What's your screen on time on your S5 in 2017 ?

[Benjamin2557]

Hello,

I am wondering if I am the only one to get between 3 and 4 hours of screen on time for one charge ? I'm using my original battery of 2800 mA (almost 4 years old now).
How much are you getting guys ?

I have nemesis reborn v4 ROM with phoenix kernel v13 but I got a similar battery life with the stock MM ROM.

Today I have for example 3 hours and 40 minutes of SOT.

Mostly about 4h 30min to 5h SOT in daily use. My record is 6h 30min (xXx NoLimits Rom + Boeffla Kernel).

What kind of usage did you have with the phone to get such a screen of time (I mean 6 and a half) ?
I believe if I get less than 4 hours is that my battery is too old...

I was surfing on internet and using messenger on wifi.

I'm running Xtreme Dynamic Kat (4.4.2) with every battery improvement I can think of (Xposed Amplify etc). Light social media use with some email, chrome, and less than an hour of Spotify, and I get at best 4 hours SoT. It usually would project out to about 3:15 hrs. on most days I would guess.

My "android system" and "screen" usage typically have about the same percentage at the end of the day. I try to keep my screen dimmed and use as many dark themes as possible. It blows my mind these people who say they can get 5 hours or more. I can't imagine what that's like or how to get there. Makes me want to get a new phone

Here is what I get with nemesis reborn v4 with phoenix kernel (the battery life looks the same on stock MM ROM).
I'm trying also to understand how some people are getting more than 6 hours ! I have greenify + amplify + xposed 87.1 flashed on my ROM.

And without all these kind of stuff, I have less than 4 hours anyway...
Maybe some ROMS like lineage or cyanogenmod helps.
For the health of the battery, some applications like ampere meter or Ampère says that my battery health is good.

You seem to have the same battery life as me but I'm running marshmallow 6.0.1 with nemesis reborn v4. My android system use to consume 8% of my battery per a charge and my screen 26%.
I can only say that your android system doesn't seem very normal. For this problem, try to boot into recovery mode and swipe cache and make a factory reset. I saw that this method helped some people.

I had the same feeling when my S2 was barely hitting 2 hours when other people had like 3 or even 4 hours
I found screenshot from my S5:

Unfortunately i don't have screenshot of my best time

It's impressive ! I get 3 1/2 - 4 hours instead of 6 hours of SOT. Did you use stock rom 6.0.1 and stock kernel 3.4.0 ?

As I mentioned above. I use xXx NoLimits Rom (which is basically stock 6.0.1 deoxydated with small tweaks) + Boeffla Kernel. I have Xposed installed, but I don't use Greenify, Amplify or PowerNap.

Ok I'll try it to see how much I can get with mine.

I assume you are running a non-AT&T S5 @suraj222? I would love to try your ROM, but I think locked bootloaders pretty much have me stuck. Very impressed by your 6 hours!

I forgot to mention - I have Galaxy S5 G900F

my highest SOT of 3 years old G900H.... 6 hours ++ maybe could up to 8

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. I want to get a new battery right now xD

Which ROM?

 

[lahire149]

Just thought I'd provide an update. Still running Xtreme Dynamic Kat 4.4.2 on my G900A. Replaced the battery with a OEM style 2800mAh one from Anker and it has given me about 50-80% more screen on time and overall battery life. It seriously has made a difference compared to my original 2.5 year old OEM battery. I still get high Android System usage, however I believe that is directly correlated to my use patterns (lots of Spotify streaming and Hulu casting with the screen off). If I stick to web based activities I can get 6 hours of screen on time now. Incredible!

Hi, thanks for your answer. If your android system consume more than your screen, I suggest you to do a wipe cache and remove your Dalvik cache with a custom recovery.

Hey fellow S5ers I don't really take notes of how many hours of SOT I get per day but I'm sure that I can get double that or even more if I turn off 4G and WiFi. Not to mention that my battery is already 1+ years old so if i change it I'd get a lot more. Try to live without any kind of Internet for one day and you'll see insane numbers Just having the Internet switched on without even using it drains too much battery but i can't live offline xd
