WP8.1 35% battery usage in an hour

After installing WP 8.1, I'm facing a strange issue, I charged my phone to 100% about an hour ago, but now it shows 65% remaining.
The weird thing is, the new battery saver usage statistics shows really high battery usage for apps that i've never used after installing WP 8.1 update. And they are all background usages according to the battery saver.
Is anyone else facing a similar issue?

In battery saver usage statistics, Internet Explorer is on top and about 70% of it's battery usage is in background.
2nd one is the default Camera app, 100% in background
3rd app on the list is Angry Birds GO, 100% in background
4th one is google mail account,
5th is a TV app, i dont even remember when i've installed it
6th is OneDrive, 100% background usage but background usage of the app has been disabled.
7th is Speedtest.net app, I've used it a couple of weeks ago, that's all
I've used a few apps after installing WP 8.1 preview and IE is one of them, the other apps that I've used was at the bottom of the list, that's really weird.

  • General- Usage- Battery Usage

    Hi,
    The "Usage and Standby" in General -> Usage -> Battery Usage only showing sometimes. Most of the time they're not shown.
    And, "Battery Usage - Last 24 Hours" seems having a bug...
    Thanks.
    Ed

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?
    And your phone has to be charge up to 100% to show the correct standby and usage time. If you connect it to your computer to sync, it will not show you the correct usage anymore.

  • I'm having major issues with battery life on my iphone 5 . When I'm on 3G my battery on lat 6 hours . But when I'm on edge network I get almost 8 hours usage and full day stand by . That's a. Major difference. But these phones were built for 3G and LTE .

    The battery only last 6hrs complete with basic normal usage . I tried all the suggestions and nothing was helping. I finally tried switching off the 3G to EDGE and what a major difference in battery life . My phones last more than a day . I got so far 8 hrs usages And 25 hours standby . But that's phones were created to handle lte and 3 g why is it killing the battery life ?? How can I resolve this issue ?

    Thanks for the replies. It took a while not hearing anything so thought I was alone. I have done many of the suggestions already. The key here is that it occurs on both phones with apps, and phones still packaged in a box.
    A Genius Bar supervisor also checked his Verizon data usage log and found the same 6 hour incremental use. Suprisingly, he did not express much intrigue over that. Maybe he did, but did not show it.
    I think the 6 hour incremental usage is the main issue here. I spoke with Verizon (again) and they confirmed that all they do is log exactly when the phone connected to the tower and used data. The time it records is when the usage started. I also found out that the time recorded is GMT.
    What is using data, unsolicited, every 6 hours?
    Why does it change?
    Why does it only happen on the iPhone 5 series and not the 4?
    Since no one from Apple seems to be chiming in on this, and I have not received the promised calls from Apple tech support that the Genius Bar staff said I was suppose to receive, it is starting to feel like something is being swept under the rug.
    I woke up the other day with another thought ... What application would use such large amounts of data? Well ... music, video, sound and pictures of course. Well ... what would someone set automatically that is of any use to them? hmmm ... video, pictures, sound. Is the iPhone 5 succeptible to snooping? Can an app be buried in the IOS that automatically turns on video and sound recording, and send it somewhere ... every 6 hours? Chilling. I noted that the smallest data usage is during the night when nothing is going on, then it peaks during the day. The Genius Bar tech and I looked at each other when I drew this sine wave graph on the log print outs during an appointment ...

  • What can I do to increase battery usage time to greater than 6 hours?

    What can I do to increase battery usage time to greater than 6 hours?     I have a New iPad purchased 03/23/2012 64K-WiFi.    I recharge it and get another 6 hours usage.  I am using it primarily for reading books.  Are there any applications I can turn off to get back to 10 hours?

    @Ralph9430   The changes you recommended were implemented.  This afternoon approximately at the same time and with similar usage all day The New iPad had 36% left on battery.  This is a gain of 30% battery life.  Thank you.  Your suggestions resolved the issues.

