1020 battery drain after WP 8,1 installed...

So, why is this happening? Fully charged the battery is down to 70% after a few hours without doin anyhting...before it stayed on 100% for several hours before it turned 99%....
Its not the only thing bad with the new WP 8,1...but nobody seem to care anymore....

Maybe its the GPS checking position more often? I often see that symbol appearing...but there are no settings for GPS sync.
Other things is when I talk..people complaing Im dissapearing...and I see the phone jumps to "H" from "4G" even though I have full signal on 4G almost always here in Stockholm...and same thing happen on different places..not only at home.
And there is a glitch while scrolling text slowly for ex when reading a document, email or sms...the phone do some kind of refresh somewhere making me loose where Im in the text and have to lift finger and start scroll/drag the text again...but it only jumps about one textline...very annoying!
And the new marker for editing a misspell is horrific...have to tap the screen several times to get it in position...and mostly it forst mark a whole word..before I just put my thumb near the misspell and waitid one sec and then draged it into postion at once...now there is very complicated and I sometime rather write the whole word on 10 letters than try to fix only one letter....
And still other stupid things about the WP is still there in 8,1.....like this soundglitch playing music or a video and you tap the length meter a loud noice appear before sound srtarts again...its like its max volume by default and the program take a fraction of a secound to adjust it to current user setting...this do not happen when headphones is plugged in...
Whanna hear more stupid things?.

  • Enormous battery drain after 3.01 upgrade

    guys and gals,
    anyone of you experiencing a huge spike in battery drain after upgrading to firmware 3.01? On 3.0 my iphone 3gs had no probs but after my upgrade last night he ran out of juice within a few hours while I was sleeping. This morning I recharged it but an hour later the phone is allready down to 80% and feeling warm. I guess there is something running in the background but I cant figure out what. Turning the phone on/off doesnt seem to do a thing. Any ideas or personal experiences?

    I did what you said in your 2nd post, and recharged the battery. after 6 hours, it was the charge was still at 100%!
    then I used an app, IM+ Push for a few minutes and had disabled the Push functionality before quitting it. after an hour, I noticed that the battery issue was back. so deleted the said app, and the battery levels returned to normal.
    This evening I re-installed the app, disabled the push functionality again and made sure to set my IM account to off before quitting. the problem hasn't re-occurred since then.
    hope that this helps someone else who's having the same issue.

  • Heavy Battery Drain after updating to 8.1 Lumia Cy...

    After updating my Lumia 1520 to 8.1 Cyan update, the battery drain is very high. The battery is lasting only for 6 to 7 hours when the data traffic is on  (under  mixed use of 2G and 3G modes). I have noticed few other users were also experiencing heavy battery drain after the Cyan update.
    Will there be an update to fix this battery drain issue?
    When the phone was in WP 8 Lumia Black update, battery backup was around 24-30 hrs (when data traffic was on).
    What will be the workaround for this?
    Moderator's note: We have provided a subject-related title to help other forum users easily view and respond to this post.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Yep, my 1520 battery drains like a helicopter that's lost it's rotor after this 8.1 update.
    I was just boasting last weekend how awesome the battery life was on this phone, I drove 300mi with the GPS w/navigation, did some tethering to my laptop for work, went overnight..no charging, used lightly all the next day, few pictures, email, browsing, phone calls, and drove 300mi back on GPS/navigation and I still had 38% battery left.
    I updated to 8.1 sunday night, and on my normal commute to a customer in another state, which under 8.0 would have drained oh...mabey 4-5%, I was at 62% by the time I got to this customer yesteday.
    All I did was make a phone call, that's it. All background stuff is not allowed. location off, cortana off, ...still drains.
    Bad bad bad news. I'm not seeing much usefull ness out of 8.1, and considering the battery life and no real new features....just gimmicks if you ask me, I'm not sure I want to stay at 8.1 . I'm trying to give it a chance...battery life is still better than my POS samsung androids I've had in the past, but knowing how good it really can be...and no real features in 8.1 (I was hopeing they'd fix the imap email not allowed to map sent/trash/inbox issue)....eshh...what a mess it seems.

  • Battery drain after update to 10.2

    i noticed high battery drain after i have updated to 10.2. i charged phone to 100% yesterday at 16:00 and now 17h later it is 61%. - i wrote 4 sms'es, 1 short phone call, and that's all. i tried restart few times, checked out if network settings are same as before, nothing helps.
    battery application is estimating discharging speed at level of 1% every 24 min. before at the same usage it was at least 50 mins. i heard 10.2 has better battery efficiency, but not for me. anyone has similar experiences after update?

