Read my post...mine is outstanding!

I have an XL and get 4.5 hours per day and plug it back in with 50% of the battery left. How's that "average"?

This weekend I unplugged at 8 am Saturday morning and 46 HOURS later I had 6% left. This is obviously an outlier and not typical but still outstanding. I ended the period with about 5 hr 40 minutes of screen time with some navigation, some streaming, Youtube streaming, and otherwise mostly just...

As compared to whom? Samsung? I recall all the nonsensical, half-working, "features" they put on the last one I had. Saying that Google "hypes up BS...software" is a bit hyperbolic. Soli was released prematurely, I'll give you that, but the rest of the software package is sublime and practical.

I just got my 4XL and came from a 2XL. With my usage (the biggest variable) my 2XL ended each day with about 10%-15%. So far the 4XL ended its first full day with 31% (I don't charge during the day at all, ever). Assuming your experience will be the same, the battery life is better (not...

Nice post. I don't get all the negative reviews. I got my 4XL to replace my 2XL Wednesday afternoon and, so far, I like it very much. My usage remains typical (~4 hours per day) and the phone ended it's first full day with about 31% remaining (the 2XL was ending at ~10%). For me, it works. I...

I have to agree. I like this phone's somewhat narrower width. It feels smaller in the hand which is great because I almost bought a P4 because the size of my P2XL what starting to bug me. Now with gestures it's height is irrelevant since you don't really need to reach all the way up to pull the...

^^^THIS EXACTLY^^^ Spec-chasing is a thing I try to avoid. What I want in a phone is one that is a big enough improvement over what I currently have to warrant spending money for it. My other requirement is lack of carrier/OEM tinkering (a.k.a. "bloatware") and an iPhone-like software...

My white 4XL 64gig shipped today. Woot!

My 4XL will be here at the end of the week (currently rocking a 2XL). Quick question about the stock launcher: does it show notification icons over apps like Facebook/Messages/Phone? You know, the little numbers that tell you how many calls or texts you have/missed? I went and looked at several...

Data so far: 38% in 24 1/2 hours (1.55% per hour). I'm going to call this resolved for now.

Data so far: 22% in 12 1/2 hours (holding pretty steady at 1.75% per hour).

There's a data-point. So far 7% in 4 hours or 1.75% per hour.

I'll be keeping an eagle eye on this during the day to see if this isn't somehow related to sleep tracking (using the Gear app on my phone to avoid excessive screen on time). At the moment, all I've read about is overnight losses. I don't recall if anyone has reported the same drastic decline in...

Update for this morning: Brought my charger to work today to recharge the watch and do some testing. I turned off automatic updates in the Gear app on my phone. I reset the phone and did not restore any backups (I don't use anything that wasn't on the phone or store music or any other...
