Looks fine to me. Here's what I get.
hay day and snapchat take alot of battery
Interesting. I guess that's why I get Low Signal a lot. I am usually between two and five bars. I have a Microcell at home which always gives me five bars.
Any idea how long the signal has to be at two bars to trigger Low Signal? I guess it's not a big deal because I rarely drop, or can't place a call, but seeing it bother me...
Thanks!
Settings says differently :/. If it really was untouched, those numbers should be higher.

Weird, at my house I have 1-2 bars and never get dropped calls, and I pull 20-30mbps download on LTE. But even though it's still 1-2 bars I never really see "Low Signal". Maybe since I'm on Wifi at my house? I still can't manage more than 6 hours.
Do you think I should have left longer for first time charge?
Probably 7 hours not good enough....
I never do anything like that whenever I get a new device or battery and have typically ended up with fine numbers. I'm not sure if modern batteries really need to be first used like that anymore.
First or any charge simply needs to be for as long as it takes to get to 100%--the phone itself will stop charging when it's full no matter how long you keep it plugged in.
Really? I didn't know that. So, it won't damage the phone to keep it plugged up after it reaches 100%? Wow, this is going to save me a lot of grief. Thanks!

In my experience it does. I'm on LTE 100% of the time since it's unlimited, but Wi-Fi helps a lot for battery.
What are your settings? That's great battery life!
No major changes that I know of, except turning off background app refresh for unnecessary apps, turning off automatic screen brightness (personal preference), hardly using LTE (because I had WiFi most of the time), automatic update for apps turned on only on wifi.
