They missed a competitor that launches on most networks the same day as the GS5. Why is there no HTC One (M8)?
[Galaxy S 5 General] dandroid13:
Because it isn't a competitor globally? Or maybe because they didn't send them/have one to test? Or even because nobody cares about the One+One "super hyper better than competition because it's made of metal"? :p
[Galaxy S 5 General] anewday:
I want to see a test done with 4G on all the time. Why is that lacking? Not everyone wants/needs or is around wifi.
[Galaxy S 5 General] BoneXDA:
4G signal strength vastly differs on location which will result in differing 4G battery results, WiFi is more consistent. With envelope tracking tech. the S5 should do very well on strong LTE signal, if it's weak, there isn't much to do to stop antenna drainage...
[Galaxy S 5 General] leoaudio13:
Here are screenshots of mine 2day. Quite good
[Galaxy S 5 General] noideaforusername:

[Galaxy S 5 General] leoaudio13:
Cos of wakelock. Shjt load of things are installed on my phone to test things :P
[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
How much screen on time have you been consistently getting with your S5? How is standby time on your S5?

Based on your images, we can estimate roughly 30% of battery used for 2 hours of screen on time which is over 6 hours screen on time on a full charge. Considering you have wakelocks present, battery life seems pretty good.
[Galaxy S 5 General] leoaudio13:
Standby time is very very good really. I didnt have a chance to test until it drains out ( cos my business, gotta keep the phone alive no matter what :P ). But I normally charge the phone every night before go to bed, wake up unplug and after a full day working with lots of calls, 3G browsing , email push, Facebook, Messenger etc, phone battery is around 70-76% ( sometimes 55-60%) after dinner ( 7-8PM ) which is pretty good for me :)

Your S5 Model

Hi there, may I know which frequency band is accessible through your Galaxy S5 SM-G900F for 3G and 4G/LTE as I saw some online retailers list it with same model number but one support 4G/LTE and one only support 3G even though they list it as the same model number with the 'F' at the end.
[Galaxy S 5 General] leoaudio13:
No 4g at my position but surely it is full 4g support. As the firmware is hlte

Bonus pic ;)
[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
GSMARENA has determined the S5 to have great battery life, better than the Note 3 in everything except video playback. It also edges out the HTC M8 by 1 hour in talk time and 30 minutes in web browsing while video playback is equal between the two devices.

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s5-review-1064p3.php
[Galaxy S 5 General] BoneXDA:
Impressive, thank you for sharing!

Interestingly, both Mobile-Review's Murzatin and Playwares measured much better video playback time (former 12:48, the latter 13:34 at 100%, the latter 14:45 at 280cm/m2) so I guess GSMArena either didn't an the test fully down just extrapolated results, or used a 3rd party app that's not as hardware efficient. The only phone that beats the S5 video playback time at the same brightness is the Note 3 according to the Korean review.

Matters not really, who watches 12-14 hours of video on a phone anyway? The S5 is simply amazing for it's size.
[Galaxy S 5 General] omersak:
These tests are much more valid as they standardize the display brightness at 200 nits.
[Galaxy S 5 General] BoneXDA:
True, AnandTech to the English speaking world is what Playwares to the Korean. I just wish they tested video playback time, cause that's quite important ever since we watch video content on these large devices. I'd very much love to see Brian's and Anand's measurements there, at 200 nits it would blow off competition's roof.

Anyway, the rest of their battery results:

Simple question. How long does it take your phone to drop from 100 to 99% if you start using it right after it has been charged? It takes 6 minutes for me
[Galaxy S 5 General] noideaforusername:
for me even less - 3 minutes. For some weird reason the first 5% takes only 15 minutes of usage to drain.
[Galaxy S 5 General] koragg97:
It's the same with my S3 Mini. Don't know the cause ???

Still I couldn't disable the Index service?! Pleeeeeeeeeease anyone to help me

I'm on stock rom, not rooted, disabled many apps
[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
Isn't indexservice related to S Finder? I would suggest disabling S Finder which should effectively prevent the indexservice from draining your battery.
[Galaxy S 5 General] mediumsteak:
Alternatively, if disabling S Finder and other craptacular Samsung goodies doesn't work, you may have to resort to the grandfather of all solutions.

