Hello everyone,
I just bought Samsung Galaxy S4 three months ago, everything was working fine, but suddenly the phone switched off at 53% and when I switched it on again it said 0% and kept rebooting. After removing the battery and putting it again, it became around 30% - 40% and 5min later, it switched off again. The battery became a bit fat than normal, not straight anymore.
I already read some topics about this problem, and the solution was buying a new one. Now the question is, what were the problems that made the battery goes bad like this? I've some suggestions which might be the cause of the problem but don't know if they are right, but I'm going to share them anyway and I hope someone could help and tells us the real thing that caused the problem so we can all avoid it from happening again.
Suggestions are:
1. Charging the phone a lot of time even after reaching 100% (Fully charged icon).
2. Charging the phone with a car charger.
3. Charging the phone with a non original charger.
4. Using the phone while charging it.
Thanks in advance, I'll really appreciate your help.
My friend had the same problem, You need to buy a new battery
Thanks for your reply. but i wanted to know the real reasons that caused the problem and made the battery to be fat.
it seems there was a batch of defective batteries made by samsung . some people have suggested that Samsung changed the battery for free since they had their warranty ; other were less lucky. there is a thread in the general forum about this issue

Thanks difyel a lot. Is there any precautions I can take to avoid this from happening again? Or at least knowing the non defective batteries before getting it from Samsung?
I had a similar issue, sent mine in for repair no idea what they fixed but it was solved. Anyway I've since bought the Anker stock battery and that's been excellent for me.

Thanks nikzDHD for your reply.
Did they tell you that they've fixed it? Because as I knew, swollen batteries can't be fixed and they've to replace it for you. Which Anker one did you buy and how much does it cost?
Thanks a lot for your answer again.
it seems that batteries with batch id starting with bd are the culprit . you can check bob's battery guide thread for tips to make your battery last longer and where your battery juice is spent :

Well that's true, I just checked mine and yeah it started with BD. Thanks a lot mate, that was useful.. gonna tell Samsung to get me one that isn't starting with BD, and thanks for this amazing guide.
Last question, do you know any other famous problems like the battery one?
to be honnest i didn't face any issues with my s4 . The only things that i hold against Samsung are regional locking and knox . But there is a thread discussing major problems with s4 you can find it here

Coming from Playbook and old user of SGS the battery life is not good at all down 40% with 2.3 hours of internet any thoughts or is it 4.4.2 ?
Custom kernel ?
What does Battery Use say? You might have something else running.
You wouldn't happen to be viewing Flash, would you? I tried that once on CBS' site, and the resulting software rendering was a huge battery drain.
Are those Battery Saving Apps worth or just another drainer ? Don't see anything drastic in usage as its used by OS.

A lot of people (including me) are very satisfied with battery performance. Just so you know, you need a few charges to get a full potential from the battery.

I've had some issues since 4.4.2 too, and I'm no newbie to Android. I was disabling location in the quick settings and found that whenever I did that Google Search would keep the phone from sleeping. Please update with anything you find is causing your battery problem. As mentioned, these devices can give good battery life!
I don't play games on mine but I get between 10 and 13 hours screen on time every charge. Most of my time is on the internet with 3 emails syncing every 30 minutes and WiFi on all the time. I charge it every second night.
Rooting and installing a new custom ROM will help with battery life. I noticed on 4.3, the media server bug was present. I had to disable the media server scan. That helped a ton with battery. For 4.4.2 i use purity ROM. In on 2 days one charge with 49% left. You need to charge the battery a few times also as mentioned

