Extended battery. Lol sorry that didn't really answer your question. What rom are you using currently and what's your battery life like?

How much of an improvement is that over the regular SR battery in terms of battery time?

Need some help with identifying what's causing this.

This started today and I haven't downloaded any new apps plus I'm using better battery stats but I don't seem to understand what the data means any one out there that can help me out here I'd be most appreciative I need to get the battery down to normal.

Looks like something is keeping your Wi-Fi on it at least that's what I can see. Is something syncing in the background?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Try modifying the Wi-Fi sleep policy in the advanced settings in Wi-Fi, change it to shut Wi-Fi off when device goes to sleep. If that doesn't fix it try a different home launcher, I noticed touch wiz launcher is heavy on the battery
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I don't think it's touchwiz. I use touchwiz and I get 30+ hours battery life with 5-7 hours screen on time all the time.
You may have like a rogue app constantly connecting to WiFi or GPS or something.

GB MIUI for SGS4G

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if this phone had a Gingerbread MIUI ROM, rather than 4.0 (like HebMIUI). I really dig the older MIUI and just wanted to know if that sort of thing was available for our model.
Thanks!

Ya its called miui revenge. Just goto the dev section and scroll down its pretty far down but its there.

Thanks! Looks s if it was abandoned back in June and had horrible battery life. I wonder if there was any more development for it afterwards...

Hopefully, we'll slay this SoD issue on CM9 Aries and all sorts of awesome ports will start coming in.

The bml version got pretty good battery life. It was the newest release if that rom that got bad battery life.

There was another miui for gb besides revenge i believe.

Thanks! Did it have any issues, though? The last time I tried flashing MIUI on this phone ( forever ago), there was a problem with silent ringer and notification tones.

The newest MTD builds of miui do not have those issues. Battery life is pretty good also.

Judging ROM battery life

Just wondered how long I should let a ROM settle before forming an opinion on its battery life? Thanks guys always get the best answers here.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I usually give a ROM anywhere from 2-5 battery cycles before I truly judge battery performance.

Compared to the original battery, this is doing Great job. The original have me about a day and half at most with normal usage. Gaming, texting, Internet etc. The Anker battery was charged last night at 9pm and disconnected all night long. Currently stands at 85%. More to come.

It might be thick, but weight distribution is awesome, and I can handle it better now.

Wow, that's pretty outstanding...auto brightness on and that much screen on time. Could you possibly test a full days use on 25% brightness?
I may have to pick up a extended battery at this rate...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
I think I'll wait for the Zero Lemon 7000mah. I normally get 5hrs on screen time on stock battery with about 7% remaining, so the Anker only looks like it would give me about a 20% boost. I guess that's still not bad for the price point though.
So ive been using this battery for about 4 days now and the results are pretty good...im a heavy user and I got throught almost 2 days without charging with everything that could drain my power on

So far im lovin this battery! Around 5 hrs of screen time, downloaded a few apps, played some games, chatted on viber, checked email, browsed websites.
