The question which precedes yours is : " What have you been doing on the phone? "
[Galaxy S 5 General] montana r c:
Xterostlite or something. I can't spell it correctly. But it's the debloated one.
[Galaxy S 5 General] VuBoo:
Ow okay..

I use the same rom, heavily debloated myself, greenify, eliminated wakelocks but still no 7+ sot -.- i think bcuz of my strange signal. Maybe i have to flash an other modem ?
[Galaxy S 5 General] montana r c:
Well I use a different profile. I use eclipse v2. Just so you know :D

You could quite easily get pretty close to his screen on time by just watching movies the whole day.

I had an instance where I had nearly 11 hours of screen on time but I spent the whole day watching movies.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Ave666:
Zerolemon?
[Galaxy S 5 General] montana r c:
No. Using ktoonsez kernel. Brightness set to 20-30 percent throughout day. Also using profile dead by april v2. However you get slightly less peformance but alot of battery life.

That's mainly where i got my battery life lol. But I had gaming in there too. And alot more other stuff. Music for 3-4 hours while the screen was off.

NJ1 stock rom with ktoonsez undervolted kernel i got 12+ hours screen on time. completely stock with wifi on all day. i'm currently using NJ1 stock with adam kernel, dont know screen on time but 2 days 7 hours without charging. i can test screen later but i'm trying to undervolt it first.
[Galaxy S 5 General] VuBoo:
CM 12 Alpha - Build 3

[Galaxy S 5 General] trettet:
Restarting the S5 sort of changed the battery percent but i didn't charge it or replaced the battery.

I was streaming Spotify, reaching every single song and playing the cache song while downloaded the rest. Took me around 2 hrs and for 3 hours playing music through the loud speaker.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Isriam:
i switched to adam kernel undervolted -100mva on stock NJ1. no settings turned off, nfc, wifi, bluetooth on all day, sync for all mail accounts. i'm at 75% with 1 day 4 hours, 1 hour screen on time. gonna keep using it until it goes dead just to see how much i can get out of it with normal daily use.
[Galaxy S 5 General] cAase:
Mostly tapatalk, Whatsapp, surfing and some played music.
[Galaxy S 5 General] BrandonMXB:
Does anyone suggest any spare battery case, or do most people even need one? And this is pretty impressive. I feel pretty good with my S5.
[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
The S5 has a removeable battery, a spare battery case should not even be a consideration when you have such an option.
[Galaxy S 5 General] BrandonMXB:
Right I agree but some people don't like restarting their phones... But good point because it does boot back up in a second.
[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
I would much rather reboot my phone once a day to replace the battery than have to deal with the added thickness and fat lip at the bottom of the phone as a result of the case.
[Galaxy S 5 General] BrandonMXB:
True... Do you have a case on yours?
[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
Depending on the occasion, I either have my UAG case on the phone or its naked. Most of the time it is in the UAG case as I commute quite a bit.

Even with a case like the UAG which is considered "rugged", any battery case will still be noticeably bulkier and less ergonomic.
[Galaxy S 5 General] seriallife:
Wow that is really great. Which kernel do you use?

How is the battery life on the newer builds?
[Galaxy S 5 General] oranttge:
with XtreStoLite, KToonz, greenify, powersaving mode.

How's the battery and SOT on Lollipop? Does the battery efficiency plus white material theme equals more or less same battery life as on KitKat?
[Galaxy S 5 General] koragg97:
I've read that battery life is worse than on KK, but more importantly Lollipop isn't moddable right now so it's a pile of junk. If you're on 4.4.2, don't update (at least for now)!
[Galaxy S 5 General] :
XtreStoLite v1.5
[Galaxy S 5 General] Ave666:
Moderate usage till 12 %. Data / WiFi. No power saving mode. all sensor on. Auto brightness. goggle search disabled. Conclusion, white UI doesn't matter on Lollipuff [emoji29]
[Galaxy S 5 General] koragg97:
Thanks for posting. I guess Lollipop's battery savings + white background = same battery life as on KitKat. Imagine what would happen if Lollipop was dark themed like 4.4.2. Plus, black always looks good and you won't hurt your eyes at night... aaand 5.0 is not moddable yet! So KitKat wins for now (until there is a custom Lollipop ROM with black background-AllianceROM-)!
[Galaxy S 5 General] adamgwaps:
hello i just wanna ask what is the best battery saving kernel? thank you...
[Galaxy S 5 General] Infinite Sheldon:
My Galaxy S5 battery performance.

I mostly based a smartphone's battery life on screen on time. So far I am quite pleased with the S5's battery. Check these screenshots. My highest is 7 hr 25 min (moderate usage; includes 2 hr video watching; auto brightness) and lowest is just short of 4 hours (pretty heavy usage; when I am using the phone for continuous 3D gaming). The average is 5-6 hours. It doesn't hurt one bit the fact that I have an extra battery kit. Instant battery charged on top of Galaxy S5's pleasing battery life. :)

P.S. S5 is running on Android 4.4.2 KitKat; not rooted. I hope Android Lollipop's Project Volta will improve this even better providing Samsung's TouchWiz will not f*uck it up. XD

[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
The battery life on my S5 has really plummeted since I first bought it back in May.

I used to be able to get close to 6:30 screen on time browsing the Web and tapatalk, that number has now decreased to about 3:30 on a good day. I have my S5 fully optimized to achieve the greatest battery life possible with plenty of apps disabled and unnecessary features turned off and this setup worked quite well in the beginning.

From my troubleshooting, I have determined the most likely culprit is my battery itself which is odd as this is the first device in which I have noticed degraded battery capacity so early on.

