Horrible battery life. Please help!

Make sure GPS is off if you don't need it. Same with Wi-Fi. Be careful of some apps that use battery. Facebook app for example. I just use a bookmark instead of the app.

I leave GPS and wi-fi on all the time and get good battery life. I don't think that's the answer.

Why should we have to cut features off to use the phone?

The answer, as always: Get rid of the Facebook apps.

if features use power, and the goal is to increase battery....

This phone really does NEED a higher capacity battery and amoled display though (and the SD 820). as much of a fan as I am with its true colors... its no use if your battery keeps falling flat. And it definitely is an inconvenience swapping batteries.

Its not that bad switching batteries, it's switching batteries so often that does it.
