Nice smooth..

My gf just got the S4 and her screen seems to randomly turn on when the phone is locked. Any ideas? This is causing some drain for her.

Ok, what the h*ll is wrong with my battery then? Like what is that bloody gap in the middle of the graph?

This can't be right, can it? Almost fully charged but only 1 hr or so left on my battery? Brand new phone, turned off most notifications, air gestures, etc. as suggested. Honestly, I'm doing the same things I always did on my iphone 4 and the battery life is simply horrible. Last night, I took a picture after charging my phone fully. When I woke up, the "active" camera app had eaten 25% of the charge.

edit: and i always have my screen set to 10% brightness.

I really do love this phone, after getting used to android--except for the battery life.

How did u get 22% on the screen usage??? i am getting around 60%...can you help.

Most new displays are very bright so 50% is like 100% on older phones. I usually have both my Nexus 7 and my Razr HD set to about 15 to 25% unless I'm outdoors.

Turn of auto-brightness...it is NOT a power saving feature and it will consume considerably more power than just leaving your brightness set a static level (assuming that static level is at least below 50%)



Never. I'm certainly not throttling the CPU.

I agree. Set your screen as low as comfortable. The 0-100 really has no meaning.

Hmmmm Maybe turn the camera app off. Unless you you need instantaneous picture access when sleeping of course.

that was just a fluke--i didn't think it would keep running after snapping one picture. but it sure did eat a lot of battery life!

the thing that surprised me is the time it claims i have on a fully-charged battery. looking back at everyone else's screenshots, they have much more time left, on way less charge. unless i'm not understanding that feature correctly.

for example--someone on a 59% charge has one day+ left on their battery (page three of this thread), but my phone--with 98%--has 1.4 hours left?

thanks for any and all replies, by the way. this forum really helped me get used to my alien samsung

I think you are interpreting the readings incorrectly. On your screen shot I see that your display says that 1 hour 41. minute and 7 seconds on battery. Just like on the iPhone. When you fully charge the device, and when you unplug it, you get a standby time, thus it's when you unplug your device from the charger is when it starts counting. So that 1 hour 41 minute means your standby time since you last fully charged and unplugged it.. It does NOT mean you have 1 hour 41 minutes left till it's dead.



Here is an example of mine. If you can see from my screenshot, It displays 1 day 13 hours 33 minute on battery. This means that 1 day 13 hours and 33 minutes ago is when I unplugged it from the charger and has been running on battery for 1 day 13 hours and 33 minutes and is at 22%. And it does not mean that I have 1 day 13 hours and 33 minutes left.

How are you guys getting so much battery life from your phones? I see up to 12 hours of screen on time, and I'm not getting anywhere near that great. I get up, my phone is at 100%. In like 45 minutes, I'm down to about 95% with only 5 minutes of light web bettering l browsing on LTE. Phone sits off all day in pocket at school. Then in the 2 hours commute to another school, I'm down to about 75% with possible music playing and nothing else. Then on the car ride home, I'm on the web heavily, and by the end of the night I'm down to about 30%. Only things ever on are WiFi when at home, vibration, and power saving mode. I end up with about 2 hours plus of screentime. I also use Snapdragon Battery Guru on my device. Can anyone help me with figuring out if this is normal, and if it's below average how I can fix it. Any help is appreciated!
