PROBLEM SOLVED!! After TWO! bad batteries.. the third works like a charm.. go figure?
-------
Before you copy paste ways to conserve battery let me tell you what all I have sacrificed.
Every gadget and cool feature from air gesture to S voice to eye scan is OFF.
My brightness is at 30% which I can barely see in daylight.
I have frozen 80% of the apps(bloatware) on the phone.
I have power saver turned on.
I have data turned off and wifi turned on.
I had my phone on for a total of 30 minutes yesterday doing talking on speakerphone and then checked my emails twice. The rest of the day it just idled(with screen off) in my pocket. Battery went down 25%.
Today I get up, phone is fully charged. I watch a 4 minute youtube video, visit 3 websites for a total of 6-8 minutes and my battery is down to 94%(thats a 6% drop!!)
I have changed batteries to the higher yield 3250mah and back and forth, it simply does not change.
I got this phone to use all the features, I got it for the bright screen, I got it because my iphone 4 would not last a day of my moderate usage(im on the internet a good 3 hours a day and then check my emails constantly) without recharge.
And im finding I hate this phone.. To conserve battery even to this point of constant drain I have turned off all the gadgets I bought it for, I have turned off the bright screen. And according to the phone at 95% battery I have 40 minutes of use left!!!
So whats up? Everyone talks about "Oh this phone will do 8 hours of pure internet surfing"
How? It seems I cant even leave my screen on idling for 3 hours before my battery goes kaput!!
Really regretting my switch from apple.. Its one annoyance after another. I did not pay $600 to be annoyed.. in fact I paid $600 to AVOID those annoyances.
