I tried nearly every battery saver app...but in the end the best solution was to restore to factory settings and just put the bare minimum apps back on. I went from having to charge halfway through the day...to the battery lasting at least two full days. It's a chore and headache, but worked.

So those unuseful apps were running in the background?
All smartphones suck juice like it's crack. Luckily mine can stay plugged in most of the day as I'm either in the office or in the car. I'd probably just tweak the settings screen brightness/delete unused apps/stop apps from background refreshing etc... or just grab a portable power bank if ya have to be away from a charger.
I don't play games and mostly just talk and text, but I think I have some apps that are likely running in the background because the battery seems to be draining pretty fast. Maybe something that kills those background apps as some have mentioned will do the trick.

Check your service provider apps as I believe my iPhone had a Verizon app that monitored health of phone and let me turn off all that shit. Deleted the app as I'm plugged in most of the day so didn't need to turn anything off but maybe all the major ones Verizon, ATT etc... have a similar app.

I'll check that out. There are apps on their from the provider (Sprint) but I have never played around with them.
Not to be nagging, but that does not say much in terms of how much it helped (no comparison point from before stopping weather).
When i was running the weather in the backgroubd, I never made it through a full day without charging. After uninstalling the weather, I was almost always good until going to sleep. Id say running the weather app in the background alone used up 3-4 hours a day in battery.
Can I make the suggestion of perhaps simply buying a brand new battery? It may not be the cheapest solution, but its possibly the simplest and longest lasting?
I have dumbphone for calls/SMS, and smartphone for apps and all other stuff which cannot be done by dumpphone. That is only way to do it as i find it absurd how you need to charge smartphone every day compared to dumbphone which i charge every 3 weeks.

Turn off notifications for anything you don't need. You can also turn off notifications and background data through the app info. This should close some loops. Other than that use tasker not some bullshit crapware.

I have had many dumbphones, lots of them claim 3 weeks or even 4 weeks time, but I never ever had even 2 weeks out of any dumb phone, even on VERY minimal use (like 2 minutes of calls and 5 sms per week or so).
Everytime I read people saying they get that much I am skeptical.

Well, mine indeed have such duration. I suppose it depend on model. Plus, my dumbphone is actually some sort of limited smartphone, as it have it's own apps and it's own operative system(WISE) .

Every once in a while go into settings, click Device Maintenance then click Optimize. This will close any apps in the background and give you the most battery time. This is for Android only. If you have an Apple too bad.

As far as I understood it closes background apps when there is foreground app opened.
So I assume they reopen all background apps when foregroun app is closed?
Also I read that be careful of picking what aps to close with dura speed, since if you pick an app that is supposed to run in the background you would kill battery because that app will be relaunching itself continuously.
Ah yes indeed lol. But i doubt it can be bought anywhere as it's old model.

Also, smartphone which i have having a good standby performance as well- with power save, loses only 3%-4% on daily bases.
But problem with smartphone, hard to have it on standby without using any of battery consuming apps.
