Does anyone have any good tips or tricks for battery life. Aside from adjusting screen brightness, and only using bluetooth when you need it, or having Wi-fi on only when you have a network to connect to? I'm seeing a huge drain from the Android OS all of a sudden and I can't figure out why, its draining almost as much as the screen.
Battery Life

This was happening to me, the apparent fix for me was in WiFi --> menu--> advanced--> uncheck "Best Wi-Fi performance". Otherwise maybe something is running in the background?
Battery life was pretty damn good prior to installing the Easy Saver app. Its definitely improved further now. 23 hrs and phone was at 19% thats how long my last charge lasted before i plugged in. I play games a bit browse the web and send a good amount of txt not to much call time though. So as always battery varies depending on the user and even then it varies depending on what that user feels like doing that day
Easy saver app is pretty good. one question, what setting do you set yours to? I set mine to general today and its at normal battery life w moderate useage...

Alright, someone is going to have to help me... 
i got the phone on saturday, and the battery seemed to hold out well. I used it on Sunday at home, all day, basically on almost the whole day, just installing apps after apps, talking on the phone, web browsing, changing wallpapers... basically everything, and after 12.5 hours it was still at 15% (still not as great as some of you guys), but I was more than ecstatic. and then I came to work, and the battery has been horrible, as you can see today's usage. i don't think it's just because i'm at work, i have pretty decent bars as well as wifi. I tested it after i went home, and the decline in the graph was the same. i'm not sure if it's some background process i don't know about, or an app i downloaded later on Sunday! :-(
Does anyone know of apps/tools to figure out what is causing the battery to drain so fast? i've tried all the tips in this thread too!

I can definitely comment on the good battery life of this phone.. on my first day of use after getting it (and you know i was spending a ton of time loading apps and setting things up all over 90% 3G and I still got better battery life than I did on my OG Evo which had a extended battery!)
I am thoroughly impressed.

Quick update on my issue... I did a quick restart and everything is back to normal. Not sure what I did. I didn't necessarily remove or add anything, but after the restart the battery life is ridiculously awesome again. I must have "killed" a background app or service or something! :-/
Anyway, just like others have noted, after 2 hours, it barely goes through a percent of battery life in standby which is fantastic.

Yeah standby battery life is phenomenal. I was coming from Windows Phone where i LOVED the battery life, esp. standby.
Good to see ICS and S4 have basically matched this.

I hate that I started this post. i'm depressed now. My battery is slightly better than my OG EVO. I don't know if I'm a power user or not but at about 1pm today my battery was approaching 40%. I went ahead and charged it up before I leave work but tomorrow I will not charge it until I go to bed to see what it is like. I'm assuming you guys are posting screens from the end of the day, but i would be curious what are you guys and gals seeing around 2pm in your day..
My battery was average first couple of days, but wow it's great right now. Way better then my og evo
Sorry if I'm repeating anything here but I couldn't read through 6 pages of posts lol.
I noticed that it is a bit better than the Evo 3D that I used to have but not by very much. At work I was usually around 30-40% left on my Evo 3D half way through the work day. Now with the 4G LTE I get about 50% half way through work (Which is 4 hours). And I hope we're going to be able to toggle LTE on/off like previous phones could with WiMax or else this phone won't last much with LTE turned on all the time. Also it seems to charge a bit slower than my old Evo 3D but I guess that' because it is a larger battery.

At 8.5 hours today, I used 20% of the battery (battery at 80%), this was with taking several pictures, browsing a bit, a few text messages.... 30 min of screen "on" time. This is actually lower than typical for me, one day battery was at 90% after 9+hours on battery.
Make absolutely sure you have "Best WiFi performance" option turned OFF.
Besides that, your 3G signal level will eat at your battery, so can certain apps and such. If you think you are having a problem, I would recommend a factory reset, add your account back, and then leave everything STOCK (no apps, no changes of any settings) for at least a day and see what happens.
If you're not going to read through I won't bother telling you how to turn LTE off... Pfftt..

I am really satisfied with this phones battery capabilities especially coming off of the OG EVO.
It should be much higher now that I've finished messing around with it.
LOVE THIS PHONE!

Admittedly light use but way better than the EVO3D.

Light use is fine. The OG Evo would drain to 80% just on my commute to work. My percentage now is 92% and its almost noon.
Is it pitiful that I love the battery so much that I text daily screenshots of my battery life and usage to multiple friends constantly .... It's insane.View attachment 27484

In some instances it may be that users are charging their phones, but not noticing that the battery history has not reset to 00.00.00.00.... For me, if it has not reset, then I restart the phone.
With me, and with some light use - 5-10 text messages, 3-4 calls (Airave), 30 min of internet use, using wifi, hardly any 3G signal indoors, I get about 15-18 hrs out of the battery before charging.
