Hello all. This is my first actual help post cause I now have a problem, but I have been lurking for a while.

Anyway, I have a rooted S5 from verizon that had awesome battery life compared to my old nexus - I could hit 2 days with one charge. Anyway, I am now living in Germany, will be here for the next year, and I can get maybe half a day before I hit 30%. It feels like I am back with the nexus, I have to plan my charging around what I will be doing.

My carrier here is Lebara. Under the battery stats Android system and Androud OS dominate usage. I had that under control in the States with some TB tweaking, but it is back with a vengance. I haven't updated the OS and am not planning to until L comes out and is compatible with root.

I am never far from an outlet, but I don't want to return to my old habits of always plugging in.

I just had a thought - is it possible that the different electricity standards here nuked my battery? If this is the case, should I worry about my tablet too?
