without battery save on full brightness using chrome all day and changing things since root. So that's to be expected.

I'm thinking it's hardware as well. I'm gonna do another charge cycle and see if anything changes. If not, I'm factory reseting again but with no apps installed. If that fails as well, I'm gonna go claim warranty...which will leave me without a phone for a week, at least.
My drain hunting is still going on. What I have found out is the phone works fine when it's factory reseted. After installing apps, everything is still fine. The problem starts happening after my memory starts getting filled. I can't pin-point if it's pictures, videos, music..but I' sure the files themselves are good. Because they are my personal files, not downloaded from shady places.
Pretty much after some time, the drain appears again.
Is there a way to check the internal storage for errors and to possibly fix them?
i reverted back to 4.2.2. KK was draining my battery for the same activity about 2x the speed. it wasn't even a "i think" it's draining more.. it's definitely. revert back to 4.2.2 if batter life is important to you.
i tried both XDAxebb's and micromods's stock and stock debloated.
If I may, you seem to have used 3G for 12 hours over a 58% battery drain. As far as I know that qualifies as great battery life.

Not when 11h out of 12h was deep sleep.
Here is my battery life so far, 3 hours screen time 25 hours on battery.

The image speaks for itself, but I'll add some info. I have a SetCPU profile for screen off that sets it to 245 min and max, and I haven't been using the phone hardly at all the past two days. Wifi has been on the entire time.
Normally, after 8 hours of light use, my phone would be dead with Android System taking up about 40% of the battery, and the three radio entries taking up about 16% each.
I've been using CyanogenMod 6.1.1 since the day it came out, with it's built-in kernel, not Pershoot's. I've done nothing else custom. The only thing that I can correlate with this change in battery life is a new version of SetCPU came out a couple days ago.
Or maybe it's just an unrelated fluke, and tomorrow whatever battery-eating bug exists in the system will rear its ugly head again. I dunno. All I know is I've never seen battery life like this on my G2.
101% yaaaaay I can add

Screen not even registering as using any?
most of my usage is screen for 60%+ (maybe 2 hrs on)
and 15~18 hours tops!
You still geting great battery life I have the same setup and battery life is average not as good as 6.1
I do not mean to highjack your thread but I have a question. For the cell standby power consumption, what is registered as the amount of time with no signal? I am in a full HSPA+ area and it still tells me that 50% of the time my phone has no signal, how is that possible? Thank you for your responses.
I managed 56 or 59 hours once and the display wasn't on the list either. I mentioned this in another thread but it was generally ridiculed and dismissed
i lose about 50% of battery with hspa on during a 8 hour shift. Of course random facebook and texting is going on.
I noticed an improved battery life with the unofficial Gingerbread builds. Did Google finally get it right?

That has been my experience, though I'm still stuck using the stock HTC sense since I updated to 1.72 before rooting.
Whenever I check battery use, the Display is ALWAYS the highest consumer, by a large margin. I usually see 60-70% Display, and the cell standby, etc are only a few percent. Now I'm really upset I can't root it for the forseeable future.
Did you just not ever touch the phone at all? I mean, the display isn't even listed!!?!?
As I said, I was barely using the phone at all.
Right now I'm at 95% after 10 hours of non-use. I don't remember this ever being possible in the past.
Even when I actively use the phone (at least in the past) Display would never be very high. Android System was always #1 with the radios beneath that, and Display somewhere around 6%, as I recall.
In the time it took me to write this post mostly in Swype, I lost 2% so my crazy battery life seems limited to the screen being off (with the corresponding very low cpu speed). Still, it's never been this good before.
lol the title is hilarious just had to say
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I bet the lcd being not used plus wifi instead of 3G is the reason. Plus, I think it's witchery not wizardry, lol! Maybe both... whatever they are both hilarious! Ah, the days of yore!
I know this has posted a million times.
Without a warning my stock KH1 with CF-root started to have bad battery. According to battery usage it's the android system. Around 40 - 60% sometimes.
I usually had it around 10 - 20%
Also the better battery stats says its caused by "suspend" and "events/0"
Now I've have read this bug over and over by tons of people but I never had it. Always stayed on stock with cf-Root. Didn't have a problem and BAM! there it was
As soon I noticed this I flashed stock back, first to KH1 and then KG6. No difference. And no I didn't just wait half a day to see if it worked with each other firmware or ROM I gave it at least 3 days or at least 3 battery charges.
And so it went on. Stock KH1 with CF-ROOT -> KH1 -> KG6 -> Cognition S2 1.51 -> Exynos 5.4. No difference.
Again I'm sorry of bringing this up. I wouldn't post this thread if I had this from the beginning. I just find it weird that it just appeared.
Maybe it's from my apps but wouldn't the battery usage say anything?
Just saying as well that my phone sleeps when my screen if off and goes awake when I turn it on. No odd awakes while my screen is off.
With regards,
Sven

