S5 active battery life.. - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5

Used my phone for a little while with the flash light, screen dimmed all the way down. Light was used for probably 5 minutes or so. Anyone else having this kind of battery life?

This is what I get regularly, with moderate use. Using DK 4.0, no apps like Greenify or anything else to save battery.

Left my phone overnight with gravity box and saw a 0% drop in battery. I'm happy with that.
What i've found murders the battery is being connected to the internet and interaction with the handset, ie gaming, music, movies, browsing. Standby is fantastic.

I actually removed greenify and went back to autostarts (superb app) and my phone has now been alive for some time now
1d 5h 59m 40s on battery and 2h 46m onscreen time.
Do you have Cell standy in your list of battery usage stats? I also have candy crush firmly in third and then phone idle.
Please keep in mind that this thread is about full screen caller id and not about battery life

Battery Life After Update to 4.4.4 (At&t)

I accidentally updated my phone to 4.4.4 about 2 weeks ago(didn't want to update b/c i do not like the new dialer). For the first week i didn't notice any difference in the phone. The past week though my phone's been dying very quick compared to normal the two biggest users are the screen and voice calls as usual so I am not sure what this is due to. I would like to figure this out though as it is beginning to become a problem.
Need as many screen shots as you can post to help.
If you're rooted, then we can see wakelocks too.
Try Gsam, it says miles more than the stock battery usage screens. Go from 100 percent to about 10 and take the screen shots. No reboots during, or Gsam will reset.
If you aren't rooted... Will be a little harder.
If you want to maximize your battery, see the first 4 posts in the Battery thread in my signature. It's for the N5...but it all applies to the Moto as well. ?

Nothing in your screenshots seem out of place.
What are you doing in those 8 minutes? And what screen brightness?
I'm thinking it's your usage, that's all.
Without seeing wakelocks, it's hard to find issues. According to your graph though, your phone seems to sleep well.
Is location on? Google now? Are you using the options in Android device manager? Is location reporting on? Those are all battery eaters.
If you play a game for 8 minutes, with the screen bright, or even leaving it on auto brightness in a well lit spot... Would be completely normal to use 12 percent.
---------- Post added at 07:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------
For the screen to use 49 percent of your battery in 13 hours, with only 2 hours screen time, tells me it's running very bright.
Keeping it dimmer, and adjusting manually would probably cut the drain down a lot.
I use "display brightness" from the play store. Very customizable and you get a slider always on your screen.
In that time is just text messages and yes the screen brightness is auto. But like I said this is draining it nor then it has in the past. I don't use Google now, or location services.

Please try Gsam... Even without root. Go from 100 to about 10 and post screens from it. Including kernel wakelocks and the "screen" screen. ?
Just texting, that's a lot of drain. Especially if you have those things off completely. Location especially. Is it off, or you just aren't using it to your knowledge?

Location services can be linked to all sorts of battery issues. The first step is turning it right off to see if the problems stop. Then go from there. ?
My European Moto X also drains within 10 hours of moderate use. Also for me, the screen uses about 40% of the battery while I have almost no screen on time. could this be the Active Display feature that is draining the phone?
my phone is bricked ... anyone have AT&T 4.4.4 ?

Bad Battery Issues

I'm experiencing some pretty poor battery life and can't seem to figure out what to do to make it any better. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Attached are screenshots detailing a typical day for me. Running stock 4.4.4 not rooted.
Need more details from the battery screen so we can we got often it's awake and what your service signal is over that time period. Also download better battery stats.
Here's a post about your top kernel wakelock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36736462&postcount=7049
Not really an issue.
And without root, you can view your app wakelocks, which make solving battery issues very difficult.
If you can't root, I suggest you start by turning location services completely off. Only use it when you need it, then off again. See if that helps. It's likely an app, or combination of apps... Especially social apps, exploiting location services.
Start there. And if you can root... We can see your app wakelocks and finding the issue could be far easier. ?

