S4 GT i9505 Snap Dragon Battery Problem

Hi all, I recently purchased a galaxy s4 1.9 Ghz quad core snap dragon and last night I turned off the phone with 26% battery when I lit morning I found a 23% battery! Other thing when i navigate on facebook, with half brightness I consume a lot of battery, for example if i have 5 minutes on facebook consume 4, 5 % battery go! Is it normal?

A different battery level between turning off and back on is nothing unusual, especially only 3%. It's the first release and things will improve as the firmware is updated.
I have no issues with general battery life myself - it is much better than my I9100 ever was. With normal use I go from fully charged to between 30 and 40 percent in around 16-18 hours and considering we're talking about a phone with a 5" 1080p display I don't think there can be any complaints about that. I have never had to recharge during the day.

What settings do you leave on? I usually don't pass the 10 hour mark without having to recharge. I leave mobile data, sync, screen rotation and multi Window and turn the rest off. The battery life is horrible especially for someone coming from a Note II

Facebook on S4 is a battery hog for sure. On the 10-11 hours my phone was on, Facebook accounted for 50% of the battery usage, and the screen 26%. Turn of Facebook sync and such, that will improve your battery life.

I don't use Facebook on my I9505, but I have to concur the battery life on this phone is utter garbage.
With mobile data, power saving and sync on, this thing still drains like crazy, there is definitely something wrong somewhere with the S4's battery in general. I've only heard very few people saying it's actually decent, other than that, mine and pretty much everyone else I hear commenting about the S4's battery life agree it's horrible.

It's not the apps, it's the phone or the battery.

Should I exhange? Massive battery drain.

I have had my S4 for 5 days, battery lasts me only 5-6 hours at best. Moderate useage. Disabled all bloatware and apps I am not using. Not having the Maps issue, also turned off all the air gesture stuff and etc. Should I get it replaced?

Is your screen at max brightness? When you click on your screen in that screen what kind of on time are you getting before it's dead? I get 3-4 hours usually

Its all the way down and on auto. And it says 1 hour and 45 mins

What does betterbatterystats say?

I have the same problem, but I get around 2:30 screen on. About 6-8 hours usage, I've been trying different ways of charging to see if it will extend life, I might try to use power saver mode next if I can't find a way to get better life.

I have same problem too. This is day 7 for me since I acquired the device. The first day I thought the drain was from the amount of usage during my setting up the device. But now even after a full charge. It will be down to 92% just sitting in my holster in about an hours time. The battery would drain in about 8 to 10 hours.
The only massive usage in the battery status page I see is the screen and I have set that at lowest brightness and then auto. Im using battery saver as well. Im thinking about taking this to AT&T store tomorrow to see about battery or device replacement.
We shall see.

That is definitely abnormally high battery drain. I get less than 1.5% drain / hour when the phone is idle. So your drain seems to be more than 5 times higher!
It may be a misbehaving app.
BetterBatteryStats, is good because it gives you detailed info on what is consuming your battery.

This is what mine looks like

If you are in a building with pretty thick walls that could drain your battery also due to the phone using more power to acquire a signal. I work in a building that house a lot of servers and notice it uses more battery than when I'm not at work.

I see you're using slacker radio, most streaming services will eat battery up. If you click that what's the run time on it?

This i can agree with, when i visit my parents in the middle of nowhere my battery on any phone every has always died in 3 hours looking for a signal so this might be relevant if you're in a porr signal area.
If you're curious about where you sit for coverage try this app RF Signal Tracker - Play Store Link

Typical battery life. Auto brightness. Poor signal also and on wifi.

I'm having this problem too, I don't understand BBS but here's a screenshot of the screen.
I'm tired of this, how can a new and expensive cellphone's battery lasts like 8 hours without even really using it.

