After last update battery consumption went up to 40%, reinnstalled and it dropped to 26%. But that is still way too high. Especially since I barely use it on my phone..

Hello, skypeisawfull-,
Thanks for submitting feedback about the battery life of Skype for Android. The developers of the app are making great strides to improve the functionality and other aspects, including battery life, so that it runs better for its users!
Skype, by nature, does use more battery than many other apps. It should be understood that it has to constantly contact Skype's servers in order to receive incoming call, chat and contact data. You can reduce the amount of battery usage by closing some other apps that you do not use, reducing screen use time, ensuring that you are in areas with good reception (because cell standby greatly reduces battery) and rebooting the phone after a day or two can make a difference in your battery life.
Remember that the development team has surely made it a priority to make the app consume less battery and kill off the bugs that cause that. They probably have more in store, so just you wait and see! Things could be looking good! With you posting this, they'll take notice and probably work to reduce that 26% usage to something lower in later updates!
Thanks for the feedback - keep 'em coming!

Severe battery drain after last verizon update

After the last update for my phone I have been experiencing around 10% battery drain an hour with moderate to low usage. I have already done 2 factory resets and formatting my SD card. I have disabled GPS, WIFI, Global access, Google now and everything else that i can find that could cause a drain. I have even gone and disabled/uninstalled all apps that I don't use. That didn't fix anything. I started to suspect that my battery was bad. Ordered a new from Samsung and charged it all night on there spare battery charger before using it. It actually seems to be draining even faster, after 45 minutes I was already at 88%. During that period I sent about a dozen texts and checked email and the weather. So I don't believe its the battery. Any suggestions to help resolve this will be greatly appreciated.

likegod04, thank for posting. Are you still having battery issues? If so, then next option will be to replace the device. How long have you had it? Is there any physical or water damaged done to the phone?^SP

IPhone 4 Shuts Off repeatedly and battery drains after ios7 update

This morning at 5:20 am, my alarm went off on my iphone like normal, I plugged my 100% battery charged iphone out of its charger and within 30 seconds it turned off. I quickly plugged it back in the charger and it dropped to 41%. Then as I had to start my morning and get to work and take the phone again out of its charger, it died again. So I got to work, and I have put my phone to "charge" while plugged to the charger, but as time passes, instead of charging my battery it looses life, then I recieved a notification to update my phone, which I did however this did not help my phone, it still continues to turn off once I plug the phone out of the charger.

Same here. My ipad mini used to last weeks, now I can barely get a full day out of it, after I finally updated to ios7. And yes I disabled every possible battery drainer I could find and rebooted. This is clearly to me a bug for the mini, possibly their code that drains batteries on older devices to force people to buy new hardware is running faster than it used to when it would only kill your battery twice as fast, perhaps something else I would hope, but I'm about to hack my device and return to ios 6 as this is absurd. I can put my ipad down for a few hours and pick it up with a 5% drain or overnight with a 70% drain.

Battery drain after lion update

Anyone having problems with there battery draining faster after updating to lion

Here's what I posted for other forum troopers: please note ***** comment at end
Ok here are my recommendations for your consideration:
Goto the “apple “on your top menu bar. Click 1stoption (About this Mac) a small screen will appear
and click on “More Info...which will take to a large another smallscreen with Mac Book Pro in huge
l letters like this: MacBookPro.
Next gothe “Systems Report” button: press.
Next Under“Hardware” on the left you'll see “Power” click that.
                  Volia the battery info:
Now lets do a bit of an analysis of the info: here's mine a 2 mo. old 17” MBP:

OK under“Charge Information” you see my MBP currently at 7806mAh (mstands Milli

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.

Heavy battery drain after OS Update 10.3.1.1779

couple of days ago my phone (Z10) upgraded to new software version 10.3.1.1779. Now the battery barely lasts four to five hours. Usually not more than four. Is this a f****ng joke, Blackberry?!
I checked and I constantly have PIM services at 30-40 %, which is the main battery drainer. Following the suggestions on some of the forums I tried deleting accounts and found one that - being deleted - solves the problem. However, when I add it again it drains the battery again. The point is that i MUST have it on. this is mail only, no calendars, contacts. When I add it I left the phone overnight to download all it needed, 12 hours later PIM services still run at 30-40% all the time.
Reloading the software does not help either.
pls help, I am running out the ideas... I can't keep my phone connected to charger at all times...

After any OS upgrade on a BB10 device, it will take 48-72 hours for the device data syncing of email, contacts, social apps, etc., to complete and finish. High data transfer after an upgrade cause high processor use, which in turn causes high battery usage. Likewise, high processor use will cause some lag and initial slowness. Ignore and and be patient. It can take the 48 hours for all contacts to sync back to the device. And, the battery will recover after a few days. Just don't drain your battery to 10% or less each time, top off the charge. You'll notice a difference after a couple days. Additionally, look at your Device Manager and in the top pull down menu tap LAST 24 HOURSTap the Battery tab at bottom. What are the top 3-4 processes draining the battery?Tap the CPU tab, what are the top 3-4 processes using the CPU?

