[Q] Is this normal?

I've upgraded from a Gingerbread recently and now I have the S4 mini. The battery usage after deleting, freezing and "greenifying" apps is bugging compared to my experience. Is there something that can be done? I don't like powering off the phone when I go to bed since the alarm won't work and f charging overnight, too green for that.
Just realized I posted this in the wrong forum, if a mod could please move this to the S4 Mini forum

I mean that it bothers me.
And I've tried that and really, I don't notice any bad wakelocks, everything looks normal yet the battery won't go 24 hours

Anyone?

The big gap where there is no mobile signal was this on airplane more or something?

Same here
I also have low battery usage in omega v21.1. I always have 4G or WiFi on, and don't use it that much while at work, only whats app, some web browsing and PDF and autosync for mails and any do however I get to the end of the afternoon without battery. I've tried different batteries, greenify and intelli3g but nothing seems to help and this has happened with other roms too.

Yes! I use to put the phone on airplane mode when I go to bed.

Has anyone gotten to save more power on airplane mode?

that battery drain

Hello I just bough a s4 because my old iphone 4s battery was draining really really fast and now i have this phone for 5 days and the battery goes kinda very fast away... I just rooted it to delete all the nonsense apps and it spaced up like 300mb of ram on it and I counted: 1% goes in 4 minutes of just touching my phone in 0 brightness. Is this normal for this phone? I already formated it few times. Please help.

Not its not normal.Install GSam Battery Monitor and check Kernel WakeLocks.And post result.Good Luck.

S4 batteries have a problem. Go to samsung service center and exchange it.

well if it's the battery itself i think it's better if i just buy it 20€ is a new one because if i send my phone to the service it's going to cost 10€ to send it to them and back and i probably won't have it back in 2 weeks...
So this when i open the app, shoudn't the mA be higger than that?
edit: after unplugging it it has only 460 mA -.-'

Click first icon down on left.And click on View Kernel WakeLock post the first result.:good:.
I have too WakeLock fix it by delete Cache in Settings/More/Storage!After that Settings/More/Application Manager press Menu Button and click Reset app preferences.Good Luck!

If new battey is at a reasonable price go for it. But take care that new batteries are cured from old batteries problems so beware when you purchase. Also there are anker batteries which are good too.

I'm only going on the phone to write an sms and 5 times on snapshot+wifi and then turn it off and the % flies away -.-'
So it's the battery?

check your battery if it is swollen (thick)

Yes as he said, check if battery is swollen.

Well if your battery is draining 1% every 4 minutes with screen on, then you should get around 6 hours display on time which I would consider is pretty normal...

Youd find changing the iphone battery is easy.Take out the 2 screws and slide off back cover.Then take off 2 screws that hold battery connector,then prize out old battery.
They are only £5 off ebay.

Had no idea an iPhone battery would fit an SGS4. Not much use anyway as it has a much and much smaller capacity. But thx anyway :good:

s7 edge android 7 beta 4 battery drai

hello guys after latest update noguat beta 4
i have proplem with my battery its drain fast no deep sleep i didnt use the phone here is my bettery usage what is the proplem :/

Looks to me your problem is Media.
Could be the system constantly scanning your files stored on the phone, and your SD card.

Maybe a bad audio file or something. Try making a backup of your sd card and format it. Dont put anything on it and look if media goes down in your batterystats. My battery lasts very well on latest beta. See screenshot. With 4:11 mins SOT.

The clue is in the title....beta - meaning it's not complete software, bugs exist and battery drain could be one of them.

Very bad news. Note 4 dying... Freezes, Restarts, Vibrates

My beloved Note 4 is I think dying. I have read several threads, tried all techniques that have been used, including cleanup, cache clean, factory reset, wake lock etc. After restarting it may hold good for sometime but then screen freezes becomes black, exact two vibrations and the phone restarts.
It was an unrooted, very well maintained. I had changed the battery 4-6 weeks back to an Anker Note 4 battery as my stock battery was not holding charge below 15%. Nothing else changed. Perhaps running some magazine apps from mobi, but otherwise just took very good care of this.
I am so disappointed that words fail me to have lost this epic best device ever created.
If you guys can think off any thing I can do to revive my beloved Note 4, please let me know. Please.
Thanks

Frustrating
Strange thing as of this week, mine is doing the same thing - struggling to get it started, and tried everything including the reinstalling the rom - got a brand new battery and nothing is working....I did do an update just before all this started.

i really think its the battery too.... i've had the same problem a while back.
Verstuurd vanaf mijn SM-N910F met Tapatalk

Nope swapping with stock battery still same freezes. Here's the weird part now. Three days running without freezing. I also watched a 45 min YouTube video at 720p. Nothing yet. I wonder is it because of the sheer power of the device and the way we put it on a an overdrive (running almost PC like tasks) has stressed the hardware out and which is now beginning to fail. I am still going to log the sequence of events when this happens. Now replying this via my note 4.

