Hi everyone,
I bought a Galaxy S4 GT19500 few days ago. I didn't put an SMS yet to this mobile, so I am using the WiFi to connect to the internet. However, I noticed that the phone consumes a huge amount of battery. I used the stopwatch how much time it takes for the battery to decrease by 1% when browing internet only using WiFi. The time it took was 3 mintues and few seconds only !!
Given that: GPS off, Bluetootch off, Air Gesture off, S-Beam off, eye detection (I forgot it's name) off ..etc and most of the smart features
And brightness was auto, power saving mode was on and from time to time I clear running apps in background.
Please help me, I want to know is this amount of battery consumption normal ??
Thanks in advance,

The apps you have installed could also be a factor. Try using Better Battery Stats to see what is keeping your phone awake and draining battery

Thanks for the reply. When I go to settings->more->battery, the stats show that the screen cosumes most of the battery 27%. However, the level of I screen I've chosen was almost the lowest !!!
Please any other suggestions, any S4 users can share their experience to tell me if what I am experiencing considered NORMAL?

Percentages are good but actual time is better. How much screen on time do you get in a typical charge and how long does your phone last in a typical day?

I've been using the TMO S6 for a couple weeks and my battery life is terrible.
I have used greenery to hibernate everything I can, but as you can see in the attached picture the Android system is running overtime. I am lucky if I get 4 hrs of battery time. I also have the screen brightness set to less than 50%.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I have no idea why google thought it was a good idea to make battery stats less accessible in kitkat and above, so it's hard to find what causes it. It's probably easiest to factory reset and start clean and then start adding a few apps at a time, to see if you have one misbehaving one
Thanks. I am able to see the apps and utilization using gsam battery app, but unable to look at which android system apps are draining/running, as per the picture.
Turn off WiFi calling and voLte

The problem is that when app X hold a wakelock it doesn't show up under app X but under Android System!
I agree, battery life in general is a huge step back from the S5.

Factory reset then do these two. Also, disable T-Mobile bloat then use Greenify or Shut App.
I can get about a day and a half or two days battery with very minimal use. Don't expect to get more than 4 hours screen on time with this phone. Average is probably around 3.5-4.5 hours but you SHOULD get at least a full day's use with it.
Wifi calling pretty important for some of us
Hi guys I'm using s6 for few days ...battery drains too quickly. ..pls help me need help ...after one call or one song battery drains 2-3% ...I'm too upset pls temme what to do ...would be great if ul help
I've just bought my phone two days ago, but it seems to have a really awful problem, my battery is draining like hell, I don't get more than 7 hours SOT and sometimes my SOTs are aweful.
Take a look at the screenshots.
Is it normal? Tell me if it isn't so that I can take it for a replacement.
One of the screenshots are from 100 percent to 14 and the other one is from 100 percent to 79
Also my phone is always warm and I think that it's too much warm sometimes.

If your phone is quite new , then I'd suggest that you should most probably put your phone through many charge discharge cycles . if the problem still persists then I'd really advice you to take a replacement

Thanks for your help, I'll try to do some more charge cycles and see what happens, may I ask if you own a S8+? I'm curious about your SOT, wanna know how much the standard of it is.

How much would be considered ok? At the moment i get around 8h 56min with 14% left. Is this a good value?

On my S8 i get 7-8 hours on an average SOT .
Mine is the worse. I can only get 4h SOT in a day.

Yes I think? I get only 7 hours with no batterry left.
7 hours SOT is good. You have no reason to complain about that.
Also, you need to wait a week for everything to settle, and let the Samsung power monitor start putting unused apps to sleep.
Also, dual SIM phones will use more battery than single SIM.

Only if the second SIM is actually in use, otherwise it doesn't.
@JohnSmit268 I have a Dual SIM S8+ as well, only use it with 1 SIM, but I get about the same battery life as you do, slightly better but I'm happy with it. I've put some apps to sleep permanently so they don't run in the background and I use it at about 30% brightness.

I noticed your computed power usage with 7h SOT was 1633 mAh, that's a lot higher than mine.
With 30% brightness, full res display, and a black theme, my computed power usage with around 7 and a half hours of SOT is only around 800 mAh.
Do you use AOD?

Yep, I read somewhere that it doesn't have much effect on battery consumption.
Now I'm charging my phone to 100%, see how the phone performs without AOD on full res. I really feel the drainage is faster than it should be, let's see what happens.

Yeah , my mobile data LTE is always on and I use regular stuff and YouTube (2 hours ) daily
Difference between FHD and WQHD+ is negligible and makes almost no difference to battery usage.
If you think 7 hours SOT is not good, then you are honestly very much mistaken. It is very good.
But you simply cannot compare easily with someone else. There are so many factors that change. Signal strength, wifi strength, how often you use wifi and data, brightness, auto brightness, AOD, vibration, sound, bluetooth, NFC, apps installed, apps used, apps running in the background, location settings. They all make a difference and vary between every device.
Colour of wallpaper will make a big difference too. Wallpaper with lots of black will save power because of how AMOLED displays work, so that will also makes a difference between every device too.

