I have had this phone for a month now and i absolutely love it.

I've had lots of android phones and this is by far the best.

Brilliant display, easy to use and if you turn all the unneeded (but nice to have) features (Air gesture, smart stay etc) the battery life lasts for a while (With just using things like calls etc it has lasted 2 days)

check your battery using GSMBattery Monitor. Look for apps that prevent your phone from sleeping.

Check your sd card too. There may be some files that corrupt or something like that makes media scanning on the background prevent deep sleep mode.

It is only a minor feature and not so many people are using it.

One of the main demerit is that the S4 dont have radio feature.

battery life is very poor if you use smartstay..airview..airgesture features...build quality is poor and there are glitches in multitasking..prefer htc one

My guess is that you are running the original 7 screens may have ur gps and other features activiated. I fix this daily for customers of my store makes a massive diffrence to the battery life.
On my s4 i get between 2 to 3 days between charging.

And also you have the ext Sd with 64 Gbs, more that enough in my opinion for data, photos, movies, etc...
