I recently got a Samsung Galaxy S5 5.0 software version (no updates).I downloaded Snapchat,Instagram,Whatsapp,Facebook,Skype,Twitter,and a couple sports team apps,etc. I.I turn off WiFi when I am not using it,no data,Bluetooth,I check running apps and monitor battery usage and stop them,brightness very low at all times.I am very battery conscious so I notice when each percent goes down.I have a cycle in which I check all social media apps or some at times and that's what I use on this phone on a daily basis,I rarely text and call.I have a charging cycle that is fairly random because I am in school and work part time.I normally charge phone from 2%-100% as told by the Virgin mobile phone provider guy.One time,the phone turned off for about 5 seconds because it had 0% battery so I charged it immediately up to 100%.After that,in my opinion,the battery has been going down faster than before.I use it for about 1-2 minutes only doing my social media checking cycle with only WiFi on and lose 1-2% easily.I try to limit phone usage,Right now,battery is at 37% and has been run for 1 day very rare usage though.I just checked running apps and battery usage and lost 1% and lost another just checking Twitter.I make a 1 minute phone call or text 1 person and lose a percent.I downloaded no games,have about 80 important photos and no videos.I have no live wallpaper and only downloaded apps and the S Health app to monitor steps taken.I charge it to 100% and lose 5% in 2-3 minutes now after 0% drain.I am not sure what to do like should I get a new battery,ask for a phone replacement citing battery issues????.It is getting frustrating because I use phone for about 2 minutes average after 10-20 minutes sometimes longer and lose 2%.About 1 hour ago,i didn't check phone for 2 hours and lost 2% just checking everything using it for like 5 minutes maximum.I am not sure if this is a problem that has happened to someone else also or it happened because of the battery going down to 0% and phone turning off????Opinions,suggestions,reason for why its happening will help????
