vanille — Sun, 16 Oct 2016 09:22:55 GMT

Yesterday, my battery status went from 55 hours left stamina to 20 hours in this morning and I didn't use phone in the night when I was sleeping. Any help with that? I reseted and still showed under 20 hours of life remaining battery. I don't know what else to do.

I've had at like 75 % at the morning and it said it only 20 hours is left, before that morning the battery showed me that it will last 64 or 60 hours at 100%, and at 80% battery about 55 hours.

To be perfectly honest i wouldnt pay much attention to those estimates.....if you get anywhere from 30hrs to say 38hrs on medium to light use that is perfectly normal......tho it all depends on how you use the phone

Yeah I know, but it's totally unusual because it newer showed me before sucha low duration time, at the night I've had like 69 % and in the morning only 68%, just dropped 1 procent and still was showed sucha low duration time. And I didn't even use phone.

And now when I am charing it's at 92% and it only shows 25 hours left, which is almost 1 day, and it's very low. That didn't happened anytime before.

Unless you notice a substantial & sudden deterioration of battery life from your phone i wouldn't worry......if you did i would be looking at a possible 3rd party app being the cause

Well the battery yesterday started little more dropping, but of course of usage facebook, instagram and snapchat, at was getting a little hot, but I didn't dropped so much to be worried about, I also have a low signal in my room, and I think this could also be a little problem for battery to drop.

poor network coverage it's NOT a little battery hog, it's a HUGE deal, settings > about phone > status > signal strength > what do you see?

if you can post screenshots it'll be a lot easier to assist you.

I can't see the pictures until they are approved, what are the pictures of?

charge the phone 100% > use it as you normally would > once it reaches 20% > take screenshots of the battery graph and list of apps

The first one is the singal strenght, the second two are the battery, and it still shows 22 hours, yesterday at 78 % it showed me about 55 hours remaining battery. I will try to take tomorrow the screenshoots.

I can see them now, that's terrible network coverage, let us know when you post the other screenshots.

Could be the problem that bad network, for causing battery remaining so low? I swear I've had yesterday at 100% battery remaining 64 hours, today at 100% only 25 hours.

Yeah, poor network coverage will drain the battery really fast, you could test it

settings > more > mobile networks > access point names > test it in GSM > for an hour > take a screenshot of the battery life > charge it 100% > repeat the test in 4G LTE for an hour > then repeat the test in safe mode.
