Question for Verizon users on heat/battery

[anon(782252)]

So nothing looks odd that's worth investigating further? Any tips for improving battery life? Thanks for the help.

In those screenshots everything looks pretty good. Screen is your biggest battery usage by far so it doesn't look like anything is running rogue.

Unless you are making huge sacrifices in the way you want to use your phone, then I personally would be satisfied with those results. But that's me.

The more standby time you use, the less SOT you are going to get.

28 hours with 3.5 SOT. That sounds really really good IMO.

Because I have a slightly limited plan (and I hate Amazon apps) I disabled most of the background data functions. This will cut down on the push notifications, but I don't like them anyway (OK, I'm a dinosaur - I like my phone to talk to me when I want to). It will also cut down on the time the 4GLTE radio & phone processor is running.
I don't have screen shots, but go to:
Settings, Data Usage and it will list the usage by each app for your service period. You can click on an app, and disable background data. For some, you can go directly to app settings. I disabled everything I didn't want a push notification from. Not only is my phone fast, but the battery only gets hot while I'm charging.
