People get 5+ hours of screen time by having odd configurations that would diminish the purpose of even having a phone.

I'm curious, are you finding yourself in a situation where you're needing over 4hrs of screen on time?

I mean I get it! I'm not trying to poke fun at him or anyone trying to get as much battery life of their phones as possible. I'm just curious as to why the obsession if you don't need it.
Hell, I'm guilty of something similiar... every HTC One I get my hands on, I go to MYHOIAN's ebay site and try to get it SIM unlocked. Why? I'm not travelling overseas any time soon or jumping GSM carriers here in the States. ... I just want it unlocked! And... $3.50, really, can't beat that price.
Yea me to buddy wish we didn't have to worry about unlocking and batteryife that be a perfect world

I have a T-Mobile phone so it does have a Wi-fi calling for home.
If I do use the phone it is with the WCDMA only... This was with heavy internet usage for work purposes with email sending. Also taking an average of 150+ Photos.

I got my phone on the weekend, and finally hit 5 hours for the first time yesterday. I was playing music, browsing the internet, using WiFi and mobile data, and played a game for a little while. I almost didn't believe it when I saw it. I am very satisfied.
I think the app that got me there was Lux. It's a smart-dimming app that adjusts your screen brightness. You can also set what % you want your screen at for certain background light levels. I really like it.
Anyway, can't think of anything else I did to get that result. Much much much better than the One X.

Like the other user said, people do crazy things to keep their phone alive but rendering a smartphone useless.
Makes no sense to disabled data, sync, and other features of a smartphone

I have a question about Wi-Fi calling too. Does it save battery compared to not using it?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
I don't know how you're not getting such screen on time, to be honest. It's obviously dependant on what your usage is like while using your phone.
With me on stock kernel, if I'm just browsing around XDA or the internet I'll get around 8 hours screen on time (at least from how long it seems. I haven't confirmed and actual length of time so it could be less or more). Whereas if I'm playing Shadowgun Deadzone constantly, I can still get around 5 hours screen on time with 4 hours constant play of it.
If I remember, I'll get some actual proof of my stats over the next few days.
Dont worry about it. Even I get about 4 hours only. This is with 25% backlight indoors and 75% outdoors and heavy regular use. We dont have wifi calling or anything like that here. It is on 3G HSPA+ network and I get just above 4 hours of on screen time till battery goes below 10%. Lot of people disable lots of stuff like automatic syncing and turn the brightness all the way down. I dont do any of that. My gmail, twitter, drive, G+, Pulse, Hangout are all running in background syncing and doing their stuff (the only thing I have done is to tell G+ to upload only on wifi ).
7hrs screen time is easily achievable on this phone with 12hrs + uptime.
Theres a dedicated thread on this already if u wanna go read how guys are setting their phones for this.
My use is as follows to get 7hrs...
*Wifi only browsing (no mobile data)
*Auto brightness during the day and low at night.
*Eliminate as much wakelocks as possible by not using auto syncs in apps etc.
*I'm rooted so i use "Greenify" to make sure apps go into hibernation after I close them.
*I use Titanium backup to freeze bloat ware I don't use.
Apps such as Skype, Facebook, Viber etc etc are Known drainers so keep an eye on them if u use them.
There prob more that I can't think if right now but with the above set up, you will easily get between 5-8 hours screen on time.

I have disabled HTC Sense sync for about 2 weeks now and found the battery last much longer. I suspect this service drains so much power because it takes more than 10 minutes to complete.
If your battery drains abnormally, you may like to disable and see if it helps.

Bought my vivid a few weeks ago and was annoyed by the battery life so I downloaded and used juice defender on aggressive setting. Well I actually had worse battery life with that and so I uninstalled it. Ever since then I've Bern having an issue where my WiFi disconnects when the screen is off for more then about ten minutes. I know that's kind of what juice defender does. Does anyone know what's going on? It gets really annoying. It's running everything stock. Please help!

