Return your Samsung Android S5 Battery back to normal!
First, delete any unused apps and what unneeded apps can’t be deleted should be shut down! Also recheck your remaining apps for current update to work with 5.0 and there usage settings.
Second, do a "System Wipe cache clear". This will improve your battery life cycle in a 2 to 3 days and at the same time remove certain 5.0 problems (not all). The good thing about the Wipe cache is that no needed files are deleted as in doing a factory data reset.
Third, install a very good app that will save you even more battery power. This app can be found at the Google Play Store, “Snapdragon BatteryGuru.” This battery program will require 4 to 7 day to fully learn your phone use habits so continue to use your phone in a normal manner. Also keep your Screen lighting at a maximum of 20 % and do not use Auto level mode. Turn off your Smart Net Switch setting but again continue to use your device as normal as possible.
Forth, When the first 2 to 3 day period has passed then do a battery rebuild charge program ( but only if needed) which will restore your battery to almost like new condition. After following and doing all of the above your phone’s battery life should be normal or perhaps even somewhat longer life cycles than before.
System Wipe cache clear
Power down your S5
Press/hold volume up and home keys, then also press/hold power key
When phone starts to vibrates, release power key
When the system recovery menu displays then release volume up/home keys
Use volume keys to navigate to the wipe cache partition and press power key to select
When you’re finished, press power key to reboot your phone system.
Battery Rebuild Charge Program
The S5 Li-ion battery needs to have a rebuild charge after the large 5.0 update in most cases. Do a full 6-8 hour charge with device in sleep mode, next run it down to about 45-50 % and then a 4-5 hour charge. After that use your S5 and take it down to 30%. Another 6-8 hour charge and then down to no lower than 20-25% and one fuller 8 hour charge. At that point your battery should be rebuilt back to a normal life cycle. The above information is posted only as a work-around-fix to help return that S5 back to a more useful condition.
Please feel free to post back on your results positive or negative.
Thank you,

Snapdragon BatteryGuru isn't compatible with my s5? Any other suggestions?
BatteryGuru will not always install in all S5 phones with the 5.0 update. Sorry for that but I have tested the rest of my posted package for 5.0 battery problem and have had very good results with much improve battery life.
Would you mind providing procedure to downgrade to Android 4.4.2 on Galaxy S4?
There is no way to revert to the previous version.
