I made a test. CONDITIONS: ECO Mode ON/ WiFi & GPS OFF, 3G ( weak signal 1-2 bars ) / Auto Brightness / Continously watching YouTube ( music videos with no break ) / Volume set to 6, I use FiOO E6 for bigger volume. The Screen was ON ALL this time. Battery dropped from 100% to 80% in 58...

Yea it's stock battery. My model is SIM Free GT-I9505. I usualy get 2h -2h30m ON TIME with lowest brightness possible. 3h would be something really rare... but since last night it seems to last longer. Could it be the update? I also downloaded Snapdragon Battery Guru, but it has 6 more hours of...

I don't know if it's anything related to it, but 2 days ago I got a Firmware Update saying ( fixing some stability issues ). 1. Last night I played with Buzz launcher trying to make a nice screen, and I had the screen set to maximum Brightness. MY phone was about 80% when I started it, and I...

It's ovbious your phone is not defective, since it lasts so long... I was just wondering if mine is defective.... I usually have just 2.5 hours of Time On and 10 hours of total battery life..... so wen I saw people saying they can use it for 2 days... i started to wonder.

Yea, I get almost the same stats... 10 minutes of playing Real Racing drains about 6-7% of the battery... 40 min of browsing/chatting in the subway i loose about 15%. So I guess our battery life is normal... people with huge battery time, they aren't heavy users, that's all.

Could you please turn off your mobile data, and play some real racing for 20 minutes and tell me how much did it drain your battery? Unless you compare with someone doing the exact same thing as you, it's impossible to figure out if your phone has an issue or it's just the way you use it.

I Keep reading this posts, and I see people with 2 hours of screen time, people with 7 hours. As we know, the screen on Galaxy S4 is AMOLED, which means each pixle is individually illuminated. So if you wallpaper is mostly black, it will drain much lesser than someone that has it white. If you...

After you fully charge your phone, restart it. and you will see it comes back with 96-97%... I guess the battery is never 100% charged... it just looks so in the software, but in reality its not.

Whenever you see someone with over 17 hours of Usage it's a total lie. SAMSUNG stated that the battery lasts 17 hours. Try and do this... use your phone until it turns off. Let's say it turned off after using it 10:00 hours. Plug the cable in, let it charge for 30 minutes. You'll have about...

I've got a SanDisk ULTRA 64GB that gives me the unexpected remove error all the time. Yesterday I added a cheap 16gb card that I had in a Sharp Smarphone for about 2 years, worked fine, but got burnt... unusable now ... I'm really thinking of getting a Samsung one... Is yours still good? Is...

Whavever you get DON'T buy SanDisk... they are great cards but have issues with Galaxy S4. I bought one in the same day I got the phone, worked fine 3 days now it keeps giving me a message "SD card unxpectedly removed" every few hours. .. I tried formatting it with all kind of softwares...

Is the heat affecting your phone's performance? I believe not... doing all those 3 things you are saying is really a pain, and if the heat has no negative inpact over your phone's performance, I don't see any reason to do all that. Relax... it's totally normal. I had an iPhone before, and...

I don't think 27 degrees in that much... considering the temperature in your room is about that much 25-27degrees, I don't think it's possible for the phone to go down to 14 degrees. Maybe before the update, the temp messurement software wasn't accurate....
