On the stock ROM on my Samsung Galaxy S4 19505, there was an option to which saved power that was called "Power Saver" that you could find in the quick setting switch bar after rolling down the notification bar. I had recently installed the Pacman 4.4.4 Black Power Edition custom ROM on my S4 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2400387). I soon found out that I need my battery life extended, if there is any way I can achieve this again with even better power saving that would he fantastic.

I will be soon be going to a festival for a few days and will be taking my Samsung Galaxy S4 (i9505) and would like the battery to last as long as possible. Does anybody have any suggestions of roms, or tweaks so I can get the most of of my battery life.
I will be performing a clean install of the rom and will be disabling unneeded apps and services such as sync and internet but wondered if there is anything else i can do

Ultra Power Saving Mode from Galaxy S5. You'll have battery maybe 9days
Sorry i forgot to mention I'm running cm11 atm, so that mod won't work.. I was looking at portable power packs but noticed they can only charge my phone 2/3 times unless i spend alot of ££.. I have just bought two spare batteries which may charge up and take for £2.40 each
best option for festivals is to buy some old old nokias. battery lasts for days on those things and plus no one wants to steal them!
but if you have to take your sparkly new S4 then you could try putting it into airplane mode whenever you're not using it and turn airplane mode off only if you get separated from your group? you probably won't get a great reception in the middle of a field anyway, which is one of the biggest battery drainers when it's constantly searching for a signal.
::EDIT::
also, don't forget to disable sync settings and location settings too.

What battery saver did was: Reduce the performance, set the screen brightness lower than possible and reduce background data activity.
You can do all this manually with apps.
Did you check the battery tab? Maybe it has the battery saver feature somewhere.
Hey guys,
Something weird happened to my phone and I couldn't find any mentioning for it online, maybe you will know.
After using Samsung's battery saver mode, where only some apps are active - all of the apps stayed turned off even when the I switched off the battery saver mode.
No matter what I did I wasn't able to switch all apps back on. (screenshot attached)
Any ideas what to do?
It's Samsung Galaxy s5 Android 5.0 TouchWiz not rooted.
Thanks!
So I got this s5 a few days ago from my friend...moment I got it I noticed that it overheats a lot,for example 5 minutes of browsing and the cpu temp would go up to 70 degrees celsiu,also the screen got really hot.Yesterday I also noticed that the screen has a burn in,which is common for amoled,but then I thought that maybe battery is causing all my problems. Tried to charge it with original sammy 3.0 charger,it goes to 100% but never shows the green led and batt full sign.When I restart the phone batt goes to like 95-94%. So what do you people think?

How to Fix Bad Galaxy S5 Battery Life:
1. Find Apps Eating Up Your Battery
2. Disable Unnecessary Services
3. Restart the Samsung Galaxy S5
If you start noticing weird battery drain and or your device starts heating up, you should try performing a reset to see if that returns things to normal. Most of you know how to restart the Galaxy S5 but we’ll remind you anyway. Hold down the power button, confirm that you want to turn it off, and then hold the power button down to turn it back on.
4. Start Using a Black Wallpaper
There are tons of them out there. After you’ve downloaded one, go to Settings -> Wallpaper -> Home and Lock Screens -> More Images -> set your black Galaxy S5 wallpaper.
5. Start Using the Device’s Built-in Features
You’ll also want to start using the Galaxy S5’s built-in battery saving features. Power Saving Mode is a good place to start, and Ultra Power Saving mode is an even better option when you need the Galaxy S5 battery to last longer than normal.
These features allow you to block background data and turn on grayscale mode which can help to limit the amount of juice being sucked up. You can also slow down the processor, reduce screen performance, turn off the lights on the buttons, and turn off GPS to save battery life.
We also recommend getting familiar with the the brightness slider. The screen can suck up a ton of battery life so you’ll want to monitor the brightness of the screen if you’re starting to notice bad Galaxy S5 battery life.
6. Replace Your Launcher
If none of these fixes work, there are three other drastic solutions to try. The first is to replace the TouchWiz launcher on the Galaxy S5. The TouchWiz launcher has been known to hinder performance and it can be replaced. There are tons of different launches to choose from though the Nova Launcher is one of Android’s most popular choices.
7. Downgrade to Android 4.4 KitKat
If that doesn’t work, you could try downgrading to Android 4.4 KitKat. A Verizon Galaxy S5 user recently put together a step-by-step process on how to move back from Android 5.0 Lollipop and those interested can find the instructions here. This isn’t guaranteed to fix your issues but it’s worth a shot if you don’t want to wipe the device or if none of these fixes have an impact.
FIXING GREEN LED LIGHT
Go Settings -> Display -> LED indicator -> Charging has to be checked.
You can also try factory reset. This will fix all kind of bugs.
LED light is showing while charging...but only red LED,it never shows the green light even though the batt is full...this is just basic stuff that you told me...but anyway thanks.
