For those of you complaining about battery life:

[BHalbrooks]

You're doing it wrong. I've had the phone 2 days.

Was with heavy web browsing, heavy texting, and GPS for 25ish minutes.

You're obviously not using the phone for much anything.

I think you would be better suited for a flip phone.

Well, I can get up to 5 hrs of screen time, and that's amazing for such a screen. Many people give for granted that it should last more than a day, but do not consider the how much the screen consumes.

Correction: you're doing it wrong.

I can get that out of my LTE GNex easily (a notorious battery hog)...which isn't saying anything, because I've not told you anything. e.g. w/o screen times and brightness settings and wi-fi vs. cellular radio usage reports alongside such screenshots, my-battery-life-is-better-than-your-battery-life posts are almost worthless.

The screenshot doesn't shows any activities, you have just kept your phone in drawer for 2 days.

from that screenshot i can tell you had charged ure phone as well if u look closely the green line goes up a bit in the middle(between the B and A) also how about a screenshot after clicking on the 1d3hrs portion.

edit:-

here one of my screenshots

Perhaps your word selection in the opening post brought the defensiveness out. Telling a lot of folks that they are doing it wrong without describing how to do it "right" is not an especially useful and friendly post... You might recover some cred by expounding on your opening salvo with some more complete data and guidance.

Wow, do I really need to imply that I was kidding?
Getting that time out of a charge isn't even that impressive, so I didn't think I needed to put "lol" and smiley faces all over.

When I was using it as GPS I plugged it in, realized I had forgotten, and unplugged it. Wasn't charging long enough to make a difference.

Guys,

Here's a serious post instead of snapping at each other.

Yesterday I had had it with my phone then a friend recommended juice defender ultimate from the play store...OMFG I came home from work today without having to charge my phone and still with 30% after a Heavey day...it is either free or

I was wondering if this phone would need JuiceDefender. I used Ultimate on my EVO 4G, so I've just put it on the Galaxy. I can see a difference already.

Yes. Quite a few folks are getting about half of what you posted, so backpedaling like your first post was supposed to be a joke is kind of lame.

Enough of that. I'd be interested to hear how your battery life is over the next few weeks (with associated data, of course).

Back peddling? Yea ok...
With what I said, I'd describe it I guess as sarcasm. Definitely not serious, especially since a lot of guys go days. Of course I'd back pedal to save annoying someone on a forum.

Guys let's please keep this thread civil on on topic.
