Can't wait to get the M8

I'm glad you're excited about getting the M8 but this thread is about the S5 and battery life.

Please browse the M8 threads,there are many to choose from.

By the way, welcome to the forums

Re: I made a huge mistake today...

If you treat your phone with any level of care it won't experience the battery depletion in a couple months as you mention below. In fact, in most cases by the time we see any sort of battery depletion concerns we are a few years in and it's time for a new phone anyways.

To each their own, just saying I disagree with this battery comment.

Nice! And a few months from now, when you're battery doesn't hold its charge as well as it does now, you can replace the battery and have the same experience you are having now!! Double nice!!!

Perhaps I should of been more clear.....around or after 2 years which is when most users experience battery drain from day to day use. I personally know some people that hold on to their device for well over 2 years and its nice for them to be able to replace the battery then not have the option. I agree with you....to each is own.

I've only heard of these mythical creatures in story books. Pff. People who keep their phone longer than 2 years lol. Jk

I'm holding off on judging the battery life until I've had it at least a week (although so far it's been impressive), but you're right about the charge time. Took an hour and thirty five minutes from 0℅ to 100℅. That's ridiculous.

Yeah it definitely takes takes a few charges cycles for the battery to come into its own. But so far with the extended usage that come with the first few days of having a new phone and the recharge times I'm very very pleased.

My battery has been running down quickly. I made some changes including lowering the screen brightness. The app that is doing the most damage is google+. Is this gmail and chrome? If I hit the recent apps button and close some apps there does that mean there won't drain the battery?

Love this thread. I thought it was just me who noticed how fanatic the battery life is.

My teacher's roommate got an S5 but it had battery issues.

Thanks to it's removable battery, got another one, and was able to enjoy the same phone.

+1 for removable batteries.

Google+ isn't part of Chrome or Gmail. Its a separate application. Go to App Drawer > Settings > Apps > All Apps > Google+ and disable it since it sounds like you don't use it.
