I've felt like the battery dies quickly for a while now but with the release of pokemon go the problem is that much more prominent.
I think pokemon took 10% battery in 5 minutes.
I've had this samsung galaxy alpha for about 1 year and 8 months.
Few weeks ago (? Or few months) the phone started to sometimes just shut off. It would be at like 40% and then drop to 0% and then go back up to around 40% when I checked the battery stats. I haven't had that problem in a week or two though. I have read that it dropping to 0% and then back up like that means the battery is crap.
Like I've did I've said I felt like the battery was bad for a very long time. Maybe since I got it but I didn't think too much off it because I would use my phone a lot. Kik has been what takes most of my battery. Although a friend with w different android phone said that kik didn't take nearly as much battery as mine did.
Today.
Today I Didn't use my phone that much and wanted to see how long it would last.
I had my WiFi off when I was outside. On when I was inside. GPS was off 98% of the time. Bluetooth was off 100% of the time. Screen brightness was on auto and power saving mode (without grey scale) was on.
I took maybe 3 pictures and spent most of the time on kik or chrome. Reddit a bit.
It lasted about 5 hours.

I was considering buying a new battery for the phone but I've heard a lot of people complain about the battery. Is it maybe better to just get a new one? (Turn this one in for a discount).
Are there good tips to reduce battery consumption?
I always leave my phone connected to the charger at night because I use it as an alarm and I want it to be at 100% when I leave home. I've heard you're not supposed to die but that had happened a fair amount of times. Although others say the phone shuts down before it actually gets discharged completely (phone says 0% but it's actually x%) so who knows.
