Terrible Battery life of gt-i9295 - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have SGS4 Active int'l. I'm using stock 4.4.2 rom. Even if I bought Greenify, I have a terrible battery life. What should I do to improve it? I tried battery calibration app but I'm not quite sure I did it right. Is there any other options?

What apps are you running? Reason for me asking, I run a few apps that use the wakelock permission, this causes the phone to never enter a state sleeping when the screen is off, thus draining the battery.
Things like livewallpapers will also create a battery drain. Just disabling my livewallpaper gave me about another hour of run time.

First of all: identify your battery eaters! Try something like better battery stats http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 or similar. Wakelocks, apps running amok or something else could be part of your problem. Or it could be wrong expectations? You didn't state your battery stats... A screenshot of battery usage would be the first step

Despite being on awake you have 10+ hours of battery and seems like that awake didnt really drain your battery. However do install Better Battery Stats, free app from xda forum and see what is that rouge app keeping your phone awake.

I had a very similar issue on my phone. In the end I had to do a factory reset. My phone went from lasting maybe 4-5 hours to over a day now. Good luck
please post back with app you think is causing this!
No one can tell you which app is causing a drain. Use the link I posted above to look into what is causing it, bit of self help?
It may be your sync settings and waking the phone up in the background like email, fb, twitter, eBay, news apps.
Better battery stats will show you

[Q] - How to determine what's draining my battery?

Hi guys
I've been monitoring my battery for a few days now, and I've seen that my battery drains a lot when it's inactive.
According to these pictures, 43% of my battery came from not using it (under 20 hours).
How can I determine what's draining my battery, because I'm not very skilled in pointing out the process that's draining the battery.
I've included some pics to help you guys (Dutch, sorry, but I hope the icons will help you).

You should install BeterBatteryStats from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
And the let it monitor for a while. Look under partial wakelocks and kernel wakelocks what is draining your battery.
I bet it's face book app. I had same perineum with my note 2. Just uninstall it and I'm fine now
Allright, I'll check that out.
Give me a few days and you'll hear back from me
Install BetterBatteryStats, launch it so it can set it's reference, then start with a full charge.
HTH.
In addition, GSAM Battery Monitor also gives a few hints, using the built in "app sucker"

I've been using the BetterBatteryStats app for a few days now.
Apparently the "msm_hsic_host" and "PowerManagerService" are causing the most wake locks.
After some googling I couldn't find an answer to fix those issues.
The search also revealed that the wake locks are caused by the Snapdragon.
Any suggestions to fix this and extend the battery life?
Thanks!

Is my battery life doing okay? I mean. It lasts for a day but sometimes it doesn't. Tell me if it's doing okay.
There's nothing wrong with ZR battery...it's how it's used individually & will vary from user to user. I recently added https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.avast.android.batterysaver to my apps & will keep any misbehaving apps from overusing battery plus you may even get an improvement on longevity between charges. I usually get a few hours short of a day and half now.

Here's one question!
How does the app save your battery?

Battery stats not showing in full?

So my settings app doesnt tell me what drains my battery in full. Neither does any other battery app like gsam.

As you can see my phone is at 93% but my data report in here shows only 1% missing per app there. It doesnt add up to a 7% loss. I havent restarted my phone since charge so my stats haven't reset. Any ideas? I feel like im getting worse battery life than before.

Since these are round to full percentages, it's most probably rounding error.
They never add up... For example I now have 55℅ battery left but the report adds up to only 27℅. I have yet to find a clear explanation about what these percentages actually represent.
