did i flash the wrong rom to my phone? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First things first my phone model is SM-S902L straight talk. the stock firmware is 4.4.2 and since i flashed 7.1 on here (lineageOS 14.1) i cannot flash the stock because of secure boot blocking it because you cant downgrade. Like an idiot i didnt backup the stock rom with TWRP, and from there my battery life is about 4 hours of use from full charge to being dead. On the suggestion of someone on reddit i flashed Resurrection remix and the battery life was a little better but still horrible. I came across a thread of someone saying they used the wrong rom and flashing the correct one fixed the battery life. so i just flashed the RR Remix KLTEVZW (FCC code said G900V at the end) and my battery seems to be lasting alot longer. i haven't installed any apps but just keeping the screen on im getting a good 5-10 minutes between each 1% battery drop. Before it was draining so fast just installing 5 apps from the play store i lost 8% battery. and playing pokemon go i was losing 1% battery every minute or 2 give or take.
Was the S5 battery life always crap? I mean my note 2 with its original battery lasts twice as long with cyanogen mod 13 if not more. Here is something interesting. When i started typing this out (about 30 minutes ago) the battery level dropped 2% and the life expectancy changed from 1 hours 51 minutes to approx 5 hours. Do you think the normal KLTE is an incorrect rom and KLTEVZW is the one i need?

It depends on CPU states, CPU power and also battery life. No, not that battery life, but how old or if it is genuine or not. The Snapdragons are battery hoggers, Exynos phones always lasted longer because they are better low power devices, plus the Note 2 only had 1.6 GHz, while the S5 has 2.5GHz and more powerful software to shift, and the 1080p display which is the main issue. I thought you screwed it up and bricked your device, misleading title, so please edit it. Tell me if you want me to tell you more from my personal experience to shed some light on this.

I would say try the normal lineage klte version instead of the Verizon one heres the link for there download https://download.lineageos.org/klte

Poor batter life

I changed from Note 3 to s 6 edge plus recently
The battery drops 5% per hour overnight when not in use. If I go to bed with less than 40% battery at night I am sure to wake up with my phone switched off in the morning.
When in use with screen on, the battery drips one percent every two minutes. This is the worst battery life I have ever seen in a phone. I was a long loyal customer of samsung and this is my last samsung phone ever.
Extremely disappointed
Please post your battery stats ? so we can have a better understanding of your problem. I suggest you install 'Doze' which should stop unnecessary apps from connecting to the internet and causing your phone to awake from deep sleep.
Dear Akbar 11
Heres the battery stats....is it normal?
I had the same issue, and as far as I managed to find out, it is a bug in Samsung's kernel. Flashing Arter97 kernel solved the issue for, but do post battery stats from SmartManager. If it says 'Android' or 'Android OS', then you have the same problem many of us do.
I don't think it's a kernel problem. My android OS is very low 4%. Like zoolok said post your battery stats from settings, battery, battery usage
I have the same problem. Battery was great before I flash custom rom. After going back to stock I have big battery draining. I must stay on custom rom. With Audax rom and Skyhigh kernel i have great battery life.
You have either messed up something big or you have an app in the background that is eating up your battery like no tomorrow.
And the reason i say that is because i recently got this battery life on my Galaxy S6 edge+.
And this was taken 2 days ago.
Here i use the CRISSCROSS ROM, AudaxPro Kernel, Greeinify and Samsung's own 'Appoptimizing' feature (same as Doze in Android 6.0).
So my battery life is pretty awesome.
i have problem whit battery lose 25% when i sleep
This is a usual day with s6 edge plus
Any help?

i have this problem battery ... if u fixed it tell me how?
Well I was expecting Google Play Services to be eating your battery (which is quite common) but it looks like your Andriod OS is eating the most battery. I would uninstall Facebook and use the web version it always helps with the ram and battery furthermore, turn off location if you are not using it and check accounts which are being synced. These are the only tips I can give you as I have never seen Android OS drain so much battery.
Since a few days Google Play Store is eating up my battery: I go to sleep with 100% batt and wake up with 50%, if I check batt stats on top I have play store at 45%, with 5h active a d 2h of CPU.
Follows Android system at 5%.
Going crazy why...

You've charged your phone 4 times during that day. I can't see what's the interesting part here.

How is your battery after 1-2 years?