Hint....its a factory reset.

:victory:

---------- Post added at 09:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 PM ----------

I suggest you experiment for 1 day without the gear to determine whether the wakelocks are related to the watch.
[Galaxy S 5 General] mohammedsarhan:
I think it's related to S finder, or Dropbox.

But I tried to disable S finder, but I couldn't? !

Do you know how?!!!!
[Galaxy S 5 General] mickw87:
I did for 5 hours, but the wake lock is still there. so its not related to the gear 2, i think. But what could it be, disabled almost everything :(

Wavelock!

Hey all,

Here is my battery life. Not terrible, but not nearly as good as many of you. This is after minimal use. Email, some web browsing and about an hour's worth of podcast streaming. 58% after 12 hours on battery.

From what I gather, my phone is experiencing wavelock. The Screen-on time vs. awake time is confounding. I contacted Verizon and they sent me a new battery, but my issues continue.

I can send any interested parties a screenshot of my battery stats, as I cannot post a pic, being a new member.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 5 General] It_ler:
Battery life depends on many different things. So it varies a lot. Even with the same hardware and firmware installed.

One main influence is the usage.

For posting screenshots/attaching files, you need some few more posts. Then in "Go Advanced" (underneath the post input box) you should get an option to "Manage Attatchments" ... at least when browsing xda in a browser.

If you have concerns about your battery life, there are some nice apps available to help you finding potential culprits draining the battery.

For example GSAM battery monitor or Better Battery Stats (BBS) from Play store.

You can also check the BBS thread for further information about how to optimize your battery life ... and if you post a BBS dumpfile there and ask for help, you will get some useful advices.

EDIT:

Here are my current battery stats after about 8.5 hours of sleeping ... auto-sync disabled, but mobile data enabled all the time.

(Still on stock G900FXXU1ANE2 with stock kernel ... without any manual system tweaks/undervolting/underclocking/etc. and no power saving mode)
[Galaxy S 5 General] Vihru:
You have stock rom? But with root? Or how you modded that statusbar? No greenify? Thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 General] It_ler:
Rooted with CF-Auto-Root to get Xposed framework running.

I am using Wanam Xposed mod ATM to customize the UI of my stock ROM ... till I flash a custom ROM.

Yes, I'm using Greenify too.

Here is the list of my greenified apps:
[Galaxy S 5 General] bumper_VFX:
Thank you for your reply. I'll give BBS ago.

Oops, looks like I won't be able to get full use since my phone isn't rooted.
[Galaxy S 5 General] It_ler:
Yes, that's unfortunately a consequence of the restricted battery and system stats in Android.

BBS can only offer/present/analyze the stats that it can read/get from the system.

So some intersting stats (e.g. Alarms) are only available on a rooted device.

That's why I also suggested GSMA Battery Monitor from Play store. It focuses more on the apps draining the battery.
[Galaxy S 5 General] drakester09:
Great standby stats. This is overnight drain in Stock Rom, greenified and a custom kernel.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Ravens97:
Is this normal battery life? Yes I know it went up in the middle that's when I connected it to my computer.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Vihru:
what kernel? did you disablet some bloatware? have you rooted?
[Galaxy S 5 General] drakester09:
Own custom kernel, still testing.

Yes, I disabled a ton stuff I don't use (greenify/TiBu).

I'm rooted.

Just a heads up u put the same image on twice or my tapatalk is messing up :P
[Galaxy S 5 General] iresq:
I, too, was having terrible battery life until I removed my Samsung account.
[Galaxy S 5 General] :
5 hours of screen time is a LOT. Think about it. If you're awake for 16 hours, you spent almost a third of your day looking at your screen.