Thanks but does this ROM enhances battery life or worsens ? Also what do you mean by Linaro ? Should i go 4.4.2 or 4.2 as per there post ?
4.4 2 introduced a bunch of security enhancements in light of NSA revelations. I cannot say how much better this ROM is compared to current stock because I haven't used stock for some time. That said, the dev is a very talented one and the rom is popular in a way a battery sucker wouldn't be. The rom contains enhancements over the stock version such as proprietary bionic/dalvic enhancements from Qualcomm that Google couldn't legally include, due to licence issues.
The main factor is in the kernel and the options it gives you. You can disable things like S2W, DT2W, magnet wake thingy, etc. You can also specify the maximum processing power when your Nexus' screen is off/on. Etc, etc.
At a certain point you're just going to have to see for yourself. The fact is that you don't like your current battery performance, so maybe just take the dive and try for yourself?
I will say your questions have been asked and answered a million times before. My earlier reply was the best I could do for you, my friend. For my part, I'm afraid you're going to have to do what everyone before you has done in order to learn more: ask Google before asking anybody else.
For example, regarding your Linaro question:
Try searching 'Android Linaro'
Question about bionic or dalvic? Try the same thing, maybe you'll have to adjust your search to include 'Qualcomm' (the brand of processor in our device).
If it's frustrating not having all the answers at your fingertips then celebrate! It's that frustration that will motivate you to find your answers.
For now, though, maybe start reading up on the links I gave you. There are ways to return to stock if you feel you need to (you'll also need to do your own reading on that).

Arguably, all the business of unlocking, rooting, flashing, etc. is probably easier on Nexus devices than it is or has been on 99% of contemporary or former Android devices. So, you're in pretty good shape off the bat=)

The kernel is the most important when it comes to battery life because it Controls cpu and kernel and io operations.
I recommend using elementalx kernel because it has deepsleep state which will allow your device to save the most battery when you're not using it. I'm sure there are others but that's what I use.
The largest battery drain during use is the screen, so keep your screen at a minimum whenever you are using it if you're concerned about battery.
Another thing you can do to improve battery is undervolt. However you will only experience minimal benefit because you can only undervolt so much before your device is unstable. I don't recommend undervolting for newbies.
Another thing that can improve battery life is multicore power saving, a setting that is enabled with a custom kernel such as elementalx.
Another thing that I've heard that CAN help battery life is using Art, instead of dalvik cache. This is highly debatable, but some have reported improved battery life. I use art but mostly for the improved performance and load times, rather than the battery life.
Of course you should turn off anything you don't use, blue tooth, nfc, GPS, etc.. To help better manage this automatically you can use an app called profile scheduler.
-Wizzle
Wizzle, I've heard ART isn't stable with apps that haven't been retrofitted to ruin with it. Is that your experience?
---------- Post added at 11:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 PM ----------
Incidentally, there's a new 'Glitch' kernel released today. Just checked and it also goes into deep sleep. You may want to check it out... it, too, uses the Aroma installer and seems to offer a few more degrees of customization. Just make sure you snag the right one as there are a few different builds depending on your rom source.
Which rom do you use?
I have installed the .AOSP Kangs][DJL4.4] ROM last night due to some reason some apps are closing on it. Will try out the new kernel.
Yeah, I have the same ROM and have used both ElementalX & now the latest Glitch kernel. Odd you're having force close issues, tho. Pretty sure that isn't something many others are experiencing. Do you run other mods? Is SuperSU working okay?

I'm on cm11. I've tried glitch, but not the latest. Most of the customizations glitch offers is basically more overclocking and undercoating, I prefer stock values for stability, I've over clocked before just to see how fast I could actually get my Nexus to work, but of course you don't get the best battery life..
I've had 100% success with art. It has not been unstable one bit. It's definitely faster and I don't have to overclock which saves battery.
One word of caution! If you sideload apps, sometimes they will no longer install once you enable art. Oddly enough if they were installed before art was enabled, it works fine! (hehe at least that's my experience)
Another word of caution, once I've enabled art, I was not able to go back to dalvik unless I deleted all my data and reinstalled apps from scratch.. I recommend doing a nandroid backup before you enable art, just so you have data that is dalvik..
-Wizzle
My battery life is like what most people are saying, over 10 hours of use doing various things... other than 3D games with hour+ play sessions. Basically if I'm playing something like GTAIII or Final Fantasy III, battery life will go down considerably faster, but not devastatingly so, probably like 50% faster, and only while playing.
Here are some things that will dramatically help your battery life, assuming it isn't defective or something:
Having the brightness on auto or generally very low will help a lot. If you look at battery usage in Settings, you'll see that the screen usually eats more than half of your battery at all times.
Keeping GPS/Bluetooth/Wifi off when they aren't needed.
Closing background apps.
Turning the screen time-out down, which can be found at Settings>Display>Sleep. The Nexus 7 '13 has a pretty average battery, but one of its best qualities is how it barely loses any power when it's on standby.
Don't use live wallpapers or turn their quality settings down.
I'm using CleanROM which is just a stable, prerooted, more optimized stock AOSP rom and keeps up to date very quickly. My battery/performance is loads better than it was on stock. I couldn't recommend the rom more, especially after installing Xposed Framework and the GravityBox module, which allows you to to have many CM/PA features without much effort.
I get 10+ hours with WiFi and location on all the time. I do keep the brightness down a bit. If you're getting half that, something is wrong.

