How is your battery life?

Droidwall and greenify help a lot.

Don't Greenify messaging apps though, or you can start missing messages.

Or alarms or anything else that you rely on a notification to alert you, cause it won't. It will be hibernated and won't be able to

Edit: don't hibernate aftermarket keyboards or live wallpapers either.

My phone is not rooted. On a typical day when I'm on wi-fi most of the day at work I'll be down to around 30% in the evening, and that's with most of my usage being phone calls and text messges. If I have bluetooth enabled (even if I'm not using my earpiece) it's usually in the teens. I just got back from being on vacation for a few days however, and even when I turned off bluetooth and wi-fi and only sent a few texts my phone was down to 5% battery by around 3pm. Would switching on Power Saving Mode have helped, should I have killed some apps, is there a battery maintenance app I could be using, or maybe do I need a new battery?

There is an app called DS battery saver that will help a lot. It sleeps your data connections when your phone is idle and not being used (3g, wifi), and wakes the connection when you start using the phone again. also some apps have a bad habbit of draining power, check out greenify (also an app) to handle that problem. I have purchased a battery on Ebay that is extended capacity but stiil OEM size so the normal cover still fits.

Yes, those are the apps. I use both of them, and now am not wasting power when not actively using my phone.

What it worth to have a smartphone if you have to keep shuting down apps. I need to have from 9-6 my phone on both wifi and data. So i hate to take care about battery. So i have a spare one just in case.

Extended capacity?

Can you post a link?

If one has smartphone then you have to get used with fast depletion of battery. Get a back up one and voila problem solved.
I bought mine on amazon. It is 2500mah but is depleted same rate like original of 1900mah. The seller is ok but not the intended advertisement of higher capacity.
As long as is working no worries. Good luck
