I've had this phone for 5 Months now and went from having on average 5 hours of screen time to around 1 and a half hours to 2 hours.
I've seen decreased battery life slightly but it was corrected with a factory reset or restarting the device occasionally. I've had this Note 3 for about 9 months.

I would turn on power saving mode, turn off Bluetooth, turn off location settings, use wifi if you can, turn off cellular data if it's a bad connection or you don't need it, turn the brightness as low as you can stand it, and turn off some built in apps that are running that you don't use,

Why should i have to change my setting now to accommodate my phone ? I prefer high brightness screens and use data 4g all the time ... I never had this issue start up until around july
I already did all that short of a hard reset and honestly not going to do that.... To much time wasted doing hard resets in the last 3-4 monthsEither the battery is bad, or system is messed up.
Wipe the system cache first and see if it fix it. If not, consider hard reset, if that doesn't work, but a new battery.

Once again why should I now have a 2nd battery? The phone never had this issue till recently and I shouldn't carry batteries or change how I use my phoneOne of the main features that made me chose the Note 3 was the removable battery. I always carry a spare battery, sometimes two. They are cheap and I don't have to worry about battery low. Pulling up on a year with my Note 3, and I have had many long days of continuous use and no worries about battery losing charge.
Your perspective is interesting, but I don't understand why you said what you did. I'm baffled by your post really. Battery tech is still way behind the phone hardware in this context and that's why we still have phones lasting only a day or so before the battery dies.Once again why should I now have a 2nd battery?

For me the reason for wanting a spare is dead easy; because smartphones don't always last long enough on a single charge. It's still a phone and so I hark back to the days of the Nokias that lasted days without a charge despite the seemingly constant use. For the size and price of a 2nd battery, it's a no brainer to have one spare.
A lot of people look at having a removable battery as a huge selling point. It certainly was one for me and one big reason why I came from HTC to Samsung. So my question is: If you're out somewhere and your battery runs out and there's no way to charge it, won't you be kicking yourself for not spending the few pounds/dollars it costs to have a spare? Especially on the day when you're watching someone like me casually changing out the dead for the fully charged one hehe. I know I would be!
