Battery life??

[mkstn]

Very strange... something is not right. I would get in to a Verizon store and see if they will swap out the battery.

Was that directed to me? Regardless gonna take it to the store tomorrow and ask.

The main things I have noticed when it comes to this phone or any android device in general is that auto brightness absolutely demolishes battery life. Disable auto brightness and set it to like 35-40% and it last quite long with moderate use. My moderate use is like 3.5 hours of screen on time and power saving features are not enabled. Moderate use and mostly standby I get 20+ hours before next charge.

I'll try it out. Maybe it'll help, but I seem to drop power even when screen is off.

Another whacky thing. Normal to charge this fast?

Really feel like I have an issue, but don't know if I'm just being an ungrateful idiot.

"Awake" time is not remotely the same thing as a wake lock.

Something is definitely up with the clock though. You might want to look into troubleshooting that first. But honestly, your battery life isn't all that bad. 2+ hours of screen time on so far and based on that usage, you're projected to get near 17 hours on a charge. Get the clock figured out and you should get a bit more time.

Oh okay sorry I'm not familiar with these terms. Either way it was awake too much for my tastes so I turned off NFC, turn over to mute, and cleared clock data. Got 12 hours with 4 hours of screen on time and only an hour of held awake. I'm happy

I let the battery run down to 9% then turned the phone off and charged it. I let it charge over night. I used the phone moderately, played some games, checked facebook and twitter etc... The charge lasted gor me 1d 3hrs. I thought that was excellent. I'm smiling.

No reason to ever turn the phone off.

FoxKat, the well-respected battery expert around these parts, will strongly disagree with you, at least in certain situations.

My best results with my battery is when I have turned it off to charge.

No reason to turn it off to charge the phone to max, you are not getting a better charge of the battery while phone is off.
