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

Can't send MMS or check voice mail over wifi on Verizon....have to be connected to 4G. I used to be able to do both of these on Sprint.

My battery drains really quick. I use it moderately throughout the day. I'm going to try a factory reset today and see if it helps. If not I'm going to see if I can exchange the phone. I get like a days use...maybe.

I've found with all Samsung's a factory reset in it's early life does it a world of good!
I also then add Apps slowly and individually to see if each one makes a difference to the battery
 
That sucks, saves a ton a battery lol.

I doubt it would affect battery unless ur sending MMS 5 times a minute

Yeah it wouldn't.. You'd have to be sending a ton to keep the radio active.. Which then would be a drain. A quick picture here and there won't cause much usage :).

Isn't getting a days use good? I used my heavily for 17 hours yesterday and when I went to bed it was at 37%. That's better than most devices, better than my laptop, my Tab 2 or anything for the most part.

AMEN! Their must be some clinical latin term for this Battery Obsession! Just use it and enjoy, these forum feed on themselves and cause you to think your phone is faulty. Not the case everyone uses the phone differently. But as you said whats the use if you have everything turned off and a back and white screen? Battery Obsession is a sad thing.

I would love to get an entire day with moderate use. My battery is absoltely terrible on my gs5. I got a replacement yesterday so hopefully it is better today. I took it to Samsung yesterday and it was at 88%. The guy plugged it in to diagnose it and about 10 minutes later it was at 79%. He looked at me and goes "Ya thats not good."
 
Not toooo bad. Dont use my phone like others though because I have multiple galaxy phones but im still getting decent life.
