Hi Guys,

I just got my I9505 2 weeks ago.

Anyone here experiencing battery drain of 1% every 2 - 3 minutes when using 3g/4g to surf facebook or websites?

I'm currently still running on stock ROM, no root or any nonsense yet. I've brought the phone to Samsung, and they told me it's completely normal; they've also replaced the battery for me saying that this should fix the problem.

I just want to know if any other I9505 users are facing this problem; I can see that in Malaysia, most people are using the I9500 Octa - So I can't have a proper benchmark.

I'm looking at screen on time of 1 - 3 hours max; could this be caused by a defective unit, or could this be caused by a poorly optimized firmware?

I've used a HTC One for a few days, and I do not see the same problems, battery seems to last longer on that device though they're both running on similar chipsets, minus the fact the One is clocked at 1.7Ghz

Thanks

Thanks for your comments; much appreciated.

Doesn't seem like a very nice way to reply a simple notion; I've had the S2, Note and S3.

I think it's best not to jump into conclusions before truly understanding what the query is; and note, there is a difference between a complain and a query. I am merely querying why this is happening, as technology should improve, not remain the same.

But thanks for your recommendation, it will be duly considered.

I can get SOT of about 2- 3 hours on wifi, but definitely not on 3G/4G.
