Hey community

I've been having weird battery with this phone when I turn off LTE I still get terrible drainage about the same as using 4g. Is it possible that I may have a bad battery?? I've wiped battery stats and tried different roms. When I got the phone I charged it fully before use like your supposed too

Any ideas??

Thanks guys and girls
 
What are your battery screens telling you? You can post screenshots here if you aren't sure.
 
what is "bad battery life" to you?
whats using your battery.

my suggestion is to try different kernals. i went from a bad ROM/kernal combo to a good ROM/kernal combo and it made a HUGE difference.
i was on axiom/aokp crossbreed 4.0.4 with Francos M1 kernel. i was at 30% after 6 hours with ONLY 3G (LTE off) just a few pics, few texts, no calls, no surfing.
threw on Francos M2 kernal and at 50% battery I had 7 hours on constant 4G, 15 minutes of calls, 20-30 texts, maybe 20 minutes total game playing, downloaded a ROM, watched a couple HD youtube movie trailers, and had 1 hour 15 minutes screen on time. needless to say, it was a HUGE difference.

my CPU awake time was killing me on the previous kernel combo. not sure what was doing it...but the new kernal seemed to fix it immediately.
