Battery life thread for Galaxy S4 (All models). Upload yours now! - Galaxy S 4 General

I have a Galaxy S4 SHV-E330S currently running Official 4.4.2 and only gets 3:30 mins of screen time on my phone. I lose around a percent of battery life every two hours. This is really terrible for me as it is very low compared to other S4 models considering I have the Snapdragon 800 processor, so it's supposed to have more efficient battery life, please post screen shots of your battery usage and screen time as well and the firmware you are currently running. Please indicate the specific model of your S4. Thanks!

Please post your updates, I'll be adding my screenshots soon.

Here are my screenies:

See the thread in my signature about battery life. See if any of those tips help you improve your battery life.

There is nothing wrong with your screen on time. 3h30m is normal. And losing 1% every 2h? Come on that's really good. That's like 8,3 days standby time.....

Thanks for the post, sir. What's your screen time and what model do you have. i'ma. Bit disappointed because in gsmarena's review, it says S4 is supposed to have 10 hrs of battery life while browsing the internet. And i'm only reaching about 30% of it!

I have an i9505. 10 hours browsing is impossible to achieve. Maybe they mean browsing with your screen off

Impressive Battery Life?

Hey everyone, I have now had my Nexus S for 3 days and have loved every minute of it.
One of the things that has surprised me is the battery life. Check it out:

I still have 39% battery after two days! This is really amazing I think. Granted I only had 2 phone calls in that time but I have been texting a lot and playing around with settings.
How long does your battery last and do you have any tips on improving battery life?
I am running CM7.1 with Go Launcher Ex and have the brightness set on very low plus I don't use screen orientation switch either.
What is your screen on time?

I use matr1x kernel wich has the best batterylife for me, but i still have to recharge every day...

I run it completely stock and unrooted, and get about a day with average use. By far the best smart phone I have owned.
Matrix or Trinity seem to give the best battery life.

Sorry I don't know how to find screen on time.
I put my phone on charge after 2 days 22 hours and it was still on 19% but I charged it to be safe because I am expecting a very important phone call.
Calculating data regarding battery stats using morfic TEUV-S22-05102011, you could reach around 80 hours with cell connected but having very little activity.
Same place as that pic but click on display that will have shown display on time

That's still impressive battery life.
For the people on matrix or trinity kernel, how long is your battery lasting you off charger? And how heavy of a user are you? Just curious been messing around trying to get it over a day :/

[Q] Help..My G pro 2 battery drains incredibly...

Hi,
My new Lg G Pro 2 stay at most 5 hours....
I can see strange battery stats from time to stay and collecting battery info..
one time I see +100 hours and many times I see 4 hours to stay..
I did everything.. wiped it many times and flashed the correct kdz through my imei and nothing changed..
I'm still on kitkat hongkong..
rom version v10d..
thanks
which app is using the most battery % when you check in the settings?
if it's varying that wildly, it sounds like media indexing or something similar.
nothing abnormal i assure u...
If nothing abnormal in battery stats , your battery gone bad. Replace and see
purchased a new one still the same problem
I think this is due to that the battery usage settings is based on the 3-hour usage pattern.

If you leave it on standby for 3 hours then check the estimated time remaining, it would give really high numbers.
If you use it heavily for the past 3 hours, it would show low time remaining.
I Charegd It to 100% and slept..when i waked up next day I found it 80% without any usage....

i'm currently getting 2-3 hours of SOT. not very good. right now i'm at 1h and 55min with 35% battery left. i took it off the charger at 9am and it's 4:15pm now. going to have to charge again before bed tonight. cant wait to get that extra battery. so far this battery life has been bad.
part of me wonders if LG knew this so that's why they are offering an extra battery promotion.
First cycle. I have been having mixed usage. Auto brightness LTE only. I'm at 5 hrs 25 SOT. I'm pretty happy with battery life. Phone is great so far. Way better than my old G4.
Once I get my second battery it will be more than adequate for my needs. I travel a lot for work so I'll report back how the phone does while in the air.

Day 4
This is day 4 with my g5. Everything is running fine except for my battery life. Here's some screen shots of what mine is doing. As you see I don't have a lot of time with total battery usage before I have to charge it again. Screen is the top usage but my battery life is poor. I don't know how to fix it. I could disable a ton of services but then what would be the use of me having this phone if I have to cripple it? It's sad.
My first day of use. Everything syncing OK Google always on is off and so is ambient display.

I wish. Then I would have a reason for the bad battery life. The only intensive thing that I have been doing is Snapchat and Facebook and YouTube videos and ESPN videos.

So I'm not the only one with really high "phone idle". Haven't been able to track that one down. I even disabled the Always-On screen just in case it was related.
I also get significant (like half the battery in 7hrs) drain from Google Maps. I left my phone unplugged over night and it ate through the battery at some point. Second time it's popped up.

Terrible Battery Life on Comparison to Others. Suggestions?.

WTF is going on with my battery? I have the S7 Flat snapdragon version (G930v) running the G930u software unrooted which removes all carrier bloat. Screen brightness is set to a little past half way. I have all setting provided by stock software optimized for maximum battery life other than running AOD. I am running a black Wallpaper/Lockscreen/ and an All black theme from the Theme Engine.. Wth hell is going on here. My battery time is looking Rediculous in comparison. Someone help me out here.

I feel asleep around 3am I guess with 89% and woke up just now close to 11. Heres battery over that 8hr period. 5% during that time. Standby drain is not bad it seems. But only 10hrs on 100% is crazy low compared to what some of you guys are getting.
End of Trial:
What can I do to get this increased.?

Is the same problem present with the phones original firmware? What you call bloat may very well be needed adaptions.
Urs is mutch better the what i get, mine drains 40% over night ..

Auto brightness and location on power saving.

Screen on time

It's amazing how much we actually use our phones in a given day, especially when we watch "videos"! Rate this thread to express how many hours of screen-on time you can get on the Samsung Galaxy Note FE before depleting the battery.
Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!
Ok

I will say I have roughly the same battery usage stats. I’m getting roughly 1-1.2% per hour on idle and 15% per hour screen on.
I usually have a mix of WiFi on and off, location set to device only, sync on, no BT, no AOD and usually 4G with 3-4 bars reception.
What I find to be severely draining is travelling fast, like driving. It’ll easily drain 5 per cent per hour.

I find that turning Google Location History OFF in the settings improves battery life.
Looks like this thread as gone quiet, the battery life on the Note FE has dropped quite sharply since moving on to Oreo. Mainly cause by the cell-standby time.
However, from the looks of it (without root). The options are quite limited, especially if you have recently updated to the latest. It moves Binary 3, and Knox will not allow to downgrade to a previous version. Flashing a Binary 1 (Nougat) radio will end up your phone showing "baseband unknown".
Mostly on Wifi. Moderate use (and lots of YouTube).
5h+ a day
I'm often turning on meduim power saving mode and it's not limiting my device's performance or any thing.
It may last about 4 to 5 with power saving mode turned off. Of course all of this is on FHD resolution i haven't tested WQHD resolution yet.
