I fixed my issue by returning the phone after three days of cell standby sucking 59% of my battery, and talking to VZW and Samsung daily. Finally, I did a factory reset, did not restore any data or load any apps and for 9 hours left the phone sitting untouched on the counter top with decent...

VZW did tell me they are beginning to get regular calls about this issue. For those who have not had this issue, I am glad to hear it. It is a beautiful and otherwise very nice phone. Samsung nor VZW can explain why cell standby is using so much battery but at least VZW did acknowledge that...

I had another conversation with vzw today and was also sent to tier 2 guy. He basically said that because signal is weak my battery life SHOULD SUCK then he proceeded to probe my daughter's s5 and could give no explanation as to why her battery is fine with the same level of signal. It was...

Sorry meant to say on vzw site.

I need four more Posts before I can post a link. Article 80200 in trouble shooting tips. Software update, software upgrade assistant (samsung). I can't yet tell if clearing the cache and wiping from boot menu helped. My problem with this whole thing is why, if they new this, didn't they fix it...

Ok, people who are on vzw. According to vzw tech support, there have been problems with the last update loading clean. It looks like something that happened before before because the article they sent me to is in regards to the S5. There is a fix that was (I was told) put together by samsung...

hmmmmm thanks so much for saying if you don't like it, get a different phone rather than addressing any specifics. I'm not the only person having wifi and battery issues. A simple I haven't had any issues would have been cool.

I saw a couple of early hands on vids that said you would be able to put 10 contacts on the edge, also, that there would be more options than just call text or email for edge contacts. I saw one where you could put commonly used functions on the other edge opposite the ppl and apps edge. Most...

I am in a weak signal area and have been since the day I bought the OG droid. I have NEVER had a phone use this much battery keeping signal. The OP is coming from a note 4 and is noticing a huge change, my daughters S5 does not have this issue in the same house. Seriously what gives?

It's stellar to look at but some minor issues are making me rethink the phone. I'm sort of luke warm toward the phone when I am actually using it and it is missing several things that most hands on videos said it would have. This is my first time with a samsung phone (other than the galaxy...

My cell standby is using 58%. Over night from 11pm until I thought to check the battery at about 8:00 am ish, 70% of my battery drained. I have never in my life lost anything near that over night. I'm coming back to android from Lumia icon and I rarely charged that phone overnight. I might...
