How to enable SD card support for offline Google Play Music - CNET I think this is what you are looking for. Please let me know if I misunderstood your question.

I am waiting for the moto 360 to come out. Not necessarily to buy, but to decide. I really don't like all the plastic-y smart watches out right now. I much prefer a classic/elegant look and, from the pictures at least, the 360 with that metal band caters perfectly to my tastes. For any kind...

As gavinfabl just posted - you can set it into active mode to keep reading it during an exercise session, which is what mostly people really need. I don't have it so I can say for sure, my impression was that to have it work most accurately you need to have it rotated face down (so you would...

Re: What battery life should I expect with low to moderate use? You can agree with the salesman and I'm sorry if it messed up your phone, but the fact for me at least is that he tried to convince me I should be happy to get 10 hours on mostly standby with my new S5 because of kitkat. I'm glad...

Re: What battery life should I expect with low to moderate use? Update.... It looks like it was almost definitely the battery. After the Verizon rep swapped out my battery I made no other system changes and stuck it in my pocket and didn't use it for 4 hours (which is my baseline with...

Re: What battery life should I expect with low to moderate use? @sirmaru Today was no better with everything turned off I could think of. Everything is set to working under wi-fi only right now. When I swapped my phone out it synced up my apps, photos, etc from the cloud before I got home...

Re: What battery life should I expect with low to moderate use? @edge - With a screen time of an hour and a total on time of over seven hours and still about 80% of your battery available - I would personally be more than happy with those numbers....but everything is relative I suppose. Still...

Re: What battery life should I expect with low to moderate use? So far things do not look much better for me today. Started the day off making sure all apps were closed, that I'm on power savings mode (though not ultra) and I've turned off all the non essential features. After an hour and a...

Re: What battery life should I expect with low to moderate use? Apparently with kitkat none of the battery tools have access to the battery usage without rooting. GSam specifically states that it doesn't work because of this. :(

Re: What battery life should I expect with low to moderate use? So sorry, I'm feeling your pain right now :( That's my next step for tomorrow, disable everything I can short of going into ultra power saver mode. I'll keep tweaking and playing with things, but I'm leaning towards wondering...

Re: What battery life should I expect with low to moderate use? I'll try out GSam and will keep an eye on it tomorrow and see what it says. Still, while I understand I can use the ultra low mode, if I plan on only using it lightly during the day and plugging it in every night, I should think I...

Re: What battery life should I expect with low to moderate use? Ok, now you're just making me jealous. But that is more inline with what I was expecting to get.

Re: What battery life should I expect with low to moderate use? Those are all very similar settings to mine other than I leave the BT off. I have a few of the motions and gestures on, but they shouldn't really be a factor if the phone is not used all day. Like you, the only widget I have is...

Re: What battery life should I expect with low to moderate use? No real apps other than what comes stock with the Verizon phone, certainly nothing else running in the background. I can take screen shots :) just not sure how to get it uploaded to the forum yet since that doesn't appear to be...

Re: What battery life should I expect with low to moderate use? Hi, not really sure how to do that yet :) But basically I have a very linear line going straight as an arrow from 100% to 22% over 10h 22m 38s on battery (that's another 6% in the last 30 minutes of non-use). No dips at all...
