Hi all, I want to buy this device and want to know how is battery life compared to i9505?
I know it basically depends on average user, but higher CPU frequency makes me think battery could be worse then its little brother.
Also want to know if there`s any overheating issues
Thanks in advance!

I just got new S4 in black and i am loving it. I really feel for the first time that iphone has a real competition now, as the user experienced is very much improved.
Any how we all know S4 is the best, but it is very bad with battery time. I previously had a note2 device you and it usually last more than 2 days on my average use (despite of its much bigger screen size). To make S4 last longer i have turned off every extra feature (i.e air view, smart scroll and all such stuff) but still battery is draining very fast. So this is what i wanted to know...
WHICH IS THE BEST KERNEL THAT CAN HELP IN BOOSTING THE BATTERY TIME OF S4?
when i had a S2 i used Siyah, and it almost doubled my battery time, 2 days even with data on. It was crazy. I am expecting something similar. Please guide me.
And thank you all in advance
what version do you have 505 or 500

Hello friends,
I use my phone for primarily for 30 min calls & 30 min browsing per day.
I have seen lot of reviews on net including XDA and it seems that i9505 has marginally better battery life than i9500 on stock ROM.
How does battery life compare on Custom ROM's. ?
If i exclude CPU performance, gaming, graphics, benchmarks & LTE, which of the two devices would have considerably better battery life considering my usage above.
Please give your feedback ...

please pour in your views ... thanks in advance.
I9500 has 2 quadcore processors one more powerful nd one less powerful nd more power efficient so when u do light tasks like browsing or calling more power efficient one is working while in i9505 its a power hungry processor working everytime so you may get better battery life on i9500
If you like putting custom roms and experimenting new root apps features. then I would highly recommend you i9505. If you are never going to put custom rom and i9500 is cheaper than i9505 at your place then only you should get i9500.
I have never compared custom rom battery life with stock rom battery life. but I can tell you that there is a difference.. Custom roms provide better battery life than stock roms. because stock roms have so much bloatware apps installed which are always running and sucking battery juice. Also there is an app special for snapdragon powered devices called Snapdragon™ BatteryGuru. I have never used it. but it has some good reviews. It can be useful.
I am a i9500 owner and I hate this phone so much. because it has no good custom roms like cyanogen,pacman,paranoid,aokp,aosp etc. because samsung has made exynos chip source code closedsource.
I dont think there will be much difference in terms of app performance. Both can run apps equally smooth and good.
Btw why dont you get nexus 5 32gb? I guess both s4 and nexus 5 has same price tag. In terms of performance nexus 5 is far better than s4.
Hey there!!
I want to ask you guys what best battery life results you get and which Roms+Kernels you are using?!
I'm testing around at the moment. Right now I'm on CM11 4.4.3 with KT-Kernel, but I guess theres a better solution for my battery life.
Btw: I'm using Viper4Android on High Audio with much settings a lot, that might cause the hardcore drain, but still im looking for something to make it a bit less
Thanks in advance guys!!!

Exactly what the title says. I've been looking here and there for some ROMs that I would like to flash and I found quite a number of them to try out. However I want to hear from the experts who have been flashing custom ROMs all the time. What would you say would be the best ROM on battery life? I am currently running Hyperdrive RLS21 and I'll say it does decent on the battery life albeit the standby time can improve (I lose around 10% in a night if I leave it 100% uncharged).

First off battery life is subjective and usually has very little to do with the ROM. It is the kernel and settings which usually have most affect on battery life amongst the same user. This is not something you can compare from user to user but must be compared by the same user under the same conditions.
Let me give you some examples..a heavy gamer will get vastly different battery life from a heavy phone/text user. A person in low signal areas that has many apps synching will get horrible battery life compared to someone who has very little apps or great signal. I think you get the idea.
Kernel settings such as governor/scheduler/OC/UC choices will vastly affect your battery life. You really either need to compare ROMs yourself, or find someone that has compared ROMs under the same situation and similar use as you to get any useful data. I see that you asked for opinions from those flashing many ROMs. Other factors can affect that too...were they all clean flashed? Were any adjustments made?
Hope this helps! And hope you find the perfect ROM for you! Happy Flashing!

Problem is that I'm on a locked bootloader (ATT variant) so it's only natural that I should ask for a ROM that could give the best battery life since I can't flash any kernels
I'm no expert but I've been flashing ROMs for my S2, now my s4 for last 3 years. I've found recently that Tesla has the best battery life, 4% drain over 8 hrs at night. Best ever
Hi everyone.
Thinking of getting either the international version of the S4 or the OnePlus One.
Will save some bucks if I get the S4.
With a new battery and MM custom ROM (are there stable ones?) I was thinking this might be a good device.
Or as owners would U say I should add a few $ and opt for the OPO?
Thanks a million!
don't know the battery size of oneplus but the s4 benefits from carrying a spare or using a high capacity battery. opo has a much better CPU. always go newer for me...

Thanks for that input. The OPO has a 3,000 mhA battery and since I am a light user, lasts me 2 days (running stock CM 13 MM).
I guess battery wise the S4 would be a downgrade then. Carrying an extra battery is not an option for me as I will lose it within a week
it's hard to judge but if you're getting two days usage out of 3000mAh then you should be OK with 2600mAh to get back to a charger again. roms with alucard's kernel can be underclocked and or undervolted as well as being run on a power saving profile. that said I'm sure opo has similar options available...
You can also get a 3000mAh battery for the S4.
That being said, it really depends on how high the price difference is.
I personally would go for the OPO, because of the better specs. But I dislike the fact that it has no card slot. This is pretty much a deal-breaker for me.
