My GT-I9505 has always had a very poor battery life. However, thanks to Greenify and Amplify I managed to reduce the battery drain during deep sleep almost entirely. However, I noticed huge battery drain when the screen is on, it takes half of the battery and just for less than 2 hours of screen on! The brightness is set to minimum, I use Slimkat's Dark UI which it should help the AMOLED screen, but these battery drops keeps staying (even with other ROMs i have the same battery drain)... A friend of mine has got a Galaxy S5 and its battery is absolutely brilliant, screen takes only 20% in the battery stats and he uses it far more than me... Is this a normal attitude on the S4?

The S5 does have a bigger battery (bigger in terms of mAh). It also depends on the age of the battery. If the phone is new (therefor has a new battery) it obviously lasts longer. It also depends on what you are doing when the screen is on. Do you play games or what?
I usually read on my S4 and it does not drain so much as to go from 100% to 50% in 2 hours. But I'm running lollipop. I've never had any other rom beside original firmware and lollipop gpe.
Check your settings and governor.

Hi mate
Use an app like BBS let it run when the screen is on to really see what is keeping the phone awake

Note 4 n-910g battery drains very fast im on stock rom lollipop version n910gdtu1b0h2
Usually battery drains fast the first 1-2 days when you update the firmware but it should stabilize after that. But in order to get any help better share screenshots of your battery stats to see what's draining the most out of your battery.
Screen shot
So I did some benchmarks with my new 6p(stock and unrooted) and for some reason the phone got better results from 3dMark with battery saver on compared to battery saver off. (1609 with battery saver and 1491 without battery saver.) Is there a reason why battery saver helped the phone get better scores?(I can't post the picture since i'm a new member. If anyone wants to see the results I can pm.)
So after 8 hours of sleep, from 100% down to this. What could be causing that much of a problem.
That's the Samsung galaxy s6 edge+ model. I have the same issues with the battery. It absolutely sucks.
The-drain-life-from-battery-function is built in. Just enjoy.
i have terrible battery drain on standby, sometimes i think it lasts longer when im using it :laugh:
Anybody found a fix ?
It makes a major difference for me. Most of the time keep it on medium battery saver. Not sure why I have a battery case that can charge the more than device twice. I'm a power user and my house has ****ty signal so it does a number on my battery.