Go into the wifisetting hit menu, change the wifi sleep policy to never....that will stop wifi from going to sleep, on the battery issue, I also just bought a vivid and having a nightmare with the battery.
Right now I manually set my brightness to low, disabled autobrightness and my battery has yet to drop...2% every 5 mins like it used to...

I have no idea what you guys do with your phones to complain about battery life...
Im in an LTE and use my phone moderately heavy - my phone gets my through the day (about 12 hours) no problem...and I can't complain with that
You gotta remember our phones are pretty much tiny laptops. Laptops only have about 4-6 hour battery life's...sure they're a lot bigger so they consume more power...but they also have a much larger battery...so when you scale it down to vivid size, battery life is on par with what a laptop would be
Just food for thought...my work break is over...so back to work for me :/

Airplane mode (I dont care what anyone says) has ALWAYS killed my battery. Try not using it... Might help. I get about 8-12 hour days on my phone and i use it constantly. using data and syncing and playing games... Just gotta set your phone up right
I could always average 12-15 hours with average use. That would consist of snapchatting, temple run, and twitter, I don't know how you would only get 4 hours...

i barely, and i mean BARELY make it through school if i do that. Im pretty sure i have a bad battery though, just dont feel like returning my phone to stock and stuff just so they can look at it. but a bit of temple run is okay for me, but Angry Birds Star Wars hits my battery alot harder. And Black Ops Zombies murders it. even though the controls suck. but yeah black ops zombies is a 3D game
Do you have it currently installed? Because it constantly runs in the background killing your battery.... when I had my phone would last 6 hours till it died. Might be your problem

Mine is hit or miss, doing the same things with the phone at the same places every day, some days it is decent and I will have 40-50% left when I get home, other days (like today) it was almost totally dead. That's with sync and wifi on, but location turned off. Its decent, but far from great IMO.
The battery life is WAY better than my wife's Nexus 5, but it is garbage compared to my international Note 2 I was using previously. I'd have 70-80% left when I got got home doing the same stuff as I am with the S5, plus I would leave Bluetooth, wifi, sync, location, and GPS on all the time.

Holding up much better than my S4 which I returned as I could barely get it to go 3/4 of a day without dying with normal usage. Now I end the day with at least 30% left. Also outperforming my iPhone 5S which would be close to dead by the end of the day. Very impressed!
great battery
I had an S3 before. When left alone at night, I can see phone 'Awake' numerous times. As viewed from Battery settings.
Except Gmail, I had sync disabled on every app. I also had most of the apps greenified. Still phone wakes up numerous times at night when not in use.
With S5, I have installed all the apps I had on S3. I have configured only few of them. None of them are greenified now. Also, I have left more apps to sync in background. Previous night, in the 9 hrs I left it alone, it woke only 2 times. Thats really good. In that 9 idle hours, battery dropped only 4%.
Battery is similar to the m8 (very good)... I'm thinking I'm going to have to return the htc

I'm really not getting very good battery life at all. I am shocked when I hear of others getting 5+ hours of screen on time. I'm getting nowhere near that and unfortunately for me I'm on my phone all day for work (calls, emails, etc.) because I work from home. This is also my 2nd SGS5. The first was having major screen issues and the capacitive buttons stopped lighting up for some reason.

Have you disabled all of the built in apps you aren't using? Try to cycle your battery. Go on your Google account and disable sync on thin you don't need. Or call ATT and ask for a replacement under warranty maybe your battery is bad. They are very good when it comes to warranty exchanges. Best of luck.

Fantastic battery life so far. Since unplugging it from the charger Wednesday morning, my battery is at 86% this morning! I do have the power saving mode on (not the ultra power saving mode, the regular one), and don't use it a whole lot during the day (not for hours on end at least, just a few minutes here and there)
Better battery life that I was getting on my S4.
I average about 5-6 hours screen time every day no matter if on WiFi or data.... I bet I could crack 7 if I was on Wi-Fi the whole time but yeah, coming from the nexus 5, this thing kicks the crap out of it in battery department