Don't know if it's luck or something, or maybe it's a one time happening but this is my test result, with the draining speed I have, it can give me around 9 to 10 hours SOT. I had the 3G always on, my brightness was more than half. This SOT is outstanding, I wish my device maintain this. I turned off AOD, switched to a black theme and used full res display.
Just wondering why the screen usage is that high. 2400 mAh...
Hey guys ,
I have been getting very bad battery life compared to what others are getting . With careful usage , basically turning off location and using it with only one sim . I managed just about 6 hrs screen on time for 20hrs usage. The sot is heavily boosted by youtube and prime video.
I know the use case is very different for every one but considering this is an 4800mah battery. This is the best I have managed . I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. Please share your battery life experience.

I get around 7 hours on 60hz, and i have had to turn off a lot of google service. Not really happy with the SOT in this device. Not even gonna talk about the slow LTE speeds and wifi 2,4ghz speeds.
I am on snapdragon
Bluetooth, wifi/data always on, dark mode, social media mostly, 120hz. 7-9 SOT always with 10% left. May patch. Exynos variant
That's not bad bro. For me, same condition but using both sims, I got around 6+ hr SOT and 36 hr stand-by time.

I did bloatware removal with adb. Maybe that's why I'm getting these numbers
I use some optimization to achieve this SOT (exynos chipset) :
- Turn off mobile data while using wifi (bixby routine)
- Power Saving Mode always active (but still using 120hz refresh rate)
- Uninstal all samsung bloatware using ADB command
- Deep Sleep all aplication which I dont need to standby at background
Yeah the battery life is attrocious, and so is Samsung's service in Ireland.
My S21+ (Exynos) struggles to get *3* hours of screen on time, and after 5 months I am about to issue a complaint with the bank after giving up on Samsung support's incompetence.

Yes i saw it recently. I uninstalled some other apps today. I will see if good battery and performance this week. thanks.
How are you getting 10hr SOT and think it's bad! Even the manufacturers say you can expect a day's use out of today's flagship phones which usually means around 2-3hrs SOT.
A day and half usage if you are pushing it!!
How can you enable Power Saving Mode and enforce 120hz screen?

I put apps I dont use to DEEP SLEEP as soon as I got the phone always on 120hz Adaptive
Brightness on half sometimes over when I go out
Please use this thread to post everything about the Battery live of our S22 ultras
Pretty bad the first day (drained 40% in 12 hours of not doing anything).
This is currently day 3 of me using it. The battery learning or whatever is done and it is noticeably better (but not perfect). Although the fact that on low brightness/ambient light you are stuck with 120Hz kinda kills the battery in the evening.
My Phone runs actually 2Days and 1hour without Charge. I have 7% remaining and 6h 5 Minutes SOT.
I Use energysaver mode(always on+bluetooth+wlan is non stop on) and all apps in deepsleep that i dont need
For me it´s good so far^^

When it comes to battery drain while the phone is not doing anything (just sitting with the screen off and all apps closed) it is worse than my almost 4 years old S9+...
While using it it is hard to tell, but sometimes it seems to just eat through the battery.

Think the "day one patch" will fix it a bit. Many people have stutter issues seems like driver Problems with the AMD gpu. it will release this Week.

I would be happy to have your results. Look at my S22 ultra (Exynos 12/256) Battery drain ! Just from reading my mails and using telegram and a little bit of whatsapp
Day one battery life is pretty awful! Hope it improves..
. I take it off at 100% and I watch the battery tick down almost immediately. Just general use dropped 16% in the first hour. Hope it gets better than this.
Q: Whats the name of the Samsung optimizer app that.one is supposed to run after an update?

Wtf thats **** mate :/ hope we will See an Update on the official Release:/
Day three. This has the worst battery life of any device I have used in years. For example, Dropped 5% in first 16 minutes of use today. I used smart switch. Maybe that did it? Or is 5G?
I have 2 full days in now, and the battery life is good. S22U 512K unlocked SD version, no power savers, adaptive brightness. I have fast charge turned off and using Anker wireless charger, recharge in about 3-4 hrs.
Feb 23rd : 8h 43m SOT, 8h 22m screen off, 36% remaining at end
Feb 24th : 8h 48m SOT, 7h 51m screen off, 46% remaining at end
I'm on day 5. S22 Ultra with 12/256. It is technically getting better but I do not like how quickly it drains. I been finishing about 5-6 hours SOT max but with battery almost completely dead. Just from unplugging it and driving to work checking notifications, it goes down to 97%. Never seen a battery drain that quickly. Maybe I am just spoiled from the iPhone battery. Also running everything max QHD, 120Hz, auto brightness and Snapdragon version.
One additional comment, I wonder if the battery drain could be due to the GPU and people's different usage patterns. I don't watch a lot of video or play games and my battery seems OK. That and the reports of the phone getting really hot when playing games and the refresh and screen glitches makes me wonder if people reporting higher drain are using the GPU more.
