How do you stream YouTube if you're on edge? Won't that take like 30 minutes to buffer a 5 min video?
It's more about screen on time than anything. 4-5 hours is pretty normal. Your last 8 hours at the end was when the phone was idle. That's easy with any phone.Thought I would contribute to this thread. Here is my latest battery usage...

This was from full charge down to 1%, using a combination of calls, texting, web-browsing for a couple of hours (using both Wi-Fi & HSPA+), 15 min HD vid on Youtube, Tapatalk browsing and more.
Wasn't expecting massive battery life with this device, but I'm more than happy wth it considering what some reviews have stated. I'm never far away from a charge point anyway, so not a big issue for me
Just installed juice defender ultimate and turned off the map setting. Hopefully I see an increase

It does little regardless.Juice defender helps with power usage during idle; it will not do anything to help power usage when using the phone.

Actually the only thing it helps is killing signals which often can have mixed results.
Firstly the app itself has to stay active often keeping the phone from Deep sleep mode. This causes what we call a wake lock.
Second if you have poorly written apps that poll regularly that app may have issues and cause worse drain. This often isn't an issue but it has happened.
Those apps really are nothing more than a placebo if you take the time to turn data or WiFi on and off with built in toggles (aosp based ROMs, and touchwiz I can confirm have them.) You would achieve similar if not better results.

mine only used around 5% in 8 hours.I took my phone off the charger at 4 am when I woke up, went back to sleep, never touched the phone and when I woke back up at 9am i was at 80% with ZERO screen usage. I'm thinking about getting a replacement

I think that is pretty normal. In reality it's just about making it through a full day with a charge at night. Most of us are getting 3-5 hours of screen time but there are so many variables that can change this. But your numbers look good. IMO.My battery has died, and after 26 hours I've had 3 hours of screen time.
I've optimized the wakelocks so the idle battery drain is as good as I can get without sacrificing Google Now etc (around 0.5-0.7% per hour)
My screen brightness is on automatic, Franco r28 kernel, stock rom, GPS off, Wi-Fi mostly on, no video games/movies played, Google Now on.
Is this normal? People have posted great battery life of 4 hours plus with similar set-ups it seems
