Hi guys,

I revived my wife Galaxy S4 (GT-I9500 on 3G only no 4G), found out the battery drained too fast.
Configured to lowest brightness and reset the phone with basic aps in it.

I thought it caused by the battery, then I bought a new set of battery from Samsung KLCC RM100+.

PS: On Android version 5.0.1

Unfortunately, same result but better than previous old battery.

I have been using the S4 I9505 for nearly 3 years. The battery drains quickest if connected to mobile data. Significantly less battery drain if connected to WiFi.

Nowadays a full charge in the morning will last me until evening based on my usage pattern. I use third-party replacement batteries. Pisen, Nohon and Deji but now unable to get Deji. Pisen can get from Lelong, Nohon from AliExpress. I swap out the depleted battery in the evening and charge it using a separate battery charger. I normally carry a spare battery with me when I go out. Smaller and lighter compared to a power bank (So far I have not used a power bank).

The I9505 has a bit better battery life compared to the I9500. When I had the S5, the battery help up for at least one day usage for me.

Bro I wanna ask, how much is the capacity of those third party battery?

Been wanting to get sun global 3150maph battery but doubting whether it is as advertised.

I heard third party batteries have shorter charge cycle compared to original battery. Is it true?
*
Those third party batteries usually are not what they claim to be.. rolleyes.gif Usually their quality are not where near the originals. Only trust the originals.

I only revived my wife S4 after bought her S6 Edge.
I used to admire S4 when it's first launch in market but the price hahahahahahha, I went for Nokia 1320.

Maybe I can try revert back this phone to it's first Android version instead of using Lollipop? But how about other application like WhatsApp and others if I revert this phone to previous Android version?

Anyone mind to share?
*
A lot of people are still on kitkat on the S4. Hope that answers your question.

apparently its a common manufacturing design flaw
all samsung will have a highchance of power button get stuck
it to smack it at the right angle till it come out
but has a grace period of backup everything before send to repair

Reset the phone means all my data will be deleted?

I don't think samsung center cam help me as my s4 is an Australian unit.

Then send to outside third party repairers. Self repairs wont be possible.
