This is by no means a big issue, but I wish the metering of the battery were more consistent. I was wondering if anyone had any insight. My phone was on standby for the entire period. Below is a timeline along with screenshots.

8:16 am 4 hours 41 minutes 0% drain
8:47 am 31 minutes 0% drain
9:48 am 1 hour 1 minute 0% drain
11:36 am 48 minutes 3% drain
12:08 pm 32 minutes 2%

One thing I can tell you is the phone is great on battery as long as its on standby (not having the screen on). But as soon as you use that quad HD screen, battery goes down fast. 5% during 4hrs isn't that bad, you might have been receiving notifications or fetch emails on the background.
 
The old girl does tend to sit at 100% for a long time, even with use, before dropping to 99%.

I've noticed that mine indicates 100% charge considerably before it actually stops charging. That would at least partially explain why from 100% to 99% takes much longer than from 99% to 98%.

I think it might have something to do with the battery monitoring app/program. I've had that issue where it will get stuck on "Collecting battery info... Please wait" for quite a while after charging. Maybe it gets stuck and reports 100% even when it's not.
 
Yes, the same happens to me only when I charge until 100%. It can drop until 97 in 30 minutes even if I don't use anything
 
Yeah - I've noticed that it sits at 100% a long time before dropping. I've wondered if it's just inaccurate. Was thinking about resetting my battery stats to get it to read things more accurately (I can't believe it's really at 100% after 30 minutes of use), but I don't want to screw things up as the battery life has been good for me.
