He doesnt want to have a custom recovery or something like that on his phone.

His Knox counter is already 0x1 just because of root (I know how to reset it)

With stock recovery you can also clear your cache[emoji6]

My battery life always sucks ?
[Galaxy S 5 General] italia0101:
That's odd, for me the m8 was very good on battery, tbh both are pretty damn good with battery, with both at the tops of the lists

One thing to note is the gs5 due to being worse at heat dissipation will throttle more in intense situations, which could save you battery at the expense of performance, the m8 is better with the heat, so during intense situations it stays at higher freqs longer and therefore will drain the battery faster.

Guess it depends on the usage

I have to charge my phone 2 times a day. Sometimes when the phone is in idle, after 5-7 mins it looses 5%
[Galaxy S 5 General] slimc84:
Widgets do have an effect on battery, but all depends on what the update time for those widgets are. I average almost 24hrs and 5 1/2hrs of screen time. Smart stay, smart pause are OFF, I am hooked up to wifi for about 12hrs a day, my magazine is disabled and the only widget I have is beautiful widgets.
[Galaxy S 5 General] noideaforusername:
Got great battery the 2nd cycle:

More than 2 hours screen on time more than my S4, and I still have some juice left:cool:
[Galaxy S 5 General] simacca:
What's happened to your network signal? It's not showing anything in your screenshots. 3g, 4G, etc etc.
[Galaxy S 5 General] noideaforusername:
From 10% down I switched WiFi off. Anyway, the rest of the time I only used WiFi.
[Galaxy S 5 General] simacca:
I see. I get between 4 and 5 hours screen time with a mixture of wifi and 4G.
[Galaxy S 5 General] jalcon9:
Uhhh that might be the best battery ive ever had a smartphone have in my life. My S5 battery is pretty good, but that's........wtf good.
[Galaxy S 5 General] hung2900:
Actually I can totally get that result on my old Note 2 4.1.1. Still need time for improvement in S5, expected something better.
[Galaxy S 5 General] simacca:
I'm finding the battery life better than my note 2 on 4.3 so far.
[Galaxy S 5 General] hung2900:
4.3 on Note 2 is a disaster with the battery life:eek: And no Perseus kernel also:crying:
[Galaxy S 5 General] simacca:
I found 4.3 as good as 4.1.1 on my note 2.
[Galaxy S 5 General] -sandro-:
It can do better, I've seen people getting 6h30m on LTE always on (no WiFi) on the one m8 or 9h on WiFi only on the moto g.
[Galaxy S 5 General] crazymook:
Getting awful life. Bought the phone on Friday evening. Its lasting all day but screen on time pales in comparison to my m7 One. MAYBE 4 hours, maybe.

I switched to ART yesterday afternoon and life is even worse but I attribute that to the phone basically be "updated", which, in my experience, takes a few days for things to settle back down.

So I guess what Im saying is, so far, I am less than thrilled w/ the phones battery life. But willing to give it the next few days to turn itself around.
[Galaxy S 5 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
I got this yesterday. I was using my phone a lot as you can see and I still had plenty of juice left but I wanted to charge it overnight for work today. I'm very happy with my battery life so far.
[Galaxy S 5 General] simacca:
Don't forget these are brand new phones and the battery will take at least a good few days to settle down and get optimal battery life.
[Galaxy S 5 General] noideaforusername:
Yup, on the 2nd cycle of the S4 I got barely 5 hours screen on time in 1 day off charger. With the S5 I get almost 8 hours of screen on time in 2 days off charger.

Now with the S4 and my usage I got almost 6 hours screen on time in 2 days off the charger. So if it will be the same as with the S4, after it settled down I think I can even get 10 hours screen on time with my kind of usage :good:
[Galaxy S 5 General] RuffBuster:
Yeah that does suck a little compared to what I'm getting. What screen brightness you using? Do you need to have Bluetooth always enabled? What are you app stats like on GSAM? What firmware you using? Are you pure stock? There are so many things that affect battery...
[Galaxy S 5 General] someone261:
I'm pure stock on version 5.0, screen brightness was on about 50% most of the time, I have the Moto 360 so the Bluetooth always On.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Soufiansky:
Try one day without the moto and BT off , you will definitely get much better battery life.
[Galaxy S 5 General] someone261:
I love my moto, without the phone it will be just a regular watch.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Soufiansky:
You didn't understand , try it only "one" day to know if the problem is your battery or it's only because you're always connected to your watch.

And i bet it's because of it.
[Galaxy S 5 General] someone261:
I'll try it just to be sure

Hi guys i have a S5(G900F)

Which Rom& KErnel do u prefer ?

- good battery life

-HDMI function

-good camera quality, stock camera?