My drain was resolved. Android battery stats indicated the screen was draining the battery. BBS indicated my WIFI use was. But neither usage seemed too much.
A visit to the local AT&T store got me a new battery. Albeit some arm twisting occured trying to convince them of the hardware issue.
Yesterday, after overnight charge the previous night, I ended the day with a 72 % battery.
Did a quick charge to 100 percent this morning and my charge dropped 1% in 1 hour. With heavy usage, I sit currently at 72%.
Much better results and happier.

Battery Life Worry/Question

My battery life has been pretty good. However, the number one thing consistently using battery is "Android System". Is this normal? Thanks!

Same here. On all my other Android phones Screen is the top user.

U are using ips technology on the screen unlike amold that saamy used which kills the battery in hours in full brightness . As you could see that the iPhone has good batttery life because the 720p ips screen.

I've found that rebooting the phone after taking it off of charge, the battery life is awesome. There seem to be some wakelocks that kill the battery and for some reason, charging has something to do with it.

I don't know if this is why, but I heard the G2 has special screen technology that greatly reduces battery drain.

Those claiming that Android System > Screen for battery use on the G2...I'm coming from a Nexus 4 which is also IPS.

Yeah, somthing about 30% lower battery use or something like that. It's 6 hours since I took mine off the charger, must admit very moderate use, some toying, some photos, some mails and 1 phone call. but still, my phone is at 96% battery. My old S2 would be at 60% at this point.

I tried this and it worked. However, one instance is not proof I guess haha. I will experiment more tomorrow (namely, not rebooting after charging) and let you know what I find. I wonder what specifically about charging may cause wakelocks?

Over 48 hours of use, more than 50% battery left. 3,5 hours screen time. Android system worst offender with 35%, screen 2nd with 25%.

If you look at the programs listed under Android System, try uninstalling the ones that you would never use. This has seemed to help me. But to be honest it was kind of unnessary because the battery life is just crazy badass. In a few weeks or so when the devs have there way this phone is going to be epic.

It is two things, which by the way are great news.
A) LG's screen tech which doesn't refresh pixels when the images are static
and B) IPS
What we can't control is screen power consumption, but guess what? We can control android system consumption through kernels and roms. This means that we can *hopefully* expect EVEN BETTER! battery life since the screen is, for 80% of users, the main culprit for energy drain.

Just a quick note that flashing CleanROM on my ATT LG G2 basically took my battery life from <20% at the end of the workday to just under 80% at the end of the work day with increased use on the CleanROM install. Highly recommended.

Been off the charger since 6:50 this morning. Sitting here at work doing some texting, Words With Friends, and a test call for a co-worker...96% at 12:15pm. My Nexus would have been at 40% by now.

So is Android System different from Android OS?
I normally can squeeze out 15-22 hours since installing Snapdragon Battery Guru. Which has been working great until today.
Here's my situation today:
-100% charge at around 1230am. Light to moderate usage leaves me with
-77% between night before and waking up (only dropped like 2% overnight) at
-830, then i worked from 9 to 1230 so i didnt use my phone too much. But since ive been off work ive been using it more so im not too surprised about my low battery level currently.
But what concerns me is Android OS using half my battery! It says its been active for more than 4 hours and i dont understand where it comes from. Its way more than my screen usage even with a screen time of little over 3 hours.
Anyone know whats up with Android OS? It doesnt tell me what is running when i select it so im lost.
Also ive done many of the suggestions in this thread with positive results. Ive been monitoring my wakelocks and since doing some of the suggestions on here nlpcollector has actually gone down.

Just to benchmark .... I used the phone moderatley ..
I did.. a little over 50 hours of total on time
4.75 hours of on screen time,
2 hours of spotify with bluetooth for the entire time,
2 hours of MapMyRun with GPS running ..
then various text messaging and a couple phone calls
The only modifications i've made to the stop experiance is taking of google's location service for programs, but leaving GPS active .. and changing the screen to auto-brightness, baseline of 50%.
I came from the SGS2 ..... with 1 hour of on screen time and the other spotify and bluetooth .. i'd be around 10-20% after 8-10 hours !!!!!

