iphone maps suck. Google maps is way better. Apple also sucks because they are not open source like android phones. iphone does not have adobe flash either, which is absolutely lame. I went from a galaxy S2 to the Iphone 4 and wish I never did, But I will agree that the iphone battery life is much better on the iphone.

If your only issue is battery life, get an extended battery and make sure your battery is calibrated. There are android apps out there that will calibrate your battery. With a calibrated extended battery, I get 2-3 days of battery life with heavy usage. The app I use is simply called "battery calibration"

When the privacy policy and advertising terms come up hit close all time, NOT OK.

I would try the battery calibration first to see if it improves your battery woes before going with a new phone. Then consider an extended battery.

thanks for that, HUGE increase in discharge performance on a year and half old battery and phone is very rarely off.

Tech buddy feedback. He loves rooting his phones etc.

Might be about a different pgm, but take care on ad questions, and tech instructions.

"I don’t use it. I tried one of these apps before and unless you follow the directions exactly and constantly redo the calibration process, your phone will be out of calibration and it will be a pain it get it calibrated again. For example when I screwed up my phone with this type of app it would stop charging at 95% and die at like 5 percent. I had to factory reset to fix it."