-stable
[Galaxy S 5 General] m4ck99:
So, I spent the last few weeks playing with a bunch of different MM custom roms/kernels on my S900I and was not able to find a decent combination that didn't have some sort of show-stopper for me:

* CM-based roms having bluetooth stutter issues.

* AOSP-based roms not having fast-charge (and not being able to get a custom kernel working with it enabled).

* Average to sub-par battery life.

* Stability, low volume levels, etc etc

What I've ended up with however, I think is a very good combination:

* MM 6.0.1 Stock Rom (I used India variant for 900I) - http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/general/galaxy-s5-g900i-marshmallow-update-t3364101

* TWRP custom recovery 3.0.0 - https://dl.twrp.me/klte/twrp-3.0.0-0-klte-klte.img.tar.html

* Smart Debloater (removed almost every piece of bloat software) - http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/development/mod-smart-debloater-t2802034

* Boeffla kernel 2.1-beta3 - http://www.boeffla.de/index.php/downloads/current-kernel-versions

* Plus other usual stuff like SuperSU, XPosed, etc

It has been rock solid, everything I need (as mentioned above) just works, get stock Samsung camera, and battery life has been great. (Admittedly low usage today but you get the general idea):
[Galaxy S 5 General] Polkalypse:
If it's not too difficult, can you put a step by step procedure on how to flash this? I'm on a custom rom on my s5 that absolutely sucks up too much battery and I badly need the change.
[Galaxy S 5 General] kokbiloking:
Guys i am having a problem with my G900F.. When i put charger it starts charging slowly 35% in one hour Then i notes current and found it was 700mA .this problem goes when i restart phn and current goes around 1500mA But without restart it only have 700mA.. Everything used is original ...
[Galaxy S 5 General] -sandro-:
Replace the cable.
[Galaxy S 5 General] kkijlstra:
Awesome! But there is no Boeffla for the 900i? did the 900f version work? Ive just changed to stock 6.0.1 from CM13 and find it laggy every now and again but have only disabled bloat through titanium backup.....

[Galaxy S 5 General] m4ck99:
Yep - the 900F works fine for me. I used Samsung MM - Test v2.1-beta3
[Galaxy S 5 General] m4ck99:
Yep - this is the process I went through, there's not too much to it:

1. Flash 6.0.1 Stock ROM via Odin v3.11.1 (I used Stock 900I) - phone needs to be in download mode.

https://samsung-firmware.org/download/GALAXY-S5/2932/INS/G900IDDU1CPD1/G900IODD1CPC3/

2. Flash TWRP v3.0.0 - also via Odin, and phone in download mode. Make sure it's this version, the later version seems to have some problem with Aroma which will stop Smart Debloater running.

https://dl.twrp.me/klte/twrp-3.0.0-0-klte-klte.img.tar.html

3. Run Smart Debloater (run from recovery) - remove whatever you don't want (for me it was almost everything non-essential)

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/development/mod-smart-debloater-t2802034

4. Install Boeffla (900F MM Test v2.1-beta3)

www.boeffla.de/index.php/downloads/current-kernel-versions

5. Install SuperSU and whatever else you want :)

... for me this is a really good setup, lack of battery life (among other things) was driving me nuts with other ROMs. Screenshot from today's batt stats:
[Galaxy S 5 General] kkijlstra:
What do you mean when you say 'other stuff like SuperSU, XPosed'? Which modules and tweaks specifically? I am running exactly the same setup and not getting anywhere near this battery life?!
[Galaxy S 5 General] m4ck99:
Really? Ok so I removed everything possible with the debloater. In addition to that I have installed:

SuperSU 2.76

Xposed Framework - the only modules I have are APM+ and App Settings to force DPI back to 480 for stock camera to appear properly (it's set to 300 for everything else)

Standard Open GApps

... other than that it's just other "normal" games/apps. I'm not a gamer-level user but use Slack/Gmail/Spotify/Soundcloud a fair amount.

What sort of batt life are you getting? Surely it must be something close...
[Galaxy S 5 General] htb2050:
Vanir commotio. Build from 24/10. I was mostly reading books and watched an episode of Shameless. I love the standby though. The cirrent 7 roms had abysmal baftery life so i am sticking with this rom for now.
[Galaxy S 5 General] MrMetaton:
And what is your on screen time?

Becouse stand by or deep sleep etc doesnt rly the issue with most roms... Especially if you dowclock,undervolt...

Do you have any kernel setup to share ? Like what governor you use etc? Could you maybe run a GFX Battery test?

Sorry for the lot of questions here but i'm kinda amused. I mean i'm doing the same i1m on stock 6.0.1 etc . But i dont seem to have the same results as you...

