The official tablet (and other useless electronics) thread!

Auto brightness is a big thing on samsung phones that kill battery. AmOLED or whatever they are called are super bright as is. Your phone should be getting an easy two days brand new after a little optimization. My S5 did. It doesn't now. But that's normal for any phone that's two years old.

S5's were much easier on the batteries. S6's were god awful and the S7 is somewhere in between. That said, I don't really turn anything off or try to optimize anything and I still get a day usually with heavy use and that's heavy screen and data use so big battery drains. I do leave GPS off unless I'm using it. Using GPS and maps will definitely eat some battery.

We just got iPhone 6+'s for work phones. Omg I hate Apple. First, it's the size of my tablet. They gave us a belt clip and I can't sit down in the truck without it digging into me or the seat. The maps is terrible too. Like I just want to scroll along the route to see what the turn is ahead of time but you have to like click something and zoom all the way out. Can't remember if it let me swipe the next turn bar to skip to turns but I don't think it did.

And how do you people live without a back button. Like i know it's Apple and is supposed to be super sleek and sexy but what the hell man. Settings are impossible to navigate and you can't customize shit. Although ours are pretty locked down so maybe some settings are too. They don't really have anything other than a few basic apps and call and stuff. No web browser. I really only use the one app were supposed to but damn I'm glad I didn't listen to my girlfriend when it was time to upgrade.
