Even without RCS and EAB...my battery life has degraded to barely 4 s.o.t...any one else?

Next to a complete fdr... I'm ready to move on... My turbo is 16 months old. Battery life used to be 6.5. + hours of SOT. Now I can barely get 4???? Been thru all the normal trouble shooting, I.e. app uninstalls, force closing and reboots. The usual and normal apps and the like. My signal is steady, no heavy draws on the battery and still, it's no better than a s5! Any one else think it's time to upgrade?

It'd interesting to see how it fares, after a quick setup from FDR. Sometimes apps don't play well with each other, and sometimes they completely hog resources behind the scenes.

How deeply are you allowing the battery to discharge before charging it? 40% should be the minimum. Constantly trying to get the last ounce of juice out of it will kill the battery in a few months.

I try to plug in around 40% usually. But plenty of times it has been 15-30%....

My battery life is nowhere near what I got when the Turbo was new in October, 2014....but isn't that normal? After 18 months of use shouldn't you expect battery life to diminish? Every device I've ever owned had diminished battery life that started to be noticeable after the first year at least. These things do wear out.

I'll have to agree with you! Maybe I just was thinking that a 3900 mah battery would live a little longer!
