I had same issue, apple replaced phone 4me. Also try turning off wifi or lte when your not using them. Also try to only charge your phone when it's rly low, and charge it till its 100%, not 95%
You are saying that you have no issues with your battery, meanwhile you are taking all these precautions to ensure that it lasts as long as possible.  Wouldnt you rather a phone with a battery that lasts all day without any of these precautions? And if by chance you use up the battery you can just swap it out with a second?
I know you are saying that its not the end of the world to not have a replaceable battery but all these precautions sound like a real pita.

I'd like a phone with a battery that lasts as long as my Nokia 3310. The day they can do that, I'll be a very happy camper.

Your nokia 3310 did not need all the juice that any current smartphone does...

Obviously... But I'm hoping they will be able to figure it out eventually ..sooner than later. And at a good price!

I dont see that happening, at least not for a long time.   The old blackberrys (no phone) would last for a week with heavy use.

So how did a thread about the galaxy SIV turn into a discussion of iPhone battery life? :P

talking about battery....

http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19736_7-57574474-251/samsung-galaxy-s4-offers-optional-wireless-charging/

Can't understand why they didn't make it standard.... Lumia 920 has that already as well...

You would pay $100 just to wirelessly charge your phone?

No  ::) but you see how the technology advances... I can bet you another 9-12 months and you'll have that for cheap and integrated into purses, bag packs, suitcases, cars, or even on the street...

Honestly looking at all the features and phones out there I'd say the Lumia 920 is still ahead of the game. It's running a less popular OS, Windows but otherwise...

I dunno. Palm Pre launched with it and here we are 4 years later and it's not widespread.

precautions? It's how you get optimal performance out of ANY (cell phone) battery

I've dropped my S3 multiple times and it never cracked. I have Seidio active case and Spigen Flex HD screen protector.  Solid.
dont know, i have also dropped my s3 many times BUT just recently i noticed that the top right of the screen is cracked (spiderweb style) and a line crack down the entire screen i have a http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008D4XA16/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
which supposedly is a very heavy duty case, no luck. As well i just remembered both my sister in law and brother in law had their screens spiderwebed also.

they have them already in the Toyota Avalon, and I'm sure some more.
