I’ve noticed that my cell phone (Galaxy S5) seems to last longer than most. I guess I don’t use it as much as others?
Recharge every night, answer a few calls and texts throughout the day, stream Sirius during work, surf the internet at lunch, play music during my workouts, and at the end of the day I still have 20%+ battery life.
I carry a spare battery bank and charger just in case, but have never needed to use them…except one time when my flight was delayed for several hours and had nothing to do but surf youtube.
How quickly do you go through your cell phone battery?
Guess I don’t use my phone that much. I get home with 40%-50% remaining. I used to heavily tweak for battery life (black theme on AMOLED screen, wakelocks, greenify, underclock) and get 3 days out of it.
Since installing KAMI 2 (a game that seems to use more than even watching video), I go from 90% to 10% in about 45 minutes. but clearly that is an anomaly.
It really does depend on the day and the amount of data you use, how many background apps you have running, how many phone calls you make and how good your signal is. In one room in my house the phone keeps changing between masts; each time it does this it uses a load of power, and can run down very fast.
Some days I use 20% all day, others I charge it once or twice.
