Battery drain or battery ruined? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone.
I've tried several roms even without recover data but my battery keeps last very low.
I suspect could be the battery itself.
Can someone please help me to understand what is causing this?
Thank you so much

Hi,
As far as I can see your main wakelock is " fast dormancy " try to disable it and see if it help , the other one MSM_hsic_host may be related to the fast dormancy.
Check this thread to disable fast dormancy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291100

I cannot found a way to disable fast dormancy because Kitkat s4 is not compatible with the app "fast dormancy toggle" and my career seems not to support dialer code *#9900#.
EDIT: currently I have slimsaberkat which is AOSP so it's impossible to disable fast dormancy.
But I seem to be the only one (reading from the relative thread) who has battery problem with that ROM.

Sorry i was in a hurry so i wasn't so spesific.I'm using pa 3.99 with a stock pa kernel. This battery drain started after i started to using an app called c4droid but i don't think that app related to this battery drain. Please help. I posted two screenshots too because these are looking better.

I was experiencing high battery drain from Android OS and for me, the culprit was Google Now keeping the device awake in the background.
Other users have said that disabling the 'wifi and mobile network location' option in location access under settings has fixed the issue too.
For me, I disabled Google Now, rebooted, and haven't had the high drain since. Hope this helps!
Install WakeLockDetector and look up which app or service keeps he phone awake and the CPU in use. Close that app and if it's a Google one like Calendar or Clock (yup, those drained my N4 before), try an alternative.

Frm the screen shot it seems you have background processes running(BBM n alarms). If you are always on 3g/wifi then the battery draining is normal. Or you can buy a new one for your satisfaction. Or charge it fully n dont use it just check for successive draining and if it drains within minutes then buy a new one.
Turn of features like google now and google location reporting. They consume hell lot of memory. Install greenify.

Try to check your battery if it is swollen...this is the big down of s4..
Or maybe a bad flash of your rom if u have

Instagram draining battery after 4.4.2 update

I've noticed that since the kit Kat update, my i9505 is having a huge battery draining caused by Instagram app. Even when the phone is on stand by, the battery stats shows that the App is draining almost 50% of battery. More than screen or Android Os together. Anyone knows how to fix this?
Thanks

Greenify the application. You may also try to go to application manager clear cache and data for this application. Restart the application. Simple rebooting may also help.

kk gsm reboots fast dormancy

I'm on GPE KK and am very happy that it works so well. I mainly tried it because of the bugs in the normal stock kk for the razr m.
I'm wondering if there are any solutions/if it's even possible for the gsm reboots problems? I tried freezing fast dormancy, but my battery life was terrible and the phone got very warm all the time. Do i need to switch to a custom rom instead of a stock based rom? are there no other options? might there be in the future? I thought i saw something about a new soak test for razr m, but haven't found anything again.
sorry to be a bother.
I don't personal know if this works or helps as I'm a vzw user but from the other threads on here about fast dormancy n what not seems to point here post 681 or so

Thanks, i thought maybe freezing fast dormancy would be similar to editing the build.prop? I'm still a bit unsure of what I'm actually supposed to edit n order to fix the gsm issues.

[APP][2.2+] Wakelock Detector will help to spot apps that are draining battery.
Use [APP][4.0+] Greenify to make apps sleep.
