What do you guys think? Wifi on most of the time as I'm connected to varsity wifi. Location is on and off. Bluetooth off. Mobile radio active seems to drain a lot!

To all the people turning location and mobile data off to save battery life, may I just point out that if your phone is stolen, you'll have no way of remote locking/wiping or tracking it accurately? Conversely, leave those functions open, and Samsung's own phone location app is amazingly accurate and flexible.
When your phone is lost or stolen and you don't know the difference, you're NOT going to be thinking about all the battery life you wasted by keeping those functions active and occasionally pinging back to the server
Yes, there's cellphone insurance and that's all good and well, right up until you read the fine print that your excess will be 20% and upon the first claim your excess will DOUBLE. Crazy.

Issues with my contract, they charged my R2300 because the contract I chose was a downgrade, even though my contract officially ends in 2 weeks, and if I downgrade the day after it expires there's no charge.
This is what turned me off this phone - you guys are all obsessing about battery life - a phone is there to be enjoyed, not to turn this off and that and try and squeeze hours out of a charge. You should be able to leave EVERYTHING on and enjoy the device!
I was running low with all services and connections on
So I pulled out this
And 2 minutes later I am back here

Nope no power saving mode at all. The 2nd attachment is my SOT. If you can't see it it's 3H 15 minutes.

I'm not sure to be honest lol. I find that my battery drains very slowly on standby when on wifi at campus but and I'm pretty much on campus the whole day. When I use mobile data, the mobile radio active sections seems to drains a lot of battery. Other then that I have updated the Samsung push service if that helps. I Haven't installed Facebook yet - I think that will lower my battery.
Wifi on all the time
Wifi always allow scanning - only while wifi is on
Keep wifi on during sleep - always during the day but at home I set it to only when plugged in only
Location seldom on
Location set for high accuracy
Google location history/reporting - off
Bluetooth - off
Smart network switch - off
Brightness - set as auto but the slider is usually at the halfway mark
NOTE: This is the first day it has lasted so long.
Will post an update after tomorrow.

Did you manage to solve this issue? I also have it as my number one battery usage at about 15%

Did you manage to solve the mobile radio active draining battery as well? I also found that once I was on wifi the time on mobile radio active paused and as a result my standby drain was slower.