At 2 hours of screen time I usually use about 30-50% battery so sounds about right.
[Galaxy S 5 General] CJLewis87:
Still pretty damn chuffed with the battery life on this device. Far exceeding the screen on time for the S4 which was usually 4 hrs 30 at a push. 2 days is the max standby time I've achieved and y hats with 6 hrs + screen on so really impressed. All stock, non rooted device just the usual bloatware and unused services disabled, UPS and flight mode over night
[Galaxy S 5 General] jstodda:
One day, 22 hours, 7 hours of screen time. Definitely not a normal user period, but still amazingly incredible nonetheless. Stock rooted and a TON of bloat removed. Used BBS to narrow down my wakelocks. I use reg gmail app, reg Facebook app. Chrome as my browser.
[Galaxy S 5 General] SnowFire:
I got 1 day and 8 hrs with lots of services and apps disabled, power saving mode, flight mode on nights, sync and some push apps enabled. Samsung account active... and 9th short charging time when I used Navigon for 15 min... that's all
[Galaxy S 5 General] AndroidInsanity:

[Galaxy S 5 General] FreeFlyFreak:
After 4 days of abysmal battery life on a new S5 (t-mobile), Android System was the culprit using as much or more battery than the screen.

After tweaking many settings I eventually resorted to a factory reset.

Wow What a difference!!!

I have been torturing the phone all day and am currently on target for 14 hrs off charger with 8 hrs screen on time.

So happy, and I still have the option of switching out a spare battery if needed, though I doubt I'll need to.

If u don't use it disable it along Sith every other bloatware you don't use.

On which Rom? Any social apps running? Sync? Maik sync?
[Galaxy S 5 General] bnight:
On Stock Rom only ART enabled. Social apps: Facebook, Facebook Messanger, Viber (not using it) everything is synced in the moment even my camera photos are uploaded straight to Dropbox. Don`t know what Maik sync is though.

And before I put it to charge on 8% my uptime was 2 days 6 hours which I think is good result with normal usage no Powersaving what so ever.
[Galaxy S 5 General] SnowFire:
Sorry this should been mail sync :)

So, art is the power saving result?

Are u using some Samsung sync services?

Stock kernel?

This is more then a good result. Awesome. Really.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Nitrous19:
I'm using XtreStoRom 1.1.3. Admittedly this was with medium use, no games just browsing on chrome really.

I use location on battery saving.

Limit to 2g data and use WiFi where possible making sure I disable after use.

Make sure I close all open apps after use.

Don't have any social apps running. Use the web for these to avoid the battery draining apps. Also don't use hangouts.

I Like this ROM coz it is really light and running services are very light

Next time I get a good stretch of use from one charge I'll post all the info

[Galaxy S 5 General] bnight:
Don`t know what you mean by Samsung sync but as I say my photos are automatically synced to Dropbox for example I use bluetooth to transfer new wallpaper (black one which could probably help a bit on the battery) but besides that it was standard use with normal day to day tasks like Facebook, checking google, sending and receiving photos 1 hour of phone calls etc. Here are the final stats plus my software version hope this helps.

Before switching to ART my best was 1 d and 15 hours.
[Galaxy S 5 General] bnight:
I work as system administrator in front of PC 24/7 mostly so no need for huge screen time however watching 20 minutes of internet video like youtube or some browser based html5 takes down around 4% of battery so you could calculate that 1 hour of screen time equals around 10% of your battery and I know that 1 hour of stand by on my device is around 1.68% of battery so it`s a trade off between long stand by time and on screen time and this in a ratio of more then 5 to 1 which having in mind how gorgeous this screen is it`s perfectly normal for me.

Overall I`m impressed with the battery life on the S5 more then any smartphone that I owned or used so far and having in mind that UPS could actually save lives I think this phone battery life is stunning.

Have a look through the forums, there's lots of tips.

Greenify all apps I don't want on when phone sleeps

Debloat Samsung apps (still have a lot of the google stuff though)

Turn wifi on from always to just when charging

Location settings from high accuracy to low

CPU settings app - set up profiles for screen off so it runs at 300 - 600max (I find the screen lags a bit too much from deep sleep if set it to 300-300)

Custom ROM (alliance)

Custom kernel (ael) & set governor to smartmax + decreased voltages very slightly

[Galaxy S 5 General] johan81:
1% per hour with syncing enabled on some apps is more than normal. If you want your phones to draw less power you will not be able to use it as you like. The people posting with insane good battery usage tell you this, they disable everything they can and that is how they like it, though I rather use some sync features (Gmail, Whatsapp) or my phone will become a rather useless thing to me. That way I get somewhat less battery usage, but still great! People are so frantic over these kind of things here, it is insane to be honest :eek::p
