Here is mine - Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 battery life test
http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/06/samsung-galaxy-s4-octacore-review/
strangely enough engadget reports that the quad core snapdragon version gets better battery life :S
for some reason i have terrible screen on time, cant really get to 2.5 hrs.
iv noticed that apps has more battery than my screen..
ill upload some more pics after i deplete the battery tnite. like sometimes chrome's (50%)and even the battery manager(5%) takes a lot of usage.
leads me to think its a cpu problem it was overheating before i installed latest firmware from xxuamde to xxuamdl, im going to try xxuamdk i heard that one fixed issues....
thanks guys

Been using i9500 for few days now, cycle charged for a few times. I found that the battery life has improved significantly. Of course, made some adjustments to settings like, WiFi off when device is sleeping, off all sensors including GPS, battery safe mode with cpu speed limit..
Using the phone for reading mostly, a little candy crushing and phone calling...
Still waiting to see if it can do better than 5 hours screen on time...
p.s, the first day i used was having 3.5hours of screen on time from 100% to below 10%..
Weird without tweaking or touching anything from first charge I got 5hrs screen on time with a day uptime. I'm lucky I guess

@Moderators: Merge ?
Have to say battery life is a HUGE let down. I get about 11hrs out of it with about 4.5 hours screen on time. Only browsing the web, no video or music streaming.
I'm gonna sell it for the quad core Nexus version just announced.

I'm getting up to 24 hours usage - medium to light use. Almost 5 hours display on time. I know though that it will drop slightly lower if I do more intensive tasks with my phone. I'm satisfied with it. Plus, the fact that the charging time is just a little over 2 hours from 5% to 100%... I think its pretty amazing.

Max 16h. This is something wrong with this firmware. HC was much better battery life

This is a dumb statement. Literally no one else on the board has relayed anything even close to this, yet to you its the firmware?
Your anecdotal experience isn't the rule of thumb. YOU are having a problem, not the FW package.
stop it.. ics in my tab seems to last longer.. And muchh much much smooother... It's been 2 days my tab active and online 3g and wifi. Brightness around 50%. Not rooted.

This version does not significantly improve battery

i got 34 hours with wifi and gps on.. while i stop the mobile data.
Seems like you are having problems with deepsleep, could you install CPU spy, and verify the time in each frequency, specially when the screen is off?
Comparing absolutes battery time is kind of lame, is like saying you car last 20 days with 5l of gas.

I'm running HyperDrive RLS 5 with the stock kernel and like the features but I am on my phone a lot and my battery is suffering. I've seen people getting 20+hours of battery life on their S3 with 3 to 4 hours of screen time. Right now I'm at 7 and half hours with 2 and a half hours of screen time. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, text, and phone calls. I'd like to keep with the phone but I have an upgrade and may jump ship. What Roms and kernel combos are you running that are yielding this stellar battery life I hear of? Please help before I do something brash and get a Motorola or even worse an iPhone, ugh!. Thanks guys!
I run Carbon ROM +Ktoonz. I regularly get 4 hours of screen time.
My best battery life was from Synergy +Ziggy or Lean or Ktoonz. I got 5 hours of screen time.
iPhones have crap battery life, with no option to expand battery, undervolt, or underclock. How would that help you? You also can't freeze apps, make screen off profiles, etc. That's like getting a Dodge because your Honda wasn't reliable enough for you.

Clean ROM and lean kernel does wonders for me
Device idle puts my at about 80% with very little use.
Battery will last all day with very very heavy use.

Thanks for the input, gonna give the ktoonsez kernel a spin. Hopefully this helps. PS I'd never go to an iPhone. I like technology not toys. #teamdroid

I have this set up but I feel as though I'm getting iffy battery life. I keep my screen pretty dim and am on consistent wifi 100% of the day with mobile data off, no games or any CPU intensive tasks, and I get maybe 15 or 16 hours of battery life with 2-3 hours of screen time. Perhaps that is good though? I keep seeing people write about 24 hour battery life and I just don't see how.
That's pretty good. Screen on is the most important stat. You could not touch it, put it in airplane mode and boast about how many hours. I would assume some of those people are forgetting to mention they have extended batteries or are charging at some point.

