I have an iPhone 5s right now and I am eligible for an upgrade. With the S7/edge BOGO deal going on at most providers including Verizon I am wondering how this would work. My son has a S4 which is also eligible for upgrade and getting him a new phone for free would be pretty convenient. Looked...

Don't suppose any of you guys use 3rd party launchers? Because I'd imagine touchwiz is a big part of terrible battery life. I currently have a GS4 with the same size battery and get maybe 2 hours of on screen time (using nova launcher). I use it more conservatively than I would like to though...

Thanks for responding guys. I have to say I am more disappointed with that than the 6S battery life. Even though iOS is more optimized than android, I still would've thought the bigger battery would've yielded better results. Posted a thread on an apple forum but for the 6S battery life and they...

Yeah so I took my phone to a local computer/mobile shop and they said they'd take a look at it. Turns out a combination of the CPU and screen was faulty and they said that is what is causing the issue. They tested it with a new screen and it worked great. I'm upgrading in a month so obviously I...

If you're a die hard samsung or android fan boy (not really concerned about apple fanboys on an android forum :P) you can just leave now. So for my next phone I'm stuck between the GS6 Edge and iPhone 6S. The battery life is the most important, my job requires me to be able have at least 3 hours...

I remember on an old android phone I had a live wallpaper that when I tapped it, it would animation itself in a way almost identical to Apple's 3D touch wallpapers. I no longer remember what the wallpaper was called... I downloaded this live wallpaper from Apple's website in the form of a .mp4...

I want to 3D print a case for my GS6 Edge for a tech ed project but I need the external design specs of the phone in order to design a case for it. Google searches turned up unsuccessful, so do you think Samsung offers design specs to the public? I mean surely they would otherwise nobody would...

Been having problems for the last month with my battery life. Tried everything from factory reset to replacing the battery and the problem still persists. Today I finally found the cause of the problem. Gsam and better battery widget both report a minimum battery drain of 460mah. Looking at the...

Are you using lollipop? If you're using lollipop, could you please link me to where you downloaded that ROM? Because I have an almost identical problem on kitkat, updated to lollipop and factory reset and still there. I have tried everything besides installing a custom ROM (haven't found a...

I have used many 2.1 amp chargers in the past and never made a difference. Keep in mind the phone had bad battery life since I got it, but maybe in the last month I can't even make it half way through the day. The whole 1-2% drain per minute of screen time (even idle on the homescreen) seems...

Yeah removing the SD card didn't help at all. Discovered the power saving mode last night too but the battery seems to drain at the same rate... very disappointed.

Thx for responding. I updated to the stock lollipop firmware today. Did a factory reset after and battery life has improved maybe slightly. As for the SD card, I just removed it so I will play with it tomorrow and reply back with the results. I was using a 2 amp iPad charger and a basic micro...

I have a galaxy s4 and have had battery issues with it since I got it. The time it took me to sign up for this site, my battery has drained 6%. It lasts maybe an hour of screen time in general. Now, you might be thinking there's background apps sucking away the battery, but I've tried...
