Hi,
I have the Galaxy S4 I9500 (Israeli version) and been having battery issues since the upgrade (a year ago? for Android 5).
So I tried a few ROMs: the stock Rom of 4.4.2, Ozcan, Phoenix,
now i have the ResurrectionRemix with Android 5.1.1 , but still not getting more than 6 hours of average use (no games, no videos, just avergae apps use: Whatsapp, Facebook, Grindr, Instagram, Snapchat - nothing that justifies a charger after 6 hours).
I'm attaching my battery info pics, seems like the kernel is the main battery drainer, but i'm not sure if i need another ROM or a kernel and which one?
Pics in this link: jalbum.net/en/browse/user/album/1745248 (or below...)
Please help me, i just want the maximum battery life, i don't care about looks, cool stuff or anything, just best battery i can get.
thank you.

It's kinda hard to decipher anything when everything is in your language.
Anyway, this sounds a lot like the battery itself has a problem. I suggest trying another battery.
It's impossible that 3 completely different ROMs have the same issue.
And that the problems started with android 5 is just a coincidence.

Thank you, but i have another battery, the same problems... maybe these ROMs are not that good, which ROM is the best?

There is no best. This is subjective, as every person has other opinions and needs.
And what does average use mean?
as i wrote... average use (no games, no videos, just avergae apps use: Whatsapp, Facebook, Grindr, Instagram, Snapchat - nothing that justifies a charger after 6 hours).
Do you know what are the best ROMs i should try?
thank you.

Just flashed, I can already see it behaving differently. Most notable it will not hold LTE in my house anymore (great).
I an tell you right now this will drain my battery faster its bouncing back and forth, back and forth.
Ugh.
Will report back with battery life.
I made sure I flashed with 100% battery to avoid any issues caused by this (it DOES happen, trust me, ask the devs who worked on the Atrix.)
Seems ok so far though, who knows maybe the radio is much better and uses less power. its been unplugged for like 20 mins and its at 99% with about 5 of those minutes in use. Not bad.
When my blue tooth is off it gets better battery than 4.3 but I can't really tell when BT is on...

My other phone's a Ferrari.

Yep, its been reported from various websites that KitKat completely borks battery usage, especially on Note 3's and Nexus devices. I've gone through three Note 3's as a result and finally gave up troubleshooting and gonna stick with Jelly Beat

I originally had the 10.1 (2014) Wi-fi version. It is not rootable without tripping KNOX and it had horrible battery life.
I now got the LTE version (T-Mobile P607T) and after rooting with TowelRoot (KNOX 0) and disabling all the bloatware, I got GREAT battery life right out of the box! I charged my tablet 100% while it's off for the 1st time and now I got:
- Almost 24 hours since last charged
- Almost 5 hours of screen on time with LTE and Wi-fi both ON
- 15% remaining
This is AWESOME!! I am sure it will get better after subsequent use and charge.
Sorry for the excitement, but I got much better battery life than my Nexus 7 (2nd Gen)!

Same here man! Even with 3d gaming (which I've seen many posts complaining about that in particular causing "massive" drain). I do use Greenify, Unbounce, etc. I'm easily good for the full day with it fully charged. My perspective is relative though, as I upgraded from a Note 8, which burned close to 10% just rebooting! So IMO, the battery life on this tablet is excellent, and easily comparable to my heavily modded / optimized Note 3.
This, perhaps, deserves it's own topic (and after explaining the procedure at length, decided I should just post one ), but especially after flashing ROMS, kernels, etc., make sure to calibrate your battery correctly! I think those instructions are worthy of a new topic (the info's here, but spread all over the place). AFAIK, none of the calibration apps work nearly as well as this, which is kind of the "old school" method, but it works very well! So I'll post that up, and definitely would recommend checking it out... It took me a while to figure this out, but I did discover how to do this on a tablet (without a phone / dialer) so hopefully that will be helpful to many here
Edit: Rereading your post, I was wondering what method you used to debloat? I'm currently semi-debloated, running xKat and freezing many system apps in Titanium (without negative effect), but then I've encountered permissions errors uninstalling system apps via that app. Just wondering specifically what method you used to debloat. TIA!
My phones battery decided to increase in size for the last two days and now i have replaced it. Does anyone know why this happens and what I can do in the future to avoid it?