Anybody else notice their battery degrade quite rapidly on the S5?
[Galaxy S 5 General] bodomfan:
Buy a new 1 and it'll be the same
[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
Well that is the plan, but I'm frankly contemplating selling the S5 and moving on to something else.
[Galaxy S 5 General] montana r c:
I sometimes think about this. Then I think s5 is a very good device with battery life water proofing custom roms. Everything u need in a phone. I dont think theres a phone that is better other than the note 4.
[Galaxy S 5 General] ASAB1594:
we want more screen shots about screen-on time plz :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] tlf55:

[Galaxy S 5 General] Apoxx:
Very high system usage. Don't have a screenshot, but yesterday after 12 hours out of charger, and 2 hours of screen time, I had 50% battery left, with screen only 10% of that drain. System and OS was rest.

[Galaxy S 5 General] boodies:
yeah but the m8 is not an option for me with the crappy camera lol.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Hellscythe:
I was gonna go for the m8 too until I realised that giant bottom bezel and camera quality lol
[Galaxy S 5 General] bjc112:
I am perplexed by those results. I had the pleasure of using the m8 for about 6 days and my battery was definitely not as good as my g2 or s5.. But anandtech say otherwise.. Weird.

I am definitely impressed with s5 battery. I was Impressed by my g2 battery, seemed like the m8 was simply not as good.
[Galaxy S 5 General] 10010110:
Yeah, after having this phone for one day and starting out with 100% charge and getting home with ~90% battery left you can just tell this thing is gonna stay charged for a very long time.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Prodigyofwealth:
19 Hr life time today, Thoroughly Impress!!!

Use phone like you would normally would. I got 19hr's today on my S 5, no charge @ all day. Use it like I normally would a phone.. The main reason I bought the phone, I really tested this bi*ch out and I was impress it lasted so long. Spotify, downloading, talktime, all during that time today, and it was fluid as ever #winning
[Galaxy S 5 General] omersak:
Screen-on time?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Br4nd3n:
My girlfriend has the M8, and it's clearly apparent the S5 is far more superior; as it should be being newer. Both of our phones will last us all day with moderate usage and a few hours of sleep. However the S5 clearly wins the camera, waterproof/sandproof, comfortability, hardware, and feature game.

Not to mention her phone does feel significantly hotter than mine after the same amount of usage on just Facebook and instagram, so that whole "metal vs. Plastic" may be true during intense benchmarking.

We must all remember that metal gets hotter faster than plastic but plastic doesn't dispense heat as well. So in theory the M8 gets hotter quicker but only to an extent where it starts to dispense, the S5 gets hotter slower, however will take longer to dispense the heat. With moderate use, temperature is irrelevant.
[Galaxy S 5 General] renehd2:
See you in the HTC one m8 Forum after some weeks of using the galaxy s5 ;)
[Galaxy S 5 General] bodomfan:

Great battery life on UK lollipop firmware
[Galaxy S 5 General] egps2:
So it seems like the new white design on lolipop does not actually drain the battery as much as I feared? Or maybe the new battery saving features of lolipop more than make up for the difference? On kitkat my 4.4.2 G900i gets an average of 4.5h screen on time with no efforts to save battery; I have facebook and data always on etc. I can get up to 6.5 when I try to save battery but after being used to 2.5h on my Galaxy S2 with all saving methods on I'm still happy with 4.5h!

What's wrong with my phone's battery life?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F Kitkat 4.4.2 non rooted and I think something is wrong with my battery or phone.

I never get past 3 hours of on-screen time usage whatever the use case.

Usual scenario:

Location/Bluetooth/Wifi/NFC/Sync/Printing Services/Motion Settings - All turned off

Display - 15 seconds timeout. 25% brightness

Sound - lowest settings for vibration

Mobile Data - 4g or 3g on most of the time

Apps I use most of the time

Clash of Clans

Spotify

I also notice that the phone gets warm, but there are also cases where it gets HOT.

Today, I just got my battery replaced, I took it to a service center but they didn't check the phone they just replaced the battery.

Here are some battery stats:
[Galaxy S 5 General] cAase:
Best solution is to install Better Battery Stats and look what's causing drain.
[Galaxy S 5 General] dhysics:
So this type of battery life isn't normal?

I can't install BetterBatteryStats yet I haven't rooted my phone
[Galaxy S 5 General] android167:
No, it's not. My average SOT is 5-7h.
[Galaxy S 5 General] cAase:
3h of screen on time with pretty much everything turned off is pretty much terrible battery life.

I get around 9-10 h of SOT on wifi only and around 8h with mixed usage. Though all my apps are behaving and aren't causing unnecessary wakelocks. Did you try to factory reset?

This i got some days ago, note it's AOSP which has worse battery life than TW.
[Galaxy S 5 General] dhysics:
What do you guys suggest I do?

I am now monitoring the battery usage using Gsam Battery Monitor.

Yes I did a factory reset before getting the new battery.

Also just did a wipe cache partition and reformatted SD card. ( some suggest KitKat bug)

Do you think this is a hardware issue?
[Galaxy S 5 General] zparallax:
Thanks!

Hi cAase:

Thank you, trying now! :highfive:

---------- Post added at 09:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 PM ----------

Hi dhysics:

If you have root you can use wakelock detector, maybe an app is keeping the phone awake. Apart of that have you tried with a different ROM? or maybe a newer build of KitKat. Do you have a generic battery?, since I've heard that they drain faster. If you turn off the majority of the services maybe that can help.

Hope you solve the problem.

Best!
