Apple needs to step up I'm sorry they got androids lasting two days with heavy usage I hope the iPhone.6 is changes this
I'm not exactly sure what to call this but whenever I'm done with an app I close it out. I don't use LTE, even though it's available and I don't have background app refresh on. Certain things that can be tweaked to help battery life, I've done. Maybe I'll have to turn auto screen brightness off too. Didn't think I'd have to do that anymore.

Is the first weekend I have had my phone being home all day on wifi.
Phone came off the charger around 6AM both days, still have over 80% battery 12 hrs later? With moderate usage
Cellular is really burning up my battery, I always have good coverage
Here's mine currently:
Actually no, I almost NEVER turn on wifi. I only turn it on to upload videos to Dropbox, iCloud backup or do big downloads. I never use bluetooth either. LTE is always turned on, I've never turned that off because I bought a 5S in part for LTE. During the day at work I usually check my email on my computer, simply because I am on the computer, so it often doesn't even hit the phone before I've sent/replied/sent/replied a few times. I also turn it on airplane mode over night because one of my two numbers (one number gets forwarded here for calls) is like 1 number off from one of our children's hospitals, and you only need to be awakened by a panicked parent/grandparent dialing the wrong number at 2am once. The only app that I leave Location Services on for is Find my iPhone. Parallax is off, background app refresh is off. Basically anything that would suck power or be annoying to me is off til I need it with exception to email, texting, phonecalls.I would assume you are almost treating your iPhone as a normal cell phone with a black screen but you are always on WiFi and not even on 2G. That's the only way to achieve the crazy battery life you have.

I posted earlier in the thread about this:::
"I don't play with it all day, I don't use Wifi much, never bluetooth, never location services, never weather or stocks, I turn a lot of stuff off because I don't use/need it. And I turn airplane mode on at bedtime and don't turn my phone on til I leave for or get to work and clean out my inboxes online first."
"Well I don't need "the complete features of an iPhone" to always be turned on. They're there when I need them and then I turn them right back off. I can look out the window to see the weather, so I have no need for a weather app. I almost never use Wifi, unless I have to, I never use Bluetooth, other than when I was on vacation and wanted to sync my fitbit. I have my brightness down at like 20-25% and then autobrightness on. But for me, turning airplane mode on at night is a HUGE battery saver. Anyone that really needs us overnight can get hold of us on another phone number, so my phone is turned to Airplane Mode on purpose. And it makes a world of difference. I have Gmail on Fetch 15 minutes, Google Apps is set for push, Outlook is Push and iCloud Mail is push but I don't use that much."
Usually, I don't screw with it a lot during the day because I have the luxury of being able to access whatever online on my computer. But I know that doesn't work for everyone. I just have no need or interest in a lot of things like weather or stock apps, background app refreshing, and the like.