---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------
If your signal is ever low while on data, not WiFi... That can drop your battery level extremely quick.
I have been experiencing similar thing.. I'm at 19% now and 9hours 17 min. I am rooted running 4.4 has been declining for quite sometime..I also have noticed I've only had 2 bars at home..? Not an extremely have user but more than average.
Slapped my Moto
Here's another example of a typical day for me that I took a while back. Anything look out of the ordinary? Didn't take a kernel wakelock one that day.
As I said, you need gsam root companion and then post times held awake and times waking device. Those are the important screens to see. And after a long discharge. A short time frame screen shot won't tell the story as well.
Without those we can only guess here.
Kj, I installed that app..I'm going to go threw the day, how do I post at the end of the day?

We're hijacking this thread.
Run from 100 to 10 or 15 percent left and take the screen shots in gsam. The main screen, and app screen and in app screen click the drop down and take shots of times waking device and held awake time.
No reboots or gsam resets.
Best to post tho in the battery thread in general. Or even the one in my signature. Just specify your device if you do that.
This thread is someone else's. ?
My moto x has been doing the same thing for the last two weeks or so. I'd burn through the battery down to about 10% in 10 hours with less than an hour of screen time.
Last night I decided not to plug my phone in to the charger when i got home. I used the phone throughout the night until i went to bed. The phone was literally stuck at 1% for about 25 minutes of use right before i went to bed. I woke up this morning and the phone was still on at 1%. It did die moments later. I think the battery stats are not calibrated correctly, but I'm not really sure. I'm going to try running it down to 0% a few times and see what happens.

I just want to help you in order to get good battery life..
These are the common mistakes that I made which causes battery drain-->
location on high accuracy, full brightness, WiFi always on, sync always on, screentime out minimize to 5s in order to save battery, Data enabled & Bluetooth always on..
Above shown are examples which leads to battery drain ..I personally use greenify(non-root) to stop running apps in background.. I have seen significant change in battery life by using this type of apps
As I said, for most helpful battery tips, and help if anyone wants it.... Go here.... Posts 1 to 4 are the important ones...
[Battery Life Help] Troubleshoot battery issues here!
Just specify your device for help, if not an N5. ?
I generally do a factory reset every six months or so and that significantly increases battery life. Not as good as the first few months but that's too be expected with an aging device w/o a removable battery

Just wanted to update after having a similar problem and letting my phone go all the way down to zero and automatic shutdown.
I charged my phone at work today and did not pull it off the charger until around noon. After having similar stats as the OP today is a different story.
I'm at 12 hours with 41% left. 1 hour 7 minutes of screen time. For the last couple of weeks I was often down to 15% after 12 hours or less.
I've been the same..I just spent the 25 for sunshine to unlock my boot loader and flashed a new kernel..

[Q] Batter life help

I'm on stock, and here are the pictures.
I heard people are getting incredible battery life so that they can use their phones for like two days. I'm just wondering if I'm getting the full battery life or if something is eating it up. I have Sync NFC and all those things turned off.
Thanks!
Something going crazy with urs.

No power save. That gave me less battery. As far as it goes you need to see what apps are killing ur phone. Screen time on is key cause it means you are using ur phone. So you need to start with better battery stats and see what's going on.

Find out what app is waking yoour phone. That is what is most likely the problem . 99% of the time its an app or user error . Wakelock detector . Or cpu spy to see if your phone is deep sleeping or not .
Hope that helps cause I highly doubt your phone is deep sleeping with drain like that . You need to find what app is keeping it awake

Also see how much you are draining per hour while the device screen is off . If you are using it for 5 or 6 hours with the screen on then that isnt bad . With moderate use I charge my battery every other day.
Every other day? I can barely get by one day.
I did a complete reset, and the battery life got better. I'm at 45% with 3hours screen time so i don't know waht the problem was..
and how would you found out what is waking up my phone?
Thank so much for the replies!
I didn't have great battery life either.. But I see that Google play music runs in the backround constantly, I end up closing it like ten times a day.. I froze that app and it made a HUGE difference for me at least.. If you don't use it give it a try
