Safe to say, avoid SanDisk.

Grats on V4.

Less spams as well.

Discussion:
Wonder how is everyone's batt doing.

Despite GSM Arena rating HTC One's batt to be on par with ours despite the difference in mAh, I find that my phone still usually last longer than my gf's HTC One.

What are the batt saver apps you people are using, if any?

And why?

You may wanna read again. I have no problem with my batt. I'm asking inspects and apps people are using.

As many have suggested, screenshot your screen on time.

You can use GSAM Battery Monitor for this.

That is the most important before we jump to any suggestion on bat saver apps.

GSAM used about 2% of my batt average. And my SOT is usually higher than 4 hours.
Don't think it's a batt sucker. But facebook definitely. Until I greenify it.

My batt stat about week plus ago.

Brightness at auto.

Should prolly mention that I was at 50% when I started playing game that time till 16% then I check batt stats.

LTE.

No. Power Saving on, cpu not ticked.

SOT can't be the sole benchmark also. If you charge everyday, yeah SOT can be a benchmark but like me last week, I didn't even have the time to play around with it. I used for 3 days (2d 23h to be precise) without charge and I reached 20% before I plugged it in yesterday night. But SOT only 2h. If you don't finish draining it everyday, SOT alone can't be the defining factor of batt drain already. WiFi and Data, how little they take, even off screen, after 3 days your batt will still go down.

So what, I was the one with 4h SOT at 16% posts ago, I'm now the one with 2h SOT at 20%. Is that worse? No, I used it for 3 days before I need to charge and I think it's superb. So as long as your batt dont drop like 11% when sleep 8 hours or dont drop 4% 5% when you just screen on for few mins, then your batt is gonna be FINE and it's GOOD being a flagship.

Like steven said, if you compete too much on SoT, you end up using an iPod Touch S4. What's the point? The sole reason ppl are comparing is because there might be apps taking up batt and after comparison, they might find out; not because 4h SOT is the benchmark.

Really? One hardware and lost faith? What are you a boy still dreaming for Santa Claus?

First of all, what is the faulty hardware? How are you sure LG, Sony, Apple, Motorola, HTC will not have the same failure?

I'm not even a fan of Samsung (I'm "still" more of a HTC guy) but these "Samsung sucks" posts are getting more and more and I sometimes think, why do you even buy a Samsung phone without knowing their reputation?

If they are weak in hardware and service, don't get it. They have the best specs? Sucks to be you. I choose specs.

Many (not just you) get a Samsung, use touchwiz and end up saying meh, Android/Samsung sucks because it's so lag, build quality sucks, many problems, bla bla. iPong so good no lag. I used to argue with these people, trying to knock them some sense. But that was 3 years ago. Now, I'll just say, get an iPhone. Don't ever come android.

Yeah you aren't comparing, I'm doing it because after many posts, I decide to reply to yours so don't take it to heart.

My question stands : which hardware is the one having failure that you "lost hope" on Samsung devices?

Well as much as I would agree with you, I cannot start a pitchfork fanboism discussion here.
I don't mind fruit product grows strong really. I don't mind if they finally goes true multitask and start having homescreens. I know I wont buy it, I know I wont give a damn. But if they are to put up a good fight, that's good. Consumers only win in competitions.

When Samsung dominates, there are also fears of it being the next apple. Which I wish it wouldn't happen. And with that, we need competitions.

PS: It's because of fruit, I appreciate desserts.
