I have noticed that the things that waists the most battery is cell stand by, much more than the screen.
What can I do? Is it normal?

after rooting the phone, when i check on my battery usage, it suprised me that the main battery usage is not standby anymore. instead, it says 80% on display, but i didn't use the phone that much today and the battery drops pretty fast. alot worse than before root. anyone know what happens?
I noticed that in the Battery Usage the display is always first with a really great percentage, BUT if you use Spare Parts you will see the normal usage.
So, I think it's just a bug.
My battery is better than before actually!
My battery life is much worse actually, I think i have the 020 root, not sure, as in my phone settings it says FW 020. I thought id downloaded the 023 root though...

My battery seems better but I just noticed something, the little battery graph on top of the phone, there are 5 stages if I remember correctly (5/5 being full and 0/5 being mostly empty). So math wise, under 80% it should display the battery at 3/5 full, mine is at 70% and displays 4/5 full, is sony trying to screw us or did I do something wrong?
I'm curious if anyone else is having an insane battery drain just from Using the screen. this is my first Android device after switching from an iPhone so I'm not sure if it's normal but with auto brightness I still get 60-80 percent battery drain. I have a Us AT&T version of the S4.
Having a 5 inch 1080p screen will be the biggest battery drainer on the phone currently im getting 3-4 hour screen on time which imo is amazing

If you're looking in the battery stats then yes, the screen always consumes the most battery out of everything.
Its when an app consumes more battery then your screen you've got some problems.
Its really not insane battery drain, its normal if your screen is on all the time. think of a laptop that s not plugged in it will go for days or hours sitting closed with the screen off but still on but with the screen on it draws a lot of power and your battery life soon goes down to 4 hours.
The percentage it is telling you is also misinterpreted. Its not telling you that 60%-80% of your battery is consumed by the screen
Basically if your battery is at 80% and its saying 80% of the battery is used by the screen its telling you that so far out of the 20% currently used of the battery 80% was by the screen and 2% by facebook and 6% by browser ect.

Screens have always been the biggest drain on a mobile device (laptops included). If you want to minimize this (even though it is absolutely normal) you can try going to the Power Saver settings and enabling the "use low power Screen" or something along those lines. I've set that on mine, noticed a bit of a life increase, haven't seen any difference in the screen... so seems like a win-win situation.
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

While I love the battery life on this phone, the weak part of the phone is the camera's battery drainage. It drains 1% a minute and compared to other phones I have used (normally 2.5-3 PM) this is waaay too high! anyway to help the battery life stay with the camera?

Recently, my XT1575 has been suffering from extreme battery issues. First, my phone battery would last about 6h but die (screen turns off with absolutely no warning). Recently however, my phone will last around 3-4 hours before dying. I was running the same flash of AICP before and after the issue developed, and have now switched to crDroid to see if the issue would be fixed, but it was not. I have included a screenshot of my battery graph by the end of the day. Please note that the gaps between the parts in the graph were only about 2-5min in real life, but show up as significantly longer in the graph for some reason. One thing I have noticed is as if the battery completed flat lines when it is not in use. It is almost as if it is forgetting to count down the battery so it thinks it has more battery than it actually has, but something lower level in the phone knows it doesn't have that much so it shuts down. Any ideas?
