[PARTLY FIXED] Galaxy S4 I9515 (5.0.1 Lollipop) Battery Drain due to "Android System"

Hi Guys,

I had my second handed S4 since 8 November and I noticed battery draining from the beginning. It's only draining while using the phone, when it's in idle it doesn't drain the battery. Also I found out that "Android System" took about 20%-25% of the battery (about 10% more then the screen, see the screenshot).

Things I already tried:

- Wipe cache partition; made my whole device crash (all apps Force Closed).

- Due to that I had to do a full factory reset; also didn't change anything, still draining

- Yesterday I flashed CM12.1 on my device which was a huge dissaster because the screen didn't respond to anything. So I had to flash Samsung there Firmware on it and I chose 4.4.2.

- 4.4.2 was defenitly better with the battery and there was not Android System eating up my battery. But the WiFi button stayed greyed out so I coudn't use that as my daily driver aswell.

- Now I'm back at 5.0.1 and the battery drain is still there even after flashing another firmware on it using Odin.

I already ordered a new battery to see if that may fix it. There is a chance the battery is false because i can spin it around on a table and it charges even quicker then is drains. Searched the internet for days and tried everything i could find without succes so far. Hope anyone can become my best friend and let me enjoy my S4 again the way it should be.

Thank you in advance,

Can't send my screenshot because I'm a new user, will send it when able to!

UPDATE: A new battery doesn't fix anything aswell.

PARTLY FIXED: I've installed Polish Lollipop software on it, reduces the battery drain altough it's not as good as in KitKat!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimiraikkonen85:
I have the same problem with 9515 as Android System drains the battery so fast even while the phone is IDLE. Can you share the exact solution? Polish Lollipop? Where can I obtain it safely? Sammobile? Does it require root?

My rom's CSC is UAE (United Arab Emirates) as I beleive.

I know the keyboard is like a cover, however, I'm not too keen on having the back and camera not protected. So can I buy the official book cover, and still having it "closed" in book format with the keyboard?
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] zurih:
I'm interested to know this as-well :)
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] Great_Pumpkin:
No you can't, the keyboard increases the size a bit and the cover will not fit both thickness or width wise.. I have both, I wish you could. Outside of that, the keyboard is as good as any third party keyboard functionally, fits really well and doesn't increase the tablet size as much as most keyboard cases and looks great. The battery lasts quite long and charges fast. There is a button that autolocks the tablet when it is closed against the keyboard which is a bonus.. The keyboard doesn't hinge to the tablet which is a little strange, it just sits in a little groove at the top of the keyboard, but it doesn't put any pressure or torque on the tablet. It does make it easy to use it in landscape or portrait. As there's no hinge, you can't adjust the keyboard-to-tablet angle which is a little disappointing, however the angle itself isnt bad. Overall I would recommend it....

But I agree, the camera bit is a bummer
[Galaxy Tab S Accessories] khanfuze:
I got the OEM book cover and sent it back. When sitting in it's upright position it wobbles around vary easily when touching the screen. It also collapses out of that position easily because the only thing holding it up is a weak magnet. Not worth the money at all.

I have a rooted Galaxy Note 3 running Android 4.3. My YouTube Adaway app was working just fine until I updated it. Now it is saying that there is no interface for the app. There was definitely an interface before. And the app is not working at all anymore. However, all of the threads I see about the app indicate that it works just fine. How might I be able to get the interface to show up and get the app to work again?
[G3 General] KiaTheKing:
Hello guys supp? Just wanted to share one more video about g3 so hope you like it :))

Hw to install rom from TWRP:

Boot into TWRP/CWM Recovery (Shut down your phone, Press and Hold Volume - and POWER till you see the LG logo appears, then immediatly let the keys and hold them again till you see message about factory reset, just press power button 3 times, dont worry it will not factory reset your phone, it will bring u to recovery )

Go to Install/flash .zip/Rom (name) .zip and swipe or press YES and it will says: Reboot device? go to NO

Now you should flash Gapps, repeat same proccess ( Install/flash .zip/name_gapps.zip ) (GAPPS stands for Google Apps... That includes stuff like the gmail app, google maps, google goggles, etc. ) Do not reboot device, stay into recovery

Now you should do full wipe: Go to advanced/wipe/check: data and swipe (if ure using CWM go just to YES)

Go to advanced/wipe/check: cashe (if ure using CWM go just to YES)

Go to advanced/wipe/check: system (if ure using CWM go just to YES)

Go to advanced/wipe/check: dalvik cashe (if ure using CWM go just to YES)

I'm tempted to change dpi to take advantage of 4k screen but wanted confirmation if doing so would void warranty. Also how do you change dpi and do you need to be rooted?

