i tend to stay out of these threads now that i've had my phone for a couple of months. but i learned something new over the past week that i thought i should share. first, let me say i mostly find these battery life threads a bit ludicrous since we all have different phones with different apps, different settings and different usage. but anyway here goes...
last week i was driving around, turned on my GPS (which i had read should be left off until needed to preserve battery), and accidentally left it on all day. my battery life improved. so i now leave it on all day every day.
also, i noticed my screen was a little bright so i set it to auto (i never use auto brightness adjust, but i have read many suggestions that using it will extend battery life). my battery life suffered. so i went back to manual setting and simply lowered it a few per cent.
that's it. my suggestions to anyone looking for better battery life are to leave your GPS on and manually set you screen brightness. simple.
oh here was today's performance...
PS i also use no energy management apps.