Mines pretty awesome.

I'm not sure if my battery is defective or not. Right out of the box was around 75% and I drained it until it turned off then charged it to full.
Over the next few days at work it's on wifi and then on 3G/4G before /after work. I pull it from the charger at 7:30am and by 7pm its at 40%. Then on Friday night I unplugged it at 12am with 100% and woke up the next day with 80%. It's dropping like 1% about 10-15minutes. Would a factory reset fix the battery drain? or call for a replacement?

Battery Life Discussion

Please post all your battery life discussions, tips, tricks, habits, on screen times, etc here.

I hereby designate this the "Official" battery life discussion thread!

well when i picked it up it had 59 or 56% charge and went down to 8% in about oh 2 hours tops and this honestly had me a bit scared. When I put it on the charger I noticed plugged into my laptop or my truck usb port it took forever to charge and honestly would not charge fast enough if it was being used. When I put it on the charger it came with plugged into the wall it charged from 8%ish to 100% in easily 45 mins I let it charge over night and took it off the charger and its now been off for roughly 12 1/2 hours and down to about 56% battery life. So I am definitely satisfied with the battery life so far.
I do run ultimate juice defender and power saver mode. I tried out the ultimate power saver mode for a mere 15 seconds and quickly reverted back. Also I have weather set to auto update every 3 hours, email every 3 hours, facebook never, and anything else is at 6 hours.

To early to tell. Gotta give it a few days. But I can say that the phone seems to drop to the 50% mark easy, but then drops slower after that.
I'll post battery screen in a few days.

Here's a screenshot of my phone's battery life taken a couple of days ago. Highly impressive! Bear in mind mine is the Exynos Octa Core model.

Here's a screenshot of my phone's battery life taken a couple of days ago. Yes, I had the battery saving mode on but I was using the phone for large amount of time. Highly impressive! Bear in mind mine is the Exynos Octa Core model.

Charging mine to full right now and I will then let it run until it turns off then charge back up to full and see how it does.

Remember your number 1power consumer is your screen. Some tips I have
1 set the screen as low as you can and still see it
2 the more stuff you have on your homescreen the more the processor has to work to display it
3 if you can use art runtime do so, the davlic system is a just in time system witch means it only processes information as it gets it. The art runtime processes information ahead of time so in general terms it can process the same amount of information in a dynamic sense. The art runtime also will improve overall performance espically in games and intensive applications
4 keep as few processes and services running as possible
5 when able to use wifi do so. When using mobile data your phone constantly pings the towers near it. This constant process eats at the battery. By using wifi this cuts off your mobile data modules and dosent worry about data connections (except for your voice network, even using voip your voice system stays active, I guess its a tap left open for the phone companies)
Any other tips? I caint think of any
For rooted users
Undervolting always help. With the combined use of undervolting, using the art runtime, running an odexed rom, and using an interactive type scheduler and you can maintain decent performance (with decent hardware or better) and have great battery performance

Any update on battery life? GSM arena review updated battery endurance. Just want to get review from current users.

Going to run my battery to zero today and see how the results are. The software won't get an understanding of the battery capacity until it runs to zero to know exactly how much juice it has. Otherwise it is just guessing.

This is great very impressive battery life. I guess it will get better after few cycles.

not impressed…. so far.
I have had the phone since the 14th. I have had sporadic useage the first few days but yesterday I just decided to use the phone like I normally would. I got 14 hours BUT I had less than 3 hours screen time. That is horrid. I am reserving judgment until at least this sund. I will have had it at least a week and some days. I know the note 4 had an update immediately to addresses battery issues. I wonder will this happen for the edge. Will report back.
Note: I tried to attach battery screen shots but I get "invaid files". Dont know what thats about.

this has been my experience... i'll stick it on the charger it came with later. i was freaking out like.... "what's the deal here?"

