You have a lot going on there but it shouldn't run down the battery that that quick, what was the screen on time? and how old is the battery?

I agree

That's exactly how mines is.. Had my phone for, 7 months and get that type of battery life.. I screwed up my battery though before my knowledgeable days on XDA.. Gonna just buy a new one off Amazon.. Great deals on there
No doesn't seem normal. Do you leave you phone on the charger for long periods? Maybe a bad battery cell.

Hello all I started this so we all can get a idea on what the mv s should be after a full charge. If your like me and swap batteries back and forth this might be good info. So please put what type of battery you are using and let us know what your mv is when charge is complete and when its dead. You can use any battery calibration tool to show results. Screenshots are fine aswell. Thanks to all that participated.

In regards to swapping, there's nothing better than an old fashioned wife swap but this will do too.

I would imagine that like all other lipo cells they register 4.2v charged and 3.2v discharged. Really don't want to exceed those numbers

Not sure if this a ROM, kernel, or hardware problem but lately my phone has started to discharge if I'm using it on the charger. It'll charge normally but when I start using it, it gets hot and I lose battery. I'm running the latest stable vanilla rootbox with ktoonz kernel.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
That sounds normal to me. If you're using more than you draw, you'll lose instead of gain and the battery will heat up even more.

It's just math and physics.
If you are gaining, say 1A per hour and using it at a higher rate you will necessarily lose charge instead of gaining it.
Anyone's phone will do the same, that's just how batteries work. They heat up if you're putting them through a lot of stress - like continuously putting energy into it while taking it away at the same or higher rate.
If you want to continuously use the phone, buy a set of spare batteries and rotate them in and out.

Might be your usb cable/voltage output/ whatever u use to charge ur phone. Not enough power to charge it fast enough when you are using it.

+1 on this. Try killing background processes and wait for battery to keep up with usage. Sometimes battery can't keep up with active processes..

I had the same issue. Tried a different charger and different rom. On liquid smooth 2.1 right now. Not having that issue anymore.

I'll give that ROM a try, i wasn't experiencing it with the stable release of rootbox before the current one. What kernel are you using?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
i had the same issue and I just switched cables, seemed like mine had some loose wiring or something and charged hella slow. so maybe check your cable first, switch chargers and then look and see if that helps

I'd try another cable too. On stock rom I had no discharge while charging issues so there is no reason you shouldnt be able to charge normally again.
Also check the usb port on the phone. If it's dusty try blowing into it. Check that it isn't loose also.

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.

But I'm installing a kernel in a few to see if that helps!

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:
Fully charged 12 minutes ago. Rebooted phone and battery went even lower. Why is it doing this? It started doing this and progressively got worse when I recently installed AOKP again but didn't do this before. Should I re-install? Would that help? I've had random bugs before from aokp. But not sure if this is part of it.

It's a problem with your UI. It gets confused and the battery percentage goes off. Calibrating it has been proven a myth.