Also is running the best application made for Android (dns66) safe? A VPN vs rooted adaway is very different. Hope no anomalies with this.

I should write a book titled "how to jinx it". Phone back to freezing mode. Will start it tomorrow morning. Activity that I was doing is browsing the Amazon app and loading some item photos and the black frozen screen of death.

Can you post details of the update? What location? I don't think users in Canada are expecting any further updates.

I was having screen freezes without loss of power, would still work with S pen, rooted and installed other roms, tried a 1000 different things and nothing worked. Started having this issues after an official update. Bought a anker battery which solved some battery problems but the rest of the issues remained. 1 month ago phone started going black screen and turning off. Couldnt power it on, had to remove battery to start it again. 2 weeks ago installed nemesys rom and now working all like a charm. Hope im not jinxing it now.
Have exynos 910C

Eva, can you please keep checking and posting your results here. Fingers crossed too.
Also a brief step by step guide to install nemesys rom would greatly help.
I also thought if Nougat could fix the issue?

Will be calling Samsung support today based on suggestions on the other freeze thread. If 300 euros (that would be brand new phone in Canada), I am going to take this forward to the press.
Sent from my SM-G955W using Tapatalk

It is a well known issue. Please read similar post in this forum (note 4 freeze and restart).
Solved only by installing app called wakelock, that drains a bit.
Samsung doesn't pronunce about that, but they know, oh, if they know. But the cure is expensive, and they want to avoid massive recall.
So, this is.
Greetings.
Oh, and someone better than me should investigate why wakelock works. Perhaps, it may help thousands users, around the world.

You have a problem with your EMMC chip!

Just over 2 years old note 4 G model. There are days mine restarts up to 10 times. In a "good" day only 2-3 times. Only gets worse in the last half year. Need a solution.

Problems like these are either hardware or software. Try a clean wipe and then reflash latest stock rom for your device via Odin. Do not install too many other apps, and do not install xposed or root, etc. Keep it basic. If problems go away, then the issue is related to a troublesome app or something that was corrupted on your previous rom installation. If problems persist, then it is likely hardware (which, given the age of the device today, may not be cost effective to fix). Hope this helps.

Mine became almost useless...freezing screen, unresponsive buttons, reboots escalated from 3-4x a day to 9-10x a day, getting stuck on either the Samsung or Sprint boot screen. Push came to shove and I completely formatted and installed the phone back to stock. I can't recall which ODIN flashable version of 6.01 I found, but it worked fine for about half a day...until the phone pushed an OTA update on me. It was like a brand new phone again, but like clockwork I was right back to 3-4 reboots a day... at least it was only that.
So far I'm on day 2 of flashing "Baseband version N910PVPS4DPK1 via ODIN, installed TWRP and then installing a custom Zerolemon mod baked into the stock kernel by @lucasaddon. Give me a full week of heavy usage (I go through an IBESTWIN 10,000mah battery at least every day via streaming while I'm at work, so I've got two of these batteries) and with his permission, I'll share it here.

See this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/note-4-freezing-restarting-t3348821
The best approach so far (if you live in the US) is to send it to the Samsung repair facility in Plano, TX. It will cost anywhere from about $50 to $150 to get it fixed, but they will repair it to like new condition. I did that several months ago and mine still works flawlessly.
Good luck!!!

Mobile netword standby drain issue on all Oreo ROM

I have this issue on my K6 power on all Oreo based ROM with a battery drain due to mobile network standby. It doesn't happen on 7.0 based ROM where I can get great battery life.
I disabled wifi and BT scanning in Location settings.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks!

Dont care about that. See if you are getting good screen on time. I have been using oreo rom for last one year and getting 5-6 hours screen on time.
