    Do you honestly think you will get longer battery life if you charge the battery when it reaches 10% opposed to charging it at 50% or 1%? Is this documented or proven anywhere? If so share that link or info.

    Lastly do you use the power saving feature on your S5?

          I have done most of what you have. I turned off the lights from the keys. However, I use manually brightness most of the time because I have found out the battery lasts longer that way. Auto-brightness uses the light sensor to determine what level of light to use...so in fact that will consume a bit more power. You probably get your 3 days due to you not really having much apps. I have around 20 apps and as you know most of them run in the background whether you are using them or not...and whether you are online or not/. On average I get close to 2 days or 2 days plus.

            AnonD-1385, 25 Jul 2015To IJAZ.ALI: What type of optimisation do you do exactly to get 3 days backup?To Original-Jamaican:

            My s5 brightness is on auto brightness mode so that helps a lot to save the battery.
            beside that i havnt lot of apps installed, specially games , truth is i m not very much fond of playing games on cell phone.
            also i depends on usage, my uses usally are some text messaging, whatsapp, camera use.
            also i turned off the touch keys light.so that also helps alot ;)

                  Hi I have problem with the battery that drains ao fast. I executed factory reset as told the problem is still persistent. I'm about to buy a new battery however i'm afraid that this current battery is okay and by acquiring a new one won't solve the solution
