Yeah I read on here about people getting 6-8 hours of battery life and 24-26 hours of standby thought something was wrong.

Do not believe what some say here. Many have been known to "stretch" the truth which does no one any good here. it only causes battery envy!
 
You all from different countries have great battery life.

Good signal strengths too.
 
I'm just saying that 25% isn't comfortable for me. But do what you gotta do. Because I still am getting 7+ hours usage 1 day stand by on 45% brightness.

Agree with TM WAZZA.....

Some of the members have to realize, before jumping on someone and calling it BS, our eyes are different and many that are comfortable with 25% will not for others. Please try to refrain from bad mouthing others. I for one need at least 49+% setting to enjoy the screen. I read one post that someone turned it down to 0% and said it was enough, but that seemed way off, but how would I know, my eye sight is different.

;)
 
Aside from that, forcing 25% brightness should not be needed to extend battery life anyway.

I personally don't really have issues, but after jailbreaking my phone, tweaks like Depersist Wifi really helped increase my battery life.
 
My advice: a battery case. It protects the phone, provides a full day's power pretty much no matter what you do, and you can always remove it if you need to make you phone slim.

I use the Mophie JuicePack Air and I am very satisfied with it. No doubt other battery cases are also as good.