  • IPhone 6 Battery Usage setting not working.

    When I go to my setting and check my Battery Usage setting it states: "Battery information will be available after using iPhone for a few minutes". I've been using it for hours and I get the same response when I go to the setting. I've turned off my phone multiple times to see if that would resolve it, but it hasn't. Is anyone else experiencing this behavior?

    Hello.
    I have the same problem. iPhone 5, iOS8.0.2, used for a few days - still no usage statistics, only "Battery information will be available after using iPhone for a few minutes".
    I tried restore iPhone (DFU) without restoring backup from iCloud/iTunes, resets, hard-resets, erase all settings, drain battery to 0% and charge to 100% overnight etc. - nothing helps.
    I wrote to the Apple about this problem.
    Here is the page that you can use to contact with Apple and report a bug - https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    Please, give the title of "iOS8 battery usage statistics not working" (or something like that), choose the "Bug ​​report" and describe the problem. Perhaps it will make that Apple will eliminate this problem in the next version of iOS. More report - greater chance.
    Regards 

  • I have an iPhone 4s just eight months, it is normal that the battery lasts only 3 hours? please help me thank you very much.

    I have an iPhone 4s just eight months, it is normal that the battery lasts only 3 hours? please help me thank you very much.

    Three hours if definitely NOT normal. I get at least 48 hours out my 2 year old iPhone 4S' battery with light usage. Did you do the iOS 7 update on the phone it self (OTA) or through iTunes? In my experience most problems are caused by the OTA updates. For this reason I ALWAYS update using iTunes on my computer.
    I would suggest restoring your phone using iTunes on your computer and setting it us as a new phone. This downloads a fresh copy of iOS 7.1 from Apple and installs it on your phone. Just make sure that you transfer all purchased items (apps, music, etc.) as well as photos to your computer before restoring as the restore will completely wipe your phone. Do not restore from a back-up. Yes, you will loose all your data on the phone but restoring a back-up can restore the problem you are currently having back to your phone. Once your phone has been restored you can manually sync back your apps and music.
    Before restoring you can also check to see that battery-killers like Location Services, Background App Refresh, etc are only turned on for the apps that really need it. I recently read and article that said that the Facebook app can be a real battery killer. If you have this app installed turn of location services and background app refresh for this app and see if that helps. Also go to Settings / General / Restrictions / Location Services / System Services and turn off all the options in that menu. Your phone does not need any of those to function. Constantly using your phone's GPS is a huge battery killer. I only have Location Services enabled for Find my iPhone and Background App Refresh is turned off completely.
    I hope this helps.

  • I'm trying to resolve a battery usage problem

    I'm trying to resolve a battery usage problem on my iPhone 5S ...
    Have been working with an Apple agent via chat and I'm 99% certain it's a software problem, but I can't isolate wish software ...
    So, I'm going to set up my iPhone up as new (when I did this as part of identifying where the problem is, it help its charge for 24 hours) but I have a problem with photos ...
    I can see photos on my iPhone (restored from an iCloud backup) up to date, but on my iMac/iPhoto with my iPhone attached i) I can only see photos on my iPhone up to a date in the past (mid October 2014) and ii) iPhoto says all photos have already been imported ...
    How can I (can I) get the more recent photos onto my iMac e.g. into a folder and then import them from there into iPhoto?
    Also, why is the restore from an iCloud backup taking so long (it's been 14 hours now) when I'm pretty certain everything's now there that should be?

    Just to add ... my real problem is that I can see photos on my iPhone, but in iPhoto with the iPhone connected, I can only see photos up to a certain date - weird?!!!

