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.

Hi, i would know which rom has the best battery life for the i9505.
I'm currently on DanVDH 5.0 Lollipop rom, which is awesome but the battery life isn't that good : With only wifi on, airplane mode on, brightness between 30-50%, and normal use (Chrome, sociak networks, some dl and videos), i can't get more than barely 3h30 of screen on time, sometimes 4 hours but not so often.
So, which rom (and maybe kernel) would you recommend ? I'd love to get at least 4 to 5 hours of screen-on time.
Im using the CM12 Lollipop 5.0.2 Build from Antares and got between 4-6h Screentime, without problems any way more usage as you.
Maybe your battery is ... dying?
It can't be the battery dying, it's a S4 black edition which isn't old.. And in stock rom it used to last way much longer :/
Hey Folks,
It's been more than three years since the phone was released. Many would have replaced the battery similar to stock or higher capacities.
Let's share the battery life and usage of our phones. I have attached snapshots of my phone from GSAM battery monitor app. I have installed a 4400mAh Anker extended battery.
Please share yours. Cheers. :good:
Hi! Mi S3 has three years as well. You can see the date that it was built with the app Phone Info-Samsung- in the playstore. Mine it has a stock ROM, and with heavy usage (games, chrome and youtube) (didn't change the battery since got the phone), it gives 3h and 30 min screen on time. Very well to a phone that have three years. Greetings.
Stock battery 2 years plus
Offline Manga reading 5Hrs SOT
Online browsing 2~4hrs
Online streaming 2~4hrs
Gaming 2~3hrs
:C
3 1/2 years
Using Lollipop it drains in 4 hours of moderate using.
Using KitKat I can use the phone for 6 hours of moderate using.
I have been using my S3 since 1 year and 10 months and can go for 6-7 hrs with heavy usage
I bought my S3 in Sept 2013 so it has been close to 2yrs now and I have switched to Zero lemon which is 7000 maH monster..it lasts me for 3 days easily with super heavy usage...if I keep it in stand by it can last me for 20+ days without any issues...
I'm still using the stock battery. I've another stock battery as spare.
So far it working well with average of 7-8 hrs battery life with light usage.
Recently, I just use the Battery Repair app to repair some bad cells in the battery. Hopefully it will prolong the battery life a bit more.
Hi ******. Thats great timing so is yoir smartphone stable with this big monster 7000Mah . Can you guide me a bit so that i can buy one that i am sure about . I have galaxy s3 i9300 with 2 hours 3g use help me out

I changed recently to original Samsung's 3000mAh and would recommend it everyone who hesitate :good:
My S3 is now my second phone, so fairly light usage. Stock battery, 3 years 2 months old. Flashed Belokta Note 4 rom 5.1, Boeffla kernel 7.9. Greenify and Amplify. Able to achieve 2.5 days off the charger and 1 hour 15 mins SOT. Wi-Fi whenever possible. Not bad for a 3 year old battery and great work for the developers.

Wow, excellent score, seems like I need to try Boeffla
My Note 3 has godly battery life; no joke. It seems to last for 12 hours SoT from 100% and over a week going down to 5%.
It's on Stock Touchwiz with IdleKernel 7.1.0 on. Has some changes from Kernel Adiutor, L Speed, and has Greenify.
And 10000 mAh battery... Please remove this thread, it's kinda stupid !

My battery lasts for over a month .
I charge it every day .
My battery last for 3 years and counting....
I charge it on average once a day. But lately 2 times a day.
I got 6 hr of SOT on DarkLord's S7 Edge
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!

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
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.
