Battery Drain - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

So lately I've been getting a horrible battery drain on my s4 no matter what ROM I use i still have this problem. My phone won't charge, sometimes if I do a reboot it'll work fine but it always comes back. Has anyone else been experiencing this?

I have insurance on it through best buy mobile, so if I return it to stock do you think they would swap it for a new one?

I'm gonna flash back to stock with the NAE .tar file and if problem still occurs then I'll go to best buy mobile and get it looked at and see if they will swap it out with new one. I really want the s4 with spark compatibility anyway lol.

@flashback7 I don't think that's it but it could be lol. I'm thinking its because I've been using wifi tethering alot lately and it drains my battery and makes my phone really hot. One time it got so hot that I got a message saying my battery was overheated and my phone shut off. I think that may be the cause of it.

That'll do it. I unplug mine before it overheats.

Gs4 haptic feedback turns off automatically

When the battery goes down to 15%, haptic feedback turns off by itself and I have to manually put it back on even after charging it again. This gets annoying after a while. What should I do? (i337)

Charge your phone before it gets to 15%.
Battery life is optimized when the charge is kept between 20-80%.

It's trying to save your battery. It's normal.

I know that... But I hate manually turning it on.... I'm asking how to stop it from turning off by itself.

S4 is getting VERY hot?!?

Im playing very often games on my S4. After 30-60 minutes (depending on game) my S4 is getting very hot.
Sometimes so hot i can't touch the screen anymore.
Do you have the same problems? Or is it just me

Same problems for everyone welcome to the gs4 world. Suggest you get a better case for your phone.

Ok i will look for another case.
Can it be dangerous for the device? Can it break because of this?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
If it gets 'too' hot in theory it should power off, so it shouldn't break the device.

Yup man...its disgusting da way it heats up after playing just 10 mins of rr3 or other high end games......

Quick window free case. .

As some of you noticed the lg g2 came with a free quick window case. Which I personally really really like. Just when the flap goes over the screen. It never stays on the screen... Its always raised. So its not stable and it can turn on the device by accident. Just wanted to know if anyone is having same issues or have a solution ( if you know what I am on about anyway)

same issue here
Mine didn't come with the case...

No free case here. But then again att likes to repackage their phones and take out all the extra goodies a phone would normally come with.

You have to break it in. It takes about a week or so.

After about a month, it's still a bit raised for me. I was hoping it'd be magnetized or weighted.
It's nice to see i'm not the only one with this problem, even though it is a pretty minor issue to me anyway, it is REALLY annoying :/
you would of though they would have put a magnet on it or something.
Yes it will work after you open and closer it about 100 times. I also layed a book on mine eventually it works as intended

Battery suddenly drops to 0%

Hi,
Since about a week ago my nexus suddenly started to die at about 30-40%, it depends. I don't really care about the fact that my battery is empty, but the fact that it happens on 30% and I don't receive a notification at 14% is really annoying. Is there a fix for this?
I'm running Aicp with stock Aicp kernel.
EDIT: Since I stopped charging my battery percentage hasn't changed for about half an hour.
Edit 2: I rebooted and now it's 41%.. Really strange
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It's getting worser now, it usually turns off when it's around 40% and around 50% I lose connection with mobile network and can't connect any more. I've tried different radio's but had no effect. I'd really like to know how to fix this. Or is the only solution to buy a new battery?

Take the back off the phone and see if your battery is bulging. This sounds like a battery issue. I had similar symptoms on my last phone. I took the battery out and spun it like a top.

Yeah I had it with my old galaxy Y too, my battery became so fat the battery cover didn't fit any more. But that happened slightly, this came out of nothing.

Haha, I was with friends and suddenly I noticed that I was able to spin my phone, and together with the fact that the battery was acting strange I thought it must have been swollen. And yesterday I saw a little lump.

Strange S4 behavior

My S4 is acting crazy lately. Seemingly randomly several download icons show up in my notification area. And it's old downloads that have been moved or deleted. Any idea what's going on? Thanks.
are you rooted with a custom recovery/rom
what's your build
what have you done to fix it
I'm rooted with stock and safestrap. It's 4.3 mk2. And since I have no idea what's going on I've done nothing to try to fix it.

Still looking for help with this one. It used to happen just once in a while but now it's like this almost all the time. Very annoying.

Thanks for the replies but my problem has gone away, per se. I ended up accidentally knocking the S4 off my desk at work and cracked the screen and screwed up the display. Now I have a S5 Active. Thanks again.