    Double check that your Network settings are how you want them as after an upgrade they have a habit of changing.
    On my Verizon phone it redefaulted to Global which really burned my battery instead of limiting it to LTE/CDMA, once I changed it back battery life was back (or better) than previously.

  • Battery drains after upgraded to ios5

    battery drains after upgraded to ios5 my iphone4

    With iOS 5.0 battery life was terriable. Apple quickly fixed it with 5.01.  Now with 5.1 battery life is back to terrible.  I could go at least two days without a charge.  After the update (and all my patterns and behaviors being the same), I don't even get a full day!  Apple needs to fix this! Or allow us to go back to iOS 5.01.

  • Rapid battery drain after Mavericks Install

    Hey everyone,
    I've spent a lot of time reviewing the existing threads and haven't been able to pinpoint a solution to my issue. I upgraded my late 2008 MacBook Aluminum 2.4 GHZ to Mavericks, and noticed considerable battery drain. I made an appointment at the Apple Store to do a clean install of Mavericks, and this seemed to help but as I installed software required to access internet at school (SafeConnect, AnyConnect VPN, Avast) my battery life has gone down again. Also, the battery drains when the computer is supposed to be in sleep mode. I have a new battery on board (127 cycles, my cycle count has increased a lot due to this battery drain issue). Does anyone have an idea of what could be the offending software and provide me potential alternatives?
    Some numbers for reference: With Snow Leopard I have 3.5 hrs of battery life, and after my initial clean install I had 3.5 hrs of battery life (so no improvement, but no worse performance either..). Now I am lucky to make 2 hrs with a full charge.

    Avast is garbage. Uninstall it according to its instructions. Avast's uninstaller will remove it completely.
    If your school requires you to use Avast you will just have to tolerate its detrimental effects on your Mac's performance and battery life.

  • Battery drain after installing IOS7 on Iphone 4

    Hi
    I have recently installed IOS7 on my IPhone 4.
    The battery drains really quickly even when I am not doing anything with the phone. I never had these problem before updating.
    Suggestions please???
    Thanks

    I have also noticed what appears to be decreased battery life after the upgrade, though not this bad.  Seems many people are noticing problems. 
    I noticed and changed a couple of settings that seem to have helped.
    - first, fully shut off the phone and then turn it back on - i read online this helped some, immediately after the update.
    - in mail settings, for the icloud account (I dont use this but it was configured by default) check the sync settings . it defaults to push, which takes more power.  you might want to disable push and set to fetch for this and any other accounts you have, for additional power savings
    - in settings, location services, scroll to the bottom and tap system services : All of them are defaulted to on.  I turned off location-based iads and setting time zone since i dont need those. (I also opted out of the diagnostics and usage as part of the setup, but it was set to on in this screen - i left it on for the time)
    - also in settings -- location settings:  check the list of apps and verify that only the ones you want, are enabled
    These few settings seem to have improved things

  • Nokia 1020 battery drain rates.. mine typical?

    I recently got the 1020.. i've installed a battery app.. at one point, post a MS update that i got through dev channels, had issues with massive battery drain.. around 20 percent per hour.. 
    So i reset the phone to factory defaults, per some threads around here.. also tried running with very few apps.. saw around 3.5 percent per hour after that, at least till i put some apps back on it..
    This is with wifi, bluetooth and lte on.
    My usage throughout the day is minimal.. no videos typically.. just web page hits or email checks or message checks etc.. i turn the phone "off" / standby when not in use typically.. maybe have it on say 45 minutes out of the day without turning it off.. and the rest here and there for email checking.
    A few days in row.. start off with 100% around 9am.. by 515 its at 38-40%.. (the recharge rate varies between 25-40%, depending on which recharger i'm using.. i have usb charge ports for the wall.. some are 1 amp, some 2.. not sure this matters on charging)..
    Right now i checked the phone.. it shows a 6.8 percent discharge rate.. i really havent seen anything below 5 in awhile now.. it can peak at 11-14 when doing a mix of web/videos etc for 15 minutes.
    I do have 2 active tiles and a lot of things pinned.. maybe three swipes worth to get to the bottom if that..
    Can anyone comment on their discharge rates.. does this sound normal.. thinking maybe swapping it at the store if they have them there, before my 30 days runs out.. not sure if nokia warranty goes beyond that or not and i'm guessing no advanced replacement if needed.
    Thanks in advance

