There's lots of options on different phones. Many apps are moving towards push notification which saves a lot of battery. I meant to include in the previous post, I usually get about 9-12 hours out of my phone, but it's highly dependent on use. The screen pulls a ton of power. Cell in bad coverage pulls a lot of power. I've rarely felt like my phone didn't get me through the day. -m --
