so i just lost my s4 mini frustrating i know but any way
i have got some money on me and i actually owned a i9505 before
long story short here is my question i didnot like the overheating and the battery drain on the i9505
so i wanna know which version to get i9500 , i9505, i9506
i dont care about performance since they are really near in that field
i dont care about lte since my country doesnot have it
all i care about is the dev community , good battery life , and no OVERHEATING with regular usage
note* if any body knows a better phone than the s4 in the same price rannge i would be glad to hear it
Get an i9505.. All devs have this device

well back in the time i had the i9505 the deb community was really slow so are u sure
As having both, i9505 and i9506 I have to say take i9506 now, just because @arter97 made fully working CM 11 port from Note 3 to it, and he also port many other Rom's and really good kernel and governor.
If you want all possible different roms working then take i9505, but for speed and long lasting battery consider i9506.
My i9506 LTE-A running on CM/arter97 kernel:

so is the battery life all that better ?
and what about the over heating
Decent battery drain, there was Bluetooth on 7-8h connected to car, over 1h speaking thru that Bluetooth, lot of surfing.
No any kind overheating, just keeps going like small Duracell bunny.

Running siyah kernel with cricklerom
Fantastic
show me your screen on time pls. i can do that with stock battery too with low use. 37% doesnt look like you touched your phone much..
that's pretty bad. I can go as long as 3 days with stock battery
That is indeed easily done with a stock battery and stock Samsung or CM7 rom and with moderate use.
Would help if you actually used your phone, anyone can get double that on standby on a normal battery
Besides, shouldn't this topic been placed in the Accessories sub-forums?
blimey and i thought that was good. Onoly get aboout 24hrs with the stock battery....ok i'll crawl back into my hole....

You don't have to do that but people here are much more interested in how much life you get with heavy (screen on) usage, me included. How much was it, if you dont mind me asking?
im not a heavey user, but with medium useage, 15+ downloads, surfing the net on and off through out the day, emails through out the day, f/b updating and numerous texting and a few calls.....i suppose for my normal use on stock battery i got just over 24hrs use so the extra 300Mah is more than welcome. Plus i can slip the original stock battery in my pocket when i go out just incase i need extra umph. Oh well im happy with it...please move to accessories if i have posted in wrong forum..infact MODS if you want to delete this thread then please be my guest....
OK... realistically though, screen on time is the real indicator, along with usage patterns (were you web browsing, gaming? what games? how bright was the screen etc). Screen on time can be found out by Settings > About Phone > Battery Usage > Display = Time on (just in case you weren't aware).
How much did the battery cost?
Oh... and what theme are you using (I'm liking those icons at the top).
besides the screen on time you should also consider the data volume transfered via radio, that kills my battery even faster than the screen although i'm living in a big city with solid coverage...
There is already a big thread on the OEM 2000mah battery.

Hahaha, your signature made me laugh, thx
I don't need fancy features. Are there any specific ROMs that are created to improve the power efficiency. Thanks.

Yes, Aosp. Appears sense was created to eat your batter for some reason. Though, you will have to mess with the settings until they are right for you. I would go with an aosp rom.
The rom that bricks your phone that saves battery right... Haha na man try decks 1.3
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
for me, I get the best life from MIUI and ICS Deck
I love aosp roms, but they all have a flaw in the bluetooth stack that causes stereo audio streams to cut out in noisy (wifi, bluetooth) environments. I've tested almost all the sense-base roms, and I'm running Smooth 'N Sexy with Freedom kernel and a 3500mah battery, which gets (medium-heavy usage) me about 10 hours with all the radios on (even 4g) or 20 hours with wifi and 4g turned off.
i have used CM 7.1 and while on Wifi i get awesome battery life... all day
on 3G, i can get up to 3pm before i wanna re charge.. (40%)
right now using ICS from Jared the great and will see how it works...
I agree with everyone that aosp gets better life than sense, however, if u want a sense rom to try I would recommend classic. I've flashed em all and that underclocked is about as good as sense gets imho. If u take everyone's advice and go aosp try tiamat 3.3.7, seems to be very gentle on the juice.
If you really want battery I say go with aosp but if your like me, a sense fanboy then go with team nocturnal's shooter nighty 1.0
It has the best battery life sense can give you

