Turning off wifi and data has a negligible effect on battery life. In fact it can be the opposite effect if you keep turning it on and off.
I don't think he needs to do much at all really seeing as hes constantly getting over 1 day of uptime and 5+ hours of screentime!
It will be interesting to see if using power saving mode makes much difference to his phone, i bet it doesn't !
Rooting seems to help massively from what i have seen. Or its simply a case of doing a factory reset to recalibrate the phone to the battery.

I just joined this forum for this problem, and thought I would chime in. I used to get several days out of my Samsung Galaxy S5 battery because it's basically just turned on to receive calls and texts, but I rarely use it for anything else so screen time is less than 4%. I have had the phone for less than 4 months. Less than a week ago, the phone beeped because it was going dead, which was odd because normally it would have had over 50% charge remaining. Now, I cannot even go 20 hours with it just sitting on the counter unused, and it is warm to the touch. This is what is found under "Battery":
Cell standby: 16%
Android System: 16%
Android OS: 12%
Google Services: 11%
Device Idle: 10%
Wifi: 10%
Voice calls: 7%
Lookout: 5%
Screen: 4%
Something has clearly changed with this phone, and I don't know what. I have tried restarting the phone, turning it off for a while, then re-booting, all to no avail. I am using almost 10% an hour at times without even using the phone. It is a joke.

You should post up the actually data pictures so we can see the graph. But I suspect something is awake. Turn off sync and turn off wifi and mobile data. Clear cache. Go to app manager and see what is running and turn off what is not needed.
That's not good at all with power save mode. Try turning off wifi and mobile data when the phone is asleep and see what happens. clear cache and turn off/force stop apps in application manager..
The problem is DCMprovider, it's suck 40% of the battery , how can i stop it ?
Thanks

I agree, I don't think power saving actually slows down battery drain.
2 previous posts of mine in this thread, with power saving off :
22.5 hours, 7.5 hours screen time, 13% battery left.
26 hours, 5 hours screen time, 2% battery left.

And that steep drop off in my last battery history screen shot is due to Netflix, which I imagine uses a lot of energy.

Yep i knew it, PSM is inconsistent to say the least you got better results with your particular setup and usage without it! Personally i get better results with it on. I guess it depends on your usage and what apps you use as well.
Hopefully all these battery issues will go away with 4.4.4, who knows.
Normally the battery drainage problems are produced by some system or application process which prevents the Phone into deep sleep Mode. The most common process that produces these problems it is called gpsd. But there are many other...

To be honest this is simply design flaw, nothing else. I hang around with 4 guys. 3 of us bought Galaxy 5’s from some dude who supplies electronic devices. And all of us complain about the same thing - battery does not last an hour on full charge, alternatively, I plug the device to my Mac at 60% the thing drains down to zero and automatically switches off and start charging again. Original Samsung battery!! Bought a new battery, same story. It is the worst mobile device experience I’ve ever had to face. The phone stays on charge the entire office hours and only lasts and hour.
It sounds like a joke but I sunk my R6000 on this device 3 weeks ago.

Delete battery apps and task managers. Also don't close old apps in the background. That will help.

Only an hour??? lol something seriously wrong there. Oh wait "bought from some dude who supplies eletrical devices" yup that'll be why then lol.
I'm not exactly sure what it is, but I believe you can turn it off
Under your all apps page, it should be called unified daemon

I've searched all over and it seems there are plenty of people having battery drain issues but have yet to find the exact cause and solution. In my case, my phone worked perfectly for about 3 months, then the battery started to drain dramatically with no change as far as use or applications installed. Losing about 5% to 10% an hour just sitting idle. A restart will temporarily fix the issue for about a day (lately a few hours). I have done factory reset, pulled battery, drained completely and recharged. Nothing has worked. This has been ongoing for about two weeks. Since most of these discussions just seem to abruptly end without stating any solution (fix, returning phone or switching to iPhone), maybe the problem goes away by itself...?
By the way...disabling wifi, data, lowering brightness, changing launcher, and even power saving mode (regular not ultra) did not help.
