I will watch this, thanks. Just a quick question. My battery lasts almost 2 days. Is it bad to charge it every night, even though it is only half charged.

Your battery lasts how long? Wtf?

And no, it's not bad to charge a lithium ion battery nightly. Every month, just drain it down to zero and fully charge it.

Very easy if you don't turn on the screen lol. I get 36+ hours on my battery if I leave my phone sitting around except when I text & call & occasionally facebook message. But if I start using it heavily (few hours of gaming, etc), taking some pictures, then it drains a lot quicker.

My phone fully charged in the morning (or at 94%) will last me the whole day and at the end of day it will be around 45%. I have used it the next day and it will last me till night around 10+pm and be at around 12%

So my phone can also last 2 days

I must say after a week with the S4 the battery last much longer than the S3. As an example the S3 would be below 20% by 6pm if I didn't do a top up charge doing the day. The S4 has been at 50 - 60% by 6pm with similar usage. Systems other than the screen used up a higher %of the battery in the S3.
So I am thinking not only the larger battery but the android OS has improved battery usage on the S4. Go android. Looking forward to 5.0

I will charge it at night. Then turn it on in the morning around 6:00 am. I am not using many apps, weather channel, email, news, amazon. I also take pictures and make some calls. Then at 10 p.m. at night I shut it off. the next day the battery is a little more then half used, and it will last me until about 8:00 at night. So about 2 days. Way better then any other phone I have used.
