    Switched to Power Saver today to compare. Pretty damn impressed. My usage was the same as usual. Music playing all day. Texting. Tacomaworld. Usually have to plug it in before I even leave work.

    Yeah power save works great. I use the Ultimate power save when I go to the cabin and get about 17 days of battery life.

    Power save doesn't work very well on the Note 3. Maybe it's different with Lollipop. My battery life sucks after a year and half of charging.

    This is why I root and rom all my phones. I can get the same battery life without using power saving once I have control of what is running on the phone. My note 2 battery life was 2 day with normal use, 1 day with heavy use, and 4 days with powersave.

    My note 4 is 1 day heavy use, 1.5 days normal use, 3 days light use, 5 days power save, 17+ days U-power save.

    Stock, too much unneeded bullshit running in the background.

    S6 is already rootable, Note 4 STILL fucking waiting.....

    Yeah you have no clue how much anger lives inside of me at Verizon. Honestly was the worst choice I've ever made with a cell phone was to move over to Verizon.

    Coverage sucks ass. Any restaurant I go into I get almost no internet access.
    They ripped us off and tried to swing us into a 2 year contract for a 'free tablet'
    Their customer service is bullshit
    Their stores are even worse
    They cost more than everyone else right now
    And they lock down their flag ship phones for no fucking reason.

    I was with sprint 11 years, only issue I had was I never got 4g. So I left. Biggest mistake ever. I'll be ditching Verizon as soon as humanly possible.

    I've been a Verizon customer for at least 12 years now.. with no complaints regarding coverage. I get great coverage.. I don't think you'll find better coverage.. to say it sucks.. idk about that. That's why you changed over anyways right?

    That being said... Their customer service can suck a big fat ****..

    I purchased my S6 from best buy after fighting with 2 different verizon stores and employee's. I had the best phone buying experience there. I will never step foot in a Verizon store again.

    Only issue I ever had with Sprint was no 4g. Tiff and I were both at some restaurant and both of our phones had 0 internet. The other 2 people on T-Mobile had great signal and 4g. Tiff and I have very different phones as well. My iPhone6 (on Verizon) was also not getting any internet so I know its not the phones fault.

    And this has happened at 2-3 different locations so far. I may have never had 4g with Sprint but at least I had 3g everywhere.

    Call wise its fine and I haven't had any dead zones yet.

    The Verizon stores are horrible. I don't understand why all of them suck. Best buy is the place to go.

    I love my Note 2. I use it as my media player and a few other things. It gets about 5-6 days standby time because the battery is almost toast.