So battery life is worse by a noticeable amount then the note 4? I have a note 4, thinking of getting the edge

So far mine seems to be about the same as my Note 2, with updates being done every hour (except weather updates to my gear watch, which is updated every half hour). So I am pretty happy with.

Poor Battery Life on my ZTE Axon 7.

I have very poor Battery Life on my new phone. Last night I factory reset the phone and at 11pm I fully charged the phone and left it in airplane mode. This morning it reported 58% by 7am this morning.
It's much worse in daytime light usage. It's flat after about 4hours.
I have noticed that the WiFi and AWAKE history graphs in battery section show WiFi always on and phone is always awake. Even when the WiFi is switched off it is always ON according to the graph. The phone is constantly warm all the time. I have contacted the UK supplier. Awaiting response.

I see no such option on the Axon 7.

This probably depends on phone manufacturer, try find menu or more in Wi-Fi options, most of Android 4/5 usually have this option, sorry I'm only potential buyer of A7

Sorry, ZTE Axon 7 doesn't have option "Scanning always available"(User Manual page 57), Older ZTE Axon it has (User Manual page 53).

There is an option to turn Wi-Fi off when asleep in the Wi-Fi advanced options menu. Might be worth trying.

Sounds like this is a settings issue, not zte or the phone.

This battery drain is obviously the result of a wakelock. Adjusting WiFi settings will not solve your problem.

Have you checked the 'fast battery drain apps' in power manager. Mines not liking Amazon music and the Android central app.

Download the Battery Monitor Widget App. It can monitor everything about your battery very accurately. Even your SOT stats.

Fully charged up my UK axon 7 phone this morning. I powered it up at 7.35am it was totally flat by 12midday. I had factory reset phone and not installed any apps. I only had data switched on via sim. GPS, WiFi and low power mode on. Used it very sparingly and it went flat.

I think that is an issue, however I am still not getting the battery life reviews have been getting....
The first few reviews talked about amazing battery life with SOT of 6+ hrs on this phone but in my opinion it is worse than the OnePlus 3 I used for a few days. Yesterday I got just under 4 hrs of screen on time, taking my phone off the charger at 6:30am and plugging it in at 11pm with about 4% battery left. I am using GSAM Battery Monitor and Phone Radio is taking a solid 37% of my battery, is that normal? The phone does show it has a weaker signal than any of my last phones in all familiar locations but I haven't actually noticed a difference in internet speed (actually getting 40mb pretty regularly) or call quality/reception. Today I am at 63% battery with the phone being unplugged 10 hrs 47 min and only 1hr and 16 minutes of SOT. No apps stand out as using a lot of the battery with App Usage being at 1%.

What those 6+ hrs SOT stories don't tell you is that they gimp the phone ie turn off most if not all background processes such as: location, push emails, anything that has a hook to the web.
I mean I can always get 5+hour turning off all my smartphone services and just having my screen on to flipping around looking at locally stored stuff.
An average best for me is usually going to bed with 4+ hrs of SOT by midnight. @15% remaining and that was before the wake lock I mentioned above.

Yeah I was right at 4 hours SOT at 1am with the phone unplugged since 6:30am that morning and still 22% battery left, that is fine for me. I had everything on, including GPS, Bluetooth and Wifi

How is 4 hours horrible? 4 to 5 hours is really good battery and is a standard for any flagship device.
I don't get people that want 6 hours of screen time. Don't y'all have anything to do through the day? Spending 6 hours a day staring at a screen cant be good for anyone.

I guess I got spoiled with battery life on my old Huawei mate 8 and other phones with amazing battery.

I've been getting over 5 hours SOT pretty consistently for the past week. The battery life is way more consistent than my Nexus 6p was, and seems to last noticeably longer. I also don't worry about topping up when I get home from work if I really need to (or if I watch YouTube for 3 hours after I get home) because of how fast it charges, even if you use while charging. I'm very pleased with battery life overall.