This is the Android OS bug. I doubt it will get fixed before Ice Cream Sandwich, and even then, it's not sure. Welcome to the club of ****ty battery.
lol, battery is not so bad, anyway, which is the most actual firmware file version??

Did you refresh BatterBatteryStats? Sometimes it doesn't update. If it's updated, then it's not nearly that bad. For me I've noticed that 1m of CPU time is about 1% of battery lost. So for you in that screen it's about 12% lost due to the suspend and events/0 activities. And if battery is at 34% (can't see correctly, too small), then you don't have it nearly as bad as some others.
Here's what I get sometimes when it escalates: (20h lifetime, complete idle)
@OP- You are on the same group with me. I always stay on CF root with Stock ROM and I also never had that AOS bug until last week it suddenly appeared! I posted about it on the BBS thread but got no response usually. The thing is you can't stop it, once it there you just have to live with it. And gradually it will disappear again. Just wait till then.
Regards.

I've never believed in the AOS battery drain bug until I got it myself. And indeed like the others have said, there is no permanent way to fix it.
the best you can do is to try flashing different ROMs or kernels and see which one gives you the best battery life, with or without the drain bug. For starters, you might want to check out the Speedmod kernel

No, there are ways to fix the bug at times, just depends on what causes it. Day one when I received my phone, I had the android os bug. Used to be up in the high 50%+ for Android OS, but then I found out my router caused the issue and now it's always below 10%. I'm also on stock btw, no root or anything.
Bought it almost a week ago and the main reason for switching from iPhone was the battery life was supposed to be jaw dropping.
I'm very disappointed. I have almost no non stock apps (just social media ones) and I'm not impressed. These results are actually some of the better ones. Usually I only get 2.5 hours of screen time.

Should I return it? I mean I also run with No location, no bluetooth, and brightness as low as it can go.

If you have given up on the S5 period, sure. If you mean that you think your particular phone is defective, then no. There is no evidence whatever that your phone is defective. The S5 battery life is in fact very good. But like all things it varies because everyone uses their phones differently..
Your figures of 14 hours battery life (2.5 - 3.5 hours screen on) are on the low side for a S5, but hardly abysmal. If you do a bit of tweaking and update some apps or your firmware, I have no doubt that you could almost double that. Battery life is variable, depending on what apps you have installed and how you use your phone. Some apps like Skype or Tunein are notorious battery hogs. As is leaving wifi on when the wifi signal is weak or non existent.
Your post gives an impression of you having unrealistic expectations. Nevertheless, if you are still happy, then return it and get a different phone model. But there is nothing wrong with your handset and trying to exchange it for another S5 won't change anything. It just needs a bit of tweaking. If you play with the settings a bit you should be able to get ~ 20 hours, including 5 - 8 hours of screen time, rather than your current 14 /3. Use that as a benchmark for how you want to proceed.
If you want a better idea if you apps are the issue, then temporarily uninstall all of your third party apps. Then see what difference it makes running only stock apps for one day.

