For anyone who might be interested (I'm not as detailed as some folks, but it still might be helpful, hopefully):
I unplugged this morning at 8:15 AM at 100% (the night before I had run it down to 0% and plugged it in for a full recharge). I sent a text right then and there, then after a while I checked Twitter, Weatherbug, made my moves in Words With Friends p), then put it down. It was at 97% after all this, I think. Then I launched a few location-based apps and checked my Gmail on Safari. Also checked my email with the Mail app (I have the setting to Manual). Then I was on a 20-minute (ish) text conversation. Checked Pulse news (love that app!) and read a couple stories. After that I took a bunch of photos with the stock Camera app (I think 16 photos). Checked Twitter some more. Didn't have it on Standby/lock (whatever that state is called ) between uses. It's 11:45 AM now and I'm at 84%, which I think is good (for me, anyway!). My usage so far is 1 hour 29 minutes and Standby is 3 hours 30 minutes.
My Brightness is at roughly 33% (I keep the slider right under the "B" in "Brightness") and I have Auto Brightness ON. I have spotlight search off for everything and Ping is set to Off as well.
My swipe to unlock is fine (didn't have a problem with this on 4.3). I think overall the battery is better than 4.3. also, the phone doesn't get as hot as it used to for me. On 4.3, just a few minutes on Twitter would overheat it. But I don't have that now.
