You may register on xda and discuss this issue in the [i9500][4.4.2] CyanogenMod 11.0 Discussion thread.
Or check alternative CM11 based ROMs, such as [GearCM][i9500][4.4.x] Optimized CyanogenMod 11 for Samsung Galaxy S4 [20141227v2], which claims to have better battery life.
But most of the time, such hugh battery drain is caused by an app ... not the ROM or kernel.
To find the culprit, you can install and use a battery stats app, such as Better Battery Stats (BBS) from Play store.
There is also an app thread for it on xda.
With root access, it can show you detailed information about the battery stats, the wakelocks and alarms, etc.
You can also create a dumpfile, upload it and ask in the app thread, if one of the "experts" can help to analyze it. I am sure tah you will get some helpful advices how to optimize your battery life.
Thread closed. Thank you.

Hi folks,
since some days my battery drives me crazy...
Last week i flashed CM10 by nk111. Nice ROM, but my battery lasted only for some hours with normal usage. So I went back to MIUI...problem stayed.
Yesterday I flashed Jellytime and replaced the battery. The problem stayed as well. At 6 pm battery was full, I restored my apps with Titanium, used it a bit and when I was going to bed at 10 p.m. battery was 81%. Getting up at 5:30 this morning --> battery was 41%.
After the battery was full yesterday night I used display for maybe 10 minutes, why there are 36% battery usage by th display?
WTF happened to my system by flashing CM10 by nk111???
Any help is appreciated!
PS:
Baseband-Version: 20.72.30.0833U_3831.17.00.310
Kernel-Version: 3.0.50-g6ea80e4
First, do you have Google now on. It really drains the battery. If that doesn't help install better battery stats and let it go through a couple of cycles, it will help you pinpoint if any apps or wakelocks are draining your battery.

I don't use Google Now. I use the same apps withe the same intensity than in better battery times...
Could you please give me a recommendation for a battery stats tool?
Thanks!

Use the search, you'll find it in both xda and playstore it's called better battery stats

app called carat could also help you find the battery sucking thing. It's a bit more simple than battery stats, you'll like it if you're not an expert.
it doesn't need to be a new app that is sucking power, it could be the poorly made update of some app that you're using for a long time.
I installed both apps.
But in both I can't find any kind of statistics about consumed power by apps or something similar, am I that stupid?

Bbs needs to run for at least a full battery cycle to give you a clear picture, if recommend running it for at least a day

I get max 24 hours battery life , sometimes 12 hours , so it's not something to worry. If you speak 2-3 hours and WiFi on another 2-3 hours that is the battery în my case 12 hours max.

IT IS something to worry, cause battery behaviour changed dramatically while I didn't change my usage of the phone.
40% battery loss over night should be a clear indication of abnormal behaviour.

you must run carot a day or two, than it will display some apps on the first page and the approximate battery life you get if you kill them. read the manual also..
Yesterday in the evening I realized a 96% entry in the Partial Wavelocks section - AndroidMediaScanner. I freezed it (I know where my pictures and music is located...), did a full load on the battery and for 4 hours the battery remained at 100%. I really thought the problem is solved...but in the morning...31%
But - the 'Media' entry in the android accu stats is gone, I think this is a partial success.
In the BBS app, there is no remarkable value - the biggest is 3,8%.
When I watch the graphs - WiFi and Awake is nearly completetly blue over the whole night (unfortunately, I can't take screenshots right now for any reason).
I'm a bit helpless right now, will charge the phone now and keep an eye on BBS the next hours/days.
androidmediascanner shouldn't be the bad guy, it's a system app that we all have. maybe your battery is the problem...

I inserted a new battery last week without any change. Don't think both batteries are broken.
The common way to solve this is to do a fresh install. Leave it for a day without any apps yo see if it is ROM related. See if the battery life improve. Install one app per day and monitor your phone awake period with screen on, it should be almost same.

