Re: why is my battery life draining so fast and other problems

Welcome to Android Central! Charge up to 100%, then let it drain to 20-30% with normal usage, without charging in between. Then show us:

1. The main Settings>Battery screen.
2. The fullscreen battery graph screen (which shows Awake time and Cell Signal Strength).
3. The Screen category (to see total Screen On time).
4. The Cell Standby category, if present (to see Time Without Signal).

The photos you're seeing sound like thumbnails. Your browser and/or some app may be caching a lot of thumbnails (depending on what the app does), which can show up in your Gallery app. What do the images look like? Do they look like personal avatars? If you play social games, the app might cache a lot of players' avatars.