Ya my note 3 did the same thing, i thought it was tye battery caz of the 8 dollar price. That is the conclusion i came up with too the phone was never really hot and 2 of those batteries swelled up making them unusable. I did upgrade the battery didnt have any more swell. I would like to know how that does happen though, i thought i was the onlu person that ran into this im glad read this post and hopefully can get an answer as im very curious if it was the type of battery or if was kernel. I cant remember the kernel i had but thought might be from putting too much speed in my rom.

Yeah. I want to know this too. These days i have been swapping between stock and cm 12.1 and on stock the battery amp ranges from 1200mah to 1800mah but on cm12.1 it always stayed at 1800mah and also phone got hot. It may be due to that or it may be because discharged this battery once to zero and then recharged it to 100 and then jump charged a couple of times. A lot of factors and this one was abused a lot so I can't put my finger on exactly what I did that caused this.
Hi there, i just wanted to make this post to know your battery stats and share mine too, for the 6045B (Idol 3 5.5')
In my case, i got a rom from 4PDA from 22FEB, i asked if i'm allowed to post it but i still have no answer, so i will just give the name
ROM_AOSP-6045Y (don't get confused on the name, it is based on 6045Y rom, and yes i installed the 6045Y rom into 6045B phone (Chile/Argentina Variant))
in this rom, i got the best results ever, and here i will share them
First at 32% (it is sort of mixed English/Spanish, don't pay attention to that)

as can you see, impressive (and i played some games in the meanwhile)
then i just played until 11%
Then, finally, at 1/2%, with this impressive SoT
And this is game time i played
in total 1 hour and 20 minutes of play time
i guess if i didn't played i would get more than 6 hours of SoT
I clarify that i use Battery Saver Pro and NapTime
so, what is your battery life? it is better? then which rom do you use?
Right now I`m getting something like 5 hours on screen using chrome, messenger, spotify at once (heavy use, like u can see) and modded with xposed, added google assistant with google ok detection and ambient display. LineageOS 13 with Greenify only
Still waiting for update, cause doze will be enabled and with luck I will get 1 or 2 more hours
Of course I still experimenting with CPU profiles
@MichaelGK nice, are you using the latest build or it is the first posted? i could not get more than 4 hours SoT in lineageOS, did you try Naptime or forcedoze?

Every app that doze not working cause there`s no enabled doze in LineageOS right now, it will be enabled at update... I think it should be online in few hours.
And I think greenify did the job better. It got force doze and much more features, also configuration is very simple. Best to use it with root and xposed.
For more features you can buy donation pack or just search for it, but better to buy, cause it`s worth this few dollars
So this is my battery life now, and it's now horrible. Any help? RR OS, Franco Kernel, March Update, Magisk 16, underclocked cpu.

EDIT: After posting i realised its the wrong forum for it, sorry.
Same for me my friend, installed all kind of MODS, Kernels and ROMs, always the same bad battery life, with stock March is good...

Maybe try analyze what app using most of your battery?
The EXACT SAME setup as yours. Maybe 1h on data, the other on WiFi
Reinstalled the newest version of rr, mint kernel. Hope it helps.

stock march also isn't something to write home about, but atleast its better than op
Well, first of all, Facebook Messenger is a battery killer.
Check your apps and the strength of your data signal. Poor strength or signal loss has a huge impact on battery life.
Also how do you use your phone? What kind of usage?
Enable adaptive brightness. I get around 4.5H SOT @50%.
I saw Facebook notification
Get Frost Test app in Apps and Games in XDA
I think it was a problem with the ROM. Now i have about 6-7 hours of SOT with AOSP Extended and Franco Kernel. All apps are the same, nothing changed.
Same for me i also facing battery problem