Thanks
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Any modifacation voids your warrenty

And to edit your DPI you need to edit /system/build.prop and look for a line that says

"ro.sf.lcd_density=480"

(480 part may differ per user or device)

( i believe 4k dpi is 820)

[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
I dont have a Z5 but Sony Xperia devices typically get a working Recovery shortly after release

I have tried pushing superUser through ADB many times logged in as sudo or root and it has been fine.

You can look up guides on "how to install ADB" and how to push "superSu through Adb"

It may be that my Z2's bootloader is unlocked hence why im able to root it so easily but i havent the time to test the fact.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sev7en:

Im not sure about how it is with the Z5P

But with my Z2 2 things stopped, post processing and xreality which in my opinion both are a waste of time
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CLShortFuse:
You can change you DPI by running

adb shell wm density 400

and reset it by running

adb shell wm density reset

You don't have to root or unlock your bootloader to change screen density.

[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Craleb:
Yeah the stock launcher won't adapt to the DPI the way you'd think. You could try Nova with the 400 DPI.

What DPI setting did you use?

Is it usable day to day?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xeon:
Again I cannot get the same GUI you have in your video and I tried changing the wm size and DPI....

What DPI did use to get the Xperia launcher work correctly ? I'm using 1920x1080 @ 320 DPI but it's a bit tiny although I like it I'd rather have your settings.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xirt0n:
I like wm size 1440x2560 with density set to 420 and remember that your font size settings in settings>screen plays a role, and I set this to Normal at those resolution settings. At stock resolution, i use smalles font size.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xeon:
I don't really like going 2K for nothing. I just wastes battery. On the other side, the 4K resolution with 480 dpi will give you a totally different experience ( chrome , viber and other apps render differently ) regardless of power consumption.

Chrome for instance is similar to the one on my PC.

I'm on 1080p @ 320 dpi and very happy. No extra juice needed.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xirt0n:
Is there a way to make it look like 1440x2560 at 420dpi with only changing the dpi?

And will I still be able to put 6 icons (plus the middle default "menu" button) at the bottom where u normally can put only 4? because you can at 1440x2560 :)
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xeon:
You mean this ? That's mine on 1080p @ 320 dpi
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xirt0n:
Yeah, thats exactly what I meant, those at the bottom (chrome, play store, skype etc.)

Can you get that by only changing dpi with stock launcher?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xeon:
Thats stock. Just changed dpi to 320 from adb

Try it and tell me which one you prefer... Cheers

BTW please share your current 1440p home screenshot.

Thanks
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xirt0n:
Oh, thats neat!

I didn't really try changing just the dpi a whole lot, as it seemed to really mess things up at high numbers (600+) so I guess I never really tried lower values before changing size aswell.

Will try it right now, just have to wait till it boots up as I just flashed support for style cover, which Auras76 uploaded in his ROM thread, and I wiped dalvik so it takes a few minutes!

I will post a screen as soon as its booted.

---------- Post added at 02:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:45 AM ----------

It wont let me take screenshots because i changed resolution :S
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xeon:
So how is it ?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xirt0n:
It looks really similar to 1440x2560 @ 420dpi :)

Going to use this a while and see how I like it, but so far I think I am going to stick with 1080 @ 320dpi, I can already notice power consumption is lower!
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xeon:
But is it faster than 1440p ? or same performance ?
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KbaB.BroS:
I'm getting lags on 4k at least.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xirt0n:
Well, I didnt get to test it that much yet, but will definately pay attention to performance.

I did have some problems, but I am still not sure if its related to changing the resolution to 2K/4K, but what happens sometimes is that my phone freezes and the screen goes blue and "inky", like it is broken, but after flashing a couple of times, the phone resets and seems fine again.

I will report back if this happens now aswell!
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xeon:
Well no phone can handle 4K all the time no matter what processor / GPU it has... It's freaking sucking 1200-1600 mAh when screen is on doing nothing but google chrome.

At last I boosted the speaker for ringtones!!! (though it's just about 15% more)

So you have to:

-install in your rom

-reboot to install driver

-flash NEON universal zip

Voila ça marche :cool:
[HTC One A9] mcbright80:
I currently use stock 5.2 and flashed a separate atmos zip and neon driver. Just flash stock and then driver afterwards. No need to wipe or reboot other than cache. I used the Viperatmos version at first and I believe that one u do not have to flash the driver as it is already in the package.

If anyone can get xhifi workong as well thatd be awesome. I went through his zips and it installs the same as FX but just can't get it off asking for driver to be installed.
