Does anyone have terrible batterylife on 4.4.4?
Click to expand...


just to clarify something because it irks me when people treat android like iOS:

My samsung device (pick one, S4, N3, S5) has dozens if not more different versions of 4.4.2, and some devices have several firmwares of 4.4.4 (some TW, some GE, even CM if i was to AOSP). new versions are released to different regions almost weekly by samsung, and at times daily with the custom stuff.

global questions about specific android versions battery life is a very misleading question, because you and i in different countries with the same device would have different ROM's and preinstalled apps, making any battery life comparisons completely irrelevant - and if we have different devices or use custom ROM's it becomes quite ridonculous, as the differences would be immeasurable.

I was asking very vaguely because me and 2 other friends all have terrible batterylife while on 4.4.4, while on different roms, and all of us on different devices (S3, N5, HTC1). Having an almost stock system (except for chrome, and twitter) doesnt improve the batterylife at all, which made me wonder if it was simply a problem with that update
 
My OnePlus One on CM whatever version 4.4.4 has great battery life overall. I use only about 25-35% life on an average day of use. The last patch made the biggest difference to that though.

The biggest difference in a positive or negative way?
 
it always comes down to screen on time, and background apps/services. use an app like wakelock detector and find out whats eating your battery.
 
and check your battery too, could be it starts to wear out

Just curious - I wonder what browsers people use on their devices.

I mainly use dolphin, but its had some issues with this forum when I have Jetpack turned on. for everything else it seems to work ok though. Im thinking about going back to opera
 
Chrome. Works great...I like that it syncs with my other Chrome sessions. Works fast and smooth for me on CM11 at least.
 
Yep, Chrome here too. Came on my G2.
 
chrome. the way it syncs up with desktop and laptop is awesome.
 
I guess time for me to join with my Galaxy Ace. :laugh:

i run uc browser and opera, before i ran baidu browser but i switch to uc
i dont like chrome, its good but eating much space
 
More strangeness. It opens the wrong apps. It can't register on the networks until reboot. The screen is cracked. I ordered a cheap replacement, will see if I can repair it meself, if I can't... screw it, time for a new phone. I really can't afford it though. I mean really, really really cannot afford it. Blergh. :(
 
I use the default Internet browser in my S3 LOL. I can't seem to find that "save page for offline use" in Chrome....probably because it doesn't exist. LOL

weird? yes
the last setting suddenly trapped on background as background
first i think its from apex launcher bug but after i use smart launcher sometimes it still happen
i run LG G2 mini kitkat stock
 
ripped right from my facebook, after i noticed an S5 i was testing with a spare SIM card had terrible battery life.


Ahhh... long standing mystery solved.

Looks like android devices get confused if they have a working data signal (3G/4G) but no internet... you know, from a prepaid device that ran out of data.

Explains why some people i know hated android for crap battery life, prepaid = bad for smartphones (turn off data manually or disable sync to fix)
 
loli lol
 
Lolipop?

 
so i went to my retailer for a 970 but since no stock i decided to wait next month, well ...

Firefox with Adblock Plus runs smoothly on my Alcatel One Touch S'Pop; and honestly it is a bit more easy in terms of clearing history, adding add-ons etc. than Chrome (or that may be because of me). Note: my phone is not that fast so it sometimes matters that it is a streamlined app.

@AlienIsGOD: your post is a little confusing.
