Hi everyone
I recently went out of town and about halfway into the trip, my battery life on my edge decreased dramatically. Nothing is waking the phone or keeping it awake, and I didn't update anything at all.
I discovered through Gsam that it is the phone radio using a lot of juice. On normal days when I use my phone, its at about 15%. When the phone sits overnight, the phone radio used 80% of the battery. Before this, I didn't even notice the radio was using battery.
Before, I used to be able to let my phone sits overnight and it would drop 2%. Today I woke up and it dropped from 100% to 78% just from the radio. Literally nothing woke the phone up all night too. Its dropping around 2 or 3 percent an hour now. Before this, i could throw the phone in my bag and come home with 98% at the end of the dsy. My signal isn't great at home, but its always been not great, even when I got amazing battery life.
I did a factory reset which didn't help, I've turned the phone off and on again, charged it when it was off, took the battery out and nothing changes.
Anyone have any idea why my phone radio is suddenly going wacky? Maybe something different with the signal my phone is receiving?
I couldn't find any solutions online. I can try and post screenshots of my battery stats.
Thanks!
edit: here are some screenshots. Battery dropped from 100-78% with around 5 mins of screen time. The rest of the screen time and use is from me looking for solutions online
