Hello Forum users i have Samsung S5 SM-G900G octa core 1.30
Problem is when i charge it with DC 5.0V -2.0A
it charge's fast and battery life is approximately 12 h and even without working anything and WIFI & 3G off it drops so fast..
But when i charge it with DC 5.0V -1.0A (my s4 adapter) i have battery life 50% longer..
so can anyone tell me what is your battery life in your s5 octa core or snapdragon?
if you have this problem i recommend to use s4 adapter it charge's slow but you will have large battery life.
Sure it's not a placebo effect you're experiencing? How many cycles did you make?

I'm facing similar issues.although I didn't try charging it using 1 amp charger.
I'll suggest u to wait for at least 5-6 discharge cycles.
And let me assure u , the battery life of snapdragon version will be better than the octacore on any day. We cannot help it but accept and make our peace.

I think that must be quite obvious. Saw that on YouTube in a review
p.s. My battery life is improving. ☺

Interesting enough, unfortunate that the reviewer did not show any battery stats to compare.
The S4 Exynos as a reference from what I read was unfinished and didn't really use the full potential of the underlying architecture.
I would guess that A15 cores at full speed would consume more power than Krait's but would provide better performance.
Also it's interesting that he's using the Snapdragon display model which does not have calls or messages functionality enabled (G900X).

I came from a Z2 and that battery was really great. Not only was it a good size but Sony did a great job with optimisation.
From my experience so far the AM7 does well With the battery using it in normal battery mode which is recommended for games and movies. I don't want to use any other mode to reduce performance.
Let me know what you think. Overall I am happy with battery life but they could have optimised the phone better I think.
Here is an example of a heavy day use when I had the phone off charge at 10am and used the camera loads plus all the other stuff we all use.

Using both Sim slots! I charged up 2-3%. I forgot I was doing battery test, other than that, this was pretty heavy usage with LTE always on.
How come cpu z says my battery is on 3000mAh? is this the same with everyone? im only getting about 12 - 14 hrs mobile data on and about 2 to 3 hours gaming. most of my apps are just social and messaging i wonder if there is something wrong with my unit.

Battery
Phone off charge at 0530 this morning and its now 2307 !!!
I changes the battery mode to smart and it made the battery so much better and made NO difference in performance (from what I can notice) with films and camera.
39% left at 2309hrs after 18hrs !! That's insane.
I can barely reach 1 full day with my battery and Im wondering if its because of all the things running on my phone like I installed Nova Launcher and I have 2 desktop screens heavy with widgets plus my corporate mail is set to auto push my mail. What are your thoughts?

I use 2 emails on gmail. Stock launcher and high auto brightness. The phone gives you notifications what is draining. Post a PIC of battery page like below as that's not right. What model you have ?
thanks. i checked out the app but i cannot suspend my connection when my phone is off as i need to continue to receive message and be alerted anytime. also looking at the features of the app it looks like it is already available in the phone tools of this phone which is why i love it it already shows you a lot of info about apps that are heavy battery users and you can set it in a way where you can have them close and suspended when your phone is off .
What I have done so far is to remove my data manager which is being shown to be extensive battery user and also went back to emui suspending nova launcher (there are users saying its draining their battery) and HD widgets so far my battery lasts longer even with mobile data always on.
shame because i like nova launcher if it turned out to be too much of a battery hogger i may have to ditch it and try apex i can never get used to emui having no app drawer.

Ah this makes lots of sense. I was under the impression the 3gb model was just for the people in China and the 2gb model was for everyone else. I avoided the 3gb model as I was under the impression it would have radios specific for that country. Did your phone come with play store installed already or not ? I maybe totally wrong but this could be why your battery is draining so bad still ?? Let me know as interested.
Could you also download CPU z and take a screen shot of the battery section like I have below. The model I am using only shows 3000mah battery and am wondering if yours shows the same ?

Mine says 3000mAh as well. TL09 model.
it shows the same with me on CPU Z 3000mAh. probably the app is not reading it right. i think i was able to sort it out. took out power hungry apps and suspended apps that i dont need running on the background and i am able to get a day of charge at light to medium usage.
From what i know the gold version is offered outside china although some country doesnt have them. looking at my package the document actually says austrailia.

