Re: What battery life should I expect with low to moderate use?
I'm no heavy user, I consider myself a moderate one, no gaming, just check my tons of emails and once at home I see my Flipboard magazines and Google Pay News and obviously check my Android forums.
With my Galaxy S4 before the Kit Kat update I was getting constantly 4 hours of Screen On Time, after the Kit kat update, immediately, that same day that it took the update, Android System and Android OS went up and never went back down after almost 11 months constant. It resulted on a screen on time reduction I was barely getting little more than 3 hours. The S5 right out of the box was giving me 4.5 hours of screen time, even with the same Android OS and Android System battery usage, and after a couple of adjustments and removal of unneeded apps and running services I've been able to get since last week 5+ hours of screen time. An average of over 2 hours more than the S4 with Kit Kat, so if we find why the Kit Kat is using so much Android OS and Android System and fix it or modify it, we can get by the logic described above 1 hour more of screen time. In my case an awesome 6+ screen on time.
Here is my stats for last night, used my Gear 2 for hours, so bluetooth was turned on, also it wasn't a normal day, as I didn't work, so I was all day at home using the phone constantly.