    I have a Lumia 920 that is out of warranty, and has been having battery issues for quite a while. I have to add, my phone is developer unlocked. My phone currently dischrages about 20% per hour, or so it says. I restart the phone, and my battery level goes back up, and basic math tells me it is really discharging less than 2% per hour. I have to reset the phone about three or four times a day. Since it is developer unlocked, I wrote an app using the battery API. There are only a few items you can return from the battery API, the ESTIMATED battery % remaining, and the ESTIMATED time remaining. There is also an event that is supposed to fire when the battery % drops 1%. If you don't understand programming, and event is something that happens in code that when it does happen, you can write code to execute when that event happens. So in my app, I can clearly see the battery % drop, the time drop, but the EVENT never fires. I have had battery apps installed, and they mimick the same results I am getting. Also, they never update the battery remaining % or time on live tiles, which tells me the event is not firing in their code either. I have an open discussion in Windows Phone developer forums about this. I just got a 1520, and am going to try and side load the app without developer unlocking the phone to see if the same behavior occurs. Since my phone is out of warranty, I also tried a new battery, but same behavior. I'm pretty sure this is not a hardware issue, but a software issue, at least in my case. When your battery runs down, have you tired rebooting your phone to see if the battery level comes back up?

  • Massive Battery Drain After Mavericks Upgrade on 11" 2013 MacBook Air?

    I got my Air about month before Mavericks came out and the battery life was amazing on it. I was easily getting 14-10 hours of life using Chrome and Air Mail App, along with Power Point and MS Word. After the upgrade to Mavericks, it was slow but I started to notice that my battery life during classes was draining so much faster than before and I had not added anything 3rd party software, just the upgrade. I am now down to about 3.5 - 4.5 hours of battery life doing about the same things as before the upgrade. I did a couple of apps and I added (Sims 3 game). However, I have yet to touch it because of the diminished battery life.
    I have included a copy of my Etrecheck, can somone take a look and let me know if you think I need to clean something off?
    I did do the SMC reset and that seemed to to give a little juice (like putting new tire on your car but still not where it was before the Mavericks upgrade) as I am up to about 6 hours of battery life after the SMC reset.
    Please let me know what other information you might need from me that would help and thank you so much!!

    Hi Lex,
    Not sure why but I had a hard time finding all of the related files to get rid of Origin. But I think I finally got them. I just uninstalled Flash and Chrome. I don't like Safari but all well. I suppose I can deal with it it until Apple fixes this battery issue and then maybe I can go back to Chrome. Safari isn't too happy with certain websites, under the Preferences/Security there is an error message that reads "Google Safe Browsing Service Is Not Available. Has not been updated in 8 days."
    Haven't noticed a change in battery since doing all of this so let me know if it will take a couple of days to reset. Or if you see anything else that I can do to help. Thank!

  • IPad 2 battery drain after iOS 5.0.1 update!!!

    iPad 2 battery is draining way too fast after the 5.0.1 update - I've lost over 10% just browsing the apple site over wifi for about 10 minutes - with no other apps running. NOT ACCEPTABLE APPLE!!!
    Same issue with my iPhone 4 that went from 62% when I went to bed last night to completely dead this morning - unused!!
    Apple - roll 5.0 back out to replace this battery leech. I need to be able to actually USE my products.

    Shirley 123 wrote:
    Same issue here! I've been reading on my fully-charged iPad and the battery is down to 78%. Never did this before the latest update. Yesterday, iPad quit before my usual evening reading!  Any solutions!
    I have personally seen the problem and corrected it on numerous models now including the 4S, 4, 3GS and iPad 2s.  Corrupt system level settings created by an iOS 5 bug in the original release that caused battery recalibration issues, etc.  Just installing the update does not fix the issue in most cases (sometime it initially can be worse).  You need to clear out those settings and recalibate the battery.  For those still having the "standby battery drain" issue follow the procedure below in order.  It does fix the problem in most cases.
    Go through these steps to address the battery after updating to iOS 5.0.1:
    1. Reset all settings (settings app-> general-> reset)
    2. Go through initial setup steps (lang, wifi, siri, enable location, etc) and choose setup as new phone (don't worry your apps, data, contacts, mail will still be there). At this point, Do NOT restore from iCloud or iTunes (It can copy back corrupt settings)
    3. Turn off system location services timezone and iAd
    4. Fully discharge battery  (tilll it shuts off with the spinning wheel)
    5. Fully recharge battery (overnight if possible)
    In my experience this improves the Standby battery drain issue significantly in most cases.  It reduces drain from 2-4% or more per hr to 0.5% or less. It has worked for many, many users now. If it does not work after a few try's you may have a real battery or hardware issue and should contact Apple.  Good Luck!

