Long time reader, first time poster here, so go easy on me, lol.
Just got a GS6 this past Sunday to replace my S5 (which was all but bricked by the Lollipop update)
I set the S6 up exactly like the S5 was (including a lower screen brightness and such), but so far, the battery is killing me. With only very light use today, the battery is already down 38% since 8am this morning. (yes, I got the Samsung push update, and no, I hardly ever stream music or videos) I've already disabled all the usual suspects, plus more, for a total of 35 disabled apps/services, but I'm more than a bit frustrated at the moment.
So, I'm considering returning it and swapping it for a diff. phone, but which one? The Nexus 6 looks intriguing, but does its bigger battery actually help? OR should I look at the HTC M9?
Thanks!