Yesterday night I made a full wipe, installed Jellytime and Gapps and went to sleep...
In the morning --> 67%.
Very odd, normally this would probably indicating a defect battery, but it is new!
Maybe a hardware defect?
Maybe RRU Problem?
Hi,
I have a similar problem here. I was using the desire s for a long timne with stock rom (2.x android), a full battery was enough for ~2 days. Then I rooted the device and installed CM10 (NK111 alpha build).
2 things changed:
The battery is empty after 24h or less.
The wireless network is worse than before. This is my subjective impression but there are places at home or in the office where wifi worked before and stopped working.
I'm starting excessive tests (disabling everything, removing apps, running carat) during xmas holidays to find the reason.
My guess what it might be: to root the device I did a downgrade, including a radio downgrade. Now I run baseband 20.23.30.0802U_38.02.01.11 which is known as "Saga Test RUU" and has the lowest version number of the RRUs listed in the forum. I did not found anything about this in the forum or with google but maybe this is the reason.
My average battery stats with normal use (whole day, used the phone a few minutes):
~30% Display
~25% Wifi
~17% Mobile Standby
~5% Android Os
For comparison, my Motorola Defy has in a similar scenario ~5% Wifi and ~3% Mobile Standby
I came into this all wrong. All I ever wanted was to increase my battery life through longer percentages of phone idle and standby and prolonging draining of my batter when in use since every few minuets I'm on the internet 1-2% drops....JUST USING THE INTERNET. I've heard stories of people who have had two days standby and increased battery when on certain roms such as sky-jellybean. I thought flashing a different rom would fix my battery life but I was wrong. After reading stickies and flashing countless roms, I'm still frustrated. If anyone has a solution, I would most appreciate it.

There is a whole battery life help thread. Screen time on is really what to look for. Problems with stand bye time are more an issue of wake locks. Those can be seen using better battery stats. I am currently at 25 hrs since charge with 1 hr screen time on and 53% battery using MIUI 12-7

Of late, I have been having heavy drain of battery on my Atrix 2. I am running JB 4.1.2 (672.300.404.ME865.Retail.en.05). Trying to troubleshoot it (including recalibration) since the last few days without luck.
The symptoms...
- Sudden shut down - Have had 50%+ charge levels. Goes down to 5% and shuts down within minutes. (You can see the random drops in the charge levels in the pic)
- Completely drained out battery charges from above 40% when plugged in & charges to 100% in no time. (that 67% charge in the attachment is within 5 mimutes of power plug in)
Does the battery need a replacement?

Try changing battery... even i had same problem with Custom rom. Battery used to last only for 10 to 12 hours but now its more than 17 hours on JB 4.1.2 leak,,,,...Use stock rom. and remove any unncessesary apps and installl ROM again if u want :good:
How old is your Atrix 2? If over a year then battery surely begins to give lesser performance. Disable any other task killer / memory manager & just let OS do its thing. See if installing Media Scan disable from play helps & do not keep using random chargers, make use of original charger as received with phone. Finally see Better Battery Stats. It is said battery stats should never be wiped but see if it helps you and finally search for Apex's better battery life guide for many handy tips.
I disabled notifications, sync, froze higher wakelock apps & my battery life improved a bit but then it is no fun existing in a bare bones environment.

The phone is just about a year and half old. The drop in battery performance is just too drastic, sometimes it doesn't even last an hour after the charge. Will try to go back to original ROM and see if it improves else will probably have to go for a new battery pack.

Look like a battery problem to me its not the ROM but anyways turn off location services and wifi they are a big battery drainer
Use 2G when u dont need high speed.......
Try this app called Greenify https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify
(it helps to reduce wakelocks and improves your battery life)
:laugh: Let me know if it helped (btw chck your battery and see if its defected they are amny ways to chck it read up the forums )
i have the same problem whit any rom of 4.2. when the custom rom shows 5% i change to stock ics rom an that show me 45%

Think mine is clearly a battery issue. Replaced the battery with a new one yesterday and now the phone lasts 6 hrs at least on a single charge.
CM 10.1.3
I couldn't write to developer's forum so I'm asking here.
I've recently firmwared my AT&T A2 CM 10.1.3 and battery drains really fast! The previous build was CM 10.1 (25th of June). I wiped cache and dalvik cache and firmwared CM 10.1.3. At least 3 people report that thie batteries on this ROM drain slow.
What did I do wrong???

