Samsung Galaxy S4 battery drains quickly

[RichPlummerPowell]

Hi,

I've noticed recently that the battery in my Samsung Galaxy S4 drains rapidly while I'm not using the device. It was fully charged one night so I unplugged it, slept for several hours and woke to see a battery warning displayed.

I have tried terminating all apps and restarting the device to ensure that the problem isn't related to a bad app. Today, for example, the battery was down to about 36% charge two hours after disconnecting the charger, and with little use. The Battery status page shows the following apps:

Android OS 45%

Android System 12%

Google Play services 11%

Cell standby 9%

Screen 6%

BBC Weather 4%

Facebook 3%

Wi-Fi 2%

I understand that this model has had some battery problems and that it might be possible to obtain a replacement battery. Please would you advise?

Hello,

Latest update is that Samsung repaired and sent back my device in 2 days.They said that there was problem with screen, and some circuit. It is performing better now though I still kept it in observation.

My question here is why VODAFONE REPAIR failed to trace and fix the exact problem even when I sent the device for repair 3 times.Please try to find out the gaps in your knowledge.

Also, regarding replacement policy its better VODAFONE have a clear policy rather than changing escaping as per their needs.