Lumia 820 battery drain after "Black" update

Hi all,
Yesterday I finally received the black update on my NL820. After applying the update successfully I charged the phone to %100. Before I went to bed I had:
Battery at %94
Wifi - Off
Data services - Off
Location services - Off
Bluetooth - Off
Battery Saver - On
This morning I wake up and it is unusually bright outside - the phone powered off, the alarm didn't go off and I overslept for work. I haven't touched any other settings after the update. Everything is the way I used it before. What is it that could drain a battery in the space of 8 hours from almost full to power off? I've had this happen on the same phone twice prior to the upgrade as well but then I thought I've forgot data services on or something. This time I'm sure everything was off.
Please advise.
Martin

I have been using Lumia 820 since 1 year and have never faced any issues. But after the recent "black" update... my mobile battery drains out within few hours after i charge it 100%. I have to charge it 3-4 times in a day ..
1. I dont have any GPRS connection.
2. I use wifi at home (only evenings). The rest of the day.. I use it only for calls and texts.
3. I have tried hard reset, but that dint help.
4. After hard reset, I dint update my mobile software.
I charge it till 11pm and when I wake up at 5 am .. I see the mobile is switched off and I cant depend on the alarm to wake me up . That makes me so nervous.
Please bring out some solution to this problem. It is so irritating to charge the mobile for so many times in day.

Battery drain after win10 update

Hi everybody! Recently updated to win10. No major issues so far. My only problem is the battery drainage. According to specifications, my laptop has a 6 hour work time when unplugged. Ever since I updated, my work time has diminished to 3hrs max. I had no problems woth my battery so far, that's why I believe that it has something to do with either Windows or drivers. I have installed all updates from HP support assistant. I have also tampered with the power saving setting with no success. Any suggestions? Thank you!!!

Thank you!!!Does your battery drain when you sleep the laptop or shut down. There is a major problem with drivers and Windows 10, because my laptop would not sleep or shut down, unless I did a hard shut down my battery would drain very easily.

Poor battery life after last update

Hello! I got my Z3 in March and when I got it I loved its long battery life. I'm a very heavy user of my phone and managed to get 8 hours of screen on time out of it in between charges. I'm not sure if it has been gradual or sudden but I've noticed that lately, the battery life on my phone only lasts for about 3 hours of screen on time. I use my phone for the same things as I did when I first got it.
When I got my phone it was preinstalled with 4.4.4, I got the 5.0.2 update in mid-april and I got the 5.1.1 update a few days ago.
Here's some screenshots of my battery usage. http://m.imgur.com/JWe4Bt4,ybDx4wq
Also, I have quite a good knowledge of how android works and what can drain battery etc.
When I got 8 hours of screen on time when I first got it I was running google now and google fit (step tracker) and I stopped using those when my battery life started getting worse.
Please help! Thanks.
Jack

Hi @Redindian
You can try boot your device on safe mode like this to see if the issue persists:
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/FAQ/How-to-boot-your-phone-into-safe-mode/m-p/348008#U348008 Check this link too: http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/xperiaz3/faq/My-battery-runs-flat-too-fast/
Also I suggest you to first run a backup of the device information like this:
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/FAQ/Backup-amp-Transfer/m-p/407253#U407253
Then try performing a system repair using PC Companion:
http://support.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/
This will factory reset your phone and erase all data. You might need tocharge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 80% battery. Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device). Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the on screen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process. If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP.
I hope can be useful and I'm at disposal for any question.
Best Regards,

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?

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.

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.

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.

Anyone else have terrible battery drain since the update?

I did the update yesterday morning and right away started to notice battery drain.. Before that I had the best battery of any iphone I've ever had. I have the 5s currently. I changed nothing so there should be no change in my battery usage so the only thing it could be is something with the upgrade. It's probably too early since the update came out to know what the problem is and I guess I should have waited to do it till the bugs were worked out. Other then that I have found no problems. Anyone else having the battery drain problem?

I'm sure there are people who had battery drain after updating to 7.1.1. I'm sure because there are people who posted about it, and you could have found out yourself just be reading the forum or searching it. How does knowing that help you?
I'm also sure there were people who had extra battery drain after updating to 7.1, and to 7.0, and to 6.3, and to 6.2, and to 6.1, and to 6.0, and to 5.4, and to 5.3...all the way down to 1.1. Again, because they posted and said so.
For the record, my battery usage hasn't changed since updating.
You are wrong that the only thing it could be is the upgrade. If it were the upgrade there would be 10,000 or more posts about it already.
However, sometimes the process of upgrading "confuses" some apps, and they run continuously trying to recover. This drains the battery rapidly. To solve the problem take basic troubleshooting steps, and stop once the problem is resolved:
Turn the phone off by holding the SLEEP button until slide to power off appears; wait a few minutes, then turn it back on
Restart iOS by holding HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears (10-15 seconds)
Kill all running apps - double press the HOME button, and flick each screen image up. Then restart the phone again
Restore the phone using iTunes on your computer
Usually one of these will fix it. Post back if none of them work.
