    I've got a galaxy s3. The battery last a couple of days under normal use. I play a lot of soduko and gin rummy with no problems. Bejeweled 2, however, uses about 10% battery in 30/45 minutes. not that it matters, just curious. I could understand if it were a driving simulator or first person shooter. bejeweled don't seem too be graphic nor CPU intensive.

    My phone is the New Motorola XT that they hype for battery life, and I have yet to hit the 36 hour life they hype, although it does hold in there better than any other phone I have used (it better you cannot swap batteries).

    Pretty much anything that needs the massive display screen just sucks up the battery.

    mine will last 36 hours under normal use. Calls, messages, most games. Unless I need it, GPS and WiFi, stay turned off. But for some reason, bejewled 2 eats the battery. Like I said, it don't matter, just curious.

    From what I can tell, I'd say don't play Bejeweled 2 and you should see an improvement.

    I hope this helps. :jester:

    I have the Motorola droid Razr Maxx HD, I have tried my darnedest to get down to 10% in a day watching videos for hours and running facebook, multiple forums are being ran through Tapatalk/Auto Guide/And others, Instagram, Twitter, and Whatsapp.

    Love this phone. They have yet to make a phone that will run flawlessly and have superior battery life! There isn't one yet from Apple or for Android. But I am sure there will be better to come soon.

    Maybe not the S4 though....