  • Battery drain after 2.2 update (Exchange Active Sync users or those who use a calendar on the phone)

    A lot of folks are having "issues" with battery life after the over the air (OTA) update and there has been much speculation as to the cause.  My frustrattion level increased with each new post I read that did not reveal a resolution.  The back and forth banter about FTC complaints (that was an interesting escape from the battery problem but not very helpful), new apps running from startup (I don't like 'em either), Linux really working better with all these programs running (don't really care as long as the battery level isn't drained after an hour of just sitting on the counter) just made matters worse.
    I would like to share with you my experience and hope that it helps some of you who have taken the time to read my post.  First, let me say that the cause is not due the the "bloatware" applications that were installed during the OTA update.
    Secondly, the primary purpose of my handheld is for voice calls but running close behind is my need for immediate email, contacts and calendar information (which is configured through Exchange Active Sync).  If you are not using your phone with Active Sync or updating a remote calendar like Google), you can stop reading this post.
    I noticed that the yin/yang (sync) icon at the top of my screen kept popping up more than usual after the update.  Looking through the items I have set to sync (Menu -> Settings -> Accounts & Sync), I reviewed all the things I have set and disabled the sync settings for the things I did not want.  After disabling the "Backup Assistant", "Google", "News", "Stocks" and "Weather", I thought for sure the issue would be resolved.  Not yet.  When those adjustments didn't change the frequency of the sync, I decided to look at the Exchange Active Sync and to my surprise, the culprit was revealed - the calendar was stuck in a sync loop (syncing over and over).  I disabled the "Sync Calendar" feature and the phone stopped it's maddening attempt to refresh the calendar.
    I let the phone cool off and thought that I could get by with manually toggling the option to sync the calendar but I couldn't accept that was the only way this thing would work.  I removed the Exchange Active Sync account and created a new one.  After the new account was verified, it attempted to sync mail, contacts and calendar but this time, there was a error that occured during the calendar sync.  Instead of repeatedly attempting to re-sync, an error message that stated "Client/Server conversion error".  At this point, the calendar sync loop was no longer a problem (wasnt' draining the battery) but now my calendar wouldn't sync at all. 
    To fix it, I cleared the data in the Calendar applications (Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> All [tab at the top]). Scroll down the list and open each of the Calendar items and click the "Clear Data" button. 
    (Credit goes to "Brenny" at AndroidForums.com for the post that explains how to clear the Calendar Data)
    It seems that adjustments made to events before the update were kept in the phones local storage.  After the update, the calendar data in the phone's cache was not matching my remote calendar and appears to have been the cause for my battery drain.  After performing these steps, everything is back to normal.  Good luck!

    Super frustrating, I know.  Do you use Exchange Active Sync?
    If so, you might be having the same issue that I've explained.  Since making the adjustments (clearing the data from the Active Sync components like mail, contacts and calendar), my battery life is back to normal.
    Try clearing the data (see first post in this thread) and let me know what happens.

  • Laptop battery drains after shut down

    Hi, I have bought hp pavilion 15-no28se  six months back,
    Its working good, but one issue is contantly irritating me, it is due to its battery drainage after shut down overnight.It almost drains 8-10 percent withing 12 hours. Whereas, I properly shut down it and caliberated as well, but of no use. Although, battery status is OK, and I think battery is fine becasue once I took out battery from laptop for 24 hours, then inserted again and checked it and not a single percent dropped down.
    I am so tense that why it is draining when battery works well and properly shut down?Please guide me on this.I am waiting..

