should I return my phone

[Sim Sim Salabim]

So I took your advice and changed some settings. I did not do a factory reset yet, I wanted to try tweaking the setting first. I tried to clear the cache on the recovery mode but it just kept saying downloading on a blue screen on nothing happened. I charged my phone to 100 percent before bed and unplugged it. With the always on screen function with time turned on, I only lost 3 percent in about 8 hours. This is my usage today, with 3:45 mins of SOT. It seems much better. So thanks for the tips.

It's crazy how so many different people have so many different experiences. When unplugged from 100% I get at least 35hours estimated usage time. I pre ordered and got the phone 3 days early and the battery time has gotten better and better. I'm really impressed tbh. I have the Xynos in the UK.

35 hours? Do you have any apps installed on your phone?

Knock on wood, but my initial testing for me (on Verizon, snapdragon processor) shows much better battery life after the latest firmware update (2nd since launch, this one's says there are wifi optimizations and security patches) that was released today.

1.4% per hour on idle, as measured by gsam...

Long story short, today is 15 days not 14 since I activated the phone so Verizon won't do anything.

I talked to VZW because I'm having issues with my phone too and I'm out of the 14-day exchange period and asked them what my options were if there are issues that can't be fixed. Their answer was that we'd use the Samsung 1-year warranty. If you go directly through Samsung, you'd probably have to return your phone to them for up to 14 days, if not more. If you go through VZW (using the warranty), they'll give you a phone. Not sure where it'd go from there, but just an FYI in case you continue to have issues. You're not completely screwed.

Using Facebook that much is a sure way to kill your battery.

Yeah, Facebook will eat your battery life, and soul.