  • Battery life about 2 hours from a full charge

    future battery considerations:
    Gaming: In cases of heavy and frequent use in gaming it is recommended, if possible, to keep your Mac plugged in since these frequent fast and deep discharges of the battery are not ideal for battery longevity.
    If you were to always keep your macbook battery floating between 20% and 80% charge roughly, then you’d have no other considerations to make about your battery and its care,… except for long-term storage.
    Keep it plugged in when near a socket so you keep the charging cycles down on your LiPo (lithium polymer) cells / battery, but not plugged in all the time. When not being used for several hours, turn it off.
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html
    "Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time."
    General rule to remember of Lithium batteries is:
    Never drain them LOW  & dont always/often store them HIGH
    While cycle count is commonly seen to be the “miles” on your Lithium Ion pack cell in your Macbook, which they are, this distinction is not a fine line at all, and it is a big misconception to “count charge cycles”
    *A person who has, for example, 300 charge cycles on their battery and is recharging at say 50-60% remaining of a 100% charge has better battery usage and care than another person who has 300 charge cycles at say 15% remaining on a 100% charge. 
    DoD (depth of discharge) is far more important on the wear and tear on your Macbook battery than any mere charge cycle count.  *There is no set “mile” or wear from a charge cycle in general OR in specific.    As such, contrary to popular conception, counting cycles is not conclusive whatsoever, rather the amount of deep DoD on an averaged scale of its use and charging conditions.
                              (as a very rough analogy would be 20,000 hard miles put on a car vs. 80,000 good miles being something similar)
    *Contrary to some myths out there, there is protection circuitry in your Macbook and therefore you cannot overcharge it when plugged in and already fully charged
    *However if you don’t plan on using it for a few hours, turn it OFF (plugged in or otherwise) ..*You don’t want your Macbook both always plugged in AND in sleep mode       (When portable devices are charging and in the on or sleep position, the current that is drawn through the device is called the parasitic load and will alter the dynamics of charge cycle. Battery manufacturers advise against parasitic loading because it induces mini-cycles.)
    Keeping batteries connected to a charger ensures that periodic "top-ups" do very minor but continuous damage to individual cells, hence Apples recommendation above:   “Apple does not recommend leaving your portable plugged in all the time”, …this is because “Li-ion degrades fastest at high state-of-charge”.
                        This is also the same reason new Apple notebooks are packaged with 50% charges and not 100%.
    LiPo (lithium polymer, same as in your Macbook) batteries do not need conditioning. However...
    A lot of battery experts call the use of Lithium cells the "80% Rule" ...meaning use 80% of the charge or so, then recharge them for longer overall life.
    Never let your Macbook go into shutdown and safe mode from loss of power, you can corrupt files that way, and the batteries do not like it.
    The only quantified abuse seen to Lithium cells are instances when often the cells are repeatedly drained very low…. key word being "often"
    Contrary to what some might say, Lithium batteries have an "ideal" break in period. First ten cycles or so, don't discharge down past 40% of the battery's capacity. Same way you don’t take a new car out and speed and rev the engine hard first 100 or so miles.
    Proper treatment is still important. Just because LiPo batteries don’t need conditioning in general, does NOT mean they dont have an ideal use / recharge environment. Anything can be abused even if it doesn’t need conditioning.
    From Apple on batteries:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1446
    http://www.apple.com/batteries/
    Storing your MacBook
    If you are going to store your MacBook away for an extended period of time, keep it in a cool location (room temperature roughly 22° C or about 72° F). Make certain you have at least a 50% charge on the internal battery of your Macbook if you plan on storing it away for a few months; recharge your battery to 50% or so every six months roughly if being stored away. If you live in a humid environment, keep your Macbook stored in its zippered case to prevent infiltration of humidity on the internals of your Macbook which could lead to corrosion.
    Considerations:
    Your battery is subject to chemical aging even if not in use. A Lithium battery is aging as soon as its made, regardless.
    In a perfect (although impractical) situation, your lithium battery is best idealized swinging back and forth between 20 and 85% SOC (state of charge) roughly.
    Further still how you discharge the battery is far more important than how it is either charged or stored short term, and more important long term that cycle counts.
    Ultimately counting charge cycles is of little importance.  Abuse in discharging (foremost), charging, and storing the battery and how it affects battery chemistry is important and not the ‘odometer’ reading, or cycle counts on the battery. 
    Everything boils down to battery chemistry long term, and not an arbitrary number, or cycle count.
    Keep your macbook plugged in when near a socket since in the near end of long-term life, this is beneficial to the battery.
    Peace

  • Does SMS relay iOS 8.1 cause extra iPhone battery usage?

