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

Well I guess cm7 fixed the issue because everything is good now.

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.

I looked at better battery stats app and there are no rogue apps running. My settings are good too. I'm so confused.

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

My friend says he's only getting a mac if 4 hours battery
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
you should probably just let your friend do research and find his own custom rom. So much can go wrong when modding a 3rd partys phone when the person flashing doesnt even know what they are looking for. My advice, just leave it stock. To get better battery life you have to make the phone do less.
Ive been there, with that phone call at 2am "how do I fix my phone, its acting weird?"

Try the people's rom. It's awesome. Slight themeing, But overall amazing performance.
Of course it will be superior Lol. I came from the epic touch and on that phone I could get 12 hrs max with 2.5 screen time. On the GS3 I get 17hrs easily with 4.5 hrs screen time

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.

Oh okay. Thats good to know. I play music about the same amount.

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

I'd like to know all of your settings, I wish my battery life was that good!

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

Interesting... I use my phone A LOT though and the S4 has impressed me since day one. My nexus dies in a little over a day with no use at all.

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.

My brother and I have the same phones, the s4 and his battery is better. I don't understand why! We have the same exact settings, but his is black and mine is white

Ive notice that some apps like google maps kills battery too. Even if youre not running it. So check if your running applications.

The battery, somewhat, got better!
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:
