I've gotten around 4.5 hours with 20% left. Most days when I plug in I'm at 13-14 hours total with 2.5 hours screen time and I'm still around 45% left. I keep wifi on always, GPS and all location features on always, and I have the weather widget and flipboard updating hourly, plus all the google stuff syncing.
I LOVE the battery life on this thing, especially compared to my Galaxy Nexus. That damn thing lost 10% if you looked at it wrong. And if you were under 50% it was like the battery went into hyperdrive drain mode.
Faulty battery/faulty deviceThis is yesterday's. Usage was slightly higher than normal due to travel (4G and light map use). But, seriously, 1.5hr?
Currently running the i9505 ROM Foxhound. Its super smooth (more so than any TW ROM I have found) and the theme is almost perfect.
There's no pure AOSP build yet. I'm guessing that will come as a transfer from the Google Edition.my Verizon S4 finally got placed in my hands today.
do I have options if I'm thinking about rooting (to uninstall all that preloaded bloatware) or getting a pure, stock android OS on there?

There *are* AOSP-based ROMs already. Not sure what issues they may have. There are also three TW-based ROMs from S3 developers (Hyperdrive, Beans, and CleanROM) as well as some other debloat packages.
If you want to use Wallet, make sure whatever you pick doesn't interfere with the Xposed framework or its installer.
My advice: root and install a custom recovery as soon as you make sure there aren't hardware issues with your device. You don't want Verizon to push an OTA that locks out the bootloader exploit or the root method.
thanks.
rooted easily enough, any recommendations on a custom recovery before I go nuts uninstalling on the Verizon bloatware?
what's everyone using for flash storage? I gotta get that sorted out before I get too into setting up backups and flashing.
thought about buying this 64gb Samsung card, but may go for a 32gb card instead. I don't think I'd come anywhere close to needing that much storage space just for backups, apps, photos, and MP3's.
1080P recorded video takes up A LOT of space.
