I upgraded to an s5 a few days ago and love it so far. My only issue has been that battery life has been less than stellar, although not horrible. After 16-17 hours I'm down to 5% battery, but that's with very little usage. When I go into the battery page it says Android OS is 35-60% of my battery usage, screen time is only 5-10%, and everything else is small. When you look at the usage graph you can see that my phone is doing things even while the screen is off.
I did some reading on here and installed Battery Doctor. It seems cool and might be helping. However, it seems like I have to run it all the time to get much out of it. Every time I run it at least a few apps, if not more, have started up that I didn't open. The main culprits seem to be google+, google drive, Pandora, and google maps. If I run battery doctor, lock my phone, then come back 2 hours later at least 2-3 of these are open. I've set my gallery to only back up to google+ when on wifi and plugged in.
What am I missing here and/or what should I be doing?
