I bought another battery just to get through the day and I only use it moderate to heavy. When my contract ends I will not be getting another samsung phone. Over rated if you ask me.

After recharging 250-300 times it will become weaker and after 700 to max 1.000 times a battery dies, it's simple... Just buy a new one every 6-8 months to make sure you'll get the best out of your phone. The best way to keep your battery up to speed is by replacing it.

Slowly been turning things off one by one and testing next day to see what exactly is causing this! Now I'm on day 3 of having fixed the issue and now getting at least 1 and half days of use before re-charging. The absolute biggest problem is remaining logged into facebook! Dont know why and im no scientist lol, but logging out of facebook after checking for updates e.t.c has a 100% difference.

I noticed that turning the LED indicator off, adjust your brightness to minimum needed (not max all the time, that's stupid), Bluetooth off (until needed, un), NFC off (un), mobile hotspot off (un), etc... help a lot. Click on battery and see what apps are taking up the most power, the Android System should be at the top followed by whatever programs and apps are currently running. Disable the ones you don't need. At the moment I have 71% battery life left, which equals 7h 7m. All I do is talk, text and listen to music. It's not the phone, it's not the apps, nor is it the battery. It's simply the user! If i turn my car on (but not the engine) and have the a/c, radio, blinkers, navigation system, wipers, lights, dome lights, trunk light, rolling the power window up and down, all while charging my wife iPhone, guess what THE BATTERY IS GOING TO DIE A LOT SOONER, than if I had just paid attention and turned off what I didn't need. Sorry, If I seem to rant, but I get tired of posts that blame equipment because of misuse, like I do when golfing. I understand that equipment dose fail, but I do know that there isn't a battery on earth that is self sustaining. Dheers....
