I just wrote a response to this...not sure where it went. Anyway I disabled the built in stuff I don't use like NFL Mobile as well as Google and Amazon add-ons I don't use. I also keep my phone in power saving mode at all times.

Verizon's Cloud.

My phone usage is generally Internet browsing, email checking, and Spotify streaming. I disabled most of the built in apps (things like NFL Mobile and Slacker Radio), as well as some of the add-ons from Google and Amazon that I don't use like Google Music. I also keep power saving mode on, and...

It was 45% when I woke up. Not bad for being idle 8 hours. I haven't charged my phone since yesterday morning, currently at 37%. I'd post a screen but I don't have enough posts yet.

Looks like my phone has settled a bit. I charged it this morning to 100%, and now I'm at 51%. Mostly idle, but I've had a good two hours of screen time. Now THIS is the phone I paid for. I'm wondering if the Cloud was working overtime for me before (since it's a new phone) and was causing the...

How long does it usually take for the phone to settle down? I charged my phone to 100%, it's down to 94% in about 25 minutes. Battery screen says only 6 hours left. At this rate my phone will be dead by lunch. I turned off printing as well. Gsam also says "phone radio" is eating 26% of my...

Thanks for the suggestions. My location is always off anyway, and Smart Network switch was already off. Is there a guide to bloatware? I don't really know what I should and shouldn't disable. In the time between this post and my last post the battery drained another 4% down to 40%. :/

Is there anything I can do to prevent the Cell standby from eating 21% of my battery? That doesn't seem normal at all. I've already turned on power saving mode. In an hour of use I'm down from 65% to 44%. If I can't fix this I'm definitely returning this phone.

I don't have enough posts to post a screenshot...but the battery settings say the cell standby is using 20%. I talked to a Verizon rep but he wasn't much help.

I just bought this yesterday and my battery life is horrible. It drained 22% while just being on standby. Even my S4 was never this bad. Is my phone defective? Does anyone have any advice? According to Gsam the cloud seems to be eating a lot of battery. Should I disable it? Will disabling it...
