Voice calls uses a lot of battery - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone is SM-G900H (Exynos Variant)
Today I made a 1hour call over Bluetooth headset and I noticed that this took more battery than the whole things including the screen during the day.
Why is voice call could even possibly eat up battery like that?

3 hour 22 min screen on time at 43% battery - you are getting way better battery life many users. Doesn't seem to be any battery issues with your phone.

The only battery related disadvantage of the G900H, the modem seems to use more power compared to the Qualcomm version.
As the above post mentioned, your battery life is still good, mostly thanks to the A7 cores that use less power in the lighter tasks.

Battery life between xt1032 & xt1038

Hello everyone, so I had some problems with my Xt1032 and took it back to Argos...they offered to replace and I asked if I could change it for the 4G model since its the same price. They accepted. But the thing is my battery is better on my XT1039 than my 1032 was...which is odd.
I haven't even conditioned the battery yet and I'm getting 5-6 hours screen time with battery life lasting between a day and a day and a half.
My most recent battery life is shown below

So I don't know if anyone else has noticed this but it would be interesting to see..
Also I am using the XDA app which I find horrible. Sorry if this is posted in the incorrect place.
There is a thread dedicated to that already...

I've posted on that I mean has anyone had any replacement devices and noticed a large difference.
Oh and the search feature on the mobile app is terrible. Gonna install Tapatalk later...

Radio shows as off+battery frain

So I have been having battery issues on my Note 3 for a while now. Android system has been a large offender of using my battery, but I've also noticed that there are gaps in my mobile network signal. From this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26891039&postcount=14 I'm gathering that my radio is off? This happens when screen is on, but mostly when it's off. During these times I can get texts, and everything works fine. Just my battery starts to drain faster. The area under my camera also gets rather hot. This is my 2nd Note 3 with this issue, the first one was RMAed because it would not get messages on time.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
Running Jasmine ROM 2.4.1.

I believe with your radio off you should drain less battery. Mine does it too, and I have awesome battery life without being rooted. Usually well over 24 hours with heavy use, and 6 hours or more on screen time. I recently did a factory reset so maybe that's what you need for better life?

What drains the battery (phone is not in deep sleep)

Something uses the cpu at 400MHz so many hours.
How do I know what exactly.
I noticed that every phone discussion has a topic about battery saving tips.
Is there a thread with Note 4 tips?
Thanks!!!

I've noticed that the 'indexing service' is the culprit for battery drain on my Note 4. Just got it a few days ago. Any advice how to stop this without having to root?

[Q]Battery life S4 Goldeneye 49.2 [TW]

Hi XDA users,
I've got this.. kind for like a problem I guess? I'm on 4.4.2 TW Custom Rom (Goldeneye 49.2?).
I never use 3G/LTE/Data, only wifi. The phone isn't even used all day long (~4 hours screen on time). And brightness is not high but low, because I want to save battery.

check your wakelocks
and if you are gonna post them, could you make them a LOT smaller
There is nothing wrong with your phone. 4 hours screen on time is the maximum you will get out of your phone. It's perfectly normal.
Allright thanks. This disappoints me just a little, but I guess it'll do.
Btw nothing unusual with my wakelocks.
Any place I can get bigger battery's? But not those bulky ones that require another back cover..

This is always my secret to extra long battery life. Purchase it from the Play Store
Android (5.1.1) doesn't need loads and loads of CPU power to function buttery smooth.
Lower the CPU clock speed, that way you'll be using less CPU power which will in turn save you battery life.
