You could try out apps like juice defender. It disables your data connection and enables it every 30 minutes for example, to update whatsapp etc. When I am at home, I use our WiFi network. My play has the best battery life of all my friends phones and I'm a heavy user, playing a lot of games and using the internet too.

Juice defender is a great app, but unfortunately it was interfering with my Words With Friends notifications too frequently lol.

For some reason, I'm kinda adamant that juice defender doesn't really help but I've done no test to prove that. I just kinda feel that way.

It really does! It turns on my data every 30 minutes and I really got an improvement of my batterylife. Why would I need data, when listening to music for example? Just try it out

You need to try the ultimate version. You can select what happens on specific apps. So apps that dont use the internet, the data will be disabled whilst playing them

Also, you can set it to automatically turn data on/off depending on your location so you connect to wifi at home ect

I find it very useful

Thanks for the advices. I'm gonna test Juice Defender. Sounds good, as you don't need data during class
