Hi guys, so 2 days ago I rooted my phone and I flashed a new radio. Ever since my battery has been terrible. It dies really quick and it takes time to charge and no it is not the chargers fault. Here are some pics to tell u guys further.

Looks like you correctly uploaded a screen shot! ..... Sure, it's correct! ......
Sorry my battery stats. I'm coming from the razr hd and I know the razr has 2500, but this seems to drop like crazy

How much screen time is the key, even on WiFi. Screen kills this battery. Appears like you have a LOT of on time.

What's your point? Most phones last way shorter than that. Be lucky that it lasted that long! Unless you have a maxx or somethine, this is really good battery life.
If you're not satisfied with the battery life order an extended battery, I just got my Anker 4400mah battery today and so far I'm loving it! The extra bulk actually makes it easier to hold and use the phone.

You charged your phone a bunch of times.

I had a maxx so maybe I'm used to that. My last phone was a razr hd. Here is right now with 18 min.screen time. While sending this it has dropped to 68. If this is normal let me know. I may have to go back to razr hd. I'm on stock but thinking about cyanogen.

What's your screen brightness level? You can't have it at 60-100% plus all the crap I see is running and expect out of this world battery life. A ROM change isn't going to help you there.
EDIT: Look at your awake time compared to your screen on time, whatever all those apps you have running are, they're eating up your battery, check mine out below. You really need to stop a lot of that stuff from running all the time, your battery life will increase exponentially.

My screen is like at 20%. I keep it that low all the time. I'll post a picture of what's running

Something is draining your battery, like mentioned maybe rogue app, like wolf put it best.try rescan media, it'll help.I have a 2200mah anker battery.vs stock.I run plenty of apps no power saver options on.
Also no I don't do bump charging, this is off one straight charge

All that red in your signal line really kills the battery too. The phone is constantly pinging looking for a signal that but can't find. At least is my non-technical understanding.
A new radio may help. Or putting the phone in airplane mode when you are in a bad area

Why did you charge so many times? Running the battery down most of the way then fully charging tends to keep your batteries stronger longer.

This probably has been posted, any who. Has anybody gotten another battery? If so from where? Cause I've seen the ones on amazon are like. $10, and Samsung sells them for $40. So if anybody can point me where to buy a replacement battery, I'll be thankful. My battery drains without usage.. it doesn't matter if it has NFC BTW.

Wasn't offering to "sell" them. They are junk. Would of tossed you one. Lasts about 3-4 hours. And that's every battery I've used that was not official Samsung.

Seems to work. It's now finishing charging. Will see how the batterry will last then... previously it lasted 2 days and few hours with more than normal use and I charged it thru USB cable connected to my PC.
Charging takes about 2 hours or more just as my x26i did.
Please answer according to your experience with battery life
How many hours of screen on time you get until you have to charge?
And when you get pass 3h of screen on time (like checking email texting lite use of chrome, etc ) what percent your battery is at ?

Man is this a survey or something.
I've had this one about 6 months. I had my first one for over a year (had a microphone issue and had it replaced) and had about the same battery life. Compared to my old phone that only lasted 10 hours with less than 2 hour screen time, I am happy.

It's not just you. There's a good handful of threads already on this topic. And dozens of tech sites have already wrote about it. So hopefully a fix is in the works.
