Better battery life with 4.4.3?

[giwrgos]

Hello everyone, I have installed yesterday the 4.4.3 version on my phone and I found out that it has better battery life. I'm using greenify which I was also used back on the 4.4.2 but still i believe the battery is still better. Does anyone else found out that there is a slight improvement on the battery life?

one full day use cant tell you how battery life is. battery life can change every cycle, its all about your use for that day and the quality of signal. after 4 days to a week you will have an idea about battery life.

I know but based what i have done today (and i'm doing every day) it should be half of the battery and not 70%.

about the same as 4.4.2.... CM11 is still better choice if you are concern about battery life, probably due to the complete Google Play Services package.

I love the stock rom and i don't have any problem there are plenty solutions about the battery life. but anyone found out that there is slightly better battery life let me know.

I have noticed the same thing, was using franco kernel before and decided to try the 4.4.3 stock kernel for a while, battery life is definitely better than 4.4.2 stock kernel!

I'm on stock 4.4.3 with Franco R53 and I am definitely getting better battery life. Probably mainly due to Franco though!

I mentioned this in the 4.4.3 thread. It is quite possible that the update brought better battery life. However, people in this thread (and OP) should specify if they wiped their phone and flashed factory img. If that's the case the clean install might be the result of the battery, and not the update itself.

I did a full wipe and I am on day two and noticing better battery life.

i disagree. cm has nothing good for battery. battery life is determined by your personal use, your personal setup, your apps installed, and the quality of the data/phone signal. kernels and roms do very little for battery.

MUCH better battery life here.. (4g) , before with 4.4.2 i had around 1-2 bars 4g reception (which is bad). the signal killed the battery i think, but now with the new modem i have 3-4 bars 4g reception. the battery life has been improved from 8-9 hours with my usage to 12+hours (same usage). i am really happy now (stock rom + stock kernel)

I have definately had better battery life so far. I flashed the factory image and then uber kernel. It seems to be about 30% better. The drain on the battery WHILE USING the phone isn't as bad as it used to be.

There seem to be fewer NLP wake locks than before for me. So I'm getting better battery life. Although I don't think Play Service was updated...

I did a dirty flash/update yesterday and today I've noticed better battery life all day long.

I think better battery and very good performance too.

As I have said in my previous post, "due to the complete Google Play Services package."

I used the same settings regardless of roms, be it Stock or CM/others. I am comparing "Stock as in no root, no alterations.", it does perform poorly in terms of battery life (even when you disable most of the Google apps), when compared to CM or other AOSP roms with Gapps.

I am comparing it under same settings and usage.
And that's what I get.

"cm has nothing good for battery" .... please, you may dislike cyanogenmod all you like for whatever reason, but in the end, it all comes down to what to you are comparing it to. and ease of use.

Cyanogenmod is the best option for someone who is not a tech geek and yet wants the customization features and with a stable updater to stay up to date.

I also observed slightly better battery life. Dirty upgrade.

Hi guys. I'm really considering buying a new phone. I already have a Nexus 7 (Wi-Fi) and I have fallen in love with Nexus 5, but I heard everyone saying that its battery life is bad. I see that many of you are owners of Nexus 5. Can you help me with my decision? I use my phone for browsing (3G mostly), music, calls and messages. Will Nexus's battery last more than a full day?
