[Q] Galaxy S4 drains battery during call - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505. For a couple of days ago I installed CM11 on the phone and then experienced that the mobile signal had some trouble keeping it stable. Many calls made the phone-app crash and so on, the battery also drained really really fast during the calls, I think the battery goes from 100% to 0% in an hour, it also got burning hot at the top speaker-area.
Since I had all those problems I decided to try the new unofficial CM12, the phone-app didn't crash anymore, but the phone still drained battery as fast and was still as hot as with CM11. After trying to take out the memory-card, make a hard-reset and all possible things, I gave up.
I then installed the original firmware again, and by that unroot the phone, but the problem now exists in the original firmware as well!! Does anyone know what could have happen?
Hope that you guys here can help me!
There is a picture of a short call of 8 minutes that I made attached below.
Thanks!

High Ram Usage Issue

Hello
Yes yes i know i'm a noob, and i'm hated.. and i hate myself :/ lol but right now I need help! I've searched EVERYWHERE and was unable to find the solution soo...
I got my Samsung Galasy S II GT-I900G about a month ago, I've been turning it off every night so that It can charge. Like a week ago for some reason I didnt and in the middle of the next day the RAM got to about 560MB/0.91GB and then after a while it got stuck while i was sending an SMS. I had to take the battery out and and turn it on for it to start working again. I'm not that much of a hardcore gamer or phone user. I dont know why my phone would do this. I have deleted all my apps and still the same problem so its definetly not a leaky app. It gets stuck and then i have to take the battery out !
My phone has 2.3.4 android version
If you need any other information, let me know and i'll post it... But PLEASE help me.
I'm desperate here

Which ROM and Kernel are you using?
Android is like Linux, so low ram=wasted resources. High ram is natural. Likely it is your rom or kernel that is to blame. You could also do a factory reset to see if it fixes it. Also, if you hold the power button for 10 seconds, it is the same as a battery pull, so you don't need to take the back (or case if you have one) off.

[Q] Galaxy S II doesnt shut down (gets stuck while shutting down,not rebooting)

Hi everyone,
first of all I did search forum, but havent find answer nor related thread, if I have missed it please sorry about it.
Got my SGS2 about 6-7 months ago. No issues, everything perfect. Got updated to 2.3.4 with KIES (not really fan of experimenting with phone that have price of above average monthly salary in Serbia).
Rooted device with ZergRush exploit since I wanted as close to mint backup in case I have to send it to service(dont ask, service here is pain in the butt), purchased Mobile Odin Pro (cheers to that Chainfire) and flashed Hellcat's kernel for 2.3.4 from Mobile Odin.
Everything was cool, CWM, made EFS backup with his tool too, and so on...
However, about 2 moths ago, I started experiencing random restarts of the phone. Did search, found out that it happens and actually dealt with it.
Now, recently, i switched off my phone in the evening (was on 20% and didnt wanted to leave it on charger, and didnt want it to die on me during night), and in the morning I havent been able to turn it on. Freaked out badly, only to realize that its battery was empty. Which was odd because I DID turned it off.
About few days ago, i switched the phone, and it went to full shut down, however managed to get stucked somewhere in process (LED's are on, did vibrate i think) but never shuts down itself.
After some time, when I picked it up since I saw LED's on, i realized that its very hot and that I cant switch it back on (presumably because it never got shuts down) and had to remove battery so that I can switch it back on. When I did, i found out that battery was about 15% drained in that 10 mins, and I dont know what he was computing while shutting down, but it burned the sh*t out of itself.
Tonight it did that again so I decided to ask first before I do factory reset/wipe everything (maybe update to ICS too).
So, any idea, suggestion what to do is more than appreciated.
Cheers
Polite bump?
What is the actual problem .

Well assuming you have read original post, why the hell that happen, does it happen to anyone else, and how to avoid it?
this may help

Well, as I said, its not bootloop.
As I said, I shut down the phone, it starts shutting down, turn on leds, vibrate and stays turned on. After that battery drains quickly, and phone gets very hot.
When I get battery out, and back in it boots up without problems.
And I dont have any cooked rom, just Hellcats kernel for 2.3.4 stock rom.
you problem
Hi there,
Here's the best way to resolve this issue you have to re-flash a fresh new rom, meaning a full installation of the android os and here is how to do it,
First search google and download ODIN to ur computer or Pc.
Next search again google and type the following ( Sammobile.com ) and register and after that type the model number of your phone for example (i9100) in the site search bar and download rom that u need and thats it this should solve ur problem
Note : be sure to have 100% battery charged before doing the above and after installing ur new rom do a full wipe and enjoy,
I hope this was helpful,
Regards,
iMatrix
Yeah, thats probably that I will end up doing, luckily i have bought Titanium Backup so that I can backup all apps that I have and restore them after wiping everything.
I was wondering that somebody have any idea what might be going on.
Thanks for suggestions everyone.
before that try wiping cache and dalvik cache

This seems to happen quite a bit on gb roms.. definetely time to upgrade to ICS
Actually from what I have read about ICS 4.03, Im actually glad I didnt.
Releasing it in that state(e.g. battery issues again, 3rd party sms programs sends sms twice...) is bad for both G and Samsung imho...

Battery drain issue on S3 rooted

Hi All,
first topic in xda as i am really hope someone can help me on this. I am still new to root process as previously was on iphone.
got my S3 2 days ago and i am pretty satisfied with the stock battery performance. i need to root my s3 due to i have to run vpnc for access company vpn.
i follow this guide xxx.theandroidsoul.com/galaxy-s3-root[/url] for rooting my s3 and i have perform Part 1 as per the guide and then i go to part 2 and only realize "sgs3-root-install.zip" file no longer exist. i have to stop doing part 2 step 2 as i cant proceed without the install zip file.
then i come across this xxx.theandroidsoul.com/cf-root-6-0-its-the-new-samsung-galaxy-s3-root-package-includes-cwm-5-5-supersu-and-cwm-manager-app/ and i start rooting my s3 with step 2 again which loaded 'CF-Root-SGS3-v6.0.zip' with odin to my s3 again.
could it be due to i have double loaded twice of the tar file to my s3 and it cause the battery drain on it? i fully charge the phone to 100% and i didnt even on mobile data and wifi...turn the phone to standby and after 3-4 mins my battery went down from 100% to 99%...how can i rectify this issue?
Thank you for reading my long article and sorry for the bad english ..
100% doesn't always mean 100%. Sometimes the internal battery readings are a little bit off. Unless the battery keeps going down as fast as before, there is no reason to worry.

[Q] Problem with S3 (i9300)

Hi, I have an S3 (i9300) with CM11 always in his last nightly. I have a problem because the mobile download quickly and loading slowly. The Phone I've switched to other ROMs, kernel, I changed the charger, battery, so I formatted, even with few apps I still have the same problem.
Since 5 months ago I have this problem, turn off the mobile live it on "Airplane mode" and then leave even more than 6 hours to fully charge it.
I'm a user "heavy" since I am constantly using it in Whatsapp, mail, other social networks, etc ... But it does come five months presenting this issue and I want my phone before.
I've noticed that sometimes in certain-outlets (do not know how they call it in Spain but just Google it appears) sometimes faster loading than others but in other circumstances load equal than others, perhaps because it is a little paranoid but already has me tired this problem.
Maybe everyone say you buy a new phone but not if they have fixed the problems that exist in Venezuela and buy a new one is almost impossible.
I hope some help from you. Thanks in advance.