I'm unsure what you want me to tweak.
I have locations turned off, bluetooth turned off, and brightness as low as it can go
In terms of apps installed I only have the following non verizon stock:
Reddit sync
facebook
twitter
instagram
snapchat
Given whats installed and what is already disabled I think this battery life is pretty bad. My gf gets 4+ hours of screen with more apps installed and still 40%+ battery on her S5

It's not rocket science. You're on the lower normal end of battery life, about what one would expect for a heavy user or a phone that has hasn't had much optimization done. If you do a simple search for threads on how to optimize battery life and read for a few minutes, you'd have all of the tools you need to improve your battery life 50 - 100%.
If you're somehow still unhappy, that's on you. We've tried to make constructive suggestions but you seem to expect spoon feeding or magic. The S5 with minimal tweaks has exceptional battery life. If you want to improve your battery life, make the effort to do a bit of reading in existing threads. Or go ahead and exchange your S5 for some other model. And you can gripe about the battery life for that one too.

It's clear there isn't an easy fix otherwise you would just say it.
I never even wanted a different model I was questioning whether my particular s5 is faulty. As my gf keeps location and WiFi on all day with tons of apps and gets almost 2x battery life. She doesn't read anything about tweaks so Im not sure why you keep saying that. In fact I doubt she has ever gone into the battery settings menu to even know what kind of time she is getting.
Hey all
I've been having massive issues with my battery life recently, it's never been great however it's actually gotten a lot worse post Kit Kat. I've taken a few screenshots on a few different apps like GSam Monitor, Wakelock detector and Battery Widget, I was wondering if somebody could help me diagnose the issue. Or at least just give me general insights into the numbers that I'm getting in terms of battery life.
EDIT: Just noticed a new issue where a couple of times my battery was somewhere in the 40's and then the phone crashes and when I start it back again it just has about 2 % battery left. Weirdly enough, after charging it for a couple of minutes, that battery now goes up to 30%. Would love to know if somebody has had a similar issue and what might be a way to go about trying to find some sort of solution.

2. Try flashing stock firmware... Might be a software issue

same battery issue here. Its not because software. i tryed CM11m11, Ubuntu Touch, stock.. same problem. Im waitting new battery, because i was not that gentle with batteru when i was repalcing camera 15 days ago.
Usualy moment before phone restart, lose sim signal, then freeze and restart
If flashing stock doesn't resolve it, I'd say the battery is dying. I went from 2 hours between charges to 12-14 with a new battery.

My battery is also dying (switched to new phone now). It averages about 1 hour of SOT over several days and it's only wifi only. I guess I could swap out a fresh one but it goes to show that we need easily removable batteries but they just don't last that long.

Experienced the same issues like you did. A friend of mine who is used to fix iPhones did it for me. I just bought the new battery and paid him a beer
Did your battery life return to "normal"? Not that the Nexus 4 ever had great usage time. I might attempt it myself as a challenge.

It did. I've connected my LG G Watch to my N4 so Bluetooth, GPS and mobile data are always on.
But Facebook is a Batterykiller I'm working from 07:45am till 4pm and when I come home I've around 40%-50% battery left.

Around 3-4 hours when my Bluetooth, mobile data(3G) and gps is on. But I can't tell it exactly cause I'm not using it that much anymore cause my primary phone is the N5.
I replace battery, now everithing works perfect. It was battery problem, not software.
I've been waiting for my battery to die. This is my normal use. I just do what I normally do.
Streamed music to my car while driving for a while
browsed reddit/xda and other forums a lot... mainly on WiFi.

Could you tell me guys the version and the baseband of yours?
Because it seems that the latin america version the battery is barely poor.
Thanks!
Damn... Going beast mode with this battery. Would've gone longer, but gotta use it more tomorrow when I'm out. Ya, I know I only have 4hrs of SOT. Haven't been using much
I assume anyone getting more than 48 hours of battery life is turning off data, or at least disabling updates/background data. Just out of curiosity, do you always keep that turned off, or do you just do that when you're seeing how much you can squeeze out of the battery? In my mind, the big reason to get a device with a big battery is so you don't have to baby the battery like that.
