I keep hearing people say that their battery life heavily improved on MM. Mine sucks. And I have a new anker battery so it's not the battery. Battery is terrific on CM13 and decent on one of the 5.1.1 roms. However CM13 has too many bugs and the camera on stock MM seems way better than on the LP rom I was using. Anybody else have this crappy battery on stock MM? What gives?

Alright I've deleted a ton of stuff with Root Explorer. We'll see how it goes. One thing that does happen is I'm constantly getting the refreshing sim message on the stock radio. I use a cricket sim card and if I flash the ANK5 Kitkat modem as someone suggested around here in another post then the message doesn't show up nearly as often or at all. I'm wondering.....is the Kitkat radio just better? Is the LP and MM eating battery when it's displaying that message?

Getting pretty bad battery life on ANE2 compared to the stock fw ANCI if I recall the name correctly. My usage is the same. The stock fw blew my mind as I could run the phone for two days with normal usage. ANE2 is back to charging every night without fail.
Anyone beat this?

Just curious where you purchased your battery at? Where have you looked for a new battery?
I have the stock battery and an original samsung battery that came with the Spare Battery Charging Kit that I bought from amazon. Both batteries drain equally on the ANE2 rom. Rooted.

You should install BetterBatteryPlus or WakeLockDetector to find out which app is draining your battery
Thanks. Yeah totally forgot about BBS.

Hello xda members , i created this thread to everyone who can/want to share his experience about battery life in cm11 with our precious s4 .
I always see people asking about this and even me , some say that it increase battery life while others say it decrease it.
So if you will share some screenshots , tell us about your configuration ( kernel , cpu , build ... ) .
Thanks , and have a nice day

I am a very heavy user. I browse a lot on mobile data. It is a miracle that I even hit 3 hours OST at 2 % battery left. These are pretty good battery stats for me.

I'm exactly like you , i was always flashing AOSP roms then turning back to stock rom , for about a month
But finally i'm running a stock 4.4.2 rom , waiting for the 5.0 lollipop . Customs roms are good when your device don't get updates any more + i didn't find a rom as stable as stock firmware
Still have 56% of juice

Lollipop battery life is terrible. So dont update to lollipop, thats what my suggestion.
Exactly opposite for me. Battery backup is much better in LP than KK.
go ahead and try lollipop.. I felt it better regarding battery consumption..
It seems my battery is considerably worse after the lollipop update. It also seems that when the phone is idle and the screen is off a lot of battery is being used. I checked battery settings and it saying Android Os is taking up most of the battery.. Which u guess it normal.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Free mobile app
If you updated from KK to LP, it's advised to factory reset the phone
KK leaves behind rubbish battery draining files after the update, happened to me and many others, resetting it solves that
Ah damn was hoping it wouldn't come to this but I guess I need to do it. Guess there's no way to root if I do this either.

There is, but it would void your warranty by tripping KNOX
Hello, today I noticed that my battery was worse than usual, so I checked what was draining it and android system was second after screen. It says stay awake 1h 15 min from total 1h 30min since full charge. It's already 80% with less than 1h sot, normally it is better. What can I do ?
Notice, I went to running processes, and software update was always running, even after stopping it it got open again. Also a strange one I never seen before, com.sec.android.app.keyguard , is always running.
Anyone? -_-

Yes full stock.
I has the exact same issue with my Sprint S3 (D2SPR) last year. The only thing that I could do to fix it was to flash the stock firmware with Odin. Nothing I did helped the battery drain. Are you familiar with Odin and flashing Samsung devices?

At the moment I rooted to use BetterBatteryStats and it shows that phone is not going to deep sleep.
Well, let's install a wakelock detector and see what shows up. Then, we can use a number of other apps to control the wakelock to prevent the high battery drain. You probably have a rogue app keeping your device awake. You can unintelligible each app one by one and monitor the battery list or install Better Battery Stats and it will tell you which apps have gone rogue and are killing your battery life. Do you have Facebook or Twitter or other heavy social media apps on your S3?

Yes I have but I always had those apps and I dont believe its their fault. Android system is first on the list, even higher that screen which I always had first. System is staying awake a lot. Now I formated and will see with wakelock detector what will show.
Cool. Lemme know how Wakelock Detector does and what it shows for wakelocks keeping your S3 awake.

BetterBatteryStats shows that phone went to deep sleep, only 1 minute is awake with screen off and this is good. Wakelock detector shows first place is google services, then 1013 ( don't know what that is ) and 3rd is android system. I have no apps installed only what it has preloaded.
If that's how Better Battery Stats shows what is happening I think a rogue app was causing your high battery drain. Install your apps one at a time and allow Better Battery Stats to run each time and see if the app causes high Android System drain. Glad it's not pulling your battery down. I think 1013 is what is shown for media scanning in some way.

Thank you for your patience and help sir, but unfortunately the problem continues. BBS still shows that phone is awake while not being used. Maybe less, but still it is. Anyway I will try a rom or something, or just leave it be. Thank you.
Give Aditya ROM a try and see how it runs. Put it thru it's paces and then let it rest for a while. Then take a look at the battery list and see what's there. It looks like a full featured ROM with plenty of new stuff. Just a recommendation. Let me know if I can help in any way.

No problem. Glad it seems to.be back to normal. When I had my Sprint S3 I had issues like this too. I would flash a custom ROM in recovery and then Odin back to a bone stock firmware and everything would be back to normal again. Good luck.
Factory reset your device. For me it helped and now Android System is only 11% and no app draining the battery. btw.. are you using black S3 Neo?