    I was messing with both SMS relay the other day and noticed that my battery drained almost twice as fast..
    I was also messing with handoff and basically just testing the new integration features between Yosemite and iOS8.1
    But my question is about SMS relay.. Does anyone know if this will us up more iPhone battery than if I wasn't using SMS relay and just SMSing from the iPhone itself?
    Does SMS relay work via bluetooth? Could this be a cause for extra battery usage? It could be possible that I was jus using my phone a bit extra that day but I just want to make sure as I have SMS relay turned off for now, don't want battery life dropping..
    -Frank

    I had the same problem. I realized that it had everything to do with my calendar app. My iCalendar was having a difficult time fetching information from my Outlook and Yahoo Calendar. Causing my battery percentage to decline at a very rapid rate. (50% in a 4 hour time frame). I resolved the  problem by going into my Settings >" Messaging , Contact , Calendar" Setting > Clicking on one of my selected Accounts ( Outlook or Yahoo) and turning off the Calendar Sync. The problem seemed to go away after doing this. Now I'm only using 4% battery life in a 4 hour time frame in StandBy Mode. Well I Can only hope that this will help resolve the battery drainage issue. Good Luck ....

  • Still No Battery Usage Stats

    Hi folks, I've seen lots of posts on this but still haven't seen a good answer. I have had my iPhone since launch day. I haven't hacked it once. I've updated to 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 on the evenings those updates came out. My battery usage stats continue to say the following even after the battery charge indicator reads full-charge as indicated by the "plug" icon:
    Usage --
    Standby --
    Is this a bug? Or does this indicate a hardware problem? Am I too late to get a replacement?

    I've had the same issue since I fist got my phone. I called Applecare once and was told they are aware of the issue and it should be fixed in an update. This was about two days prior to the 1.0.1 release. I also visited the genius bar twice. First time I was told to do a software re-install. Second time they acted kind of clueless but checked a few employee phones and all we like mine, dashes only.
    Here is what I've observed, or my timeline on this issue:
    - After buying my phone and noticing this problem I went to the Apple store and the 4 or 5 phones I picked up all had usage meter stats. Genius bar was closed but someone helped me anyway and suggested a software re-install (this was prior to 1.0.1
    - When I went in for my second genius bar appointment I checkout out at least a dozen phones and all had "charing timer" stats. Both meters apparently counting up (hours charged) and both identical. This was after 1.0.1.
    If I do a restart while the phone is plugged in I get the charging timers instead of the dashes, but my phone acts up and once I restart again it goes back to dashes.
    I've got good battery life. Hopefully this will be fixed in an update down the road. Bottom line is there is a warranty on the phone so I'm just going to stop worrying.

  • Battery usage won't display in settings on iPad Air

    How can I get my usage since last charge to display in settings on my iPad Air?? I have done a hard reset and really do not want to to do a restore reset as Apple does not know how to fix the problem And that's the only option that they have given me.  I have only had to charge my ipad 3 times since receiving it, and it has never displayed the time. Any suggestions would be great!!