Depends on your screen on time ! .. If you were using your phone for 4+ hours and got 35% its pretty good! .

On screen time would involve you having your phone on o.o if you got 6 hours of on screen time with a quad processor running and still have 35% left that's amazing battery life .. Maybe try saving your battery by cutting down on brightness and stuff that eats power

Hello there,
I noticed that my battery really doesn't last long. It's been 100% full and now, 4 1/2 hours later, there are only 6% left. The weird thing about that is that I did not really used it during that time. WLAN has been turned on over that time, display was really dark, no backlight notifications or anything. Has anyone any idea how to fix this? (LG P940)

can you give more info
can you give more info? info like- which android, how many mah (ex: 2000,1000). give that and i may be able to help you,...
Would be really awesome! Android version is 4.2.2, battery has about 1500mah (think it's 1540) and I'm using the cyanogenmod kernel. Do you need any more information?

Thats not really much of a battery for the hardware,.. how old is it? Is this a recent problem, and when did you flash to CyanogenMod ?
To me it sounds like something is draining the battery pretty hard. Is the Wi-fi signal stable? Any processes under Apps>All, using excessive memory?
To me it sounds like you are having wifi/gps/bluetooth on all time, and if not, you should close ALL apps next time. Some running apps on your background could even drown your battery from 100% to 0% in less than 2 hours. Big apps or games cause the most trouble

If this phone/battery is more than one and half year old, this could be just battery dying, like mine (LG P920, 2 years old, 1500mAh) is dying right now.
It can't last more than 6 hours lately, so i bought a new one.
A li-ion battery (standard models) just can handle frome 300 to 500 charging cycles, thus if tou charge your phone every day, battery life has about 18 months lifetime.
After, it just dies, more or less slowly.
Thank you all so far.
Bought the phone 1/2 year ago so this can't really be the problem. The battery has never been great but got worse about a month ago. I flashed it about 2 weeks ago and this didn't seem to influence the battery.
I always keep GPS and Bluetooth turned off (only turning GPS on when I go running, but I never noticed that this influences the battery either) and Wi-fi is pretty stable. As I heard that Wi-fi is really bad for the battery I tried turning it off as much as possible and so far it seems a bit better.
I also took a look at how much memory the apps use and saw that Facebook, Kingsoft Office and Whatsapp really need a lot. I think I will uninstall Facebook and KS Office then and see if this helps.

I presume you bought it new ("and sealed")?
Maps used to be a big problem for me running in the background. See which apps use Maps.
Yep, I got it completely new.
Okay, I'll check that, thanks.

Also problem with battery
I had a similar problem, my battery got "sick" after I used my phone as a GPS during 2 or 3 days. the phone was quit warm during the navigation. After that The battery life was reduced from around a day to 9-10 hours. In addition when battery is around 20%, the phone just shut down due low-battery and as soon I turn it on, as soon it turns off!
The solution was to buy a new battery, but that is odd that using the phone as GPS navigator damages the battery so badly!
Btw, my phone is a HTC desire w/ Android 4.2
yah now i may be able to help you, download the antutu battery saver app from google (it requires root) it is a really good app and helped he last
my battery from 3 hrs to 7 1/2 hrs. if you don't have root access, then it is a prob. if you don't have, tell me and i will give you another solution which

Soo I finally put the battery through a full day of use and I must say that it does not live up to being a 3360mah battery, with that being said @ $26, it does hold up for about the same time as stock so I'll continue to use it as a back up. If I had to make this purchase again I wouldnt. You can get 2 anker batteries for the same price and they will last the same...
Here are some screenshots of my usage. I've been on wifi most of the time and about 3 hours or so on 3g. My usage involved lots of facebook, whatsapp, frequent web browsing using boat browser, a few youtube vids and a couple short calls...

Damn for $26, you're better off returning it and getting ones from Anker. You get two with Anker or Hyperion

Seems worse than OEM battery to me. With autobrightness, I've been able to surpass 5 hrs screen-on time with the stock battery.