Can't run Benchmark on latest version
Good day folks,
Ever since I installed this kernel I cant run a Antutu Benchmark to completion. My screen goes blank and I cant restart without doing a battery pull. The freeze happens after the graphic test (at the end of the ships in the water) and is totally unresponsive. I'm on the latest version with the 667 all covers option selected.
Just reporting, it may be of interest to some.
Cheers.

Antutu related with many things not only kernel,try to reinstall your rom,then flash my new kernel 2.0,should be fine,I think.

Dear @pekaka, this is a noob question, I enumerated the op, what's the difference between 1 and 3 and 2 and 4 regarding maxlock the other thing are self-explanatory, would please explain... By the way I am using kernel adiutor, do you recommend to administrate your kernel?
CM 12
does this kernel support cm 12 and what would be best for powersave 600 or 667 ?

Well it works now. Only thing my benchmark is 42275 which is 8th place. I'm on Dr. Ketan l21 and no powersave, also on 667 stock cover. Is this a normal benchmark. It ranked at around 3rd on your first kernel with a score of 44885. Is this normal?
Works with stock Lollipop?
This is the first time I'll flash a kernel, so this will be a dumb question for many of the commenters but... Will this kernel work with my stock Lollipop version? Or will it only work with a specific ROM?

Hey!
I got my stock OP5 updated into Android Pie last January 26, 2019. After receiving the update and updating it, I seem to notice that the battery drains faster. Anyone experiencing similar?
I honestly haven't but I ended up doing a full wipe attempting to fix a problem that was actually hardware related. Have you tried clearing all cache in recovery?
Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk
No, not yet. Also, I can't do it right now since I have lot of files and important apps. I will let you know if I do it.
Here is an update on my battery status.
When you get the chance, I suggest you do a backup and do a full wipe. Stuff like this is rather common when you do a upgrade of the OS and this is why everyone here recommend a clean install when it comes to major updates.

Clearing just the cache (not data) won't lose any of your files. I don't think you lose anything really if I remember right. It may not fix the problem but it can't hurt to try. It should probably be done every now and then anyway.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Haven't really tried your suggestions yet since I am really busy these days.
Here is an update. My status is improving.
What happened was my battery was totally drained, 0 and off.l, when I woke up. Then, I charged it to 100 then turned it on. After that, my battery became tolerable.

It's just about to open the app ,activate it ,go down and choose which apps you won't put on sleep like Gmail/ WhatsApp/ messenger or whatever you need always up. All the other processes will be putted to sleep. Francisco Franco is the king of this things . Don't need to be rooted. You can have a Go. Today after use it a lot,I still 33% left. Hope it's help as the op5 is still a so great phone but for business they need to put it down.
Battery drain after pie update
Hi I'm currently using oneplus 5. I'm facing battery drain issue. When i charge my phone to 100 percent it starts. Draining first 8 percent very quickly. Almost in 10 mins. And after that it works normally. I'm getting just 5-5:30 hrs of sot with moderate usage. Its quite frustrating. Kindly someone help me with this. I've cleared my cache but no luck with it.

If you are rooted. Install better battery stats and upload your summary, kernel wakelock, partial wakelock and alarms here. Do remember to keep better battery stats unoptimsed.
No I'm not. I'm on stock pie. Now what to do?

Under location. Find scanning and disable wifi and Bluetooth scanning if you haven't done that already. Disable Bluetooth, NFC, hotspot, location when you are not using them.

Look at these steps too. Do those if you can find them. Some may not be available maybe related to old android version
