[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Eric214:
The phone probably never sleeps the way you have it set up. All that stuff syncs in the background and therefore never lets the phone sleep. Stuff you don't have to know about constantly you should either turn off sync and manually sync it or try making it sync like say every hours or 4 hours not every 15 min. Honestly there are maybe 30-50 things that can cause your battery drain from a stock device that is new. But that is where i would start.

Also, make sure your GPS is off and your not using location services from VZW but just the normal google.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dvigue:
great info....so what about some of the apps that people have said to install? i dont really want to root..especially since there is NO recovery...

also..i checked and i did notice it was awake allot, and GOOGLE CONTACTS took ALLOT of kernal usage..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Eric214:
Honestly I dont like apps used to control other apps. That means they run in thr background causing cpu cycles... hence waking the phone.

if youre not going to root, then go into the app manager and disable what you dont use and what youre able to. Not all apps are disablable. I even disable maps untill I need it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] newkydawg:
I noticed a lot of battery drain with my rooted ME7 version. Greenify helped but what really worked for me is this: Go to System Settings>More>Location Services and disable Wi-Fi & mobile network location (Google Location Services). Use VZW and Standalone GPS only. It may take your apps a tad bit longer to display your GPS position but you'll gain a lot of battery life. My GPS is always on, sync everything including 2 different Google accounts (all at the shortest interval) and have the other usual things running, ie. Facebook, Google Voice, Weather Bug, Go SMS, etc.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ammjr71:
It's not as hard as you think...

If you don't want to root, there's not a lot you can do as far as wakelocks. However, I would download Macrodroid and set up some profiles that turn off everything (sync, data, wifi, bluetooth) when you turn your screen off, control your syncing to once an hour or hour and a half, and turn on your data/wifi when you turn your screen back on - or rather, when you unlock it. This simple task will take you less than 20 minutes and will save you hours of battery life. Like others said, disable GPS unless you absolutely need it. Also, I would turn off a lot of the gitchy features (air gesture, air view, multi windo, smart scroll, smart stay) all that crap that is cool to use once or twice but just eats your battery like crazy.

If you choose to get Macrodroid and want help setting up the profiles, let me know. Good luck. By the way, that doubled my battery life. Once I rooted, controlled the wakelocks and bought a zerolemon 7500 battery, I can actually get over 3 days of usage with something like 9 hours of screen time.

Edit: Found two pics to prove the above claim...

I recently re-flashed my phone because I was unable to get it back to stock un-rooted so I could get the latest 4.4 update. Someone suggested using Triangle Away to reset my flash counter in order to show my phone was 'not modified'. I purchased Triangle Away installed etc, but it had a stern warning that resetting my flash counter could "hard brick" my phone.

I attempted to use the temporary disable of SU for OTA within Triangle Away to unroot my phone and apply the update, unfortunately the update didn't work and now I can not undo put back SU as enabled. My phone is unrooted without the ability to undo that feature in Triangle Away.

Question, is there a way to fix this with Triangle Away? Am I missing something or do I have to reflash my phone again?

Why would an app like Triangle Away have a feature within it's app that could cause this to happen and not a way to back out of it.

I hope someone can help me with this.:crying:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bigmtnskier:

Not sure if I will brave Triangle Away again, but thank you for responding and offering a good suggestion.:good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
Did you reset your flash counter? As far as I know this was put in place by the developer to warn people...Of knowing what they are doing before hand. This warning is mainly in place to try and make people read to see if their phone model is supported.

To the best of my knowledge, no one has hard bricked their phone on any of the I747(m) models using this app. This feature does work as I have used it multiple times.

And what update our ROM are you installing? You said 4.4... I used ODIN to restore back to complete stock 4.1.1 (not rooted, stock recovery included) and the OTA update to stock 4.1.2 went without a hitch. I used CF Auto Root (via ODIN) to root and then installed a custom recovery.

I was attempting to do the OTA to go from 4.0.4 ICS to 4.1.x Jellybean. BTW, I was able to re-set my count to 0! Thank you for the reassurance!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
I would highly recommend flashing the pure stock 4.1.1 rom (including stock recovery) and then do the OTA. The 4.1.2 stock rom might be available through KIES or through other sites by now, but I can't say for certain. Since you are already using ODIN, then CF auto root will be a breeze for you to root 4.1.2.

No worries. I was a little nervous too about Triangle Away at first but searching did not net anything saying that reseting the flash counter had hard bricked someone's phone. That is what pushed me to use it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bigmtnskier:
I blew out Kies on my main machine because it doesn't work well, I had to re-set all my USB ports and re-install the Samsung USB drivers so no Kies for me. But where do I find a stock 4.1.1 rom from? My stock version is 4.0.4 (the original ROM when the S3 was released), I wonder if I can just use a custom 4.1.1 ROM instead or do you think it would work if I unroot/stock to 4.0.4 then OTA to 4.1.2? :confused:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aybarrap1:
To ensure best results use ODIN to flash the stock ROM to 4.1.1. You should return the phone stock as if you just purchased from the store new. Then do the OTA. You can use ODIN after that to root with CF Auto root.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Yes, it's the most frequent error made when beginning using adb and fastboot. It's called double file extension and caused by Windows hiding file extension of known file type by default. You can change this parameter from any folder option menu in Windows so file extensions will always be displayed.

i had the same problem error cannot load 'C:\adb\firmware.zip'

it took me 5 hours to figure the solution which is just that you have to copy the full target path and not just the name of the file

for example "C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot\cwm.zip.zip"

alternatively create shortcut to desktop and then select the target from properties
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
The problem here is double file extension (.zip.zip) hence why the command window can't find your file. Windows is hiding file extension for known file type by default. So your file should be named "cwm" (windows is hiding the .zip by default) not "cwm.zip" which in reality equals to "cwm.zip.zip" if you add the hidden file extension. File extensions are hidden by default to prevent users changing file extensions by error when renaming files. You can configure windows to always show file extension and avoid that kind of error.
