The iPhone 5 is the worst phone I have ever owned.

Actually it's also the LTE. On an Android phone you can actually see the breakdown of the power consumption. Right now I am not in an LTE area, so the phone defaults to 3G - so I can't show you the stats. But when I am in the city, LTE is a major battery drain, even more than the screen.
A week ago I went on a bike ride with a friend. He was toting his brand new i5. Both of us stopped frequently and used maps to check our route. By the end of the 4 hour ride, his phone was at 17% and in the red zone. Mine still had 70% power, thanks to the larger battery and a number of power saving features I had implemented. He had to borrow my phone to call his wife
Well, if anybody else wants to get rid of their iPhone 5, I'll buy it. Or, if anybody is able to help me get one, that'll work also
Thanks!

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are battery life killers for all phones. My 4s' can go 3 days with these off.
---TIP: Turn your phone OFF when not really needing it. :b
Mine can go for two-three months with only one charge! ...No kidding either.

I had to charge my phone twice today. No GPS, just a couple of hours of WiFi and
Zero phone calls. Just texts.
Something's wrong, Andre. I have the 4s and I use mine for biz...which means on a heavy day I get multiple calls an hour. I always go at least 8 hours before needing a charge and sometimes more.
Young man, Go ye to the Apple store and talk to a Genius at the Bar.
Looks like Andre spent two hours streaming videos.
-----Yup, that'll decharge a battery in no time!
* Andre, what kind of videos, porns in 3D?

Haha. Actually I have had the phone a week and in have not watched a single
Vid. I should have gotten the new Droid M.
Battery life on all smartphones is frustratingly short. And on some days, like yesterday, it only got me through half of a day before the battery warning screen came on. In fairness, I should say the phone was being used for 4 hours non-stop using a note-taking app. It made me realize that a second battery is a must for me.