Battery life varies so much from user to user that it is impossible to answer your question without A LOT more information.
Go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
Download the app and follow the directions in the op. That and reading through that thread itself should tell you everything you need to know about what is using up your battery.
That being said, everyone has different habits and expectations when it comes to their battery. What one person says is good battery life, another will likely say is bad. So just keep in mind that there is not a right or wrong, just what is right or wrong for you.
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.
Thank you fro your answer. When I used previous version of CM the battery lasted 3 days with minimal using and turning the flight mode at night on.
As long as I installed newer version with JBX kernel the battery lasts 20 hrs max.
Power Tutor says that the most hungry apps are Android System and Kernel
I wanted to know that what is the average life of a 1700mah battery ?
I have this phone, solo one, its lollipop, 1/GB ram , 1.3 GHz quad core with a 4.3 screen .
Its battery is draining very quickly. If I surf over 3g it can barely give me 2 hrs,gaming is worse, only an hour I think. I turned on WiFi and turned my phone into a hotspot and in 5 minutes 10 % was gone. Is this usual for this kind of battery? Also, when I run cpu-z , of shows my battery capacity as just 1000 mah . is it a bug or am I fooled ?
At the time of starting to write this , my battery was 46% now it is 42%.
When I went to service centre they just said that my battery has passed the "test".
Please help me.......
Hi
There is no such thing as average battery life.
Unusual battery drain can be caused by faulty firmware,phone or battery .
Try factory resting phone and see if it solves your problem.
Also check this thread for battery saving tips.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1969741
If the issue persists ,you can post in general Q/A for better help form peers.

Good day !
Two applications to download and use and save lots of battery life, and give a lot of performance boost is:
Go Battery Saver
Clean Master
Just search on Google play
Hope this helps

And I have answered it. There is no such thing as average battery life .
A poor firmware with memory leaks can give abysmal battery life like yours.
Same thing if you have a poor battery or some defect in phone.
I had suggested a factory reset to rule out one possibility of faulty firmware.
There could be background services eating off your data and battery .
I have listed the thread by Woody about batteries and statistics.
You can read and analyze your battery usage yourself ,to find out the culprit.
Also ,there is a duplicate thread in General Q/A section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/usual-1700-mah-battery-phone-t3082945
I will mark this thread as completed and close it
The discussion can continue in the thread in General Section.
I have had tons of issues with Kitkat ever since the update. And I recently rooted and installed the Xposed framework to get Amplify, which I donated to limit wakelocks. Which I did. And Standby times are pretty good. Only lost around 8% overnight. But even after calibrating, keeping brightness very low, turning off motion and using TB to freeze most of the system's draining apps. But it still doesn't help when I can only get around 2 hours of screen on time. Every time I check battery usage and such, It is either screen (which of course is normal) and Android System. Which claims in battery stats, that the apps I disabled still drained my battery when they weren't creating wakelocks.
I disabled (froze) things like KNOX and the Verizon software updater (Because let's face it, Verizon doesn't care about the GS3 and neither does Samsung. We won't get any updates.) and they still drain my battery. No matter what I do, my screen on time is also horrible! And whenever data is on, I always get 3x worse battery life. Despite being in 4G with 3 or 5 bars at ALL times.
I have no clue if it is just something deep down like the systemui that is causing it, or if i need to rename a certain system file with a *.bak extension. Or if it is strictly my battery in general.
Any **Help** is greatly appreciated.
Still no response, but I will say I disabled at least half of the phones apps and services, but I still cannot manage to get more than an hour and a half of screen on time. Standby times are still pretty good though. Only lose 5% overnight.

I would suggest installing Better Battery Stats to see which apps are causing the drain. Many then use that information to get the best use from Amplify, Greenify, and possibly PowerNap. Amplify will help most with standby times. The other two will help with standby and in sue battery drain.
There is a link to a helpful thread about standby battery times in the Amplify thread OP. See the reference to the thread by Celestial Fury. There is a link to the Battery Battery Stats thread in the Celestial Fury thread. The BBS dev has provided a free version for XDAers.
This is a thread similar to the one by Celestial Fury, it discusses PowerNap.
EDIT: I have a vague recollection of a radio bug discussed in one or both threads that causes excessive battery drain. Search for mobile radio active fix.

I n=might have posted twice, but the issue is the battery drains when the screen on. I already have amplify so the standby times are fine. I just need a way to extend the screen on time.

Greenify and Powernap can help with screen on time. Calibrating doesn't change how your battery works, you may get better accuracy in battery stats reporting though. Did you use BBS or the built in battery app? BBS will tell you what is draining battery in both standby and use times. Use the text dumpfile option in the sharing contextual menu to generate a file that can be used by those who understand battery usage to analyze your device.