    My brand new ipad air 1 is not displaying the battery usage figures. I did an 18 hour charge before using it and expected the values to be shown.
    Please help

  • Top right battery icon does not show battery usage

    So over the weekend I did not charge my iPhone, because the icon always said I had full battery life. I believed it because I never made a call, listened to music/video or surfed the net. It basically stayed in sleep in my pocket both days.
    I get to work monday, pull it out to listen to music and I get the full screen battery icon showing the battery is dead with the plug and lightning bolt icons under it, then it turns off on its own. If I turn it on again, same deal.
    I get home, hook it up to my PC and charge it, it works fine.
    Today i've been listening to the iPod all day and surfing the net on EDGE and the battery icon in the top right shows full battery. To test I turned WIFI on for the past few hours to check and it's still showing full battery.
    Basically just the battery icon in the top right isn't recognizing the battery being used. My Usage stats in Settings are also blank for Time Since Last Full Charge.
    Background info:
    Refurbished iPhone bought directly from ATT, came with 1.1.1, immediatly upgraded to 1.1.4
    I've tried hard reboots.
    I keep push e-mail and WiFi off at all times. WiFi comes on very rarely and only for short amounts of time.
    I keep the phone connected to my PC overnight, but the PC does not go into any sort of sleep mode(ruling out not charging overnight)
    I'm going to go home tonight and restore the phone to see if that helps, but I wanted to see if this is hardware related or software. This just started this weekend and i've had the phone for a few weeks now, and other than some short battery life at the beginning when I would keep wifi and push e-mail on a lot, or the random Safari closings, no other issues.
    Message was edited by: D0rk4L

    DOrk4L,
    Have you tried re-calibrating the battery? To re-calibrate it, let the battery drain completely and then charge it fully. You should see correct battery usage after that.
    Hope this helps,
    Jennifer B.

  • Android 5.1.1 battery usage high?

    Samsung S6 updated over air yesterday to 5.1.1 TBH I haven't seen that much difference in using it. But I used to use my phone all day and still have >50% battery left when put on charge overnight. Today I'm down to 20% with a good few hours left to normal recharge time. I've checked battery usage, and the highest usage is play services @ 25%. Is this normal? I haven't needed to check battery usage prior to issues, so this maybe perfectly normal. I've restarted my phone, turned off wifi GPS & bluetooth lunchtime (all these are normally left on) and still dropping fast. Is it just me, or are others suffering with battery drain since upgrade?

    Hi 
    There's been a few posts around various issues after the over the air update.
    Doing a back-up then a factory re-set seems to resolve the issue.

  • Battery Usage Screen won't display any (app) data

    Hi Folks.
    I was so lucky that I've got a new iPhone 6 just 20 mins after inital sales here in Germany. On my way to the office in the morning I checked the device, and I really liked the Battery Usage feature. Waited so long for that. However, back in my office I connected the device with my Mac to install my last backup from my old iPhone 5s. That worked as designed, pretty good and without any issues.
    But now the Battery Usage Screen that can be found under Settings > General > Usage > Battery Usage is empty. I only see a switch between the last 24 hours or 7 days, and thats it. There is a hint saying that I have to use the phone for a few minutes unless data is available, but I used it quiet a lot in the last two days Reboot haven't worked, same with killing the Settings app.
    Does anyone have the same issue? Google don't know anything yet, same with this board here.
    Thanks for any answer...

    Mine started working today. I did reset settings in Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset Settings. It took about 20 minutes for it to start working and I'm not 100% sure if this is what fixed but I thought I'd pass it along.

  • Battery Usage after upgrade

    I have upgrade my Z10 to the latest Software and I am highly disapointed by it, my Bluetooth connection to my Mercedes bluetooth carkit is not working anymore, and within 4 hours my baterry is totally empty, due to the Hub and the system, haven't called or received a call during that time.
    Now i have to load my phone 3 times a day, that is not the way to release new upgrades.

    I am now running the New OS as from Wednesday evening besides the well known issues with the battery and the Bluetooth, what I see I am happy with, BUT I really can't understand that BlackBerry who is not as popular anymore and is in really bad weather can effort such a terrible OS release, I agree with Paul that this looks like a Early Beta release then as a finished tested release. I AM NO fan from Apple and Android, but if BlackBerry keeps on releasing such OS upgrades they will soon be without any clients and Chapter 11 will looming soon. As from this morning I switched BlackBerry Link off and that helps a bit. I will be patient for the Battery usage BUT the Bluetooth not working is really not acceptable.
