Should my phone be using this much ram without any application running? (See picture) and could this be causing my battery drain? Thank you in advance!
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
Could be, I have about 475 mb with out any apps running, but I have a very debloated rom, almost no Google or Samsung apps, libs or scripts. but if you have 3g cdma on constantly it can seriously drain your battery. Cdma antennas have always use a lot of power. Idk abot 4G lte cuz I don't have it in my area.

Ah thank you kirt I had a feeling my 3g was taking all my battery when I have it on my phone last 7-8 hours but when I have it off and moderate use it can go up too 20 hours. And btw guys I'm using FreeSonic Rom. If that helps. I just think its too much ram being used :/

Guys I do not know what is going on. When I run aosp roms I get horrible drain. No matter how much I use my phone cell standby is always the culprit. Any ideas

So I'm using the jugernaught 5.0 from with the streamline kernal. Basically I'm using streamline because I wanted to save battery but i noticed something weird on 4g I'm only getting about 18 hours max with a galaxy nexus battery with wifi on I get around 30 hours. I thought wifi drained more battery. Also this is with about 3 hours of screen time. I've done several test. So firstly does wifi use less battery secondly what a the best kernal for gb right now?

Wifi always gets better battery. Just don't leave it on if you're not using it. I prefer darkside

4G is only used when it's needed. Wifi auto scans at intervals wasting battery if you leave it on all day. Wifi is better while in use.

I already answered you, pay attention
Wifi definitely improves battery life, if you turn your radio off that is or use wifi calling.

When I first installed this rom, my battery life was great. Now, I think something is wrong because the battery life has been running out faster than normal. For example, this is my battery just today:
I am using the freeza dual core fix and I just recalibrated my battery last night. Does anyone know what could be causing the poor battery life?
A rouge app. Or your settings.

try flash a different radio or try a different rom. you will see different battery result.
Mines is OK.... in 14 hrs I had left 45% left ..

I just flashed the new radio so I'll see if that helps. So far, I got 12 hours of battery with 3 hours screen time, which is still pretty bad

I'm a heavy user and I got this today with Darthstalker + Lean Kernel. Dying now at 4:30. Is this the best I can get with a stock battery? Using half brightness btw, streamed a soccer game, constantly texting, tweeting, Facebook, xda, listening to music, Internet browsing, etc. Thanks for any feedback I can get

About 4 hours is what I get too. I stream video with the screen on all day long. I also have 6 batteries and 2 external battery charger for that phone.
On my Note 2 with the same usage I get about 5+ hours.

Have you cycled the battery yet. Did 3 fill charges and drain to about 20%? I had the same problem and nlw my drain is good. Different rom and kernel though

The battery life is actually pretty good already. I use all my phone pretty much the same way (streaming videos). My previous phones never even made it to the 4 hour mark.
Htc evo 4g = 2.5 hrs
Motorola photon = 3.4 hrs
Galaxy S2 = 3.2 hrs
iPhone 4s = 3.? hrs
Htc evo Lte = 3.5 hrs

is that all on wifi or 4g? if wifi i think it can be a bit better. i can consistently get 4 hours of screen time, streaming and what not.

I can pull about 2 and 1/2 hours with 14 hours but that's with non - constant use. If I use the phone constantly it'll end up with what I posted about 6 hours with maybe half of that with the screen being on.

You can't compare to other people's usage like this because you stream videos. For example I told you earlier I get about 4 hours of runtime on my Galaxy s3 with a lot of video streaming. If I use my Galaxy s3 sporadically I get times like these.
Your runtimes are normal if you stream videos.

Okay I've been reading reviews on people getting 20 hours on battery with the same usage as I am, but my battery dies around 12-15 hours which I think is pretty good. Well I'll post up screenies to show you guys. Just checking if my battery life is normal before jumping ahead and buying a new battery.

May I ask how battery life is on AOSP roms, like cm?
So what's the overall way to increase battery without disabling the awesome features of this phone? I read in this thread to over charge for an hour or two, but in another thread it says not to over charge the battery... I'm confused

It all depends on how you use your phone. If you have a bunch of apps synching, terrible reception, and the screen on the brightest setting all the time you most likely won't get good battery life. I'm more than happy coming from the Nexus 4 though. That phone had horrendous battery life.

I could get a full days use with my nexus 4 and only use like 40% tasker can work wonders. I'm going to try to it on my s 4 when I let the battery settle from all my changing apps and flashing

I just set up my galaxy s 4 to do the same, I'll try it for a few days. I just use tasker to set it to turn off internet unless I have an app open which requires it.
You can set it to turn on internet and sync at intervals too.
I didnt really change anything. Shut off all features. Brightness like 25%. But I did underclock to 1.3ghz. Which stilll ran really smooth.

Just do what I do. I use an old car battery and I soldered leads into the back of the phone. Sure, my arms get tired and people stare at me in Wal-Mart... but I NEVER run out of battery. :laugh: :good:
