Just got my phone today.

So after my car accident I was in the market for a new phone because of my epic 4G touch biting the dust.

I love this phone. I get lte when it comes to my area, it's fast as hell, buttery jelly bean smooth, and no sprint bloatware.

However, like everything, I have some concerns. The battery life is pretty horrible. I was at 100 percent and 5 hours later after leaving It alone, it was down to 70 percent. Any tricks of the trade? Any cool facts I should know??

Glad you like the phone!

That's about the battery mine got.
LTE is a battery whore so you might wanna switch that off if you can live with non-LTE speeds.
Or try DS Battery Saver from the Google Play Store--> https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...m.rootuninstaller.batrsaverpro&token=B3FeH5cX

Yeah I have the same battery issues. Ive had this phone for 2 months and plan on getting a solar charger for when it warms up here in Chicago. (Mainly because of ingress)

I usually get around 10-14 hrs of battery life... try not to use GPS, Sync, or data if u dont have to... Turn them ON as needed basis only, just having Data off will save u a lot of battery life. Thats how I do it and i can go a whole day with out charge. I unplug at 6 am and dont need to plug back untill 8 pm or so.

Yeah I turned off sync. It seems to be holding pretty steady now. I love this thing I would hate for it to die in the middle of the day when I need it.
