Just got the S4, seems like the battery drains faster than I think it should any ideas or helpful hints? What is an average user's battery life for this device? I did turn off the GPS to see if that helps...now I have a pop up stating unable to update my location...how do I get that to stop popping up?

The the typical battery life is 11-12 hours with regular usage and 8-9 hours with heavier usage. I hope this helps. Have a great day.

You get the message because you turned off the GPS. GPS only uses the battery when you use it.
You could have app that is syncing far too often. Or maybe at work your device goes back and forth between 3G and 4G , that will kill a battery quickly My S4 lasts the day no problem.
You could try to place the device in safe mode for a day and see if the battery life improves. if so, then it is an app issue.
1. Switch off your phone completely.
2. Power it on again.
3. Now continuously keep pressing the left key.
4. Keep pressing the key until the boot is complete and the home screen appears.
