Anyone else experiencing poor quality battery life for Samsung Galaxy S4? Or even the battery having issues?

When I got my new samsung s4 I barely was able to get a day out of it. I've had my phone for only ~ 2 months and now I'm experiencing battery problems. Phone turns itself off randomly like it has a flat battery at percents anywhere above 50. I must plug in the charger in order to successfully turn it on again. The battery percent reading is completely wrong. Anyone else's samsung galaxy s4 battery playing up?

Battery level sometimes increases by itself without a charger plugged in: http://i.imgur.com/DQxncXX.jpg

Battery reading of about 50 something %, turns off, and once turned on again it'll read a very low digit: http://i.imgur.com/jXdlJwM.png

    Yes, all users have this problem, there is a bigger 'gold' battery that you can buy from eBay that will last longer.

    My friend had the same issues - she took it into one of those Samsung Experience Stores and they replaced it for her on the spot after seeing the battery graph which looked exactly like yours.
