Longer Battery Life

[AHamp10]

Seems like I can't make it through the day without my phone battery. Im not on it alot during the day but by the time I get home after work which is 5:30-6pm its down to 30%. Any suggestions on what I can do for this

What time does your day start? Because if you take it from the charger at 7am that's not a bad battery life. Do you keep GPS/location on?

That's totally reasonable imo. I've been off the plug for 8 hours and I'm at 34%. Disabling the Amazon app store and uninstalling any app from it has corrected my only battery drain.

Disabling GPS is just un-smarting your smartphone. Don't do it!

Clean Master actually increases battery usage, even though its claimed purpose is to decrease battery usage. It would work great if it were being used on a Windows phone, but Android isn't Windows, and works kind of opposite to how Windows works.