    Hello again rocket_sc,
    I hope you had a great weekend!
    To test, calibrate, and re-synchronize your battery you will need to first follow the steps in this document on Testing and Calibrating the Battery (Windows 8). Once this is completed, and the battery continues to drain, then you can move to re-install the ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery.
    I understand that this process can be a little overwhelming, but not to worry! I would gladly expand on the steps provided above!
    To answer your first question: you are not uninstalling the software as you would from Programs and Features (like uninstalling software downloaded from a CD). Instead, you are removing small driver components removable from the Device Manager. 
    To get the Device Manager, please follow the steps below:
    Step 1. Go to Device Manager:
    a. Press the  and type "Device Manager"
    b. Click the Device Manager tab on the top right-hand side.
    c. The Device Manager should be open.
    Step 2. Select Batteries:
    a. Click the right-facing triangle to the left hand side of "batteries"
    Step 3. Right click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there
    a. If you see any duplicates of the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery", please select them both.  
    Step 4. Click Uninstall
    a. You might also see an option that says "disable." Please disregard this option, and click on Uninstall. 
    Step 5. At the prompt put a check in the box to remove the current driver
    Step 6. Restart the computer
    Step 7: Remove the battery for one minute and then put it back in
    When the computer comes back up it should automatically find and install the driver.
    Step 8. Go to Device Manager
    a. Press the  and type "Device Manager"
    b. Click the Device Manager tab on the top right-hand side.
    c. The Device Manager should be open.
    Step 9. Select Batteries
    a. Click the right-facing triangle to the left hand side of "batteries"
    Step 10. Right click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there (there should only be one).
    Step 11. Click "Update Driver Software"
    Do the same thing with Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller.
    a. If you do not see this parcel of software in the Device Manager, please skip this step. If you do, the same steps would include:
    * Right-clicking this device driver in the Device Manager
    * Click on "uninstall"
    * Put a check in the box next to "remove the current driver" and pressing "ok"
    * Restarting the computer
    * Remove the battery for one minute, then re-insert it
    * Return to the Device Manager
    * Right-clicking the Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller
    * Click "update driver software"
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

  • Samsung GS3 Battery Drain after 4.3 update

    Greetings,
    If you aren't already aware, there is a serious flaw in the most recent update to the Samsung Galaxy S3. The 4.3 update causes a serious issue with battery drain, screen responsiveness and some apps not functioning properly. If you search for this issue you’ll find it’s not carrier specific. This update was originally delayed due to battery drain and other issues yet here we are with a December roll out and the same issues. I called Verizon today and they are aware of this issue but have not received a plethora of calls (yet) according to the rep I spoke to.
    Bottom line, if you have not installed the update, DO NOT. Wait until a fix has been implemented. I’m lucky if I get 10 hours of light use when I could go 24 hours prior to the update. If I make a few phone calls and use any apps I am forced to charge my phone within a few hours. This is by far the worst issue I’ve ever had with this phone. Up until now everything has been quite solid. If you are having this issue please call Verizon so this can be escalated. I’m hoping a fix will be pushed out in the next couple of months or sooner. My Galaxy S3 is not rooted as I really never found a huge need to do so. Hopefully this issue will not push me in that direction. All I want is a phone that works as expected. You can try using the Deep Sleep Battery Saver app which has a free version for the time being.
    May the force be with you, always…..

    I noticed in December after an update that my phone was having significant battery drain issues. I also had issues with the phone suddenly shutting off when the battery wasn't even all the way ran down, but would not turn on until it was plugged in again.
    Now today I received another update. This one I had no choice but to receive. The battery is once again WORSE. I hate the new look on this update. Features I  used that were standard on the phone (such as T9 word) have disappeared and forced me to use an app to replace it (again, HATE that).  I realize the updates are essential to have the latest technology but I DO NOT understand why features disappear. This is so irritating I'm about to opt out of even having a smartphone all together. I got this phone when it was on the market 2 weeks. Its "old"  and my contract isnt even near up! Its ridiculous at best.

                      Volia the battery info:
    Now lets do a bit of an analysis of the info: here's mine a 2 mo. old 17” MBP:
    ModelInformation:
      SerialNumber:     ****************** (not shown by me)
      Manufacturer:     DP
      DeviceName:     ******************(not shown by me)
      PackLot Code:     0
      PCBLot Code:     0
      FirmwareVersion:     406
      HardwareRevision:     1
      CellRevision:     1102
      ChargeInformation:
      ChargeRemaining (mAh):     7806
      FullyCharged:     No
      Charging:     Yes
      FullCharge Capacity (mAh):     8488
      HealthInformation:
      CycleCount:     17
      Condition:     Normal
      BatteryInstalled:     Yes
      Amperage(mA):     2131
      Voltage(mV):     12534
    OK under“Charge Information” you see my MBP currently at 7806mAh (mstands Milli 
    which is 10 tothe -3 power) which translates to 7.806 Amp hours in non-techiespeak. As you see on mine Full Charge Capacity is 8.488 Amp hours.
    Ok under healthyou see my cycle count is 17. Your very low cycle count reflects that you are not “conditioning” your battery by runningit on battery till 5 minute warning or going to sleep and then fullyrecharging it! You've had it ~18 mo.
    And your dooming yourbattery to a short life. Condition your battery for a long life.
    Please notethis is a super battery 2.131 Amps @ 12.534Volts which
    ***** Apple says battery charge will last approximately 7 hours. Real world experience is significantly less with Lion OS installed. I get around 4.5 hours.

Try the “terminal” but cautionwith the “sudo” command.
