    Cell phones and battery life. What do you have? Are you a big timer?

    I had an HTC One M7 and now I have a Samsung Galaxy S5. Am I happy with it? So far, I am not. I had to call my cell phone provider because my HTC One had hardware issues. The Galaxy was the only replacement. I don't like the Galaxy because the battery life dies out halfway through my day. I want to get the HTC One M8, I don't know who has had better luck with a phone that the battery last for a good amount of time even while using the internet and apps. My Samsung starts to heat up too after 3 minutes of use. This sucks because if I'm low on battery and I need to make a last minute play on my phone, I need my battery to allow me to reach my degenerate goals.



    Mods: Please allow a good amount of time for posters to respond before moving this to a place where nobody visits. Please....

    6s plus as well. On it quite a bit and use quite a few apps that drain the battery but still lasts the day and night.

    I got a note 5 and I put one of those zero lemon battery case on it. My phone is basically a brick now but it will last for days before dying.

    How do you guys carry the 6S plus? Isn't it too big to fit in your pocket? Seems like carrying a mini iPad around to talk on.

    Opie you have your secretary carry that bad boy for ya

    but jokes aside, it fits perfectly in your front or back pocket

    what I don't like about this size tho is that it's extremely hard to type with one hand

    you really gotta have have a pretty flexible thumb...if you catch my drift

    Yeah it fits fine in my front pocket. Don't like keeping it in my back pocket though. I've adjusted to one hand texting but its tough. Once you get adjusted to the screen size using any other phone especially the iphone 5, your hand will feel massive.

    I have been dealing with the fact that the iPhone can break easily due to it's fragile glass screen. I see street guys post a table, tools, umbrella, a water bottle and call it their office waiting for people to walk by with broken screen iPhones in order to repair. So, I'm trying to stay out of it.

    I'm interested in Droid phones.

    Xiaomi MI4 until now, looking for a new one

    You guys should look into the chinese market, they are coming in full force.
    Since they stopped faking cell phones and started companies on their own, they are doing great things.

    Galaxy S5, battery lasts about 36 hours.

    EDIT: just looked and it's been 13 hours on battery and says I have 17 hours left (based on usage over past 7 days)
    So I lied and it's 30, but I could probably stretch it to 36 if I turn on power saver.

    I have a Blackberry Priv. Got it the day it came out. Awesome phone and very underrated. Has full android capabilities and apps and is perfect for work related items. Battery lasts all day without issue and I am a heavy phone user.
