How do you add screen shots on here?

That's good..
What's your screen time like?
Actually, a bit more than an hour for today. Spent the day playing games on PC so yeah...
ATTN: Galaxy users.
If you use "Samsung Link", make sure you kill it before going to standby. I like the Samsung Link app but it will drain your battery if you don't manually kill it or force close.
Do agree on battery charging time it takes a good hour or 2 longer to charge than my iphone 5 but battery life is generally good like my iphone 5.. It lasts me all day.This is what turned me off of Android. I had a VZW Galaxy Nexus and the thing would eat batteries for breakfast. I rooted it, employed kernel tweaks, software tweaks, etc. etc, and could not get a decent battery life. And it took forever to charge, even with fast charge. I had several different batteries as well.
The thing I like about iOS is that it won't turn on the device until it has enough charge to stay on. The galaxy nexus would turn on while connected to a car charger and turn right back off again because it didn't have enough charge to stay on. When using it for GPS directions in the car, it would actually drain while connected to the car charger. I've never had an iOS device drain while connected to a charger.
The previous Android I had, the Thunderbolt was just as bad. Maybe I just had bad luck, I don't know, but I find my VZW iPhone 5 battery life to be stellar. Even when I get below 20%, I can still eek out a couple more hours,at least, if I turn the screen brightness down. And my iPhone 5 charges very fast, and doesn't require any fast charge tweaks.
Is there a similar Android device in terms of charging speed to iPhone 5? The iPhone 5 never takes more than a couple hours to fully charge, whereas my Galaxy Nexus could be on the charger overnight and not be fully charged in the morning.

I experienced the same thing on both Android phones and iPhones. This is why I quit using 3rd party chargers. I also just started to use AC inverters and it makes a huge difference compared to any normal car charger.
I have a $5 USB car charger that I use with my official lightning cable for my iPhone and it works fine. But my experience with the Galaxy Nexus was with the car charger Verizon sold me with it. I don't like AC inverters as they add noise to the audio output.
This seems to be a common problem.
There are times my Nexus 4 will drop 3% in the 15 minutes it took me from unplugging it to driving to work. Went to bed last night and the battery was at 65%. Woke up and it was completely drained and shut off.
Nexus 7, drains 20% in six hours doing absolutely nothing.
iPad Mini was at 100% in the same six hours doing nothing. My iPad Mini is winning the game and I'm thinking about dumping both Androids and never looking back. I want devices that can last all day when I actually uses them.
I'm very happy with my standby, brightness at full with all bells and whistles activated. Very little screen time as I don't use my phone much at the weekend and this thread is about standby.

How do you do screen shots as in loading them on here? Those are amazing stats. Mine currently 44 percent left with 21 hours.
when you do a quote, on the top line of icons is a paperclip (next to the smily face)
click the paperclip, select chose file and then upload
Thanks for that..
Do you take screens shots the same way you do on the iPhone?
Can you not pick photo's straight from the folder on your phone to post? I use tapatalk and it allows this but appreciate not everyone likes tapatalk.Home and power button at the same time.
I use the photobucket app to send my photo straight to my photobucket account, from there I copy and paste the link into my post.![]()

Oh right I hadn't thought about tapatalk draining the battery. Perhaps I'll kill the app when I've finished as I've found Facebook drains the battery quite a abit when left open in the background. Pesky apps.I suppose I could, but I'm comfortable with the way I do it TBH, I'm not a Tapatalk fan, I uninstalled it because I enjoy the browser better and it used quite a bit of battery.![]()

Thats not shoddy at all.Facebook and Twitter will also use up a fair bit of battery. Nice one.

That's worse than the S3 i used to have, no offense.
Do you use auto brightness or full brightness all the time?
