So far I'm content with this. Have some tweaking to do to improve this a bit.

I've had blue tooth on all day (paired with my Gear 2), brightness auto, wifi off, nfc on.

This doesn't seem all that great, my S4 gets pretty much the exact same battery life as this.

Do you have any wakelocks potentially decreasing battery life?

The time seems decent but I was expecting better myself. I hope it settles and improves. Android System is eating a lot of battery though and that's not normal. Screen time should be #1.

Sorry, can't edit an image in. You can see on my Note 3 and same goes for any phone I've used before the Android System shouldn't use a ton.

Could you install GSAM on your S5 and post your results later on? I have seen some S5 battery stats with excessively high kernel usage and your S5 might have the same issue.

Thanks UJ95x.

I was just posting an example showing that Android System shouldn't be a hog and above display time.

Friday I got 16 hours of total time before I charged at 17%. On screen time was 5 hours. Is that considered good or bad?

Excellent. That's about what the Note 3 gets but under the Droid Maxx by about 2 hours. That's expected though given the power it has under the hood.

Plus, at 2800 mah compared to the Maxx 3300ah, I'd say you're doing amazing.

How the heck did you do that? My friend is constantly complaining about his S4 battery life, lol.

Remember, battery life should actually improve slightly throughout the week. See how it turns out there. Also, it depends on how bright the display is, auto brightness or low/high, auto updates, WiFi vs Cellular signal, signal quality, etc.

The maxx is 3500mah. But I'm getting pretty good battery life just coming from the maxx myself. I would average around 7hours screen on time with the maxx. So far I'm seeing around 4.5 or so with s5. Once its settled in and I get everything setup I'll see where my normal usage is at

5 hours of screen time? All the time on my s4. I don't think that it was a rare occurrence eather for an s4 in general. I had a couple of 7 hour screen time days on the M8 that I sold. I just installed GSAM so I will give it a day or two then start posting screen shots.

Wow, I really forgot how big it was. I'm confusing it with the RAZR Maxx HD I think.

Can't wait to get mine and see if I like it. As long as its comparable to the Note I'll be good. And seeing some stats here it seems to be.

I was getting 5+ hours on my S4 as well. Even better now with a custom ROM

Most apps are now compatible. The only one I have that isn't is QuizUp, and I'm not sure if they have added it yet. Main difference should be battery life, but performance should also be slightly better.
