New M5 battery is draining at fast rate

RF71 — Fri, 25 Mar 2016 05:21:09 GMT

My M5 is only 2 weeks old. I leave my home at 7am with 100% battery. By 6pm, it is about 30%. I surfed the Internet using 3G and/or WiFi now and then in between. I thought M5 battery lasts for a long time? Is there something wrong with my new M5? Thanks.

charge the phone 100% use it as you normally would then once the battery reaches 10%

settings > power management > battery > take screenshots of:

1. the list

2. tap on the graph and take a screenshot

3. back > tap on the top 4 items on the list > take a screenshot of each

post them all here or upload the screenshots to box or dropbox or google drive or etc and post the link

Can you tell if there's something wrong with my battery from these pics? I think that it's pretty poor from 100% to 10% and screen has been open 4 hours or so. Sorry these pics are in Finnish.

@AliceCovers

There's nothing wrong with your phone, just the apps that you use drain the battery fast and the network coverage its quite poor

Ok,I just thought that there was because it has been draining a lot faster than before. And i have not changed the way i use this. Although i play a far less than before. And i have been using energy saving and the screen is always at its dimmest. But well, if thats the case, this devices battery durability **bleep**. Even though it should be good (or is at least advertised to be long lasting).My old samsung lasts longer than this new sony.

And the network coverage was poor cause i was visiting my parents. In my home theres 4G but it still drains the same speed, too soon.

You could charge the phone until its 100% > boot on >>> safe mode for few hours to compare the battery drain.
