Galaxy S5: How's everyone's battery life so far?

[Eclipse2K]

What are u talking about terrible? If your phone has been on for 4 hours and u have 3 hours of screen time u have been using it non stop. Be lucky as most phones can barely reach 3hrs of screen time before being close to dead

This.

Total on time doesn't matter if your display is on constantly. The display is the primary battery hog so that time is excellent.

Are you on t mobile? If so, could that be from wifi calling or whatever they call it?

Loving the S5 battery seems to be going well for me, these are for day 1 and day 2 after full charge the night before...

When do you guys plug In for charge 5%?

I love my nexus 5. But it can't come close to touching this thing. I've never had a phone get battery life this good.

How is standby battery drain on the S5? Especially on LTE?

Cell signal looks really bad, so that could be why you're not seeing as good results as some others, but still pretty good.

I am having issues with my battery. I d/l an app that ended up using 70%+ of my battery so I uninstalled it. However, it says that 64% of my battery is still being used up by that App that I no longer have on that phone. Any ideas as to how to fix this?

Not to bad for day 5. getting these numbers pretty consistently.

Ok folks, this phone is awesome. Granted, I am a lite user (don't really watch videos or play games), but 3.5 days on one charge is just fantastic...
Some settings that got me there:
-25% screen brightness (in doors, this is all you need on this much improved screen)
-GPS, Bluetooth off
-Always around solid WiFi connection at home and work.
-Only Gmail account syncing, others are disabled.

Those of you not happy with battery life, it's worth check location, WiFi settings. Setting location mode to "battery saving" and unchecking "always scanning WiFi points for location service" in WiFi advanced setting will improve battery drain during stand by.

You can plug in whenever. It won't hurt the battery .

It looks like my post got buried, could anyone comment on the above?
