Anybody have suggestions on how to improve my battery life and how to use better battery stats effectively? Thank you!

If you are not using or need to have 3G/4G on, it will greatly improve battery life if you shut it off. It is easily accessed from the quick settings by clicking on the box that says Sprint and shows how many bars you have. There is a toggle at the top of the bandwidth useage screen that pops up. Using WiFi whenever possible also helps.
I have recently shut off my Sprint service and have been using a T-Mobile hot spot to connect my phone when away from WiFi. Talkatone works OK through the hotspot and I am able to disable the cell radios so battery life is epic, not to mention my bill is now 1/5 of what I was paying on Sprint. Data speeds are also much improved since we do have Sprint's 4G LTE yet. I have only been using this system for a few days and it seems to be working out OK so far.
