Battery Issues - Need Help

[li33gwm]

Just switched from the HTC One to Galaxy 5 yesterday. Upon setting it up, loved it; screen looks great, easy to type on keyboard, etc.

It seems that the battery drains really quick - real quick! With the first HTC One (M7), had no problems with battery at all. I tried restarting the device twice, but still having battery issues. For example the phone was fully charged before I went to bed and then when I woke up 6 hours later it was already down to 67% with it being not used. What could be going on? Not an expert user with settings so any help would be appreciated before I decide I'm going to go back and just get the new HTC One. Thanks!

Post battery stats and hopefully we can help you out. You can find those under Settings - Battery.

Here's what is says for Battery Settings:

59% - Not Charging
9h 49m on battery

Android System - 21%
HD Widgets - 16%
Google Search 13%
Android OS - 11%
Cell Standby - 7%
Android Core Apps - 5%
WiFi - 5%
Device Idle - 5%
Google Play Services - 4%

Would've taken a picture but don't know how to take a screen shot yet. Look forward to some help - thanks!

I posted in the S5 Battery Gripe thread, but I had to change mine last night from "Global" to LTE/CDMA. I know with past phones, leaving it on Global will help to drain the battery a bit. I'm wondering if that's not the issue...