Mine was getting warm from the start. Thought it was lack of SIM, put that in and made some adjustments and its getting pretty darn hot... Am I alone on this?
When I first got it and put it on the fast charger and was playing with it. I noticed same thing it felt really warm even after i had it off the charger, but today I have not experienced the same. I have been using it pretty regularly but have not had it on the charger or played any games (at work) so I will report back once I do

Good to know I'm not alone. Good thing I got this at BB. If it's just a small percentage maybe I can just swap it out. It feels about 100 degrees + right now. So I'm using my tablet. I don't want to unlock bootloader until I know for sure.

Wanted to let everyone know it does cool down a lot after charging to 100%. You will receive it at about 35% and it gets hot fast. Idk why, even with SIM... It adjusts though and can't wait for a recovery to root!

I always wondered why my ear glowed the the dark after using my phone.
@Fantach read up on SARS levels on phones. It also makes the area of the body warm.
I plugged mine in with the Turbo charger when I got it (was at 43%) and did all the downloading and updating apps. It felt pretty hot, so I checked it with Gsam battery and it was 118 degrees. That's hotter than my M9 gets doing the same thing, but the M9 stays hot longer.
After it reached 100% (which was pretty fast), it cooled down pretty quick... It also didn't take too long to get back down to 70% (maybe 3 hours). Standby time is pretty good, but SOT seems to drain the battery pretty quick. But this is a new phone (basically a new ROM flash) and will settle in a few days and I expect to see better battery stats.

Heat is 100% fine. And Motorola Nexus 6 was a lot lower than iPhone.... Like myself and 2 other guys said. It's like the phone adjusts. It gets very hot AT FIRST, then it drastically cools down. Did an Antutu and it didn't even heat up. I swear, heat isn't an issue.

Thank you for your clarification, i feel much better now :victory:
Mine got hot today as well. It was downloading my apps. A little more past 100 apps from the Play Store. It's not a constant issue since I have been using the MXP
I've had this phone for 3 days and it has not calmed down. Still gets hot and this screen destroys battery time. It has nice standby but when the screen is a battery hog. The temps get high with any real usage. My Nexus 6 has been much better with temps and battery. Wondering if it's a bad faulty batch or if this is the processor/screen.
It's a shame because this phone is a dream besides all that. But I am suspect to keeping this with the overheat and battery drain.

Could you try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yanyan.cputemp and inform us about your cpu and battery temperature when it gets hot on regular usage (no gaming).
I encourage others to do the same so we could see what are we dealing with, thank you :fingers-crossed:

If both models are available to me for the same price, which is the better choice?
Apart from the dual sim feature, does one have any advantage over the other (root, update timing, battery life, cpu usage, case availability, etc)?
Root is available for both models, update may be available slightly sooner to single sim, battery is also better, but marginally, no case difference. So, it only comes to a single point, do you need a phone with 2 sims, if not go for single sim variant...

Single Sim is Quick Charge compatible and and If you get Quick Charger bundled with phone, it will charge 0 to 100% in 2 hours.
Dual Sim is not supporting Quick Charge, it will take 4 hour to charge 0 to 100%
There is no other differences.

Why do you dislike the phone more and more only because yours doesn't support quick charge? Unless you have encountered other problems with it. But, you could get a navigation system, or?

because compared to my z2 its a lot more hassle. I can't even charge it fast enough without it dying cause the cpu governor or screwed up. It gets really hot yet its slow. And for the fact it doesn't support quick charge for no apparent reason. I mean the hardware is close to identical to the single sim and yet its worse off.
I mean come on I hardly go a day on this. My z2 would sometimes go 2.5

C'mon , it's not that bad... I had Z2 too, and battery is indeed worse, but not twice worse... My usual SOT is 4.5h (full battery usage) and I usually end my day with battery at around 30℅. OK, with Z2, it was 50℅ , but nevertheless...
Regarding heating up, I don't have these issues, but I don't play games, or record 4K videos, if you do, that it's expected...

I regret bying this phone ine the first place... But the single sim is probably better with the quick charge 2.0 and less battery drain.
The single sim does as well have a lot more developers, since more people own a single sim than a dual sim.
In my case, stay away from the phone, but I'f you really want it, get the single sim!!
Hello all
I just found those photos somewhere. I wanted to share them with you.They're all in the zip.

The lower number is the minimum guaranteed and the bigger number is the typical.
Most of the time this is explained on the battery with both numbers shown.
