the 1positive with mine so far is the battery. i go all day (12-14hrs) with moderate use and still have 30% charge when i plug it in.
That's terrible. You got an app freaking out. I noticed a huge drop in battery life when I put on a different sms app.

Install better battery stats.....maps and partial wakelocks seems to be killing you battery. BBS would give u a better indication of whats eating your battery

Not sure what the issue is yet, I was charging my phone. Now I took it off the charger and have better battery stats installed. I will monitor it and let you know.

Held awake for 3 hours because your screen was on for almost that long. Right?

one thing that really kills this battery is the setting under location access "wifi and mobile network location" if you have that enabled google services keep the phone awake and drain the battery. I disabled that and my battery last so much longer now.
Well guys, something is still eating my battery alive. I went to bed with over 40% battery and I woke up with 7% left.
Here are my screenshots from better battery stats. Can anyone figure out what's eating me alive?

NLP-Network Location Process-seems to be your biggest issue. My best bet would be settings>accounts>Google>google+>location

I wasn't signed into Google+, so hopefully turning off the setting above will help. Thanks!

Yeah, good tip. If that doesnt work, go to Maps and disable history and location reporting as well. Might want to disable Wifi and mobile network location under the global location settings as well. This prevents other programs from eating up battery trying to access location when GPS is off. Restart your phone after diasbling any of these, then check battery life
Ok guys, here is how my battery has been doing since I made the changes that everyone suggested. Am I in good shape?

Lol nice. The only complaint that I have about this is that I had to turn off every single location based setting in the phone. I've never had to do that on my previous phones. It never drained like this on my S4 with those settings on.
The root of my complaint is that I can't even get weather updates on my widget because it is all turned off. And I always like to have the weather widget on my main screen. Which single setting can I turn on to get weather updates? I will leave the other ones off.

Power management wakelocks in the kernel is a placeholder for partial wakelocks. Look at the partial wakelock list for details. I had a terrible *backup* partial wakelock that had a start count of 3000 within 8 hrs!!! It was killing my bat. Check yours, it might be that same if its not the location wakelocks acting up again
This is from today. Im rooted, but turned off greenify and wakelock terminator for these stats. Only thing disabled is carrier IQ. I normally get around 4 hours SOT. While that sounds good, its nothing to compared to some stats i see posted. I have knockOn disabled, only use wifi and nfc. No locations or bluetooth.

I do nine of this nonsense and can get 48 hours+ battery life with normal usage

One thing I noticed is the INSANE amount of wakelocks from the phone app

Disabling stuff and this obsession with monitoring every single thing, I do none of that, I use my device like a normal person and get awesome battery life!

Had the phone just 2 days and noticed that the Android System is taking most of battery. I am managing 3.5 hours on full brightness. I am happy with that but I am wondering why the Android System is taking up so much. Any ideas?

I'd love to know this as well since it also takes the most ram. My S3 was, sadly, more efficient.

It's not a huge problem for me as the battery is still good. I just want to know what could cause it.

Also, when leaving over night. It went down 1% an hour. Is that good?
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I'd say so. You must not have very many background processes. Have you turned off bloatware?

Check your battery stats, mine uses 10-15% in an hour...
Autobrightness or manual?
(please, don't tell me 100% brightness...)

Autobrightness on... also the lights of my buttonss don't turn off even if I set it to 1.5 seconds, the only way to fix it is enabling ultra P saving For a moment. .but when I reboot the phone, the problem is back

Mobile data always uses more battery than wifi. It is a known issue. Something to do with signal strength the more weaker the signal the more battery drain.
Afaik.

Sorry, but the problem is excessive data usage for android os and Google services. Like 200mb per day.

Sorry for being late. turn off your sync. Turn automatic app updates off and if possible do a hard reset. And yes as said above 3G usage or being idle drains battery at greater extent. Being always on 3G will last your battery about 6 hrs. Try for hard reset this might work as it worked for me. All the best.