Perhaps its just me but I've always thought that the kernel had a bigger impact on battery life than the ROM. Either way, its worth trying different kernels and evaluating results.
Hello there!
I recently switched from a Neo (with 4.0.2.A.0.62) to an Arc S with the exact same firmware. Both had about the same amount of apps installed.
I am very unhappy with the battery drain on my Arc S. It is ENORMOUS compared to my Neo... Even with heavy use and a lot of music listening my battery would easily last a day. With my Arc S the battery drains extremely fast, even while just listening to music.
Do these amounts look normal to you guys? This is just while listening to music directly after a reboot, WiFi disabled, HSPA only (full sync).
At the time of the screenshots it was at 56%.

Looks to me like you are in a Realy bad signal area. that wont be helping.
Iridaki has made a tutorial to find out what is using battery. and to diagnose apps that are causing drain ect.
get it here.
also in future Q's go in Q&A not general (Who would have known )
Pvy.
WCDMA + Data enabled + Listening to music + Weak signal = Battery drain
Are you completely stock?

Well yes and no. Low signal has a huge affect especially with data. As the phone had to try so hard to maintain the link.
There are SO many factors to take in
Be sure to read iridaki's guide to make sure that nothing out of the ordinary is draining your batt.
I am runing a heavily modified stock. All my own mods using our TEAM sources ECT.

On a full charge with no wifi, no sync, lowest brightness, no gps etc I'm getting roughly 1 to 2 hours of talk time and maybe a total of 4 to 5 hours battery life with the screen off. I pretty much have to travel everywhere with a charger and its starting to drive me nuts.
Is it worth it to switch to another distro ? Anyone else having this issue ?
Are you on the latest version? I'm using version 2.3 and it lasts more than 24 hours on a single charge.
I guess you have to replace your battery, mate
wow ... 24 hours :-.
Can you post your statistics ?

These numbers are off btw due to the constant charging every few hours.

What kind of drain are you getting in terms of mA? Download current widget and check this. It should be 4 or 5 mA in standby.
Sent from my NexusHD2 using XDA
Do u use any app2sd script? in 2.0 some people got an extremly high battery drain, because of app2sd (~50-70mA on Standby). Maybe try to reflash u're rom without any app2sd and check the drain again.
Sorry for the late reply, guys. I've been busy lately. Well, here is a screenshot of my HD2 after a day of moderate use running TyTung's NexusHD2 ICS v2.3

Hmm looks fine, i think you need to get a new battery?
Hi,
I have the Galaxy S4 I9500 (Israeli version) and been having battery issues since the upgrade (a year ago? for Android 5).
So I tried a few ROMs: the stock Rom of 4.4.2, Ozcan, Phoenix,
now i have the ResurrectionRemix with Android 5.1.1 , but still not getting more than 6 hours of average use (no games, no videos, just avergae apps use: Whatsapp, Facebook, Grindr, Instagram, Snapchat - nothing that justifies a charger after 6 hours).
I'm attaching my battery info pics, seems like the kernel is the main battery drainer, but i'm not sure if i need another ROM or a kernel and which one?
Pics in this link: jalbum.net/en/browse/user/album/1745248 (or below...)
Please help me, i just want the maximum battery life, i don't care about looks, cool stuff or anything, just best battery i can get.
thank you.

It's kinda hard to decipher anything when everything is in your language.
Anyway, this sounds a lot like the battery itself has a problem. I suggest trying another battery.
It's impossible that 3 completely different ROMs have the same issue.
And that the problems started with android 5 is just a coincidence.

Thank you, but i have another battery, the same problems... maybe these ROMs are not that good, which ROM is the best?

There is no best. This is subjective, as every person has other opinions and needs.
And what does average use mean?
as i wrote... average use (no games, no videos, just avergae apps use: Whatsapp, Facebook, Grindr, Instagram, Snapchat - nothing that justifies a charger after 6 hours).
Do you know what are the best ROMs i should try?
thank you.
