ridiculously big BATTERY DRAIN GT-I9500 S4

Hi guys,
I'm about to lose right now concerning this issue. I've had my International Version Galaxy S4 since mid July and it was all candy and heaven, until devil 4.3.3 version came up. I upgraded my phone via OTA. From that moment i have had the most obnoxious and stupid battery drain ever. my phone wont go to sleep mode and discharges over 50% in 8 hours overnight.
I called TechSup bur obviously they didnt do **** to help me, so i installed Gsam a few days ago and this is what happened (check the attachments)
Well. Without further ado, I present to you my stupid phone.:crying:
Great day everyone!

Ur phone suffers from wakelock issues which keeps your phone awake. Only way to combat this is flashing a different ROM (different KERNEL) onto your phone.

You get better info with three battery setting screenshots (little graph with main consumption processes, big graph tapping over little graph with partial wakelocks and other states, and screen total time on), please, post them.
Usually your problem can be fixed by over flashing same rom with Odin 3.09 (no data losing)

I had this drain in my old S2 when I upgraded from 4.0 to 4.1.. So to get rid of it, simply format your data (you can backup the apps u want via helium or any backup app)

Hi, I didnt post them because they didnt showed anything important. Android OS consumed 89% of the battery follow by gpsd with 9%. Screen is not even listed since i left it overnight with 100% battery charge. But i will post mentioned screenshot in a while after 8 hours of no using the phone.
Thx for your help, i really appreciate it

Did it already

Hi! would this void my S4 warranty? IF NOT, is there a tutorial you recommend for doing this? sounds like i might brick my phone
Thank you for your time!

Since you made full wipe then you must try another rom and kernel (yes you will void warranty if you have knox) ...

I am not really sure if he just flash a different Samsung stock 4.3 Rom warranty bit will increase... I think NOT as I read in some forums, but not sure at all because I am root since beginning 4.3 with 0x1...

I wrote "try another rom and kernel" so you know flashing a kernel will absolutely increase the knox flag..

Your problem seems similar to mine but in a bigger scale, you find more info at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557164
Right now the suggestion I have was given by the user maanz "L"
U might want to go to Google play store and select "do not auto updates".
Another thing to check is; got to Settings/MyDevice/Accessibility and unchecked Notification Reminder.
Next is; go to Google Settings app, open Android Device Manager and uncheck "Remotely report this device".
Reboot after making these changes and check BBS app after 4 hours.
Hope that these could bring down the high Android OS and phone awake.

Hi.
Try to post some screenshots using Better Battery Stats app so that we can find out the real problem.
Cheers.

You believe android antivirus?? Also if you instal only via Google play its minimal chance

What antivirus do you recommend? the malware send messages in broadcast. avast and other don't detect it

My antivirus is my brain Apps in android cannot check another one Its not a windows
Best thing is Xprivacy. (Xposed module, requieres root acces)

Galaxy S5 Neo (SM-G903F) 5.1.1- How Do I Root?

[SM-903F] [lollipop 5.1.1] root
Hi.
I'm a user of Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo (SM-G903F).
Please tell me, if it's possible to root this device ?
Thanks

I'm also looking for root, but it seems that it isn't possible at the moment.

+1

Same here, tried really ALL root methods I found all over the net. 45+ I guess. But at least some of them showed a request count, so it may be in work.

Same thing
Hey guys
I can only say the same thing, I've tried major part of rooting methods, apps n progs available without success. The "nearest" was Kingo root but have stopped at 77% progress. I'm thinking to try contacting chainfire and ask him to try "updating" cfroot to gain possibility to root galaxy s5 neo G903F lollipop 5.1.1. Have someone idea where is the correct place/post to contact him for this? I ask this because I red from him that he don't answer private messages.
Please give me some idea.
Best regards to all of you.

I wrote a request on chainfires superSu thread, hope it helps!

Hi!
I have also asked around for this and send a PM to PG101, for the S5 NEO – SM-G903FXXU1AOGG, on Android 5.1.1.
I have not tried anything yet, as I use this mainly for work and bricking it would be worst nightmare scenario.
But Samsung does not support sidesync yet, and I need root to add AC3 audio support to the device.
I hope this new model gets picked up fast!

Hi androcraze
The first link it's a kind of "fake" the second one the blog doesn't exist any more and third one is for unroot s5 neo SM-G903F, BUT, since this model isn't been rooted till now, I think it can't be unrooted
Read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62967168
In second page about the 2 first links or more information in the other posts of that thread, but the s5 Neo sm-g903f have not been rooted since now I think...
I'm waiting and searching around too but I can't find it

Check out Auto root. Make sure your bootloader is unlock or you will have a bricked device in your hands.

SRS root - no good
I read today that the new version of SRS Root could be used to root, but....
Bitdefender found several trojans during download! The previous version of SRS Root didn't have this problem.
Be aware.

Battery dead? Did you try flashing a stock rom on it? Did you try to do a full wipe?

First my phone was rooted. An error "custom binary blocked by FAP" occured and then i unrooted by going to download mode and again inserting the stock os. it was upto 900mb of stock os. pnce unrooted i again rooted it and then i was using it at night and its screen display went out. Don't know what happened. No display. No vibration. Nothing. Plzz help.

Was phone first hand or second hand? Some guys sell u phone's with a phones outside hardware but the inside is completely fake

It was internal problem with my motherboard. Got a new motherboard for my phone in warranty.

This is scary... Is it possible that rooting might have had an impact on the motherboard? I'm asking this because I casually test different roms and kernels and tweaks once a few days and I don't want my device to have your fate...

Extremely unlikely rooting or any kind of software modification could cause hardware to fail.
It's purely a coincidence.

Alright! So far I have been flashing things in a day more than any normal human would need : ))))

But that problem was at the time when i had stock rom not rooted. I am currently running a rooted j5 5.1.1 not upgraded to 6.0.1 and it is working perfectly fine. I also have changed the stock boot animation but nothing lags. No errors. All Ok !

TWRP & Android 7.1 - restoring backups not possible

Hi there,
I'm experiencing problems with Android 7.1 and TWRP...more precisely I can't boot any backup of android 7.1.
It seems to restore but it always gets stuck in a bootloop at the Lenovo logo.
There isn't a problem with Android L - backups work and boot.
Can anyone confirm this behaviour??? (or maybe has got some further information or hints about it)
thanks

The same problem. I thought it is my local trouble.

It was the same for me. I had to reset tab to original state and, so that rooting didn't worked properly for me, and neither did nandroid restoring, I didn't even unlock bootloader this time....

how can you run twrp with locked bootloader???

so here's what you can do instead...
it's still possibe to restore 'data' - so one needs to go back to android 6 (via full rom or older backup).
update to android 7.1
restore data.

I'm not using it anymore, since it was not working. So, by now I've decided to use this tab "as it is". Winch is not bad at all, BTW.
But not a device to experiment with, definitely.
