LOL! Calm down. It was a joke. And that's what I've essentially had to do with other phones. I've gotten so fed up, and tired of tinkering, I abandoned ship.

You have complained about a couple posts already in this thread, and then you say calm down, lol.
I didn't realize that "power users" like yourself gave up so easily. I guess power user means different things to different people though.
Calm down! it is a joke!

You're telling me. My kids are crazy about Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat and now this Vine app. They are on them constantly. But I seriously doubt that she is spending 3-4 hours on it during her 6 hour day. And if she is then her phone is no better than my Nexus 4 or any other phone.Yeah, there may be an issue with her particular phone. Another possibility is that she may be using it more while she's in school than you think. I only know one kid in high school now (I'm 31, oy vey) and I was surprised at how often he tweets and instagrams from school! When I was in high school, you were lucky if you had a pager lol. Cell phones didn't go mainstream until I was in college. I bet kids cannot even fathom what it was like to go through school without Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, etc.

Glad to see you guys getting pretty good battery life. On day 2, and mine sucks. I have wi-fi on the majority of the day, and bluetooth for my pebble smartwatch and my car connection. GPS is on but I'm not using a lot of apps that use location except weather. I know that these batteries get better as you use them for a little while, but I don't even have any real apps installed yet.
Slightly disappointed to be honest.

If you arent using gps why have it on. It will eat your battery. Same with blue tooth.

Ya GPS is nasty. Just put Widgetsoid on your screen and toggle your bluetooth and gps. You can also just turn off the gps and leave on the wifi location services.

Bluetooth stays on because it is connected to my watch, and car and I don't want to be bothered toggling it. Same thing goes for GPS. I don't want to have to toggle it every time I check the weather or use a location aware app. My iPhone had no problems keeping everything running and making it through the day. If it persists to be bad, I'll turn off GPS, but its a pretty big disappointment.

Your weather will still update if you keep the basic location services on but the main GPS off. The bluetooth isn't as bad, so no worries there.

I use Tasker to turn things on and off programmatically. Based on time, plugged in, program running etc. An example is gps goes on if I run maps. Blutooth on if plugged in.

This might be a dumb question then, but will Android notify me if an app needs the main GPS like iOS does? Or will it just not work until I re-enable the GPS?
I hear that from a lot of people. I actually bought Tasker back when it first game out and I was on my original Droid. I never really took the time to learn it, but maybe that is something that I should do now. Thanks for the suggestion.

Tasker is one of those apps I always install within the first five minutes of configuring a new device. It's one of the apps that truly shows the difference between ios and Android. It has tons of uses.

Typical day for me. If the One was awake for 10+ minutes I was listening to music (Spotify/AmazonMP3 with music downloaded already). 5PM - 6PM I had Spotify running (downloaded music already) through the speakers.
I got a few PM's last time about my settings here's the general run down. GPS off, battery saver on (I work in a concrete building, can't get data anyway), and use advanced system killer to kill all apps except: Galaxy pack, Battery Widget, WhatsApp, and Wallet. For me this saves a ton of battery life from apps that might be running without me properly closing them. I suggest the app 100%, it's quick and easy to setup.
Edit: As mentioned before, Facebook was uninstalled. I still stand by my statement that it draws too much battery since it's very data hungry in regards to background usage. Mobile web works fine for me with Chrome.

Would you mind giving me some ideas of what you use Tasker to do exactly? Especially things in regards to saving your phone battery life/making your life with your phone easier? I can't think of anything other then enabling/disabling certain toggles that I'd really use it for.

Hi all,
New to android so wondering if someone could help me out please ... Was having trouble with my weather/app widget not been able to find my current location so I did a hard reset of my phone. Initially it looked like it didn't make any difference but after about 7 hours it started working I did enable the "GPS satellites" option in the location menu and was wondering if I leave this switched on will it drain my battery or will the weather app/widget only use it when it sync's, which it's currently set to do every 3 hours?
Thanks in advance...

Yeah HTC is using a ****TY accuweather widget that can't even keep up with location changes. When it says unable to find current location, a reset with fast boot ticked off usually works (found in the power settings). I'm pretty sure GPS satellites will drain the battery.

Yes you will always get prompted when you activate something that requires GPS. Ie google maps.

Awesome. I'll try making some tweaks and see how the battery fairs for day 3. I've read that by the 3rd day (full charge cycles) the battery will be at its peak level. Any truth to this? Or will it continue to improve until its inevitable decline?
Oh, and back when I had my incredible I had to bump charge it by unplugging it when it was full and plugging it back in to get the full charge out of it. Is that still a thing?

For me, I've been getting 1d 4h usage with mobile connection, nfc, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth on in my car and with moderate usage. Basically, I've been using the power saver with a few widgets running and been getting very good life out of her.