If i downclock,undervolt at fixed 300mhz for the processor (becouse mostly i only use FB messenger maybe a few other apps that doesnt require anything...) Powersave governor. Also powersave on in the Android settings. GPU downclocked and set to power save.

And i use the phone at around 50% brightness most of the time.

I can get around 8hour on screen time... With the screen turned off i cnanot tell sh*t becouse after 7hour it didnt dropped a single % ... (Tested it while i was asleep . Also at that time messenger was dleted so it wont keep connection. But wifi was on)

So yea please could you share some more infos?

I know I'm bumping an old topic but I just wanted to share my battery life after I bought a brand new non-OEM battery. The S5's support ended some time in 2016 so the OEM batteries have been sitting on shelves for years now and have lost much of their capacity (I know, changed 2 OEM ones in 6 months). So here are my stats attached below as pics. Usage is as follows:

1. 4G was turned on at all times except from 1AM to 8AM while I was sleeping. And the last 30 mins before plugging it in I switched to WiFi.

2. Watched 1.5-2 hours of YouTube.

3. Listened to music for around 2 hours with headphones. I have Viper4Android running then.

4. Using Greenify to hibernate some apps normally running in the background like Facebook Lite and some others.

5. Got Amplify Xposed module and limited all safe-to-limit wakelocks to the max value (600). Got other mods too but none of them are for battery saving.

6. Brightness was set to auto so I didn't actually see at how much it was but it was never hard to read nor I changed it manually to save battery life.

7. I'm using MagMa ROM VX1 PCE and a black theme for everything except 3rd party apps.

8. I used Facebook Messenger, Facebook Lite, Instagram, Tinder and Samsung's Browser (also enabled black theme there on all sites). The last 3 I used more than the first 2 - Browser the most of all I think. They all add up to around 2h SOT.

9. Updated my apps via Google Play two times throughout the day.

10. Not using any powersave modes nor CPU/GPU limiters, just enjoying my phone :)

Hello! i have been for awhile running the Boeffla kernel v2.5. I am operating the Samsung Galaxy S5 (sm-g900f). I have upgraded my battery from stock battery to the PowerBear 2800mah battery.

if you would like to know any details regarding how i have configured my phone, i welcome your PM.

below is a URL with a group of photos which i have uploaded in case you care to have a look.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/cSNPQcVkXz19owsE6

I have been and am well pleased with the results.

a "thanks" to Mr. Boeffla for his work on the sm-g900f kernel. Here is a link to thread which contains his kernel https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/orig-development/kernel-boeffla-kernel-1-0-beta1-23-03-t3062073

a special "thanks" to anyone who was previously or is currently involved with the PowerBear battery line.

also, thanks to Samsung.

You know there's probably something running in the background as I found out today Google plus kept my phone awake for 45 mn plus 2 other apps and I still got a good 4hrs screen on time with 3g always on and 32% left

Likely so...but since Kit Kat has come out, you cant check wake locks without rooting your phone so I'm kind of screwed on that front.

I'm currently burning off 3.6%/hr. Been on 2 hours. Screen on 38 minutes. Held awake 27 minutes...down to 90% already.

100% mobile data.
[Galaxy S 5 General] bkolarov92:
That's my experience. I think the CPU load is quite high and Android system process often jumps to 40+%. I have turned off Location service, Wi-fi, bluetooth, download booster, vibration turned off, NFC, turned off, motion, gestures and air view all turned off, back up and reset turned off, some of the apps I disabled, turned off notifications for messengers and facebook, and restricted background data. Turned off sync for apps and email. In develop. mode turned off the 3 animation settings.

I think the KitKat 4.4.2 is quite heavy and cause that CPU load which should be at idle mode maximum up to 20%. In use, I can feel the device is getting quite hot and battery drains quickly. I hope they will fix that with 4.4.3 VERY soon.
[Galaxy S 5 General] skivnit:
The thing that's eating battery is bam_dmux_waklock which is triggered by mobile data
[Galaxy S 5 General] bkolarov92:

[Galaxy S 5 General] crazymook:

I done some settings and it seems to improve it.

On the WI-FI, there is a setting which says: Always allow scanning TURN OFF

Location, Bluetooth, Download booster, Screen mirroring, NFC, Sync, Smart stay, pause, all gestures and air options TURN OFF

Vibration TURN OFF

Backup and reset TURN OFF

Automatic data and time;time zone TURN OFF

The three options for animation in develp. mode TURN OFF

Limit background processes At most 2

Disabled ChatON, Drive, Flipboard, Play Music, Google+

In S-voice, Open via the home key TURN OFF; Voice wake-up TURN OFF

At the moment is on battery 7 hours and it is on 71%.

Screen 28%, Android system 17%, Android OS, 11%.

At the moment my CPU load is still around 50%, however, there was a moment in the day it was 25-30 at most.