Hi all,
i own my OPO since january 2015 and started noticing that the battery doesn t last like it used to be. i now usually get 3 hours of screen-on and it seems that the battery even takes longer to charge. How is your opo battery doing after more than 1 year of service? i'm asking because i want to know if it's a software problem that drains the battery (latest cm13 nightly) or really the battery got degraded
almost one and a half year old and the battery is still good.
after 2yrs, my batter gone down from 10hrs to 5hrs
What karthics4 said!Need a replacement soon!
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk
if it got really degraded, change it.
Before replacing it, what should i check to be 100% sure that there is no battery drain on the software side?
With the right ROM and kernel I have much better battery life than two years before.
Oneplus One
I'm having less battery time than when it was new.
I have 3h SOT max currently.
Me 2. Currently looking for a good battery replacement...
After 2 years the battery is still extremely good.
Still lasting a day with ressurection remix and governor set to smartmax with lte,only wifi if i charge it to full it will consume only 35 to 40%.
I've had my OPO for over a year and battery life is excellent on Omnirom Nightlies (screenshots attached)
I get about 5 or less hrs SOT on CM13 Nightlies but with a custom kernel like Boeffla I can UC CPU and GPU and get about 6 hrs.
When I had my phone new on 4.4.4 KK I used to get 6 hrs SOT on COS with no tweaks whatsoever over 2 or more days.
Of course it will less, but I'm still getting 4-5 sot. I bought mine since the invite was sold like 40 dollars lol.
remmember that lithium batteries degrade when heated... and they get hot (40 C).
another thing to remmember is that android 4.4.4 that the OPO was delivered to us lasted more that MM and Lollipop...
after two years my battery is good, not bad not awesome like it new, but good.
I'm using ressurection remix with undervolt -130 MV
And I still can go to university and home with 50% battery.
The problem is you'll not find any ORIGINAL replacement battery for that phone. Its all label-faked batteries which will not last as long as a 2 years old original one...
I tried already some of them..
in GPS, choose the "DEVICE ONLY" mode and see that the battery will last more. CM bug...
Hardly any of the replies in this thread are useful. Most of you started out with KK and then went to LP and MM, which have much worse battery life than kitkat, so you don't know how much of the degradation is from battery wear. Flivercod's new AICP MM rom is the only one I have seen since kitkat that has a similar battery usage profile to kitkat - the screen uses at least 4 times more power than system, play services, OS, etc, so to me only someone who was running this rom could make a valid comparison to how their battery life was now vs how it was new. For me, I have dropped about an hour of SOT, from 6 to 5 due to battery wear, which is about what you would expect. Due to this, I would like to replace my battery.
It peeves me to no end, like Guido83 said,. that you cannot find an OEM battery for the OPO. They all appear to be counterfeit crap from reading the reviews. Oneplus does not answer emails asking how to purchase an OEM battery for the OPO. So, I guess you are SOL when your battery gets wonky or just old. With phones now being fast enough and good enough to be used for more than 2 years, except for the frigging battery, I am waiting until some manufacturer decides to make one with an easily replaceable battery (and that has good support on XDA) before I purchase another. Until then it's the OPO and my backup Note 4 (which I rarely use since it has awful GPS despite having a replaceable battery and SD card.)
15mths in and my battery life has improved dramatically just by switching to RR. If you're rooted then it's worth trying out another Rom.
Third time lucky for me. Oxygen was by far the worst for me. I couldnt even get to 4pm without a charge up. Since installing RR I'm finding battery life has more than doubled.
HTH
One.five year old with max Sot of 4 hrs

s4 (i9506 model) best battery life rom ans kernel

hallo guys. i search the best normal looking rom or and kernel for the i9506 model to have a longer battery life. atm my battery lasts only 8 hours with a new battery. im using cyanogenmod 14.1
I really don't think you can get more than 8 hours out of the S4.
Most people barely get 4 hours.
i remember times where i could use the phone for more then 15 hours at stock rom. im not a poweruser just watchin 1-2 times per hour at my phone..
i thought there is some better rom concerning battery times :/
Only with a bigger battery.
The maximum is 5 hours screen-on time you can get.

how lasts your battery no extended, just orginal

how long your battery last longer until charged ? mine just 2hours. battery was new orginal by samsung.
Depends upon how I use the phone.
Average 3 days then charge .
Battery itself lasts four years .
Depends on what ROM I use. I was using Phronesis Android 6 and the battery was good, it lasted a couple of days. Lately I've been trying CM14 based Android 7 (tried Official LineageOS (no sim, didnt bother fixing) and I'm using trader418s LineageOS atm) and it hardly lasts a day. Is there something wrong with the new Android or is it the ROMs? Is there a good Android 7 rom that doesnt kill battery for Note 3 ?
Edit: Installed Validus and it seems the battery is too good, only used about 12% all day. Will have to keep an eye on it.

Galaxy S8 Battery Life!

Hello.
So i have had this issue for that past 6 months or so.
I bought my galaxy s8 upon release and the battery was great at the time. After some time of course i can expect the life to degrade. But it is horrible now.
I experimented with custom roms and stuff and it just got worse and worse and i tried a lot of different roms. My expected screen on time was 5 hours which is pretty normal.
After some time i only get like 3 hours a day and the standby drain was awful. Once a time i tried to go with stock rom and i got like 2 hours sot and a standby drain that was crazy. I use greenify to close apps in background.
My usage is normally messenger, facebook some times. Its mostly closed by greenify. I watch youtube browse the web and play simple games that doesnt need a lot of processing power to run.
Is it my battery thats very bad? I also experienced in the cold like 0 degrees celcious that my phone just died when it had like 25 percent.
Should i get battery replacement or whats the best option here? Currently running teamexykings lightrom for my galaxy s8 exynos
Same issue, I replaced the battery when fixing the cracked screen, didnt see any improvement even with the new battery
You can try if you want replacing the battery, but I believe its the software issue.
