A family of S6 converts

[Zoostation]

Now that my sister and dad bought a 64GB white and 32GB black sapphire, we are all S6 converts this go around. Got my sister over from an iPhone 4S when 3mo ago I was sure she'd get an iPhone 6. My dad switched from a Droid Razr HD. Hopefully he will be ok with the battery life Battery size is about the same, but the razr was only 4.7" at 720p. Any suggestions for what he should disable besides flipboard, Verizon messages and Google location services?

A family that upgrades together stays together. Disable all the bloat that you don't use. Disable all the Google services that you don't need synched. Turn off the a Smart Network Switch.

Don't even see that option on mine. I already had made sure I was on CDMA/LTE

On wifi, do you have "More"in the upper right corner.

Found it but was already turned off.

Also under "wifi" then "advanced" ensure "Always allow scanning" is off. This could cause some drain if the wifi keeps kicking on randomly.

Keep wifi off during sleep set to Always.

Do you mean the keep wifi on setting? Or do you mean they should have it set to shut off?

This has been talked about a lot. It doesn't really do anything for battery life.

There is an actual option for this setting.
