My new screen on time record.
[Galaxy S 5 General] bigfdaddy2:
Well my final battery stats before hitting the charger for the night ...not to shabby over 5hrs screen on time and just over 20hrs on battery
[Galaxy S 5 General] jntdroid:
This is about the best I can do - not bad, but not 4-5 hours of screen time like I'm seeing elsewhere on here:
[Galaxy S 5 General] Inm8:
Happy with this battery life now.

My alarm kept my phone awake and is also responsible for the 8 hour kernel wakelock. It also uses proximity sensor so that might impact my battery a little. They instruct you to (and I usually do) plug it into the charger before sleep.
[Galaxy S 5 General] hyoga68:
Looking at your stats, I think there is something wrong with my S5....

The best stats I got was 12 hours with 2 screen time hours.

Using Original Rom, and connected to WiFi almost all day
[Galaxy S 5 General] v_square:
Yes indeed your stats are weird. I get around 6-7 hours of screen on time after a day of use.

And is your device rooted? Coz your bbs stats don't seem to be in place.

Yesterday I disabled the Samsung account and battery becomes a little better over the night, lets see during the day.

Yes BBS won't work in Kitkat if your device is not rooted. Manually check your apps and see if some rogue app is misbehaving.

Rooted stock rom with most bloatware frozen and some user apps Greenified.

Mine :) I'm right in the middle of calibrating but I'm using xtrestolite 1.2.1c and blaze 15 kernel playing around with the lion heart governor.

hi . i have S5 G900 F and stock rom 4.42 Root

what Rom i had be used to save my battry an performance line 2 days ? stock or custom ?

if custom ... plz say . . .

what is the best Rom everyting in S5 G900 F ???? specially Battry
[Galaxy S 5 General] riccardoro:
Can you tell me system apps you have disabled? I can't reach the 4 hours of sot with stock no root in saving mode all the time...
[Galaxy S 5 General] v_square:
I won't mind disabling google apps like google books,games,music,news stand coz I don't use them. Then, I've also disabled ChatOn, Flipboard, My magazine, GalaxyApps, S voice and especially Samsung Push Service.

I also greenify apps like Facebook and some games which tend to always hog memory without any reason.

I get minimum of 7 hours of SOT. With power saving enabled at 30% battery, 8 and a half hours is my average; being on mobile data all the time. If I was on wifi, I can really imagine 9+ without power saving mode.

I have disabled everything and I can't reach 4 hours of screen on time. Maybe cause I use Chrome with WiFi all the time in power saving mode.

Since I have the update ANG2 my battery performance has dropped. I used to get 6h of screen on time. Now I just get around 4. I even had location in Power Saving mode, wifi on all the time. I just turned off the location to see how it behaves. Do you guy have location on al the time? Any other recommendations besides reseting the phone?

No, Dalvik. I thought about switching to art to see if it would improve perfomance but then i read that it doesn't work well on kitkat so i ended up not touching it.
[Galaxy S 5 General] koragg97:
You should try it out. It won't erase or brake anything. If some of your apps don't work, revert back to Dalvik. If all is good, you should see an increase in battery life (if not performance) :) This is a no lose situation. Go ahead !!

[Galaxy S 5 General] gainstatom:
I don't get how people are getting over a day on their phones. Maybe I should factory reset. I have wifi on when I'm using and I have GPS off. Sync is always on though
[Galaxy S 5 General] griffin_1:
Im going to try it out ;) I read about sometime ago and looked it up but seen reports that it was very beta on kitkat so i didn't change, But in this case i think im going to give it a try, as you said, i can always revert back if it doesn't work well.

[MENTION=5146651]gainstatom[/MENTION], I got over a day with wifi on most of the time and gps/data on. I do have all sync off and just sync my email when i feel or need to check, so maybe that is helping on getting a better battary life, but not everyone can or likes to have sync off.

[Galaxy S 5 General] Chaitanyapatel8880:
Try setting the mobile network to GSM only/WCDMA only/LTE only and see in which setting it gives you the best signal and keep it that way as long as you are in that area.

In side my home I am able to get very good signal with WCDMA and GSM, so whenever I am at home I am changing the settings to GSM/WCDMA only. so that my phone will not try to find LTE signal and waste my batterylife...

[Galaxy S 5 General] Kanosha:
Maybe a little bit but don't expect miracles. I can't consistently get around 7+ hrs usage. It depends on a lot of factors including how good your mobile / wifi reception is and what you are doing on the phone.

[Galaxy S 5 General] koragg97:
Is your version the same as the SM-G900F (hardware and software wise)? I'm getting the international version so that's why I'm asking :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] luisr2003:
I updated to ANG2 since it was released and I experienced really really bad battery usage. I used to have location on (power saving), wifi, 3g all the time and I constantly got around 5-6 hours of screen time. I even charged my phone every day and a half or even more. With ANG2 I got 2-3 hours and less than 24h before I had to charge the phone again. I didn't really want to reset the phone so I tried almost everything. What worked for me and gave me the same results as before was just to clear the cache partition in recovery mode. Everyone with the same problem could try this. I hope it works for you as I worked for me :D
[Galaxy S 5 General] Kanosha:
Mine is SM-G900I

- no OK Google or S Voice listening anywhere

- no Google Now

- no multi-window

- Apex launcher running with minimal widgets

Not going to touch:

- GPS high accuracy

- brightness and SoT

- network on LTE

- email, google and weather sych
[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
Have you disabled the always on wifi scanning feature?

I assume since you aren't using Google Now, you have also disabled location reporting?
[Galaxy S 5 General] BoneXDA:
I disabled location reporting. Turning off WiFi scanning - doesn't it force the S5 to depend more on GPS therefore use more battery?
[Galaxy S 5 General] egps2:
I think this will depend on your overall usage and configuration. For example, if you have most location services disabled and have GPS-only enabled then you would only realy use the GPS while you have maps open etc. However if you disable those power-saving location features like WiFi-scanning and have many services that require location data then the reliance on the GPS may use more power. I have experimented with a variety of location configurations and it seems that the power usage is proportional to how much you use those features, not necessarily whether they are enabled or not. Any differences are usually overshadowed by general phone use and for me personally, apps that maintain network connections. Overall I get about 4.5 to 5.5 hours screen-on time with or without location enabled with a maximum of around 6.5 to 7 hours screen-on time with light usage on low brightness on wifi. This is without CPU power saving enabled as I found it made very little difference for me but a slight drop in performance.
[Galaxy S 5 General] bOkz:
Here's mine. Unrooted Samsung Galaxy S5 Duos.
[Galaxy S 5 General] BoneXDA:
I'm a bit disappointed to find that after the Nexus 4, which gave me about 4-4,5 hr SoT, with the same brightness and usage I'm around 4,5-5 at most with the S5 which is supposed to have much better battery life. Of course there's the larger screen, better HW and faster operation, and 4G LTE, not to mention quick camera drainage which is understandable, still, I imaged at least 1-1,5 hrs of extra SoT compared to the N4.
[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
I hover around the 4.5 to 5 hours of screen on time mark as well. LTE just absolutely slaughters the battery on the S5 so unless I stay solely on WiFi, there is no chance I can get more use out of a charge.

I don't know if others have noticed but the ISOCELL sensor is a massive battery pig. I can get more use playing 3D games than I can taking pictures. It literally drops close to a percentage/minute while taking pictures.

IKR! This font's typography is really plain and modern, just how I like it. I just installed iFont from the Play Store and the font's name is Decker. You don't need to root because iFont is already compatible with Samsung's Font Changing System (forgot what it's called); so after downloading and installing the font, you can change it from the Settings App under Display.
